Amanda is a Met Cop. I’ve decided who I’m going to troll this year.

 

[moomoo]

Whoop whoop! When does it start?

21 Sept.

[Nine Bob Note]

Very late this year. I wonder if they're gonna be making xmas cakes/puds at some point?

 

[Epona]

A miniature zoo owner?

Do they mean a small number of animals? Or like a toy zoo?

The piece at the beginning was so irritating, unnecessary and pointless. From what I saw, Maggie is very irritating

 

[Saffy]

I'm not sure who I like yet. It's the same every year!

 

[Saffy]

Going to the shops to buy some malt extract though to make a malt loaf.

Guardian seems quite happy with it The Great British Bake Off 2021 review – joyous TV that shows no signs of staleness

Indeed. Nice to see Matt Lucas reprise his George Dawes routine from Shooting Stars around the Flintstones theme song in German though.

 

[Me76]

I find Maggie and Jurgen annoying but everyone else seems quite fun.

 

[Aladdin]

Paul Fucking Hollywood.
Really sick of him.

Already....

 

[Dovydaitis]

Can’t stand Flora or whatever the 19 year olds name is. Nauseatingly and sickly sweet

 

[MrCurry]

Watched episode 1 - Prue, Paul, Noel and Matt are jelling together much better now and it was all quite jolly and fun. I do wish they’d just bin the lame intros though. They add nothing.

 

[JuanTwoThree]

The Extra Slice is a better show.

 

[Saffy]

I thought Maggie was going to be better at baking. She showed promise earlier on. I'm not feeling this series yet.

I'm calling Giuseppe as the winner.

 

[Looby]

Yeah Maggie’s not great and I find her annoying. I’m keeping this to myself locally in case she ends up being their nan or something.

I like Freya, Lizzie makes me laugh but Giuseppe elll probably win. Crystelle could be really good though.

I have been left really wanting some focaccia and we have no bread in the house at all.

 

[Saffy]

I love Freya. Especially how she's getting the word 'faff' into most episodes.
Crystelle's roasted grape and feta focaccia looked delicious.

 

[Winot]

Freya, Lizzie and Jürgen are all hilarious. Maggie is annoying and Amanda charmless. Crystelle is

 

[spudulike]

Maggie is annoying because she should be able to bake the arse off most of the people in the tent but continues to disappoint.

My theory is her family is responsible as they haven't the heart to tell her she's been producing crap for decades so she believes she's a "traditional" baking goddess.

 

[hash tag]

Maggie is there to do her best as opposed to really really trying to compete and win, which is an entirely different thing.

 

[hash tag]

Maggie could be on her way today and Jurgen is having a blinder

 

[Dovydaitis]

oh Maggie!

Freya still winds me up

 

[Saffy]

I saw something just now about Jürgen reminding people of Winnie the Pooh.
I can see it!

 

[MrCurry]

I watched ep.2, biscuit week yesterday. Guess I’m a week behind.

For once the intro sequence almost hung together as a worthwhile idea, but still mainly just naff. The “furriners” Giuseppe and Jürgen seem the most talented ones. Someone senior in the production team making a point about Brexit perhaps?!

 

[Winot]

Every week is Brexit week.

 

[moomoo]

Felt so sorry for Maggie! Everything was terrible!

 

[Winot]

Felt so sorry for Maggie! Everything was terrible!

Even though she irritates me I have to admire her pluck. She’s quite a trooper.

I was quite worried about Freya at one point - I thought she was going to crumble.

Jürgen is back!
