I've watched this season after season and this year was such a disappointment. There was nothing about the host of this year's series that demonstrated any respect for the contestants. With one contestant deciding to depart rather than "playing with sprinkles", the host's "favorite" baking ingredient, I'm shocked that they all didn't walk out. The entire season was like watching Alice in Wonderland talking to a group of very talented artists.....and she was oblivious. I certanly hope she's not for the next season.
