Not really surprising - Americans love anything that they view as quintessentially British - you could do cheese rolling, bog crawling or morris dancing and get the same effect
It's such a civilized show. Everybody competes, but nobody is mean. I refer to Paul and Mary as "England's fun couple." They have such a wonderful rapport. I love watching them.
WatchMojoUK I mean we Americans really like food and if it's a video reviewing a show about baking we will most likely to watch it. Also I don't know what you were expecting but not all Americans are trash and actually most people are really nice people and can take a joke and won't get automatically offended, like I actually thought that the jokes you made against us was pretty funny and did make me laugh. I just want you to know that we aren't all like Trump.
WatchMojoUK love from California. This is the best show! Everyone is polite and eager to help one another. Can't wait for the next season. I've cried and laughed more than any other show.
MizzHonduras yes... I prefer it to what the U.S. competition shows have become... faked, scripted, model-quality contestants only, overly-produced, and filled with distracting drama. This is wonderful, entertaining, fascinating, and suspenseful as it is.
MizzHonduras I agree. British reality shows are a joy to watch compared to the American versions which are insanely chatty, loud, overly contrived, edited at a frenetic pace and pretentious. I can't stand them.
As an American, I love GBBO so much more than American cooking competitions. None of my friends understand the appeal. It's not cutthroat. They don't win a bunch of money or their own baking show or a kitchen full of supplies. They do it because they love baking. They also get to practice, which blows my friends' minds. And I just love how contestants will help other contestants.
jdawn1982 and they're allowed to help too ! which i also love unlike cutthroat it's the total opposite where you want to sabotage and not care about others but just yourself
Kelly I am too. But the world sees us through the media. And through the media, because we cater to the lowest common denominator, we're a HUGE mess. Granted, right now we're a huge mess with or without the media.
What I loved most about the custard was the only thing good about her dessert was the custard and it wasn't even hers, and then the only bad thing about his was the custard that was hers.
Blame Louis. He took over the big freezer and didn't budge. P Hollywood said Ian's dish was out for all of 40 seconds. And If a refrigerator is located adjacent to bake space you can assume it's designated for you. I would assume that. Mgmt should have made that all very clear. Ian didn't want to take on Louis so we went to the older ladie's area where he could bully the ladies. You need to watch the show carefully. n.b. Louis is using 2 hands kneading while leaning directly over large OPEN freezer. He really was hovering, bending down directly over the refrigerator and as Ian approaches Louis hunkers possessively down directly over the group freezer rolling a ball of dough with each hand not budging from. the space. Did you know Louis (3rd place) TOOK A YEAR OFF WORK TO PRACTICE BAKING EXPLICITLY FOR THE GBBO SHOW? Producers, editors deliberately edit the show to make it more human interest at Diana's expense. She has never recovered from that. Wrong wrong wrong! The lady is about 70. She was mortified! Really it was awfully mean spirited and low down dirty trick. I'm not 100% for Diana but that episode was incredibly MEAN SPIRITED.
@@Gina13101 Ian had his own refrigerator to use and all of the contestants were fighting to keep their dish from melting as it was. Ian was out of line by using someone else's freezer and then pitching a fit when his cake was melting. He already knew he was going to have an issue but he just lost it when he saw it out. He should've presented it for the flavors and he might've stayed but since they had nothing to judge, he had to be sent home
@@Gina13101 If participants aren't allowed to touch other participants items, how come Ian was allowed to use Diana's freezer? Diana was just defending herself when she said Ian should have been using his own refrigerator. She was correct.
What about when Mel sprayed Nancy's oil into her mouth thinking it was marsala? Or when Sue tried to help by making icing but used flour instead of sugar?
She supposedly passed out at dinner while out with other contestants and hit her head according to several articles I’ve read. However, I think they made that up and kicked her off because it was the only fair thing to do, but didn’t want the drama of American reality shows.
it isn't cheating or she would've been chucked off the show immediately. They had assigned refrigerators and if anyone cheated, it was Ian trying to use someone else's freezer. Don't be so dramatic
I love how the contestants will band together to help someone finish their bake so that they have something to present to the judges. I've seen up to 4 people jump in to help out.
