Sugar Rush Christmas

I don't mind Zumbo or Candace like the other reviewers--I appreciated their feedback to the bakers and their clear expertise. On the other hand, Hunter and Liza drove me crazy. Everything they said felt forced and over the top, like they were trying to shove Christmas spirit down our throats. I loved the bakers and the challenges, but I felt a lot of the things added to the show were totally unnecessary.

Each episode of "Sugar Rush Christmas" consists of four teams of two people making various baked items. After each round, one of the pair is eliminated and ultimately, the winners receive $10,000 and the prestige of winning.

I noticed in the review by dan_da_man-60288 that he mentioned this show and essentially said that they enjoy the show but prefer "Nailed It" and its Christmas shows. Well, I strongly agree. While I like "Sugar Rush Christmas", it does lack the fun and whimsy of its competition...and could used a bit of an infusion of silliness and fun. I think much of it is because the judges tend to be more reserved and les goofy as you'd find in "Nailed It" and a few other cooking shows. Overall, a nice cooking show but nothing much more.

I generally like the idea of this show, like the structure of it. But I don't know how to say this in the nicest possible way, the judges and the host have no personality to carry this show. Whenever they open their mouths it just seemed forced and I honestly don't want to listen to them.

I also don't like the upbeat background music every episode (it's annoying). In every episode all Hunter's lines are the same. For me personally he's just too abrasive to watch, annoying and above all: Not authentic.

The rest of the show is okay. I like the regular Sugar Rush more because i feel like there is more creativity. Literally in every episode of this season there were cupcakes and cakes with peppermint. It gets repetitive, same for christmas colours red and green. Candice and Zumbo are great as always and the interviews are also great to get to know the contestants a little bit better!

I watch this when I want a silly distraction. Like the contestants and some of the challenges. Some brilliant creations. What is up with Zumbo, he seems bored, like a little brat sitting at his desk in school. Why so dour? Are you depressed oh privileged one?
