KLovestoShop December 20, 2016 Share December 20, 2016 I agree with the I-Talian pronunciation. I've heard many in the deep South pronounce it that way with no disrespect intended. Many regions in the US pronounce words differently, and it's not because they're being mean---it's just the way they speak. Happy Jason won. I tended to like him the best and I always cheer for the real home cooks rather than those who cook or bake for their profession. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/50095-season-three-episode-talk/page/5/#findComment-2843771
LazyToaster December 20, 2016 Share December 20, 2016 I'm happy about Jason winning too - he is a little over the top with the down-home thing; but, I give him a pass for that - seems like such a genuinely nice guy. It is quite an accomplishment for him and he was so happy. I think Duff was trying to get Lorraine to concede on Jason's cake (dry/not dry thing) because in his mind it was "right" and is an American recipe. I don't blame him and I think Lorraine is just one of those I NEVER BACK DOWN people. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/50095-season-three-episode-talk/page/5/#findComment-2843931

Christina December 21, 2016 Share December 21, 2016 I grew up in South Dakota, have lived in New Mexico and southern Ohio, and have heard many people pronounce Italian with a hard I (eye). Its it-tall-y and eye-talian. It's just dialect; I really don't think he meant any disrespect. I've always lived around military until moving to Ohio, and you have several different nationalities mixing and mingling together, and accents and pronunciations are something we all tease each other about, but unless the person gave you a reason to think they were being a jerk, it's not worth being offended over. It's also not worth getting my panties in a bunch over someone else being offended, and I realize I shouldn't discount someone else's feelings, but it seems unearned by Jason. Food Network has posted an exclusive interview with Jason. The person who added the screen captures certainly had fun with their job. A lot of comments are suggesting that FN give him a show.

Lorraine was on an episode of "Farmhouse Rules" and she and Nancy acted like old chums. They did some of the "I'm right. You're wrong," banter while they were cooking together, but they were laughing. So, one behavior or the other (or both) must be staged for the camera. Lorraine and Duff were fine together on "Worst Bakers in America."

ivygirl December 24, 2016 Share December 24, 2016 Catching up on this forum. Just watched the last episode and Nancy pushed me over the edge. She was so obviously in Jason's corner, and so obviously picking at the other two, that it bugged me to the point of posting, LOL. Granted, my dislike and irritation with her has been around since I first saw her on Farmhouse Rules, so this isn't new; but I would SO love to see her dumped. It won't happen, but a girl can dream. In the spirit of the show, I'll call it my Christmas wish ;) I really liked Shawn (sp?). I think all the "It's Caribbean, that's why it was different!" was producer prompted. I was, however, disappointed by his execution of the "snowman family" theme--that could've been super cute... alas, his was more like "giant misunderstood snowman lives alone on scary mountain and just wants love for Christmas." And I see I'm pretty alone on my... non-fandom for Jason. I just didn't enjoy him. The "eye-talian" bit got to me; I know it's a regionalism but they were playing it up. I'm sure when we see him again he'll be dialing it up to eleventy hundred in true Food Network fashion--especially when he's put next to Miss "Oh Shnickens!" Erin.

I understand why "eye-talian" would bug, but it was totally a wink and a nod kind of thing. Bottom line to me, Jason's desserts always looked and sounded delicious and he brought some much needed JOY to the competition, so I'm really glad he won. I'm also really happy he and Jackson won in tonight's special, mostly because the other two teams were insufferable, imo. Maeve and Jane particularly got on my last nerve. To be fair, it was really only Maeve, with all her "we're so in sync," "we're such perfect partners," "wonder-twin powers activate" crap. And why was Matthew treating Erin like a sous-chef, and why was she letting him? Weird dynamic with those two. Jason and Jackson seemed to have fun and support each other, and their display was gorgeous, so yay I guess. (Hate the constant insertion of kids on FN now tho).

