Recommended Posts

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.”

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.

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.

For me, 80% of the time Noel is either boring or just weird for the sake of being weird.  There are few times I find him genuinely funny, actually laughing at something he said.  And I'm not talking about the scripted stuff - that's just drudgery no matter who is saying the lines.  I'm talking about the off the cuff interactions with the bakers or ad libs with the other hosts.  I will burst out a little laugh at so much of what comes out of Allison's mouth (or her prat falls), but not so much for Noel.  Allison is so much closer to a Mel/Sue vibe than any of the other hosts have ever been.  Mel & Sue set the bar very very high, though.

In any regard, I hope whatever he's dealing with resolves and that everyone is ok.
