The old saying "They are dropping like flies" is appropriate for this week's episode. I think that saying is a misnomer, however, because I've been trying to kill a fly for three weeks now - and it keeps coming back to haunt me.

The bakers are back in the tent and once again the opening segment had my tired eyes rolling a bit. Barbie themed it was and a bit over-the-top. I had to chuckle when the American baker, Jeff, said, "It doesn't matter if you win or lose as long as you win." There is that American sportsmanship. Ironically, the tent was… read more
