The Great British Bake Off

The Great British Bake Off (commonly referred to as 'Bake Off' or 'GBBO') is a baking show competition where anxious bakers would kneel in front of ovens and over-bake pies. It was first produced by the BBC until 2017, where it moved to Channel 4 with much controversy. The format has spawned many international versions but has aired over the pond under the much milder title 'The Great British Baking Show'.

Premise
Amateur bakers make food for two picky judges while two camp presenters jump around them making humorous quips. The baker who did best in the three challenges would be crowned Star Baker, while another would be eliminated.

The three challenges are: the signature challenge, where the bakers would bake something they would usually bake. The technical challenge, where the bakers are given limited instructions on how to bake something and they would have to use their knowledge to make it look edible. The showstopper challenge, where the bakers must go all out and show off their skills.

Although you wouldn't expect much excitement from a quaint show about baking, it has spawned as much drama as a series of Big Brother, including chopped fingers, sabotage with a fridge, and snowflake parents who don't like their children hearing the presenters' innuendoic comments.
