The American Baking Competition is a reality competition television series that aired on CBS from May 29 [1] to July 10, 2013. It was an adaptation of The Great British Bake Off (which aired in the United States under the title The Great British Baking Show). The series aimed to find the best amateur baker in the United States. The series was hosted by Jeff Foxworthy and judged by Marcela Valladolid and Paul Hollywood. [1] The competition was won by Brian Emmett. [2] [3]

Contents

Format

The show aimed to find among its contestants the best amateur baker in the US. Ten contestants were chosen for the first season. In each episode, the amateur bakers were given three challenges: a signature, a technical challenge, and a show-stopper. [4] The three challenges took place over two days, and the dishes made by the contestants were assessed by the judges after each challenge. At the end of the three challenges, the judges chose a Star Baker for the week, and a contestant was also eliminated. In the finale three bakers were left and a winner was chosen from the three.

The competition was held in one location in a specially constructed marquee. Interspersed in the show were short videos on the background of the contestants, as well as information on the history of baking and visiting various locations.

The entire season series was shot over a one-month period. [6]

The winner of the competition received a $250,000 grand prize and a publishing contract with Simon & Schuster. [7]

Production

On October 17, 2012, CBS ordered the series under the original title Bake-Off. [8] [9] Since Pillsbury Company held the trademark to the name (using it for its Pillsbury Bake-Off), the show was later renamed The American Baking Competition. [6]

CBS placed casting calls for participants on November 14, 2012. Auditions were held between December 1 and December 15, 2012. [10] The competition took place at the Gibbs Gardens in Ball Ground, Georgia in March 2013. [6]

Broadcast

The first season of The American Baking Competition premiered on May 29, 2013. [1] It aired four episodes in the Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Eastern/9 p.m. Central timeslot. On June 26, 2013, it moved to 9 p.m. Eastern/8 p.m. Central, to make way for Big Brother , and aired its three remaining episodes in that timeslot. Both of these timeslots put the series opposite Fox's MasterChef .

In 2015, ABC premiered a second U.S. version of the format, The Great Holiday Baking Show. The Christmas-themed revival ran for four episodes as part of ABC's December lineup, and featured Johnny Iuzzini joined by British judge Mary Berry. The series returned for a second season in 2016, renamed The Great American Baking Show . [11] [12] [13]

Reception

Critical reception

The American Baking Competition has received mixed reviews from critics.

Liane Bonin Starr of HitFix stated that the series was "surprisingly nice" for a reality TV series. She felt that it was very mellow, so "it was up to judges Marcela Valladolid and Paul Hollywood to provide some acid to the recipe." She did appreciate the series's showcasing of the food, saying "what the show lacks in intensity it makes up for in food." [22]

TV Line 's Michael Slezak described the series as "half-baked" stating that there was "not really enough time to focus on getting to know the players" or to get "a real insight into their baking philosophies." Additionally, the pilot's outcome was described as "as predictable as the use of butter in a pie crust." He expressed hope that "future installments might take a few tips from various Food Network competition shows and put a little more emphasis on the actual dishes." [23]

Ratings

The series premiered to a disappointing 1.0 rating in the Adults 18-49 demographic and 5.11 million total viewers. [24] This made it the worst ever Wednesday premiere for a CBS show. [25] However, it rose in ratings for the first two weeks, a feat ratings experts called "extremely rare." [26] It had seemed like the series would be boosted by moving behind Big Brother on June 26, but it didn't end up that way, as the ratings were generally the same after the move. [27] The last two episodes did not help the series, as it went down slightly, a movement that was not good for the series's renewal prospects. [27] The show was cancelled in July 2013.[ citation needed ]
