Das Gelbe vom Ei

I've seen a lot of negative reviews of this based on complaints about the host, but I personally love her. In the world of straight-laced cooking shows, the host comes off as spunky and silly and perfectly in tune with the pastel backgrounds. She can be a bit over-the-top at times, but for the most part I find her really enjoyable, and she's an excellent foil to the more serious French chef. The more-advanced baking tips are pretty neat and make me want to try some of these highly-advanced sculpture cakes myself. The cooks who fail are hilarious, the cooks who nail are inspiring, and the judges try to keep things very positive for the most part. An uplifting, cheery, goofy show for anyone who likes baking or cooking.

The hosts are hilarious, the rules are silly and the contestants are having a blast! I suddenly wish Nicole was the host of ALL shows, she is unconventional and fun in her approach and keeps the other judges guessing what will happen next. The upbeat atmosphere of the show is a welcome change to the catty negative vibes fostered by most reality/competition shows. Had so much fun watching season one and have my fingers crossed there will be more coming soon!

I enjoy the show, it's kind of a sad funny. Like some of the professional bakers look like they are questioning why they accepted to be on this show = sad funny :) But the backstage assistant guy Wes is the best! His clever awkwardness is funny. It is a little weird when they share stuff. Like when they all took sips out of the same drink.... let's share our coodies.

It's fun and a little sloppy but that's what makes it so entertaining.

Nicole and Jacques are a well paired and hilarious duo. Omg I've been binge watching this and I'm in tears laughing at their interplay and reactions to the creations of the contestants on the show. A must watch especially if you like baking cook offs, comedy, French men...
