Every person who signs on for a show like this understands that he or she could be humiliated before a massive audience—the most public any of these private people will ever be, by a massive order of magnitude—and those with a sense of imagination also likely understand that, should it go wrong, it could permanently spoil one of the things they love the most in the world.
The critiques work the same way. Where judges in meaner shows would call something “awful” or “terrible,” Hollywood gets incredible mileage out of a simple phrase like “it’s a shame,” and Mary Berry has the demeanor of someone from whom anything less than grandmotherly praise feels like the sharp edge of a knife.
By doing this, it reminds the viewer of the beauty of competition. Too often, the word “competitive” carries a negative connotation, implying cutthroat ambition and a constant unfulfilled desire to prove one’s self. But in fact the nature of human beings, or at least a good swath of them, is that we like to test ourselves in our endeavors, and often the best way to test yourself is against the skills of other people. It’s also the best way to perform; to show the world a skill you’ve mastered.
