The delightful Eric Adjepong hosts Wildcard Kitchen which is very entertaining. He’s such a great host and Food Network seems to know this. I find it fascinating because he’s not a loud character at all but has really carved out a good TV career for himself. He’s dashing, witty and entertaining. Yeah I’m a huge fan😂 I remember being salty when they eliminated him half way through a finale (loved Kelsey and Sarah too but that was uncalled for as he had his entire menu ready) so I’m thrilled he seems to be doing so well post Top Chef.

The Mandy character/actress is awful! There is zero warmth or heart to her character. She's just constantly sour and disagreeable. I adore TBBT and love this show but she is the absolute worst!

I’m watching! Really enjoying it and that handsome pup has me swooning!

I really like Nickey so I spent half the episode raging because I was so sure they were going to screw her over when they announced that twist! Especially since her original cake sounded delicious and then to be slapped with an ingredient that actively worked against her flavours! But she saved herself!!!!!! Anna was the right elimination but I was fond of her too. I like everyone this season so I’m going to be fine with whoever wins. They’re all very good! I hate confetti but that confetti cake looked delicious.

Good riddance! I never liked him! Seemed humourless!

Thank you for this! I found his new show!!! Love it! Eric is a great host! Love his easy going manner. It’s actually so interesting that he’s made a career from hosting shows. He was never loud or crazy on Top Chef. I would not imagine him trying for Food Network Star but I enjoy his hosting very much!

😭😭😭 I love Eric and don’t like Maneet so that was a doozy for me! That was probably more sad for me than the Brooke loss which bummed me out already. Anyways hopefully he’ll be back with Alex for another season of Alex vs America. I’ve only got Antonia and Amanda whom I like left. Everyone else I’m so so about. Boo to the Michael vs Antonia match. I like them both!

Erica was so bad! I was worried she’d be one of those people they’d drag along until one of the competent contestants have a bad week and they eliminate them leaving her to win *cough cough the lady that won the sprinkles season * I like everyone so far! No one seems to be overly attention seeking *cough cough the lady with the accent that was 10 times stronger whenever she spoke to the judges * The judging perplexes me sometimes. There were two ugly fondant/ modeling chocolate flowers. One was declared bad while the other was pretty. They looked like they were the same quality!!! Are the judges blind???

Woooooohoooooooo they walked it back!!!! I’m so relieved! YS George is too good of a character to destroy. I don’t care if it doesn’t 100% make perfect sense. They started this show after TBBT and there was no way they could have known how the characters would evolve or what the actors would make of their characters. It’s more feel good this way and I’m all for feeling good! Plus if one wants to be super picky, how do you explain that Leonard’s bully looks identical to George? Reincarnation? Doppelgänger? I’m so happy they decided to go with this!

I thought it was just me!!! I’ve never warmed to her even in the first season of Top Chef and I found her more annoying and obnoxious as time went by!!!

I wonder if part of the motivation is that she doesn’t have to deal with the cheating Russians either. No need to break your bones trying to learn quads when your competitors had an unfair advantage all along.

Farewell Jack you legend! You will always be the heart and soul of Law and Order for me. I burst into tears at that last shot of him in his hat and coat. How many times have we seen him walking off in his coat over the years? This will be the last time. Thrilled he left on a win whilst also plotting strategically. I will miss him but at the same time I can enjoy the reruns as I assume he’ll be retiring somewhere nice and occasionally have a chat with Mike, Connie or Abby.

Broooooke😭😭😭 Nooooooo 😭😭😭 Hopefully I’ll see you on Triple Threat! I like Shirley but am a wee tad more fond of Joe S so this was not a good ep for me. I am pleasantly surprised they aired the Amanda v Darnell portion. I was bracing myself for them to bury it in some weird way. I approve! He existed, he competed against Amanda, air it quickly and never refer to him again. It makes more sense than if they tried to bury it.

What happened? What is the deal with the missing kid? I could not last until the end but I still want to know about the mystery. Thank you in advance!

Jack/Sam has always been the face of Law and Order for me. He’s always been so real to me, I feel like I’ve been along for the ride of his entire career. Law and Order did an amazing job of bringing their main characters to life, whilst simultaneously revealing fairly little about them. I also loved Ben whom I discovered after Jack. As a devoted Jack fan, it was odd to find myself developing a huge crush on Ben! So strange!

Spoil me please gang! I won’t get to watch this until a few days from now! I love spoilers!!!

Amanda posted on Facebook about ToC. I guess I’m assuming that she wins?

This format makes no sense!!!! Has no one pointed this out to the network! It is the most stupid thing ever and is so aggravating in its stupidity and lack of fairness!!!! Grrrrr On the other hand I like Malarky as a judge. I think he’s lovely and constructive!

Up until now I have disliked him less than the majority of people on this board but he was AWFUL in the two qualifying episodes! He mis pronounced terms, sounded like he had zero interest in being there and simply did not even try which I find extremely offensive. I'm with you! Pay him! Pay him as much as they want to, go nuts with the nepotism, but do not put him on our screens and inflict him on us!

She meets some random girl at a party and puts her in charge of her runner toddler in a busy market? People probably do dumb stuff like this all the time but I’m shaking my head at the stupidity! What if the nanny girl was in a child kidnapping ring and befriended her to get access to her kids???? And she lets the other nanny give him a lolly in the morning? I know she expressed horror at it but she should have known about it and laid down rules for it to never happen! Haha sounds like I’m complaining a lot but I love love love the show! Was skeptical about episode one but now I’m hooked! Love Nicole’s yellow dress with the flowers! I wants!!!!!

Great episode!!!! Both the law and order sides lived up to their potential today. I appreciated the development and excitement of various aspects during the episode. Considering the delicate nature of the topic I thought they handled it well without preaching. More just a sad lament which is a fair reflection of the state of the world imo.

Oh he totally did!!! I loved it when he’d stop by for a flirty banter with Dan!

I agree with this and this is where I have to give credit to Noel and Alison. They may have their favourites but they make an effort to be genuinely warm and bond with all the contestants. They’re also very supportive to anyone who needs support. I really respect them for that.

Most satisfying season ever!!! 😊

Another chestnut lover here! My favourite cake in the world is a chestnut cream cake! I boil my chestnuts when they’re in season! I prefer them boiled to roasted, I find them more tender that way.
