I hate being one of those 'it was better back then' types but I am rewatching a bit of the Great British Bakeoff S1, and ugh, I miss this version of the show
Like, the challenges & standards are at an actual realistic level for the stated brief of 'amateur home baker', they're not being expected to have skill levels that exceeds the average professional pastry chef.
The judges are nicer and more down-to-earth (even Paul!), the hosts are ACTUALLY THERE TO SUPPORT THE CONTESTANTS, not just gurn for the cameras and pop up to say weird 'silly' comments until the contestants look uncomfortable.
instead of tacky costumed skits & non-sequiturs, there's an interesting segment with one of the hosts talking about the history of a baked good...
THE TECHNICAL CHALLENGE ACTUALLY GAVE THE TEMPERATURE AND BAKING TIME, not just 'figure it out lmao'
#the great british bakeoff#gbbo#i haven't seen the absolute newest season so hopefully that host is better but stiiiilll

it feels nice to have people be mad on my behalf about something. like the great british bakeoff mexican food episode for example. get to reserve my anger and redirect it towards something else.

This is the most I have ever seen everyone collectively lose it at a technical task and it is ALL PAUL'S FAULT.

We have GOT to stop with the kink at pride arguments like we have kink at the Great British Sewing Bee now find something else inane to fight about
#if you've never seen it it's like the great british bakeoff but for sewing#this season has asmaa (will most likely win unless she fucks up majorly I'm only on ep3) and matthew (has not got through a single episode#without putting a harness on something. also made something the colours of the trans flag and was clear about the fact)#edit that for some reason I called matthew william. unsure where I got that one from

"WHAT did y--?"
The kitchen is a cacophony of smoke, baking powder, and the grumble of abused appliance motors.
"What wartorn hellscape did I just saunter into...? Hold on, is that....?"
The Master points at a big fuming glass bowl spattered with cake guts.
"WAS that...a mixer?!"

We don't need the increasingly abstract and tone-deaf themes to keep The Great British Bake Off interesting, it's okay to return to the classics, I'd be just as happy watching them make a caterpillar cake
#woes of emily#infact. i would absolutely love to watch them make a caterpillar cake#that's the authentic British experience right there and i think it's an oversight that they've never set it as the task#and hearing the birthday traditions of other countries is so enjoyable. like that ice cream pussy cake or whatever in the US#I'd love to have that conversation with you all#they just. misunderstand what people want out of bakeoff tbh#gbbo#the great british baking show#the great british bake off#also. 45~ minute live-blogging warning - it's bakeoff night

Basque cheesecake from the Love to Bake Great British Baking Show cookbook. The cake has cherry soaked raisins to add an extra kick to the traditional cake. The dough is coming up very high during baking and even after it is very light and fluffy.

complicated baking and speedrunning are similar in my head and the main reason for that is "this method is so goddamn specific and the margin of error is so goddamn high, how the FUCK did anyone figure out how to do this correctly."
#sye's babbles#like i will watch great british bakeoff occasionally#and sometimes the thing they're baking in a technical is like#'how the fuck did anyone ever invent this recipe. how many failed experiments did this take to perfect.'#and likewise with speedrunning so many of the gamebreaking things you have to do are so exacting that i just#'you must have combed the game's code for 200 hours to figure out how to do this one specific thing. this is nuts.'

Michael Sheen giving his signature heart eyes when Paul Hollywood compliments his biscuits is everything I needed today.
