In the latest season of Netflix’s popular competition series “Blown Away,” where glass artists compete for the title of “Best In Glass,” viewers are expressing a common sentiment: disagreement with the judges’ opinions. While the show has captivated audiences with its unique premise and talented contestants, social media has been abuzz with complaints about the perceived subjectivity of the judging panel.
Head judge Katherine Gray, accompanied by a guest judge each week, has been at the center of the criticism. Despite the expertise brought by these judges, many viewers feel that their comments and decisions lack objectivity and fail to adequately evaluate the contestants’ work.
On platforms like Twitter, fans of the show have voiced their frustration, with some expressing disbelief at the judges’ assessments. One viewer remarked, “Watching the most recent season of Blown Away on Netflix and I disagree with the judges on almost every comment.” Another tweeted, “I must not understand art at all. I love watching Blown Away on Netflix but DESPISE the judges and don’t agree with them 90% of the time.”
However, not all feedback has been negative. Some viewers have praised the inclusion of guest judges, such as Deborah Czeresko, for bringing a fresh perspective to the competition. Despite differing opinions, it’s clear that the subjectivity of the judging process has become a point of contention among fans.
In response to the criticism, some have suggested the need for training courses for reality TV and competition judges, citing “Blown Away” as an example where judging comments are perceived as inappropriately subjective.
As viewers continue to voice their opinions online, it remains to be seen how Netflix and the producers of “Blown Away” will address the feedback and potentially make adjustments in future seasons. Nonetheless, the show continues to attract audiences worldwide, showcasing the artistry and skill of glassblowing in a competitive setting.
“Blown Away” Season 3 is now available to stream on Netflix, inviting audiences to witness the drama and creativity unfold in the hot shop.
