Too much drama
I kind of miss them just focusing on the cakes. I'm tired of all of the family drama. Last season it was "will Grace and Joey stay" of COURSE they're going to stay! This is the family cash cow! Mary is going to come back and they'll play it all contrite. She probably went on paid vacation.
I remember when we saw 3 cakes a show and MAYBE a practical joke. Now it's always some kind of drama llama.
