[Rahul from The Great British Bake Off series 9]

(Anonymous) 2018-12-10 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, he looks so adorable though...

First of all, are we now living in some alternate universe where Ruby Tandoh was universally beloved? Am I missing something?

Rahul was great and I loved him but it honestly did take a few episodes for me to come around on him and accept him at face value. Because I am suspicious. But what a good baker and what a sweetheart.

To be fair, a lot of what I saw about Ruby was she was totes using her wily charms on Paul!!!

It was very rooted in misogyny and CLEARLY she was playing him!

JFC. Of course someone immediately made this about Ruby. She's the ONLY "hot girl who cried," apparently. Can we go one damn secret about this show without mentioning Ruby?

(Anonymous) 2018-12-11 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
seriously? come on, seriously?

(Anonymous) 2018-12-11 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, seriously. I have never seen a secret about this show that didn't mention Ruby at some point. Aren't people tired of talking about her yet?

(Anonymous) 2018-12-11 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
It's fine if you don't want to talk about her, but how is it not relevant to the secret

(Anonymous) 2018-12-11 12:19 pm (UTC)(link)
When at least one other "hot girl who cries" is named, I will accept it's relevant to the secret.

(Anonymous) 2018-12-11 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
what?

the reason that Ruby is relevant to the secret is that the secret mentions audience reactions to hot girls who cry, and Ruby is the most prominent instance of that thing

you've gone reverse

(Anonymous) 2018-12-11 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
If so, it’s only out of sheer annoyance that everyone is still hung up on one moderately attractive contestant who lost the show years ago.

(Anonymous) 2018-12-11 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Just say that you don't want to talk about her if that's what you want to say. It's not irrelevant to the secret when the secret is about contestants having anxiety and gender perceptions.

seriously what is your fucking deal here?

(Anonymous) 2018-12-11 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
There's been plenty that didn't mention her. Obviously this annoys you, but you're probably only noticing/remembering the Ruby secrets. Off the top of my head, I remember GBBO secrets about:

* people who are happy or unhappy with the new presenters

* how mad people were that American pie week barely had any American pies, they just did mostly tarts.

* loving Nadiya but thinking her candy themed cheesecake sounded too sweet

* GBBO screw ups and I think (?) wondering what happened to them

* getting weirded out by people who ship Paul and Mary

(Anonymous) 2018-12-11 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
* how mad people were that American pie week barely had any American pies, they just did mostly tarts.

to be fair this isn't so much a "secret" apparently more "a horrible betrayal that american fans of the show will never forgive"

lol

Hyperbole, n: obvious and intentional exaggeration.

(Anonymous) 2018-12-11 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
So if you make a complaint which is easily refuted, "hyperbole" also means "flimsy excuse that I can pull out of my butt to try and make it look like I was only joking"?

(Anonymous) 2018-12-11 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
I remember one more - there was a recent secret about Kim Joy's make up. So yeah, you've basically got "everybody hates Ruby" goggles on.

(Anonymous) 2018-12-11 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
I think it might be "everyone loves Ruby" goggles

definitely some kinda goggles

(Anonymous) 2018-12-11 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
They are actually "Good God, shut up about Ruby already" goggles.

(Anonymous) 2018-12-11 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
I want to live in this alternate universe where people prefer the slightly annoying women over the slightly annoying men.

(Anonymous) 2018-12-11 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
I don't watch this show, but just in general - same anon, SAME.

(Anonymous) 2018-12-11 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
There were definitely times he was a bit much to handle, but I loved him. I imagine I would be very much the same if I was ever on the show.
