Hosts and judges Hosts / Judges Season Current Dan Levy Host Julia Chan Host Bruno Feldeisen Judge Rochelle Adonis Judge Reception John Doyle, reviewing the first episode for The Globe and Mail, called the show boring and said that it lacked `` the major ingredients of eccentric flair and idiosyncratic contestants ( of the original ). '' Doyle 's criticism of host Dan Levy 's `` feyness '' in the review was called homophobic by Levy and others. Eater Montreal writer Tim Forster said the show 's first episode is `` like somebody left the sugar out of the recipe : it looks right, but the flavour is kind of bland '' due to a lack of focus on the contestants ' stories, he primarily blamed poor editing and a rushed pace due to a shorter running time than the British series. Joanna Schneller called the judging by Bruno Feldeisen and Rochelle Adonis `` consistently dull '' in a review of the second episode for the Toronto Star. She suggested that, like the judges in the original series, they should be instructing on the significance of dishes as well as judging. Greg David of TV, eh ? called the show `` unapologetically entertaining '' and `` a calming oasis amid the noisy negativity we 're besieged with, '' specifically praising the chemistry of hosts Levy and Chan. Katherine DeClerq, reviewing the final episode in Women 's Post, said she was `` pleasantly surprised '' by the series and `` while the dry humour could be a bit dryer and the puns slightly less cheesy, I have to say I am in love with the Great Canadian Baking Show.
