Did you watch this evening British Peas? What did you think? Some of the contestants I still feel I’ve barely seen...but the young Scottish lad did a great job didn’t he 😊
And I realised as the credits rolled that it was filmed at the hotel where we had our wedding reception 😊

I watched and enjoyed it. I think they are a great group this year, they all seem to gel really well. I like Rowan!, just because he is a bit of a maverick. I like the Scottish lad too and David and Sura. Oh, and the girl with long dark hair. I guess I like them all. I shall have an ogle at the credits next week.

I know they’ve been gone for many seasons, but I miss the original hosts so much... Mel and Sue, right?

I thought the wrong person went home this week...it should have been the other one, although I like the 'saved' person better as entertainment value, I don't think they really bake that well under the pressure of the show. They must have been very good to get on the show in the first place, but they haven't done very well once the cameras started rolling. Comment of the week: "I was very worried about your big nuts"

I always think of Tim Henman when I see him Yes. There's been a few too many changes imo. I' not convinced about Matt yet. I wish there was a team that would really bed in and stay. "I was very worried about your big nuts" Yes Some of the comments seem very contrived but I think that was just out of her mouth before she realised what she'd said.

Haven’t watched this weeks yet. I had to go out but hopefully I can find time to watch it later as Dh and DD are going to be home a little later than usual this evening.

I really miss Mel and Sue. Sandy was fine, and Matt is fine, but I just think Mel and Sue set the bar SO high. Such a good show though...it’s the best.

I haven't watched A LOT of the shows, but I do enjoy it quite a bit. I LOVE that meme about other reality shows versus the kitty-like gentleness of GBBO! My Dad is UBER picky about what he watches....I was pleasantly surprised the other day when he told me he just found GBBO when he was perusing Netflix. He did NOT think he'd like it, but decided to just try something new. Now he is absolutely hooked! He keeps saying "WHY do I love this show about a topic I've never been interested in!" Then he realized it's the contestants and hosts that he enjoys so much. And I realised as the credits rolled that it was filmed at the hotel where we had our wedding reception 😊 That must have been SO cool I'd be tickled pink if I saw ours on a TV show!

I’d love to have been able to see the hotel itself but haven’t caught a glimpse yet 😊

I liked Mel & Sue at the start but they became too sweet for me, imho. I enjoy the travel programmes Sue does now and her quiz show. Mel took part in our live-for-tv performance of The Sound of Music, playing the housekeeper. She was good in that. I've always been a Noel and Sandi fan so their pairing was great for me. As an aside, have any Brits seen Sandi in The Write Offs, on straight after GBBO, where she helps adults who have reading and writing problems? It's only a 2 parter but I really loved it. Sandi is so empathetic, I found it very moving. As for Matt, I have never been a fan so it will be interesting to see if he converts me.
