Since I don't know anything about baking, a little game I like to pay when they're talking about creme pats is to guess what the contestants' accents are. Flora sounded like Kelly Macdonald once, she must be Scottish! Paul Jagger doesn't sound Irish, so... Welsh? Ian is from London, he could be on the BBC.

LOL Welsh people do not sound Irish.

Never seen a reference to him being religious, let alone evangelical - where does that come from?
Anyway - I like Paul. Away from Bakeoff, he's certainly the least interesting of the four hosts, but he's very watchable on the show, and to label him as the "nasty judge" of course underrates Mary's considerable expertise (and, often, relish) at driving the knife in.

The best was when Nancy called him "the male judge" lol.

That was hilarious

For me, Welsh is just the box of "other accents" that encompasses anything that I can't otherwise pin down (not that I'm good at it in any case). Although I do try to apply the "Does this person sound like Gwen from Torchwood?" test, too.

lol that is exactly my litmus test

The Christianity thing was mentioned on Who Do You Think You Are? when he did an episode.

John Cale on "The Gift" is even better.

Flora's wee scottish accent was so adorable. her terrible time management made me want to shake her <3
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 4 April 2017 01:27 (seven years ago) link
That first episode where Flora forgot to preheat hey oven, I was all, "Martha wouldn't have made that mistake," but now she's definitely won me over with her silly faces.

We referred to Matt the Fireman as Matt the Mod throughout.
Paul being evangelical makes perfect sense given the arrogance and rock-solid conviction of his own rightness (and righteousness, apparently) but I would never have guessed. I actually assumed he was gay, idk why.

good thing he didn't let his committed christianity get in the way of extra-maritally pumping his co-host on some american baking show or we'd have no surefire way of assessing his sexuality

When Scottish Norman referred to Paul as "Mr. Hollywood," I thought he was remarking on Paul's fake tan and the likelihood of selling out, not that his actual last name was Hollywood.

Yeah, yr gaydar must be in need of serious tweaking if you had any doubts about the Wolf of Wallasey.
― Bill Teeters (Tom D.), Tuesday, 4 April 2017 19:44 (seven years ago) link
xpost yeah I thought it was some show-offy stage name from the get go, I ended up looking him up online to find out if that was REALLY his actual name
Growing up with a name like that, no wonder he's kind of a wanker imo
I mean there's worse names but still, it's so dumb

However he has now poisoned any household discussion of bread in our house
We bought a loaf of crappy french bread from the supermarket and Mr Veg inspected a slice, pointed at a big airbubble and said 'it's overwehhhked'

and he doesn't even sit down and watch the show - he's just picked that up from wandering in and out while I'm bingewatching

as long as he doesn't start overgelling his hair and tucking shirts into dad jeans you should be okay
