DCI B GREAT show except for the Channel 4 hosts. The worst thing about the American Bake off (thus the 2 stars) is the two hosts Zach Cherry and Casey Wilson, who have ZERO charisma, comedic talent, or chemistry either with each other or the bakers. It's embarrassingly cringe watching these two try (and fail) to keep us and the bakers entertained. The skits seem written by and for 5 year-olds and predictably fall flat. When they latch on to a baker in the heat of a bake, you can see them die inside when having to deal with them. I long for the days when hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins actually cared about what the bakers were doing and added actual value to the show rather than juvenile and supremely annoying skits from two cringe hosts that have you lunging for the fast forward button on the remote. Like Skyler White on Breaking Bad, you want to re-edit all the channel 4 seasons to edit these hosts right out. They bring nothing to the show, us or the bakers but annoyance.
