Easy-Bake Battle: The Home Cooking Competition

Who are these people? World travelers, Instagramers, beauty execs, luxury real estate sellers, influencers? Not your regular everyday people, contestants fond of throwing out information that comes across as elitist. Another reviewer mentioned favoritism and I agree. The host seems very biased. Still it was an enjoyable watch, some good dishes were created and some helpful tips shared. Hopefully, there is a more economically diverse contestant search next time and from all over the country. If you are spending $25,000 per week per winner, let's see different regions. I don't think California based shows are quite in touch with the rest of the country. Personally I'd like to see a church lady cook off show, epic local dishes made by competitive church ladies. Maybe a grandma or grandpa competitive cook off. Let's see some older people represented.

While I like Anthony from Queer Eye, and actually started watching this because of him, I can't help but think that there was some serious favouritism for Gisele for some unknown reason. Other cooks often seemed to have better dishes yet she won again and again. Her lack of humility and constant outpouring of tears and just made her all the more annoying and tiresome. I thought that I would see the show through, in the hopes that other good cooks would be recognized for their talent but with her continuous winning, the show became too one-sided and I decided to stop watching so that I wouldn't see her win.

I mean just say that you don't care about the food and you just wanna give the win to the whitest trash dish out of the line up . The judges in some rounds made comments which were just because they had to cut . In an episode literally they shot down innovation saying it is too risky . Lmao. What is food without innovation and risk . The judging is a joke . Some cooking hacks were usefull , and that's all I got out of this .

On the bright side the participants were people who weren't great cooks to begin with and got a stage to challenge themselves . They challenges were intersting and some really interesting dishes came out of it given the time frame .

Watch it or skip it ?

A 100% skip .

Hmmm. Well, while I like Antoni, his judging skills are very poor. He seemed to choose the pregnant contestants just because of that fact and maybe she might really need the money... This show overall is so so... Can I finish this season? I'm really not sure.

I absolutely love cooking shows because I love to cook and this one didn't make me feel excited at all. There were only three contestants (Dave, Aprille and Michael) who I would clap for and weirdly enough they added that 'extraness' that should've gotten them to another round but hey, I'm not surprised at all but guess who they chose lol...

First off, I love antoni. Huge fan of him from queer eye and he's equally great in this. But the concept/rules of this show are just unfair. The winner of each episode continues on and battles against 2 new people. But the champion now has a HUGE unfair advantage. They know the rules, what the judge likes, the tools in the kitchen, how to navigate the kitchen, etc... They also get more chances to win money vs someone who might eventually beat them/join in a later episode. So, while this was a good easy watching show it was also frustrating seeing someone have such an advantage every episode. If they make more of this they need to tweak the rules.
