I swear the tabloids (especially the local rags) must be on a permanent slow news day if that is all they can print about, just making a big issue out of a non-issue.
It is pretty bad that during the culture week the contestants literally didn’t even follow what country they were supposed to do baked goods from. Like the whole “yeah we were supposed to do baked goods from Japan but I decided to to French baked goods instead” thing they showed was stupid
I think they could revive culture week but with a guest judge who is from the country the week is based around and who comes up with all three challenges.
I've seen all of those on this list. Fun to relive them. When I was in culinary school things like Bingate used to happen. It occurs when someone is so into their own thing they just do stupid things. We had made puff pastry and each person labeled their own. We made two batches. When we went to use them one of mine was missing. Our Chef instructor quietly checked the waste bins by every student until he found the wrapper with my name on it. When he confronted the person who "stole" it she remarked "Her first one was terrible and his (mine) was perfect and she was too embarrassed to have another failure. Now that was on purpose.
Things like that used to happen in chemistry class too but it was easy to sabotage someone else so if you didn't keep an eye on your own stuff, it was your own fault.
@@jaehaspels9607 No, I caught every sabotage attempt. Such as, taking a pot I had on the stove for it to boil. 6 burners for 5 students. Turning the oven from the 350 degrees the whole class while three of us had dishes baking to 425. Hiding my whetstone. Obviously you've never been to a culinary class or you would know you are preparing several dishes at the same time so saying it was my fault?
@@AlanGoldwaser Oh sorry. I didn't mean it as your fault. I meant that it was the chem student's fault if they didn't keep an eye on their own stuff. You're right. In Chemistry, we only did one experiment at a time.

the most offensive part to me was making them make tiered tres leches cakes. “hey folks, make a cake that’s notoriously wet, now do it in layers!” cruel and unusual.
@@bigjedimullet to be fair. I've have layered tres leches .. but it takes skill and patience and more than a day. Honestly I blacked that part of the episode right out lmao
@ that one dude putting 4 tsp of chili powder into his chocolate cake almost made me have a panic attack as well. I thought Paul Hollywood was gonna go to space. (for any non-bakers reading, 4 teaspoons of finely ground chili powder will make *over 20 pounds* of brownie batter quite spicy. now imagine condensing that down into a cake that probably weighs less than 10 lbs…)
The 1956 Refrigerator Safety Act requires that fridge doors can be opened easily from the inside. Modern fridges have magnetic closures that can be opened by pushing from the inside. Kids can't get stuck in them.
The squirrel was brilliant! I'm so glad I saw it here since I missed it - what nonsense. The fridge complaint, though, is valid, and I probably would have made it: kids see memes, and so many children have died by playing in them. In the US it's illegal to discard fridges with the doors on.
i don’t understand the big fuss over animals’ genitals. they don’t wear clothes so of course they’re gonna be visible on occasion. it’s not like there were two squirrels actively copulating on camera.
As someone who lived in Cornwall, No.20 makes me laugh. The Cornish Pasty shops there (of which there are many) sell a variety of different fillings, if you can name it, they've put in a pasty and sold it.
I hated when they did american pies, which are traditionally very sweet and massive. But they made smaller less sweet versions which like that's a different thing 😂
I hated the episode where they made American cookies. A big reason was that they did not know what the hell they were doing, and I can’t understand why. It’s not difficult.
How hard is it to have a cultural consultant on a show?

Except they didn’t. They completely ignored the country’s cooking traditions and made a mockery of them. It would have been wonderful to have seen them pay homage to native dishes, or to use native ingredients in new and creative ways, but they did neither.
Fondant is not icing! Icing, frosting, and fondant, are 3 entirely different things. Also, I think it’s ridiculous that a handful of people, throw their little tantrums over the most trivial things, and everyone scrambles to make them feel better! instead of just ignoring them, or simple saying “Ok, thanks for your opinion. Have a nice day” 🙄🙄🙄
Yeah but it’s a problem using store bought on a baking show. Homemade fondant tastes sooo much better than store bought on top of it. The judges would have been able to tell just by taste if they deal with it even a little. But you’re totally right. Frosting, Icing, and Fondant are ENTIRELY different things.