There have been legal cases on that very topic. The final ruling was that is was a biscuit, at least for the purposes of VAT. Let the philosophers argue whether this extends to the rest of life or not.
Alexandra Konigsburg I remember this being talked about on the big fat quiz of the year and it's interesting to see how it's so debatable hahaa- and I'm not even from the UK!
To all those saying that the whole concept of The Great British Bake Off is "boring". If it's so "boring" then why on earth would the concept be picked up by other international broadcasters from around the world (in 24 countries... including the United States)?! #OriginalAndBest
Ok retnuH I see your point. In some ways your actually proving what I'm talking about, as I've never baked anything. So by your logic it's "something I may never be able too do". But I've got to ask, the most obvious question: Have you actually seen The Great British Bake Off?! If your answer is no, then how can you comment on something you've never seen. As all your doing is basing your opinion on your perception. Instead of your experience of watching it!
Simon, I've watched 5 episodes on the internet, it was SO hard. You may find it interesting because you've never baked. But one day, when you do bake, you see after so many times baking, it just gets boring and you see it as a job instead of a hobby.
I agree. USA 'reality' shows and cooking competitions are almost always characterized by fights, arrogant people, rude behavior and language, etc. "The Great British Bake Off" is a breath of fresh air: civilized, nice (and unique) people taking part, and an atmosphere of politeness that is lacking on most American shows. I can't even bake and I adore this show.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. It's not normal how people in those American shows talk to eachother. Same reason I can't watch the American Masterchef. It's not normal. They almost want to kill eachother.
It's because American reality TV show producers are all hacks who need to take a few remedial English literature and/or drama classes so they can learn that "conflict" is not the same as "fighting." Any great drama needs conflict, but the Great British Bake-off has plenty of drama without people trying to claw each other's eyes out over a bit of homemade jam or whatever.
What about when John cut himself and blood started running down his arm and he wasen't allowed to bake that week even tho everyone thought that he would win star baker so as a result noone went home.
+All Iona I saw that online (I didn't follow the series, I'm Dutch) and yés that was a very dramatic moment. I was expecting them to make ("American tv style") a big drama about nothing, a small cut. But then the glove went off and I thought; 'Jeesh! What the hell happened with him?!'
Linda Stewart me too and i agree. Have u watched the irish, and the Australian one as well? The aussie one is great for season 2 and 3 esp the hosts are dolls. I thought i would never like anyone but Mary and paul but they are sooo charming.
kitty mom Thank you!! I didn't know about the other shows!! Wow! I will be watching them post haste! I have tried so many recipes because of TGBBS... !! 🍰🎂🍮🍪🍩. Cheers for baking shows!
Linda Stewart me too even got the courage to attempt macarons (successfully i might add!) Ya the irish only has 2 challenges an eo unfortunately. So like week 1 would be signature and technical. Then week 2 would be technical and show stopper. Still good tho. The Australian season 2 and 3 is better than the 1st as they changed judges. Its great tho.. there is a professional version that is a lot diff but still baking. Its bake off creme de la creme. It isnt as good though.. I am all out of episodes so i am watching france's version Le Meilleur Pâtissier. Wish u spike french bcuz their version seems great.
kitty mom I love biscotti !! And made Paul's orange zest and hazelnut biscotti.. they are delicious! I haven't tried the macarons yet.. the desserts are so different then in the US.. I love the meat filled pasties or pies.. I think too the contestants are so much kinder then the baking shows here.. they help each other if they have time.. there is no yelling or poor sportsmanship.. I had to go to google to help explain some of the terms. I didn't know what castor sugar was! Now I love whizzing the table sugar in my blender to get it softer. Fun stuff!!
This is, hands down, my favorite culinary competition program!!! I love seeing the British sense of humor in play, and the utter skill and determination of the contestants!!! I'm so sad that it has already finished for this year!!!
Everything about this show is a delight. Don't get me wrong, I love me some of the highly competitive cutthroat, cussing and swearing drama fueled American reality cooking competitions too but GBBO is on another level. It's is just so *soothing* and the camaraderie and sportsmanship that all the contestants show is awe-inspiring. Plus, I get the giggles every time Paul says "soggy bottom".
