It is interesting to see the different types of bakes, however. I'd never heard of an angel food cake until last night.
I hadn't either. I enjoy learning the technical side of baking and really enjoyed Paul Hollywood's 6 episode series on breads on BBC2 earlier this year, and again with GBBO I like seeing the different kinds of baked items I, in some cases, didn't even know existed. I didn't know you could make a cake purely from eggs whites and if you'd told me that before last night I'd have thought you were winding me up, but then they did it and it actually looked really nice.What I don't get is are they allowed to practice the receipes or not?
Last epsiode someone had said they practiced breadsticks a lot and someone had bought with them a prepared box so they obviously knew what they would be making, Whereas at other times they make out liek its a complete surprise.
I guess its a mixture of being told and being surprised o nthe day?

Everything that the contestants do which isn't a suprise (basically the technical challenge) has to be submitted in advance, so everyone knows who's doing what all the way through.
Also all the contestants must submit original recipes for every stage of competition prior to the start of filming. The chap who went out week one had to plan and write recipes for every round including the final.
Oh, and they must be original so they can packaged in the companion book.
