Love to watch the Bakers work so hard and diligently and put their heart and soul into this show But I mute the judges because the blonde judge constantly says I wish this I wish that she’s so critical and ridiculous with her criticism and the bald guy he’s more subtle and not so harsh I just want to see them bake and win Can’t stand when the judges go over with these Poopoo faces and cut their work up tell him how worried they are so ridiculous
So true Mary……kisses 😛