Hello, American here. Just want to say that this is better than any other cooking show I've ever watched because it is so pleasant and polite and everyone is endearing. This is honestly the only cooking show I can tolerate and I LOVE IT. Also, my mom and I still bring up the melted baked Alaska incident... it's a very heated topic in our household.
You missed Ruby breaking that thick glass bowl and saying "it's like the incredible hulk" really mournfully and the legendary turn-around key lime pie :)
I remember no. 1. She never once apologized to the guy or explained to the judges that she messed up his cream, just kept her mouth shut during the elimination to save her own skin.
Just finished watching the 8 seasons that are available in the US. This cut out the best part of Cathrine's dough throwing. "I can't serve Mary Berry green Carpet". Just the way she says it with her accent it funny and awesome.
Our whole family loves this show. Such a pleasant combination of polar attributes: polite yet competitive, low-key yet dramatic, simple yet elegant, understated yet powerful. We could learn a thing or two from the Brits.
That was simply outstanding! I remember watching the episode and my jaw just dropped when he carried it up for judging. And he STILL didn't get'Star Baker' that week!!!! Tragedy.
I'm from the USA and I love this show. It has inspired me to do more baking. The baked Alaska episode was really heartbreaking if that had happened over here the lady would have probably worn the melted ice cream for a hat.
I watched Bake off for Comic relief and I realized now why so many people watch it. It's amazing. I love the sweet nature of it and how it is about the baking and the contestants rather then the drama. And the hosts can be encouraging at times instead of constantly demeaning. We will never have something like this in the States.
felt sorry about him going, but I think he desserved to go for the reaction, he could have presented that mess, the judges could have taste id and judge its flavor, and if it was good its possible that he would have stayed, and the old guy that played safe all the time would have been the one going
9 months later, but as someone that can relate to the "if it doesn't look perfect, it's TERRIBLE" mentality that artists of both the culinary and drawing/sculpting variety are sometimes cursed with, his reaction is normal. He's probably done the same before with smaller things and it's just something out of his immediate control.
@@destroya21 I understand and sympathize with that, but really, this is a cooking show. Presentation is only part of it. There have been countless incidents over the different series where a baker has been saved from being kicked off because their bakes tasted good, even if they didn't look good. He should have controlled that reaction and presented them with something. It's always better to present something than nothing. What's the worst that could have happened if he had shown them what he had? They'd have said "It's a shame your ice cream melted", but maybe he would have survived to the next episode. It is unfortunate what happened, he didn't have any control over someone removing his ice cream from the freezer, but in the end what he had control over was his response, and I'd bet he is kicking himself now over how he reacted.
I'm American and I love this show! So calm and soothing! I also very much enjoy our shows!! I dont see why you have to hate on the other like some people in the comments are doing.
ThatAussieGirl Then why was Iain’s the only ice cream that was reduced to liquid? There were other ice creams in that freezer. And why would Diana take it out in the first place? “Less than a minute” or not...
That whole baked alaska thing is so bizarre to me....when you come upon a fellow contestants food in a freezer, the correct course of action is NOT to leave it out on a counter, even if it was for less than a minute. What sort of madness took hold of her to tell her that was alright?
I love GBBO for the casual friendly attitude to competition. Where else will you see competitors help each other? I guess the ultimate compliment I can give GBBO is that it inspired me to start baking.
During tonight's episode, on Twitter people were saying Liam's jelly not setting was because Diane was still lurking around the tent all these years later and removed it from the fridge.
I felt so sorry for Iain, and it's bullshit that the ice cream was left out for less than a minute because it takes more than a minute for ice cream to turn into as much of a liquid as it did, even on a hot day. Dianna was a fucking snake.
Agree! No way was it left out for less than a minute. Regardless of how long it took (it was a hot day so it may not have been long, but certainly longer than a minute), it was long enough to turn it to slush. That said, I believe it was a complete accident. She did leave the show due to it.
She left the show for medical issues. And EVERYONE had issues with melty cream. It was literally the hottest day of the year the day they filmed that episode and the equipment wasn't sufficient to counter it (contestants have complained about that before. Had the show had a blast chiller, it'd been a non-issue).
