Got hooked on that British baking show way later than everyone else

I finally caved and watched The Great British Bake Off last month after my sister kept pushing it. Ended up binge watching 4 seasons in 2 weeks. The tent setup is so calming even when someone's souffle collapses. Anyone else find themselves stress baking after a few episodes?

Well actually it's called The Great British Baking Show here.

Actually, it's called The Great British Bake Off in the UK where it originally airs. The name was changed to The Great British Baking Show for the US market because Pillsbury already owned the trademark for "Bake Off" over there. It always feels a bit odd to me when I hear the American version of the title, since the show is so distinctly British in its tone and format. I've watched both versions and the spirit is the same, but the original name just fits better with the whole garden tent and handshake tradition.