Oh, come on! I'd be grateful to that squirrel for giving me an opportunity to explain some things about nature, with regards to ALL animals, to my children. A proud squirrel is so much more interesting than just anatomy posters, after all.
I watch this show all the time... absolutely love it... # 19... Nole went over to comfort her cuz she was so upset about knocking over his cakes, and him coming in 9th had nothing to do with what happened, the judges were informed of what happened...
If anybody finds anything scandalous or wrong about this show they must be just imagining things out of boredom. Nearly every other show is smut city and all kinds of stuff that shouldn't even make it to broadcast and the whole tone of this show is not sex or trying to rip other people apart or whether you win or lose, but doing what makes everybody happy and rooting for others in the group. Probably the most wholesome show out today. Any other show would be cut-throat talking about each other trying to get others eliminated etc etc etc
I had no idea that people in the UK were so sensitive. The problem has to be with the producers apologizing and giving in to social media comments/complaints. From this list almost nothing here seems scandalous. To the complainers, Get over yourself!
The largest number of complaints was 200 for to Boris impression , this out of 5/7 million viewers is hardly the whole of the UK being sensitive- plus my 1 comment out of 68 million people should not be taken as an indication of whole nations sensitivity on being called out on our sensitivity
@ Agreed, why give in and apologize or change the format of the show for such a small group of viewers? It happens here in Canada all of the time. Sometimes it only takes one person to protest a joke or a comment for the media to blow up something so incredibly meaningless. At least you still have unapologetic comedians that don’t give in to the insanity of political correctness. Jimmy Carr and Ricky Gervais are legend for not giving in to the bullshit comments from offended viewers. It’s not the problem of the writers, creators, and producers that certain individuals have not learned how to use the remote to change the channel or turn off the TV.
Take a look at the show. It’s a baking show featuring tons of posh and ‘fruity’ contestants and judges. Your average Brit doesn’t care, just the coddled, soft posh people who have nothing better to do and nothing else to concern themselves with other than people making cake in a tent.
The squirrel made me laugh because I’m an army brat who had British neighbors growing up, I forget the logistics of it but they flew the British flag and everything. Well we lived in an area of Alabama that was full of acorn producing trees so had tons of squirrels. This one squirrel in particular had the biggest balls and I just remembered them sitting on their front porch and roaring with laughter at his “nackers” I learned a lot of British slang from them which helped when I moved to Cornwall later in life. Didn’t need the balls slang as much
the squirrel one reminds me of when folks complained about Robin in the 1960s Batman for showing too much and the response was more or less "if people are choosing to focus on that area, that speaks more on them".
I'm sorry, but the refrigerator one is ridiculous. If your children are daft enough to climb into a fridge because they saw it on telly, perhaps--just perhaps--watch the little morons? Also, who has a fridge anymore that a child can fit into?!
Also, IMO, Diana absolutely did it on purpose. She was making derisive comments about young people the entire time and could not stand that they were far better than she was.
@@jogermaine8600 Ohhhh I missed that. I'll have to go back and pay closer attention. It does seem like there's no way someone would take someone's ICE CREAM OUT OF THE FREEZER because there wasn't room for their own ice cream. And when it was unearthed, Diana seemed to be more defensive than apologetic (like Debra taking Howard's custard)
The culture week description was a bit misleading. The sombreros weren’t the main issue. People were more upset about the judges’ blatant ignorance about Mexico. One of the judges claimed that the tres leches was too moist even though the name should be self explanatory. Then there was the offhand comment about Mexico not being a real place.
Imagine being offended that a squirrel was on camera to the point you call the show to complain….seems some people might have too much time on their hands
The Mexican week was excruciating. Hearing every contestant mispronounce any Spanish word was painful. Just inform them on how to say it before taping. Or have the presenters go around educating. Or bring on a guest cultural consultant. You could have a fun opportunity of a Latin Celebrity being apart of it all.
