Cake Week

I love the show, but it has lost its spark without these three. If Mel and Sue had stayed when Mary retired it would still be fine. The new hosts are trying to be like they were, and don't hit the mark. The show is just missing something. A lot of the magic is gone. I hope it picks up.

When I started watching the 8th season (also known as collection 5 on Netflix), I was a little confused to see different hosts- as well as no Mary! But as the episode went on I felt that Prue was a very suitable replacement for Mary and I really started to love the hosts by the end. I think Noel is pretty funny and the chemistry between the two hosts is quite nice. The bakers are definitely the stars of the show and overall I enjoyed this season very much and am looking forward to seeing the 9th season. I feel I should also note, since this is a British show, I'm from the US and have watched this show on pbs and Netflix exclusively.

I really enjoy the show, but it seems as though it's so often hot in the tent. The bakers must sweat a lot. I'm surprised they wear the same clothes both days.

Reasons why the show is now a load of rubbish: 1. It's not on the BBC so you get loads of annoying ads 2. Noel Feilding is not even funny 3. It's not the Bake Off without Mel & Sue and of course Mary Berry! 4. Just utterly ruined 5. Prue is not as nice as Mary Berry 6. Noel and Sandi are trying to be too much like Mel and Sue. When little do they realize that nobody will ever be the same as Mel and Sue. 7. The Bake Off IS NOT THE SAME! I gave it chance but shan't be watching the next series!
