📺 "The Great British Baking Show" The Final | Netflix

Watched "The Great British Baking Show" The Final from Netflix
Directed by Scott Tankard. With Mel Giedroyc, Sue Perkins, Mary Berry, Paul Hollywood. This week, our contestants bake in the final.
The final four contestants seemed very equally matched, but all with different strengths. This season wasn’t like many in which there are one or two clear standouts with a variety of strengths.

📺 "The Great British Baking Show" The Final | Netflix

Watched "The Great British Baking Show" The Final from Netflix

And what a trio of challenges they are: mastery of a classic pastry technique that normally takes a day - in just three hours; a Technical test that requires mastering the basics - with no recipe; and a Showstopper that demands delivery of perfect sponge, caramel, choux pastry and petit four in the bakers' final five hours in ...
Richard Burr was robbed by the nature of evaluation only based on the particular episode. I suspect that if the effort were cumulative, he’d have won out in the 7th episode…

This season had a nice amount of rain in the background, but didn’t seem to be as hot in the tent as in other seasons.

Watched USC vs. Texas - September 15, 2018 from Fox

Ehlinger 2 touchdown passes lead Texas over No. 22 USC 37-14

Sam Ehlinger passed for two touchdowns, Anthony Wheeler returned a blocked field goal 46 yards for a score and Texas beat No. 22 Southern California 37-14 on Saturday night to give second-year coach Tom Herman his biggest win in burnt orange.

I really didn’t expect this kind of blowout.
