Yes I agree , the other lady that went home was a way better cook, sorry to see her go.

She is an excellent baker, but her presentation wasnt good last night ans didnt follow their instructions, even though, I thought she did a fantastic job... I love her work and I will miss her.
I juse hope Grayson tones down on the cream. . makes me feel sick just looking at it, his baking is good though, but burnt toffee... oh heck no...

I will not be watching this show any longer after last night's debacle - talk about lack of credibility: the jacked up reasons they sent Karen home were such a crock - she's just too "mumsy" for them and the demographic Nestle is trying to target I guess! Courtenay uses BOUGHT puff pastry -BADLY-in a pastry challenge and gets to stay? ? ? ? ? And as for Grayson - he is just there as a token male/gay -it really is embarrassing. Burnt caramel - and banoffee freaking pie? ? ? ! ! ! ! A baker of Dean Brettscneider's ability should be ashamed to be associated with this reality fiasco.

the whole show had a cringe factor of #10 - morbidly compulsive - I'm still shuddering LOL

I'm sure the marketing team at Nestle is being called to a few meetings over this - and Colin/Grayson's rings and cream comments ... ! ! ! !

What really gets me about the whole thing is that the contestants seem to have to take their own ingredients from home, not even the basics, flour, butter sugar are supplied. I think its cheap, should have got a different sponsor that could supply a wider range of baking products. . Did anyone notice the cardboard boxes taped to the walls when they are being judged? CHEAP!

mmm not the best cooking show on the telly, but its little NZ trying to keep up with the bigger shows i guess. Shocking that karen went home, a good baker gone when others should have left. Sick of that gay idiot playing up to grayson some of his comments are a bit to be desired on live telly. Agree with you #9 but i will still watch it, lol thinkToni will win the judges seem to like her style, and the risks she takes...

I cant believe they're the Hottest Bakers! ! ! ! ! ! They are all as bad as each other! ! ! ! I only watch it to get a laugh out of it... ... ... ...

But I can't NOT watch it now, I'm hooked in to the very end.
YES, the bought pastry, I thought I'd heard wrong.

Isn't it great entertainment. Yes Karen is a fantastic baker, but... a tart is not a little apple pie on a stick, pre-bought pastry is a fat no-no, stalks on that beautiful looking tart, well, I am a bit reserved about that. I like Emma, I think she may win. Next week cupcakes! ! Can't wait, I love everything about cupcakes and make them frequently. The show hmmm, I think is not well executed, I vision a TM recipe poster would wins handsdown, who's up for Series 2, I myself could give it a damn good go!

I have only watched a couple of episodes and the 2 things I don't like is the 'hottest' part of the show - dressing the contestants up like stepford wives and the thing I cannot stand is that I wish the host would either cut his hair, tie it up or put it under a hat. Just watching him toss and flick his hair aroung and the thought of his long back hairs straying into something make me retch - he is in a kitchen for goodness sake. I don' know why NZ TV cannot get these reality type shows right. Its a bit cheesy and cheap.

Colin loves Grayson - so puke! What a waste of a good idea for TV

They saying in another thread that this weeks loser Karen was a sous chef years ago, Judges picked up on that and maybe got rid of her to make the playing field even... . Wonder if thats true? might explain how she turned out a pie on a stick this week and knew to put the piped biscuits in the freezer to hold their shape before baking last week... Pity shes gone would have liked to seen her cup cakes this week. . http://www.trademe.co.nz- /Community/MessageBoard/Messag- es. aspx? id=192795

I noticed this too, totally budget program and I feel very sorry for the contestants. I had entered thank my lucky stars I didn't get selected I would have felt humiliated at what they've had to do.
Masterchef is much better.

They have been longing for an excuse to get rid of Karen.
#8 has it - the producers want the young goodlooking ones to remain in, and Grayson as the eye candy to attract a gay audience. His cooking is beginner level, though.
The presenter is pointless and offensive, tainting us all with his low-grade high-school level sleaze. He should have been the first to leave.

I think that grayson's mistakes out weighed Karen's. As they said - her food was "goood". And they also said that Grayson had not stepped up to the mark.
