I'm only a day behind this time, and I've a feeling I know who got star baker from following lots of them on twitter,

I love the look on Cathryn's face every episode is great, she really doesn't look impressed. I've warmed to her, I'm sure I'll see her cook book on family baking adoring a shelf in sainsbury's this time next year.
I think it's only Ryan and Brendan I don't like. I'm sure they're lovely really.
I don't imagine one of my faves, Sarah Jane will make it through, I do hope Ryan doesn't make it though either, but that's personal really.I don't think John will make it either, hich will be a shame.
Signature - buns. Another yeast bread thingy. I really don't do bread stuff. Well, I like eating them but I've no desire to run off and do these. They all look amazing though.
Technical challenge- ooooh, doughnuts. I have made them, well, not with jam in them, I made beignets last year for the students when I themed lesson around Mardi gras, but they weren't jam filled. Smaller doughnuts are much easier to deal with.
Show stopper - festive celebration breads, another one I've not done, well, I have made 12th night bread/ cake. In fact, unless it's been for a specific thing, I don't know anyone who attempts one of these at Christmas. Maybe I should.
...
So, I was right on both the star baker, Dannie, well deserved I think. And it's not surprising to see Sarah Jane go, but she does seem lovely. I hope she continues to be on telly etc. I'm now also rather hoping Cathryn might win, or at least a runner up.
Biscuits next week, having just followed a recipe to the letter and m still sure they were under baked I'm just glad that's not me.
