Devon Ivie interviewed Great British Baking Show 2019 winner David Atherton and finalist Steph Blackwell for Vulture.

Among other things, David described some of the terrific moments edited out of the show:

Were you bummed that certain moments of your fun side werent included?Kind of. My absolute favorite moment didnt make the cut. When I made my cinnamon rolls during Bread Week, I baked a whole new set of cinnamon rolls for the crew and the other bakers because I had the time. They all came around my desk, had a roll, and we chatted for a bit. I could have spent more time doing my bake, but thats me. Im not competitive. I loved the buzz of the tent and being with everyone. I bake for people! I guess it wasnt part of the story Baking Show wanted to show.

Its funny because I remember seeing a handful of scenes of you hanging out in the background with your completed bakes, while the other bakers are freaking out and racing against the clock. I dont recall that happening much in the past before. Did you always finish so early?Pretty much every time. [Laughs.] I always thought I could be doing more things, but I didnt want to overthink it. People always said my bench was the cleanest, and thats because I had nothing else to do. Obviously the edit made it seem like everyone was down to the wire, and lots of people were, but I finished early on almost every single bake.
