keeping up with gbbo discourse (yes that's a thing) this season is wild bc it ranges from "why the fuck is carole peeling an avocado like a potato" (hilarious) to "i can't believe british people literally don't know what pico de gallo is" (funny but also sad) to "cultural bakes should be better researched and not judged by two old white brits who mispronounce tortilla" (valid) to "a contestant's unfamiliarity with a dessert should not automatically disqualify them from doing well in a technical, and a recipe that includes no clues as to how to even approach the bake isn't a good thing" (absolutely valid) to "prue and paul did not provide a recipe for the technical which is Morally Reprehensible and so they are Evil" (batshit insane)

GREAT MIDDLE EARTH BAKEOFF: the fellowship edition
aka this is what happens when my mind runs free
Aragorn mixes unusual flavors but somehow makes them work
However, making aesthetically pleasing cakes isn't his strong suit
Legolas, on the other hand, has the most beautiful and intricate decoration
Sometimes mixes interesting flavors, but the rest of the time his stuff tastes just a bit too bland; he will give a very poetic detailed description of why it is the way it is
Merry is there mostly for friendships and having fun (and trying others' recipes) HOWEVER he becomes ambitious and actually quite quite good
Frodo is the one who seems very put together until like the last 5 minutes when something goes terribly wrong (just imagine those compilation videos of like, cakes utterly falling apart and stuff)
Gimli as inspiration always uses flavors and traditions from back home (why is it spicy)
Also his ultimate goal is to just be ranked higher than Legolas but they're both pretty mid-tier
Boromir has a relatively weak start, but eventually gets gradually better and better; however he plays it pretty safe
Gandalf seems to be working extremely slowly most of the time and everyone wonders how he always manages to get everything perfectly done on time; and he has random smoking breaks and just wanders off to who knows where
Pippin is there because his cousins are there, but he turns out to have very whimsical, creative and Unconventionally good ideas; sings to himself while working
Sam makes the most calorie-rich stuff with really good quality ingredients, but he has to work on the presentation and the visual aspect
at the start he is unsure of himself and feels a bit inadequate but his confidence grows over time
He always jumps in to help anyone who needs helping
The judges are Eowyn, Arwen and Bilbo (I will not take criticism) + guest judge Elrond??

GBBO:American week
Signature: Cornbread. Prue is shocked that such a thing is even possible. People do lose points for making crumbly cornbread
Technical: Chocolate chip cookies. Paul refuses to acknowledge that they're supposed to be soft. The softest, most delicious looking cookies score lowest.
Showstopper: Cobbler. The contestents get silly with this one and none of them end up making cobblers

If it ends up being three white men in the final we have to cancel bakeoff. For feminism. Not because I love Tasha and will be too heartbroken to go on. Feminism.
