The Soggy Bottom Girls are tying a (slightly lopsided) bow on another season of delicious chaos â but first, they need a song. Or⊠any song. As Allison and Lisa debate their options, Allison casually drops a bombshell about possible Jasmine controversy?! đ
Lisa, ever the voice of reason, breaks down the bakersâ true strengths. Meanwhile, Allison? Sheâs breaking down Aaronâs blouse. Thoroughly. And with great enthusiasm.
This weekâs signature is all about hot dog buns, which naturally sends the girls into a spirited stroll down Hot Dog Memory Lane. They marvel at Tomâs illusion finger buns (yes, theyâre exactly as wild as they sound), and then immediately pivot into a full-on Madeleine Meltdownâą over whether Jasmine shouldâve already known how to make one. Did she cheat? Allison has thoughts. Many thoughts.
The âenormousâ final challenge has both girls swooning over Tomâs talent â and honestly? Theyâre pretty sure he was robbed. But the true cherry on top? The heartwarming, post-season reunion footage of the bakers. Lisa brings it up; Allison weeps agreeably.
Itâs the last episode of the season, and the Soggy Bottom Girls are going out the only way they know how: laughing, ranting, overanalyzing pastries, and maybe starting a tiny controversy. Tune in! đ©đ

The girls sift through Jasmineâs repetitive flavors, debate her soulless bakes, and side-eye her first-place finish in the technical.
When it comes to the macaron showstopper, Lisaâs thrown in the piping bag, but Allisonâs swooning over their adorable potential. With Tomâs chocolate beehive abuzz with brilliance, the girls speculate if heâs about to clinch bake-off glory. Faffery, flavor drama, and plenty of pastry punsâthis episode is as rich as a crĂšme diplomat!

A steamy bain-marie debate bubbles up next, with both hosts declaring it more trouble than itâs worth.
When the gluten-free pudding technical rolls around, Allisonâs war on oranges continues, while Lisa questions the timing (and the taste appeal) of a gluten-free dessert challenge. Finally, the girls tackle the towering trifle showstopper, sparking memories of 90âs wedding gifts and questionable jelly layers.

Itâs Pastry Week in the tent, which means laminated layers, questionable butter strategies, and at least one soggy bottom. Allison and Lisa roll out their thoughts on the seven sacred pastries (and the eighth, Pillsbury Crescent, obviously), while investigating Tobyâs neck beard, Nataliaâs giant collar, and whether Prue secretly runs an accessories empire.
The gals debate the merits of tofu pies, gooseberries, and pork-filled mystery tubes from the â80s, all while cheering on Jasmineâs pastry hat trick and mourning Nataliaâs polite farewell. From sculpted tarts to hot water crusts, this week proves once and for all: flakiness isnât just for pastryâitâs a lifestyle.

Itâs Chocolate Week on The Soggy Bottom Girls, and things are getting decadent! Lisa and Allison swoon over the adorable mini mousse creations that could pass for fancy cafĂ© drinks, while Lisa treats us to a nostalgic 90s-style jingle for NestlĂ© chocolate. The girls canât help but raise eyebrows at Aaronâs melted mousse mishap, and debate whether mousse should ever look like pudding.
In the technical challenge, Allison applauds the blind judging for bringing a rare moment of fairness to the tent, leveling the playing field. Pantry doughs come up in conversation as the girls discuss the importance of having a go-to pastry base, and they both agree: fruit tarts are white chocolateâs best friend.
The fondue showstopper brings on a flurry of chocolate fountain chatter (cue the fondue puns), and the girls wrap things up with high praise for Alison Hammond, who continues to shine as a delightful partner for Noel.

The classroom is open and the girls are back in session! With Allison out for the week, Lisa welcomes special guest and honorary Soggy Bottom Girl, Emmaâa British baker living in Pittsburgh whoâs here to decode the mystery of Back to School Week on The Great British Bake Off.
From flapjacks that arenât pancakes to school fĂȘtes (yes, thatâs pronounced âfateâ) that involve coconuts and queens, this episode is a deep dive into British school traditions that had Lisa more confused than a Bake Off contestant without a proving drawer. Emma breaks down the brilliance of golden syrup, the chewy magic of a classic traybake, and why British school cake comes slathered in custardânot frosting.
The two swap stories about school snacks, fundraiser fatigue, homemade sprinkles (yep, weâve made them!), and the cultural differences that had Americans asking: âWhat even is a flapjack?!â
Spoiler alert: itâs not what you eat at IHOP.

