Are the contestants bakers or detectives?
They’re bakers, but they need to put their detective hats on for the show. “There are not many clues, and you’re going to be blown away by how close people get,” says McHale. And then, you’ll be blown away by some of the absolute wrong turns that people take. You’ll also see that some of these bakers are very well trained; they have formal training, and some of them are self‑taught. And you will be so surprised at how far the self‑taughts get and how not that far some of the trained ones get. Bringing in the Crime Scene really levels the playing field in such an interesting way.”
