November 14 - 20, 2021 WHATS UP! T7 BY MICHELLE ROSE TV Media C ookie or architec- ture? Who says gin- gerbread can't be both! This week, the sweetly spiced star of your holiday bak- ing/centerpiece-building plans will get its moment to shine, courtesy of a new Food Net- work competition series that is a bit of a hybrid itself. Premiering Monday, Nov. 15, on Food Network and discov- ery+, "Holiday Baking Champi- onship: Gingerbread Show- down" is a spinoff that's equal parts "Holiday Baking Champi- onship" and "Holiday Ginger- bread Showdown," which last aired in 2019. The five-episode "Holiday Baking Championship: Ginger- bread Showdown" will feature three teams of festive-minded gingerbread artists competing against each other to produce the most breathtaking ginger- bread showpieces. The format is a little more "Gingerbread Showdown" than "Baking Championship," mean- ing each one-hour episode is a stand-alone competition — there's no weekly elimination, which makes it an ideal pick if you're looking for something light to watch as we head into the busy holiday season. This new seasonal competi- tion is hosted by former NFL quarterback and Bachelor Jesse Palmer. The Canadian TV personality and sports commentator has had a busy year: he's also hosting this year's installment of the less gin- gerbread-centric parent series "Holiday Baking Champion- ship," and he's returning to "The Bachelor" franchise, too, as host of Season 26, premiering in Janu- ary. As for the judges, chefs Nacho Aguirre and Kardea Brown join Breegan Jane from HGTV's "Ex- treme Makeover: Home Edition" to evaluate each team's perfor- mance and decide on a winner in each episode, beginning with the premiere on Nov. 15. Incidentally, Brown recently signed a deal that extends her partnership with Food Network for two more years, and produc- tion on Season 6 of "Delicious Miss Brown" began earlier this fall (look for it to premiere in 2022). That's not all: Brown is also hosting a different food compe- tition series that premieres this Saturday, Nov. 20, on discovery+ and Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). "Great Soul Food Cook- Off" is a six-episode, elimina- tion-style competition celebrat- ing Black chefs and Black culi- nary traditions in America. It's a long-overdue, first-of-its- kind celebration of soul food, and with Brown at the helm as the show's host, it should be a good watch. In the meantime, check out the "Holiday Baking Championship: Gingerbread Showdown" premiere on Mon- day, Nov. 15.
