AIBU to think that if ITV gets GBBO, it will ruin it?

[Libitina]

We'll have sob stories galore from the contestants and adverts every two minutes.

[NickNacks]

Yes and lose 15 minutes of baking time.

[PinkyOfPie]

YANBU, it works too well on the BBC for it to change!

[MadisonAvenue]

Oh crap, I forgot about the sob stories. I hate shows with ads so that'll ruin it for me regardless of anything else that changes.

[icy121]

Mmm to be fair the production company shouldn't change. They'll all just get a lot richer. Mary Berry will be blinged to the hilt.

[takesnoprisoners]

Yup. And more 'characters' like Candice.

[StStrattersOfMN]

Oh no :(

[MadrigalElectromotive]

It's going to be rubbish. I'm so

[Namechanger2015]

Oh no! I can't stand ITV and never ever watch it. End of Bake Off for me too - I hope the production company realise what they are doing!

[Palomb]

It'll be unwatchable because of the adverts, like everything else on itv.

[PikachuSayBoo]

Might go to Amazon prime?

[TWOBANANAS]

Too many adverts, too many dramatic pauses and too many emotional stories. It will be shit.

[mogloveseggs]

Gutted

[useyourimagination]

It won't be going anywhere until 2018 as there's a one year cooling off period in the contract apparently.

[emilywemily]

Given the BBC are a bunch of corrupt fucking fat cat hypocrites who spent years protecting sex offenders I hope they go bankrupt!

[Pyjamaface]

O god, ITV would ruin it. Stupid celebrity chefs every week as guest judges, fake drama and sob stories and only about 20 minutes of actual baking

[emotionsecho]

It will go down the pan faster than ice cream thrown in the bin, perhaps we need to start a campaign to keep it on the BBC. Shame on Love Productions, the programme is what it is because of the BBC and now all they can see are £ signs.

[PotteringAlong]

This is not good

[Katinkka]

Can't they just change the presenters. Sue Perkins sounds like she's retching when she says 'baaaake'. Makes me feel sick.

[TheNaze73]

YABU. The license fee is a stealth tax & the BBC should be a subscription service

[EverySongbirdSays]

YANBU if it goes to ITV they'll destroy it, public vote based on popularity (it's not like we can taste the bakes)

Fingers crossed it goes to Netflix/Prime but there's no saying the current presenting lineup will stay either - did hear it will also have to take a years break because of rights mightn't be on next year.

[EdmundCleverClogs]

I'm reeeeallly hoping it's going to Netflix. I can't stand ITV, every reality/competition programme they have is so contrived and fake. They would ruin it, without a doubt.

[HelenaDove]

Love Productions are the same people who made Benefits Street.

[Amummyatlast]

Noooo, I hate ITV and refuse to watch it on principle.

[DesolateWaist]

I don't think it will last the transition.
