The new Norwegian bake-off has started!

VPN
1

It’s only available in Norway or with a VPN.

Some interesting changes to the format:

  • Each competition is split into two 45 minute shows
  • The theme was only for the signature, the other bakes were unrelated
  • the first showstopper was really hard! A full bust. A bunch of people struggled with it.
  • the contestants curse a lot, it’s quite funny.
  • no one went home the first week
  • a wider mix of background music
  • only one host, the adorable Ulrykke or Eurovision fame.

I’ve felt like there shouldn’t be an elimination in the first week. The bakers are nervous and unfamiliar with the kitchen. So no one is going to be doing as well as their potential.

Is it subtitled in English?

4

Ulrikke is the host?! I must check it out!

Thanks for sharing. Maybe remove the spoiler for those who might have access to the show?

I started watching when I was in Norway a few weeks back. I’m in the uk with a VPN but I still can’t view it (I can watch other shows on NRK tv but not this one. Is it blocked even when using vpn?

The level on these bakers are questionable..
Are these the best ones? Really?
The only one with some knowledge is Lukaz.

No, but sometimes Chrome’s page translation works with captions. I haven’t tried it.

ExpressVpn has worked for me so far!

10

Yeah, it’s noticeable compared to the other shows for sure! During the technicals it seems they’re all wandering around asking each other questions like “how do I make a merengue”?

11

Oh really? I may try that then. Currently with Private Internet Access and can watch some NRK shows but not this one. Thanks for your reply.

12

Are you in uk and specifically able to watch the current bake off series?

13

No, I’m in Canada currently. Did you find a vpn that works for you? This show is bonkers, and I have no one to talk to about it!

14

I am going to sign up and see if it works. I struggled to get refund from last VPN provider as only signed up to watch the bake off! I’ll let you know if it works. I’ve seen the first 4 episodes whilst in Norway last month as it has just started on their tv network.
I’ve watched most of the Canadian bake off too!

Good luck! What did you think about the Canadian one?

I really enjoyed it - just discovered season 7 is available to watch!
