This is how it would be said in normal conversation:
"I pulled my sponge out of the oven and it looked a bit burnt. I felt a little disappointed, but worse was to come when I slipped on a banana skin and the cake sailed out of my hands and landed on the judge's head."
This is how they feel compelled to say it:
"I'm pulling the sponge out of the oven and it looks a bit burnt. I'm feeling disappointed and worse is to come. I slip on a banana skin and the cake sails out of my hands and lands on the judge's head."
Why is everything that has happened previously reported in the present tense?
Give me a good "Come Dine With Me" omnibus any day!
