I love this show. I hope they don't ruin it.

Thank goodness. I hope the next person is warm hearted and genuinely funny.

Noel is sexy at least. He has a frisson with some contestants too.

I like Noel. Matt, not so much.

He’s not my favorite. I won’t miss him. Noel seems to have actual friendships with the contestants. Matt is like the awkward clown who won’t go away.

Thank goodness. He is awful.

Me too! I loved the girls! They were the funniest!

+1. I was bummed when Mel and Sue left, but I really enjoyed Noel and Sandy's pairing. Noel has some absurdist tendencies but he also brings a lot of warmth to the show, which Matt hasn't managed to.

Matt has had to really tone it down for this latest season.
I'm not surprised he's going.

Oof, yeah - I really did not like the energy he brought to GBBO. I hope they bring someone with a calmer energy to balance out Noel (who'd better not leave).

I’m not a fan of his. I hope they hire someone much better!

Good, he added nothing and wasn't funny.

Matt has gotten too busy. He won’t be back on GBBO next season.
