So I thought I would start a thread for the GBBO as the new series started last week - please tell me it's not just me watching!

Who's your favourite in this series so far? Jamie is a disaster but I love him <3 I'm interested to see how David does because he is cooking with a healthy twist which has recently become a hobby of mine :)

    I love GGBO! 

    I love everyone at the moment! They all have such unique ideas and tastes and I’m excited to see what else they bake next week. 😊

    I love bake off!

    I'm not sure who my favourite is yet, but there's some really great people in it this year!
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    Yay I was hoping there would be a bake off thread!
    I agree love Jamie, he's hilarious! On the first episode me and my family chose our winners - and if any of us win then we will get some sort of prize! I went for Henry :heart:

    I love bake off!! I watch it with my mum, usually on a Wednesday night as we're busy on Tuesday nights. I don't have a favourite yet, like them all!

    I love Bake Off! I did like Amelia because she's from my home town, now I like Rosie! Mostly because of the cute animals in the video clips about her!

    David shouldnt of won it. 
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley
