I don't feel like Paul hollywood was born. Feels more like he was spawned. Just spat out of the ground one day to plague the land with his smugness

[delilah-briarwood]

Do you think Paul Hollywood knows how much people fucking despise him?

[dandelioncasey]

Every season of GBBO be like:

Must make bread/cake/biscuits that are tasty (but they can't have any flavours that I personally do not like even if everyone else in the tent likes them)

Must be able to bake something perfectly every single week (with no instructions and half the time any decent competition would give you and also you've never heard of it before)

"Here's what we want them to make this week" (describes every single bit of it wrong in the most pretentious way possible (yes I'm still pissed about the fucking s'mores description and I will fight everyone about it))

Feel free to add more if you have any!

You know what? No.

There's something about this season that I thought at the start but writ off as a conspiracy theory. After the latest episode, and the pure rage I feel?

Nope. It's gotta be true.

The Great British Bake Off is trying to get another scandal so people will talk about it's episodes.

GBBO as a series has always been one of emotions. Joy, fear when you're favourite is in danger and sadness when they leave, but mostly warm fuzzy feelings.

Twice this season at least I and several others have been left feeling enraged and injustice at what occurs in the tent. From Abbi leaving when Dan served RAW, CARDBOARD LIKE DOUGH, to this weeks departure.

Remember: one of the big things they hyped up in the Episode 2 teaser was biscuitgate, which turned out to not be a big deal - they swapped back and it was fine. Abbi would leave the next episode despite the injustice mentioned above. Tasha would then fall ill a couple episodes later - I do not believe this was planned and genuinely believe the conditions in the tent were so appalling that they let her get to that state. That alone sickens me.

And then you have puddinggate this week. Everyone has been crying for weeks that the technicals needed more time, and this week is just the climax of it. Raw pudding that the judges refuse to eat, and will refuse to fix for next week and beyond.

You know what I predict?

The finale will occur. And the winner will be someone nobody expected, because someone else will do really well in the finale and make it seem like they'll win -

only for someone else to.

That way, people will talk about the show. Because it's no secret that less people are watching and reviews are dropping. But scandals? Scandals are publicity. Make the show seem interesting. Make it seem more marketable to those who watch reality TV like Love Island, I guess.

And sure, typing this out now, it still seems like a conspiracy theory. That I'm being silly and that it's just a baking show, so why should I care?

Because I've loved this show for years. When it's good, it's really good! It's known for being wholesome, and showing how good the British public can be during a time when you absolutely hate them (which is... all the time when you're Cornish and hate tourism) as the bakers help eachother out.

But you don't get that anymore. It's soulless.

And like Paul Hollywood himself would say:

"It lacks direction."

[i-like-rocks22]

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

[adventurous-nerd]

Thanks Pru, for offering constructive feedback where Paul just goes 'Don't like it.'

[perpetualsarcasmmachine]

How many "your flavors are unusual" stamps go on the card before you get a free microaggression?

[ragtag-band-of-murderers]

Paul you look ridiculous, leave Matty's cherries alone

[shortfatbitch]

Someone needs to look Paul Hollywood directly in the eyes when he complains about the inclusion and/or exclusion of flavors that don't meet his personal tastes and respond "Don't yuck my yum."

I'm pretty sure that would actually make his head explode which would ruin some perfectly nice baked goods, but it would make my day.

[bottlesandbarricades]

I feel like Janusz has low-key stopped giving a fuck about this nonsense competition

[listen-to-the-inner-walrus]

pauls constant crusade for everything to be uniform is just so annoying. like we get it, mate, youre simping for capitalism. shut up about it and leave mattys cherries alone

[dogthemaverick]

I'm glad Rowan is sensible enough to not let that man into his property

[delilah-briarwood]

“You can’t have Mr Hollywood disappointed again” OH FUCK OFF, PRUE

[dandelioncasey]

Honestly sod a handshake from Paul Hollywood I want a hug from Noel Fielding