Even if it WAS only left out for a minute at that point, how long was she going to keep it out?! She only said it was out the freezer when he went looking for it
We love this show for so many reasons. Here in the states, scenarios are set up to create unnecessary tensions between participants and the creativity and humanity is lost in the process of manipulation. This show always leaves us feeling inspired and happy. We love how the contestants really become a caring sort of family. We love seeing classic creations that are not common in the states. I love that they just come right in and start creating, none of that " Big Brother/Survivor" crap that pits people against each other. These folks have their moments but they are descent and genuine and we end up really caring about these folks. I just hope that as it becomes more popular here in the states they don't allow it to be mucked up. It's just perfect the way it is.....just real people....being sincere and creative.
i love this show. cant get enough of it. i found it on netflix i just wish there were more seasons. i am from america but i love so many British shows much better than shows from america
I am not sure what it is that this show has. I do not like cooking shows, I do not like reality shows, but for some bizarre reason the bake off has me addicted.
When Diane didn't come back the week after leaving the other contestant's ice cream out of the freezer, I figured she was booted off or was too ashamed to come back.
Ok but like even if Nancy accidentally left Ian's cream out for a bit he was still an idiot for throwing away the rest of his bake. You always bring at least something to the table, you don't just throw a hissy fit and quit because one aspect was bad.
The dude who knocked his cake on the floor managed to rescue one tier and put it up. Since he'd done genoise, which is super difficult, they were impressed and he made it through. Dude should have brought up what he could.
These top 10 unforgettable moments from the Great British Bake Off are all ones that I remember from watching all of the episodes that are shown here. Even though I am not usually that into cooking shows, the Great British Bake Off is both so entertaining, and also informative. This is definitely one of the best videos about the show, as it is funny, and also has all of the best moments. Almost all of the best moments from the different episodes were all really in this post, and it is so funny that these were the things included in this post. Probably the best moments out the ten listed here would definitely have to be numbers five and three.
I love the show... it's a treasure! And I love that it is what I turn to (on Netflix) when I have a little time in my busy schedule to reward myself with a break (sometimes I watch a full show..sometimes only one bit - signature, technical, or showstopper). I enjoy seeing these scenes.. but HATE that you gave away spoilers about season winners and what show some folks left on from seasons I have yet to see. Boo!
My daughter told me to watch this because I was so upset after the US elected Trump. She said, "it will give you faith in humanity again." She was right; everyone is so kind! I love it!!
I’m watching episode 5 (season 1) this week. For the Pies & Tarts episode, they announced in the beginning of the show that Diana fell ill and would not return. I highly doubt she fell ill. It was noticeable how she seemed quite put off with some of the challenges and I think she either got grief from taking Ian’s Alaska out of the freezer or just didn’t want to be humiliated by being eliminated, which she was probably next.
Interesting to see that many Americans like this as well :)
Not really surprising - Americans love anything that they view as quintessentially British - you could do cheese rolling, bog crawling or morris dancing and get the same effect
It's such a civilized show. Everybody competes, but nobody is mean. I refer to Paul and Mary as "England's fun couple." They have such a wonderful rapport. I love watching them.

And a german guy from Frankfurt too ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I love that the term 'meltdown' is applied to a guy just dumping something in the bin. Like. No yelling or swearing, just quiet anger and defeat.
its a british meltdown
Wait 'til you experience the well-mannered fury that is the Canadian meltdown.
considering that te cake melted... I guess meltdown is quite apropiate
Oh that's just throwing a wobbly 🤣
He did storm out after that
As someone who lives in the USA and grew up watching crazy reality TV shows, Bake off is such a breath of fresh air
MizzHonduras yes... I prefer it to what the U.S. competition shows have become... faked, scripted, model-quality contestants only, overly-produced, and filled with distracting drama. This is wonderful, entertaining, fascinating, and suspenseful as it is.
Mc Kenna I agree! They also take care of their contestants and don’t treat them poor like in US reality shows.
MizzHonduras I agree. British reality shows are a joy to watch compared to the American versions which are insanely chatty, loud, overly contrived, edited at a frenetic pace and pretentious. I can't stand them.
Mc Kenna 👏👏👏👏👏
MizzHonduras seriously, they’re so nice, they’re all friendly to one another and there are no prizes. It’s just for pride! So good!

