That focaccia was a crime against humanity. I still don't understand what happened.

I was very nervous when the Christmas one started and Noel wasn't there, but then they explained and I was like phew! Also interesting that Rahul made Noel's daughter's first birthday cake!

I think Rahul is the only participant that I truly don’t like. Could have done without him 🤷♀️

When he's narrating he's fine but I find a lot of his humor cringeworthy. Haven't started the holiday episodes yet but I definitely will.

Haven't started the holiday episodes yet but I definitely will. Matt was much better without Noel. And Noel was much better before Matt. They are horrible together.

I've been rewatching and Noel and Sandy were great together. And Sandy had such great empathy.

I am ITA about Matt. He drives me up a wall. I have always liked Noel, but I have more of an appreciation for his wacky humor after watching The IT Crowd on Netflix over the summer. He’s very zany, but I think he shows a humane side with the contestants.

I like Matt and Noel. They make me laugh, even though half the time it’s cringe wtf laughing.
I enjoyed the holiday specials! It was fun to see a lot of bakers I really remembered. I always liked Rosie especially. I couldn’t figure out when they were filmed though. Last year I guess? Odd.

Ahh. That makes more sense. I was curious, too. I think the holiday ones are filmed in the prior year while they start airing the "current" season a couple weeks after they wrap up filming. I know precovid, it was 10 weekends over the summer and currently, it seems like they're still doing the 10 weeks, but keeping them quarantined the entire time.
