Sugar Rush Christmas

I just keep end up watching this show when new Nailed It runs out.

This has the same issues as the normal show. Hunter March is funny at times, but Candace and Zumbo could be replaced with cardboard cutouts and nobody would notice a difference. The guest judges are nothing special either, usually just some random from a show nobody's watching on Netflix. The one exception was Liza Koshy, a comedienne who had some legitimately hilarious moments in her episodes. No spoilers, but the "Christmas Spirit" episode is well worth the watch just for her.

The challenges are largely pretty vague, and even for the "Christmas" theme there's very little direction. There's still this false pretense of the contestants not knowing the challenges ahead of time. "Oh I just HAPPENED to have this obscure bottle of blackberry liqueur that's perfect for the theme of this challenge!"

So if you liked the regular version, this isn't worse, it just isn't any better.

I also don't like the upbeat background music every episode (it's annoying). In every episode all Hunter's lines are the same. For me personally he's just too abrasive to watch, annoying and above all: Not authentic.

The rest of the show is okay. I like the regular Sugar Rush more because i feel like there is more creativity. Literally in every episode of this season there were cupcakes and cakes with peppermint. It gets repetitive, same for christmas colours red and green. Candice and Zumbo are great as always and the interviews are also great to get to know the contestants a little bit better!

I watch this when I want a silly distraction. Like the contestants and some of the challenges. Some brilliant creations. What is up with Zumbo, he seems bored, like a little brat sitting at his desk in school. Why so dour? Are you depressed oh privileged one?

Each episode of "Sugar Rush Christmas" consists of four teams of two people making various baked items. After each round, one of the pair is eliminated and ultimately, the winners receive $10,000 and the prestige of winning.

I noticed in the review by dan_da_man-60288 that he mentioned this show and essentially said that they enjoy the show but prefer "Nailed It" and its Christmas shows. Well, I strongly agree. While I like "Sugar Rush Christmas", it does lack the fun and whimsy of its competition...and could used a bit of an infusion of silliness and fun. I think much of it is because the judges tend to be more reserved and les goofy as you'd find in "Nailed It" and a few other cooking shows. Overall, a nice cooking show but nothing much more.

Please get those girls to put their hair up it's absolutely disgusting hair all over the place while they're cooking food so unprofessional and unsanitary
