Soggy bottoms, after carefully reviewing the data I have scientifically isolated the gayest episode of The Great British Baking Show(thread)

Yes. But first, some honorable mentions. GBBO is a very gay show, so there was a lot of material to dig through, and I want to honor some notable contributions to the cause. Here’s a picture of Tamal Ray, just to set the mood

and here’s a throwback picture of Mel and Sue, canonically of lesbian interest. Right then, let’s get into it!

Honorable Mention: The holiday specials, which are festive and gay in as much as they feature festive gays. The gay men’s choir even shows up. Not a very heterosexual thing to happen imo!!

Honorable Mention: Iain’s Baked Alaska being thrown in the trash. High camp. High drama. It might not be gay, but it sure as hell IS queer

Honorable Mention: Gay bread. It’s gay bread. Thanks for the gay bread and for being gay, Dan.

Honorable Mention: Stephen’s bread purse. I’m not elaborating on this one. Gay man bakes bread purse. NEXT!

Honorable Mention: This entire clip from Paul Hollywood for self-evident reasons

Honorable Mention: Dick Snail

Honorable Mention: HELENA. Happy Halloween, spooky queen. Every episode with her in it is gay, because I am gay and I said so.

Well I think that’s enough with the honorable mentions. The gayest episode of GBBO according to science is the first episode of the most recent season, where the act of bottoming is blatantly referenced

David (canonical bottom, winner of the season) says he needs a healthy dose of fiber while Sandi (lesbian) picks up the reference. The gays of Bake Off finally said ENOUGH INNUENDO we’re BOTTOMING. a milestone

The season was already gayer than ever. shoutout to our king @mschakraverty https://twitter.com/Most/status/1245454065246429184

As an added bonus, the episode also features this excellent screenshot of Helena. Is this show… you know… (yes)

GBBO has beat around the bush quite a bit, but at last we have confirmation that people are pounding more than pastry dough in its diegetic cinematic universe. Love that for us

Do you have a favorite gay moment on GBBO, and if so, how do you even pick? What is your criteria? A nice, firm wobble? A flaky crust? A nod to anal sex? Sound off, star bakers!
