Spring Baking Championship judge Kardea Brown delivered a passionate response which refuted a fan's accusation that Food Network uses Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (Dei) policies, rather than talent, to decide which contestants advance to the next round. The Spring Baking Championship season 10 final three contestants have been decided after Nickey Boyd and Alex Bonnefoi went head-to-head in a bake-off. Nickey won the challenge, and she earned her place in the finale by impressing the judges--Kardea, Duff Goldman, and Nancy Fuller--with her creative transformation of a key lime pie into a pavlova. She now joins Robert Gonzalez and Steven Tran in the finale.
