i'm watching right now. I'm excited about Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas together I'm trying to avoid spoilers but how are you watching? I am literally just watching the season finale of last year's season since CBC just aired it this month.

I'm really pleased the vegan baker is doing so well- that her recipes are so well received. I know the guy last year did some highly rated gf bakes too. As a df/gf person, I appreciate it.

The contestants this season are so good. There's not one out of the remaining bakers that I don't like. I do think Jurgen is my favorite overall though.

I have a podcast I love where they try the technicals and recap the show so I am getting such FOMO on the new season see new episodes pop up!

Do you not have Netflix? They're uploaded weekly on Fridays. not in Canada, which is annoying! ETA they have a deal with CBC and the finale to last season just aired 2 weeks ago here. So I think this season is set to air next fall as well. very behind.

melohdy, that show came up as a recommendation for me but I haven't watched yet - is it any good? I got home from AZ and spent my day yesterday jetlagging on the couch, catching up on everything including GBBO - and I squealed with delight when Paul offered a handshake. Love a Hollywood Handshake!!

Love a Hollywood Handshake!! It's super cheesy but the concept is fun. They pair bakers with professional engineers and come up with crazy challenges like building a robot that has to survive an obstacle course or a boat that has to sail a certain length of a pool

melohdy, ok but what's that got to do with baking? Are there no baking challenges?!

melohdy , ok but what's that got to do with baking? Are there no baking challenges?! The challenges combine baking and engineering - so the robot/boat/skyscraper has to be made out of edible materials and survive whatever challenge they're putting it up against. I just watched one where they had to make a skyscraper that was 5ft tall out of gingerbread, plus have two cake elements, plus survive an earthquake simulation.

Pro move today. I could not for the life of me remember who was sent home episode three, so I hopped on Wikipedia to check. Of course I forgot that the episodes air in the UK before they are on Netflix. So I went to check the results for a week three and saw the results for this coming Friday.
Then when I got home I decided to watch the end of episode three again, because I really couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t remember the week three person getting kicked off. That’s when I saw that I only watched half of it, and remembered that I got really tired halfway through, and decided to watch the rest later.
In the words of another baking show… Nailed it!

I have been rewatching the previous covid bubble season this week. When I re watched the first episode and they talked about that they all were living in a covid bubble it brought back so many emotions. I actually cried. So weird. Such a weird time and the feelings around it all pop up in so many unexpected ways.

This week has solidified for me that Giuseppe is the one to beat. I was so frigging chuffed to see Chigs get a handshake I tell you that!!! Was it this week or last? haha they're starting to run together in some ways.
I like all of the bakers, I wish they didn't have to be voted out, this week's departing baker was good, needs more time to perfect what they're doing, but dang. Glad they made it as far as they did!!

I wasn't happy with who was voted out, but I get it. {Spoiler}I think that George should've gone this week. His show stopper was raw in the middle but Freya's was just not pretty. But I get why they did it.

I would love to see the challenges go back to more technical bakes and less architecture and engineering.
I would love to see a Chigs/ Guissepe/ Jurgen final 3. I would be happy with any of them taking it all the way.

missmissy234, I don't disagree with you at all. I think he'll be next to go, he simply doesn't have the technical ability and when things go wrong - especially in the technical challenge, he gets flustered and cobbles something together but his heart doesn't seem in it. That's bothersome because this past week's baker really did love being there and doing their level best.

I feel like this week just showcased everyone’s talent and personality so well. It really emphasized how likable this cast is (I loved the star baker’s reaction to how well they did). Vague who went home spoilers… I was frustrated with who went home. The other obvious choice seems like they are going home soon, so I felt like it was sending home a contender who had a bad week vs. someone who I really like, but is not going to win[\spoiler]

I really loved this episode!! I teared up at star baker this week since that bake meant so much to that person.
I was OK with the baker that left the show this week and unless something crazy happens, I have a feeling of who will go next week. Those two have been at the bottom for the last couple weeks.

I thought the technical was super bitchy of Paul. Having to make their own phyllo dough?! Looks like most of the bakers rose to the occasion but I'd have just walked out lol
But the episode itself was delightful. Matt and Paul reacting to Prue's double entendre... I died.

I agree there was a good, light hearted vibe to this one. Not that they aren't all delightful, but this one was particularly good.
