Just yesterday, Vulture magazine announced that the famed UK show, “The Great British Baking Show/Off” or GBBO finished filming its latest season amid the coronavirus pandemic. For those that are not familiar with the show (it is available on Netflix), twelve contestants arrive at the “tent” which, under the pandemic circumstances was not used, and compete in a series of weekly challenges. Each weekly challenge has three parts, a “signature” bake, a blind “technical” challenge, and a final “showstopper” challenge all revolving around the week’s theme. Each week with a star baker and an elimination of the week’s worst baker all judged by famed baker Paul Hollywood and restaurateur Prue Leith.
This New Season
Interestingly enough, GBBO filmed an entire season amid the Coronavirus outbreak. Vulture mentions that unlike the past seasons, the show’s contestants and judges were forced to quarantine for several weeks before and during filming. It will be interesting to see what replaces the famous GBBO tent and how the show dealt with eliminated contestants. This new season is expected to have similar themes as previous seasons (bread week, cake week, biscuits week), with of course, a few surprise themes thrown in.
