It was more in the early seasons. I remember one example where it'd been a particularly tough technical challenge where everyone had a hard time and when she and Paul came out, she exclaimed something like "Oh, what a mess!" which... I don't know, it's not the most horrible thing ever, but probably not the nicest thing to say to a group of people who'd spent the last hour and a half really struggling and who were feeling incredibly disappointed in themselves. That wasn't the only such remark, but it was fairly typical. In a recent season, she told someone she would've liked their cake a lot, except that the cake before it was a better version. Again, not horrible but really unnecessary and kind of Mean Girl-ish.

"What a mess" strikes me as fair because almost everyone on set was saying the same thing about those technicals. And saying that a previous recipe was better is pretty good feedback IMO.

Disagree on both counts. Be honest... if you knew that someone had really, really struggled with a project, tried very hard and did their best but it didn't go well and they were absolutely crushed, is that what you'd say the first time you saw it? You think that's a kind, "fair" thing to say?

As for the second, again, no. Mind you, she didn't say that the previous recipe was better, she said something like "I would've thought this was good if I hadn't just eaten a better one" which was completely unnecessary and not keeping with the spirit of the show. I'm not saying criticism is never warranted, but Prue can sometimes be callous with her remarks. Mary knew how to offer suggestions for improvement without being unkind, and you could see how well bakers responded to it.
