Ok I’ve decided to start your British baking show for the first time and aren’t two of these people from an Adult Swim show?
Also I’m picking up that not everyone on the show is queer which...*does* feel like a betrayal I will say
So like...is there a reason they’re in a tent???
So...how does one grow gracefully old and become a baking show judge? Is that like...just an option we can pick?
Wait do British people call cake “sponge”?????? IS THAT A THING?
SHE SLAPPED THAT MAN’S CAKES TO THE GROUND NOOOO
So Peter who you all kept tweeting “twink” about
This man is making a Blink-182 cake and I feel @HexPositive and @othermiike in the room at this moment. Also...this man is making a Blink-182 cake
NOT THIS LUPITA. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. WHAT
So...are these adult swim dudes famous in England? What...why are they here?
The like...gentle weaving of covid reality into this show in a way that doesn’t feel forced is really lovely but also stressing me out lol
The way they talked about Rowan and his grandmother and his garden and his antiques they could’ve just blasted Elton John over that segment
It feels like there are 27 challenges per episode??? Or...have I had too much wine?
Peter: *bakes something*
Everyone else: I want that twink destroyed.
Everyone else: I want that twink destroyed.
I need...every single one of Prue’s outfits???? Every single one.
Lottie’s like...cool girl cynically panicking is actually how I want to perceived at all times. Just like...am I panicking? Yes. BUT! Am I incredibly cool? Also yes and more important than the first part.
(I will say that alternating between this show and Nailed It is...really giving me the boost of serotonin I needed this weekend)
Getting rid of Sura this early isn’t racist but it FEELS racist.
Prue’s compliments are all like: “it was quite bad. QUITE bad. Confusing choices. But flavorful. Good job.”
The grace with which these folks accept losing is so...idk heartening? Like, with a president who can’t accept democracy these bakers being like, “this was the greatest experience of my life and I’m grateful” and then congratulating their competitors is just really nice
Were I on a baking show and someone asked me to work with white chocolate I think at this point I know enough to simply leave
“E.T. is definitely on grindr” is not a sentence I expected to hear on the baking show lmao
I still don’t get the tent! And it seems to make things much harder because they keep having to contend with literal weather???
They had these people OUTSIDE deep frying things and trying to make ice cream on a 100 degree day???? I’m officially against the tent. I’m a tent abolitionist. Defund the tent.
If the final is anyone other than Peter and Hermine then unfortunately I will not be watching anymore seasons of this show.
Crying about other people receiving praise about baked goods was not an emotional development I expected from this year but here we are
Also everyone keeps tweeting at me to watch a different season but like...I’m fine???? Like I’m having fun y’all. Chill. Thank youuuuu
Peter looks like he’s about to cry at ANY moment during any judging moment and like...what a relatable quality for this year
My favorite thing about Laura is she starts EVERY challenge promising precision and care before making the sloppiest nightmare thing and that is also incredibly relatable
I also love that every single time Prue talks to her she’s like “Laura. This is hideous. So ugly. Brave choice. Horrific. Love the flavor. I’m *so* disappointed.” Like...what do you do with that feedback????
Ok cutting hermine IS racist
