La Grande Bataille des fleurs

The contestents make this show what it is, they are weird and quirky and kind of wonderful. In almost all the episodes I agreed with both the winner and the loser. The judge is a bit much though, his voice inflections and posturing take away from the show, it's not all about you Kristin!

Kristen, the main judge, is charismatic and knows his stuff. However, I can't stand how unfair he is during judging. There's no rubric! No structure and set expectations - his judging is subjective and depends on the contestants' personalities. Yes, they explain what they are looking for, but then they are swayed by other factors during the challenges. Love the contestants and their work, I just feel they are judged a bit unfairly by Kristen.

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.

What fantastic talent !! A very entertaining and fun series. The amount of creativity, and imagination is truly inspiring. Absolutely LOVE this series. I hope there will be another one. There is so much to learn and appreciate from these incredible artisans.

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.
