When Food Network announced that Molly Yeh would be replacing Nancy Fuller on Holiday Baking Championship, longtime fans had plenty to say about the unexpected change. But now that Season 13 has premiered, some viewers are admitting they may have judged Yeh too quickly.
Fuller, who had been part of the competition since its 2014 debut, was noticeably absent when the show returned Nov. 2. Instead, Yeh joined returning judges Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown, with Jesse Palmer back as host.
The change initially sparked disappointment among fans, many of whom questioned whether Yeh was the right person to fill Fuller’s shoes.
But in a new Reddit discussion, some viewers are sharing surprisingly positive reactions to Yeh’s first episode as a judge.
‘Holiday Baking Championship’ Fans Are Surprised by Molly Yeh
Several commenters admitted they weren’t particularly enthusiastic about Yeh joining the show, especially after her stint hosting Spring Baking Championship in 2022.
“Much better than last year and I couldn’t stand Molly on SBC but I think she’s SOOO much better on this show,” one viewer wrote. The commenter added that Yeh seemed to be offering more critical feedback this season and encouraged others to give her a chance.
Another fan admitted they had considered skipping the new season because of Yeh but were glad they watched after all.
“I was pleasantly surprised by Molly after the season she hosted,” another Reddit user shared, adding that they still missed the former judging trio of Fuller, Goldman and Lorraine Pascale.
One viewer even suggested there might be room for both Fuller and Yeh on the judging panel.
“I would love to see Nancy return, but I think Molly could also be a really good fit at the judging table,” the commenter wrote.
Not everyone is convinced, however.
“WHERE TF IS NANCY. she literally makes the show,” one frustrated viewer wrote, while another criticized Yeh’s addition and called for the competition to focus more on baking.
Others seemed willing to reserve judgment. One commenter said they were giving Yeh a chance to prove herself, acknowledging that she had big shoes to fill.
The mixed reactions come amid continued questions about Yeh’s future on the show. A recent report claimed Food Network executives have not yet decided whether to bring her back for another season.
That claim has not been confirmed by the network, and the Reddit comments represent individual viewers’ opinions rather than evidence of a broader shift in audience sentiment.
For now, some fans who were skeptical about Yeh’s arrival appear willing to give the new judging lineup a chance.
Holiday Baking Championship airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on Food Network.
