Love the show, i feel like im one of the contestants. I started watching season 4 then binge watched Season 123. Julia and Dan are both awesome. The judges are fair i see no bias from them.
Change the casting. The male judge and the 2 hosts are absolutely terrible. The female judge is likeable and personable. Whoever does the casting needs to go as well! I probably watch 1/3 and fast forward the other 2/3's. Canadian version is the worst out of all the countries.
I couldn't even finish the 3rd season, the hosts are SO forced and cringe. Love the show itself but the hosts are so unfunny and do NOT fit into this role. I'm sure they may fit well for other shows - but the jokes and sketches don't work here.
I loved the first 2 seasons. I started to watch the 3rd season and honestly not sure if I will finish it...the new hosts are sooooo annoying, overbearing.....just terrible.
First off I'll say that I've never seen the British version, so I'm not comparing it to that one.
As far as the hosts go.... The first 2 seasons were pretty good. I enjoyed the hosts much better than the 3rd season. The new hosts are EXTREMELY unfunny, even though they're trying really hard. They're trying to force people to laugh, and fail miserably at it. The first 2 seasons seemed very casual and unscripted, even though I'm sure it was.
As for the show itself, I enjoy the concept. I like that some of the instructions are left out of the recipes, so every contestant can make it just a bit different than everyone else. I found it really touching when the contestants help each other. They truly don't want anyone to be sent home.
Overall it's a really good show, but the 3rd season hosts are ruining it. I don't know if the budget had to be slashed and they couldn't afford Dan Levi anymore, but Carolyn Taylor was the worst possible choice. She's not a funny person in the least. The fact that she's best known for being a creator of Baroness Von Sketch Show proves it. If the producers of the Canadian Baking Show had checked IMDb, they would've known right away not to use her. Aurora Brown isn't much better either. At least she isn't anywhere near as annoying as Carolyn is though. My advice to the producers is this - change the hosts ASAP!