Nadiya’s victory speech was incredibly touching, everytime I watch it, I burst out crying, Nadiya is probably my favourite Bake Off champion.
Absolutely agree 👍🏻
Her speech if my life motto. Before i make a mess in my life again and again..

Me too, but it sounds like Louis was at least as much at fault as Diane.

Hello, American here. Just want to say that this is better than any other cooking show I've ever watched because it is so pleasant and polite and everyone is endearing. This is honestly the only cooking show I can tolerate and I LOVE IT. Also, my mom and I still bring up the melted baked Alaska incident... it's a very heated topic in our household.
You missed Ruby breaking that thick glass bowl and saying "it's like the incredible hulk" really mournfully and the legendary turn-around key lime pie :)
I remember no. 1. She never once apologized to the guy or explained to the judges that she messed up his cream, just kept her mouth shut during the elimination to save her own skin.
Just finished watching the 8 seasons that are available in the US. This cut out the best part of Cathrine's dough throwing. "I can't serve Mary Berry green Carpet". Just the way she says it with her accent it funny and awesome.
Our whole family loves this show. Such a pleasant combination of polar attributes: polite yet competitive, low-key yet dramatic, simple yet elegant, understated yet powerful. We could learn a thing or two from the Brits.
How
Are you
Composer how
About we compose a business relationship together
so you talk about things you never show??? talk about the man greasing up his arms to do the dough but then don't show it???
Hello Tracy
Hope you don’t mind me chatting
i seriously love Bake Off so much. so stoked we finally have a British Watch Mojo Channel.

Hello Lucy
The best thing is that Ian's girlfriend told him to not have a meltdown before he went on the show😂
Hello Lzzy
Bread Lion will never be topped.
That was simply outstanding! I remember watching the episode and my jaw just dropped when he carried it up for judging. And he STILL didn't get'Star Baker' that week!!!! Tragedy.
I'm from the USA and I love this show. It has inspired me to do more baking. The baked Alaska episode was really heartbreaking if that had happened over here the lady would have probably worn the melted ice cream for a hat.
It was shown that she wasn't actually responsible for it. Another contestant had left the freezer door open, while piping his own dessert.
Disappointed by the total lack of Val or Selasi, they really made last series!
NoName Val’s the crazy old lady who ‘listens’ to her cakes to hear if they’re done Xd
Selasi doing mel and sues job was the best thing ever. I laughed for days
Selasi was the bessssstttt
@@kuyaleinad4195 And she wears running shoes and does zumba while rolling her dough and prepping for baking. What a lady, lol!
I loved the Dalek made of biscuits if anyone remembers.💜 Very creative.
On Paul's Lion Bread...Even Hollywood seemed stunned.
I love this show and how everybody shows a friendly manner and support to each other.
Nadia winning in the final was the 1st and only time I’ve ever cried from watching a show about baking
Hello Zarah
0:58 That's what American Bake off shows are missing a squirrel with a big knob.🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is by far the best baking show!! I’m in the US and I’m hooked. Amazing talent and hilarious.
Hello Giselle
I watched Bake off for Comic relief and I realized now why so many people watch it. It's amazing. I love the sweet nature of it and how it is about the baking and the contestants rather then the drama. And the hosts can be encouraging at times instead of constantly demeaning. We will never have something like this in the States.
bakeoff is literally one of my favorite shows ever. it’s amazing, and it actually teaches me things to boot. i love it 🥺
In Mel's defense, if it only took that little bit of movement to topple it, then that biscuit tower never had a chance to begin with.
I feel so sorry for Iain and I think he shouldn't have gone
ellie9311 they should have brought him back when Dianna went because of her injury
felt sorry about him going, but I think he desserved to go for the reaction, he could have presented that mess, the judges could have taste id and judge its flavor, and if it was good its possible that he would have stayed, and the old guy that played safe all the time would have been the one going
9 months later, but as someone that can relate to the "if it doesn't look perfect, it's TERRIBLE" mentality that artists of both the culinary and drawing/sculpting variety are sometimes cursed with, his reaction is normal. He's probably done the same before with smaller things and it's just something out of his immediate control.
