I bowed out after episode 2 or 3. I just couldn't stand her on the show. There have been other hosts that I wasn't particularly fond of, but I still enjoyed the show. I don't know why she was just so much worse than the others but I could not stand to watch it.
I'd check in here every week to see if it got any better because I really do love all these shows.
If she shows up on Halloween Baking I think we should riot.

I dont know any of the contestants because I have to fast forward through all of Molly No's scenes, and they have inserted her everywhere.
Food Channel trying to make her happen, so I'm sure they are telling her to be OTT. Doesn't matter, I can't stand watching her sugar sweet passive aggressive mean girl act.

Re Lexi and Fez...let's see, their first scene together had him beating the snot out of Nate, and the second had Ash beating the hell out of Cal with the butt of a shotgun. Yet people still keep shipping them? I hope Lexi is smarter. Run girl.
Preach! I don't care how nice he is. He is a freaking drug dealer. Lexi isn't going to come in and turn him into Mike Brady, He lives a dangerous life that will most likely end in one of two ways: death or prison.
Those closest to him will likely have their lives end in one of those ways too. Lexi is like the one normal one. Why would people want to mix her up with a criminal?
Maybe she can date Ethan when Kat finally gets bored enough. I think it's an interesting take with Kat. It shows those kids reading all that smut online get a deranged sense of how relationships work. She wasn't excited until the dude "killed" Ethan and forced himself on her. Makes you think...

It did seem like Joseph's dessert should have knocked him out, but I think they don't show us the whole critique.
Ellora for the W. She is the most adorable child they have ever had on the show and she doesn't mug for the camera or talk like she's 4 years old. Just love her.
As far as children baking, I was making all the birthday cakes in our house probably by the age of 8. I would spend the summers with my grandparents and learned real quick that if I wanted to stay in the house and not in the heat on the farm with the bugs and snakes I helped grandma.
She had me on a chair at 5 years old frying eggs and making grits. They didn't have the restrictions you have now for children, and I'd say by 3rd grade I made dinner for our family 50% of the time. Kids can do way more than we think if we let them.

Plus, the spotlights likely make the kitchen much warmer than they're used to.
There are different greens, though, and I'm pretty sure that he could have put the whole bottle in and it wouldn't have turned forest green or evergreen green.
That said, I have no idea if they provide the proper green.
I'm an author and in one of my books the character is on my "dream" baking show. I did research with some people who have been on these types of shows and they all say how the lights are so hot that they melt everything.

Remind me who Julia was; what were her cookies? With all the reruns they're playing from different seasons, they're all running together!
I think she was from Brazil and she covered everything in a ton of fondant and they kept telling her to stop but she didn't. She made a house for her last one with a little Julia and a Dog and everything was fondant again. She might have won if she found a different way than fondant.
Oh and she kept bitching about Damiano that he was too picky, and if any other contestants asked a question like "what are you making" she was incredibly rude to them.
She was a little better when she was on Holiday Baking Championship so maybe she isn't as big of an A-Hole as she was portrayed and watched her P's and Q's the next time she was on TV. I've never actively wanted someone to lose as much as I wanted her to lose (on both shows).

I really like Eddie, and Ree.
I remember the Witchmas episode, and it's the only time I was hoping someone wouldn't win, and it was the reason I didn't watch her reality show too.
Her, and that lady Julia. OMG she was about the biggest A-Hole they've ever had on this show. She showed up on Holiday Baking Championship afterwards and I couldn't wait for her to get voted off even though she acted slightly better on that show.

I read he was friends with Jeffrey Epstein and damn near had his own seat on the Jeffrey Epstein plane. It'll be interesting if anything comes out of the Ghislaine Maxwell upcoming trial.
Bill Clinton is a predator and they don't change. He just found a way to do it where it wouldn't come out. God I hope it does!

