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.

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.

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.
