Dylan made the NY Times "Most Stylish People" of 2024 :)

The roguishly handsome 20-something contestant brought some heat of a different variety to the latest season of “The Great British Baking Show.”

They must have hired a new social media manager, because their Insta this season has been stellar. Nelly was the perfect person to do this!

Does anyone in the UK know WTF is going on with Noel Fielding?  Apparently AppleTV has pulled the 2nd season of Dick Turpin because he didn't show up to film the last part of it and now there are questions about whether he's going to stay on GBBO.  The articles I'm seeing over here in the US are just rehashes of what the authors have seen elsewhere on the internet like a giant game of telephone.  But aside from nebulous statements from his agent, no one is saying what the actual problem is.

All that's being said is that it's some kind of health reason--either his or a family member's but that they anticipate him filming GBBO.  That remains to be seen.

I hope whatever is going on gets resolved successfully and that he does indeed return to GBBO.

Eh, he's been OK but not more than that.  Allison, however, was MADE for this show.  She's terrific.

I agree. I find most of his attempts at humor either fall flat or are intrusive.

I enjoy his awkwardness.  I also agree that Allison is amazing.

I mostly like him but I find his jokes about drinking blood, death, etc off putting.

He's okay but I never understood why Matt Lucas was considered awful and Noel good.  I actually liked Matt a bit more because I felt he cared more and I am someone who normally finds Lucas annoying. Noel is better the past few seasons but I wouldn't mind seeing him replaced if we could get someone on par with Allison.

Besides, his past chumminess with Russell Brand never sat right with me.
