Fizzzzle Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 They really did manage to get all of the cheap thrills of reality television without all of the toxic bullshit that almost always accompanies reality television. There really is nothing else like it. God fucking forbid they ever make an American Baking Show. It'll have a bunch of knock off super models saying "I dIdN'T cOmE hErE tO mAke FrIeNdS, I cAmE hEre tO wIn" and be sponsored by Raid: Shadow Legends.

Honestly, I started watching it during lockdown because I was making fucking sourdough and shit just like everyone else, but the show actually became one of my favorite shows. Even though I haven't touched an oven in 3 years except for heating frozen pizzas (lockdowns were almost 4 years ago now, fuck your brain's sense of time) Seriously, though, the show takes everything you like about reality television (competition, heightened drama, confessional cameras), but the people are just... normal people. Rather than have the one token ugly person for ugly-people representation every year, it's kind of the opposite. They have the one conventionally attractive person every year, and sometimes that person doesn't make it very far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU FUCKING DONUT seriously though, watch British Bake Off if you're ever having a bad day. It's the most wholesome reality show there is.

gamer.tv Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I stand by Great British Menu is the greatest cooking programme ever made and completely eclipses Bake Off. For other programmes you may like of this is your jam, try Come Dine with Me or if you love wholesome and don’t mind crying, The Repair Shop.

TheLeon Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I have a fundamental dislike of all reality shows, but I kinda liked the two episodes of this that I saw. So that’s something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a nice escape for a brief bit. Should rewatch it now that I think of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