@@destroya21 I understand and sympathize with that, but really, this is a cooking show. Presentation is only part of it. There have been countless incidents over the different series where a baker has been saved from being kicked off because their bakes tasted good, even if they didn't look good. He should have controlled that reaction and presented them with something. It's always better to present something than nothing. What's the worst that could have happened if he had shown them what he had? They'd have said "It's a shame your ice cream melted", but maybe he would have survived to the next episode.
It is unfortunate what happened, he didn't have any control over someone removing his ice cream from the freezer, but in the end what he had control over was his response, and I'd bet he is kicking himself now over how he reacted.
@@dheu Agrred! If John was able to stay on with his salt dessert then Iain had a very good chance to stay on if they'd had something to taste
I'm American and I love this show! So calm and soothing! I also very much enjoy our shows!! I dont see why you have to hate on the other like some people in the comments are doing.
This show is my happy place.
Bingate and Custardgate: Sabotage at it's finest
TheBooshBabe custardgate wasn't on purpose though and she admitted it
ThatAussieGirl Then why was Iain’s the only ice cream that was reduced to liquid? There were other ice creams in that freezer. And why would Diana take it out in the first place? “Less than a minute” or not...
if the baked alaska incident isnt included in this im suing
thank god it's number one
Years from now, with my dying breath, I will call out, "justice for Iain."
Hello Sharna
I love this show, because all the contestants love each other, support each other and help each other.
Hello Donna
That whole baked alaska thing is so bizarre to me....when you come upon a fellow contestants food in a freezer, the correct course of action is NOT to leave it out on a counter, even if it was for less than a minute. What sort of madness took hold of her to tell her that was alright?
I really like the builder who made the "eclair stairs"
Was this the guy who always had a pencil behind his ears? If that's who you mean, yes, he was really good.
Richard!!!
I love to see those big hugs with excitement and happiness
I love this show its been a family adiction for ever i hope ot goes on for ever too! Master class too
I love GBBO for the casual friendly attitude to competition. Where else will you see competitors help each other? I guess the ultimate compliment I can give GBBO is that it inspired me to start baking.
During tonight's episode, on Twitter people were saying Liam's jelly not setting was because Diane was still lurking around the tent all these years later and removed it from the fridge.
Iain doesn’t deserve the loss my mum and I knew that it was Diana and Diana was struggling too . When Iain had to say goodbye Diana was SMILING!!!!!!
My goodness that Paul gentleman is a work of art himself.
I felt so sorry for Iain, and it's bullshit that the ice cream was left out for less than a minute because it takes more than a minute for ice cream to turn into as much of a liquid as it did, even on a hot day. Dianna was a fucking snake.
Agree! No way was it left out for less than a minute. Regardless of how long it took (it was a hot day so it may not have been long, but certainly longer than a minute), it was long enough to turn it to slush. That said, I believe it was a complete accident. She did leave the show due to it.
She left the show for medical issues. And EVERYONE had issues with melty cream. It was literally the hottest day of the year the day they filmed that episode and the equipment wasn't sufficient to counter it (contestants have complained about that before. Had the show had a blast chiller, it'd been a non-issue).
Carrie Mansfield doesn't mean she gets off scott free after sabotaging someone else's bake tho
That old lady pissed me off
Even if it WAS only left out for a minute at that point, how long was she going to keep it out?! She only said it was out the freezer when he went looking for it
Bingate was fkn emotional #justiceforIan
Nadiyah inspired me to keep pushing myself in what I want to do! Her win, her tears, her husband, and Mary crying still make me tear up
We love this show for so many reasons. Here in the states, scenarios are set up to create unnecessary tensions between participants and the creativity and humanity is lost in the process of manipulation. This show always leaves us feeling inspired and happy. We love how the contestants really become a caring sort of family. We love seeing classic creations that are not common in the states. I love that they just come right in and start creating, none of that " Big Brother/Survivor" crap that pits people against each other. These folks have their moments but they are descent and genuine and we end up really caring about these folks. I just hope that as it becomes more popular here in the states they don't allow it to be mucked up. It's just perfect the way it is.....just real people....being sincere and creative.
Literally the only baking show that isn’t toxic
My friend and I saw the baked Alaska incident and we were furious
@Salini Teri Apodaca True
i love this show. cant get enough of it. i found it on netflix i just wish there were more seasons. i am from america but i love so many British shows much better than shows from america
I am not sure what it is that this show has.
