I write this not having watched the penultimate episode of The Great British Baking Show because I've been very much enjoying this season and don't want it to end. Eventually I'll get there when I am ready to let the darkness creep back in. Who will win? Italian Donald Sutherland? German Swedish Chef? Resting Crazy Eyes? Woman who I don't have a quick and easy nickname for? NO SPOILERS!
Elsewhere the Battle for Christmas begins in earnest with fourteen new Christmas specials and movies. In addition to that we also have some actual holiday classics airing on broadcast at the same time tonight so set your Tivos accordingly. We also have numerous basketball (14!) and football games (10!) airing over the course of the day because Black Friday might be about shopping for some but for others it's all about the gambling.
