My first post in any internet forum ever but I've read every comment here about this show. I was nervous all season that one of the original viewers would have made a late post (before US airing) to one of the episode threads that revealed the winner. Not that it would have stopped me from watching the show but it was fun to have no idea who would win since any of the three of them could have taken it on a good day. I was glad it was Nadiya in the end. Heh, I just remembered telling a friend who likes to bake about the bread episode. She wanted to look up some pictures of the bread sculptures and I annoyingly told her about 10 times in 5 minutes "just make sure you don't tell me who wins if you find out". She was not amused.
I had to laugh when Mrs. Ian said he applied for the show because she wanted to go to the garden party but had no idea what it would turn into (cue video of their kitchen looking like a disaster). I "knew" Ian for 2 hours of tv time and could tell he was exactly the sort who gets obsessively into whatever is currently his thing so I bet Mrs. Ian had an idea what she was in for. Imagine what life must be like with Ian as your husband! Super fascinating but I guess it takes some patience too. Sure, honey, go ahead and turn our office into a metal working shop. No big deal, I'll just work in the kids bedroom. Oh, you want start cultivating fungus in the basement, sounds great!
I will miss this show. I don't cook at all but I love how much they actually talk about the process compared to US food reality tv.