I also remember that there still was this regressive notion that attractive women would have men take financial care of them and therefore we should not be thinking about things like medical or law school. It was dying out but the attitude was still there. South Park even did an episode about it ( they had all the pretty girls were in Home Economics and the boys and the ugly girls were in Shop Class because they would have to learn a trade).
I did have girls in my University in the early 2000s who went there mainly looking for husbands. It was called an MRS degree.
Monica seemed to me like her main ambition was to marry a successful wealthy man, like her mother. Unfortunately, where she grew up, wealthy men seemed to prefer tall thin blondes (also like her mother). Monica was quite attractive but she did not meet this California ideal and it seemed to do a real number on her self-esteem.
My best friend was in your position and when she was 12 her uncle copped a feel. Her Mom told her to stop wearing tight shirts and not to be alone with men. This was the 80's. The blame was totally put on a 12 year old.
I work in manufacturing and I was deemed to attractive. When men messed up I would get blamed for being a "distraction". I'm no super model for sure, but I guess because I'm not considered "ugly" I had no business trying to make a career for myself when I should be able to get someone to do that for me.

It did indeed. Lots of dial-up in those days, and limited network capacity for user traffic and data transmission.
At the time, maybe a dozen people understood all of the players and what they were trying to do. It was a big, fat, wasted $70M mess.
Of course. But times were different 25 years ago, in terms of how women were treated in general. Men were still smacking women on the fanny, openly commenting on their appearance in work environments, preventing them from doing their jobs. (Ken Starr relegated the pregnant attorney to the background, and Colin Hanks remarked that Starr was "old fashioned.") Broaderick would have been horrified at the thought of how she would be treated and blamed for the alleged assault.
On a lighter note, I had to laugh at Coulter's reference to the "stupid Bush."
Having finished binging the season, my primary annoyance was how girlish and breathy Monica sounded at all times. Well, except for when she thundered at Linda in the hotel: "Linda, what did you do?!" She holds responsibility for eagerly seeking a consensual affair with her boss and a family man.
I used to be told every day back during that time that I was taking a job from some poor man that needed to support a family. I was attractive so I should have my pick of husbands. No joke, this was how I was treated in the mid to late 90's.
Broaderick would have most certainly been blamed. Why did she go into the room with him? Back then poor men couldn't be held accountable for their own appendages. Women were supposed to not put them in a situation that would cause them to do bad things. If they did, well that was on them. Rape was a back alley someone you don't know kind of thing, not something that happened with a man you already knew.
It's sickening but it's the truth.

Monica did mention that "tomorrow was beets day". Sounds like a diet I was on for a short while around that time period - each day was something different, I think it was called the Air Force diet or something. One day was canned tuna, one day was cottage cheese, one day was ______??? I don't remember bananas and milk. Anyway it was horrible and I only lasted maybe a week.
Oh you are right! I quit on banana and milk day!

I think the writer's room was so telling. As a society we are so used to giving the man a pass because some sexy amoral woman tempted them and they were defenseless to say no. We do this from the time they are in school, dress codes because boys can't be responsible for their behavior in school.
Because Monica didn't fit that mold, they were surprised. It didn't fit the dialog that a man just can't help himself with a traditionally sexy woman, and they didn't know what to do with it.

I feel like we've all been punked.

Me when Monica ran into Linda in the mall and that bitch had went shopping:
If that really happened Linda probably stayed around thinking they might need her and she wanted to be close. She was so messed up.

It really was.
Among other things, it caused me to consider whether Colin Hanks has turned into a better actor than his father.
And Fred Melamed can do no wrong. Looks like he's lost a little weight, which I'm glad about.
Poor Colin Hanks is so underrated. He's an incredible actor. I've loved him since his Roswell days.

Reminds me of the champion from my favorite season. Nadiya tanked on technicals in the beginning and then all of a sudden turned it around and became a juggernaut.
I thought Giuseppe's response to the handshake was so sweet, actually tearing up. Loving him.
I really don't dislike any of the contestants, but man, there are a lot of inherently whiny sounding accents among the females. Freya and Lizzie definitely, but even Rochica a bit.
I have to use closed captioning. I can't understand half of what Freya says.

