@howtofailpod: The Great British Bake Off was set to be a very different kind of reality show before Mel and Sue stepped in… For the full conversation, search ‘How to Fail’ on YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I heard that if contestants were overly stressed/struggling or genuinely upset that Mel and sue would stand next to them and just drop the c bomb so that they couldn't use the footage, no idea if it's true but I love it if it is

Yeah sometimes we just want to watch people try to bake really well, we have soap operas for drama

idk if it's a verified story but I heard that Mel and Sue would stand near contestants and shout swearwords and brand names if the contestant was overwhelmed and crying, so they couldn't use the footage

This is why I struggle with Race Across the World which is a great show and doesn’t need the traumatic back story from everyone.

Masterchef Australia is so so so so nice and the American one is so cruel. I’m so curious how that happened

No longer watch the show since they lost Mel & Sue and loved to C4. They were the heart of the show.

Their intervention made bakeoff the most beloved competition show in Britain. There's a reason why so many viewers have dropped off since channel 4 bought it and focused more on building drama with ridiculous challenges that can't be done well within the time limit
