It’s heated competition that’s not pressed for time, or with any commercials, and has one of the most technically demanding judges. Basically, if Paul likes it, you’re golden. Mary seems to defer to Paul a good bit. At any rate, you’re not winging it on a hope and a prayer with Paul and Mary.

It’s the best. I don’t usually like cooking competition shows but TGBBS is one my favorite shows of any genre.

Yes - A really good show. You do know they cancelled it. So sad they did that. I heard it might come back with different folks judging.

I'm a fan of the Big Family Cooking Showdown. BBC cooking contest with family vs family. I'm a fan because they're all amatuer but put together some great spreads. They give them ample time and they get to cook anything they want. Plus the judges are so nice that it's refreshing.

Despise any cooking 'contest', they ruined TFN, which now should just be called the Chopped Network.

Two Fat Ladies. Lead the way for Paula Dean and Pioneer Woman (aka Cork Soaker). They are legend.

The best part of that show was when they’d mess with each other. Those old bags were ruthless.

Agree 100%. It’s the only reality competition show I like.

FIFY, and YES by far

The lack of hollywood bullshite and dumbed down american production values is so refreshing

the editing and music are not used to falsely inflate the drama or manufacture phony "bad guys"

it is an absolute joy to watch

the tension feels real

and Sue and Mel are absolutely hilarious

shame they couldnt keep this group together for longer

absolute classic show

The dumbed-down American production values were, however, inflicted on the show's US title. The genuine title of the show is The Great British Bake Off.

Love GBBO.
