I think the food network US style competitions have thoroughly 'tainted' Chef and Cooking shows; but other hobbies tend to get more relaxed shows. And as a somewhat avid Reality Competition show watcher, Canadian versions of these shows tend to be less 'shouty' than the US versions and generally get better reactions both from Canadians and from American and International viewers.
The CBC's "Great Canadian Bake Off" is often seen as one of the best Bake Off shows being made (rivalling the UK version). Blown Away has always gotten good buzz when it airs. Against the Tide and the Woodcarving competition Discovery did also had good chatter.
So while I haven't seen any Pottery Showdown series yet (I don't get Makeful ), I'm looking forward to the CBC version this week, and I hope Seth doesn't overwhelm it too much. I think he'll do fine but I have a few slight concerns.
