KevinStarting on the far right, we have Kevin.
Kevin is by far the most blandly dressed baker on display today, but I wouldnt count him out.
Middle of the pack, basically, because of the jeans.
MaxyStanding next to Kevin is the beautiful Maxy.
She also has a masters degree in architecture, meaning she has the brain for all the technical thingies.
TBH Maxy seems like a threat.
Penciling her in as a finalist.
DawnNext to Maxy is Dawn, and she seems fun.
She will also have the advantage of Prue admiring her glasses, which is likely a help.
JanuszStraddling the green chair is Janusz, and it is hard not to be wildly biased toward Janusz.
Janusz grew up in Poland and moved to the U.K. 10 years ago.
Rebs is a North Irish woman who is by far the trendiest dressed in the cast.
Some of her competitors grew up with their flavors!
We hope she sticks tothe flavors shes used to.
James also has Timberlands on, plus a shirt that clashes with his kilt pattern and a calf tattoo.
Seems like an early out after taking some too big swings.
His contestant bio reveals he is a nanny who loves to box, do ballet, and break-dance.
He also runs virtual baking classes for children with autism.Sigh.
WillWill is the arm-crosser next to Sandro.
Will seems like a nice guy to have around, right?
Arms crossed, leaning to the side, Wills just there to have a good time.
Unfortunately, Wills casualness appears a bit too casual.
The audience will tear up, but Will seems like an unlikely winner (based on one pose).
AbdulNext to Will is Abdul, and Abdul seems in it for the long haul.
Though the cast photo only shows his head, his smile is an absolute ray of sunshine.
That sounds like a giant boon in technical challenges and a pretty good strategy elsewhere.
Abdul is an early winner pick.
CaroleThen theres Carole, who is standing next to Abdul and also stands out in the crowd.
Most notable, of course, is Caroles purple hair, which is great.
The fact that Carole has a local radio segment about gardening called Compost Carole.
If we had to guess a first out, Compost Carole would be it.
MaisamTo Caroles right is Maisam, the token young person of the competition.
Though shes just 18, Maisam has a great, original flavor profile based on her Mediterranean roots.
Those flavors sound like they might be a welcome difference from other bakers typical barrage of fruits and chocolate.
Maisam could be a late-stage contender.
SyabiraLast but not least is Syabira.
Though there is more than a touch of utter terror in Syabiras eyes, her Malaysian-favorite flavors sound interesting.
