Sugar Rush

I think the ability to save your time is a neat twist but I think a cool feature to announce the elimination would be is if they had the breakers for each stations lights in another room and then they left to discuss it and without saying a word just flip off their lights

The host is a snooze and the amazing resource of Zumbo's presence is not used at all.

I don't know why so many other reviewers are criticizing the host. It is obvious that there is a bit more planning that goes on behind the scenes, since the contestants have access to things that wouldn't normally be in a standard pastry kitchen. However, I think the host adds a lot of enthusiasm to the show. One of the things I love is that it is always surprising and enjoyable, but doesn't have the negative drama that is present on some cooking shows. This is one show that my husband, my 5 yr old granddaughter and I can all watch together.

Compared to some of the other cooking competitions Netflix has rolled out most recently (Nailed It comes to mind), this one is definitely above the rest. The borrowed time strategy adds a flair of uniqueness that keeps the relatively dated concept new. The host, on the other hand, comes off as that kind of middle manager that everyone's had at some point in their life, and is overly condescending to the contestants - it made the show difficult to watch whenever he came on. I think they were trying to have him motivate the contestants, but he clearly is not equipped to do that when his form of motivation is outright negative.

I really enjoy this show and I'm super happy the second season is out. I just enjoy it for what it is: something fun and easy to watch on a rainy Saturday when I need a break! I love that each episode is a stand-alone so I can just watch at random. I don't mind the host or judges at all. I love all the bright colours and fun, current themes for the challenges. I realize there is more behind the scenes planning put into their creations but I don't care. A Netflix win for me!
