March 29 - April 4, 2020 WHATS UP! T7 BY MICHELLE ROSE TV Media W e're already a few weeks into Round 2 of Food Network's big King of Cake title bout, aka "Buddy vs. Duff." In the first two episodes, we watched defending champ Duff Goldman and challenger Buddy Valastro go head-to- head in Big Apple- and dino- saur-themed showdowns. The East Coast leg of the competi- tion continues this Sunday, March 29, when these two art- ists draw inspiration from jousts and pageantry to create a centerpiece for Medieval Times' 30th anniversary. There will be one more stop next week before the competi- tion moves to the West Coast in the run-up to the May 3 fi- nale. That last competition should be a good one if you love cake and Star Wars: Bud- dy and Duff will be tasked with creating the perfect edi- ble showpiece for an event hosted by Billy Dee Williams at Disneyland's Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge attraction. "Buddy vs. Duff" is the kind of show that could only exist af- ter the Discovery-Scripps merger in 2018. The $12-billion takeover brought Food Net- work, HGTV and Travel Chan- nel under TLC's parent compa- ny, meaning TLC's "Cake Boss" (Valastro) and Food Network's "Ace of Cakes" (Goldman) were now part of the same TV family. And when you have two big stars with similar shows, this naturally suggests a rivalry, even if the two had already moved on to other projects. (If you really want to keep score, Duff was the first to ink a TV deal back in 2006, but Buddy has had more spinoff success.) Enter "Buddy vs. Duff," Food Network's highest-rated show in 2019. News of its success might come as a surprise if you've read online reviews and comments, which don't pull any punches when it comes to cri- tiquing the scoring, the show's format and even Buddy himself after he walked off in the sec- ond challenge. But viewers kept tuning in week after week. And that probably says a lot about the celebrity status and skills of these two cake artists, who seem to differ in every way. The action and the competi- tive banter continue this week on "Buddy vs. Duff." But if you're a fan of Buddy, don't change the channel after this week's winner is announced. The Cake Boss himself will appear on the March 29 epi- sode of "Beat Bobby Flay," which airs right after "Buddy vs. Duff," and he'll be looking for a win in that one, too.
