‘Bachelorette’ Rachel says yes, but fans say she ‘settled’

three to win immunity.

But she faltered badly later. A sweet and spicy pork butt dish was deemed “dreadful” by Gordon Ramsay, and she was up for elimination with three others. There was little chance of her going home, however, and soon she was headed for the balcony— and safety.

Ms. Jones, a dancer in New York City, hasn’t been given the screen time of some others on the show. But she said she’s all right with that: “The show only has one [broadcast] hour every week to summarize the viewpoints of 13 chefs. They can only really focus on me for a few beats,a few moments.”

“I’m definitely happy with how I’ve been portrayed so far. I think it’s a factual shade of events.”

• BBC’s “The Great British BakeOff” has been lost to Channel 4 in the United Kingdom, and the new version is coming soon. A surprisingly unappetizing stop-motion animation trailer is now running, featuring breads and pastries spitting out custardand singing like children. Um,OK. In other news, joining original judge Paul Hollywood is Prue Leith (who told a British newspaper that she got Mary Berry’s blessing before applying for the job).

The others from the original cast refused to renew their contracts, citing loyalty to the BBC.

In the U.S., PBS aired the finale of a recent season of the original show on Aug. 4, with Candice Brown, she of the adorable Cockney accent, taking the cake plate. Good news for fans of the original: PBS has committed to debuting at least one more ofthe “older” seasons.

This reality singing contest “begins when most competitions end: with the four finalists,” according to press materials.

Let’s back that up a bit. Seems the format will involve singers chosen from their audition tapes. They become “The Four.”

Here’s where it gets interesting and/or complicated. New singers will then be introduced into the mix each week, and the audience at home will have some say whether that newbie deserves a spot in “The Four.”

It’s possible some of the new singers be members of the home audience; fans will get to judge from streaming auditions.
