Great British Bake Off Finalists Answer Fan Questions

[@zsong9600]

One of the things I love about the Great British Baking show is that they are all civil to one another and actually support each other. Something the cooking shows and competitions in the states should do but don't because of the idiotic people that design such shows over here. They don't care about the cooking they just care about ratings and conflict, it's really a shame.

[@krisekidd]

Yes! I say this all the time. In America they make villians... But this show they are kind to each other.

[@CJ-im2uu]

R Painter I stopped watching Project Runway for one of these reasons. If I wanted all the MEAN GIRL drama in the workroom, I’d go back to teaching JH and volunteer for lunch duty.

[@positivevibrations6110]

As an American, this is the ONLY show I would enter. NICE people; to each other; NICE!! Compare it to "Master Chef" or others; MEAN!! I would have to learn "sponge" and other UK regional specialties though.....

[@burrichgrrl57]

R Painter Me too. I'm always impressed by how much they support each other. There is such empathy in that tent. They seem to have as much anxiety about the other's judging as they have about their own. Such nice people and such diversity there too.

[@guessmyname6210]

You're so right. I love that they support each other.

The only thing I don't like about the show is they don't air condition the tent let them be judged on their best work

[@kathysalvemini3558]

I have to completely agree with you....no AC? C'mon people! The best bakers in the world are baking in the most suitable conditions....not fair!

[@itsrainy8881]

You do have to remember they are filming a show, ACs and fans are loud and don’t make good tv

[@jadesmith5802]

Its also the UK and we don’t really have AC here cause there’s not always a lot of point

[@kcanded]

Why not just let them cook inside? in a very large kitchen, air-conditioned?

[@potatocorners]

At this point, it’s part of the show now, coping with the British weather, whether it be chocolate collars on a hot day, or spun sugar on a really muggy day. Also, saves the environment, or something to that effect. :P

[@bribright5275]

I was so upset when Manon left because the next week was French pastry and I knew she would have killed it

[@CJ-im2uu]

There should be a season where the contestants are those who lost in the first episode of each of the previous seasons.

[@psychedelikat]

I have thought the same thing. It's been ten seasons now, enough for a good ten-episode series.

I think the first year's first exited contestant has died- he reminded me of Alfred Hitchcock actually. Can't remember his name.....

I follow him on Instagram. He's such a sweet guy.

[@DM-cu5hp]

A person can be both sassy and sweet! And, GIRL. I was living for that subtle tea he served when asked what Paul Hollywood is like off-camera...THAT KILLER DEADPAN STARE. I was living for it. lolol

[@jaymanuel3396]

@@JustAnotherPerson4U Not sure. He doesn’t come across as mean at all. He has a good sense of humor. I think the contestants, have created this intimidating character, in their minds. I sometimes find Prue more mean!

[@KaylaRene]

Buzzfeed has been around for how many years, and they still can't turn the background music down? I'm just trying to focus on the actual content.

[@hells-bells900]

Someone cant edit correctly. I'm a novice at editing but its really not hard.

[@arothmanmusic]

I suspect they don’t mix and test on consumer speakers/headphones and are making incorrect assumptions about the way it’s going to sound. They probably don’t listen to it on an iPhone speaker, for example. Definitely not helpful.

[@stopthenames]

I think it's an American style for music to in the background all the time. Sadly it's getting more prevalent here in the UK. Just turn it off, I can keep my focus going without it and still be entertained. But at the least turn it down.

[@robertschwartz4810]

When the background music is not in the background, but just as loud as the people speaking, it makes it difficult to hear what the interviewees are saying.

[@northern_angel7996]

Robert Schwartz well said👍🏼

[@charlotteanderson7678]

I love kim joy so much. Her bakes were always sooo cute

[@potatocorners]

The moment they start offering prize money’s the moment the show jumps the shark and turns into any old vicious reality cooking competition. I pray that never happens.

[@PloverBones]

Me too

[@lottie6723]

they couldn't on the BBC so let's hope nothing changes on channel 4

[@sailorarwen6101]

I thought that was so funny when I found out their prize was just a cake stand. I was like, you’d think the contestants would be more laid back and just have fun with it. Once you’re on the show you’ve gained some notoriety.

Kim-Joy and Manon, I am so happy to see this video and know what you have been up to! I am glad to know that you are still baking and following your bliss. I must get your cookbook, Kim-Joy! I am so happy you wrote one. I could never make the bakes look as perfect as you do, but hopefully I can make them taste as well. Now if only I could get your autograph on my cookbook...😊

[@sightofthesuns]

[@stephaniedaphne7464]

Kim-Joy was robbed! She should have won! Everything she does is filled with so much love and I just love her so much

[@haybuhayko]

I think she kind of flubbed the showstopper. Considering her whimsical bakes coming into the showstopper, it was kind of a let down. Rahul was consistently good, and that's why he won.

[@stephaniedaphne7464]

Anna Burgess her final showstopper was amazing! I’m a classicist so I automatically loved it, but there was so much time and effort put into it, she even put the Ancient Greek for Atlantis on there! She seemed to be on top a lot, but to me Rahul was just kind of there every week..

[@patricias5122]

@@dontsubscribe7422 I'm glad someone else saw through all that phony, fake depression that Rahul kept mouthing off. That was a disgrace, the way he was given an extra 15 minutes and then...surprise! won.

[@SG-ji2xk]

@@patricias5122 He had a technical difficulty and that is why 15 minutes were granted to him. Not because he was nervous or anything. And they absolutely loved his cake. And to be honest, I love Kim Joy’s perfection and attention to detail. Even in her showstopper, she did really good with those corals and everything. But did you see Rahul and Ruby’s showstoppers? Kind of intricate details they had shown were amazing. That was a showstopper and it is supposed to be extra and out there and Kim Joy’s idea was amazing but just not to the par with Rahul and Ruby’s idea. I guess they were just fair.

[@SG-ji2xk]

@@patricias5122 ummm not cool to call it “phony, fake depression”. Some people are just nervous wreck. I haven’t been on a baking show but I’m a pharmaceutical scientist and in school we used to make 2 formulations in 3 hours without any procedure given to us for our lab finals ( much like baking, since we weight, mix, sometimes use heat etc.) i have seen so many students like Rahul who didn’t have any confidence. But that’s the way some people work. That’s not fake!
