Finally finished the episode. I'm not sure what I expected or what is different but I think I'm maybe just over Bake Off as a format?
Normally the first episode is a bit chaotic and messy (the first episode of the lockdown era with the Bowie cake is maybe the best single episode of Bake Off) but the cake houses were boring, Matt is still insufferable, and I'm just not feeling it.
Will still probably watch every week but with way less enthusiasm than usual.
