I anxiously await every new season and get a lot of inspiration from the show... this year was a disappointment. The theme of the country's desserts didn't work well (in my opinion). In general I like Carla Hall but she seems to get more animated and loud with every show she is on. Carla was a bit much for this show- my impression of her was "Look at ME! Not the contestant's creation." I also didn't care for the "Bake Off" ... I much preferred the skill drill then the elimination challenge.
