Holiday Baking Championship

Now that lorraine pascale is gone I find it much more like a baking contest vs just eating treats and giggling on tv. I just found her annoying.

They do not judge fair. Not only does the undeserving person usually win... but the judges openly contradict their decisions.

The only explanation is the show being rigged. I literally watched a "Finale" where the judges chose the most interesting design and said her baking tasted terrible. This is a freaking food show.

The only way this show can be redeemed is if they stop rewarding stories and crying. One person cried every episode, was almost eliminated twice, but won the whole thing. In comparison, another chef stayed strong, worked hard, and made desserts that were well liked but because he didn't cry or tell some stupid story.

Do not watch this show.

"Holiday Baking Championship" is a Food Network series that has been aired every year for the last seven years. It consists of both professional bakers and home bakers competing until one ultimately is crowned the winner of the season. And, like the title of the show suggests, it's about holidays...particularly Christmas and a bit about Thanksgiving and Hanukkah. Each week, one baker is declared the winner (though they actually win nothing until the final round) and a loser who is sent home.

I have enjoyed the show but have noticed something. In season three, I noticed that the judges were NOT getting along well. In particular, Nancy seemed to disagree with everyone....but more often with Lorraine. My daughter and I definitely noticed some tension here....though in later seasons it looked as if all fences were mended and everyone appeared happier. I really PREFER it that way and consider season three an aberration, though I did see a bit of this in season two as well. Still enjoyable...and more so when the judges seemed more unified and less argumentative.

Since I discovered the show I've been binge watching. Seasons 2,4,5,6 I think are my favorites. The dad jokes are amazing and we really enjoy how Duff.relatea to the contestants and the other judges. Lorraine is sorely missed. When I fast forward or skip over episodes it's because some of the contestants are annoying to watch. After season 6 I have zoned out more, but went back to watch 1-6. If they continue this show, my family and I will continue to watch depending on the contestants. Erin, Jody, Douglas, Maeve, Adam, Jen, Melissa, Cheryl, Larome are my favorite contestants. I have been inspired to make some delicious food because of this show.

Please stop showing the judges bizarre way of eating, especially Duff. He looks like he's in pain or afraid to mess up his lipstick, very disconcerting.

The contestants show amazing talent and creativity.

Nothing else to add but the form requires more characters Wow , I think the counter is off because I am definitely over the minimum characters.
