The Great British Bake Off season 15 aired its season finale on Tuesday, November 26, 2024. The segment saw the top 3— Christiaan, Dylan, and Georgie— compete to become the ultimate Star Baker. After competing in the season's finale Signature Bake, Technical Challenge, and Showstopper, Georgie emerged victorious.

During the first challenge of the night, the contestants had to bake 24 scones, 12 sweet and 12 savory. This was followed by a tea display, including lemon sandwich cakes, strawberry tarts, played eggs, and cress rolls. During the Showstopper, they had to make a "hanging cake," with three tiers and two fillings.

After the winner was revealed, fans of the baking competition took to social media to react to the verdict. While some praised Georgie's victory, others felt Christiaan should have been the winner of The Great British Bake Off.

"Christiaan was robbed!! He should have won," one person wrote on X:
"Christiaan was the only one that didn't have a single melt down and never asked for anyone's help. He was also always pushing for something different, instead of sticking to the same old, boring flavours you've seen time and time again," a fan commented.
"Christiaan should have been the winner IMO, he was the best in the signature & technical rounds & they were just searching for a problem in the showstopper," a tweet read.

Fans of The Great British Bake Off season 15 felt the contestant was "robbed" of his victory:

"Christiaan was robbed, Bake Off this year has been letting me down since Mike left," a person wrote.
"Knew after that, that Dylan wouldn't win, but... surely it should have been Christiaan?? He was great throughout the episode, Georgie did 1 good one??? He was far better throughout as well. Once again, proving the only thing that matters is the last showstopper," a fan commented.
"Christiaan should have won that!!!! (And I'm a Dylan fan) #GBBO More snowflake tick boxing," a tweet read.

Fans of The Great British Bake Off season 15 further said:

"Christiaan has got to be one of the calmest bakers ever in the tent. At the moment, he absolutely deserves to take the win," a person wrote.
"Georgie did not deserve to win imo. Should’ve been christiaan or Dylan 100%," a fan commented.
