Mark @mtoeta.bsky.social · 03/10/2026While I like him fine, I wasn’t feeling the second Matt Lucas series, so made the executive call to jump ahead to the first Allison Hammond. So glad I did. What an energy shift. #GBBO 040

Mark @mtoeta.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I don't understand the need to rank seasons. How about each one is unique & that's what makes me a fan. There have been seasons I haven't loved (21, 25), but they just weren't for me. And that's okay. #BB28 050
