Anybody else watch "The Great British Baking Show"?

[Liberal Veteran]

I absolutely adore this show. It is so calming for a competitive reality type show and everyone is just so polite and nice even when things go wrong.

1. I love it.

It seems with US shows like Top Chef, etc., they've just got to have one or two nasty people to keep things "interesting" and to "create tension." This is so much better, except I hate for anybody leave at the end of each episode because they're all so nice.

4. I watch it with my daughter. I enjoy it.

And compared to the baking shows here....no competition. That show makes the Food channel versions look like fallen soufflé.

7. Yes, love it!

The Amy Poehler/Nick Offerman summer show, "Making It," is quite the homage to the Great British Bakeoff/Baking Show, even down to contestants walking up to a kind of tent-looking structure to make things.

9. It's a British thing,

Even watching the US vs British version of Restaurant Nightmares. Gordon Ramsay hosts both shows, but in the British one he is a nice helpful person, in the FOX US version he is a mean yelling SOB.

10. I love this show, many more seasons available on YouTube

I think there are 8 seasons. Only 4 have been on TV here. Paul sort of plays the bad guy. (I loved the season with the woman who gave him shit.) I've not seen the new show (Paul went to commercial TV but none of the others went with him.)

11. Love that show

I appreciate especially that Paul and Mary are honest but kind in their opinions to the bakers.

12. I love it.

It seems to be authentic and everyone is nice and they are kind to each other. It is a relaxing show to watch.
