Cake Wars (2015)
Love the show! Not so much the judges and host
I love this show almost as much as I love Cupcake Wars. (I sure wish Food Network would bring it back!) Waylynn and Richard are not enjoyable judges to watch or listen to. I'm sure Waylynn is a nice person and doesn't intend to come off the way she does but it is painful to watch her judge. She is often so discouraging and critical. I am sitting here watching a rerun of an episode. Waylynn just told a contestant that their cake "is just as unappealing and unappetizing on the inside and it is on the outside." Wow - It isn't fun to watch someone get crushed. Richard Ruskell comes off as a complete jerk. It's hard to enjoy the show when I spend a major portion of it feeling sorry for the contestants. The host is annoying. He tries to hard to be goofy and quirky but it is too forced and the judges don't "play along". It's so awkward. If he would just be cheerful it would be a thousand times better. -- Cake Wars should take its cues from Sugar Rush. Candace Nelson is a perfect judge. So kind and encouraging even when she has to give negative comments. The host is fun but not overly so. He's friendly and has a good rapport with the judges.
FOOD NETWORK - Please listen to the reviews! We've been telling you for years. Get kinder judges and tell Justin to tone it down or get a someone else.
