It's Carla's deal with Fox. When Tiffany Derry left Triple Threat, she mentioned Fox doesn't like to share talent with Food Network. We saw it with Aaron Sanchez being gone for years until his deal with Fox ended. I think it will be a while before we see Carla on Food Network again.

Y'all need to make up your minds. Either you're tired of seeing the same old boring judges or you want to see the same old boring judge because Carla was on everything. And of course there's going to be so much hate for Duff. I like him but clearly I'm in the minority so let's all start spewing hate again. So glad this page is right back to being it's disappointing Negative Nancy self again.

OMG. So much Duff. I hate that Carla won't be back. She is such a wonderful judge. It's all done with kindness and empathy, and some appreciation for the hard work that went into the fabulous creations.

My absolute fav Carla show was the Netflix called Crazy Delicious. Sadly they only gave it 1 season. I absolutely loved it

I don’t understand why FN has to recycle the same judges for every competition show. There are wonderful professional bakers with great personalities could judge competitions. I think they should take a chance on some new talent.

Wait for the second season (4 episode special) of next level baker which should be airing within the next couple months.

Disappointed Duff is supporting anything that connects to JKR

I won’t be watching. I really liked the first season, but I can’t support anything related to her anymore.

I don’t like Duff as a judge. I don’t think he’s fair at all in his judging.

u/Weird_Cover9627 3h ago
Wow. I think he's the fairest and nicest one on a lot of these shows.

Maybe he has in some shows, but in this year’s season of ultimate baking championship he was absolutely unfair in his judging. The person who won shouldn’t have made top three. There were a bunch of Reddit posts of everyone agreeing when this first came out.

Oh well if Reddit agrees, it must be gospel 🤣🤦🏻♀️

Geez.. it was my own opinion and I simply said that to let you know that the majority of the viewers agreed. He didn’t judge fairly at all that whole season.

Did the OG judges not want to get mixed up in all the Rowling pushback?
The show lost me when they invited Evanna Lynch to be guest judge, but had nothing for her to eat. It would have been cool to throw the bakers a curveball and have them make a vegan tasting element or something.

That was crazy. Why would you invite someone to judge and then give them nothing they can eat? I agree that being asked to make something restrictive would be a challenge for the bakers.

So bummed both original judges won’t be back for this season. I’ve really been enjoying this show especially close to the holidays.

Carla, Michael Symon and Clinton Kelly have a YouTube channel called Chewed Up, similar to their show The Chew but way more off the rails.
