Could Twitter hold the key to predicting the winner of this year’s Great British Bake Off? Vanquis have been analysing every tweet sent about this year’s contestants, and successfully predicted the results of Dessert Week, which saw Priya sent home and Steph crowned Star Baker – https://www.vanquis.co.uk/great-british-bake-off-favourites
Steph, who won Star Baker for the third week running, has proved popular not just with Paul and Prue, but with viewers too. 84% of the tweets viewers have posted about the Cheshire-born shopkeeper have been positive.
At the other end of the scale, Priya has been much less popular, with 69% of tweets about her being negative. Many saw her eviction as overdue, with viewers angry that she survived last week, which saw Michelle and Helena sent home in a shock double elimination.
So, could Twitter predict who the next Star Baker will be and who’ll be leaving next? Here are the nation’s current favourite and least favourite contestants:
Who are the most popular contestants?
- Steph – 84% positive tweets
- David – 80% positive tweets
- Alice – 74.2% positive tweets
Who are the least popular contestants?
