All That Glitters: Britain's Next Jewellery Star

In most shows where artist compete with skill the viewer is given the opportunity to learn about about the process. Many times viewers are able to understand why the art price is higher than commercial stores by the intense craftsmanship that goes into it. This host is distracting and jokes which makes light of the art form or the process of conception. Her narration is annoying at best and not truly educational of the history of silversmithing or jewelry making. This show could have truly been encouraging for the next generation of craftsmen but the host makes it seem trivial and not artistic!

I binged season 1 today, and found myself utterly fascinated by the competitors' talent and creativity. The judges are judgy, which is expected. That host, though, went from embarrassingly unprepared (she squealed about the judge using what she called a "monacle" to examine a piece, when he was using a jewelers loupe--a standard piece of equipment) to gratingly annoying as she incessantly attempted (and failed) to be clever and amusing. Though I'm glad that another season has been ordered, I'm less than enthusiastic about her returning as host.

Why is a Canadian who knows nothing about jewelry hosting a British competition for jewelers?

Her voice is annoying and she lacks poise.

The host should have demeanor of someone who'd shopped at Tiffany's.

The show needs Someone like Padma Lakshmi.

Love watching the contestants but the host is just awful. Absolutely cringeworthy. Judges are miscast as well. I hope there is a Season 2 but with the three cast members replaced.

I have taken to watching this type of show to get a glimpse into the world of other talented folk and craftspeople doing their things. In the first episode, though, the host tells one of the female contestants that she should think like a straight while male, in order to do her best. Say what?! Right then and there, the show was done for me, until they change hosts. And...the show should not allow such damaging comments that show favoritism. Simply not appropriate...at all. The host puts me off this show. What a shame. I will peek in and see if they decide to ditch her. Then I will happily give it another chance.
