And then when we got to the very end of the process, we actually found a way of summing up the whole show in one word.

Right.
So bait is a British slang word, which means being blatant and in your face and attention seeking.

Bait is an online term about trolling or provoking people online.

Bait in Arabic and Hebrew means home.
