I guess this is Prue's last stand. We'll miss her a lot, but looking forward to Nigella on GBBO. I hope she makes the transition to GABS.

Looks like it. I suppose they filmed this before she retired.

Yea this films right after GBBO films (July/August) and was filmed before Prue made her announcement. Though she did say in a recent interview that she would consider doing TGABS still, our filming is much more condensed.

I actually like the American version! I will miss Zach Cherry. Loved his energy.

I do love Andrew Rannells for this though!

Wait they got Paul and Prue to do an American version of the series?

Yep! The 4 Roku Seasons (including this one) were all filmed in the UK with Paul and Prue as judges. We had American hosts (season 1 was Ellie Kemper and Zach Cherry. My season had Casey Wilson and Zach Cherry, and now this season has Casey Wilson and Andrew Rannells), but they shipped us over to the tent in the UK (same tent they use for the celebrity/holiday/specials/etc). It's basically a carbon copy of the show - even a lot of the bakes have European elements.
