Watch What Crappens - GreatBritishBakingShow: Bake Cake or Bust

Episode Date: October 1, 2020

You can't have your cake and eat it too. But you can knock it over. For the first time ever we're tackling The Great British Baking Show (aka the Great British Bake Off aka GBBO on the other side of the pond), and we're kicking off "Collection 8" on Netflix today with Cake Week! The contestants must make Battenbergs, miniature upside-down pineapple cakes, and finally, sponges wrapped in fondant and shaped to be celebrities. It's a disaster. But a thoroughly polite one. Don't just listen to us, watch us too!

I'm Ben Mandelker of the Game Brain cartoon parody of the real house wise of New York, and joining me in his beautiful tie-dye shirt and his beautiful, beautiful

brown chair. It's Ronnie Caram. What's going on, Ronnie? Hi, Ben. I'm a squeaky brown chair today, everybody. It's nice. It's really nice chair. I like it a lot.

Much nicer than my generic black IKEA chair. I'm not going to shame anybody's chairs. Chairs do the most important work in the world, guys. They really do. They do a lot, although some chairs are really not very good. And I'm like, you do the most important thing. Why are you not doing your job right now? Any chairs better than no chair, okay?

Any chairs or winners in my book? Any chair will do, except maybe an electric chair. So the reason why we are able to comment on this. Sometimes even those are helpful. This world. Let's talk about the death penalty when we're about to talk about the Swedish show ever invented.

Okay. Well, let me tell you something, the Swedish show, but guess what's gonna kill us all at the end of the day? Kakes, okay? So we are talking great British bake off today and if you want to have an even larger crap and experience, you don't have to just listen to this recap. You can watch us, you can see us and our chairs.

So here we are, the great British baking soda. slash watch what crop bombs are. Da. So here we are, the great British baking show. Now this is a show everybody has probably watched

at least once on Yoll Netflix, because it's really comforting. I mean, it's not as comforting as benching on cake. Tell you that. But it is comforting. And it's just so lovely. And I watch it all the time. I really love this show. I haven't watched it in a long time but we saw that it was coming back right

when we had a hole in our schedule and we thought, well, Jimmy Lee Cricket. Yeah, like custard filling a donut. Why not we just put that great British baking show right on our schedule. I love, love, love this show. I've always loved it since I started watching a few years ago. I'm surprised that I love it despite the various cast changes that they've had. I mean, you know, we all remember the Mary Berry days. Yes. And the former hostesses whose names I can't sue,

and I forget their names actually right now. But it's a great show. And what's great about it is that really so much of the suspense comes from just how's shit gonna turn out. It's not about like being caddy, it's not about like hydrometer, it's just like, here's a fussy British person, no like putting something in a little latent to the oven and the world's about to collapse. Now as far as the cat's changing is, I kept watching and they're releasing this one episode a

week, which is different, you know, it's nice, it's not all at one time, at least for us, it's nice. So after the first one they went back to, they were showing a preview for another season and Mary Barry was on there. And wow, I mean the energy level has really changed and it made me really appreciate that they're

not American, you know, duh, obviously, but me really appreciate that they're not American, you know, dumb, obviously, but they don't, they're not like, you know what, let's go from a super energetic lady to an even younger, more energetic lady. They're like, no, get someone who's probably going to be dead in about two years because of diabetes because you get so much goddamn sugar and talks really slowly and does not give a crap about like speeding to show up at all because this crew lady is just like I love I've waited 18 or years she was like a grand

Titanic yeah she's 18 or years the crew is great and actually what's so nice is if you compare this show to any crappy baking show on the Food Network, it's just like, it's such a world difference. The Food Network is just full of all these annoying audio cuts and stupid drama and stupid judges.

I mean, they're probably very capable judges, but it just presented, they're presented like idiots, you know? And here it's like, you feel like there's a smart, professional cake boss. Cake boss, cake boss, like a crazy, like a miracle. Cake boss.

It's had a crazy accident over the weekend. Did you hear about the cake boss's accident? No, and of course I'm disinkake, when, no, so you're gonna discake boss. Like when would I ever think to disfucking cake boss of all people? And of course, he just had a terrible accident. No, I started reading the article and I actually had to stop because so he has a bowling alley in his

Of course he does of course fucking cake He has a bowling alley in his basement or something like that and the Some pin got stuck or whatever in the machine. So he went to dislodge Pin and it grabbed his arm and it like oh Bowling alley tragedy I would grew up and what I guess the bowling pin machine and that's an old school bowling pin machine If it does that sit to you those things are not fucking around okay, they will kill your ass. Yeah, he I mean I think he's okay. I think he I think ultimately he wanted to break me a finger, but like I started to get it. I started reading words like crush and no, don't go to the pin machine.

I'm like, I'll fix it. I'm like marching down the aisle there. No, I don't know. Well, I'll tell you something. Some of the cakes in this episode look like they've been to a pin resetter machine. They have a very difficult, I mean, the level of difficulty on this show is just incredible. Also, God, it's lovely just seeing big people, you know? I mean, it's how I feel every time I come back home to Texas from really anywhere else.

I just feel like, thank God, I'm not the biggest one here. You know, like we're all complaining about our seats on the plane and it's like fine. And I thought, look, these people don't like go to bed every night reading the fasting subreddit. Like they're not doing that. They're fine. They're happy. They go to work every day.

It's like, who cares? I'm fat, so I'm just gonna move slower. I need some fucking cake. How about that, fucker? Have you tried Viking Death Metal? I hear it's great to have one, too. So the, so this season, so we're by way, we are starting collection eight. If you're listening to this at some

point in the future, it's collection eight on Netflix. Just trust Netflix collection eight because there's all sorts of different videos and graces or whatever. But so Sandy, who had been our previous host, along with Noal, who still there, Sandy has left, which makes me sad because I loved Sandy. I loved how like starting with episode five she was starting to cry anytime she had to eliminate someone. I loved loved loved Sandy but she's gone and so now we have Matt Lucas who I guess is he from Little Britain is that what someone told me that one my friend Katie told me. He was also in bridesmaids. I think he was like that creepy guy with Rebel Wilson who were like, we'd like to invite you to stop living with us.

He could be anything. He's kind of like a big wee character, you know, like, whatever they call those wee memes or whatever they are. Yeah, I like him. I thought I was going to hate him because he's very like, look, I'm wacky. Yeah. I'm going to say wacky thing and have a rolling pin on me Hey, and I'm like I'm like he has a rolling pin on his head like it works for me. I like it

Yeah, I I I agree I don't love him though. I think I would have actually liked a Woman I would have liked a woman. I think there's like, when these people... Well, that's a first. I think that when these people, sometimes they get really panicked. Like, one thing that's really endearing about the show is that the hosts have this unique role and that they sort of come in and they comfort and they help. It's not to say that Matt can't do that,

but I actually have really enjoyed that female energy that happens in those situations. Even on the American version, when Neavardolus was doing it, and she would come in and help out. I was like, I was down for Neavardolus. So I like Matt, but I would have liked a woman, even more. I think, I think, it's really.

Well, I think that that's rude. Guess what, Matt can help it. It's just Matt. Matt can help it if he loves balancing things on his head. Yeah, he can't help it. And I like him because, look, what do you think we have? We're chubby bald guys, okay?

I'm into it. I'm totally the kind of person to put a rolling pin on my head for a laugh. And I support it. You know, I support any of my tribe getting work. Yeah. Okay. So fuck off. You know, Bartolus. Well, she wasn't asked back. So actually really liked her. I like her too. It was her and her husband, but they were, I don't know, the American version sort of weird. It's pretty good,

but it's not quite the same. I tried it two times, and I was like, mm-hmm, not the same. I mean, great. Good job getting a tent to film in, but otherwise, nothing else is the same. Yeah, I think they went to the tent in England, but I'm not sure. It felt like it. It looked like it. It seemed like it. I don't know.

I like that they had to show a yard on it, because she's like really huge. But yeah, anyway, British. British energy is where we're at today. And are you ready to dive into this? Yeah, this is gonna be a 10 hour recap. We both wrote notes, I think, for three days. That's what's happening.

There's so much happening. It was so much happening. But it was also, by the way, one of the funniest episodes, I feel like I've ever seen a great British pick up, because that showstopper challenge was ridiculous. Like that, they were basically just like, they were just like, punking those contestants with that challenge.

It was, it was a horror. So Boris Johnson, we get a Boris Johnson skit to open with, with my little twin over there and that's kind of cute. And then we just jump into, I don't really get any, I barely get our politics, so I was like, oh, I guess Boris Johnson stutters a lot. Yeah, I don't know. I think the part that made me laugh about that

was that when he took a question from Noel, and he said, I believe we have a question from the lady in the funky dress. That was me. That was me. Adam Lambert. Yeah. So yeah, here we go. So we start seeing all the contests, all the beckas, and Sura, who we find out a Sura

later, she's a huge muzzle lady who's got an attitude on her, which I love. I love her attitude. And she sort of has this, like, she reminded me of Streganona. You know, she sort of like, Streganona, remember that book of Streganona. She's sort of like, Streganona, remember that book? Streganona, I feel like I mentioned it once a year, about the, she's like this Italian grandma who has a magic cauldron that makes pasta and then she goes out of town for a weekend

and her grandson abuses the cauldron and pasta keeps flowing out of it and overwhelms the town. So just like her body shape, and I'm not saying the same sort of shameful way, but it was actually like something like very adorable about her. I was like, oh, Surah, but then she has this like, the huge attitude, the entire episode. I know. I love it. And she's my son hilarious attitude. Yeah, it's not like total. It's like she knows she's being a bitch. And I love it. Yeah. Uh, so she's like, my husband said like she knows she's being a bitch and I love it

So she's like my husband said why don't you go on and I said I'm not gonna get in. I'm not gonna get in Well, I don't want to get in Yeah, and why would I want to get in that stupid competition with cakes you Stupid cakes This year's bakers are going to be part of something special and Nigel who's like our older queen in a vest is like 2020 seemed momentous and I thought it's time. I don't think he's got this row where he looks like he's about to cry. Have you noticed? Yeah.

