La Grande Bataille des fleurs

The contestents make this show what it is, they are weird and quirky and kind of wonderful. In almost all the episodes I agreed with both the winner and the loser. The judge is a bit much though, his voice inflections and posturing take away from the show, it's not all about you Kristin!

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.

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.

First off, I loved this show. I work with plants and it was so nice to see all the creative uses for each plant shine in each challenge. I just wish that all of the artists had the opportunity to strive toward their complete artistic vision. This means letting everyone have all of the resources they need, the contestants shouldn't have to fight over plants. Let them be judged on the creativity and realization of their ideas not on whether they could run over and grab the most stuff. Also, let them have assistants especially for the bigger challenges. Otherwise, you're biasing the show toward the most physically strong. Other shows allow assistants, especially for the final challenge. Again, let them be judged for their vision, not their physical strength and endurance. Great start, but can definitely use some improvement.

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!
