The Big Flower Fight

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.

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.

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.

I have to agree, the judge who's in every episode (Kristen whatever) almost makes this show unwatchable. He has an off-putting personality and says the most obvious and ridiculous things to the contestants who all seem way more talented than he does. It's a mystery to me how he landed the job. Something about him is just unlikeable--how did no one notice that during the casting process? Thankfully, most everything else about the show is great - the guest judges, the hosts, the contestants...for the most part, a real pleasure to watch!

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.
