I really like Anna but to be fair she should have gone last night. She came last in the pattern challenge and then that made measure was a disaster. Yes it was ambitious but it couldn't be done in the time allowed., and isn't that the point?

Beth deserves to win. I would be disappointed if Anna wins now. I think both Esme and Patrick have a soft spot for Anna.

For purely curious reasons, has Anna ever said anything about the scar on her neck? It looks quite recent. I think it looks like she's had her thyroid removed.

I agree. I really like Beth, but for weeks now I've felt like Anna was chosen early as series winner regardless of her output in the challenges. I hope I'm wrong.

Oh I disagree with who went out.
I think Esme shows blatant favouritism toward one contestant,
who though very good, has recently continually overstretched herself and made quite bad errors.
They can't keep saying 'oh but she shows so much ambition' when she keeps failing to execute it half way decently.
Agree - I said to Mr Mice "They want to keep Anna in, and it isn't fair"

They admitted that Heather's dress was much better made - but Anna had n=been more ambitious - how many times have we heard them say "Oh - they were too ambitious. It's better to make something simpler and finish it well than have some wildly creative idea you can't complete."

I was very annoyed on Heather's behalf.

Apparently it is a birthmark - personally I thought it looked like an emergency tracheotomy scar. If it was a severe emergency and she'd been at risk of choking/suffocation, it would explain it being so high because they'd have to go in quickly without worrying about how it looked.

Thyroid scars tend to be much lower - they cut on the "necklace line" at the base of the throat because the scar largely gets lost in natural neck creases and it gives a better cosmetic result.

In the interests of full disclosure I'm not a doctor, but used to work closely with an endocrine surgeon umpteen years ago.

I feel the same. Last week, I thought it was particularly obvious that no matter what flaws there are in her work, they will say oh but... and nitpick someone else for something smaller. I like all four who were left last week - have to watch last night's yet - I think Beth would be the more deserving winner. But can see them picking Anna.

I like Beth, too. She's less flamboyant than Anna, but I think her work is much better.
