Sugar Rush

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!

This was a great show to put on as I was doing things around the house. I made my way through the whole first season pretty quickly. Overall, I recommend it, though it lacks the charm of The Great British Baking Show.

As a couple of other reviewers have noted, it's so obvious that the contestants have been told their challenges ahead of time! Why don't they just drop the façade and let the audience know? I hate the fake conversations where they have to pretend that they're coming up with their creations on the spot.

I also feel like it's confusing and unfair that the clock doesn't stop (or does it?) when the judges talk to the contestants after round 1. There are several references to the clock continuing to run during this stage, but it's unclear if it actually does.

I agree with other reviewers that the host is a bit off-putting, but fairly neutral and bland. I could have done without his hitting on Candace (so uncomfortable for both the audience and for her, especially in the #metoo era).

Show is fine, just your average baking competition but the host is terrible. He takes regular situations and makes them awkward with his weird commentary. Literally anyone else could do that job better.

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

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.