That's the kind of free-standing house I wouldn't mind living in, if it were in a quiet, safe neighbourhood. I really loved Juanita's house. I love that style, with the wrap-around porch. I'm imagining it with a porch swing. I always give in to all the housing clichés!!
I was actually wondering if they were going to cast someone as Juanita and I'm glad that she's in it. She's an important part of this story. Those manipulative leeches trying to guilt trip her into giving a statement by bringing God into the conversation??!! I wanted to scream and stomp on their feet!! Met too many of those people when I was at church. One of the reasons why stopped going.
It's not unreasonable to expect the actors playing the parts of real people to resemble them. The only thing that Beanie and Monica seem to have in common is that they both have dark hair.
It is so wild to think those PI's were Miranda Lambert's parents!

I wish he could be the judge on all the baking competitions!
I loved him when he was on Halloween Baking Championship and his own show, Sweet Genius. He really gets the right amount of praise with a little constructive criticism right.

I don't really consider Beanie a "star".
It's so rare that female actors are actually curvy in 2021, which sucks. Kat is one of the few. People online mentioned Mae Whitman, who I think also doesn't look like Monica, and Bel Powley. Bel would have to gain weight and her eyes are just so big and bulgy.
Margaret Qualley actually looks like Monica. But she's so skinny.
They had no problem popping Sarah into a fat suit, so they could have done the same. Beanie takes the whole experience of this show down because I just don't see her as Monica, and I don't think it's Beanie's fault. They shouldn't have cast her.

Anything that brings Ron Ben-Israel back to my tv is a good thing. I don't know what happened but he seemed to disappear from the Food Network. On every show he's been on he's always been my favorite judge. He judges with such compassion and is so unique I just love him.

They reaired last season sometime last week and I had forgotten Renee made it to the final three. I understand even less why they brought her back now, it's not like she was cut too soon to show her stuff last time.
There was another season that brought back a contestant that was in the finale for season 2. I thought that was a bunch of BS. I think she was a 911 operator. I don't wish her any ill will, but if you get to the final 3 you shouldn't get to come back and compete again unless it's a second chance type deal with all previous contestants.

I felt this about both Linda and Monica with the job entitlement. They both bitched so, so much about working at the Pentagon. Ok, so I'm not American so maybe there is some major nuance that I'm missing, but working at the Pentagon seems really impressive to me. If I met two people and one worked at the White House and the other at the Pentagon, I'd honestly be equally impressed. In fact depending on what their jobs were, I could be much more impressed by the person who works in the Pentagon. And considering that Linda was in a secretarial type of role in the White House and received a $20k/p/a salary increase to work at the Pentagon, she probably had the more impressive job title at the Pentagon.
I fully understand that she knew full well that she was being sent away. And I get that the White House was a more luxurious and all round pleasant environment to be in. But $20k in the mid-90s is a massive salary bump. She still had a job that would have impressed just about anyone she talked to. And she would have been able to comfort herself at the spartan surrounds by spending all her lovely extra money!I lived on $20,000 a year in the early 90's!

Hey, Food Network! How about a special - or even a series - of your 'experts' competing against each other? I'd love to see someone take Zac Young down a peg or 12.

Cindy's kid makes me wish Emma was playing this part, and that is saying something. All of the people in the second half gave off high school play vibes, and I mean like high school play where all the talented kids had mono and they found random people to make up the play.
I usually dig the alien vibe, and I like the front half and going with the aliens gave us technology spin.

Spring Baking Championship - General Discussion
in Spring Baking Championship
I really think FN is scrambling to find it's future stars. Bobby, Giada, Anne...Let's admit they are all getting up there in age. So am I, but to bring the younger people in they need to get some younger stars.
They placed their money on Molly and they lost. Over the years they've tried to "make" people and it's never successful. Remember that Jason guy with the faux mohawk who was on every single baking competition from cupcake wars to hbc. They tried to get him going I believe and it just didn't work.
