Jaded November 7, 2017 Share November 7, 2017 He was ok as the Spring Baking Championship host. Guess he'll do fine here too. At least he's nice to look at. Link to comment
susannot November 7, 2017 Share November 7, 2017 Quote Honestly, Jesse Palmer? Really? Hated him when he was the flailing QB of the Bengals, and when he was The Bachelor. Can't he go away for good? WTF does he have to do with baking? 6 Link to comment
mlp November 7, 2017 Share November 7, 2017 I'd never seen Jesse Palmer before he turned up on FN so I don't have any reason to dislike him but...........................I much preferred Bobby Deen. 6 Link to comment
Jillybean November 7, 2017 Share November 7, 2017 (edited) I like Jesse just fine and enjoyed him during his time on on Good Morning America. He's been in broadcasting for several years now. I can't stand having comedians as hosts of the baking shows trying to make lame jokes, and Jesse is pretty good at just being straightforward and doing what he's supposed to do without trying to upstage the bakers.

But he appears boring. I go back a long way back with Jesse because he was a Florida Gators quarterback but that does not make him a good cooking show host. I watched the marathon of last year's Holiday show and I loved the humor Bobby added without being too over the top.....Loved him wearing the ugly sweater and the Christmas socks.....He added just enough extra to make him fun! 4 Link to comment

I hear what you're saying, and Jesse may lack flair, but at least he is better than John Henson who hosted the Halloween Baking Championship this year, or Jeff Dunham who did it last year and was especially cringeworthy. 1 Link to comment
kj4ever November 8, 2017 Share November 8, 2017 He's pretty to look at and doesn't tell stupid corny jokes. I'll take him. 3 Link to comment

Lura November 9, 2017 Share November 9, 2017 (edited) I didn't especially enjoy Bobby Flay -- I mean, Deen! LOL I thought that he was OK, but just OK. Jesse Palmer brings good looks and a pleasant personality to the show, and if he isn't enjoying his role, he could fool me. He seems to have a good rapport with the contestants. So far, I like him. What's with Nancy Fuller's new look? I don't care for her new, straight hairstyle at all. Last season she looked nice, and I loved her hair. Lorraine seemed bored. I really liked the lady from Wisconsin who seemed normal and pleasant without any "airs" about her. Thank heaven for Duff, who always adds good humor to the mix.

Simon47 November 11, 2017 Share November 11, 2017 Jesse Palmer is the pretty boy, for all to see. I think he was enjoying himself with all the interactions with the contestants on Spring Baking Championship, but please bring back Bobby Deen. He was better. 3 Link to comment
bioprof November 14, 2017 Share November 14, 2017 Would be nice if he wore suit jackets that actually...you know....fit. what's with the two sizes ,too small clothes??????? 2 Link to comment
mlp November 14, 2017 Share November 14, 2017 I love me a man in a suit so I liked Jesse's look when he walked out but, yeah, that jacket didn't fit right. Worse, much worse, he was wearing white socks! With a dark suit! Gah!!! 1 Link to comment
Lura November 15, 2017 Share November 15, 2017 Jesse is growing more and more appealing to me. Uh-oh, and I'm married. What I didn't know about him is that he was our San Francisco 49ers quarterback for a few seasons, but I missed him every game he played! That'll teach me to watch football! I guess I should say that I like his personality as much as his looks. He's a good host and seems very much at ease. My husband told me that Jesse has been in broadcasting for a number of years now, so he's had experience. I agree about the clothes, but Eddie Jackson on the other cookie show looked way too casual for my liking when I watched that show today. He was wearing stuff that he could have cleaned the attic wearing. The FN needs to spruce up their men! 1 Link to comment
kj4ever December 6, 2017 Share December 6, 2017 I actually think that Jesse is doing a decent job, and not just eye candy. Who'da thunk it? It was funny because my niece had missed an episode and came over to watch it. I was in the other room cooking, and could just hear it. You could hear the genuine interest and care in his voice when you weren't watching. Shocked the hell out of me...lol Link to comment
