Here's What The Cameras Hide On Great British Bake Off

“The Great British Bake Off” took the baking world by storm when it premiered on the BBC in 2010. Known for its witty banter between co-hosts, the friendliness of its contestants, the Paul Hollywood handshake, and, of course, incredible bakes, the show has become a hit not just in its native UK, but worldwide.
Twelve seasons in, and the show continues to raise the stakes on what’s possible with pastry dough, but what’s it like when the cameras aren’t rolling? If you’ve ever wondered who’s really in charge of baking all those technical challenge examples, stay tuned. We’re sneaking our way under the “Bake Off” tent: here’s what the cameras hide on “Great British Bake Off.”

What do you like the most about “Great British Bake Off”?

[@susanfarley1332]

Noel. He seems to be a very sweet man.

[@VeliMilan]

Camaraderie among contestants. Helping and supporting each others, rather than American contestant shows where it's absolute norm to trick, bully and backstab opponents. Also, judges and hosts are absolutely great.

[@AlanGoldwaser]

That it has given me a safe island during Covid and Cancer.

[@polaromonas]

The b-roll clips of the animals! I always look forward to seeing those cute birds and squirells!

[@fournierdon2172]

I no longer watch it as the things I DISLIKE most about "GBO" are the two clowns (not Paul or Pru) who add nothing and are just an irritation! I'm surprised neither of them have been punched in the face...or at least been told to "Bog off". Sue and Mel were so much better.

[@bethmorris3492]

I like this show because everyone supports each other and there is no drama. I get so sick of all the hate and back stabbing on other shows it gets so old. This is so refreshing and happy. I love to watch it.

[@RErnie-gv1hv]

No temper tantrums, no foul language, no throwing food, no camera hogging, and showing off.

[@jchow5966]

I love that the show is not about winning money. It is about teamwork and the love of baking. I just love it. It is very calming

[@Gazshadows]

Teamwork? 🤔 They are battling to be the sole winner of the Bake Off 😂

[@BaughbeSauce]

@@Gazshadows Yet they will STILL help one another. So many times a baker has been struggling and another baker stops what they are doing to help them or settle them. Because it isn't about winning. It's about going into a big tent to do what you love with a group of other people who love it, too. If you're the best, that's amazing! But that's not what it's all about. Something people here in America just can't understand: It isn't. All. About. You.

[@Gazshadows]

@@BaughbeSauce I get what you're saying but there are no teams in the tent. It's a competition to determine who the best baker is.

[@lizzyh4986]

I absolutely love this show. I love how positive and encouraging all the contestants are, I love the diversity of the bakers, and I particularly love how the show never highlighted Briony’s disability and even brought her back for the holiday episode and still never mentioned it!

this show got me through a HORRIBLE depression after losing my dad . It got me baking again which meant soo much to me.

[@RebeccaLynnMusic]

You have my empathy. I lost my mother. This show is a necessary crutch for my sorrows. I adore it.

[@jcinkc3]

I was on the Great American BAking show that was filmed in a tent in London. The production staff and those that made sure we had EVERYTHING we needed are the true work horses of the tent! As for the bakers, we just had to do what we loved most ( and not try to screw it up) Plus working around the producers, hosts, judges... there were roughly 35 people in the tent at all times. The editors really know how to do their magic... All in all, it was a wonderful experience and something I will never forget. Just follow your dreams and have fun!

[@debpabetz9730]

This may seem like a rude question, but it’s a very practical one. I’ve always wondered, if bakers are busy inside the tent for hours on end, where do they go to the bathroom? I hope they don’t have to walk back to the hotel each time since they’d be away from their baking too long, and I don’t think an outhouse would be sanitary enough when working with food. I’m just wondering because I am a senior citizen with bladder issues, but I love to bake.

[@jcinkc3]

​@@debpabetz9730 While filming, if we needed to go the the restroom, they would focus on other bakers and we would be escorted to the Manner house. They gave us many breaks since the filming could be 10-11 hours a day ( every other day) They gave us many days off to work on our recipes. Typically 1-2 days shooting and off a day sometimes off 2 days. In total it took a month to film the 10 episodes.

