The Big Flower Fight

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
