Well, I've watched for three episodes now, and I'm giving up. The challenges are SO stupid. The stuff they are making is beyond horrid and ugly. The judges are so over-the-top and their comments are so scripted (it's obvious to me that somebody is actually behind the scenes writing the lines they are saying in their critiques, which are supposedly off-the-cuff). They blast the crafters for using glue guns and glitter ... then in the next challenge, they ask why they did not use glue guns and glitter! Are you kidding me?!
Like I said, this show could have been GREAT and I'm very disappointed in how it's being handled. Just my humble opinion, of course!
I feel the same as you. AS far as it goes for me, I feel they had a great idea!! BUT I think some one who doesn't know any thing about crafts and how things really work and why we do what we do - is pulling ALL of the strings!!!! I love it when someone who doesn't quilt - tells me how to do it, or goes off on why JCP's or Kmart, etc has it for less money. The show SUCKS!!!!
