fiiiinally am watching the new Noel Fielding season

1. in love w Noel, obv. but that’s been true for going on 20 years now <3. i giggle like a teenager every time he’s on screen sigh hearteyes emoji 2. Pru is good! Maybe not quite as warm as Mez, but every bit as knowledgeable & her championing of Liam has been delightful to watch3. Sandi def a little more unknowable, but a nice foil for Noel & she’s growing on me4 Gawd these contestants are badasses, some of these bakes have been insanely hard & they all seem to step up pretty well. I died laughing when Kate tried to get her pizza off the peel into the oven and the cheese shot off to the back of the tray & the rest sort of all slid down blobby like a sea creature. And Stacey gorblimey she is a whirling dervish of a mess of a cook, she’s like Iain on crack but somehow not a total failure alwaysLove Sophie & Steve, killing it. Steve’s sandwich was UGH mazing. So wanted his glitter cranberry pie to be good, why u braek heart Steve whyyyyy 3 eps to go : D

Done!!Sophie - badass queen of everything, i want to eat her final cake & I am so glad to see her take the prizeKate - creativity pouring out of her pores, i want to live inside her final cake, she was adorableSteve - so many great bakes this season & sucj a creative guy. I was so bummed abt his final challenge, he shouldve been in the mix, it would have been amazing to have 3 incredible final bakes instead of 2!! but he faffed the timing, silly gooseLovely cast this year all round

She had me at “Former ballerina, soldier & stuntperson-in-training”
I thought she was annoying, then I loved her, then I hated her, then I decided I didn't care because it's a fucking baking show and she was pretty good at baking. I had the same reactions to Steve as well, so I'm kind of heartened that they're BFFs now. Also love that Julia, Yan and Flo are mates. Because this is the loveliest show, and it's lovely to see lovely people being lovely. (I am never usually this charitable about telly folk, but GBBO melts my heart and I love everything about it and everyone who sails in her. Except Paul Hollywood. He's a dick.)

Yeah the Yan & Julia & Flo roadtrip looked ace, super cute My husband had this look on his face every time Flo spoke: O_OI think the combination of either new veneers or dentures & that thick Liverpudlian accent rendered her nigh on incomprehensible for him, lol

It was a *great* contestant cast this year - better than last year I think - which made the other changes a lot more bearable.
Personally I enjoy watching Paul being Paul, and found Sophie very likeable, esp her disinclination for playing up to the camera when she won. Kinda the whole point of the show for me is uncritically enjoying it and getting wrapped up in the silliness.

Also I've never taken to Noel before but he was adorable in this
― Chuck_Tatum, Sunday, 26 November 2017 16:33 (six years ago) link
I'm two episodes into the nu-GBBO, and I can hardly understand anyone, especially Flo! The accents are off the charts. However, I do like the exoticness of Scouse.
The first episode where they slice into the watermelon cake is such a visceral moment!

They keep making jokes about Kate being single, and I'm like how is that possible? Even if she is this year's Captain Chaos.
Anyway, the semifinal! So heartbreaking.

Now that I've puttered in the kitchen a bit more, I'm wondering if GBBO is useful at all for regular home bakers?

I think it is good at inspiring confidence to try new things!

Whoa new season on Netflix! There's a Ruby 2.0!
I am sad at the first elimination because it means one less charming accent.
― I Got Stopped By a Lady Cop on my Automobileee (Leee), Wednesday, 14 November 2018 14:03 (five years ago) link
And I'm not wholly on board with the new hosts but Noel's method acting but was hilarious.
― I Got Stopped By a Lady Cop on my Automobileee (Leee), Wednesday, 14 November 2018 14:05 (five years ago) link
That season has just finished over here (if by Ruby 2.0 you mean another contestant called Ruby). Hurry up and watch the whole thing so I have someone to talk about it with, apart from everyone I've already talked to about it.
― ailsa, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 15:42 (five years ago) link
Yes, another contestant named a Ruby.
The first Showstopper had some damned impressive likenesses!

semi final kind of annoyed meFIVE hour technical then a full-on 3 hour showstopper ...all four of them looked beside themselves at the end. I think the baking suffered a but just because they were so exhausted! I do enjoy these new seasons & I love Noel and Sandy, but at times I really do miss Mary’s kindness as the patron saint of amatuer homebakers in the judging. Pru & Paul can be an awfully cold tag-team when they start sticking the boot in.

i need a wiki on Rahul’s entire life story. I would like a sitcom of Rahul & Noel living together odd-couple style. and i want to bottle the moment when Sandy kisses Rahul on the cheek & the forehead after the glass exploded <3
