The Big Family Cooking Showdown

I just finished watching the first season which I really liked. I started the 2nd season to find the entire format changed including hosts and location. It was so bad I couldn't finish watching the 2nd episode, the new hosts have no chemistry, the new location is horrible and the contestants (as far as I saw) were pretty corny plus the food didn't even look that great. The first season was SO MUCH BETTER!!

If you don't like listening to people breathe heavily and smacking their lips while they eat DONT WATCH THIS SHOW! Listening to all of that from the judges with a mic attached is bloody annoying. You'd think they could at least mute that.

Other than that the food looked good and the families were entertaining

I'm three episodes into the second season and I think I'm going to pass on the rest. I enjoyed watching the home cooks in the first season however these current ones seem to be in it more for a laugh then bringing real talent to the table. A let down!

I watched the first season and loved it and was excited to see season 2 was updated. I honestly was disappointed when I saw that we had new judges/hosts. I have never heard of either Judge Angelica or Tommy and found that their commentary on the meals seemed very repetitive. Also why are they showing the same recaps of the families almost every episode. I've seen the same script or dialalogue of Whites at least 3 times. We get it, you love British produce and you garden. I also liked that last season, they visited the families in their home. It's like they are trying to mimic great British bake off but with really bad producer handling it. Bottom line, judges were not likeable and just snarky.

The first season was charming with great hosts and judges, and had a lovely atmosphere. Second season with a change of hosts, judges, location and format lost all the charm of the first. 9/10 for first season, 5/10 for the second.
