Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not going to lie, Big Brother All-Stars is exactly what I needed this summer.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hadn't heard of it, but I'll be watching it now! I love baking competitions.

mmmm no, I don't like the format of Big Time Bake. The "send them home in the middle of their work" thing kinda hurts to see. But we never got a chance to connect with the bakers, so I also kinda don't care.

Yeah, I'm not sure whether I'll bother with the next season (if there is one). I only started watching because the first episode featured a local chef (Chef Maeve) that I've actually met and quite like. The thing you spoiler-fonted also bothers me, plus the format just seems unnecessarily stressful, which is really not what I'm here for in a baking show. (I get irritated even on GBBO when I hear the stressy violins as time is getting down to the wire). I mostly asked not because I need someone to discuss it with, but because my DVR cut off the last minute of the season finale and I needed to find out who won (without having to watch the whole episode again On Demand - not without my FF!), but thankfully someone on FB was able to handle my query.