You ain’t got that argument for Jaffa Cakes anymore! They took it to court and Jaffa Cakes, as the name eludes, are cakes! Even the McVities company said “The clue is in the name.”
I adore this show! I have rewatched (what I can on Netflix) and would love to see the first few seasons we didn’t get. American here. Even got my husband to watch it too!
Remember when we were able to live without censorship and hate from people who has too much free time and who are too bored and need to criticize everything?
All the Brits that sent in complaints have absolutely nothing going on in their lives, are extremely bored, sad, and have no sense of humor. Imagine being angry because someone wants to dip a treat in their drink. Imagine being angry that a squirrel was in a shot. Imagine being angry about your bad parenting that you get scared your kid will take all the food and shelves out of your fridge to go stand in it because of a 5sec clip on a baking show.
As an American watching this show on Netflix the only one of these that was a scandal was #1 Bingate. That was really upsetting to watch. This is supposed to be a friendly competition show with nothing at stake really. 20. Cornish pasties were creative and brilliant. Loved it 19. Most people would automatically shoo away a fly. She was being COMFORTED by Noel Fielding. Sura was a really sweet person, and you could see how upset she was about what happened if you have an ounce of empathy. Dave was a real gentleman and he received the place he deserved because It was judged fairly. 18. If you take the words at face value and don't have a dirty mind you don't have a problem with it. 17. It's obvious they're SMEG fridges. They're cute and the look of them is appropriate for a cute baking show competition. 16. There is no right way to do something. If you do something one way because of your culture or whatever, good for you--do that. If you prefer doing something a different way, then do that--good for you. 15. You don't think people already cheat at everything? Why are you betting in the first place on a baking show competition? 14. Private issue between Hollywood and his wife. Didn't affect the actual content on the program from what I can see. 13. That was HILARIOUS. I don't really know anything about Boris Johnson because I live in the U.S. It was a really funny skit. 12. Prue eats the food before her and judges it fairly. What's the problem? She doesn't actually prepare the 2nd element food for her and Hollywood to eat and neither does he. 11. That was what I expected from the presenters. Wasn't shocked. Was surprised that people didn't know how to prepare an avocado. 10. Have you never watched a program/movie, etc. before?--they miss all sorts of things in editing content. I doubt that was intentional. 9. It's not like they snuck store bought fondant onto the show. It had to be approved by someone to be on the program. 8. Parenting. Try it. All kids (and pretty much all people are really stupid and need to be talked to) Plus I think there is a safeguard for that. 7. That's just how she looks and interacts with the world around her--we're all different. I didn't see any flirting at all. 6. This is news? Seriously? Again I'm an American and astounded that this is news. 5. This is news? Seriously? Again I'm an American and astounded that this is news. 4. He put in the time to be a master of his craft. The distinction of pro and amateur just means whether or not someone does this for a living. An amateur can DEFINITELY BE MORE TALENTED THAN A PROFESSIONAL. 3. Not surprised this happened--I forget what stuff looks like, where I put it too + I'm not on television, which is inherently stressful and leads to additional mistakes and errors in judgment. It would be NICE if each competitor had their own fucking fridge/freezer with their name on it. And for the viewer it would be nice if the bakers had aprons with their name on them so that the viewer can keep them straight when we're suddenly introduced to 12/13 new people. 2. ACCIDENT. She thought the show had just ended. I watch on Netflix and know the outcome from Twitter before I watch. Calm the fuck down. 1. ACTUAL SCANDAL. Shouldn't have happened. That woman shouldn't have been selected for Bake Off. They made a mistake during the vetting process.
Half of these "scandals" are filler, a top 10 list is enough. Usually, if a handful of people spoke up about anything like 20, 17, 13, 12, 11, 10 then some journalist in a cobweb filled office would pounce on it to report the reaction rather than the actual scandal.
