Sad reality TV plot twist of the night: Fans of the TLC reality show “Next Great Baker” got a major shock tonight when they found out that one of the contestants, Wesley Durden, an Army paratrooper noted for his baking skills, died. But it didn’t happen this week. In fact, he died way back in October, a victim of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The network apparently chose to wait until he had been eliminated from the show to break the news to viewers, creating a double-whammy effect. Twitter is in disbelief right now.
