Week 1 - Cake Week (Great British Baking Show 2025) & Week 15

Episode notes

GBBO is off to the races with Cake Week, and we are SO relieved to be back in the tent, even if Hassan isn’t having his best days. Justice for Hassan and that “pl-axe” throw edit! In the latter half, we cover the MasterChef semifinals – did Gordon overcook his duck since everyone’s was over? We’ll never know!

About the show

Comedians and cooking show superfans Mike Cabellon, Sierra Katow, and Ify Nwadiwe use fantasy sports rules to argue about America’s favorite reality cooking competition shows. We pick chefs, we earn points based on how those chefs perform, and at the end of the season, we crown a winner!
