The Big Flower Fight

If they decide to do another season, could they please find a replacement for Kristen? As others have indicated, his vibe doesn't jive with this cute and quirky little show about flowers. He seems to think he's RuPaul judging contestants on Drag Race. Although unlike Ru, he is neither especially witty, nor does he come decked out in fabulous drag. He just states the obvious most of the time (i.e., "it's beautiful!" or "it's not beautiful!" or "it needs to be beautiful"!) but in an unnecessarily nasty way. A real disappointment, considering what might have been. I did make it through to the end and enjoyed most of the challenges. The contestants were so likable and I feel like I could watch them do their thing all day.

This is a fascinating show with a great diverse group of talent. The only problem I found with the show was the resident judge Kristen Griffith-Vanderyacht. The show is not enhanced by his commentary, as there were plenty of other qualified hosts. I found myself muting the sound whenever he spoke, almost stopped watching solely because of that.

I hope the show films a second season (minus KGV) because this was a fascinating peek into a creative world rarely seen.

I really wanted to like this show, but the main judge was absolutely dreadful. The guest judges were fantastic and actually experts in the category of the episode but were overshadowed by the main judge giving very basic and unhelpful critics. I do hope there is a second season but with a different judge. I nearly stopped watching the season because he was so distracting and hard to watch, but finished because my fiancé insisted we finish the season.

My biggest hangup with the show is that they never seem to showcase all the contestants. People spend 15 hours putting together something, the least you could do is show their finished work and give the artists some air time. Less of Kristen, more of the contestants next time please.

First off, I loved this show. I work with plants and it was so nice to see all the creative uses for each plant shine in each challenge. I just wish that all of the artists had the opportunity to strive toward their complete artistic vision. This means letting everyone have all of the resources they need, the contestants shouldn't have to fight over plants. Let them be judged on the creativity and realization of their ideas not on whether they could run over and grab the most stuff. Also, let them have assistants especially for the bigger challenges. Otherwise, you're biasing the show toward the most physically strong. Other shows allow assistants, especially for the final challenge. Again, let them be judged for their vision, not their physical strength and endurance. Great start, but can definitely use some improvement.
