The Great British Baking Show: All the Seasons Ranked

Season 11 of the most beloved British baking show is up and baking! The first episode of the reality show aired on September 22, 2020, on Channel 4. The new season by Love Production will be first releasing its episodes weekly on Tuesdays after which they will be available to stream on Netflix on Fridays. The production of the Great British Bake Off (GBBO) was impacted due to the coronavirus pandemic, however, the show is back on the screens after months of speculation. Yet again, the show is judged by Mary Berry, Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, and hosted by Noel Fielding and Little Britain’s Matt Lucas, who has replaced Sandi Toksvig from the previous season.

So, till the time you are waiting for Friday for another episode of culinary mishaps and marvels, let’s indulge in an utterly indisputable ranking game of all the ten seasons of The Great British Bake Show.

10/10 – Season 1

The first season of GBBO came on August 17, 2010. The fact that the first season is not available on Netflix makes it difficult to source.

The reason being, PBS ( Public Broadcaster Service) began to air the show from season 3 that means Netflix will never have the rights to stream the first two episodes. Also, the GBBO had reserved really difficult rights to crack back then. The only upside to not being able to watch the first two seasons could be the quality of production that was used ten years back, which you won’t be interested to see.

9/10 – Season 5

The Great British Bake Off is not only loved for its cakes and puddings but also for the amateurish charm and the cordial thing the show has. However, this was not the case with episode number 4 of season 5. In this particular episode, Iain Watters trashes his melted Baked Alaska after another contestant Diana Beard removed it from the freezer. It took no time for this incident to turn into a controversial and accusation plot against Diana. No one knows what exactly happened on the show but it sure became popular as #BinGate.

8/10 – Season 2

Sometimes, it’s not the recipe, but the gossipy incidents that the viewers take with them. And the first few seasons of GBBO have been filled with wild ones. There was an incident in season 2, where contestant Rob dropped his chocolate genoise mousse cake, Paul rushed to help, and together they were able to save enough cake for the judges to taste. The judges must have loved the mousse off of the floor, right?

7/10 – Season 3

This season saw one of the most exciting uncanny personalities to date.  Contestants like Brendan, who loved to bath in his dough,  James, who had a wardrobe of hideous yet comfy sweaters, John who had an interesting ability to injure himself, and Cathryn, who unbearably lacks common sense, were the darlings of the season. Plus, who can forget the way Cathryn tossed her dough in the air only to land it on the carpeted floor. 

6/10 – Season 10

Season 10 of “Bake Off” witnessed unbeatable camaraderie among the contestants. It was touching to see how the remaining contestants used to be genuinely sad, each time after someone was eliminated. But the only reason season 10 is given sixth place is because the remaining five were just so ludicrously tasty.

5/10 – Season 4

Nothing could have made this season admirable other than the rainbow picnic pie made by Frances. She made this oh-so-yum looking and tasting (according to the judges of course) pie, which was sheer art. Frances also won the season upon her picnic pie.

4/10 – Season 7

Contestant and winner Candice is the one for whom season 7 is known for. Throughout the season she maintained her strong will and worked hard to take the biscuit. Candice raised the bar high with the gingerbread pub in the second week. Plus, who can forget Mary’s spectacular outfits on the season finale, and Mell and Sue’s effortless humor and warmth throughout.

3/10 – Season 8

Season 8 is popular for nothing more than the dazzling and illusional cake displays that the contestants kept coming out with. The stunning Victoria sandwich cake made by Steven was an unforgettable sight. Yan came out with the most realistic presentation with her cake, disguised as a bowl of noodles.

2/10 – Season 9

This season is known for its incredible storylines, emotions, and most of all, the funny bakers. Kim-Joy introduced Japanese flavors and techniques in the tent, Ruby brought the party atmosphere with his lively behavior, and Rahul who transformed from an introvert to the smiling winner at the end.

1/10 – Season 6

Started with drama and unbelievable talent, Season 6 is mostly remembered for Nadiya’s winning speech. The figure of optimism, Nadiya has since become a prominent figure in British culinary and television culture. The inspirational lady now has multiple series of her own and has won plenty of awards for her cookbooks.

Hope you enjoyed this ranking feast of the popular Great British Bake Off.

The Misfit of Demon King Academy: Anos Looks for the Reincarnation of Hero Kanon

It was 2000 years before the present-day events in The Misfit of Demon King Academy when Hero Kanon and Jerga confronted Anos, the demon king. Kanon was a much more understanding person interested in diplomacy, but his ally Jerga was not. The conflicts that Anos had faced may still be around, and as he finds out bizarre things in the latest episode of The Misfit of Demon King Academy. When he goes to the Hero academy, Arclanskia, in a student exchange program along with his friends, he is dumbfounded by what he discovers there. 

Arclanskia, in the human realm, has a lot to offer, so when Anos and his friends go there, they make sure they do a bit of sightseeing before they go to the Hero Academy. They are welcomed there by Eleanor Bianca, who is a student there. She gets to know them before she starts to show them around as no one is allowed to visit the academy without permission. Things get very strange for Anos when she takes them to the library of Arclanskia as he finds out that history has been manipulated to make the present world order seem legitimate. 

Anos is taken aback by the reconstruction of all the facts as he observes how everything has been changed. In Arclanskia, the history that is taught has very little to do with facts. As Eleanor tells them, it was great Hero Kanon, who had conjured up the four great magic walls to protect the human realm, which was not true. Anos understood that all of this was reinterpreted and reconstructed history, an attempt to make him irrelevant. But he never corrects Eleanor, who is telling them the revisionist history that she has been taught. She even says that the demon king back then was Avos Dilhevia, an utterly untrue statement that was also very much accepted in the present-day demon realm. 

But that is not all as she goes on to explain the reincarnation of the Hero Kanon. People of the human realm are made to believe that Kanon and Jerga had created the Kanon Jerga reincarnation family, where Kanon was reborn into seven people from seven sources. The people in the human realm have entirely come to accept this falsehood, but Anos knows that Kanon had only one source. He wished to find out the real incarnation to deal with him instead of wasting his time. Anos knew Kanon, so he understands that he was diplomatic and avoided conflicts while Jerga was the complete opposite. He, therefore, wishes to meet Kanon’s reincarnation to set the records straight. Surprisingly, the two self-titled reincarnations of Kanon arrive there. Ledriano Kanon Azeschen and Laos Kanon Jilfor are the two so-called reincarnations; the former is a bookish student while the latter is too eager to prove himself in combat. Kanon Jilfor all of a sudden charges at Anos, but he is very easily able to counter him. Anos is yet to make any progress in finding Kanon’s real incarnation as he wishes to correct the reconstructed history. But he is surprised to find out that the people of the human realm are also told that Kanon was not killed by a demon but instead a human, which makes things even more complicated. Anos desperately needs to find Kanon to make people realize that whatever they have been told is nothing but falsehoods; only time will tell what will transpire once he can finally find him.
