The Big Family Cooking Showdown

Although the season 1 judges could be somewhat sniffy, they created an atmosphere that encouraged good food and presentation. They stressed quality in both food and how it looked. And they didn't suffer fools. The families on season 1 were there to do their best. Season 2 presenters were more laid-back, as were the contestant families. These hosts were lacklustre and not as professional as in season one. Many of the groups in season 2 were simply annoying, fighting amongst themselves, and were poor cooks to boot. The hosts let poor food quality and presentation from families off the hook far too often. Season 2 was a big disappointment. Season 3 could be amazing.

If you don't like listening to people breathe heavily and smacking their lips while they eat DONT WATCH THIS SHOW! Listening to all of that from the judges with a mic attached is bloody annoying. You'd think they could at least mute that.

Other than that the food looked good and the families were entertaining

I watched the first season and loved it and was excited to see season 2 was updated. I honestly was disappointed when I saw that we had new judges/hosts. I have never heard of either Judge Angelica or Tommy and found that their commentary on the meals seemed very repetitive. Also why are they showing the same recaps of the families almost every episode. I've seen the same script or dialalogue of Whites at least 3 times. We get it, you love British produce and you garden. I also liked that last season, they visited the families in their home. It's like they are trying to mimic great British bake off but with really bad producer handling it. Bottom line, judges were not likeable and just snarky.

Loved the first season but the second season was a big letdown. The whole atmosphere of the first one was quite enjoyable and comforting.

Liked the first season, but second season judge continued to put one family through though they did not do as well as other families. Definitely think Tom should go. He was not voting for what the families cooked but who he wanted to win.
