It makes me sad. I think the show could have been okay if both Mary and Paul stayed even if no one else did. But without Mary? No, I won't be watching.

I've just started watching this show (I binge-watched season 6) and now I love it so much. I'm very sad that it's not going to be the same after S7.

Random side question: I really don't understand how they film this show. It seems like it's supposed to take place over a weekend, but the bakers all wear the same clothes throughout each episode. Makes no sense to me.

...I hadn't even noticed that but now I'm going to be staring at their clothes more than the baked goods 8| darn you.

[(Anonymous)]

I think they do the signature and technical rounds on the first day, then showstopper on the second. They probably ask them to wear the same outfit all weekend for continuity, so there aren't issues with editing.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes I thought the same thing, but then I noticed that their hair and make-up is also exactly the same. It just seems...unlikely? Especially in a show that seems to be pretty casual and features ordinary people who wear their own clothes rather than something supplied for them. And also they mention that it's over two days, so it should be expected that the bakers have changed outfits. But I'm probably over-thinking it.

[(Anonymous)]

It's not that unlikely, really. Most TV shows pay attention to the continuity because they're cutting together footage from the whole weekend for various purposes. But you can't do that if people change outfits. Bake off may look like a very simple show, but it's likely harder to produce than you realize.

[(Anonymous)]

You're kind of underthinking it, actually, because the process of making the show is more complicated than you realize. Getting hair and make up the same isn't unlikely for television, it's the norm. It's also not hard to tell people to wear the same outfit all weekend. The reason is exactly what another user said-- they need it for continuity, because they splice together stuff from both days to get the final result and different outfits would ruin that. For example, maybe they need a shot of so-and-so mixing flour for the Showstopper, but they don't have one! But they DO have a shot of them mixing flour during their Signature bake so they use that and just pretend like it was taken during the Showstopper. All TV does this, it's how TV is made.

ayrt

Thanks for your input, I really didn't know about all that! I still think it's a bit odd simply because the audience is aware that it's over the course of two days so it would make more sense in the narrative if they were allowed to change clothes on the second day. I get that maybe it's not feasible when filming though. The mysteries of TV making.

[(Anonymous)]

from what i understand, it's for continuity. they splice reaction shots, comments, etc. over several days of baking so the bakers need to wear the same clothes. maybe the clothes get washed overnight so it'll be fresh the next day or something?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not sure why this is a secret, though. Didn't everyone feel this way? Those who weren't bothered by the Channel 4 buyout were pretending, right :p

American viewer here. My mother in law and I got together to watch this when they aired it on our local Public Broadcasting Station and I was so disappointed when I found out the news of what was going on. She doesn't spend as much time online as I do so she didn't know until I broke the news to her. We're both very sad by the turn of events.