He's like, or Rowan Rowan. Rowan, yeah. He has Nigel energy. He does. He does have Nigel energy. I wrote down Nigel a little hot, but yeah, his name is Rowan Rowan Rowan, yeah, he has Nigel energy. He does he does have Nigel energy. I wrote down Nigel a lot But yeah, his name is Rowan because if you saw him on the street, you'd think he would be a Nigel Yeah, it's for sure But he's like one of those what like pocket watch, you know, this like chain to his his belt

He's got it like his best and it's like chain to his belt. You know that like on a Saturday afternoon like five o'clock on a Saturday He puts on like a living in John and drinks a martini with his partner. So, I'm used to that thing. So then we, so basically, one of the narrators, by the way, I can never tell which narrators, which hosts the speaking, because they both have like male British voices.

So I just am like the narrator. He's there saying how like it's 2020, so therefore they have to make some changes, et cetera. And then we see a young guy, Peter, who's like, it's unbelievable. I'm living in a wee bake off village, in a wee bake off town. That's a wee unbelievable,

which is like the most British way to start a show. And he's also so wee himself. He's like a twee-'s like a tweet a twink like a we drink He looks like McColle Corkin like how he's like home alone. He is so cute and like so sweet I mean it makes me want to adopt little babies and like accidentally leave them in the airport where I go I'm not going vacation with my family Yeah, and so we learned that to save the competition this year, the bakers have volunteered to leave their loved ones and live in a bake off bubble for seven weeks. Like, I'm sure that was a really hard thing to do. It was like, well, I could either stay here

in my flat in West London, or I could live on the rolling estate out in the countryside and be on TV and eat nothing but cakes for seven weeks. I wonder what I'll do. Yeah, best corona time ever. I know. So Laura's like, well, if my husband cook fajitas or, as he calls him, fajitas. I say he says, you should do it. And I cried into those fajitas. I cried right into those haddock fajitas so hard. Oh, and despite everything 2020 has thrown at us, we've made it. They'll always be cake.

And the prue is like, this is so exciting. It's so comforting. I was like, is anybody gonna poke prue? Somebody need a poke prue, prue. Prue is the least comforting person of all time. Like I love prue also, but she, what she wears like aggressive colors with very intense necklaces,

like there's nothing comforting about her. She's like, oh, I'm looking forward to spending this time with these people, it's comforting. She always like also does like a shake emphasis on her words. She's like, yeah, like that sort of like, you know. Yeah, and she's got the full on blue glasses to match her blue outfit. And I was like, ooh, I hope she's like, rich, and has a lot of glasses and it doesn't just always wear blue. But I don't know, time will tell.

So far, she's only just going to wear blue. That's that's yeah. I don't remember if she has multiple. She has. So she has a lot of variations on the same style. So like in the past, one of her signature necklaces is like, it looks like a cable. It almost looks like, you know, you know, when people are on a reality show and they have to be in bathing suits a lot. So they basically have like a lanyard and then like a little microphone hanging off of it. That's where necklaces look like except their colorful. Oh yeah. She have, she have like a colorful one with like little

balls that look like kind of booze out in the ocean just Yes, that's exactly like her thing or she'll have one I think she was wearing one that had like a square on it that looks almost like a stethoscope that had like gotten merged together with another stethoscope You know, yeah? so this would be like nothing anyone's ever seen and We see clips from today's episode and some drop muffins. Can't wait to see that.

And then there's like a punk girl who we find out later is Lottie. And she just sees the drop, the clip makes it looks like she sees the drop muffin and is like, solid start. And I was like, yes, Allie Shidi from Breakfast Club. This is what we're doing.

I was getting Emma Stone from her actually. Maybe she's like somewhere between Allie, Shidi and Emma Stone. Emma Stone is this generation's Allie, Shidi and breakfast club. That's fair. Yeah, that's fair. That's fair. And Lindsay Lohan was, well, I guess real life,

Lindsay Lohan, never mind. Okay, I'll just stop. You know what, I'm gonna hedge my bat and go ahead and stop at. Allie, Shidi. Allie, Shidi, yeah. Yeah, that's okay. So now everyone is gathering for the first challenge

and the judges and the hosts stand up front. And the patterns on this show from the officials are just getting so crazy between Peru and Nul and now the new guy Matt, Matt is just wearing this big red shirt with pink polka dots. He just came out of Kmart or Home Depot, just like someone doing their errands for the weekend. I was like, oh no, I got a host of TV show now.

Just like, there's so many patterns happening here. And Noel kind of looks like Kyle Richards, like someone doing drag Kyle Richards. It's like a flowy caftan look, like Adam Lambert doing drag as Kyle Richards. So, hello back guys, welcome to the tent. It's time for your first ever signature challenge, the Battenberg.

Now, this was a word I cannot think of yesterday in a recap or whenever we were recording that recap and I couldn't come up with the Battenberg. It's the Battenberg cake. Battenberg, the Battenberg cake, which is basically rectangular in shape, wrapped in Marsapan, and it has like two different or multiple different cake cakes in it that

are like different colors, so it makes the pattern when you slice into it. So like multiple sponges. Yeah. So it needs to reveal a pattern. You need to have distinct colors. That's what they're looking for. Yeah, so big and then one of my other favorites, Linda, this lady with like kind of like big old gray hair. And she's like, you'll be like, I'm so excited to come back for it to begin. This is gonna know both. I'm like,

for it, I'm excited to be here. No, I'm like for real excited to me So let me go happy about every little thing. They're like Laura you lost and she's like You know bad next time I mean I'm just trying my best. I mean it was crap. I know it was crap I mean, but that's so fun about I felt great. I loved it So then we see prove prove is so excited for this challenge. we had a nice big close-up on her and she's like Battenberg is a lovely signature to start off with and every Mars-a-Pan lovers favorite cake, mind you Then they've got a guy named Mark, he's Irish, I think he's like some kind of Irish. And he's like, well I'm feeling like I'm starting a right wing to get going all morning. Already to break something.

I've got a wacky shirt and probably eating my hair. I'm broken, son of a no-round in this. He's like, super comes one right now. Raising kids can be one of the greatest rewards of a parent's life. But come on, someday, parenting is unbearable. I love my kid, but is a new parenting podcast from Wondry that shares a refreshingly honest and insightful take on parenting. Hosted by myself, Megan Galey, Chris Garcia,

and Kurt Brown-Oller, we will be your resident, not-so-expert-experts. Each week we'll share a parenting story that'll have you laughing, nodding, and thinking. Oh yeah, I have absolutely been there. We'll talk about what went right and wrong. What would we do differently? And the next time you step on yet another stray Lego

in the middle of the night, you'll feel less alone. So if you like to laugh with us as we talk about the hardest job in the world, listen to, I love my kid, but wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen ad-free on the Amazon Music or Wondery app. So the judges, they make their way over to them and named Lurea. And Lurea has decided that her Battenberg is going to be a bubble gum and cream soda flavored Battenberg.

And I like literally threw up on my coffee table as soon as she said that, that's not it's so vile to me. And all the judges were like, and they're like, and how are you going to be getting that flavor? And she's like, well, I'll have some, I've bubble gum, I've bubble gum flavoring, and I also have cream soda syrup and cream soda flavoring, and they're all like, Oh, this stroke, like,

proof strokes out in that moment. She's like, like, she makes some, she makes some sudden movement. I was like, someone get prou And then we find out a little bit about LaRrea. LaRrea works as a radiographer for the NHS and gets all her recipes tested by her neighbors and then we go see her passing out her cookies and stuff to her neighbors. It's like her next to Wilson. Like, it's like home improvement. There's just like a like there's like this tall picket fence And then we just see like bangs on the other side and

I'm like I made you some cupcakes and then when it's like oh very nice like they much Oh, and then and then prove they come back and And we will we see the plan for this cake is he'd be just this bright blue thing and then prove just shades the woman so hard to guess But what I love is that you've come for everything artificial. You said everything you think should be artificial. I love that. And now it says what I love is actually everything. And all the judges are like, Oh no!

So let me see Laura. Laura is going to be doing a raspberry Battenberg. Laura's the one whose husband makes the feeders. Oh, I'm so known as Fudgey Tuss. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. So she's been using some raspberry ripple. She doesn't really like Mars a pan, but she's gonna go for it anyway.

