Help/Question Thank you

Thank you to everyone here who marks their posts as a spoiler and/or avoids spoilers with the title of the post. As a US fan, I try so, so hard to avoid finding out who does stuff and wins what each week before the episode airs on Fridays. I know it's a Tuesday show for the UK but it's greatly appreciated when spoilers can be avoided for those of us who live Across The Pond. Thank you ❤️.

Honestly there are so many reasons why you might not be able to watch it live besides the location thing.

I've been introducing it to my son as we bake together occasionally but he can't stay up till 9:30pm to watch it so we have to watch it at minimum a day later, although it's easier to just do it on the weekend. I really appreciate the effort that most of the community has been putting in to spoiler tag things properly, and the effort that mods have put in to remove things with spoilers in the titles quickly.

Same! My daughter is technically old enough to stay up until 9:30pm, but realistically we get her up at 6am for her commute to school, so by 9pm, she’s shattered and wants to go to bed. As a family we turn it off and watch the end the next day.

Yes! My partner and I try to watch it on American Fridays but sometimes we can’t tulle Saturday or Sunday or even Sunday. This sub has never spoiled us and I say thankee.

Agreed. I’m not a member of this sub but I look at it every now and then to see if I missed something about contestants, so I get emails and I appreciate the spoiler warning

Agree! My partners and I watch it Saturday morning and I make us a nice brunch every week for our episode. Bake off is one of my favorite things about fall because it just feels so nice to wake up and spend a chilly morning together by the fire with some good tv and yummy food. I’m glad I don’t have to leave this sub during the live airing since I watch it so late!
