The don't seem very engaged in my opinion....I may have already said this before I'm not sure... in past seasons Pete and Manu used to be 'good cop/bad cop' type of people when it came to judging meals... I feel that Pete used to be the 'bad cop' in the years of past but this year it seems to be Manu that has taken on the role of the 'bad cop' to me at least... he seems to be quite harsh with them at times... I'm not sure as to what made them change the roles but I have definitely noticed it myself... have any of you noticed it too or is it my imagination?... just asking... cheers.
I am finding them both to be quite aloof this season.
