Anyone else watching yet? Watching the cakes episode. Anyone understand the “inlay” bit?
I’m also wondering about how this competition might weed out some folks without the time, resources and places to practice.
Impressive to see the lady with Tourettes managing it.
Is the extra, unneeded ingredients in the technical new? I don’t recall them discussing that before. Did anyone avoid the trick?
I’m also noticing impressions of height from where the work surface aligns with body parts. One guy at the waist, one at the thigh! It must be difficult to have to bend all day.

We started watching it last night. These bakers seem to be actual amateurs as opposed to the increasingly skilled groups of the past few seasons. As an extremely unskilled baker, I actually enjoy these people more and can relate to them!
Which woman has Tourettes? I must have missed something.

That’s what’s so impressive! I have seen and studied a lot of it in my career, and may not have picked it up otherwise. I almost didn’t mention it. I’m going to see if it’s mentioned online before I “out” anyone.
“Not that there’s anything wrong with that!” (marginally acceptable Seinfeld reference).

I found it online, but my lips are sealed.

I thought maybe they just had a stutter.
But I didn’t like the addition of the “misleading” ingredients in the technical. A horrible decision on the producers part IMHO. It goes against everything I so thoroughly enjoy about the show. It’s a cheap gimmick where it isn’t needed.

Totally agree!
I forgot this bit 
I’ll be saying “bit” a lot!
Pru was awesome but we thought it went on a bit long.
About the technical
"I understand that the technical challenge is designed to test the technical proficiency of the bakers, and trying to figure out a recipe is part of that. But on the first day? When no one has been in the tent before? This is setting them up to fail. We don’t mind if there is a mess or two (that’s usually pretty exciting), but when all 12 bakers serve up hot-pink diarrhea on a gingham table, then there is something wrong with the challenge, not with the bakers."

My wife is the baker of the couple. She’d never heard on the inlay thing before. Clever stuff though.
