Best Baker in America

I like the concept of the show, with the elevated dessert offerings (rather than, say, bread pudding, which is often made on "chopped" as a dessert). the contestants are interesting and really seem focused on creating beautiful and different desserts. otherwise, it really is just another elimination-type show.

However, Jason, the judge who won Food Network Star, is too over-the-top for me, with his loud wardrobe, braying southern accent and constant farmyard-related sayings (usually regarding pigs or chickens) make me want to strangle him. I wonder if this is why he never got a show, as the other winners have in the past. a little bit of him goes a looooong way.
