Blown Away: Navidades

I think this special season was an improvement on the first two. I appreciated the lack of bad mouthing other contestants. I also appreciated the attempt at teaching us more about technique and what different tools are for, which I had an issue with in the other seasons. One foolish reviewer said both the hosts have no experience with glass blowing, which is absurd because Katherine Gray is very much a professional. It DOES seem counterintuitive having a host with no knowledge of the art judging and critiquing but I actually get it. Most of the viewers are not professional glass blowers and we have differing opinions on what we like and don't, so having that inexperienced judge gives the glass blowers something to work for because their art, if they want to sell it has to be appealing to others.

Season 1 and 2 were very good! Nick Uhas did a great job at hosting and the judging was reasonable.

The Christmas special is complete trash, judging decisions made no sense and the host is terrible.

If this fool hosts season 3 I won't be watching. Better get Nick back or you've screwed up a great show!

Why was the guy from Queer Eye there? He knows nothing about glass and thus has no appreciation of the artistry and skills needed. He constantly asks stupid questions about what's happening, because he doesn't know! If I were an artist being told to leave the shop by this guy, I would frankly ask "who are you to judge my work, dude! You know nothing of my art!"

I know, they see people watching this show, so they're pushing the Queer Eye guy into the show in hopes of pushing up the other show ratings, but it just doesn't make sense. Go back to having judges who know what they're judging!

I'm Catholic but still can find it offensive that only Christmas is thought of in shows. Two of five contestants were Jewish, another Japanese. Why limit it to Christmas? I also want to add that Alexander was ripped off.

I was enthralled with watching the glass blowers challenge themselves and display their creativity, at the end of each challenge I was so amazed. I wish there was a bit more description behind exactly what they're doing to execute the task, like what tools do what or why they don't always wear gloves.

I don't like the host, his puns and trying too hard to get a laugh annoyed me. The second judge had the personality of a mop - why not explain the complexity of the execution? Tell us how hard it is to achieve what the glass blowers have done instead of giving a short judgement. Change the host and I'd watch another season. Maybe more contestants too.
