Full Bloom

Really disturbing how they make the competitors turn on each other. It's ugly and had to turn off. Could have been great to watch but to much meanness.

The show feels like a parody of reality shows. It would only need minor tinkering to become an awesomely comedic parody. The hosts feel like SNL skit characters who are badgering serious contestants. HBO could have had a comedy hit on their hands if they hadn't insisted on being serious.

It's just so frustrating to watch because the contestants are amazing, however, the judges seem thirsty for drama and cut some of the most talented people early. The talent is amazing but the judges seem out of touch with reality and over the top. HBO could do way better.

Great concept, beautiful arrangements, bad execution.

All the other subpar reviews mention the judges, and I have to agree. They were my least favorite part of the show. Questionable decisions and clear favoritism.

My second least favorite part of the show was how eliminations came from whatever team lost the group challenges. This often lead to more deserving competitors going home premature.

Full bloom is a very good and unique competition show. There are very touching stories throughout and a lot of talent on display, but it was about 4 episodes too long. If they do a season 2, they should lessen the amount of competitors or cut a couple contestants each episode.