As someone from SW America. The “Mexico Week” was too far down the list. Honestly, the worst was the pronunciation of Guacamole. I remember it was all we could thing of. lol. But I still watch every season on Netflix and I can never get enough. ❤
The fridge thing was so stupid. "A kId CoUlD hAvE sEeN iT" is the stupidest excuse ever. If your kid sees a joke, takes it at face value, replicates it, and 💀 that's a parenting issue and maybe your kids was never gunna make it
I agree it’s stupid to get upset about but if you were a parent you’d understand watching their every move for every second of every day is never going to happen. Even with going to the bathroom with the door open or them in the bathroom with you causes issues at times and what do you do in that case for instance. To basically say the kid is dumb on top of it is ridiculous. They’re talking small children. The human brain doesn’t fully develop until age 25.
IIRC, the whole thing with Bingate was due to him using a freezer on the other side of the tent. ie, she removed his to make room for hers. Was it right? No, not entirely, but if he'd used the freezer nearest to him it wouldn't have happened. I could be wrong, but that's what I remember happening. I think she removed his to put hers in, meant to put his back or ask him if he could use a different freezer, but forgot in the moment.
Still, the fair thing to do in that situation would’ve been to find out whose Alaska it was and tell them to move it. She was being an AH by just taking it out and quite frankly, the principle of „when people show you who they are, believe them“ applies here imho. I bet there were a lot of bakers from her region who lost to her in local competitions under suspicious circumstances who were not surprised…
1. There wasn’t enough freezer space for all the contestants 2. It was a hot day and the freezers weren’t working properly 3. He did the best he could and was sabotaged
I'm English and thought it was hysterical. It captured Boris perfectly. Boris was an interesting choice for Prime Minister, mostly because he is ferociously intelligent, incredibly talented, but hides it behind a facade of a bumbling fool. Many of us voted for him because he was a breath of fresh air in a time of grey politicians with no charisma. A lot of the scandals that were in the papers were making something out of nothing, and the media absolutely hated him. It's telling that he got a massive majority that fell off a cliff once he was ousted. The problem is he's richer than God and many people in the press are very left wing and hate the idea of someone with money doing well. Rishi Sunak had the same problem. He was "dishy rishi" while chancellor, then as soon as he became Prime Minister it was "His wife is phenomenally wealthy so he's out of touch". Like it was suddenly a surprise he was wealthier than Boris.
Diane should have been thrown off the programme, he may have put his ice cream in the wrong freezer but all she had to do was TELL HIM and he could have put it into another one, instead she left it to melt, nasty old woman!
Would anyone in the UK be offended by this seasons constant chuckling and word play during the challenge to make a Spotted Dick? As an American I couldn’t hold my laughter in but everyone on the show, including the judges, had the same reaction 😂😂😂
Lol. They made Icelandic Laufabrauð and then put powdered sugar on it. And we were like wtf? Because if you put anything on it it's like butter and idk smoked ham or something. Tho there might be a few people who do sweet things like in other parts of the country but veeeery small percentage. I had never even heard of it before watching the ep.
Very surprised that you didn't mention that the episode after Bingate, Diana was "sick" and therefore did not return to the show. How very tactful of them 😅
Yeah she didn't seem sorry at all, she seemed still annoyed that Ian's ice cream was in her way. On what planet does it make sense to take out someone's ice cream to put yours in, and LEAVE IT SITTING ON THE COUNTER BY MISTAKE????
Gonna go dunk a jaffa cake into tea and put a variety of fillings into pasties. Gonna put fillings in them from all sorts of different cuisines, and dessert ones too. Can't stop me, going rogue! Also, being offended over an animal's bits. Really.
can everybody just calm down? i’d rather be happy for someone NOT from my home region to attempt signature food and i would wish him luck accomplishing it Northern Europe tries to make pasta for aeons now and there is no war with Italy all the same so… just calm down and be happy someone tries to bake or cook what YOU love best
I never realized that while watching. That is a huge issue with any food preparation/cooking/baking show or in the real world. Sanitation is a thing we can easily do people.
