What's for certain is that this season of The Great British Baking Show is the best in recent memory. Go to Full Review Chris Murphy Vanity Fair 10/12/2021
The world is scary enough; I don't need my heart racing with worry about whether someone's seven-tier cake that must double as a functioning arm chair will collapse... We need to go back to the show's original recipe-equal parts aesthetic and taste. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

01/10/2022 Just as charming as always See more 12/05/2021 2021 Season was the best in many years. All the contestants were engaged, interesting people. I wish they had let the final four into the final. But the finalists were all excellent and obviously really liked each other. Why oh why must we endure Noel? It's painful. He's not funny. He's like a black hole sucking up attention and distracting the bakers. Please dump him. See more valarie b @ValarieB 10/29/2021 We watch this every year. Love Paul, Pue and Noah. Still trying to get use to the new guy ( bald + forgot his name). We choose a contestant each right before the first judging. I have the Italian. My companion had the Germany. Wish us and them luck.