The Bullpen December 29, 2016 Share December 29, 2016 Saw this last night. So many things to say! But actually y'all already hit on most of them. - I've only ever seen Bobby Deen in this, and I like him a lot. He's playful, generally not mean-spirited... he makes for a good host. I perked up at the mention of his mother, too, Rammchick. - I understand why Jane and Matthew were fan favorites, and I also understand why they grate on people's nerves. I do think they're a little over the top, and Matthew's behavior borders on cockiness. It's definitely the case that he knows he's handsome, funny, etc. But he and Jane *are* entertaining. - Jackson, meanwhile, is awesome. I remember loving him two years ago and thought he was so cute, and he's growing up to be such a handsome guy himself. I love how understated he is, and he really was hilarious and self-deprecating in this special. Very mature. Good for him and Jason. - If I had never seen Erin on Food Network Star, I might like her, but her meltdown on that show really wasn't pretty. I dunno.

The contrast between her reaction and her usual OTT perkiness was, um, interesting. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/50095-season-three-episode-talk/page/5/#findComment-2862509

It's been my experience that the people who constantly act perky and pronounce everything as wonderful! and amazing! and sooooo fun! are the first to get equally (if not more) nasty if they think you've insulted or crossed them. (I'm not talking about generally happy or funny or easygoing people--I'm talking about people with personalities like Erin's. For example, if that had happened to Jason he probably would have made some kind of corny joke and laughed at himself; by contrast, if Erin made the "elf boot" stocking and the judges kinda called her on it, she would've gone DEFCON 1 right then and there.)

Mittengirl January 4, 2017 Share January 4, 2017 Funny, I get the same impression about Jason. I just have a feeling he can really scream at people. I can't explain why, he just strikes me as someone who goes off on other people at the drop of a hat - when the cameras aren't around.

dewelar May 1, 2017 Share May 1, 2017 Not sure if this is the place to put this, but for those who missed it, Jason is going to be on the upcoming season of Food Network Star. I may actually watch it now. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/50095-season-three-episode-talk/page/5/#findComment-3233069

I don't recall it, and as the folksy home baker I don't think he needs another gimmick. Cosmos-printed suits don't strike me as the key to winning. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/50095-season-three-episode-talk/page/5/#findComment-3233643
Darian September 28, 2017 Share September 28, 2017 Jason is also a judge on something called Best Baker in America that I heard nothing about but managed to catch the other night. Right off, I recognized Cheryl, Susana, and Adalberto from other Food Network seasonal baking shows, but there are other bakers who've been on various FN competitions. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/50095-season-three-episode-talk/page/5/#findComment-3677348
mlp September 28, 2017 Share September 28, 2017 Quote Jason is also a judge on something called Best Baker in America that I heard nothing about but managed to catch the other night. Apparently, FN spent so much time and effort promoting Whatshername Hart that they practically ignored this new show even though it's their FNS winner's first show. I'm glad I caught it. Jason was himself but not OTT. I thought he did well. I was dismayed to see Marcela because I can't stand her but I have to admit that she was fine. Adam Rapoport has impressive credentials and I wonder how he ended up on FN as a judge. I recognized Adalberto, Dwayne, Andy, Susan (Suzanne?) and Cheryl immediately. I liked them all except Cheryl - loathed her the first go-round and loathed her again last night. I hope someone starts a Forum for this show. I thought about doing it but I'm not creative and coming up with episode titles defeated me. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/50095-season-three-episode-talk/page/5/#findComment-3677434
tobeannounced September 29, 2017 Share September 29, 2017 (edited) I thought I was the only one watching BBIA. I looked for a forum as well and didn't see one. I just happened to see that the show was scheduled and set the DVR to record it. I would have been bummed if I had missed this. Weird that it didn't get the nonstop promotion the Halloween baking shows do. Actually, it's weird that they're airing them at the same time. It would have been great to have BBIA over the summer.

Lura October 3, 2017 Share October 3, 2017 (edited) I only recognized three or four of the contestants. For some reason, I think Cheryl acts like she's better than everyone else, and that was a turn-off. I really like Adalberto and the black fellow whose name I forget. I'm also not sure I like the host, either. I do like both judges, though. I love Jason Smith, and I've enjoyed Marcella on "The Kitchen." I'm glad the FN got rid of Bobby Deen, but I'm not sure they got anyone better. This one seems a little weird to me.