While I get that she was a treasure in the UK, I didn't like Bake Off until after Mary left. Prue was much better and she didn't have a clearly racist bias like Mary did. That made it a joy to watch once Prue got there.
What Bake Off clip should we tackle next?

Oh she was ill, but it wasn't physical exactly. She was upset to the point of feeling sick. So it wasn't really a lie.
I had no idea that people in the UK were so sensitive. The problem has to be with the producers apologizing and giving in to social media comments/complaints. From this list almost nothing here seems scandalous. To the complainers, Get over yourself!
The largest number of complaints was 200 for to Boris impression , this out of 5/7 million viewers is hardly the whole of the UK being sensitive- plus my 1 comment out of 68 million people should not be taken as an indication of whole nations sensitivity on being called out on our sensitivity
@ Agreed, why give in and apologize or change the format of the show for such a small group of viewers? It happens here in Canada all of the time. Sometimes it only takes one person to protest a joke or a comment for the media to blow up something so incredibly meaningless. At least you still have unapologetic comedians that don’t give in to the insanity of political correctness. Jimmy Carr and Ricky Gervais are legend for not giving in to the bullshit comments from offended viewers. It’s not the problem of the writers, creators, and producers that certain individuals have not learned how to use the remote to change the channel or turn off the TV.
A 'scandal' in the uk is one or two people on twitter having a moan
It's fake outrage just like in the US
Take a look at the show. It’s a baking show featuring tons of posh and ‘fruity’ contestants and judges. Your average Brit doesn’t care, just the coddled, soft posh people who have nothing better to do and nothing else to concern themselves with other than people making cake in a tent.
The squirrel made me laugh because I’m an army brat who had British neighbors growing up, I forget the logistics of it but they flew the British flag and everything. Well we lived in an area of Alabama that was full of acorn producing trees so had tons of squirrels. This one squirrel in particular had the biggest balls and I just remembered them sitting on their front porch and roaring with laughter at his “nackers” I learned a lot of British slang from them which helped when I moved to Cornwall later in life. Didn’t need the balls slang as much
A squirrel? And his nuts?
That’s nature 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can't believe people would get livid and complain about such ridiculous stuff
the squirrel one reminds me of when folks complained about Robin in the 1960s Batman for showing too much and the response was more or less "if people are choosing to focus on that area, that speaks more on them".
I'm sorry, but the refrigerator one is ridiculous. If your children are daft enough to climb into a fridge because they saw it on telly, perhaps--just perhaps--watch the little morons? Also, who has a fridge anymore that a child can fit into?!
Also, IMO, Diana absolutely did it on purpose. She was making derisive comments about young people the entire time and could not stand that they were far better than she was.
@@jogermaine8600 Ohhhh I missed that. I'll have to go back and pay closer attention. It does seem like there's no way someone would take someone's ICE CREAM OUT OF THE FREEZER because there wasn't room for their own ice cream. And when it was unearthed, Diana seemed to be more defensive than apologetic (like Debra taking Howard's custard)
The culture week description was a bit misleading. The sombreros weren’t the main issue. People were more upset about the judges’ blatant ignorance about Mexico. One of the judges claimed that the tres leches was too moist even though the name should be self explanatory. Then there was the offhand comment about Mexico not being a real place.
Some people are way too damn sensitive!!! 😆 I love watching this show!
I live in the US and Mexico week was so painful to watch 😂😂 so many if these were the funniest things to witness
Aren’t people that get offended on behalf of others just the best!
😂
It’s called empathy. Caring about your fellow humans.
@ you keep believing that.
I wish every tv shows had only scandals about cakes and biscuits ! It's ridiculous but comforting in a way...
Imagine being offended by a squirrel. How embarrassing
Bingate!!! 😡😡😡😡Still mad lol!
God that Mexico week was a train wreck from start to finish.
