Val On "Bake Off" Proves You Should Never Give Up On Your Dreams

You should never give up on your dreams.

Val is more than just the baker who can hear bakes.

She is more than the one who always dances...

She is more than the one who had AN EPIPHANY about where to put her jelly on her jaffa cake.

And she is more than the one who dropped 10 million different things during the first couple of episodes.

I am not kidding about her dropping stuff.

ALL of these things are nothing compared to...

Her amazing, never-ending positivity.

Anyone else would be crushed by a bad review from Val or Paul. She just takes any criticism in her stride.

This has happened time and time and time again.

And I know this is a show about bloody baking, but her constant optimism is pretty damn inspirational.

And then there's her WILD ambition. Remember her gingerbread bake? It featured the New York skyline, a windmill in Holland, and her sister...

The bake collapsed and didn't get great reviews. The following week she was back and said this.

And she can just play on the criticisms she receives, like when her Noah's Ark didn't have two of every animal.

(This went on for some time).

She just doesn't seem to care what people think.

And then there's her unbelievable sass.

And you might think that her carefree attitude, her constant optimism, and her sass would be a liability in the tent.

Well...she's still here. SHE'S STILL HERE.

She even came first in last week's technical.

She's a joy to watch and a goddamn hero.

not all heroes wear capes #GBBO

She should never leave the show.
