All the technical terms, that’s why I’m here, Catherine.”Īs a host-well, did I mention Bobby Berk is good at judging? The show’s sometimes clunky editing doesn’t pair well with his flat delivery, and together they spectacularly whiff the big reveal of the winner in episode four, which is about as anticlimactic as possible, so much so that the winner seems to have missed the announcement. Katherine’s knowledge and expertise is terrific, as always, and I appreciate that Bobby at least acknowledges his lack of knowledge about glass blowing: “How do you do square stuff?” he asks her. There are no guest judges, perhaps owing to the shortened production schedule and/or COVID-related restrictions. This season, Berk is just one of two judges for the whole competition, along with resident evaluator Katherine Gray.

The show’s crew has done a spectacular job transforming the interior: Christmas trees and faux birch trees wrapped in twinkling lights border the space flat, glass stockings are hung by a fireplace and other decorations abound, complementing the brick walls and wood beams overhead. (The hot shop is constructed in a warehouse in Hamilton, Ontario, known as The Cotton Factory.) The set of Blown Away is perfect for a holiday season: an icy, snowy warehouse, smoke coming from the chimney, transitioning into a warm interior with snow drifting past the windows. The challenges are all holiday-themed, from creating gifts to creating a full tree’s worth of ornaments in just hours. Come on, Netflix: give the artists some cash!) (People get $10,000 for three plates of food on Chopped. They’re competing in four challenges, and at the end the winner receives $20,000: $10,000 in cash, and $10,000 for charity, a really nice way to split up an impossibly cheap prize.