So was Japanese week
I love the fish shaped pastty looked like Korean street food, filled fish shaped cakes or breads. Looks delicious! 😊
Imagine being offended that a squirrel was on camera to the point you call the show to complain….seems some people might have too much time on their hands
We don't dunk Jaffa cakes in the North either.
Paul Hollywood is just a philistine.
Me lauging at Cornwall being so easily offended until I remember how unhinged I become when people say "chicken fried chicken".
Chicken fried chicken?! Never heard that one but if I did I would laugh my ass off in front of that person. The idiocy.
I find the innuendos are so funny!!!
The Mexican week was excruciating. Hearing every contestant mispronounce any Spanish word was painful. Just inform them on how to say it before taping. Or have the presenters go around educating. Or bring on a guest cultural consultant. You could have a fun opportunity of a Latin Celebrity being apart of it all.
uncle roger did a review with joshua weissman on it lmfao. they slammed them HARD and it was funny as shit.
I'm a Mexican and their pronunciation did psychic damage to me 🙃
Great vid thanks
People need to lighten up
You ain’t got that argument for Jaffa Cakes anymore! They took it to court and Jaffa Cakes, as the name eludes, are cakes! Even the McVities company said “The clue is in the name.”
Mary Berry is the best!
The guy who's cakes were smacked to the floor hopefully wasn't dinged for that lady's clumsy mistake!
No, they were told and didn't mark off for that.
I LOVE the british bake off!
Aw I liked the themed weeks😅
also I remember the squirrel, it was funny
Yeah the bengate episode made me sad ngl D:
As a Cornish person, we weren’t that upset 😂
I adore this show! I have rewatched (what I can on Netflix) and would love to see the first few seasons we didn’t get. American here. Even got my husband to watch it too!
The first episodes with Mel, Sue, and Mary are available to watch for free on Roku
@ Thank you!
as an american fan i expected the smores to appear in this list xD
The only thing I find scandalous is that evidently the Beeb will cave after only a single complaint 😕
Remember when we were able to live without censorship and hate from people who has too much free time and who are too bored and need to criticize everything?
No because that's never been a thing. Censorship has always been around and heck a lot of places back then killed you for saying the wrong thing.
All the Brits that sent in complaints have absolutely nothing going on in their lives, are extremely bored, sad, and have no sense of humor. Imagine being angry because someone wants to dip a treat in their drink. Imagine being angry that a squirrel was in a shot. Imagine being angry about your bad parenting that you get scared your kid will take all the food and shelves out of your fridge to go stand in it because of a 5sec clip on a baking show.
Unfortunately common sense is seriously lacking these days...
just the simple fact that one show has had 20 whole scandals broke my brain.... that seems like a LOT 🤣
but after watching the video, most of these arent scandals at all
Lord I wish my biggest problem was something done in the British bake off tv show.
what is wrong with Innuendos Nigella does it and y'all don't complain
As an American watching this show on Netflix the only one of these that was a scandal was #1 Bingate. That was really upsetting to watch. This is supposed to be a friendly competition show with nothing at stake really.
20. Cornish pasties were creative and brilliant. Loved it
19. Most people would automatically shoo away a fly. She was being COMFORTED by Noel Fielding. Sura was a really sweet person, and you could see how upset she was about what happened if you have an ounce of empathy. Dave was a real gentleman and he received the place he deserved because It was judged fairly.
18. If you take the words at face value and don't have a dirty mind you don't have a problem with it.
17. It's obvious they're SMEG fridges. They're cute and the look of them is appropriate for a cute baking show competition.
16. There is no right way to do something. If you do something one way because of your culture or whatever, good for you--do that. If you prefer doing something a different way, then do that--good for you.
15. You don't think people already cheat at everything? Why are you betting in the first place on a baking show competition?
14. Private issue between Hollywood and his wife. Didn't affect the actual content on the program from what I can see.
13. That was HILARIOUS. I don't really know anything about Boris Johnson because I live in the U.S. It was a really funny skit.
