Halloween Baking Championship

This used to be a serious baking show. Now the contestants are expected to constantly talk to each other and the literal peanut gallery commentary is so irritating and annoying. Get back to basics. This may be the last time I see this show. It's a shame because nothing is more fun than creative Halloween baking.

I've loved this show from the very beginning but this season 11 has been painful to watch. Watching Melanie's constant whining/crying and all the other fake drama is like what I assume stepping on a nest of water moccasins would be like. Please Please do better at casting these bakers so the fun is back in the show.

I started watching this with my family cause we thought it would be fun and cool to watch, since it's nearing halloween. We were wrong. The funniest thing about it is the decorating. It's a halloween BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP. They should know how to decorate a cake better than they did. There were cracks in fondant, and the cakes were overall ugly. To top it all off one of them literally had raw pie crust. The judges don't even say anything about it either. Only if they don't enjoy something taste wise. They just don't judge as hardcore as you would expect. I'd rather watch halloween wars which is far more entertaining.

I'm halfway through episode 2 and I just want to turn it off.

Used to be watching this show made me want to head to the kitchen and bake something because of all the new techniques and flavors I was l seeing.

No more. It's just chit chat. I know more about these bakers' families than I know about what they're baking. Very little actual baking. No creativity...just talking and then mistakes and then freak outs and then...it's over.

And the new format is confusing. So...they all bake in the first round and some wins $1,000. Then the bottom 3 have a bake for your life round. Meanwhile everyone not presenting their food stands up in a gallery where we get all their expressions and reactions.

That's it...this show is all about stories and tales and 'why I baked this!' Go back to actual...you know...baking...

I have been watching this program for the past year and this year and it seems to be a Halloween tradition around Halloween it is very educational to watch you can learn a lot about how to bake and even get some ideas for your own Halloween treats all of the contestants are very like able as is john Henson ;this seasons host ;and the judges are mostly nice as well but honest and fair at the same time I am glad they changed the host this season Jeff Dunam had a very bad habit of cursing on the show and this is very family friendly show I love it and thank God for it I say if your looking to get festive this is a perfect way to start prepping for halloween
