My wife began watching this show a couple of weeks ago. I overheard it one afternoon and sat in for that show and all the others in the series. A lifelong fan of sports, I love the competition... and I appreciated that the contestants were good sports to boot. Big gives constructive criticism without being acerbic... he clearly knows his stuff, but he never talks down to the bakers competing. And he is never mean. I was disappointed there wasn't a second series already in the can. I'm a fan!
