Ellen's Next Great Designer

Designers are building pieces of furniture to win a contest.

You follow the building process and the ups and downs.

There are many of these kind of shows on television. Unfortunately the enjoyment of the show hangs on how fun the contestants are. In this case quite a few whine and moan about being tired and hard work and it is getting on my nerves. I would never ever buy something from some of these designers just based on their attitude.

Above that Ellen is hardly involved making me wonder why her name was slapped on the show.

I watched whole season. Talented designers. Annoying hosts. Ellen's involvement minimal.

Ellen is just in the title. She's shown basically maybe ten minutes in the show. She's not a part of it, she lets Scott handle everything.

The judges don't seem to be that great and they have an agenda on who to keep there. In one episode everyone else builds their design, one gets 90% of it manufactured by someone else and they are applauded for it. Sure, it's not the worst thing I've seen, and this is supposedly a design competition, but still.

It's clearly just an Ellen cash grab, slap their name on something, have them show up in a couple of episodes, find people who get starstruck by Ellen and Scott regardless of their talent (most of them are talented, don't get me wrong), and you have a show. Focus on one of them whining about things, blaming their helper for breaking stuff, and then going "but he's so haaawt!"

So don't waste your time with it. It's bad. Just look up the designs and you get all you need from this show.

I completely disagree with the winner. The winner's stuff was often poor quality or made of materials that made it only fit for a show room. The judges were nuts to pick this winner. That all said. I liked watching the designers and seeing what they came up with. If watch it again but hopefully they replace the judges.

The judges are complete joke. Mark, really?? Really?? Tbh i think the show was rigged.
