I thought the entire season was pretty disappointing. Lots of silly challenges, and the bakers didn’t seem to have the same technical range as in some of the earlier seasons. [/quote]

Yeah it was a weird season! Started off strong, but the challenges seemed designed for failure - not to have the bakers create magnificent things.

I really like Syabira - she was my favorite basically from the beginning - so I was happy to see her win, even though her orangutan was terrifying. The finale felt lackluster generally. I wasn't unhappy with who was in it - though Sandro was my least favorite of the semi-finalists. It just felt... underbaked.

Every week the big problem seemed to be that the judges didn't give the bakers enough time to actual fulfill the challenge in a competent way. I don't want to see bakers scrambling to complete their work without enough time to do it well - I want to see them get enough time to do a magnificent job.

Also don't even talk to me about tacos and smores.

Yeah this whole season was weird. I thought Matt toned down a little and was better than previous seasons - especially the week Noel was out sick, actually - though he'll never be Mel, Sue, or Sandy. I love Noel, so no complaints about him.

I don't know. There was something off this season. I'm not sure what. But Syabira was a revelation - she was so creative, good, and delightful. I was happy to see Abdul in the finale, too - he was a real under the radar excellent baker. Sandro had a weird vibe. Huge ego married to big insecurity, maybe. And hey, who hasn't felt that way some time - you can't fault someone for being upfront about trying to get what they want, I guess.
