Although, since we're well behind the British series, I hope to see some more of the four of them. Meanwhile, I'm watching the Paul and Mary series of "master classes" in which they show the proper way to make some of the challenges they set the contestants (and Paul's explanation of why to leave baguettes to rise on cloth with raised bits between made something clear).
Love makes you do the wacky.

Casper HAAAAAAAAAATES Paul Hollywood. It's pretty funny. (She's not wrong; he's a condescending and mildly sexist asshole in my opinion.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I understand that Ladies of Certain Age in England find Paul quite dishy, but he does nothing for me. I also find him condescending.

He's attitude totally takes away from anything his looks bring to the table.
PR -- knits? Seriously I saw that was wrong. Also Id idn't watch the whole thing because I was watching Pitch so I only saw the top and bottom looks.
Also I realized almost all the last 1/2 hour is judging and I kind of like that because you get to hear more expanded comments. Although tonight it meant I had to hear more of Nina Garcia. Frankly I think that PR could do with a judging overhaul. Trade Zac Posen and Nina Garcia for others and keep Heidi and Tim.

Here's a rather nice piece about what Mary Berry brings to Bake-Off.
I read somewhere that GBBO won't be starting on C4 until 2018, so next summer will be Bake-Off free.

I guess and the color was so boring and ugh.
I didn't really like the other top look that was made out of.. neoprene? I missed that part but it was so stiff and bulky looking.

Still haven't watched any of this season of PR, but chiming in to say that I also enjoy hearing the extended judging discussions. I've always been kind of meh on Nina, I think because her editorial viewpoint is so far removed from my taste (honestly Heidi's "I would wear that" often sum up my opinion) but now and then she reminds me that she is a powerhouse in the fashion world with her judging and those moments are pretty sweet.
