As the Great British Bake Off tent was rocked by a double elimination last night, Vanquis have been analysing conversation on Twitter to see which contestants we love, which we hate and which we just can’t stop talking about – https://www.vanquis.co.uk/
Who are the most popular contestants?
Steph, who was crowned Star Baker for the second week in a row, is the nation’s favourite contestant, with 85% of tweets about the Chester-born shop assistant being positive. Self-proclaimed bread expert David comes in a close second, with 80.6% of tweets about him being positive.
Here are the 5 most popular contestants:

Priya, who narrowly avoided going home this week, is the UK’s least favourite contestant, with a whopping 71.2% of tweets about her being negative. Rosie, who suffered a nightmare when she dropped one of her pies, is the second least favourite, with 46.9% of tweets about her being negative.
Here are the 5 least popular contestants:

If the public could vote, who would win?
While the final decision on who stays and who goes falls to Paul and Prue, we all have our own opinions on who deserves to win. But what would actually happen if the public could vote? By taking the total amount of contestant mentions and weighing this against net viewer sentiment, Vanquis have calculated who the British public would choose to win.
If it was up to the Great British public, Michael would be crowned the winner, with a score of 80/100!