12. Prue eats the food before her and judges it fairly. What's the problem? She doesn't actually prepare the 2nd element food for her and Hollywood to eat and neither does he.
11. That was what I expected from the presenters. Wasn't shocked. Was surprised that people didn't know how to prepare an avocado.
10. Have you never watched a program/movie, etc. before?--they miss all sorts of things in editing content. I doubt that was intentional.
9. It's not like they snuck store bought fondant onto the show. It had to be approved by someone to be on the program.
8. Parenting. Try it. All kids (and pretty much all people are really stupid and need to be talked to) Plus I think there is a safeguard for that.
7. That's just how she looks and interacts with the world around her--we're all different. I didn't see any flirting at all.
6. This is news? Seriously? Again I'm an American and astounded that this is news.
5. This is news? Seriously? Again I'm an American and astounded that this is news.
4. He put in the time to be a master of his craft. The distinction of pro and amateur just means whether or not someone does this for a living. An amateur can DEFINITELY BE MORE TALENTED THAN A PROFESSIONAL.
3. Not surprised this happened--I forget what stuff looks like, where I put it too + I'm not on television, which is inherently stressful and leads to additional mistakes and errors in judgment. It would be NICE if each competitor had their own fucking fridge/freezer with their name on it. And for the viewer it would be nice if the bakers had aprons with their name on them so that the viewer can keep them straight when we're suddenly introduced to 12/13 new people.
2. ACCIDENT. She thought the show had just ended. I watch on Netflix and know the outcome from Twitter before I watch. Calm the fuck down.
1. ACTUAL SCANDAL. Shouldn't have happened. That woman shouldn't have been selected for Bake Off. They made a mistake during the vetting process.
Half of these "scandals" are filler, a top 10 list is enough. Usually, if a handful of people spoke up about anything like 20, 17, 13, 12, 11, 10 then some journalist in a cobweb filled office would pounce on it to report the reaction rather than the actual scandal.
The dunking of the pastry controversy seems so stereotypically British
So the objections range from cultural appropriation and forcing people to come out to . . . Showing a squirrel.
As someone from SW America. The “Mexico Week” was too far down the list. Honestly, the worst was the pronunciation of Guacamole. I remember it was all we could thing of. lol. But I still watch every season on Netflix and I can never get enough. ❤
Crazy how there is always someone offended. You can't please everyone.
I've dipped jaffa cakes in red wine 🍷
😆😆😆😆👍🏻
🤯🤯🤯🤯😂😂😂😂
Matthew Lucas was a terrible inclusion to the show, did not fit at all
Allison Hammond is even worse. Everything she's in is terrible.
The fridge thing was so stupid. "A kId CoUlD hAvE sEeN iT" is the stupidest excuse ever. If your kid sees a joke, takes it at face value, replicates it, and 💀 that's a parenting issue and maybe your kids was never gunna make it
I agree it’s stupid to get upset about but if you were a parent you’d understand watching their every move for every second of every day is never going to happen. Even with going to the bathroom with the door open or them in the bathroom with you causes issues at times and what do you do in that case for instance. To basically say the kid is dumb on top of it is ridiculous. They’re talking small children. The human brain doesn’t fully develop until age 25.
IIRC, the whole thing with Bingate was due to him using a freezer on the other side of the tent. ie, she removed his to make room for hers. Was it right? No, not entirely, but if he'd used the freezer nearest to him it wouldn't have happened.
I could be wrong, but that's what I remember happening.
I think she removed his to put hers in, meant to put his back or ask him if he could use a different freezer, but forgot in the moment.
think it was also down to that some freezers weren't working
Still, the fair thing to do in that situation would’ve been to find out whose Alaska it was and tell them to move it. She was being an AH by just taking it out and quite frankly, the principle of „when people show you who they are, believe them“ applies here imho. I bet there were a lot of bakers from her region who lost to her in local competitions under suspicious circumstances who were not surprised…
1. There wasn’t enough freezer space for all the contestants
2. It was a hot day and the freezers weren’t working properly
3. He did the best he could and was sabotaged
I'm not English, but i tought Matt Lucas was spot on with Johnson. Maybe it was a timing issue, but i tought it funny.
