Delicias de ingeniería

I started watching this because I had nothing else to watch. I was pleasantly surprised to see Andrew Smyth judging! I enjoyed him very much when he was a contestant on Bake Off.

The premise of the show is interesting. Bakers and engineers work together to make a functional edible treat. I can't help but think, however, that just because your creation is made of edible materials who would actually want to eat that? It seems quite wasteful.

I also don't like, and I'm only 3 episodes in, that the contestants haven't changed partners. Every episode they should change partners. It's painful watching "X" constantly "fail" because "Y" keeps screwing up.

I'm fine with the judging. Seems fair. A baker who is also an engineer, a baker, and then an engineer. Each can offer constructive criticism.

I notice, and other people have pointing out, sneaky editing tricks. Cuts just as someone's project actually fell apart, for instance. How was that not considered a problem? Don't think I didn't notice, because I did. Also, contestants always wearing the same clothes. That's another editing trick so in case someone says something juicy or they catch a weird face the editors can put it where they want. Not cute. We want "reality" in reality TV.

Imma keep watching, but it needs some work.

It's a baking show, what do you expect? It's fun and the fact that the success depends on 2 people adds a different element. Thoroughly enjoyed! One question though, they are wearing the same clothes the whole time... no way that it's filmed back to back, they would all be delusional. What gives?? Haha.

The challenges were really fun, taking a spin on baking on adding a cool element of rethinking what food can do. However, the judges and editing are annoying. The contestants were fairly likable, save for one really annoying pair. The winner was well deserved, which I appreciated.

I like it BUT WHY are the people wearing the exact same outfit for every episode it makes no sense. It feels fake. So they not go home and get ready for the next day. Confusing!

We're enjoying it as a family, but the sheer quantity of food waste leaves a bad taste in the mouth. It'd feel more responsible if they disclosed what happened to the food afterwards, and you'd hope that a majority of the ingredients was past its sell-by date. If there's a series 2 can the production team please bear this in mind.
