The Great British Baking Show Season-Finale Recap: Hangin’ Tough


After a great season of back-to-basics challenges, the producers concoct a doozy of a final showstopper.

It seems like everyone had a hard time sticking the landing this season: Dylan, who choked in the final, the show, which came up with one of the dumbest showstoppers in history, and Georgie, who almost didn’t roll down the hill after she promised Paul Hollywood she would if she won. The competition seemed like Dylan’s to lose coming into it, but he continues to choke on this challenge, making Genoise sponges that he knows are lumpy and then having to cut the lumps out, like so many wolfman ab eyeballs, to present to the judges. While I feel bad for our collective imaginary boyfriend Dylan, he got what he wanted out of this experience, a job in the kitchen of a Michelin-starred restaurant, and I wouldn’t be shocked if he ended up with a baking show of his own.
