The Great Kiwi Bake Off - General Discussion
Mellowyellow replied to Meredith Quill's topic in The Great Kiwi Bake Off
Really dislike the hosts on this show. I just couldn't get past how nasty they were too watch the entire season! Made it through 3 eps. -
International judges seem to dislike Alysa and give her piddly GOE. I'm not sure she'd be a safe choice for the team event. They've scored Mariah a lot more favorably in terms of GOE.

I hope they recast Samantha! Then I can treat it like a badly written AU Fanfic!
-
Lala lala if I don't watch it, the original still stands😅 Thanks for all the posts guys!!!!! It's made me dodge a bullet!!!!!!
-
I had to Google Nicole Ari Parker to check her age. I totally thought they cheated and cast someone a lot younger to play the character. She looks amazing!!!!
-
Haha I thought that was a great acting choice by SJP. She was clearly over Charlotte's self indulgent nonsense. I'm glad she expressed her rage, albeit in a very controlled mannered. I wanted to smack Charlotte so it was good to know Carrie was pissed too!

I love it! It's a little awkward in some parts and some of the writing choices are really strange (Miranda being so clueless and bumbling) but I'm so so so thrilled that it's back!!! I miss Samantha so much (she was my favorite by far) but it is what it is and I was happy with how they put it to bed with the flowers and card. There are so many shows these days but not many to my taste and despite it's imperfections I feel like this is a little bit for me as I adored the original and watched the entire series at least 3 times!

Nice interview with Jurgen. He seems to love Noel and Matt! The judges not so much! Interesting that he seems to enjoy filming in the bubble rather than going home. https://www.vulture.com/amp/article/great-british-bake-off-jurgen-krauss-elimination-interview.html

I love this show!!! My favourite version of the franchise this season! The contestants are lovely but Aimee is my absolute favorite. She's so talented and extremely competent!!! Love the judges. They've got a great sense of humour without being unkind. Bruno is very constructive but kind and I love Kyla's genuine joy and excitement with the bakes. I love that both judges can give honest feedback without being a$$es!!! Hands down the best hosts as well!!! Cheerful, competent, good at diffusing tension and are entertaining enough without any in-your-face obnoxious mugging. They remind me of Jesse on the Food Network who I also like for the same reasons.

Omg!!!! I didn't hear any rumours but I distinctly remember thinking (in a completely matter of fact way) during one episode as I watched those two: What good looking people with lovely features. Their kids would be gorgeous!
-
I really like the way Victoria portrays Love in their scenes. She wants to use him but I also get the vibe that he reminds her of Forty and she wants to take care of fun like she did Forty. Then there's the awkwardness because he keeps trying to flirt with her. Really good acting!!!

Question: Is judging in gymnastics generally non controversial? I'm a figure skating fan and there is usually a lot of drama with the judging and tech calls. There doesn't seem to be anything like that in Gymnastics at these Olympics. Is that the norm for this sport?

Rewatched Simone! Loved how a bunch of the other girls came to give her a hug afterwards and looked genuinely happy for her. It felt like they really wanted her to succeed and were completely invested in it. I just think it's so lovely! So darn wholesome and feel good!!! 🥰

I do too!!! I also say "Zzz is a bitch" even if it's a man. To me the word means a certain kind of mean spirited, pettiness so I use it for both genders.
-
The best thing was that she looked so happy!!!! I'm so happy to see Simone happy!!!! And Suni applauding her like a proud parent in the background after her dismount was all kinds of adorable 🥰🥰🥰

Were you expecting this guys?
-
I wanted Suni to get a gold the other night when she stepped up like a boss in the team competition. I didn't even know if she was competing for the AA!!!!
-
Omg!!!!! Go Suni!!!!!!
-
Was Suni a favorite to medal? Sorry I'm just catching up on all the goss 😅
-
Oh bummer so she can't get the gold?
-
I was so stressed before Suni started beam. She had the look that some figure skaters have before they go out and fall! But she stayed on!!!! Wooooohoooooo Can she win this thing? I don't know anything about anyone. Does she have enough base value to win after floor?
-
Rock solid!!!! I don't know much about her but I love the efficient, zen attitude. Is she going to be in the all round individual final?
-
I really like the balance so far. The show definitely paints a disturbing picture of the medical system but I think they do a great job of balancing Duntsch with Kirby and Henderson. The competence of Kirby and Henderson leave me less disturbed and rattled than I would otherwise be. Christian Slater and Alec Baldwin have so much chemistry. I'm really looking forward to more of them. Their characters complement each other so well. Both great doctors but clearly incredibly different in temperament. I find that Kirby has a certain arrogance and bravado to him but he's actually a good doctor which is a nice contrasting note to Dunstch. Joshua Jackson is terrific. Combination of awful, hateful and yet charming at the same time. I can't imagine Jamie Dornan doing a better job to be honest.

After all the ho hum about editing out John Besh and Johnny Uzzini, I'm so incredibly disappointed that they went on to crown Gabe as if nothing had happened. Were they hoping we wouldn't notice? That people would just let this slide like they did? What they should have done was get Shota and Dawn back for a cook off. Or failing that have a big disclaimer that there was no winner for this season. But no, money obviously speaks louder. I know the show isn't perfect and I don't expect it to be, but I did think it was mildly better than this. To crown Gabe as a winner, letting him walk away with $250,000, knowing full well the history behind him and brush it all under the carpet makes me look at this show in a completely different way now.
