Great British Bake Off viewers were left in hysterics during Tuesday night's show as two contestants struggled to pronounce mangetout.
The Great British Bake Off viewers slam timing of theme for second week in a row
19.10.2022 - 12:26 / dailyrecord.co.uk
The Great British Bake Off viewers were left divided by the unusual timing of this week's themes.
Bake Off already faced backlash for its "insensitive" Mexican themed week which saw presenters Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas don sombreros. The Channel 4 show was criticised for missing the mark on terminology and representation and perpetuating harmful stereotypes of Mexican people and food as many fans labelled it "cultural appropriation".
Moving on from the backlash, the bakers were tasked with creating a whole batch of spooky treats for Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith last night (Tuesday). However, Halloween Week left fans of the show confused as to why it was done so early, when Halloween was almost two weeks away, reports the Echo.
The tent's aesthetic remained relatively untouched for the holiday edition but the majority of backlash came from the timing of the theme. One viewer said: "I know there are more pressing concerns at the moment but why is #GBBO having ‘spooky’ week today and not next week, which is closer to Halloween?"
Another added: "Why Halloween this week and not next week, 25th Oct?!" A third viewer said: "Sorry why are we doing Halloween two weeks before Halloween???"
A final added: "Why didn’t Paul and Prue commit to the theme and dress up too? Boring." Apart from a few black and orange balloons dotted around the tent and some added eyeliner for the contestants, Halloween week flew relatively under the radar.
For the signature challenge, the bakers were asked to produce an apple cake, followed by eight s'mores for the technical challenge. Arriving at the showstopper, the bakers crafted their own Halloween hanging lantern full of sweet treats from whatever they liked.
