Big fan of GBBO and I was definitely seeing the inspiration here. Unfortunately, the commercials and interstitial bits made it all seem very rushed. I really wanted to see more of the creation process as well as get to know them better.
The one we now know the best is the tall gay man who used to work for the UN. (The funeral wreath was horrific—who does that to their son?!?) I loved his idea of taking pics of the sky at the time you photograph a person.
I am a cross-stitcher, so my craft takes too long to be on this show. It wouldn’t work anyway—I grew up just a few miles from Nick’s hometown and actually lived there briefly as an adult, so I would just be, “Oh, my mom is a Moran, you know the farm on 52, just east of the train tracks? Yeah, across the road from the Baltzes—I babysat for them once.” Etc., etc. That’s how conversations go with people with multiple generations from Minooka/Shorewood. Too boring for tv!
I loved Nick and Amy sharing some wine with the week’s loser at the end. And the prize of the patch is inspired! I almost wish they didn’t have the cash prize, but since these aren’t the amateurs of GBBO, I guess it’s better to have them win something substantial.
