I'm so gutted. It's probably the best show we have in the UK and now it's going to be ruined out of pure greed. Great.

BBC is over!

I'm crying

Massive fan, no superfan! I will not support this Everyone keeps telling me to go on the Bake off (and ngl, this year everyone has been doing badly kii) but never. I hate you Rupert murdoch!

Welp. Guess I'm tapping out. Their chemistry is one of the main reasons I tuned in. Unless they replace them with someone significantly better this is a it of a catastrophe.

I wonder if Mary will stick around. BBC funds a lot of her solo shows.

I'm hoping they'll turn down the deal cause of the backlash, but the greed is probably too strong. IT'll have to fail in the new season so that they revert the rights back to the BBC.

I'm really pressed.

This. There will be adverts every ten minutes, pointless phone-in competitions and, if it's anything like the dreadful X Factor, the contestants will have sob stories about how they're baking in memory of their great great grandfather's neighbour's goldfish, or something like that.

It's going to become a joke show instead of a good one.

truly a sad day for Great Britain... I'm upset.
