The point myself and others have been making is that that is a lousy comparison, for the reasons given.
Put it this way - if the US show had been a massive success, I'd still argue that Bake Off won't be as successful on C4 because 3 out of 4 of the main presenters / judges have left.
Whereas maybe you would argue that Bake Off on C4 is likely to be just as successful on C4 without Mel, Sue and Mary?”

Bake Off will not be a success on 4. Why? It will no longer be Bake Off given the change of presenters, ads/sponsorship etc plus the fact that Channel 4 gets a much smaller audience than the Beeb because 4 is much less popular.
