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?

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It it still an hour and a half? I gave up on PR when they made it that long. Too much padding.

It is, but only the first airing. They trim down the repeats and, I think, the On Demand. I watch On Demand, mostly, and the air time is about an hour. I'm not sure what I'm missing, of course.

I am liking most of the designers this season/ Roberi is fantastic, though I am glad Rik won, I LOVE his swimsuit and coverup.

Oh, no, team challenge next week looks harrowing.

From what I've seen they cut down the critique...mostly the judges closer looks I think, a bunch of the stuff showing reworks, and anone who was safe.

Last night at about quarter after they started the runway critique.

I Tivo, then watch. I watch the challenge, Tim's critique, the runway, the judges look at the outfit (but not the deliberation after) and the result. Takes about 20 minutes. I used to watch the makeup section, but after Makeup Bear left, I skip it.
