> [@puzzlegal](#): > > Paul has stepped up his game. He is doing more of the “trying to draw out the best of the bakers” role, and is warmer and more supportive than he was when he was playing off Mary. Check out “City Bakes” especially the San Francisco one. Paul went around the world visiting the best bakeries in every city, and he got his arse frankly handed to him. You can really see him comprehending that he’s been the big fish in a very small pond. To be fair, he takes it like a man. It’s clear he learned a lot, and is willing to give credit where it’s due. ---

I like the first episode of the new season. For starters, i like the new host. He seems to have better rapport with both the contestants and with Noel than Sandi had. And here seems kind and warm. He might even enjoy baked goods. The show stopper was a stupid exercise (as have so many been, recently) but the technical bake was quite reasonable, getting back to basics. I am cautiously optimistic about the season. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/great-british-baking-show-netflix-new-episodes-sept-2018/820700.md?page=2)
