The Great British Bake Off. - Fuck off, it's comfy as Hell

[CWCissey]

So this is back tonight (and is going to be a great distraction for whatever horrible shit Boris is going to push through in the name of anti-coof wankery) and we don't seem to have a thread where we can discuss a different kind of soggy bottom, so why not? Let's see if we can pick out potential winners, dark horses and clear producer faves while being terribly middle class.

Feel free to share food porn and recipes if you fancy and inb4 Yankees splurting tired phrases.

Was this show ever good? I like me some fucking cake but I specifically recall the BBC airing this in their second woke wave to try and get the blackest most third world people on and label them "quintessentially British".

My wife loves this show and she heard about it from her sisters.
Surprise surprise they all also love Downton Abbey too.
It has its audience.

Downton Abbey can be tolerable (I thought the movie was great) and Bake-off was good while it was on the BBC, but now it's so much weaker without Berry.
Top Gear between the first episode James May was on right till the Patagonia Special will probably never be beaten for me as the best TV I've ever seen, full stop. The car reviews, the trips, the scripted weirdness, the lot.

Someone has seriously made a fucking Happy Merchant cake...

My folks love this show. Never really sat down to watch it myself, but it makes me hungry just glancing at it. The cakes look fucking delicious.

I think Sura is the producer favourite this year. They always favour hijabi women.

Total sabotage knocking Dave's cakes on the floor though.

Why does it always seem like they need to include a Muslim within the bakers now?

Blame Nadia Hussein. She made it big, now every series has a hijabi baker in the hopes they will capture lightning in a bottle a second time.

They should have focused on that dude who baked amazingly but decorated like shit last season. Lord knows people like a trier.
