The Great Kiwi Bake Off

The music on this show is so wierd, a kind of jaunty classical, and it's so loud that it overwhelms the whole show, including making it difficult to hear speech.

Peter Gordon and Jordan are boring, offer no insight, no descriptive talent. Everything "tastes great, good job" ugh. They are wooden, and actually look uncomfortable being on screen. Jordan acts as if the whole world is watching her and is a rabbit in the headlights. Peter has nothing to say. Its so disappointing.

I love the contestants who manage to be perky, natural and excited to be there. They are the only reason to watch this show.

I did not find this show until Season 3. But I found the judges and host to be entertaining! However season 4 is a total flop! The new woman judge is just bad! In episode 1she seemed to think she was a 1940's French Flasher right to black plastic mac raincoat! On a later episode she dressed like a biker chick and was showing off her tattoo arms! The male judge is about as exciting to watch and listed to dishwater! Then there is new male host who beyond awful to watch and listen to! If people found the previous hosts cringe worthy this current set are beyond creepie! Episode 4 has aired and there are 5 more episodes to go, and I am not sure I will make it to the end as the show is that bad and just dull this season! Even the set of bakers in this season are lack luster. It looks like talent was not a qualification this year as why they were picked. But only because they ticked off some diversity box the show producers wanted fill! As I stated 5 episode to go and they were to show episode 5 and send all but two bakers home you would not even notice and think it was normal!

I have only seen the 2019 which is the only available on streaming in Australia.

I find the hosts a bit cringe they seem like they need to try too hard and feel a bit annoying and unnatural.

The judges seem almost robotic and offer so little insight.

The contestants however are the true stars of course, beautiful group of people, fun to watch, love the kiwi people! I would watch the this group of people for an extra season or two if I could.

The hosts are beyond cringe and there is too much focus on diversity. It would be nice to see great bakers for a change. Some aren't bad, some shouldn't be there.

There used to be a time when bake off shows were about finding the best bakers. Then the Great British Bake Off decided that being woke was more important than being a good baker so they chose their bakers by a diversity checklist rather than skills and the show suffered accordingly. The Great Kiwi Bake Off keeps true to the original concept and manages to come up with a diverse group of contestants that actually have some skills. Some better presenters and it would be perfect but it's still enjoyable to watch.