Yeah, you're a fan of the Battenberg. She's like, not really mate. So, Laura is a Samaritan volunteer and takes huge pride in her garden and apparently Koi fish because she's got a lot of them. She plans to pipe roses on her raspberry battenberg. And then she'll pipe some roses on the Koi fish. They don't like it for a match but it gives her a greater pleasure. So she's like Matt will you try some? He's like I'll try it but I don't want it for a match, but it gives her a great pleasure. So she's like, Matt, will you try some? He's like, I'll try it, but I don't want to judge it, because I've got the stomach of a

down year old. Holy Timmy thing, even super noodles. Which I haven't assumed me as like a British thing, because I've no idea what super noodles are. And he's like, you know what they're called, bachelor's super noodles, although since I'm homosexual, I call them confirmed, bachelor's super noodles. Anyway, I'm balancing a noodle call them confirmed Bachelor of Super Noodles. Anyway, I'm balancing a noodle on my hair, does we speak?

And she's like, oh, you're homosexual? Never knew that. Well, I have them out at weekends. Oh, that's funny. I get that now. I get that now. That's funny. So now we have Lottie. So Lottie's spent the entire episode just like... She's just pissed. She's that person at work who is like a little bit behind, you know Like she's she's late for a meeting. That's what she is this entire episode She's like, oh well, I guess I better do this because more the fucking reads right now All right, what can I do? Rebob and custard Battenberg? I guess I'll do the best that I can do here

I'm a little stop-hat. I don't know why I do a stop-hat. I'm late for my meeting. Yeah, I love her like anger and her thick eyeliner, her thick black eyeliner. She's, and so Prude comes over and she's like, oh, are you doing a Thor, a classic Thor square? And she's like, I didn't want to tell you what I'm doing because I haven't got it quite right yet. I'm trying to get a bit of a funky star-state pattern. And Matt's like, Lord, he lives in Little Hampton and winds from her job as a pantomime producer by listening to Viking metal while baking and doing yoga with a friend Naomi. Was that generated by like auto-fill? Like is that a real sentence?

That's my favorite sentence of the year. It was amazing and then you see her doing yoga with her friend Naomi and Naomi goes, you want to lift your arms up and let it go, no. For her cake, she'll attempt to strike from a razor band a surround her star shaped sponge which they could already be an issue with. And she's like, why is that fucking curling? I've lumps in my batter, lumps are do this over, of Lumpsha did this over. Sure, of course I should do this over. That's my life.

That's what I should do. So now we're learning more about Battenbergs, which is that they should have two complementary flavors. And then it cuts to Laura Live putting the cream soda flavor in with her bubble gum flavor. And it's like, these flavors sound so disgusting in a cake. And then do they even go well together in a cake? Also, I don't know.

I mean, I could go for that, but we talked about Taffy a couple weeks on the show. Do you remember? I don't remember why, but we were talking about saltwater Taffy. And I was like, well, they have that of the store I order from Instacarton. And so I've just been ordering bags of it ever since.

So I can, anyway, the whole reason I bring it ever since. So I get that so much. Anyway, though of the reason I bring it up is because you're taking all these artificial flavors and you mix them all the time in your mouth and so I'm like, oh this could work. Yeah. I mean, I just ate peppermint and a mango together. I was like, hmm, who knew that would work? Wow. Well actually that could work.

That's almost like very Thai, right? Like those are actually Thai flavors in a weird way Southeast Asian right? Yeah, we're they love it. Love it And it elevated I the thing is I hate bubble gum flavor and bubble gum smells So just that alone was making me grossed out and cream soda is like I Feel like cream soda is it's time it has passed. I feel like it had a moment It's time has passed. I feel like it had a moment. It had a moment back in the 50s, I feel like.

But I know people, there will always be people who love cream soda. I've had a cream soda. It's fine, but it's like unremarkable. It's like a weird, that weird vanilla sweetness that I don't know. I don't know. I'm a cream soda person, but I really only drink sodas when I eat so I can only have diet coke or coke.

Or Dr. Pepper sometimes, but I can't have cream soda or like orange soda while I'm eating. I feel like cream soda, if people really like cream soda a lot, they would be like a major brand that had super bowl commercials, okay, and there is none. So I think that like, I mean, there was a doctorate. Or isn't there so many people like Cream Soda that then don't even have to advertise on the Super Bowl?

Maybe there's like a Cream Soda silent majority. I think they're gonna talk about it. I think they're gonna talk about it. The Cream Soda is gonna win the presidency and everyone's gonna be shocked. It's also funny because Cream Soda is supposed to taste like vanilla. So it's kind of funny that this lady just didn't do a vanilla of vanilla flavor. She's like, no, I wanted to be vanilla, but sweeter and stranger.

Yeah. That's my style. You know what? We don't need to go into this because we'll talk about Soda's now for five hours. So Dave, while Lothius has had to start her trip to the sweet shop again, Dave has gone straight to the off-licens. Does that guy mean he's a drunk? Because he's making him espresso martini.

Oh yeah, Dave is an armored security guard from Hampshire and he and his partner Stacy are waiting for that baby. Dave, Dave is, I think, I can't stand Dave. There's something about Dave. He's very humorous and unpleasant, I find. He's like, well, he seems like he's going to be very good natured because he's got his handsome, right? His handsome, thin, which I mean, I guess you get points for especially on this show. I mean, that's quite a feat. And so he's like, I don't know, he looks like he's going to be super

good nature. I'm looking at his picture right now in the cast thing and he's like, I don't know, he looks like he's going to be super good in nature. I'm looking at his picture right now in the cast thing. And he's like, but then the second he gets the second he hears something he doesn't like, it turns into psycho face. He's like, oh really? He's like, oh, really? All right. All right. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

He looks like he is just like containing a lot of rage in his system and I just I'm picking up on it I don't like it. I also to by the way I also detected a little bit of Benedict Cumberbatch in his face not a lot But just like subtle hints of it here and there. Did you see that? No, I don't see any Benedict Cumberbatch It's very slight like everything I would like to flash I wouldn't like him if I saw Benic Benedict Cumberbatch. I think he seems snotty. He comes off his very snotty to me. Yeah. Oh, well you're gonna get the Cumberbitches mad. You know, he's got those fans. He's got the Cumberbitches. Oh really? Then here's what I'll say season four of Sherlock. Go fuck yourself

Listen, okay, here's what I gotta say t Tinker, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spire. All right, that's what I gotta say. Comrade bitches, how about that? Oh, and here's what else I gotta say. Oh, I'm the only person in the superhero movies with a stupid power, you know? He's like, ooh, look, a crystal ball, ooh, shut up, you're even snotty in a stupid, Avengers movie, sir. I haven't, you know. I haven't seen that.

So I just know he's called Dr. Strange or something like that. Great name, superhero, Dr. Strange. Oh, so you have an advanced degree, is that makes you a little bit better of a superhero, doesn't it? Wow, oh, you went to med school superhero. Yes, you see, Smoddy. Dr. Strange. Yeah, so I think it's mad when people say he's strange, I bet, huh?

It's like, well, it's in your name, your strange. Just accept it, like I think it's mad when people say he's strange I bet, huh? It's like well, it's in your name your strange just accept it like how it? Okay, it just seems very actory like if you ever interviewed him You are you would because he's an actor but if you ever saw most people are like, hey What's your favorite kind of Battenberg could be like? Well, when I think of Battenberg it takes me back to the childhood I couldn't fully immerse myself in due to circumstances beyond my control. I remember once visiting Belmore and we had a Battenbergs there after tea and I thought this is quite a delicious flavor and I'll always remember it for the rest of my life. So I'd have to say my

favorite flavor would be vanilla and vanilla thank you. Yeah so he seems like an asshole. So he's not in the show. So that is gonna do an espresso martini thing and Noelle nobles like to go to go off But he's like oh to go off beat for a lot of these recipes I mean it doesn't seem like you're following any kind of recipe and he's like well I just see a recipe is a loose satchel rules are made to be broken. I was like, no, this is baking. Okay. No. Yeah, it says Dave would like the most conservative haircut. Rules are to be broken. That's why listen to blink 182. Yeah, I'm just a security guard. You're literally paid to enforce rules. So then they shade Lorelai again, because then we hear

bakers are going to need to use build colors, but on Lorelai, some bakers are coloring their cake with something a little less artificial. That's like they're just going in on her. That's a bit of a first I'm going in. Yeah, and Lorela is putting jam in hers. Yeah, which I was like, I understand that you're putting jam in hers. Yeah, which I was like I understand that you're putting jam in but isn't the whole thing that the sponges must be colored not the stuff. Well, yeah, but it's just using yeah. Oh, I see what you know, I'm saying like it looked like the jam was not you know It was like in between. Yeah, I don't really know. I just, I know how much you hate things with little tiny seeds in them.

And so in solidarity, in solidarity with you, I don't know what the fuck is wrong with me today. In solidarity with you. That's the thing. Dr. Strange, you've been, you've been a talk about Dr. Strange. I know. I wish I was just a drunk as I sound.

What does Dr. Strange actually do? What's his power? He's magic. Like, he's magic. That's his thing. It's so annoying, you know? I don't want to, he can't just be magic. Like he's magic. That's his thing. It's so annoying. You know, I don't want to, he can't just be magic. Like everybody gets one superhero thing.

And he's like, oh look at me. One card, five cards. I'm like, oh shit. No. He had to get in a fan's degree for that. So, I'm really hung out bad light. I'm not even sure he deserved that advanced degree. If he knows magic, he probably cheated his way through his MCATs.

He's probably so mortified to be in Avengers movies anyway. He's like, well, it pays the mole gauge. So I can do my real art. He's hanging out with like Miranda Richardson on the weekend. I mean, yeah. I had to go hang out with those Avenger types again to save the world. He's saying, man. I'm like, Mark, I'm just watching Wimbleton.

