Selasi. 
He and Andrew are my most liked, right from the start, but TBH Selasi was mostly outclassed by the others for a number of weeks. He was middle of the road for a long time, just lucky others screwed up more in previous weeks. Shame to see him go though, as he was really likeable.
I think Candice will win, her mistakes generally have been less significant than the others.

Shoot, I'd forgotten next year is announced to just be charity/celebrity stuff, right?
Man, that's a proper downer for the day.

We also have a couple of Christmas specials, with returning bakers from past series.

ITV, ugh. Theirs will be a horrible celebrity version hosted by Stephen Mulhern.
Pretty sure there is already a kids' version on CBBC?

Candice's meringue looked delicious. EDIT: Jane's too, Andrew's seems to be the weakest of the lot.
Edit: it's between Jane and candice at the moment it seems. Sad as I really wanted Andrew to win it but I'd say Candice will win.

He should win just for that.
EDIT: This bake is just crazy in how much they have to do.

Poor Andrew, he bottled it. Candice has it in the bag.
EDIT: Andrew looks heart broken, don't think my heart can take watching him not be announced as the winner.

"..I'm good enough"
Would watch the crazy baking adventures of Jane and Candice

Can attest to this.
My wife makes them from a recipe in a Fabulous Baker Boys book.
Nom.
That was cool how they decided to go on a trip together.

Loved Candice from the beginning so happy to see her win.
Yet again I tear up as they play the sad piano music and the winner gives a teary speech about being good enough. I'm a total sucker.
I'll definitely miss the show but glad it at least gets to go out on a high. And Mary and Mel and Sue will do something together so there's that to look forward to. They'll make something feel-good to fill the gap.

Ah, fucking finally, for the first time I've not had a bake off final ruined by the twats at The Guardian! (a.k.a. I remembered to disable notifications on the app and didn't go on their website before watching the show).
Congrats Candice!
But tbh, we're all winners since Andrew chose to wear shorts. *swoon*

And in the meantime, Auntie Beeb, I would be quite happy to watch Candice And Jane's International Baking Adventure. Particularly if they have an episode where they drop in on Val in Ayia Napa.
This. That scene of the two of them by the picnic table, with that caption, was just a perfect[/i[ end to it all, it really was.I utterly love this show.
All in all, the right baker deservedly won. Jane did exactly what she's done for the last six weeks - right solid bakes, not quite good enough to win, but definitely better than most. Andrew did what he does - engineered marvels that either work perfectly or don't quite go.
Loved the challenges of the final - they fit the original pitch of this season really well, and there was an obvious focus on "home baking" - big batches, key skills, simple decorations rather than one key elaborate showstopper. Really liked that. And that technical challenge was fun to watch the reveal.
Not sure if it's because I knew it was the last one, or I've become a bit saturated to it, but kind of feel, in an odd way, that I was glad that was the last one.
The downward spiral had already started and at some point over the next couple of years it was going to jump the shark.
Although this speech was still the highlight for me
