https://giphy.com/3o7TKDLPYulG6hgJqMI've noticed before that Paul can't handle 'manly men' in the tent. I think it upsets his ego. Paul 'lion bread' being a prison governor was never going to be intimidated by orange Paul.
He absolutely should have got star baker for that lion. It was absolutely amazing.

He would be perfectI'm not keen on Matt either. He's like he's trying too hard or something. I just don't find him funny. Noel is great though. You know who I think would be fab? (especially paired with Noel) Dara O' Briain. He's got that dry wit.
The smug one. There's one every year. Ian who was in the final the year Nadiya won had to be the worst ever.Wonder which one of that bunch is going to be the falsely modest one that aces every challenge?
Can't wait for the new series
Oh when you see a big list you remember so many you've forgotten! How could I forget KIM JOY!? Omg sameeeeeee she was a fucking twat bagSeries 5 was my favourite too.
Favourites:
Mary Anne Boermanns (S2)
James Morton (S3)
Ruby Tandoh (S4, controversial, but I liked Ruby)
Kate Henry (S5, really loved Kate)
Luis Troyano (S5, absolute gentleman RIP Luis)
Norman Calder (S5)
Richard Burr (S5)
Paul Jagger (S6, his 'bread lion' is still to this day, the BEST thing I have EVER seen on Bake Off)
Tamal Ray (S6)
Benjamina Ebuehi (S7)
Sophie Faldo (S8, picked her as the winner on night one)
Jon Jenkins (S9)
Rahul Mandal (S9, picked him as the winner on night one)
Henry Bird (S10)
Couldn't stand:
Joanne Wheatley (S2, "I've only ever been a poor wife and Mum". She spent the entire series chanting this)
Cathryn Dresser (S3, "Oh my giddy aunt, oh my giddy aunt, oh my giddy aunt")
Howard Middleton (S4, gave me the creeps, spit of my BIL which didn't help matters)
Diane Beard (S5, evil bitch. She did that to Iain's ice cream on purpose)
IAN CUMMING (S6, without a shadow of a doubt I have never hated a Bake Off contestant so much. SMUG, SMUG, SMUG)
Kate Barmby (S7, just came across as such a goody goody)
Steven Carter Bailey (S8, another smug man)
Stacey Hart (S8, ditzy, everything pink, totally fake)
Yan Tsou (S8, also bordering on smug)
Dan Beasling Harling (S8, smug yet again. There seems to be a lot of them)
KIM JOY HEWLETT (my second most hated after Smug Ian. She was just SO irritating, with her children's clothes and turning on the tears every five minutes)
David Atheton (S10, yup, it's another smug one)
Michelle Evans Fecci (S10, "I'm Welsh, I'm from Wales, Have I mentioned that I'm Welsh, Did I tell you that I'm from Wales?" I've got nothing against the Welsh. I just don't understand why she had to tell us every five minutes)
Laura Adlington (S11, Actually I probably hate her even more than Smug Ian. Constantly claimed that everyone was trolling her and picking on her because of her size and that was why she didn't win. No, she didn't win because she was a shit baker and there was no way she deserved to be in the final. She also had a serious attitude problem)
And breathe
I didn't really like any of last year's contestants.
Looking at this years contestants, I suspect that Lizzie could be this year's Kim Joy .....Oh when you see a big list you remember so many you've forgotten! How could I forget KIM JOY!? Omg sameeeeeee she was a fucking twat bagAnd the bread lion! Legit, best thing on bakeoff ever, Paul deserves a spot in faves purely for that alone!
I really agree, I hate people who play the victim card for sympathy votes. Noone gave a shit about her size, she's on a baking show! It's not remotely relevant, people didn't like her because of her horrible attitude and crap baking.Looking at this years contestants, I suspect that Lizzie could be this year's Kim Joy .....
Actually reading back my list, I think I hate Laura even more than Ian. She was a horrible bitter woman. I found her really nasty. She wasn't a talented baker but instead she made out that she was disliked because of her size. Bullshit. Mary Anne Boermans from series two was a larger lady than Laura, but she never once mentioned it, because she was a genuinely good baker and she didn't need an excuse.
I gave up after a few episodes last year, I just didn't like any of them so it was so boring lol.I'd forgotten about Kim Joyshe was so annoying! I didn't warm to any contestants last year really, and certainly not Peter who was just far too twee and cute for my liking. It was creepy
I forgot about Mat, the tall fireman. Yes he was nice.I loved James in series 3 with his lovely Aran jumpers, he was robbed! Mat and Tamal in Nadiya’s year I really liked too. Really liked Frances Quinn, she still has incredible creative ideas and her bakes are so beautiful.
So many of the later seasons blur into one, I’m struggling to remember names and faces. I also hated smug Ian (I remember getting so ragey because he kept saying he was making things that were ‘a bit risqué’ when he meant ‘risky’) and Kimberley the psychologist. There was also a vicar’s wife (Sarah Jane?) who I just found so twee and nicey-nicey.
