Yes, yes. This episode was so very annoying. So maybe it's not surprising that the mystery I am most eager to solve is WTF was in those jars in front of June and OfMatthew? Pickled vegetables, pig's feet, body parts? So confused.

I enjoyed this season. Agree that time given is setting the bakers up for failure. That said, I think a lot of the fun is seeing how they pivot to try to get something under the dome. One HUGE quibble, playing off JessDVD's comment about the interchangability of buttercream/frosting etc.: On the NYE ep with Jason Mantzoukas and his egg allergy, the bakers are told to use "royal icing." A standard ingredient in royal icing is egg white or meringue powder (made with egg white). I was terrified that Jason would have an allergic reaction.

I thought the music choice was great during the hairdressing scene. It's scored with "Zadok the Priest." Written by Handel for the coronation of Henry II, it's been performed at every coronation since. Was an apt soundtrack to Queen Elizabeth getting "crowned" with her iconic hair style.