Merrill, you know what it's like. I mean, 101 Dalmatians don't think I've forgotten. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Oh, so now Mark, old Mark, is he's using Sourcer as close. Did I just put Merrill's Strip in one? Oh my God, people, I'm sorry. It's alright. It's alright, you just recast it.

You just recast it and you know why you're able to recast it? Magic. Death becomes my ride. Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, change the name. I can't think of any British actresses except for Miranda Richardson right now. That's all I'm like,

I'm in my mind, I'm like trying to think of like a yes and for like who else Dr. Strange is hanging out with and to me just on the random. Maybe Judy dance, David Judy dance, David dance, David dance, um, Spro like suck it up, sir. And we both do the job, make the money. Helen Mirin, yeah, Helen's like, oh god damn it. Are you busy again this week and saving the bird? Really you want me to feel bad for you for being in a feature?

Great, why don't you come over here and see my latest project? God, me mother fucker take the job and shut your mouth At some point you're just gonna have to let the people fend for themselves all right? All right, so Mark with the sea lives in Cornwall. Part-time Cara, full-time father to two girls. He's making sour cherry chocolate with sour cherries to help color it. I'm like, so you are a full-time single dad to your girls, a worse part-time and now you've actually left them for seven weeks. Get someone checking on those girls. It was form of father to take current orphans. That's what you're saying. That is like actually like hitting the jackpot if you're a British child. It's like, well, we did have a father, but then he left to go for a bacon competition

and hasn't come back, please. Can we have some more? The power in the musical all day long The British accent was was invented to be orphaned by your father who will have to go to a baking competition Yeah, I don't know if it's because I first learned about British people from musicals But that's the only person I want to hear baking, you know like British children I think they just do it the best way, you know Well, they have to have like a little hat to

They have to wear a like maybe a page. Yeah, like Something like this. This little like a Newsy type hat sort of those. Yeah. Yeah, that's the only way that they really have to sell it as scarf of scarf It has to be winter also. Yeah, and they have to be by a window And there has to be lots of smoke coming out of all the buildings There have to be lots of smoke coming out of all the buildings. Okay, so the host is like, whoever's talking to him is like, well you know we have two mocks here. There's Irish mark whose young gun has parmed in his hair. And then there's you, so what are we going to call you guys?

Hmm, why don't we call me after my dog, Hamish. We're just going to call you Mark's, dude. Yeah. What a stupid name. Your name's Debbie Mark from here on out. Mark with a C. So then, Null and Matt, Null's like, Matt, this is your first ever time to say this.

Matt's like, you do it. No, you do it. You do it. You do it. Bakers. Bakers. We did it at the same time there. We devilish little angels aren't we?

One hour left. So now deciding when to start baking your sponges is a crucial decision. Judges want strict geometric form, which means sponges hold just enough one cut, but baked too long the texture will be lost. And McColley Corkin Pete is like, I'm making a gluten free sponge. I'm actually used, I'm actually more used to making gluten free than I am regular. Twenty year old Peter is a bad-mittened mad accountant. I've been practicing for four weeks, I wanted to say it right. 20-year-old Peter is a badminton mad accountantsy student from Edenburg.

He began wheat-free baking for his brother Andrew. His gluten-free chocolate and orange sponge will be wrapped in polka dots. Andrew is currently in the hospital. From eating a toast. Thank you. They are both hearts, but unfortunately only one of them can eat a bread. Which explains why one of them is perhaps a little bit hotter than the other. And we see them just playing badminton in their backyard, which I would laugh at except

that that was me at that age too, because there was a period of time when I got very into badminton when I was around 18. And I just played my my travel away with it. And then we see Pete's superpower. Pete's like, well most people touch their baking to make sure it's right, but I learned from this year's show that what you really need to do is listen to it. If it's boiling, it's little cooking. If it's boiling, it's still cooking. If it's not boiling.

If it's not too to kill a dog. If it sounds calm, it's baked. Creepy and adorable. If the cake is boiling, it's mad at you. If the cake is silent, you've been a good boy. But if the cake is too silent, you've probably accidentally fed it some sort of gluten and ruined its entire life. Hold on, my cake is saying something to me right now. It's saying, near far, wherever you are.

My heart would go on. Salina, is that you? Is that you? So let me go over to Sarah. And, uh, well, Sarah probably won't need to time her cakes because they're currently overflowing. And then we see her- Spongebob like a macaroni and cheese. It's just like a cheese dip in an oven.

It's like bubbling over the thing. And she's like, well, I didn't use this tin in practice because it took three weeks to arrive. Snures at the camera, like an hour fault. Amazon, I like it. Maybe for people who are ordering so much toilet paper, I could have gotten my tin a little bit earlier. Thanks, and thanks, world. Sura is a hospital pharmacist and lives with her cat ghost.

She'll have to transform her overflowing sponges into perfect squares. Well, I feel sorry for whoever's going to clean up after me because I made a mess on account of this late tin situation. Thanks. Tony Blair. I just love having a cat named Ghost. Like, hey, have you seen my cat, the ghost? I'm like, oh my god, it's right there!

See it! It's just a name, darling. Come down. You can't really do pottery in your that cat. We'll just come behind you with its paws. We'll be goper, we'll get that cat and make out with you. This cat name goes and the cat's also on a leash too. She walks the cat on the sidewalk. It's a lot of weird shit happening. The show is really weird, by the way. I love British people. They do weird shit. So, um, so Matt's like, so are you a Battenberg fan, Surah? And she's like,

I'm so with a cake. I've been tasting it and trying it out. And I don't even want to have cake anymore, my ever. I don't even know I'm even here. You know what I hate baking. I hate baking. I hate people her tents I hate you. Why am I here? I'm not saying you might be on the wrong show Sarah. She goes, I know Don't need to tell me that fat man This afternoon tea classic is famous for his marzipan wrapping afternoon tea classic is famous for his Mars a pan wrapping pulled and prue have insisted the bakers make their own now so then we go to mac

no we go to more lower like that oh yeah they're all doing yeah well for i have it that first we're going to um... first we're going to lower life but i could have just a bit mark but i'll just say that i'm only maybe one page into 20 pages of notes. Yeah, because everyone has these like one line comments. So I, some of my wrote down some of my didn't say, you probably wrote down the ones I didn't, but I have written down first Lorelai saying like,

what's not, not, without taking a couple of risks. As she like, like, Mizuka Jo went to her marzipan, and then Surah is like, well, I never tried marzipan, and they're like, you to try you got to try it So I tried it and I was like, ew disgusting People have such strong feelings about Mazapan on this show. They really do don't go to Berlin. Oh So Mark is making a Turkish bizarre cake

Because his wife loves it and it's his anniversary It's so romantic except that you left your wife on your anniversary! Okay, I'm happy, I'm happy. So then we see Mark as a project manager and lives in Liverpool with his wife Laura and he's like walking the park with his wife and the dog and the dogs he's something and just like runs and just pulls Mark out of frame. He's like, I don't know! I said project manager not dog manager, alright?

So beneath his green marzipan will be Turkish flavors of pistachio, pulma granite and blab blab blab blab. So no one comes over and he's like, did you call your wife? Are you playing in cool? And he's like, oh yeah, I'm not texting till she texts. He's like, hmm. So it's your first day and it's your first day here and

your anniversary. It's really all stacked up against you, isn't it? Here, now, will you walk this dog across the tent and see how we do it? Let's see how you do it without. So now we get to row in our resident Dandy. And he's like, because now Prue and Paul, they all come over to ask him what he's doing he's like I'm making my night sky Mars a pan my great hero music is Mutsart and his upright the magical flute is about the forces of dark and the forces of enlightenment so outside the cake this can be the night sky and on the inside which represents the forces of darkness and the inside the temple of enlightenment and Paul's like, what the fuck? I think that sounds stupid and my last name is Holywood. So.

Oh, yeah. And he's like so into it. And he's like, wait a minute, how are you going to represent a temple inside a Battenberg? And he's like, with a lot of complicated cutting. You know that much? And then Rowan's little bio is exactly what you'd expect. It's him playing the flute in like a garden as Rowan is a music teacher and lives in Putten Wustershire with his partner Paul. He's like, just like just playing the flooding So Vanita's Mazapan sky his temple will be built from 13 separate sections of sponge and then we see it like plans like Architectural plans laid out of all of what he's gonna do and he's like have you done this before? He's like Did it work?

Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Oh. So now we see, then we go back to Linda, the older lady. And she's making her bandberg in the shape of an ambulance because while we find out in a few moments that her cousin was a paramedic and he recently passed away.

So this is her dedication to him. But of course, if this were American TV, everything would have slowed down and the music would have gone dramatic. But since it's British TV, they're like, stiff up a lip and all and they're like, do do do do do do do do do. My cousin died. So anyway, past the sugar. Yeah, and she's like so giggly anyway. She's like, it would be an ambulance because my cousin died of one. Ah! You're sweet, what? It's like Linda works in supported housing and lives in Bexon on sea with a partner Richard.

They love sitting on the beach. You just see the man that's like gravel beach. Just like, there's quite a lovely isn't it? Just nice gravel, belief our feet, by the water. A classic marzipan is carefully needed, mix of eggs, sugar, gran, or ground almonds, and love! And then the camera goes to Sura, it's like, let's get Sura doing her Marsapan, and she's like...

