I have very specific requirements when it comes to reality competition shows. Number one: No fighting, no bickering—if someone says, "I'm not here to make friends," I’m out. Number two: It should be creative in some way (though this is slightly less ...
First, Make sure you've seen all 7 seasons of Bake-Off available on Netflix. Then watch the the original 1st - 4th season on Youtube.
The Great British Bake Off
Junior Bake Off: I don't know why I waited so long to watch this show. Liam from Bake Off season 8 is one of the judges. The kiddos are ADORABLE with their little English accents. There are 10 seasons but only 2 on Netflix, find more on YouTube.
Junior Bake Off
This show fills me with all the warm feelings! I love watching the authenticity of the seniors and feel it really inspiring. Golden Bachelor is also great.
The Golden Bachelorette
I LOVE this show! Another baking show except this time all the bakes are realistic. It's silly and there's lots of camaraderie which is an essential quality for me. There are 3 seasons on Netflix.
Watch Is It Cake?
This is controversial: It meets my requirements as no one fights, and it *is* quirky in the “what even is this show?” kinda way. I have mixed feelings about MM but do have to admit it's relaxing to have on in the background bc scenery and music are n...
Watch With Love, Meghan
Making It had 3 lovable seasons from 2018-2021. Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman host this incredibly creative show where home crafters across the county compete in unique competitions. It's silly and heart warming and I really wish it had more seasons. Find it on Apple TV, YouTube or Amazon Prime.

This is like the Holiday Baking show version of Making It. This 2 season series is hosted by Maya Rudolph and Andy Samberg, with challenges judged by the “Panel of Opinionated Grannies.” You can find this on Peacock.
Baking It
Blown Away is a glass blowing competition that is both fascinating and relaxing. There's something so satisfying about watching them pull hot glass, kinda like those “How Crayons Are Made” shorts on Sesame Street. There are 4 seasons on Netflix.

This gorgeous flower arranging competition had only one season on HBO, but it was so fun to see these talented humans create gorgeous sculpture and arrangements.

Good news! Netflix also has a flower arranging Competition show! More beautiful creations in the beautiful English Countryside. Also only 1 season.
Watch The Big Flower Fight
I just discovered the Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge on HBO Max and am so mad I didn't know about this sooner! This show features 8 teams renovating different rooms of a house in Barbie Style. Colorful and sentimental I only wish it had more episode.

I've just started watching this one and it is fascinating! I've never wondered about chainsaw carving but now I'm obsessed. Find it on HBO Max.
A Cut Above (TV Series 2022– ) - IMDb
In this British show, LOCATED IN A THATCHED ROOF HOUSE, has people bring in old objects that need repair. They all have interesting and lovely stories about the items, plus it's really cool to see how they repair the cherished items. Find it on Amazo...
The Repair Shop
Unfortunately there is only one season of this dog grooming competition show as I had some of THE BEST laughs 'til I cried moments watching it. Find it on HBO Max.
Haute Dog
I used to love Project Runway but as time went on the contestants became more bicker-y towards each other. Enter Next in Fashion- very similar concept but with a fresh and delightful feel. Watch both seasons on Netflix.
Watch Next in Fashion
This is the first on the list that I haven't actually watched, but it's in my queue. A bestie of mine with similar show requirements highly recommended it. I can't think of anything I wouldn't like about cabin renovations in the Maine forest. I'm exc...
Maine Cabin Masters
I love this show so much! I've only watched Season 3 and admittedly it's a little more pulse-racing than Bake Off, but it's super campy and just so fun.
