I loved the show with Mary Berry, et al. because although it was obviously a competition it did not seem cut-throat at all. Actually at times it seemed liked they (the contestants) were pulling for each other, even though I know they probably weren't. I actually didn't mind Paul all that much because he actually had very little show time. Mary was of course warm quaint Mary. The only one I did not like and I can't for the life figure out why is Sue Perkins. She just hit me the wrong way but I suppose it was just like in the real world sometimes people just do that. I am sorry to see that the show is going to be splitting up because it seemed to have a good rapport going.