She just looks at the camera like, fuck off! It's bad not have to handle this shit now you're on my face. So and then some more shade. Ozapan is a cafe-needed mixture of eggs, sugar and ground almonds. A traditional recipe that's Maka's decided to ignore. And so, Maka has decided he's gonna use pistachios instead of almonds. Yeah, Maka's a management accountant for housing association. Lots of people in housing on the housing and NHS

Yes, there's a lot of work with housing and NHS. I know if I ever move what I'm getting into So Mac story is funny because they're like oh look at Mac Management accountant and the video they're showing of him is in a full beekeeper suit The punishment accountant, the video they're showing of him, is in a full beekeeper suit. With someone else just looking over like a bee, a honeycomb, like hmm. Yeah, it's like his son, his son's a far. I was like expecting to see Rowan just like come into frame with his flute, like oh, I'm doing a little show now.

And Max, like my kids are the same as me. They don't like Maul's a pan, either. So then we go to Hermine, who's a training accountant, and skateboards in West London with her son. And she's like, look at me on a skateboard. And her son goes, what are you doing? Ha ha ha ha ha. Come on, Maul. So she's making a chocolate orange bandberg.

By the way, chocolate oranges, I think, may be my favorite chocolate combination. And so the fact that there are two happening, I know, I think we've discussed this before. I don't hate it. I do hate it in the chocolates, like the Valentine's chocolates, you know, when you get all the,

I hate that orange and chocolate one, but I don't hate it. It's just mixing fruit, fruit, healthy, that's losing weight. Chocolate is gaining weight. I don't like the two to mix right right so Well dark chocolate what you could argue as well. Oh my god dark chocolate so far superior than milk chocolate Oh god, that's a crazy cream chocolate

It's like yes free training like dark chocolate. It's not his goals by the way Do you see for your cranes life? He lives in a beautiful apartment in Seattle. He goes to the opera. He's so sophisticated. He knows things about things. He's got a lovely housekeeper. He's got a brother. He doesn't know what to do about Tossalids and scrambled eggs. Okay. You can have everything you want in the world, but if you can't figure that out, you're fucked. I'm telling you, if I have to choose a Milano cookie, I'm always going to go for chocolate orange.

That's my number one. Okay. You're a lot. You're a lot to be different. And that's why I was immediately, well, I'm on a million Hermine's side, but I know that Peter was also doing one too, but I liked Hermine's plans more. So I was already like reading for her because of this. And she's using mom laid in the Mazapan instead of eggs.

Oh yes. So then half an hour left, half an hour left. Not half an hour to live. And yeah, they make that joke. It's not a half an hour just to live. And they cut to Dave and he's just smirks like Like I want a better joke It's like Dave, you know what just focus on your cake. Yeah, like no security guard

Yeah, blink one of you too. Oh So Sarah her cake obviously was kind of a disaster so she's just cutting off the top and she's like no one will notice this right I mean except the cameras Cut the fuck out of here by the way. Look at out lovely a crispy cake just what everyone wants You know who you know what's the only thing worse than a crispy cake miles a pan hmm Yeah, and then Rowan poor guy is of course unable to construct his crazy temple Why cuz it's fucking crazy? Okay, it's crazy. Yeah, it's too crazy

Yeah, he had he had had brought in this like plastic thing I think he said it was a CD storage at one point and He would like fashion it so that way he could like cut all the slices So at first it seems sort of cool But we should have known that when he that the fact that he still had CD storage was a bad sign, you know Yeah, it's like I've made slots there 13 different pieces hopefully to work Yeah, this should should be fine. It's like one Peter Galway was charged to do the flute through Chopin's third So Rowan's cakes are all gross. They're wrong the middle so he throws them in the microwave

And then 24 minutes and Everyone's like I think I'll have to simplify You think you think building a temple There's not gonna work out and then you have Ladi by the way Ladi is also just like losing her mind So we're making marzipatas not the scool I need going forward. You know what I need to go forward not scool I need Volking death metal. Okay, that's what I need to learn going forward. You know what I need to go forward? Not skill I need? Valking death medal. Okay, that's what I need to learn going forward. And Noel comes over and she's kind of making a mess of her Marciapan rap because it has to be like a perfect square. And Noel comes over and he's like, hmm, they're expecting seamless rapping. You know that. She's like, oh,

yes, I do. And thanks for coming around, though. That's great. Thanks for coming around. No. Insura, Sura's rolling out her meringue, and she's like, ugh, marzipan. Well, that shows how much I like it, because she's like, I guess there's a crack in her, or something, and she's like, ugh, no one to roll it out. And what does it roll to tell if I had lazy bastard?

So now the bakers will face prune poll for the first time. Let us start with Peter's gluten-free chocolate and orange battenberg. Yeah. That's pretty. Yes. I love the polka dots. Mm-hmm. It looked neat.

I said it looked neat. Pru loved the chocolate texture and the marzipan was nice and thin. Paul loved it. They said that the gluten-free dough actually worked really well for it. It works really well with sponges. And then we go over to Max with his East Indian flavoured pistachio marzipan. And Paul's like, I questioned the ginger and the orange too complicated. Too complicated. And then her mind's, I keep on wanna say her mindy, but it's her mind, right?

So it's her mind. Yes, because that transphobic bitch face who wrote Harry Potter, ruined everybody's version of Heramine, and now it's Hermione, okay? Oh, thank you so much. Your mind, okay, great. What in?

So here mine, so they love it. The marmalade thing worked out and they love the bitterness that the marmalade has. And who's like, who's a pleasure to eat it? Is it really pleasure? Pleasure to eat it. Yeah. And Laura. Celebration of summer.

Celebration of summer fajitas. With the core fish. And freeze like I expect meat mass Post like I'm getting a plane sponge and the raspberry and that's pretty much it And they're like well, there's no distinction in the cut of the spawn and they show the spawn just like four white squares They're all white What was she doing? Yeah, which is just the marmalade or whatever and the... So then I say, ugh, but it's still like fucking gorgeous compared to anything I would ever make.

Oh yeah, 100%. And then espresso martini Dave, and here we go. He starts to look kind of like tense. This is where we start seeing his intense crazy face. And he's like, nice square edges. The coffee overpowers the chocolate it's delicious and both like well I don't think it's really a martini is it it's more the cake you explained it wrong and David's like yes and it's like Jason now like fully read this show I would

say this show in love out in duke have like the highest percentage of blushing per crap. Like the amount of people who blush on these shows, it's full on like their cheeks just get so red. Yeah, they really do blush. I feel bad. So now we go to Linda's ambulance and it's unfinished. So the ambulance has a few details on it, but it's basically unfinished and it's overfac-

I have windows, it's lacking identity. It's a fucking truck. It's got windows and wheels. What the hell do you want from it? It's an ambulance. And they're, they just hated. And Prue is just like, well, I wish I could give you mocks for your handsome cousin, but, oh well.

They just put his picture up on screen. They're like, moving on. And then, uh, Lurerea is a hot summer day treat. It looks like a smurf. That's like, he turns it into a blue bubble gum wine. And I thought it looked pretty, but Paul's like, bone dry, flavors are intense. Ugh, it needs to be less heavy.

It's not too thick. Yeah, too thick, the marzipan's too thick. And when they slice into it, they all the judges like, recalled back because they could smell the bubble, and they're like, oh, do you know why? We're not the food network, don't feed this to us now.

And then proves like, you know, it's really too thick and Matt's like, when I have my ninth birthday party, will you make this for me? I like to put it on my head. Yeah, so then they try the Mark's Turkish Bizarre Cake, work as the Tury Irochi guy, and Paul's like, pomegranate does nothing flavor-wise.

Yeah, that was pretty harsh anti-pomegranate sentiment. So then I was like, I can't wait to say that in real life. And then we go to other mark. And I was like, oh, that looks pretty. And I'm pretty like, this is too busy. And I was like, oh yeah, I guess it is kind of busy. Because there was like, everything was on it. But for some reason, maybe just after like the bubble gum

thing, I was like, all messed up. I thought it was really pretty too. Yeah, he did pipe too many things on there. But I thought it was still really nice looking. But there was too much rose water. And the sour cherry was like pretty too. Yeah, he did pipe too many things on there, but I thought it was still really nice looking But there was too much rose water and the sour cherry was like very strong and then Lottie is gonna be that kind of girl And like a chick flick that starts out with like the thick eyeliner. She hates everything No, no, no, but she really just wanted to be asked to prom like she's yeah really like so and she gets like a makeover And at the end it's like some girl power song and she's like oh my god

Look at me. I'm wearing contrast for the first time. Because Lottie, you would never guess that this is gonna come from the girl who's obsessed with Viking metal, okay? It's striped. It's like, beautifully. It's just like pink and yellow striped. And then when you cut, yeah, you cut into it.

And it's a starburst. She's made a star on the inside, which is so cool and so girly and just so, I loved it. But also, let's not forget the fact that she put it in a body bag first. It was like literally like Laura Palmer washing up on the beach, henchmen peaks, and she like pulls out this like plastic body bag.

