1/10
The Winner Devalued the Entire Season

Warning: Spoilers
I enjoyed watching the show, and seeing the art and technique of the contestants was awesome, however almost every episode was ruined by the bitter, horrible little person who won in the end.

Every episode had her insulting other contestants. "X technique is so pedestrian, anyone could do it, how is that special?" she whines, before using the exact same technique on the next piece. Her sculptures are repeatedly criticised by the judges as lacking real technical skill.

She constantly victimised herself. "It's so rare to be a female glassblower," she repeats 50 times while half the contestants around her are female. As the last other female is eliminated she says "It was my fantasy that this would be a female dominated competition, because we're the only creative ones. Now I'm the only contestant who represents ANY sort of marginalisation or difference." You don't know the other contestants, you're just a judgemental little mole.

Throughout the show there were different briefs for each challenge. Where other contestants were swiftly eliminated for not following it closely, they praised her blatantly ignoring them. When asked to create a floral piece, a person who made a dandelion was eliminated over the potato she dumped out.

In the end she won with a piece that looked like a 4 year old could have made it over a display that showed a vast arrangement of different skills and ideas. Why? Because she pushed a feminist agenda with it.