Ok, question - they always say the last challenge happens on the next day, but they're all still wearing the same clothes. why?

[@mattbosley3531]

What I enjoy most about the show, other than wanting to eat much of what they bake, is the sense of family that is engendered among the contestants, judges and hosts. It makes the program very fun to watch. Even though they're competing they support each other. It also teaches me things I didn't know about baking.

[@TonyaS]

It's awful that contestants were bullied online since they are some of the nicest people ever. That's why I love this show.

[@WombatMan64]

I was very apprehensive when I saw that title "bullying", and was all set to boycott the show (despite how much I enjoy it) if it was Paul or Pru or the producers or anything like that. Turns out it's where the bulk of this negativity comes from (the internet), and the showrunners and judges come out swinging in defence of the contestants. Made me like the show even more.

[@matthewiles5714]

I love the show because of comradely of the bakers, hosts and judges. Although the judges can be harsh with their constructive criticism they are never cruel. Although Paul’s expressions can make you think he is going to tear in to someone he is never mean or rude. I enjoy trying some of the things they bake. Thanks to the show I am a huge fan of British baking and am totally in love with it! As a matter fact I am considering attempting Viennese Whirls for our family Christmas party. And of course that Silver Fox Paul Hollywood is very nice to look at! I am a big fan of his!

[@emilytenbrink7721]

Such a great show! Many of my friends and family know it as my "comfort show" because I watch it whenever I need a positive pick me up, even if that means rewatching the same episode for the 20th time. It is refreshing to see a competition show where there is no negative drama, just people loving each-other and baking. I also love the "where are they now" segments at the end of each season because it shows how great the bonds are that people make in the tent.

[@alloralou4722]

I’m in the US where reality 🎉tv shows have become so bombastic I don’t watch too much. There always has to be some drama including screaming, backstabbing, tears etc., usually manufactured for viewers. Then I started watching Bake Off and it’s wonderful. No shouting, arguing and all that. They bakers help each other and encourage each other, they are kind to each other. I’d much rather watch a program like Bake Off. Even the hosts are all kind and you can see how it hurts them when they have to let a baker leave. I wish US tv programs were like Bake Off.

You should have mentioned in the spin off section, the fact that many other countries have developed their own version of the show. The Great Australian Bake Off (if you ignore an abysmal first season) is just as lovely and enjoyable. Matt and Maggie (a true Aussie legend) are great judges and the show is in a shed instead of a tent. The banter between Clair and Mel very much reminds of of the banter between Sue and Mel from the first seasons of GBBO. Long story short, I absolutely love both shows and hope they continue indefinitely.

What I’ve always liked about this show, and what brings me back, is that the bakers are always on a level playing field. The contestants know going in what they’ll be expected to bake, i.e., bread week, dessert week, and so on. There are no advantages that contestants can win, unsuitable partners aren’t forced upon them, and everyone can bake using the ingredients they wish to use. So, at the end we can be sure that whoever is crowned champion actually deserves it and did not win through luck. And all the bakers are true artists. Here in the US we’re treated to a game show atmosphere. Everyone is talented, but does the winner truly deserve it?

What does the GBBO really have that draws the viewers and TRUE fans? THEY ALL HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR!!! If none of these people had a sense of humor, they wouldn't be so friendly with each other, they wouldn't be able to make fun of themselves and laugh, they wouldn't be able to stand there and cry when someone leaves.......or clap their hands when someone comes back! Humor leads to the friendship, understanding, and love these people have with each other. They take life seriously, but they know life isn't a solid built road you travel on........it's got potholes, bumps, and cracks all over it. And you just deal with them as they come. If the people on this show didn't leave the audience laughing, loving, and hugging at the end of every show.........it wouldn't be the staple of awesome TV that it is.

I get the feeling Mashed has no idea who James Acaster is. Not even showing him in the celebrity bake off scenes but rather as a "cheeky" regular contestant. Also, very few chef hosts cook the food they present on TV.
