I think your picks for GBBO are spot on. The types are all represented! The question is, who is Paul Hollywood’s favorite this year? Hint: it’s ALWAYS a man.

Paul is the worst!!!! The one he admires most is always a man, but his personal favorite is always like a 20-something woman. I'm thinking both Rubys, both Kates, Candice, Steph, Lottie, Crystelle.

The second I saw Rebs I was like, Paul is gonna be weirdly attentive to this one. Right!??? Also the first thing she was was about finding out if his eyes were as blue as they say. I guess Rebs understood the assignment!

Who do you think his Man Fave will be? Sandro or Janusz? Abdul?

The distinction between Paul’s most admired and Paul’s favorite/gets most weird attention makes so much sense! Hard to say yet who his man fave will be, but I’m betting on Sandro with Janusz a close second.

Yeah I feel like he's drawn toward masculine dudes (obviously) so maybe Sandro. Can't imagine him being into Janusz's "hun bun" declarations.😅😍

Ok I finally watched GBBO episode 1 and came back to read!! My faves to win/make it to top 5: Janusz, Sandro, and Abdul (I think he had episode 1 nerves this time but seems suuuuper talented??!). But also Syabira, Carol, Dawn, and the Scottish chappie all gave me “why I love GBBO so much” feels, so I hope they go farrrr!!

ok, clicked through to Janusz's profile and 1) he has what they call a "sausage dog" (assuming a dachshund?? amazing) and 2) describes his baking style as "camp" - I am obsessed. lol'd at the eight-year-old alcoholics line. For me, this has been the summer of smoothies - after years of lusting after a Vitamix, I finally got one and immediately regretted not having one from birth?? they are amazing and I use it 5 times a day. (side note - we recently sold our house and my husband told me to leave the Vitamix on the counter for the real estate pictures because it is a "status symbol")

Omg I cannot wait for Janusz to give us ALL THE CAMP!! He's so funny and giggly and fabulous! We DEMAND videos of his sausage dog!!

Okay smoothies is a GREAT one. I wish I had made more smoothies! We have not upgraded yet to the Status Symbol of the Vitamix (LOL! your hubs is RIGHT!) though we do have an old Ninja blender which can generally do the trick.

Just learned what “cheugy” means and I’ve needed this word for so long!!!

Also had to skip the GBBO section because I can’t watch till Saturday, so I’ll come back!!

Meghan and Harry caught flack for holding hands??! It’s such a sweet moment! 😭😡🥺

Summer drink, I hate to admit, was Cutwater Lime Margarita in the can. 😆
