Bake Squad (2021– )
8/10
Worth the BINGE!
15 August 2021
A baking competition, that's not really a competition.

The final product of every episode is worth the wait. It's amazing how talented these people are. I cannot imagine how their guests pick the best one since all the options are visually appealing and (I'm assuming) delicious as well.

I also enjoy the fact that there's this "team" element going on where they help each other whenever they can. Although there's a little tension in one episode where they split in to two teams, it's not like other shows where there's excessive crying, insults and drama. They "compete" for bragging rights and a picture on a wall. Even without any monetary or material prize, the four of them deliver unlike other cooking shows where you end up shaking your head after they present their final work.

It's not a perfect show though. Some conversations with their clients (even the clients themselves) are awkward, personal comments can feel forced/scripted, and obvious preparations were made. Who keeps an exact mold of their daughter's upper body just stashed in their house?

It's STILL a fun show though which I hope will get renewed.

Sidenote: Christophe the Frenchman, amazing!
