    PLEASE REPLACE GIGI. The amount of screaming is absurd and does not have a nice sounding voice. The role she places is minor and doesn't quite fit. How can you not hear the annoyance of her voice.

    I really like the concept of the show, kind of similar to Quebec's Les Chefs. Although the contestants do make debutant mistakes, I think it's understandable due to the amount of stress. However, what bugs me the most is the host and the assistant. The two women are so obnoxious and condescending. I'm all about female power and boss ladies, but they are simply annoying and it makes it hard to watch the show.

    I started watching hesitant because being from Mexico I didn' have the fortune of ever heard of this chef before. The contestants started interacting and I got involved very quickly helped by their lovable personalities, their desserts, and of course the magnificent desserts prepared by Zumbo to be duplicated by the contestants before elimination. I am finishing the first season and came here to check if there was a second season and if so, check when would it be released. Sadly, I think this was it for this show. It was sad to find that out.

    All of the bakers were so genuine and nice and the people running the show just seemed so rude. In the FIRST episode the bakers are told to make a dish as a reflection of themselves and Wendy saw herself as simple and classic, so that's what she made. Zumbo and Khoo tore her apart because it was too simple. But holy heck, wasn't the point to be a reflection of yourself? Who are they to criticize? They don't know her, and I'm sure they don't care to. Gigi only comes around to knock people off their horses. She is never helpful, she makes everyone more anxious which is so rude. She should be there to maybe be support or guidance for these AMATEUR BAKERS WHO ARE TRYING THEIR BEST! She's just there to add a pretty face who I can't even look at as too attractive because all she does is yell. I try not to judge books by covers but the only way she is portrayed upsets me and I wish she seemed kinder. Also, in every episode you know who comes out on top and on the bottom. That's always who they focus on. It's never a surprise, which just kind of stinks because it would be exciting to have no clue. One baked, Amie, the show never gave her a good interview or discussion until literally the FOURTH episode. I was watching and I saw her and I was like, heck, who is this girl now? I mean, she was there, they just never focused on her until she did something spectacular. And they don't focusp on anyone expect for just then or when they suck...or when they are only trying to express themselves but their form of expression is wrONG. The bakers are all so talented. More talented than most who watch it, and that's what's kept me going, to see who really deserved the title. I really liked Kate but Ali really deserved that win. She was the top baker the most and Kate was in the bottom two the most. So Ali always did better and lost by just one point. I feel like whoever was in charge of this show really targeted who they wanted to win and it was all judged on two people's (Zumbo and Khoo's) tastebuds, which is not the most fair way to do it because like, I love red velvet but they didn't seem to, which at one point was part of why somebody was thrown into a Zumbo test. Also, it definitely took Zumbo longer than the amount of time contestants were given to bake...like...really...how in the heck? I will stop now, my little liberal heart can not take it. Everyone should have a chance to not be knocked down. It feels unfair and I'm all for equality.
