Hoo boy! In an inevitably vainglorious attempt to untangle this week's massive and massively complicated judging controversy, where shall I even begin? As I see it, the problem with unpacking this controversy is the same as the problem that caused the controversy in the first place. Anyone who struggles as much as I do to … Continue reading GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – Free From Week

GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – Caramel Week
I've made no secret of the fact that, if I were to compete on the Great British Baking Show, I would get absolutely waxed. My chances of escaping Cake Week would be slim to none; my chances of making it more than halfway through the season would be functionally non-existent. It's not that I'm a … Continue reading GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – Caramel Week

GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – Pastry Week
Finally, Pastry Week! It continues to baffle me that the first three weeks of each and every recent GBBS season have invariably been given over to cakes, biscuits, and bread, and invariably in that order, while pastry is saved for some mid-to-late week, invariably after the first stupid theme week of the season. Are you … Continue reading GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – Pastry Week

GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – German Week
Real talk: I've had an inordinately hectic week, and as a result, I didn't have the time to write an actual introduction to this week's rankings column. However, I do have a couple of thoughts on this week's cold open. This week's cold open featured Matt and Noel vamping about baked goods in the style … Continue reading GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – German Week

GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – Dessert Week
Hello there! Welcome back to the GBBS Power Rankings! What's that, you say? My shirt is splattered with blood, and so is my face? Huh, that's odd. I didn't notice until you pointed it out, and I have no idea why that would be the case. Oh, this? This is also pretty strange, it appears … Continue reading GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – Dessert Week
Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 7, 2021 Season
Six teams have their bye this week, which means the max points for the week is a measly 13. To make matters worse, much of this week's slate is given over to match-ups between mediocre (or worse) teams that could go either way. Exercise extreme caution! Week 6 Correct Picks: 9/14 (0.643) Season Total Correct … Continue reading Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 7, 2021 Season