Itâs Bread Week, and the Soggy Bottom Girls are rising to the occasion! Lisa and Allison kick things off by revealing their favorite âtear and shareâ bakes before diving into the bakersâ signature challenge â and those wildly over-the-top ingredient choices (truffle oil? Really?).
Things heat up as they unpack the technical: doughnuts. Is it even baking? The girls arenât convinced. Lisa takes a nostalgic detour with stories of her âFry Daddyâ childhood and sweet Sunday mornings with her dad. Meanwhile, Allison lets loose on the never-ending stream of baker backstories â how emotional should a cruffin be?
They also chew on the growing trend of needing a heartfelt tale to pair with every recipe, lament the suspicious lack of âballâ jokes in this bread-filled episode, and toast to the joyful, fabulous presence of co-host, Alison Hammond.
Warm, spicy, and maybe just a little bit underproved â this episode is a snack you donât want to miss!

Lisa states that biscuit week is her favorite, and the girls go back and forth about the biscuit/cookie difference. Allison and Lisa discuss the difficulty level of the signature bake, and both girls praise Jessika's sliced bacon and egg cookie slices. When the perfect hobnob presents itself as the technical, Lisa believes that she could do this challenge, especially given her skills in carmel making.

Lisa and Allison get into yet another "jump the shark" discussion about this week's showstopper. However, they are quick to praise the major accomplishments of bakers Jessika and Pui man.

Bakers celebrate with their signature sausage rolls, and Lisa reminds us all of the American store-bought crescent roll, and pigs in a blanket.

Pop culture prevails when there's not only a "That 70's show" hobo reference, but a "30 Rock" reference as well. The girls prefer to talk about anything but making tortillas, but declare to be intrigued by the show stopping tres leches cakes. Lisa and Allison congratulate this week's star baker, and send mixed goodbyes to not one, but two tent contestants.
Not really a bread week, bread week! Lisa and Allison begin the episode with lots of pizza talk, and how the week's signature brings out excessive flavor profiles, with mediocre amounts of success.

Bakers were tasked with a biscuit mask in the final, and Rebs' submission leads into the defining fascinator as an accessory. Biscuit week!
A new year, a new season to chew on! Lisa and Allison are happy to be back, and, back together, for another sweet discussion of The Great British Baking Show!

The girls discuss their favorite bakers of the new show, and marvel at the diversity of this class. Lisa talks about her Red Velvet Cake, and Allison advises bakers to invest in food coloring paste. As usual, the girls share laughs about non- related topics like 'wee sing grandpa's toys', a discussion brought about by the bakers' many use of the word "wee".Â
Contestant Janusz gets star baker, and props from the girls for using a spray bottle of alcohol to spray on his bake. Lamenting the curse of the first baker elimination, a sad goodbye is said for Will, the first baker eliminated. Â
It's the final final! The last Soggy Bottom Girls podcast of 2022, and, a very special one at that! The girls record this episode  IN PERSON for the very first time. They discuss all their recent holiday bakes, praise all things Kim-Joy, and celebrate the unsurprising season 9 win by Rahul.Â

Lisa then shares an amazing new opportunity to view early episodes of Bake-off previously unavailable to Americans. Happy Fall y'all!
This week's quarterfinal show features Danish baking. Though the girls can't pronounce the bakes, they can sure talk about them! A signature rye sandwich bread once again showcases Kim Joy and her amazing creativity. Allison praises her throughout the show, and, rejects Lisa from the Wisconsin rye council. A hollow pancake technical and celebratory pastry cake follow as challenges.Â
The girls address the potential controversy over the week's star baker, and eliminated contestant- wandering if the decision was sexist. They give a shout out to Lisa's Mom and her truffles, and, as usual, crack each other up over just about anything. It's Danish week!

A challenging retro classic technical leaves the girls yet again, asking 'Why'? . With a chocolate ball showstopper, the girls heap lots of praise, and criticism, on this week's bakers.

It's Bread Week, baby!Â
Lisa and Allison start the show exchanging notes on naan bread, which is this week's technical challenge. With a tear-and-share loaf also in Lisa's wheelhouse, she explains what Chelsea buns are, and what it takes to turn them into a signature bake.
The girls also muse over the lack of arrogance in GBBO baking contestants, and wonder if this episode portrayed Rahul as a little sad. A Hollywood handshake was given, a cat wedding was celebrated in bread, and as always, someone goes home. Bread week!

A history-making final brings us to the EPIC end of a great season! It truly was the FINAL COUNTDOWN as our ladies recap the ins and outs of this gripping end to the season. We won't give away WHO won until you listen in!Â
Down to another final four, and what an amazing group in the tent! All the star bakers have gathered this episode, and their patisserie will be judged not only by Paul Hollywood, but the Soggy Bottom Girls as well! The girls thoroughly discuss this semifinal grouping, fairness, and GBBO editing. A signature layered slice shows off strengths and yields handshakes. A fiddly Sable Breton tart technical proves how tight the race is. But, an odd 'banquet display' showstopper brings out even more questions on who is deserving of their place in this year's final...

