Spunkygal July 2, 2019 Share July 2, 2019 (edited) Christmas in July!! Monday is a one night special of HBC hosted by Jesse Palmer. I’m guessing that Nancy, Duff and Lorraine are the judges. “Jesse leads four talented bakers through hotly contested challenges focused on melted showman desserts and cool and creamy Christmas ice cream cakes.” This is followed by a Christmas themed battle on Cupcake Championship. I enjoyed episode 1 of this show this week. Edited July 2, 2019 by Spunkygal 3 Link to comment
mojoween July 8, 2019 Share July 8, 2019 (edited) I didn’t even know about the special until I randomly saw it scheduled on the DVR. I’m excited to watch...on some random date this week because the Home Run Derby is on tonight. But still. Excited! Watching last year’s reminded me how annoying it is to hear “I didn’t get maple” “oh I got lots of maple” “but maple was the CHALLENGE.” Isn’t it entirely possible that the three of them have different palates? I mean, it’s actually pretty damn likely so one person probably does taste olive oil and the other does not. Edited July 8, 2019 by mojoween Link to comment
Maya July 9, 2019 Share July 9, 2019 Where did they find these people?? All the melting snowmen looked like they were made by children. 1 Link to comment
Rammchick July 9, 2019 Share July 9, 2019 It seems very inequitable that this competition's prize is $10K and the regular, whole season of the show, with so many challenges, is $25K. 2 Link to comment
crazycatlady58 July 9, 2019 Share July 9, 2019 This sounds mean but I am glad the thin women did not win. She talked to much and seemed sure at the end she was the best. I have problems with people who brag on themselves to much. 2 Link to comment
CharlizeCat July 13, 2019 Share July 13, 2019 I just now watched this special episode and am glad that the home baker won. I felt sorry for the guy whose ice cream melted. He was a great sport about it. My big question was what has Lorraine done to her face? She's either had some type of weird eye lift or too much Botox. Whatever it is, she didn't need it to begin with. Link to comment
Spunkygal October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 (edited) Season 6 starts Monday night! This is what I love about this time of year...Halloween to Thanksgiving to Christmas! BRING IT ON! I am seriously putting up my Christmas trees this weekend. However, I wish John Henson also hosted Holiday Baking Championship. He’s so funny and clever. Jesse Palmer is ok but ...meh. Hope to see my Halloween friends here! Edited October 30, 2019 by Spunkygal 4 Link to comment

kj4ever November 4, 2019 Share November 4, 2019 I am so hoping this season is better than last year's! It really went downhill, so I hope they step it up because the Holiday Baking Championship was always my favorite! 4 Link to comment

As has been noted ad nauseum, it would be so much better if they’d ditch the stupid twists. But this is FN so it can’t all be about baking...gotta trick it up somehow. 5 Link to comment
Girl in a Cardigan November 4, 2019 Share November 4, 2019 I'd also be interested in seeing them do more than cakes and pies. Baking means a lot of things, so let's see more savory and interesting twists. Basically, there are rarely cakes on GBBO and we're better for it. 7 Link to comment

I grew up enjoying those Pepperidge Farm apple turnovers found in the freezer section. I’d like to see them make turnovers but have to make their own phyllo dough and not use ready made dough. Or even make big puffy popovers with sweet or savory butter on the side. Edited November 5, 2019 by Spunkygal 3 Link to comment

I've already started watching the FN Thanksgiving thing-- It's on Food Network, as well. I'm watching the reruns from last season in the run up to the HBC season 6 premiere, and I'm already over Nancy's alcoholism and Lorraine's fussiness. Tonight's premiere of HBC season 6 will be followed by a new one hour episode in which 3 previous runners up compete to try and win the second time around, followed by a new episode of the Christmas Cookie Challenge. 1 Link to comment
Spunkygal November 5, 2019 Share November 5, 2019 Tonight’s episode 1 might be interesting. ”The 10 bakers introduce themselves with edible place cards. And then they bake and decorate a Danish kransekake.” At least they are doing something different! 1 Link to comment

littlebennysmom November 5, 2019 Share November 5, 2019 Poor Devon. But his plan for the $25,000 (adding another child to his family) really wouldn't have taken him far. That would pay for, what, the kids diapers? If it required more than that, tough luck, kiddo! Even more unrealistic was Dwight's claim to save the $25,000 to send his son to college so he can "do whatever he wants in his life". That will pay for exactly one textbook by the time that kid's of age. 4 6 Link to comment

I so agree. I hate that Devon’s cake was dry because I kinda wanted Blue Glasses to go. I’m afraid Pistaaaaachio will be around for a while. Watching the Sweet Revenge episode and I hate how Nancy feeds Jesse a bite with her fork. Let him get his own fork. Yuck. 6 Link to comment

You could tell that the other guy (I’m blanking on his name—Steve?) thought he was going to win. He was stunned for a minute. He was also on one of the gingerbread competitions last year. I like Lerome and was so happy for him. I agree with Duff that the silver leaf on the lady’s cake looked like foil. Gold leaf is so much prettier. 10 Link to comment

I meant I can grit my teeth for Ree when she’s a judge on the Christmas cookie show. No way, and I mean NO WAY, am I watching her PW show. NO WAY. I love Christmas cookies and that’s the only reason I watch that show! We are kindred spirits in our dislike of the PW show. I don’t know why I can’t grit my teeth for Giada when she’s only hosting.

Dirtybubble November 5, 2019 Share November 5, 2019 (edited) Oh LAWD that chick from Rochester, NY is really going to grate me! Her accent is so annoying and it doesn't help that she seems to LOVE to talk. And on a personal note she is way too perky for my liking so yeah I already don't like her. But she does seem to be a good baker and with my luck she'll make it to the final 3 =( I'm from S.C. so I'll be rooting for the southern gentleman from Myrtle Beach! YAY! I'm totally surprised the young lady with the deflated cake wasn't eliminated but I figure she's not going to be here long. In fact there are quite a few people that already don't impress me. Forgot to add: LOVE JESSE PALMER! I think he is a great host and I've been a fan of his since The Bachelor days! Edited November 5, 2019 by Dirtybubble 8 Link to comment
