Any GBBO fans? I'm super excited for the new series. For US watchers, it premieres on Friday on Netflix. For UK it airs today. I'll be watching on Netflix. Maybe people watching can spoiler anything about winners if posting before Friday?

I turned on the first season on Netflix last night because I just needed something joyful. I also read an article about how they filmed the newest series and all of the precautions they took. They had everyone stay in a hotel together for 6 weeks and even had childcare for contestants' children if they needed to bring them along

Crap. I was very much so looking forward to getting myself a very large latte and snuggling in to watch it on Friday while the big kids are in school and the toddler was napping, but we have plans with my mom. Maybe I'll save it for next week and have two hours of comfort during her nap.

Yes! I’ll be trying to track it down so I can watch it this weekend. This show is exactly what my 2020 needs.

The latte idea was a fantastic one. I dropped the kid off at school, swung by Starbucks and sat down to enjoy the first episode today.
Who else is ready to discuss the showstoppers?!

I'm going to Netflix party the first episode tonight with my BFF. Did Netflix release the entire season at once, or will it be week by week?

Watching now... really intrigued that they are all quarantining together. Does that include judges, anyone know?
And secondly- I adore marzipan! Is it different in England? Why don’t any of them like it??

Watched last night! I’m liking the new host and the contestants. Sad about who went home. Can’t wait until Friday.

I am enjoying the new host so much more than I ever liked Sandi, but I am still very much so missing Mel & Sue. Also Mary Berry, but I do like Prue now that we're a couple seasons in.
I thought someone else should have gone home as well, but the preview here told me that they probably weren't and someone else was, so I was prepared.

I don't think Noel and Matt Lucas have the chemistry that he did with Sandi. Maybe it will build throughout the season

I have officially adopted Friday Latte Day where I get starbucks and sit at home on Friday mornings doing nothing but annoying posting on FB a picture of my Sbux cup.
Biscuit week was not my favorite probably because everything just looked like a hard rock the whole episode. Not terribly sad about who got sent home, but Rowan had better step it up because I heart him and don't want him to leave.

My favorite week is pâtisserie week where they all fail over things I am familiar with. The other weeks all seem impossible.

I watched the 2nd episode yesterday, and I thought the preview gave away who was going home, so I need to start skipping that.
I also like Rowan, and I hope that he can learn to scale back a bit.

Week 3 has brought me to these conclusions:
I like Noel. I like Matt. I do not like Matt and Noel.
I do not want whatever cream mixture that was, in my ear. Hard pass.

Noooo, Rowan.
That said, I was very happy for Mark this week. He did so well, I'm so pleased he walked away with star baker
