Bearcata - neither the semi final nor the final produced the bakes you described. They were done in earlier episodes.
However, the people eliminated, saved and winning are the same.
Congrats to Brother Andrew! His family (Father, Mother, Sister) were there to celebrate with him and he can't wait to show the brothers at home.

I would have been happy with either a Dana or Brother Andrew win, and due to Dana's mistakes in the finale I wasn't surprised that Bro Andrew pulled out the win. I didn't think Marissa was going to win just because I realized I didn't really know who she was until these episodes. They all seemed like nice people. At the beginning of the show I thought Tanya or Alex would win but as the challenges went along I started rooting for Bro Andrew and Dana. Overall this was a good cast. I was rooting for Marissa and Tanya and was sadden when Tanya was eliminated but I do think any mix of that cast would have been good. |

This was a great finale and I quite enjoyed the final Showstopper. Alex had been a frontrunner, but the others had been stepping it up and he had a subpar day, and at that point, that's enough to be eliminated. I thought Dana was gonna win, Marissa was too nervous and didn't manage her time wisely, but at the end, due to a couple of mistakes by Dana (forgetting her craquelin for her choux puffs and under-baking her meringue) gave Brother Andrew a hard-earned win. Overall it was an enjoyable season with a likable cast, I enjoyed it a lot.

I wish Alex had made the finals, but I did get a little choked up when Brother Andrew won.

I loved how calm Dana stayed, and kept saying she just wanted to have fun baking. I luv'ed it that she won two technical challenges in a row, which is amazing.

I love how the bakers all pull for each other and support each other on these shows...
Great win for Brother Andrew. He was so excited!

I remember watching season 1 or 2 and didn't like those edition as the Americans seemed limited in what they were able to bake and all the confessions were I am going to win, win, win. I really liked it when they chose to make the American edition more like the British one, as it made the cast way more likable. |

I'm so happy Brother Andrew won, but I enjoyed all of the contestants, even those who didn't make it to the final. Mariss did stress me because she cried a lot. I really liked the hosts too. I wouldn't mind having this show outside of the Holidays.

The first two or more seasons I remember were filmed in Tennessee and had a down home type atmosphere. That is where Paul got in trouble with Marciela.
I really like that the last two seasons were filmed in the UK tent that we know from the British shows. I do wonder, though, how they time it? Is it filmed on weekends like the British show, or contracted down to two days during the week and over the weekend? When and where do they have time and a place to practice the signature bakes and the showstopper? Surly they don't fly back and forth to the states between episode filming.

The filming is done in August and for a 3 week period. The schedule is to film for 2 days have a day off. This was the schedule for the 2018 show but it only had 6 episodes, I am assuming it was closer to a 4 week shoot for the 2019 season as there were 8 episodes this season. |
