Full Bloom

I have never watched a competition show that gets rid of the most talented people faster. Just be in the middle and you last forever, top three and your on the chopping block. I stopped watching not because the show is not cool but I could not watch another top contestant be eliminated. I seriously hate these judges!

The show feels like a parody of reality shows. It would only need minor tinkering to become an awesomely comedic parody. The hosts feel like SNL skit characters who are badgering serious contestants. HBO could have had a comedy hit on their hands if they hadn't insisted on being serious.

Full bloom is a very good and unique competition show. There are very touching stories throughout and a lot of talent on display, but it was about 4 episodes too long. If they do a season 2, they should lessen the amount of competitors or cut a couple contestants each episode.

I really wanted to like this show as I love most competition reality shows. Especially those about artists. The more niche, the better. This is as niche as it gets, but I was intrigued. I loved the artists and what they created. Sadly, the judging is absolutely absurd. In every single episode they actually cut the most talented one and keep the one who should have gone home in the first weeks. It's so stupid I don't even know what they were thinking. It is not worth watching. Unless you like to see the arrangements that win get worse and worse over the weeks becsuse they cut the best ones early. This has so much potential. But, they really need to fix their judges.

It's just so frustrating to watch because the contestants are amazing, however, the judges seem thirsty for drama and cut some of the most talented people early. The talent is amazing but the judges seem out of touch with reality and over the top. HBO could do way better.