I do not like cooking shows, I do not like reality shows, but for some bizarre reason the bake off has me addicted.
8:34 "I think that's my elbow in your muffin!" That sounds so wrong! LOL;)
As a yank I really enjoy this show! I must admit our cooking shows are more about hilarity and panic than true British charm and grace...thank you UK!
Umm where is val the cake whisperer
When Diane didn't come back the week after leaving the other contestant's ice cream out of the freezer, I figured she was booted off or was too ashamed to come back.
Hello Susan
Nadia got her own Netflix original about cooking
As an American this is one of my favorite shows. Netflix needs to give me more to watch.
Hello Chaotic
ive watched each season at least three times...but earlier in the series for sure is where the gold is. LOVE from Georgia, USA
Ok but like even if Nancy accidentally left Ian's cream out for a bit he was still an idiot for throwing away the rest of his bake. You always bring at least something to the table, you don't just throw a hissy fit and quit because one aspect was bad.
but still tho
The dude who knocked his cake on the floor managed to rescue one tier and put it up. Since he'd done genoise, which is super difficult, they were impressed and he made it through. Dude should have brought up what he could.
Nadiya is such an amazing lovely person ♥
Lmao the squirrel 😂😂😂
I saw the squirrel 🐿 one live lmao 😂
Did somebody build a Dalek out of biscuits?😂😂😂 God this show is so incredibly British😂😂😂😂
I love this show and everybody who has been a judge or participant💕💕💕 please bring this show back.
Hello Diana
PBS introduced most Americans to this Awesome show.. we don't get to see it often enough!! 💐💐♥️♥️
I'm waiting for the time when Deborah stole Howard's custard
Anyone else watching this at midnight in lockdown and can’t get to sleep or just me?🤣
yassss
These top 10 unforgettable moments from the Great British Bake Off are all ones that I remember from watching all of the episodes that are shown here. Even though I am not usually that into cooking shows, the Great British Bake Off is both so entertaining, and also informative. This is definitely one of the best videos about the show, as it is funny, and also has all of the best moments. Almost all of the best moments from the different episodes were all really in this post, and it is so funny that these were the things included in this post. Probably the best moments out the ten listed here would definitely have to be numbers five and three.
I miss this show so much! That was the best!
Come onnnnn. Chetna accidentally doing the technical for a signature and then Louis’ alcohol filled donuts was a classic episode.
I love the show... it's a treasure! And I love that it is what I turn to (on Netflix) when I have a little time in my busy schedule to reward myself with a break (sometimes I watch a full show..sometimes only one bit - signature, technical, or showstopper). I enjoy seeing these scenes.. but HATE that you gave away spoilers about season winners and what show some folks left on from seasons I have yet to see. Boo!
Nadiya is such a lovely person and I've thoroughly loved all the shows she has made and been on since the Bakeoff, she deserves her success. :)
i miss mel and sue. i miss someone bringing out the dancing girls and the orange segments but not being able to due to budget cuts😭😭😭
'Where's my custard' 😂😂😂😂😂
My daughter told me to watch this because I was so upset after the US elected Trump. She said, "it will give you faith in humanity again." She was right; everyone is so kind! I love it!!
1. ALL OF RAHUL
I'm not mad at Diane, it may well have been an accident. But I was very surprised she didn't insist on taking Ian's place. I would have.
This is the best show
Not anymore
THIS IS HILARIOUS!!!!! 😂😂💕💕💕💕
So Ive only seen two or three series of this show and evidently they were all the best, because I recognize the majority of these clips.
Dude, I love thid show. American cooking/baking shows are just. . . Cruel. This show is beautiful.
The baked alaska incident pissed me off so much!
I’m watching episode 5 (season 1) this week. For the Pies & Tarts episode, they announced in the beginning of the show that Diana fell ill and would not return.
I highly doubt she fell ill. It was noticeable how she seemed quite put off with some of the challenges and I think she either got grief from taking Ian’s Alaska out of the freezer or just didn’t want to be humiliated by being eliminated, which she was probably next.
Hello cat
@@jamesjob806 hello James. How are you? How’s scamming life lately? Any good takers? 😘
