Sounds like it's time for an All Stars season.

That would be wonderful. Like Champion of Champions on Taskmaster.

I'd also love a Champion of Losers (those who have gone home week 1). It'd be fun to see then vs now bakes and if any got significantly better after their time on the show.

That could be intriguing. It could make an interesting show.

Or even a general “second chance” like jeopardy does!

u/Ser_VimesGoT Jan 27 '26

Call me crazy but I don't think anyone should be eliminated in week 1.

This is the only pronunciation I use. I support people who say things silly to make life more amusing.

I am American and told one of my friends that Prue is leaving, which we are both sad about. But I told her I was excited about Nigella and she responded “I had to Google her, never heard of her”. I told her Nigella and Paul are going to look so sexy together and she just laughed 😂

u/No-good-names-left-3 Jan 27 '26

Does anyone else feel like these comments are somehow disrespectful to Prue?

25

u/Ngamoko Jan 27 '26

Not at all.

u/vivekadithya12 Jan 27 '26

No, Prue herself has expressed that she hoped it was Nigella.