Like did it come from the morgue? What's going on here? And so they love the colors and then they taste it and Prue was like, what? Both sponges taste the same. And so they they love the colors and then they they taste it and prove is like Both sponges taste the same is it meant to is it meant to which is like her version of Padma saying did you mean to fuck up both Sponges is it supposed to and she's like yeah, she's well they both taste delicious and the same And the same Good effort So then we go over to Rowan's magic flute which is so funny. I mean the

The whole story night thing I think he got pretty well So it's like a bread stick from the Olive Garden on top Yeah, I didn't even think the story night was very good because it was like a little pale I thought I think if you're doing story night I think you want it to be like dark a dark story night, you know So they they got into it and proves like so no temple then could have told you that could not high five high five Paul high five Then we go over to Sarah's lemon and orange and it looks really pretty. They really love it

Lovely piece of cake. We hear that about 30 times, this is only the first segment of three and we're almost done. I know. And so we should probably move it along, people. Move it along. Yeah, basically the only thing that matters there is that Matt had to clothe. So now we move it.

Didn't you think of Seth Tom when he did that? Because he ate, she had like little cloves on top and he ate one. He's like, what's this that? It tastes like Christmas. And so it's like, you're not supposed to eat that stupid. And I thought of Seth Tom because you're never supposed to put anything in editable. Don't put a garnish on that you can't eat, you're not supposed to eat.

So now we go on to the technical challenge. And so it's like, this is a classic. This is going to be testing your tummy and your consistency. So read your recipes carefully. So they're going to be making six pineapple upside down cakes, topped with like a pineapple ring. And they look like straight out of the fifties, you know? So they like, you know, some of them have made it before.

Rowan's like, the last time I made this was in school. I remember that. And Sora, she's made one before, but she's never eaten one. So she seems actually like not as attitude about this as she was about the Mars of Pan. Well, her attitude is like a funny attitude, so I really like it.

And also she knows she can nail this, so she's not afraid. Like the Mars of Pan, she couldn't, she wasn't as sure of, but this one she's like, I know how to make this. Even though she's pretending she doesn't like she obviously does because she fucking nails it and what are the annals like so do you know how long to cook it she's like I'll just look at it and it's like oh

look at you you've got skills I wasn't sure I mean don't even watch this pants just throw them across the room you're a baking baking superstar. Get out of my face. So basically the challenge with ease is that there has to be caramel and it's like you put in too much, the cake's not gonna rise and too little, there's not gonna be the caramel flavor. And on top of that there's issues of when you have to pour them out of these little bowls or plates

or whatever molds, things you get stuck to it. So that's the whole, that's the big challenge. Yeah, I know I'm a big flan maker, so I know this pain. And it always surprises me because they have to, they start off making caramel. It always surprises me on this show that there are always some people who don't seem to know how to make caramel.

And I kind of feel like that should be kind of like part of your baking 101. If you're going on a baking show, you should know how to make caramel, right? Sugar in water. Sugar in water, but some of them are like, okay,'re going on a baking show, you should know how to make caramel, right? Sugar and water. Sugar and water, but some of them are like, okay, well, this is crazy for me, is it burnt? Is this the right color?

Is it not the right color? It's like, you should know this by now. You should know. You should have like a caramel sense. Yeah, it is harder to make like the creamy caramel, you know, like this and chocolate. This kind of that you pour and then bake is okay, but that like creamy caramel,

who I'd love to know how to make that. Wait, no, but the one where you just, where you put like sugar and water in, I think the issue is that I could crystallize and then you have to start over, right? Whereas if the one that you put the milk, but it's a little milk. Yeah, I guess I've never made the milk one.

How do you even make that? It's easy, the milk one is actually really violent. It's, you're just basically, well, there are different recipes, because there's some of the other, is it the condensed milk or whatever? basically, well, there are different recipes, because there's some caramels. Is it the condensed milk or whatever? That. Well, there are different recipes,

but some, some, you just put sugar, sometimes you just melt the sugar, and maybe, and sometimes you have sugar and just like you put some water in there, and some, like you start with the sugar in the water, and then it like starts to caramelize, and then you add the milk in, and when you add the milk in, that's when it like gar that's when it like garbles up and it's like very scary and

Yeah, that's how you do that. That's how you get the creamy one that you're talking about is you just add milk I think sometimes you have butter. I'm not sure about the butter, but okay Maybe I should look that it's really it's really it's actually really easy the hardest part is just like knowing Like they're with all the recipes just say something like cook the caramel into it turns a dark amber. And then I'm always like, is the star-back amber? Is the star-back amber? Is the star-back amber? Is this burnt or is it dark amber?

I can't tell. That's the hardest part. So anyway, back to this, just because we'll get obsessed with this, I love some caramel talk. Mark, with the sea, the single dad, did not grease his molds. And we've just been told the hardest thing is getting these things out, right? Yes, and it doesn't grease the modes. The other disaster is Linda,

because Linda has just put way too much caramel in there, and she's like, they're disaster all day! Yeah, the papa! What am I going to do? I'm going to lose! I'm going to lose! Oh, it's not doing quite well. And then the nut and so like everyone turns out pretty

nicely more or less, but there are some issues with getting them out except for Linda's, Linda's are like a full on disaster. Mark's are pretty bad too. But the other issue that people have is that they have to cool these things down. A lot of the people do not get to cool down their cakes. And so when they're putting their cream topping on,

it melts off and it looks a mess. Looks like a dog's breakfast, as they say. Yes, lintas are by far the worst for sure. And then it's time to bring them up to the judges. And they're all kind of standing. Please, please, set on the gingham. On the gingham, I put your face out to whatever, because it's a blind test, so they'll have little pictures. So they're all getting them set up and stuff, and David, the security guard, is next to Sora, and she's putting her stand down, and like, does this because she thinks there's a fly or something, and knocks his over.

He's holding his, and most of his fall on the ground. Which is crazy. Also, very satisfying for me, because I just not like David all and so I was like ha That's what you get for trying to crowd her space His wish by the his were bad anyway like they were already bad Well, they looked out because it looked like it was because they were not right because everyone else you didn't have like even cream and all of that stuff He kind of had a get out of jail free card, I guess. But so his face turns beat red

and he just has this like rageful smile. First he doesn't say anything. First he just like puckers his lips and it's like, like this and he just like walks back to his station. He's just red and has this like strained closed mouth. And she's like, I'm so sorry. I just, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize your stupid face was right there

behind my arm. I'm so sorry. I didn't realize your stupid face was right there behind my arm I'm so sorry, and it's like it's all right Accidents happen Accidents happen like you getting into this competition Accidents happen. It's like don't worry. I'm sure they can go by what they look like before they were on the ground Thanks, I'm not concerned at all. I'm not concerned And she starts crying because she's so upset. And so she's like, it's a terrible thing. And all the Matt come over and I was like,

I play Matt really. Don't you? And Matt's like, yes, I was looking at you and I think you were hypnotized by my beauty. And so they make her laugh again. So then Paul and Pru come in to do their blind taste test and her mind is first, and well, we don't need to go through every single one.

Yeah, I mean, everything we had a variety, like there's some things, some were a little doughy, some, a lot of them had issues with the cream, a lot of them had issues with the siding, et cetera. The biggest disasters here are Linda and single dad Mark. Mark, what Paul, Paul like goes in and he's just like

and this is super dark and bad sides and he takes it by his it's bant it's a mad mccoli colchon really nailed this one they love to do it oh he really did good he did good job and surah had great piping on hers uh... and he goes they they look at Sora's, which is like really amazing. And Paul goes, well, we move from the sublime,

Linda's or number 11. And then we come here to this pile of shit, who does this? It's like Linda's like, they're all flat. They look like actual pineapple discs. They're that flat. Yeah, and Linda's just like, he me. What is this? This looks like it was just pushed together in the tin. Did you just

find scraps of doughnuts from the craft service and pushed them together? And this, Dean, what is this? And then next, this is going from the bottom up. So she's last and then is Mark, then LaRaya, then David, then Mac, then Mark, then Laura, Loddy, and then the top three are Rowan, Peter, and the winner is Sora. So she starts crying because she can't smile because she's so upset that she's ruined someone else's chances or whatever. But I think he did pretty well.

He's still... He was fine. Yeah, I mean, he was number nine. He was like place nine. So that's not great. Yeah. So then they're talking about their day a little bit and so they're very British Imputors like well, it was a bit of a cracker Jack day. It's a cracker Jack day Oh, I don't know if I could feed those to my brother. They may have a union. I don't know

It was a cracker Jack day the way and Linda's like oh I mean, why had you let me on me? I gave him a pineapple frith it did not I had to yell at me. I mean I gave him a pineapple fritter, didn't I? Really? Oh god, I know I would have been fuming. I would have been fuming if that was served to me. So just one more challenge remaining before we crown a winner. So proof is like, the proof is hanging out with the judges and hosts and they're in their own little room. And she's like, I'm anxious. Being locked up for weeks all weeks all named with you guys there's not a grown up amongst you. Good one prove. So then. So now so they're talking about who's like going into this challenge who's at the top who's at the bottom so um Sura and Pete and Hermione are like in in line for

Star Baker and then the bottom they're like well Lola with that awful bubble gum cake artificial artificial artificial. Oh, and then there was that old mark not the young mark But old mark I mean he couldn't even grease his own tins and then Certainly Linda. I mean did you see that? I'm in the bottom. Somebody's gone through lockdown, then they've been quarantined, and to only have two days in the competition. And I'm pretty like, yeah, that's always worse than Nougas. Yes, the walk away, social distancing, all sad like without music from the hawk at

the end. With a hawk, yeah. Oh, so what is that? Yeah, the Hulk. I just thought it was the Hulk, like some kind of British show I didn't understand that. There probably is a British show called The Hulk. Did you see the Hulk last night on the beat? It sounds like a thrill.

