Yes! I love how Americans treat Mary Berry and the way British and American double entendres sneak in.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Rita Ora is no Tyra. I'm just saying. It also looks like neither of the Jays are attached and a whole new judge panel. Sniff.
With all that, I will still probably check out the first episode just to see what's what.

Top Chef: I am not really okay with where they chose to do the first quick fire. Even before the two people were decided. Ugh.

I watched the Great American Baking Show and was less than impressed. I thought it was a one-off, but it's an elimination series. I kind of liked the guy who decorated his bundt cake with cherries that he'd covered with edible (I assume) gold leaf.

It's a variant on the Great British Bake-Off, but they can't use the term Bake-Off in America, because the Pillsbury Company copyrighted that back in the 30s or something. Mary Berry is/was one of the judges of GBBO until the BBC sold the show to Channel 4 and three-quarters of the host team said they were going to stay with the BBC instead of going to the new boss.

Yup - I knew that - I just expected something that was more like the GBBO in tone. I did like that both judges and the hosts seemed to be trying to be nice (as in the BBC version). sigh ... I missed Sue's funny voices

The couple they've got are nice, but no, they're not Sue and Mel. And I miss the side stories on the history of the item.
