  "textContent": "_Welcome back to_ The Not-So-Great Defector Bake Off_, where Kelsey and Chris attempt to complete the technical challenges from the newest season of_ The Great British Bake Off _in their own home kitchens, with the same time parameters as the professional-grade bakers competing on the show._\n\n* * *\n\nThe idiots of the Not-So-Great Defector Bake Off recently convened at a fancy rented kitchen in Philadelphia—not merely to say mean things about Paul Hollywood, although plenty of mean things were said about Paul Hollywood, but for some baking. It was an intense experience, as you'd expect from a series that has produced so many burned fingers, so many dangerous sprays of molten caramel, so incredibly many sobs of purest anguish. We were there for more than the usual thrills of a timed baking challenge: We were there to satisfy the requirements of Defector's much-hyped 2025 Tip Jar drive. We and our terrible baking were, in a very real sense, the raffle prize.",