I cried. I cried for hours and hours and hours. Benedict Cumberbatch and Helen Mirren in the Hulk. I thought it made a street present, but I've always been getting that one wrong. It was going close, actually. It was great. Great performance all around. It's about a minister who opens up a tavern and then loses a friend.

So I've seen that actually. So Matt and let's see. So they go with a check. Okay, so the next challenge is a cake bust, okay? Yes. So they have to make their hero, their hero in life into a cake bust in four hours. Which is already, like, this is already,

a disaster waiting to happen. Because you just know, even if they had 10 hours, they're not gonna be making a very good bust. Like, you just know it's gonna be terrible because we've seen so many things in this show. Like every time they have to make something that looks like something that almost always is a failure. And this one is just gonna be the most epic series

of failures we've ever seen on this show. So, so Prue is like, to make a cake bust, they have to do head and shoulders and we're asking them to be engineers and decorators and bakers and you know, the risk is that too much icing and too much buttercream and we make it too sweet. I'm like I think the risk is that they're all just gonna look like shit I think that's the big risk. I mean I was pretty I see a lot of them did but I was pretty impressed the

amount of stuff that they could do at all. Yes. Four hours. Wow. So old Mark. No, Matt., you're right. Mark with the, yeah, Mark with the sea. Sorry, there's too many. Mac, there's more. Mark and Mark and Mac. Um, but old Mark, that. Mark who's, who's left his children behind, uh, he is decide he's going to make David

Bowie with Ziggy Stahdust and so, Prussic, such as like, oh, he has that slender face. It's just that beautiful, beautiful man. The old, the old sl, oh he has that slender face, it's just that beautiful, beautiful man. The old slender duke, whatever it was called, it's just a beautiful man, I'm sure you won't do him on a high cheekburns, slender face, iconic, I'm sure you shunned me this up at all.

Surely it won't look like his crickety little penis that we've all come to know and love. So then Linda is like, are not Bob Mollie? He's like, what's the favorite? I'm out of nowhere. Linda likes Bob Marley. I love her life.

Like in Linda, just chilling on the beach with her husband, laughing, listening to Bob Marley music, you know? Exactly. And then the sketch for her Bob Marley cake is like a weird like, like Aqua tie dye Bob Marley thing that's like just some strange like under the sea version of Bob Marley. Yeah. Okay.

Just trippy. So that was exciting. Let's see. For a... No. No. Bristol at Linda's and it was like, is all that alcohol there for pru? I love the pru, it's like a secret drunk on the track.

I'm Johnmin, Johnmin, I'm calling it Johnmin with you. So the Laura's plan is that she wants to make Freddie Mercury and receive the design for it. And before even the final outcome, the design looked like a Fisher Price toy. Like Fisher Price with buck teeth. I was like, no, no, this is not going to be good. It's like, well, Freddie Mercury had lived longer. Maybe he would have become the Dunkin' Donuts guy.

You know, like time to make the donuts. Maybe he would have become an animal crossing character. Yeah. So, Laura's like, well, you know, the last one that I did, I did the head exploded, but you know should work out well this time So then we go check on the raya and she's like my favorite is a poem Poet and I'm going to make a flavors of Jamaica tribute to mislew and we see a picture of mislew and she's like I've practiced multiple times my first attempt looked like doby and she's like I practice multiple times my first attempt look like doby so that's a problem

so now surah is gonna be doing so david attenborough and no knows like well he's a lad isn't he yes he is a lad and all goes have you met him she goes no course I'm not met him he's like I have I've texted him I sure need you. Shut up, stop teasing me. He's like, people won't mind if you get, if people won't mind if you get it wrong, but the animal kingdom will be furious with you.

There will be wolves, jirbles, momma sets coming for you. Well, last time I checked the animal kingdom didn't have to wait three weeks for a tin. But Suras would have arrival and then we go into the senior citizen section of this. So everybody else is just making really old people. Are we? Are we just going to overlook the spice girls? Like, do we not even have a ginger spice? It's like literally her name is made for this competition. Ginger spice, a ginger cake of ginger spice. Why do we not have that? Like I did a Spice Girls, they're literally Spice Girls. Why, why is it long?

So Sarah is gonna do Charles Darwin. And, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Ann Burrow, you're right, yes. And then Mark does Darwin. A Spice Ginger Sponge of Charles Darwin. Don't let this be. We knew that would inevitably come in life. Yeah. So then Lottie's here was alive, but doesn't look like it. And she's brought school molds with her. Yes.

And she's like, well, you know, all you really have to do is use the school because that's the thing that facial features go on top of She's right. She's right. I thought that was actually really smart. Lottie good one for Lottie. Yeah, good. Lottie She's doing Louis Thoreau By the way, the Beatles Rolling Stones not doing well in this challenge. I mean not even Sir Paul. I mean, I was like really I know But we're Americans so we you know maybe that's like them. What about you?

Oh can we go to an in and out? You know maybe that's there where like where's Aaron John? Shut up. So Rowan, he's like I'm going to make me queen, queen Mary and Twonette. That's what I'm going to make with shoe buns for her hair. And then he's like, they're like, okay cool on their leave and he's like, oh, I'm just laughing at myself, I must be completely mad, I'm completely bonkers, who went to Rotman

would just laugh and then he just pulls up a teacup out of nowhere to drink from it. He's always carried a teacup nearby. He always has a direct cup. But Peter is taking a more simple approach. And he's chosen some bicyclists. Chris Hoey. Sir Chris Hoey. I guess Princess Diana was too obvious. What the fuck?

I mean, Sir Chris apparently he must be a famous bicyclist, Olympic bicyclist because they all seem to know who he was I'm like yeah, not lady die. That's not lady Diana, okay? Can you even get a mega markle out of you people? Come on. I mean what about I don't know like Queen Elizabeth, you know, she's only like a living icon. Okay, make a kick No one's into it And Paul's like well, that's clever way to get away with not doing hair or eyes I don't really know how to do hair so I chose to cover it up and also I don't know how to do eyes

So I'm going to cover it up basically I did he looks like he's eating gluten all right He's lost all of his hair and his eyes That's it. I'm sticking to it Well originally it was supposed to be Emma Thompson, but then I realized I didn't know quite how to do her hair So I put on a helmet and guess what she turns into a circus Using fondant will allow them to craft skin and hair and then we see two big ears sitting there and And an old goes up to David and he's like, this is Prince Charles then.

And David's like, actually, it's Tom DeLong. Are you familiar? Blink 182 and Noel's like, I guess I hate. Okay, he's like, are you a fan of that music and he's like, yeah, I totally am. I was like, really, Bl. He was like really blinking money to you from 20 years ago. Yeah and he was like do you know what music mat likes Roger Whitaker. He's like you don't like him he's like no black Sabbath. So then Hair Mine is doing La Pita. Oh yeah. I was like, ooh, this seems to have so much promise.

I was really excited by this, but, you know. Didn't work out great. Didn't work out great. Didn't work out great. We should also mention that amongst all this that Irish Mark dropped his sponge on the fridge. I was like, way to go. I mean, like the simplest thing you have to do

is put a cake on a shelf. Okay. Yeah. So she is doing, she's brought two realistic looking eyeball things with her, which is terrible. I was like, I don't know if I want eyeball realism, I'm like, it's like not what I need right now. And then Mac is back into senior land with Bill Bryson, an author I've admired for decades. He's like, I don't know Bill Bryson is. I don't either, but he's like, I love Bill Bryson. I've thought of him so many nights. I know, Ev, I've just stared at this picture so much.

I know every wrinkle, nook and cranny, studying his face for ages. It's like, okay, okay. Back to beekeeping creep. I guess Daniel Day Lewis is not available. Okay, fine, we'll go and buy Bryson. This is like, this is turning into that movie where they just turn old people into soyling green.

I mean, how many old people are we gonna eat in this episode? Yeah, I like, they're obsessed with these old celebrities. I mean, listen, old celebrities are great. We love, we love some old celebrities. But if you're gonna do the old celebrity route, I mean, hello, Maggie Smith. Hey, listen, I'm no spring chicken. Yeah, I'm no spring chicken.

Where's the Maggie sprang? Where's the gas is out, I'm happy. That's what I like to know. Why is there not a single down-navied? Where's Pat, she's known from absolutely fabulous. Hello. I'm no spring chicken, so I'm gonna move there and try and become famous now,

because I'm good at it for it. They love old people there. John Cleese. What about John Cleese. What about John Cleese? What about Renee Zelliger? Technically not British, but she played a Brit. Not old enough. Sorry. Apparently. What about Mr. Bean? Mr. Bean. That's actually, you know what, I think Laura midway through when Freddie Mercury wasn't working out. I think she said it's Mr. Bean. Yeah, she's so though. It's Mr. Bean.

So next up, things aren't going so well. It rowing his salon. And of course, his shoe were flat. The little balls are just flat. That happened. Yeah, he's got flat shoe. And he's like, no, they're going to be like, how wacky. Who would do such a thing to flat-nushroom?

