This current Buddy vs. Duff season is baking up controversy, too. Many fans complained about last week’s competition, in which Buddy and Duff created cakes recreating scenes from the classic Christmas ballet The Nutcracker. Team Buddy created a display of the Mouse King towering over a four-layer cake, while Team Duff depicted the Mouse King facing off against the Nutcracker Prince.
In the end, it was Team Buddy that won… much to fans’ dismay. “So over #TeamDuff losing to Buddy,” one commenter wrote on Duff’s post about the Nutcracker showdown. “Your cake told a story. His was a wedding cake with a topper. Again #TeamDuff was robbed. It’s so annoying.”

Viewers also expressed their frustration on Twitter.
“Don’t know why I still watch,” one person wrote. “The judges suck at representation of theme definition. @DuffGoldman nailed it. Anyone who’s seen The Nutcracker knows the Mouse King, Clara, and Nutcracker are three primary characters and should be seen as such. #TeamDuff clearly knows this.”
Another person tweeted, “I don’t know why I watch #BuddyVsDuff anymore. Every season they pick judges whose sole purpose seem to be praising Buddy for making things that are completely unrelated to the theme.”
And a third naysayer wrote, “Team Duff got hosed. Duff’s Nutcracker scene was so much better than Buddy’s. The East Coast judges got bullied into submission by West Coast judges. Bulls—t.”
