The Big Flower Fight

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.

I really wanted to like this show, and to be fair, for the most part I do like the show. I like flowers and the premise of making things from them. I for the most part really liked seeing what the contestants made. Unfortunately that is part of the problem with this show. You don't get to see what everyone makes, I didn't even know all the contestants until the second episode because they just weren't shown. If you are going to have a contest you need to show all the contestants and you need to show what they made. At the end of the first episode you only saw them judge 4 of the sculptures I believe and there were 10 teams. What is the point of having a competition show when you don't get to see all the competition? Really that is my only problem with the show, but it is a major and almost unforgivable one. Who seriously thought that was a good idea? The most interesting part of the show and they aren't showing it? I guess it is a nice show to put on in the background, but unless they change that then I will not turn in for another season.

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!

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.
