Candice Brown Just Reminded Twitter About The Dark Side Of Television
A new season of "Great British Bake Off" premiered in Britain on September 21, and that means Twitter once again lit up with the #GBBO hashtag. It's still early, and GBBO Twitter is still getting its feet wet. People are making relatable memes from screenshots of the show, or they're trying to decide who they're going to stan this season. "Stan" is fitting because GBBO fans do get a little obsessive ... and more than a little mean. In 2014, after GBBO baker Claire Goodwin was the first contestant eliminated, Twitter trolls body-shamed her and blasted her for crying on camera, according to the Daily Mail. Winning "Bake Off" doesn't bring immunity from the trolls either, as Nadiya Hussain can attest (via Closer).
