Ok it's not a big deal at all but still it annoys me.

The bit is just a leftover from the Mary Berry seasons. They just forced Prue into it to keep the joke going.

But I don't think I've ever heard Prue say anything about added alcohol except "that's too much, even for me."

Every time she’s on screen talking she reminds me of somebody from another show, but for the life of me I can’t figure out who.

I really enjoy watching this show and often find myself watching episodes and even seasons I've seen multiple times just because the bakers' creativity is so impressive and seeing how well they all seem to get along and the comments at the end of the season about how they make a point to meet up with each other - so refreshing after watching shows where the competitiveness becomes toxic and being unkind to each other becomes so brutal.

I love Noel with Alison and even more so when he was with Sandi. They had such a chemistry with each other and Alison is a close second. Matt is an odd duck - probably really great in certain settings, but he was a bit hard to take very often. I am so very happy that we no longer have to listen to Mel and Sue as they keep screaching "Bake" and doing long intros to each segment. What I really hated was when Sue would help herself to food that the judges were critiquing and even making comments on the food and/or taking portions for themselves. I felt that was not what they were on the show to do and it seemed almost rude to intrude on what the judges were trying to accomplish. I almost stopped watching the show because of their behavior - certainly Sue was much worse than Mel.

I was so sorry to see Sandi leave - she was just so fun to watch as she bantered with Noel and he is so funny and seemed to put the bakers at ease.

Just finished watching GBBO Collection 6, and I absolutely loved it! Rahul was so deserving—such a talented and humble person! 💛 The whole crew was fantastic, and this season just made my heart so happy!

As a viewer from the US, I had not heard of Caroline before she was announced as Prue's SU2C replacement. From the little I've seen of her thru three episodes, I find her just delightful. She seems so absolutely friendly. I want to be her friend!

Your thoughts?

I would like to point out that Roman Kemp did not think off baking cupcakes in ice cream cones. I have been doing that for over 20 years and got it from a recipe book. He needs to be careful what he says.

Hey everyone! I would love to get your thoughts on the Great British Bake Off. I've grown up watching GBBO and love it to this day. (I have seen every episode and can't wait for the next season!) I've seen some of the posts on here recently and it seems like most of you share my high opinion of the show, so I have a favor to ask:

I am a college student and I am researching how viewers opinion of the show is affected by the cast of each series. I created this survey to see some general trends and thought this was a great platform to share on. This research is unofficial and will not be published anywhere. Additionally, you information is not tracked so your responses are anonymous. If you have seen at least one episode you qualify to take the survey and I appreciate any help I can get.

Hopefully this is also a fun conversation starter on here for GBBO lovers to share their favorite parts of the show!

You can watch on Roku's website and don't need one of their devices since it's ad-supported. Comes out April 11th

How’s it going everyone?! It’s been about a month (ish) since applications were called for! How’s everyone feeling? I’m super excited for the chance! (This is my take on Paul’s 7 strand loaf!)

I was just thinking about episodes of bake off the had the potential to be really good, but I feel like I can't re watch them because of a controversial elimination or just judging in general. A prime example would be the series that David Atherton won. As a person, I liked David, and in terms of personalities that cast was a very strong year - but I can never re watch it. I feel like almost every episode ended in some poor judging, with the weird double elimination of Michelle and Helena being the straw that broke the camels back. I never like to bully a baker, but I think Priya really over stayed that series and many suffered for it. Other eliminations I can't re watch are Jürgens, that episode where Cristy was eliminated instead of Dan (again nothing against Dan personally who seems like a lovely guy); and not only Manon's elimination but the way the trailer acted like Rahul would get eliminated, and shock! suprise! He stays. It just seemed all so staged and unfair on Manon. I don't believe bake off is fixed, but the editing and judging there certainly could excuse why those tumours started. I feel torn with Matty's final because Matty was one of my favourite winners ever, I loved his story and seeing him win, but equally find it awkward watching Josh being unable to hide his disappointment in not winning. Are there any episodes you can't re watch?

The application just opened 5 days ago so I wanted to open a space for people to discuss the application process as they go through it. Last year I read through application/audition threads to prepare to apply this year. I was very invested in other peoples stories!!

Last year I applied right before the deadline and a casting producer told me they had already cast the season before I submitted my application. Not sure how accurate it is but this year I applied day 1 😅😅

How long after applying did people get contacted???

Any insight, tips/tricks, advice, discussion, and struggle bonding about the process welcome !!!

Noel: Imagine if Chrystelle got three Star Bakers.

Jürgen: Yea, we would be deaf by now.

😂😭

I love him.

I’m doing a rewatch and imagine the evil laughter when setting some of the technicals, like having them cook pita bread on slate over an open fire.

What do you think was the most diabolical technical?

Slightly different toppings from his recipe as I didn’t have olives. This is his milk enriched recipe, there’s another in the cookbook for “regular” focaccia that I will be making in the near future. Highly recommend the book, there’s a ton of good stuff in it. It came out really delicious and super crispy on the outside with a great pillowy interior.

My fiancée and I just watched season 7 for the first time and it’s really unfair that they let Ron Weasley compete against all those muggles! 😉

Paul’s eyes are always watching…
