Thank you, I really love Phoning It In, but I am so over Jonny constantly being set up to fail for laughs. It's genuinely not funny, it makes me feel like shit to watch. Even if he played it up for the camera, it seems like even he got frustrated this time too. I appreciate Zach for trying to make him feel better, but like it's so ridiculous at this point to not just invest in a second oven. Thank God he won or I would have been so peeved on his behalf. There is enough chaos in the inherent structure of the show that we don't have to also fuck with their equipment.

I wont lie, the fact that whoever designed this kitchen didnt add 2 ovens will always bother me. They know what kind of videos they make here, no one should have to use a toaster oven.

[@christinebenson518]

I have looked into the idea of two ovens in a kitchen. Apparently, it's common in Jewish households, so they can have a dairy oven and a meat oven. My dream kitchen would have 2 induction ranges next to each other because I despise gas. I'd also have 2 farmhouse sinks side by side and a separate prep sink. It's a pipe dream.

[@aurelia2132]

Honestly, huge credit to Jonny Cakes for his "let's give it a name" strategy, which I honestly think probably helped Zach follow along with his instructions. There were a lot of frostings and fillings going on, and being able to say "use Gregory for this" made it so much easier to keep track of what should be used where.

I hope Johnny doesn’t feel bad about it and comes back! He was a great mix into the Try chemistry! But also, congrats to JonnyCakes. He has suffered so much with the Try Guys, that every win should be extra celebrated.

[@Harri_Jay_Kay]

Considering he said Kwesi was who he wanted he seems to be a fan of the channel or at least cared enough to watch some videos before appearing. He also has shared quite a few posts about it om his stories so I think he had a good time!

[@catastrophique]

i think Kwesi wouldve won if it wasn't for the salt mistake. His dessert had more difficult elements and he nailed them all except for the salt mistake (tbh sometimes the staff are to blame because they probably didnt label the salt and they have one proper oven and another smaller one which doesnt do the job properly which was unfair to Zach since it put him in a disadvantage). It's also more impressive to do what Kwesi did considering he had no idea what he was making. Whereas Zach was just making a regular simpler cake

[@whereyoubean]

There's a British KZbin channel called Sorted where they have chefs and normals do different cooking stuff. One of their challenges, they each get like 10 mins in the kitchen, can't talk to the other members, and have to make a themed coherent dish. It's one of my favorite things to watch ever.

And I think if the salt/sugar mix up hadn't happened this would've been probably one of Kwesi's best results in a cooking competition he's done.

I had such a fun time doing this show! I was VERY anxious though 🤣😅

@@johnnybakecake I'm glad you did have fun! And totally understandable. I had a great time watching the episode and very much enjoyed what you brought to the show 😊

[@truebornseeker9767]

Devastating that the only thing that went overtly wrong with Kwesi’s cake is that he accidentally used salt instead of sugar, a pretty common mistake

[@kassassin_brahgawk]

Once upon a time, my sister texted me while I was at work saying she was making puppy chow. I was so excited. I got home and immediately shoved a handful into my mouth. It went to paste. She used flour instead of powdered sugar on accident lololol

[@TaLuLuDAY]

The bearded Johnny definitely didn't brace himself enough for Kwesi's commentary lmao his face so reddd

[@AC-hu5tg]

I would love to see a segment that is JohnnyBakeCake and Kwesi James just slowly and patiently learning how to bake different treats. Kwesi deserves it after all the craziness and he is clearly eager to learn in a positive environment!

Calm Patient Johnny vs Jonny Who Actually Knows How The Minds Of The Guys Work

I love that he knew Zach was screwing with them when he started yelling at the end. “I hate them” lol

[@teddysambol8964]

jonnybakecake: if he tries to use that that’s gonna be gross kwesi: …that’s freaking fantastic, I have to use this

[@babysalazarsmommy]

When kwesi said "explain it to me like I'm a 2 year old" I felt that hahahaha!

[@valeria_sue777]

Kwesi has to be the adult in charge of his Chef's shenanigans kills me! What an interesting flip of dynamics HAHAHA

[@acciocreativity]

i love finding out lore about people that reveals how close friends they are, like “remember when we went to disneyland and you let me borrow your socks? i wore them today for luck” “you think my socks are ugly?” incredible. no notes.

[@purplemelonade2065]

ngl, I feel like if there wasn't salt rimming the pan, it would def be a tough call. I think Kwesi did an AMAZING job except for that one blip (which is super common anyway), which is a vast improvement. Honestly, they both did an amazing job; you can definitely see the improvement in comparison to their first respective debut. Favourite season of PII for sure!~

[@OpalLeigh]

I agree completely:) one of the awesome things about Kwesi is that he wants to learn and grow and it’s so fun to see his progress!

