Sorry to see Rowan go last week.
I love the show at the start of the series when there are a few bakers who due to whatever reasons are prone to making mistakes. Rowan was was of those type of folks, too ambitious, not good with timings but at the same time with a wicked sense of humour and could laugh at himself.
I lose interest towards the end of the series (though still watch it) when only the good bakers are left - those I can't really relate to on a baking level. Rowan, on the other hand, is someone I really could relate to, someone I could have round to my house for a cup of tea and a slice of my homemade, less than perfect, cakes :-)
