What is going on with some of the Audience Choice Showstoppers?
Please tell me Shannon didn't just make a giant gingerbread butterfly with icing, as a Showstopper. The difference in the amount of thought and work, compared to Mo's "Angel Wings" Showstopper, was staggering. I really like Shannon and couldn't believe she didn't do, at the very least, some type of filling or ornate icing design. It was literally 4 blocks of color, with some chocolate butterflies and dots of jam. I was so sad when I saw that she was basically making a second butterfly, because she had so much extra time on her hands(although it was good she did so). And, Moyin's "Lambeth Top Hat"? It was literally just a cake, with minimal decorations(top/bottom row of icing, a ruffle, and a few shells), and a 2 inch "brim". It was a decent cake, but compared to some of the other's work, it seemed thrown together. I was really looking forward to seeing what he was going to come up with, and feel a bit deflated. Am I the only one, that just can't seem to get into this Season? I love Nigella, it's just that the Bakers seem different than they have in the past. Don't get me wrong, they are talented and very fun to watch. I just can't put my finger on why this Season isn't giving me the same thrill, as Seasons past.