I'm English and thought it was hysterical. It captured Boris perfectly. Boris was an interesting choice for Prime Minister, mostly because he is ferociously intelligent, incredibly talented, but hides it behind a facade of a bumbling fool. Many of us voted for him because he was a breath of fresh air in a time of grey politicians with no charisma. A lot of the scandals that were in the papers were making something out of nothing, and the media absolutely hated him. It's telling that he got a massive majority that fell off a cliff once he was ousted. The problem is he's richer than God and many people in the press are very left wing and hate the idea of someone with money doing well. Rishi Sunak had the same problem. He was "dishy rishi" while chancellor, then as soon as he became Prime Minister it was "His wife is phenomenally wealthy so he's out of touch". Like it was suddenly a surprise he was wealthier than Boris.
Most of these aren't really 'scandals'. Sounds more like some people have too much time on their hands.
Is this a reupload/updated? Feel like I've watched this before years ago
Yes 😡
The fact there are 20 scandals to cover... 😂
Most of these are exaggerated. WatchMojo probably included most of these just so they could claim they found 20 “scandals.”
Diane should have been thrown off the programme, he may have put his ice cream in the wrong freezer but all she had to do was TELL HIM and he could have put it into another one, instead she left it to melt, nasty old woman!
some of the freezers weren't working that episode
@@cole003f that does not excuse what she did.
Would anyone in the UK be offended by this seasons constant chuckling and word play during the challenge to make a Spotted Dick? As an American I couldn’t hold my laughter in but everyone on the show, including the judges, had the same reaction 😂😂😂
Love this show ❤️
I loved that show and learned a lot. I only see rare reruns now. The judges were funny but Mary didn't seem to appreciate their humor.
The pottery throwdown is actually really fun. Such a lovely bunch of people always.
OK and if flirt with Paul any day. Hmmm silver fox bears.
Lol. They made Icelandic Laufabrauð and then put powdered sugar on it. And we were like wtf? Because if you put anything on it it's like butter and idk smoked ham or something.
Tho there might be a few people who do sweet things like in other parts of the country but veeeery small percentage. I had never even heard of it before watching the ep.
Very surprised that you didn't mention that the episode after Bingate, Diana was "sick" and therefore did not return to the show. How very tactful of them 😅
Are you ever going to cover Mexican week?
THIS is the same country that birthed the likes of Monty Python?!
All we wanted was Diane to apologize!
Yeah she didn't seem sorry at all, she seemed still annoyed that Ian's ice cream was in her way. On what planet does it make sense to take out someone's ice cream to put yours in, and LEAVE IT SITTING ON THE COUNTER BY MISTAKE????
Gonna go dunk a jaffa cake into tea and put a variety of fillings into pasties. Gonna put fillings in them from all sorts of different cuisines, and dessert ones too. Can't stop me, going rogue!
Also, being offended over an animal's bits. Really.
It's hysterical to me how many of these are non-issues 😂
At three "Number FOUR Stolen custard"
can everybody just calm down?
i’d rather be happy for someone NOT from my home region to attempt signature food
and i would wish him luck accomplishing it
Northern Europe tries to make pasta for aeons now
and there is no war with Italy all the same
so… just calm down and be happy someone tries to bake or cook what YOU love best
I have never dunked a jaffa, it's a cake not a biscuit. We brits love smutty jokes and most of us just find it funny.
why are the bakers not told to tie their hair back!
I never realized that while watching. That is a huge issue with any food preparation/cooking/baking show or in the real world. Sanitation is a thing we can easily do people.
Some people need to lighten up,they need to be there trying to keep up with all of this.
While I get that she was a treasure in the UK, I didn't like Bake Off until after Mary left. Prue was much better and she didn't have a clearly racist bias like Mary did. That made it a joy to watch once Prue got there.
