As a trained baker I do love to watch the baking championship shows. However, the spring championship that just ended was really hard to watch. I am sure Molly is a wonderful person and certainly is enthusiastic about, well - everything. She needs to mature more into the role. It was a good group of bakers, and I do understand why Romy quit at the end. Sprinkles - really? Cookie salad? I am a Minnesotan and that is not part of our "culture". That's just embarrassing. You can't get any better judges than Duff and Nancy. So professional. I noticed they seemed to fade into the background this season. Why is that? May I suggest? Bring Duff and Nancy more front and center as judges. It would be great if Lorraine Pascal could be brought back. The three judges we so well matched. As far as hosts: Jesse Palmer. Obviously eye candy, but he is kind, he is professional.
