The Great British Bike Off

[mjr]

In all of these type of shows, "the thing" in this case baking, but in others, house improvement, gardening, jungle survival or living as our ancestors did, becomes irrelevant. The production crew focus almost exclusively on how contestants react to "the thing". The media folk who produce these shows have no interest in 'the thing" and an obsessive interest in facial reactions, interpersonal relations, rivalries and generally stirring up trouble between the contestants.

In case anyone hasn't seen it:

Sue Perkins and the other one have quit. I bet the BEEB are putting a copycat show together right now. Names in a hat....

BAKE ON
BAC ON
BAKE OFF and ON again.

They think the whole idea is half-baked.

Maybe they think C4 will come to view it as something they're saddled with, especially now that Mel and Sue have quit.

Oscar Gatto is alledgedly interested in replacing Mel and Sue.

Mel will sue for loss of earnings.

I guess the wheels keep turning.

it's all sooooo yeastaday.

While I'm here....how does one pronounce 'artisanal'?

I've never seen it, and I don't know who the hosts are. Things are going quite well for me in that regard. But then I come home to find someone has bought broccolini! Two steps forward, one step back.
