I feel like this show takes everything that's great about the British version and gets rid of it all....

Yeah, I generally hate the American adaptations of British shows. We watch them because we like British stuff and accents and all.

I don't think the American version is that bad. I think the British version took a nosedive when they lost Mary Berry and the original sidekicks. The new crew leaves me flat.

Sorry, Eldemilla, that I'm not as taken with Paul Hollywood as you are, but I'm still going to watch for the baking. Definitely like to compare the camaraderie/competitiveness of the Americans vs. the Brits, too.

What I don't like about it is they do the whole "Coming up...." that seems to be the norm with American shows these days (ala Master Chef). I don't need to see everything that's going to happen....
Also, I love how the English bakers are so insecure ("it'll probably look terrible, I'll probably have a soggy bottom") whereas the American bakers are the complete opposite (My cake will be awesome, I'm going to rock this bake).

I'm quite enjoying the new British Bake off with Pru, Noel and Sandy.

It starts tonight. I always enjoy it, but I've never seen the british version to compare. Guess I should try to find a stream somewhere.
