Re: last season’s debacle, my mama always said “never trust a skinny chef”

She would approve of Caroline Mathis’s curves.

I’m not sure I buy her doe-eyed act, but viewers will eat it up.

Have you watched LeBlanc’s intake video?

The two of them together are going to be pure gold. I trust you to make the most of this.

Bake It! production MEMO

From: Amelia Jane, production assistant

To: Rochelle Roberts, show runner

Please find attached the unedited footage of Damien Leblanc’s intake video (season 4, episode 6). As per your request, I’ve attached a transcript. You’ll find my observations in italics.

My initial thoughts are:

· I highly recommend you watch and/or review the transcript of Caroline Mathis immediately after watching this one.

· I have additional notes following the transcript.

Host: Damien, or should I call you The Bad Boy of Baking?

Damien: Damien is fine, thanks.

Host: Welcome to Bake-it! and our Halloween competition.

Damien: Thank you. It’s an honor to be here.

Host: You’re not exactly like most of our celebrity contestants, but viewers made it very clear that they wanted you on the show.

Damien: I’m very fortunate with the dedication from my fans. They have made a huge impact on my family’s life.

Damien: Becoming The Bad Boy of Baking was not exactly my life’s mission. But I do come from a long line of good cooks and bakers, and somehow this became my part in that.

Host: Well, you’re very good at it.

Host: Are you excited about the competition?

Damien: Yes, excited and honored. And very much looking forward to working with Caroline Mathis.

Host: Ah, yes, Miss Mathis, could you tell us a little bit about why you chose her?
