All of the contestants are amazingly talented. Their skills make the show worth watching. Otherwise, it's tough to take. The constant jokes are not funny even though they show everyone rolling with laughter. Clearly forced editing. When they show the cakes at the end, keep the numbers visible! They show each one pretty fast and it's not easy to note which one is which. Kudos to whoever bakes the cakes behind the scenes. Direct from the land of Oz, Andrew Fuller is an adventure to watch. He has talent. They did a good job with all the guest judges they hired. Although they aren't necessarily "A" listers and I, personally, never heard of most of them, they had the right personalities and did their judging well.
Ok now, that was for season one. Season two isn't near as good. It's turned more into a circus. The boat makes way too many stupid forced jokes. There are too many forced reactions from the contestants. Overall the show has too much campyness. The quality of the cakes is not as good as season one. The new format is not so hot either. It seems sort of pointless to have some of the rejected contestants sit there doing nothing for 8 hours. What also is annoying is that some of the genuine props have been distressed to make them look like cake. In other words, it's been dumbed down.