Who? And now my favorite part of the episode, the part where the strain is taking its toll on the sponges, and now they're actually building their bus. And this is where Laura's Freddie Mercury had just like falls off its pole and loses its basically the entire bottom half of his job. And it's just like everything is going wrong. Mark's falls over. Linda's... Linda's was actually like shaped.

Linda's was shaped, but it looked like a giant like sea creature. Yeah, I like tears, but of course I'm partial to Linda. And Linda's like, oh, amazing, that Tom Flauss, when you haven't fallen. And Lottie, Lottie's like, he, amazing, I turned flaws when you happened to fall in. And Lottie, Lottie's like, he said they were having fun. Lottie's was terrifying. It was like this pale skull that it looked like it was like a white walker. So, he was like, what? He was like, get away everyone. And then I was like, Lottie, is that the cream reaper? Which is like, rude.

And now Laura's head, the Freddie Mercury head. So it's missing everything below the mouth. So it's just like this little ball with like, buck teeth at the bottom of the body. Just sitting there on the table, I was like, thou, it should, Mr. Bean, we brand this, we brand this Mr. Bean right now. Yeah.

So, Hermine is making her, and she's like, so embarrassing making babies on national television. She's making booze. And then David Attenborough. So, I was like, he looks absolutely knackered poor David. But done to David. So we got again, Laura's had.

Laura. Yeah. And look by the way, Laura is Laura. Laura is. So, she's making this way, Laura has Laura, Laura is, so she's making this poet and they cut to it and it looked like ET. I was like, oh no, why are you turning this name? Beloved poet into ET.

It was like, it literally was like when ET was in the basket. I was like, no. Every head is crazier than the one made in before. And Mark's, and Mark's David Bowie looked like Chuckie Disaster yeah, and Sora is helping Laura put her is they're like you have to because her head ends up falling off onto the table So I call my god go fix it go fix it So yeah, so it goes in there to health and they're all trying to help. And then she ends up just getting a roll of pastry bags and putting it behind. And she's like, I'd popping bags, and that just looks like he's on a travel cushion.

That's because Sora starts to fall over after they leave the tent. Once they're all done, they have to like get the rolling things under it. Oh, yeah. And then, sorry, so it's Atma who's on the... It's Edinburgh, but there were issues with Freddie Mercury. They're trying to get a poll and everything and then David Bowie ultimately what when you finally see David Bowie when it's finally finished I was like I think that's the maid from different strokes. I think that's Pearl It looked exactly like Pearl to me. Oh God

So then we go to judging and Rowan is first with his Marie Antoinette. And so he did a pretty good job. He used his kind of paper. Did he use the hair? He said a really rice paper. He said it was rice paper. I think he said rice paper. Yeah. His turned out really, really nice. And he said, well, the shoe bones would disaster. But I guess anyone could see that was coming. Because it was crazy. And then Paul was like, it looks beautiful now. Let me just slice her through the face. I know.

So crazy. They actually cut away, which was kind of funny. I think they had to cut away because it was probably too visceral, because it was like it was a great face. Yeah. So then we have Ladi's Louis Thoreau and Prusa. Oh, it's a slightly anxious look and a very, it's very Louis Thro, very, very Louis Thro.

I was like, also just like Gary, it's bone dry, Paul. Yeah, and Mac, Bill Bryson, which is Mac, it's Bill Bryson. Yeah, Prusa, well this is obviously Bill Bryson. I was like, is it? It looked like Bob Balban with the flu. Yeah, and then Lynn Linda

Linda's Bob Marley. I thought was really cool. I mean she didn't get eyes and everything on it But it looked like a statue kind of like a tie-died statue version of him Yeah, sort of and pause like what I want to mouth I mean he's known for his mouth. So why can't we have a mouth? But it's delicious. So she redeemed herself. She was in the bottom, but he said it was delicious. So we knew Linda would say. Yeah. And then in honor of Sir Chris and who's this? Peter. This is Peter. It was cool. It was cool. Yeah. Because the it was sort of like it wasn't just like a bust It was like it was like like and it actually looked like a proper bust It didn't look like a crazy like a claymation thing from the 80s. Yeah, for all the Americans out there it was very

Speed racer right very speed racer. Yeah, mm-hmm, and it was delicious and they thought it was very witty I also I thought it was a great cake Yeah, and then David is next. The three flavors of Tom DeLong. Oh no, God. It actually looked to me what I think, what I would imagine a Blink-182 band member would look like 20 years later.

Yeah, melted. It's basically like Tom DeLong turns into Adrian Maloof. What a thing. Who's horrifying? And he had that hat. The hat was cool, but it's just like just like rumpled. Yeah, melted face. It's not good.

And it was so prupyced into it and it's like, hmm, toothpastey. And then you're like, well, maybe she'll like something else in there. It's like, hmm, and very chemical. It's like, oh, no, sorry, David. He's like, I should have gone with my chemical romance. So steep it. So then Ziggy, Ziggy Marley, and David Bowie. Yeah, I mean, sorry. Ziggy started us. Yeah. So prude, what is wrong with me? I think I'm about to follow over this. What else is happening with cake? So prude's about to fall over this springberry bottom like wow.

What else is happening with Kate? So it turns out Ronnie is a soft sponge and he is struggling. I'm wrong the middle guy. Sorry, I'm wrong. His structure is struggling. He's about to fall off his pole. So it's like that's as far away from David Bowie's

you can get. He's like, we're not drunk of the hot bride. This is smart with the seat. It was like literally so non-David Bowie. It was like this big eggplant-shaped face. Like this is like jowls. It was like when I got my wisdom teeth out, that's exactly how my face looks.

It was like so the opposite of it. It was hilarious. And then the ode to Lupita by Hermione. Yeah, it's just like, I got I wanted. I was rooting for this cake. We all were rooting for this cake. They kind of cracked up at the cake because the face looks so crazy.

But then she did an amazing job with the texture of the clothes. It looks like real fabric. So they're like, well, you're working with that is amazing. So I felt like the Lupita cake looked like someone that you work with in like accounting who always has a story to tell you from the weekend. Like you go by her desk, she's like, oh well, I have a story to tell you from this weekend.

You're like, okay. Those like ruffles, sir, it's like off the shoulder. You're like, why are you even wearing that to work? She walks by, and she walks by her desk. She says, busy. Don't look like it. She's walking. That's what I can't look like. It was saying. So then we see a coconut buttercream, dal win. I thought that looked cool because it was like a proper bus. It looked stone. I thought that was like a really good work around for having to do some of the details, you know? Yeah, that one was good, but then we go to Lurea's,

ma-ma-ma, her flavors of Jamaica. And she's put a lot of chili, and when they showed her baking this, she takes like a huge, huge lump of ginger, like, you know, the match ginger. And it's just like, well, she's like, it's gonna taste really good, I'll make this all the time. I was like, you know, the match ginger. And it's just like, well, it's gonna taste really good. I'll make this all the time. I was like, no.

I feel so bad for her neighbor on the other side of that big events. Look, I'm just probably on the receiving end of some really terrible things. I'm glad that so many people in that neighborhood worked for the NHS, because you know that bitch got leaky gut. So the chili was too strong and so is the ginger and also the cake

it looked crazy like all the other cakes. And then we get to Surah's David Attenborough and Paul's like well he's reclining because he's basically just like back like this. Yeah. Fallen over before. And Surah's like well he's taking a nap you know sort of like the delivery system when they were delivering my tin taking a nap for three weeks. And then we see Freddie Mercury when they were delivering my tin taking it up for three weeks Mm-hmm And then we see Freddie Mercury and they just all crack up at it And Laura's like it was going so well and then the head exploded again

But they love it. They said it was really good They said the issue is that because the the sponge was so moist which is why Freddy's head was Squashed. Yeah, and she's so happy to just not have a bland cake So then the decision has been made so Matt has the rather pleasant job of announcing this week star baker McCurley Conkin P. Turn he's like, I've never been happier. Oh, thank you so much I'd like to thank my mother my father. I'd like to say, I hate you, Gleefton, I hope you die! She had a lot to thank the Badminton Association of Great Britain, also known as Bagabe. And who's out?

Oh, right. Yeah, I mean that was she was a disaster and every the bubblegum cake The ET cake it just was not gonna. Yeah, I didn't have a great week So she's you know this shows so sweet like she takes it really well And she's like well, I did really well getting here. So, you know, I'm proud someone has to go Yeah, and pause like it's too bad because I saw great potential and I wanted to help her and say things like, don't put bubble gum flavor on that cake or don't put cream soda flavor on that cake or don't put chili in that cake or don't put ginger on that cake but unfortunately I couldn't. I just had to suffer.

Yeah, and then Rowan goes over to Pete and he's like, I said I was putting my money on you. I didn't see that. You see that? That's so Rowan. He's like, I will take you under my wing, little twink. I will show you the ways. Yeah. And then Pete calls home and everybody's all happy.

And that's what a cute show. I know it's so lovely. Loved it. We'll be back next week to recap the next episode. I think that once the number of people on the show go down, then the episodes won't be as long. They're 10 minutes shorter. I looked at the season before.

This one was a little long, but they're usually about 10 minutes shorter, but... Okay, well that 10 minutes makes a difference. On this show it does. It's a bit of a show. It's a part of our time. Well, I had fun talking about it. Me too. makes a difference. On this show it does. Some hours are coming. It's a pretty good one on this show, of our time. Well, I had fun talking about it. We do. Everyone, we'll be back. Our next great British Bake Off recap will be next Wednesday.
