I’m still stinging from Steph’s loss two years ago. Star Baker for pretty much every episode, but one bad bake loses it for her, while the winner was uneven all season? I mean, that’s just fucked up. This season, though, anything goes. They’re all amazing. Everyone deserves to win. 

I honestly can’t think of a single season where I wanted everyone to win. And as a recapper, this season has been a blessing. So much material to work with! 

He’s like a German Winnie the Pooh. They could make plush toys out of him. 

You act like Chiggs isn’t a brown person. The English hate brown people from the Indian diaspora most of all. 

“I know he doesn’t like this ingredient, but I’m going to make it my own and Hollywood will relent because of my delicious transformation of it” is exactly what I would have done in my 20s-30s. I loved the color, but.

Honestly my main problem with him is it seems like he and Noel kind of enable each other, instead of having a co-host who is like *rein it in, Noel.* My friend thinks he doesn’t manage to balance being jokey/warm.

What a strong fucking cast this season. We’re completely spoiled. Jürgen was so sweet to the other bakers and I’ll miss him, but I do feel like it makes sense even though Paul was being extra dipshit. The technical felt like everyone did kind of bad, Jürgen was just least bad.

Can someone explain to me the current explosion of think pieces about how Matt Lucas is everything that’s wrong with Bake Off? I’m relatively indifferent to him, but he’s fine. I don’t get the idea that he is somehow awful and sometimes he’s just as sweet as any of the other hosts have been (and no more biting). I

Agreed! The verdict and the pointed snubs to Jurgen were ridiculous. I think Paul feels threatened by Jurgipops.

You know, I usually can suspend my disbelief in Bake Off. I know the main priority is to make a TV show and series, and so certain things have to happen so the producers can tell the stories they want. But for the most part I can believe the judges are making real, in-the-moment decisions and truly describing what

Did the editors remove key evidence that would have made this judging decision make sense?! Jurgen came in first in the technical, and the only thing the judges faulted him on in the showstopper was (checks notes) the color of his entremet boats? Which they wanted more piping on? His display was much more arresting

I was going to feel bad about whoever went home! This season has had the biggest number of bakers I liked in the tent, I think.

I was hoping that in the final it would be between the three types of people the english hate most, a German, an Italian, and a woman.

I live on NOLA, every third person was dressed up as a character from Squid Game—kids, dogs, etc. popular tv is just that- not really a “rich people” thing

Tiegen’s particular brand of “I’m normal!” is beyond irritating, but sooooo many people were in Squid Game costumes for Halloween this year.

Those poor fictional characters! I can’t imagine how their nonexistent hearts must be breaking over seeing this!

There are many things one could criticize Teigen for, but throwing a party themed around the biggest television show of the year is not one of them.

Now playing

Lethal Weapon 5? I believe the next entry in the series is number 7.

Even forgetting about Gibson’s transgressions, he’s 65. Glover is 75. It’s no longer a joke that they’re too old for this shit.

For the love of God, someone please cancel me.  I’ve been unemployed for two years.
