I’m watching the Junior Bake Off for the first time ever (love the children, they are such great characters). The host is Harry Hill and his jokes are painful. Makes me wonder why bake off insist on having hosts that make painful jokes. I do enjoy Noel and I did like Sandi but even then together made really unfunny comedy.

I can't deal with how "nice" the judges are. I know they're children but some of the bakes are a mess and it makes me cringe when they compliment them. 😅

I totally agree! 9-15 is such a wide age range! I’ve not seen the other series but aren’t the older ones always going to win? Has a 9 year old beaten a 15 year old?

I don't think it used to have as wide an age range, I could be wrong though. The winners have always been some of the older kids from what I remember.
 
I also love the challenges that the children are set. Ok I know they are more simplified but I think the adult version has gone the opposite way. I liked it when they were tasked to create brownies as they all went OTT and they all did badly - sometimes the hardest things to do are the ones that seem the easiest.

Watching pastry day on junior catch up. They say the technical is blind judge d and they don't know who has baked which...So why does Liam always look at and give feedback looking directly at the actual baker who then smile back at him!!??

I think it might just be the editing that makes it look that way.
 
I don't see an issue with the age range personally, its no different to the adult version. Some have years of experience, some only doing for a few years. And some of the younger ones out last the older.

I love the junior version, wasn't sure of the new judge at first but I've really warmed to her. All the kids have been great to watch, and unusually for me (I usually hate kids on tv) I don't find them annoying or precocious. They just straddle the talent confidence borderline.

Harry Hill has to go. The only good bit is the kids faces when he interacts with them, they clearly have no time for him 🤣

I noticed this also and commented to my children, they said she probably doesn't really want to eat the stuff 😂

Oh no I love Harry, the kids definitely do not get his humour but I think its what we don't see, which is why they bring him back, I think he seems kind and the kids probably do really like him.

Why does the lady judge hit her teeth with the cutlery when she’s tasting the bakes??? It’s painful hearing it every time 😭 stoppp

This annoys me too but I think it’s so she doesn’t ruin her lippy!!! But I have to say I have really warmed to her, more so than any judge on all 3 Bake Off versions, I think she’s much nicer than Prue and gives feedback in a much more positive way - would love to see her on the main show also Harry, although silly he’s much better than Matt Lucas!

I haven’t noticed it much in week 2 after 2 episodes. It’s weird how different the feedback is compared to the adults version but I suppose they can’t be as harsh to kids.
I love Harry Hill and I love the little side camera shots, gives me TV burp memories! Always been a fan.
 
I think Harrys silliness helps sootges the kids when they get a bit stressed... i also love thd bond they all seem to form, helping each other out and rooting for each other. Its lovely.

Does anyone know where Ravs dress for the final is from? It gives me Rixo vibes but i dont recall seeing it on the Rixo website!
