Why Nadiya? Well, there are many great bakers on Bake Off, and any of them might win this year's series.


And Ian (above left) is tipped to win having won Star Baker so many bloody times.
And this series has included some great characters who deserve this title, but many have sadly left.



RIP the feeling in your stomach when Dorret presented a bake, Paul wouldn't stop criticising it, and all you saw was Dorret's facial expression.
So why is Nadiya the one that stands out? It's not just because of her facial expressions, which are epic.

And look how many faces you see in just seconds.
It's also because she's always so supremely upbeat.

Seriously. All the time.
She's always so fiercely determined.

Never will you hear more of an honest contestant.

When she gets it wrong we all defend her.

NADIYA YOUR CAKE IS AS HARD AS YOU DIAMOND WOMAN #GBBO
She doesn't even boast much when it goes right.

She didn't give a shit when Sue sabotaged her biscuit by accident, when other contestants probably would.

YOU TELL HER, NADIYA.
And she's said the best sexual innuendo so far.

I've scoured all my notes (I make a note of every single time that a sexual innuendo is dropped on this show because I have no friends) and this is the best one.
And just look at her Showstopper bakes so far.

We lose our shit when we just successfully bake a Victoria sponge.
Not forgetting Paul and Mary's reviews of her bakes.

Yes, there's some criticism by them in there, but they are usually positive comments, and it always happens when Nadiya thinks that she's blown it and will go home.
And sometimes she's so ambitious you can barely imagine what she's about to make for us all.
And look at her face when she presented it.

And when she got Star Baker in this week's Bake Off, she was really emotional at the end of the episode.

And her husband was proud.
I am the proudest husband on the planet tonight. Maybe now you can believe in yourself Nadiya like I believe in you! #gbbo #BegumNadiya
And we're really proud of you too, Nadiya.
