6 reasons GBBO just isn’t the same…
So we’ve said goodbye to Mary, Mel and Sue, we’ve welcomed new hosts and a new channel.
Whilst I still liked it, I still didn’t want to like it. Here’s 6 reasons why GBBO will never be the same again…
- A distinct lack of soggy bottoms. The sharp intake of breath and Mary’s furrowed brow when she flipped a pastry on its head. I miss you Mary.
- Adverts. I want to compare the cake, not see an advert for comparethemarket.com.
- If it didn’t already make me hungry enough, I am now exposed to even more subliminal food based adverts in between eyeing up my Swiss rolls! Bang goes the diet!
- Despite the cheesy script Mel and Sue never failed to make me smile. Noel on the other hand makes me feel like I felt when Olly Murs starting hosting the X factor… awkwardly waiting with baited breath for him to screw up! I also find something about his pale face longingly smiling at a cake ever so slightly creepy.
- Not enough innuendos – I loved a slowly peeled banana and a floppy sponge finger just as much as the next guy! Moist clutches are however a good start.
- It reminds me of the Sugarbabes – same name, same set up, same output, but different people. In the same way that Top Gear needed Clarkson, in my opinion GBBO needs Mel, Sue and Mary.
I know it’s only week one – give me a week or two and I will be totally eating my words. And cake (obviously). But for now I am simply not sure.
What are your thoughts?
You were quick off the mark with this one! I actually really enjoyed it, but you’re right about there not being enough innuendo! #humpdaylinky
