12/29/2021 I have watched nearly every season and episode of this show and have found it, particularly during this pandemic, to be unusually a positive and uplifting part of this world, BUT sending arguably the best baker in the season home in the semi-final to keep the most incompetent begs credulity. Seriously, I have watched close decisions before but this wasn't one of those. Laura, at least from what the viewers were shown, should have been sent home many weeks earlier (is she someone's cousin?). It certainly made the final a bit of a joke, no matter how talented the two guys were. Like throwing Usain Bolt out of the Olympic finals. There is nothing Paul and Pru could say to support this ridiculous decision that wouldn't sound embarrassing. They lost all credibility here. Not sure how anyone with integrity or a heart can continue watching with the same enthusiasm or trust. Is one or both of them racist? I cannot fathom any rational way they could have done this and I am furious at such a betrayal of trust.

I think the Great Brits might have sniffed on "Nailed It" this season, as the contestants had to recreate their heroes in cake, and in doing so, created the most hilarious episode of this show...ever. I'd really love it if they had to bake more American dishes, because the Brits always throw poop at American pies, just like we think mincemeat is horribly disgusting.

It felt manic and chaotic, and what I like about the show is that is it usually has a relaxing vibe, even during the last 5 minutes of a challenge. The show has lost a lot a pinch of its sweetness, its gentle vibe. It was my go-to show if I needed to relax because it made me smile and I enjoy the cheerful look and vibe of the tent. 2020 felt somehow tense, forced and the comments and jokes did seem to center too much on sexuality, it felt like an out of control classroom. It used to feel more authentic, more genuine, now it feels a little forced. Like when a great show tries to bring in a new audience with a new vibe, or new rules but loses its old audience in the process. British Bake Off isn't there yet, but it is heading in that direction. I hope they pull it back, but the reigns on the tipsy horse, take some deep breaths, and realize that not all change is positive. See more Read all reviews
