He's attitude totally takes away from anything his looks bring to the table.
PR -- knits? Seriously I saw that was wrong. Also Id idn't watch the whole thing because I was watching Pitch so I only saw the top and bottom looks.
Also I realized almost all the last 1/2 hour is judging and I kind of like that because you get to hear more expanded comments. Although tonight it meant I had to hear more of Nina Garcia. Frankly I think that PR could do with a judging overhaul. Trade Zac Posen and Nina Garcia for others and keep Heidi and Tim.
Here's a rather nice piece about what Mary Berry brings to Bake-Off.

I read somewhere that GBBO won't be starting on C4 until 2018, so next summer will be Bake-Off free.
Project Runway: So, prison jumpsuits are flattering to all body types?
I guess and the color was so boring and ugh.
I didn't really like the other top look that was made out of.. neoprene? I missed that part but it was so stiff and bulky looking.
Still haven't watched any of this season of PR, but chiming in to say that I also enjoy hearing the extended judging discussions. I've always been kind of meh on Nina, I think because her editorial viewpoint is so far removed from my taste (honestly Heidi's "I would wear that" often sum up my opinion) but now and then she reminds me that she is a powerhouse in the fashion world with her judging and those moments are pretty sweet.
Mary Berry, Mel, and Sue to start a new show on the BBC. link
it sounds like Mary Berry got quite a good deal with BBC.
All speculation so far. The real challenge is going to be creating something sufficiently different from
Bake Off so that Love Productions don't sue (which they already threatened to do with regards to a couple of Bake-Off-Like shows the BBC made. They settled out of court). The lawyers are going to be all over this one.
FYI, last time I checked there were no GBBO eps on you tube because bbc had just swept them all out. But right now they're back--I just watched the first few eps of series 7!
I'm disappointed that the Halloween Baking Championship on the Food Network doesn't have the same judges as the Spring Baking Championship. Does Carla Hall make having to watch Sandra Lee worth it?
