Details: “The Great British Bake Off” first started in 2010. The show focuses on groups of amateur bakers as they face off in a series of culinary challenges.
- “The contest has a weekly theme based on a type of baked product, and the contestants are given a set of three challenges to work on,” The Cinemaholic reported.
- Contestants compete for 10 weeks until one is crowned champion, but unlike other competition shows, there isn’t any prize money at the end, the Deseret News reported.
