Why has this thread been moved to the Reality forum?
I don't understand why all of these cooking shows keep getting moved especially since I would not define either Masterchef or The Great British Bake Off as being reality TV
How about Couples Come Dine With Me also gets moved as that is the epitome of trashy reality TV nowadays?
Strange to see this in the Reality forum. I post in a few other threads here (think of that what you will, those of you with a touch of RTV snobbery) but I wouldn't have said it fits in here any more than shows like X Factor, BGT, I'm A Celeb, etc. which have their own sub-forums.
^^ Why is this Martha character being shoved in our faces already?
Thumbnail pic for promo the trailer, lead pic in the article, centre of the promo collective pic and biggest pic of the profiles. Why are they doing this already?
I'm already feeling uncomfortable about how this forum (and twitter) will inevitably rip apart Martha. Poor kid. Especially if she's good and does well.
I don't think GBBO needs a sub-forum, Masterchef doesn't so why does GBBO, it would just dilute the conversation as everyone will want to start their own thread.

I'm going to count how many people post "She shouldn't be on the show. She should be concentrating on her studies"
I hope she does well but I can't see her going all the way

It's a shame, but I think you're right. I hope she is ready for it.
The more requests, the more likely it is to happen.
I got a reply to mine. They saidthey aren't going to open a GBBO subforum. But they said we can open separate threads regarding GBBO in the RTV forum (like the soaps forum I assume).

That depends if you buy into the idea that people instantly dislike young pretty girls. I didn't like Ruby last year but it was nothing to do with her age or looks. I am going to wait until I see the show before I make up my mind about anyone.
I think a sub-forum would give opportunities for Appreciation threads and discussions about different recipes with tips and tricks.

I looked through the comments after the Mail article, a significant number of them brought up again all the rubbish about Hollywood lusting after or even having an affair with contestants something completely fabricated by tabloids and sad people on forums like this. So it is not looking promising.
A sub-forum just means one more click and more people missing the threads. I did not immediately find the Masterchef after the move to Reality. I have thought of these programmes as Reality, I think of a reality programme as one where cameras follow someone around as they get on with the Real life but the meaning seems to have widened to cover just about anything.
Not that you can form an opinion from a photo and paragraph of text. I shall wait till the show starts to see who I take to. I don't recall ever disliking a GBBO contestant in the past, so hopefully this year will be no different

I don't know, I've slightly got my eye on Jordan as being potentially annoying, a bit 'I'm mad me', although that could just be down to his hair
Either that or accusations of favouristism from Paul cause she's not had time to practice bakes because of AS exams.
I never saw favouritism from Paul & Mary towards Ruby, but I did perceive favouritism from the show/producers themselves.
And, like my previous post said, why oh why is Martha already getting more exposure than anyone else? Even if it is (so far) just from the DM. I would genuinely like to know. Why single out one person? Why can't their exposure be equal? A prelude to my perception of this so-called "favouritism"? I sure hope not
When Big Brother or The Apprentice does it, it's because they're gross "Reality" shows in the worst sense, but GBBO isn't supposed to be like that

I find it quite offensive to categorise BB and TA together. I like both, but they are both in twp completely different leagues of RTV! TA is a thinking mans reality tv program, whereas BB is about as trashy as they come.

Maybe because she is the youngest competitor ever on the competition (note to the mods - it's a competition, not a reality series).
Which seems to be a valid enough reason at this stage in proceedings.

Although not a fan of BB since BB5, I love TA. But the only reason I associated it with the trashiness of BB is because of their decision to cast Luisa in the last series. Total trashy move hiring someone whose business credentials pale in comparison to their headline-grabbing sexcapades and general thirst for fame. Was only her, to be fair though. As far as I've seen they haven't cast anyone like that previously.

Schoolgirl Martha, 17, bids to be youngest ever Queen of the Great British Bake Off as the hit BBC show returns... and here we reveal her rivals, from the beekeeper to the nerd

Then please request one.

She's the spiritual successor to Christine and I'm anticipating some gloriously bitchy side-eyes from Mary (again!)

I agree! It's not Reality TV! It's a competition.
I wonder if this is to tie-in with GBBO ?
Also I pointed out to them that their "captcha" image purports to be made up of a "word pair" but only has one set of characters displayed!!
