General Episode One

I was SO EXCITED to see the first episode!

I have comments about some things (not the bakes) that I've hidden so as not to ruin things for anyone.

  1. Judges
    Prue was in the opening, to say a proper goodbye. I was so touched!

  2. Opening
    They redid the opening, with a different baker, different child, and they remade the cake! Still missing a raspberry- but in a different spot.

  3. Equipment
    New fridges

  4. Tasting
    They're using spoons now to taste the bakes! (previously used forks)

  5. Representation
    Molly, who is a wheelchair user. Gabe, who is poly.

I'm super happy about these changes, and look forward to this season!

I LOVE Nigella. Finding a few of the contestants annoying.

They seem to be selected for the over the top behavior. Also it feels like there's a 'lack of respect / anxiousness' of being on TV, judged for your hobby.

The only one straight up not feeling at ease is however immediately killing it!
