Bake-Off doesn't have a lot to learn from
#GameOfWool
but the bakers responding to every Noel Fielding "oopsy floopsy doopsy I'm a little teapot you've got half an hour left" with angry silence would be hilarious.

Bless Tom for still thinking you could possibly add any sense of jeopardy to this show. "Did you know Simon is also making an egg?" "Yes."

They should do a montage of every time a knitter says "this isn't really my thing," they could get an entire extra episode out of it

This challenge is judged blind, the fact that the teams are sitting on opposite sides of the couch next to their knits isn't a clue of any kind

Again, judging the group challenge blind makes no sense. What are the judges going to do, give preferential comments to one of the contestants? They openly despise them all anyway.

The best thing about watching international TV shows is finding out about global culture. For example if I hadn't watched Bloodhounds I wouldn't know about this real Korean burger chain.

They keep using the word "glamour" in the same sentence as "knitted swimwear," which is a bit like using "spicy" in a sentence with "clotted cream"