The girls discuss the "twix bar" technical, and Lisa gives a report on her 2021 gingerbread plans. A jump-the-shark showstopper leads the girls to discuss the absence of proper equipment for the baking contestants. After a candy dome fail, another British baker bites the dust. Caramel Week!

A lot of unfamiliar sounding bakes this week... if only someone knew how to speak German around here! Oh wait! Lisa does, and she sings for us as a bonus. The lousy impressions continue this episode, and the girls discuss everything from Cool Whip to Frank Zappa.
Week 5 produces a star baker the girls LOVE, and an elimination that pulls the heartstrings. Allison and Lisa discuss the potential final contestants, mutual feelings about anise, and how everyone loves line dancing. Its German week of course!

A pavlova signature bake means the girls have plenty of personal opinions to share. The ridiculous accent imitation continues as Jurgen stands out in this week's challenges! The girls agree that Chigs is a standout, and that Maggie maybe isn't quite so serious about the competition. A mediocre technical leads into an intensely detailed showstopper. The girls foreshadow their interview with another former Bake Off contestant. It's Dessert week!

We're back! After weeks of illness, Allison reunites with Lisa for a spirited discussion of bread week! With a foccacia signature, and milk bread showstopper, this episode is very much in Lisa's wheelhouse. Both girls try out accents to mimic the bakers, and use the word "faff" with impunity. It's bread week!
We are back with the second episode of The Great British Baking Show. This week the remaining 11 bakers are taking on âBiscuit Week.â So grab yourself a cup of tea, your favorite biscuit and letâs dig in.
Allison and Lisa feel the heartbreak as Amanda's Rocking Horse Showstopper Challenge takes a tumble. Plus, more and more GINGERBREAD (anybody ready for Christmas?!). Will JĂŒrgen win AGAIN? Tune in as the ladies dish on their baking favorites!

We have made it through another season, and arrived verbosely at the final! Lisa shares a rare home baking fail, and both girls go ga-ga for the meringue signature bake. There is lots of conversation about the double Hollywood handshake, and the Victoria sponge technical inspires Lisa to make homemade jam.
An enormous showstopper is loaded with bakes, and the girls take much more than a moment to praise the unsung cinnamon chip.

Patisserie week has come and gone, and the girls take lots of side streets in between the palmiers and the savarins. It's another quarter final episode, and yet, Allison still doesn't know the difference between a petiti four and a fondant fancie!
Jane hangs on for the final, and Andrew goes above and beyond, yielding him a confidence boosting star baker. Lisa brings up the cleanliness of Candice's presentation props, and Allison makes a strange and distasteful confession...

It's a historical Quarterfinal, and thankfully one of the girls knows something about it! Savory Tudor pies, stodgy Tudor jumbles, and Tudor March-pane showstoppers? Can there be too many birds or rose themed bakes? In this week's episode, Lisa and Allison dish about Henry the VIII, Andrew's gear pies, and bakes that look "excrement-y"....

So much sweetness in one little episode! The girls start off by catching up on Lisa's baking bucket list, and how she is crossing off puff pastry. Bakers were tasked with family sized roulades in the signature, so Lisa explains the difference between a roulade and a Swiss roll. There's a fiddly French technical, and an over the top mousse filled showstopper. In between, the girls slip down party ball side streets and forecast a future for a literary hipsters picnic!

An unprecedented weekend of batter challenges gives the girls lots to talk about this week.
Ever made a classic Yorkshire pudding? Lisa has, and explains her week's many baking succeses. The lacy pancake technical was new to both girls, but leads to many 'side notes'. A 'Churros' challenge showstopper prompts Lisa to share how her high school cafeteria often offered a much loved "churro day". Allison explains how the girls started podcasting, and, catches up on this week's eliminated baker.

Babka? Bergamot? Fallopian tubes? Snooker? Believe it or not, we are talking about bread this week!Chocolate loaves abound in the signature, and a German Dampfnudel technical leaves Allison asking ' Why?' Noah's ark in bread. A plaited maiden in bread. And, a mythical masculine showstopper spawns this week's star baker.

Been thinking about baklava? Well, week nine's last four bakers were! Patisserie week yields lots of conversation about the LAYERS. There was filled phyllo dough, and a broiled cake technical. The ample showstopper of extreme entremets leads to much discussion of all the British 'extras'. Lisa and Allison let you know who did well, and who went home- with lots of personal opinions in between!

Down to five, its the quarterfinals, mate! Advanced dough week yields sweet fruit loaves and a somewhat familiar technical. A fun doughnut showstopper produces the perfect doughnut, some boozy gimmicks, and a funny faced doughnut tree. Never to be dissuaded from left turns down non baking avenues, Lisa and Allison get into some films that were commonly shown in American schools circa 1970.
