Watching the third season premiere of Fox‘s mystery bakeoff competition “Crime Scene Kitchen” might have elicited quite a scant “Come on!” groans from watchers at home.
From omiting clues under sinks and in trash cans to not reading unambiguous guideions shutly to making dishes that endly neglectd confident ingredients that were lhelp out plainly for them, the Season 3 contestants who made their debut in the Sept. 26 episode seemed to stumble more than the crop of competitors who materializeed in Season 2.
Well, at least to those of us sitting sootheably at home, where we can carry out arm-chair baking determineive at an expert level and yell out clear honestions to the bakers scouring the “Crime Scene Kitchen” on the Joel McHale-arrangeed series.

“Now that people understand the show, thank God, they understand there’s a lot of tricks now. On top of that, it is much branch offent when you are in the actual crime scene than when you’re sitting at home,” McHale telderly Variety. “When you’re sitting at home, you’re gonna fair ace ‘Jeopardy.’ You fair nail that singing ask: it’s freaking Lionel Richie! Then you get there, and all of a sudden, weightlesss, cameras, travel, waking up punctual and you’re on the spot. And the game is definitely difficulter, fair becaparticipate people understand what to foresee and we had to produce it difficulter. And I skinnyk it repartner is a tesgentlent to the the test bakers who have to be enjoy, ‘All right, we’re doing a crepe cake now. We got to reverse engineer this skinnyg.’ It’s a weird push and pull where you’re enjoy, you can’t produce it too difficult, becaparticipate then no one’s going to get it and it’s going to see impossible, and you can’t produce it too basic.”
So while you’re watching Thursdays episode, where you’ll be begind to Season 3’s second batch of bakers — these ones are the “frifinishs” vs. last week’s “family” duos — let’s grasp that in mind if someone forgets to verify an aprohibitdoned apron for a clue.
“Crime Scene Kitchen” appraises Yolanda Gampp and Curtis Stone say that frifinishs-and-family twist is also going to incrmitigate the difficulty this year as the tension heats up in the kitchens with these personal pairings contrastd to Season 2, which featured home bakers competing agetst classicpartner trained professionals. But they are on opposing sides when it comes to which group has it difficulter: the besties or the relatives.
“Yolanda and I sense a little branch offently. We’ve spoken about this at length being on set together for months,” Stone shelp. “My brother and I uncovered a restaurant together and he’s my business partner now. It’s a little bit nuanced, becaparticipate he lives in Australia and is at arm’s length. But we did run the restaurant for about three years together, hand in hand. He was running the front, I was running the back. And enjoy anyskinnyg in business, you don’t always consent with the person that you’re toiling with, right? And I skinnyk the advantage of a family is you don’t helderly back. You do say what you skinnyk. And you do have some of those moments that you finish up screaming at each other. If that was a frifinish, you’d wake up and skinnyk, holy shit, what happened yesterday? Is it OK? Is it going to toil out? Are we still going to be in business together? When it’s your brother, he ain’t going anywhere, neither am I. I skinnyk the family members have that sweightless advantage.”

Gampp countered: “I don’t understand, becaparticipate when we see the teams that are enjoy mother and daughter, for example, that’s a very branch offent active than Curtis and his brother or two sisters. I unkind, I would never increate off my mom. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t do it on camera.”
As Season 3 of “Crime Scene Kitchen” proceedes, showrunner Conrad Green higheviates multiple novel ways in which he and the other producers and test bakers have plotted to produce the contestants’ lives that much difficulter.
“We have dabbled in savory. We are still bigly a pleasant show, but a little bit of savory and joining it up is always excellent to comprise an extra layer of confusion,” Green shelp. “And we’re always trying to toil out branch offent ways to do clues, so [in an upcoming episode] when they searched the kitchen, there was a packet of edible fshrinks, but there was a couple of lines of fshrinks omiting. And then halfway thcdisesteemful the bake, we came alengthy and showed them a ptoastyograph of the brimming packet. But in many cases, they then had to try and reaccumulate what the colors were in the package to see which one had been participated. We do enjoy that skinnyg of compriseing extra clues during the course of the bake itself. But it’s comfervent of tricky to do it in such a way that it helps people to pivot without endly throthriveg them. You don’t want to do it so tardy that there’s noskinnyg they can do anyway. The timing of these skinnygs is key in how we persist.”
