[Primetimer]

The bakers are working in a night club in a pair of lacy pan...cakes. (Kids, ask a musical theatre queen.)

I have the giggles reminiscing about Tom's "Thor's hammer" in bread week and his "snakes" in batter week.

Spoiler

You could say there's more to come in that vein. >.>

This was such a boring episode for me! PANCAKES? Really?

I thought the bunnies were cute, too!

I'm tearing through this series as, for some inexplicable reason, it's the only one expiring from Netflix this week. Anyway, it's still a pleasant watch but so far, no one is really emerging from the pack in terms of personality or baking talent. Usually I either find the bakes attractive or I'm drawn to the flavor combinations but in four episodes, I can count on one hand the number of bakes that have stood out as particularly pretty and most of the flavors seemed standard, or else they didn't turn out well. I haven't had that same feeling of wanting to look up recipes after watching an episode.

I guess for personality, I kind of like Benjamina and Andrew for how cute and positive they are. Kate was like Frances (in making cute things) but she also sometimes had good flavors. It's nice to have someone relaxed like Selasi. Candice is filling the role of the baker who is too ambitious this season. I guess I like Jane as well. 

I don't know. So far the bakes have been very up and down. No one is all that consistent. I'm just kind of watching right now rather than rooting for anyone.
