Cake Wars

These cakes have to be made in a ridiculously short amount of time with weird ingredients; and these bakers bring us some amazing cakes.

These judges are just snarky, they make stupid faces (Waylynn Lucas), offer no helpful criticism, and are very difficult to watch. During their mid-episode walk around their goal seems to be to discourage and demotivate the bakers.

Get rid of these snobs!

The judges have become extremely rude and it makes watching the show less appealing. I don't feel there's any reason to be so rude criticizing and nasty to anyone. Neither of the judges would like to be spoken to in the manner they speak to the contestants. They both should be ashamed of themselves. Further more I really hope both of the judges get to experience the criticism they dish out perhaps they will recognize how yucky it feels to have anyone speak to you so poorly. Shame on the judges for their poor judging skills and targeting of some contestants. The judges rude condescending attitude and words ruin the show!!!

I can't stand the women judge Waylynn. I have seen some great cakes and she's always got to say something smart to say (not in a good way) the show would be so much better without her. Just get rid of her!!!!

I love this show almost as much as I love Cupcake Wars. (I sure wish Food Network would bring it back!) Waylynn and Richard are not enjoyable judges to watch or listen to. I'm sure Waylynn is a nice person and doesn't intend to come off the way she does but it is painful to watch her judge. She is often so discouraging and critical. I am sitting here watching a rerun of an episode. Waylynn just told a contestant that their cake "is just as unappealing and unappetizing on the inside and it is on the outside." Wow - It isn't fun to watch someone get crushed. Richard Ruskell comes off as a complete jerk. It's hard to enjoy the show when I spend a major portion of it feeling sorry for the contestants. The host is annoying. He tries to hard to be goofy and quirky but it is too forced and the judges don't "play along". It's so awkward. If he would just be cheerful it would be a thousand times better. -- Cake Wars should take its cues from Sugar Rush. Candace Nelson is a perfect judge. So kind and encouraging even when she has to give negative comments. The host is fun but not overly so. He's friendly and has a good rapport with the judges.

FOOD NETWORK - Please listen to the reviews! We've been telling you for years. Get kinder judges and tell Justin to tone it down or get a someone else.

Then don't say anything at all and that's exactly what Waylynn Lucas should do. I've never met before a more judgmental judge than her in any other show. Same goes for mr. Bowtie and his always sourpuss face by the way. I'd like to see them being contestants on this show and creating one of these enormous cakes in ridiculously small amounts of time. I'd bet they would be voted off in the first round!

Jonathan Bennett, although nice to look at, is just annoying and acting like he's hosting some sort of ridiculous game show. He'd come off a lot better just standing there quietly.

All in all, nice concept but very poorly executed.
