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.
Non-Fiction TV: I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own

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?
No.
well ... it could be amusing in a kind of trainwreck of food kind of way ....
I still can't believe the woman who had recipes calling for people to buy a pie and then scrape out the filling had a show on Food Network.
And the never to be forgotten Kwanzaa cake.
Yeah the Kwanzaa cake.
And telling people to be careful about handling bell peppers.
Cuz the spice can burn.
