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.

I'm very disappointed with the winner of this week's challenge on Project Runway.
I like the Great American Baking Show as long as I don't compare it too much to its British counterpart. The talent of the home bakers on the American show is far inferior imho.
