I love everything about this show except the timing element. Rather than giving these excellent bakers a platform to shine, they seem to deliberately allow less than necessary time to complete each challenge. The bakers are pretty much set up to fail. I don't think that deliberately exposing people to stress and anxiety makes for good television. If you don't require all partipants to have a physical exam before they compete, you should. This is not healthy and it is not kind.

This is a good show and reminds me a lot of Lost. But the tension is wsy too much and constant. There's never a break from it. I'm about to give up on the show and if you lost viewers, I'm sure this is why. It's not the writing, content, storylines or cast. They're all amazing. Ease up on the tension, add a little levity, back and or side stories. It can only help.