[@audrey_chaan]

GET A SECOND OVEN I AM BEGGING YOU FOR JOHNNY’S SANITY 😭😭😭

[@maddielc204]

Honestly though, as someone who writes instructions for a living Johnny Cakes getting Zach to name things is brilliant. They can refer to it based on a common name which is like step one.

[@katshik2282]

I felt for Johnny Bake Cakes so hard when it was judging time. Those nerves were so real😭😭😭

[@daydreaam473]

Right I felt awful

[@Christinavernon2382]

I felt bad for him the whole time 🥲

[@wolfsbane4516]

He ran with it so well, though! Major kudos to him for that, the poor guy

[@chis_pop]

Please have Johnny bake cakes back, he is such a chill guy 10/10.

[@lindsey4620]

Love watching the communication techniques at play between chef and idiot, like the naming things for easier reference and the patience and cooperation with kwesi’s very poetic descriptions of food

[@i_prefer_the_term_antihero]

1. This was AMAZING, my favorite episode this season. I don’t always laugh out loud watching KZbin videos but the judging had me absolutely cackling 2. PLEASE keep the “idiots” in the chefs’ ears at the judging as a permanent feature, it’s GLORIOUS 3. Zach and Jonny is my favorite pairing, please keep pairing them up 4. Johnnybakecakes was a delight 5. Other contestants should use Zach’s naming method, because I think it genuinely helped them more easily and quickly discuss things

[@effelmendoza1374]

"The only formally trained Jonny." *GOOD GOD JONNY BEING ATTACKED WITH THESE INTROS AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH* 😂😂😂

[@bobobee9206]

As a baker, the way Kwesi measures wet ingredients is going to give me nightmares. Not using a liquid measuring cup is one thing, but not even filling the dry measuring cups to the top??? I'm speachless.

[@amandakesterson224]

😐... there are liquid measuring cups?

[@bobobee9206]

@amandakesterson224 yup! They're the clear ones with the marks up the side and a handle. Zach uses one in the video.

[@lolisastupidwordxD]

Not wanting to use grams is what gives me nightmares as a European haha

[@jlt131]

i've seen the dry cups that had an interior marking of where the level should be, instead of all the way to the top. it's nice, it reduces spillage. i'm hoping that's what those were. and i use "dry measure" cups about 90% of the time in my baking, it doesn't really change anything vs using the glass measurer.

[@bobobee9206]

@jlt131 I'm not entirely sure if the marks inside a dry measuring cup would be accurate. Liquids tend to dip a little bit when you measure them, which is why liquid measuring cups are clear, so you can get eye level and see where the lowest point is to get the most accurate measurement. I don't remember the name of it, it's just the one thing I managed to retain from 7th grade science other than the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. All of that to say: I just use liquid measuring cups because that's how I learned to bake and I haven't bothered to change my measuring techniques lol. As long as you fill it to the top, i don't think it'll make much difference in most baking. Kwesi, however, was using normal metal dry measuring cups and filling them about 3/4 of the way, so he didn't even measure close to the right amount 😅

[@nush597]

Both Jonny and Johnny went through it this episode, I hope Johnny bake cake didn't get scared off he was such a delight!

[@lyrikferrer8438]

“Sorry I’m yelling at you, thanks for watching”🕺🏻I love Johnny on the channel he adds such a fun vibe to everything

The fighting over the oven is insanely frustrating when there are REMOVABLE RACKS TO FIT THE CAKE SIZES!!!!

I do love that the regular Johnny we see knows how to instruct Zach on what to do but like learn him name things so he understands what needs to be done.

The moment when Zach accidentally drops the top layer and Kwesi’s head slowly enters the frame - peak comedy!

[@julie2480]

Directly onto the superglue bottle too

[@bgillen5704]

Kwesi filling the measuring cups halfway is killing me. 😭

[@danielleking262]

I noticed that! But I was hoping it was just because he said 1/3 of a cup, so instead of using the 1/3 cup, he just filled one cup 1/3 of the way. 😅🤦‍♀️

[@Kyosumari]

@@danielleking262 NGL, when lazy and not doing something more finicky, I've done that, but never when baking. lol.

[@Alena-cq1ze]

@@danielleking262 Nope, I'm pretty sure he used a separate 1/3 cup that he ALSO only half filled for that part.

[@arijake0]

i vote for another oven, but the judges saying what the idiots say is the best addition to this series

[@moonlightcake]

Watching these would be a lot more fun if both contestants had their own ovens, it's so frustrating how often that ends up being an unfair handicap 😭
