Blown away season 2 cast full#

I think Bobby may speak more in his episode than he does in all of Queer Eye. Some of that comes from the guest judges, many of whom are more familiar, from season-one cast members (Alexander Rosenberg and winner Deborah Czeresko both appear) to celebrities (including Queer Eye’s Bobby Berk and NFL player Stephen Weatherly). While the glory hole references are not acknowledged or joked about, alas, there is more humor, and more buoyancy. Season two it does feel more self-assured, and there’s a little more playfulness and looseness.

It’s so pathetically small, and these artists deserve more. Not even the cheap prize changed: it’s still just a “$60,000 prize package,” which of course means it’s not even $60,000 in cash. Blown Away is still 10 episodes, each of which is less than 30 minutes. That explained the short episodes, commercial breaks, and perhaps the cheap prize.ĭespite season-one’s popularity, not much has changed, although I don’t think it aired previously in Canada. The first season was actually a co-production with a Canadian network, which broadcast the show before it went to Netflix. For example, the only cast photo they released appears to be a screenshot and doesn’t even show all of the cast, or identify any of them by name. The only cast photo Netflix released of Blown Away season 2’s contestants, which doesn’t actually show all of the cast members.įirst, I’m still just baffled by Netflix’s investment in the show, which seems oddly minimal. That was true in season one, too, and after watching season two, I re-read my Blown Away season-one review, and everything in that still holds. I’m in awe of what these artists are able to conceive of and create in just hours. The art produced by the contestants is nearly always stunning, both in craft and in concept. The editing is rapid-fire, shifting the image from contestant to contestant, piece to piece. They stand together above the hot shop and chat, usually awkwardly, with the episode’s guest judge.īlown Away’s short episodes breeze by, and that keeps the show light on its feet, but also light on details. Head judge-I mean, resident evaluator-Katherine Gray delivers sharp but never withering critiques. It still host (and former Big Brother contestant) Nick Uhas enthusiastically talking about glory holes. The Netflix reality show still has quick, 30-minute episodes that each have a single challenge.

While Chris made a piece of glass BOUNCE!ĭon't be fooled.Blown Away has not changed significantly in season two, which is both a relief and, honestly, a bit of a disappointment. She was pushed through because her bubbly personality would attract the kind of audience member who has never actually met a glassmaker or artist.Īnd final note, Kat walked around in circles for four hours, dripping glass into a pile, in order to make the finals, which I'm a HUNDRED percent sure I could do with an few minutes of instruction. There were several contestants who deserved to be in the finals and none of them were Kat.

Of course that week it was hard for the judges to decide who should go home. Kat on the other hand conceived of making a bottle that looked like hammered steel :/ and still managed to make it look worse. Remember Chris got praise for his concept even though his execution was lacking that week.

Let's not forget when Kat's lack of skills were on full display during the perfume bottle week. The producers clearly wanted her in the finals to boost ratings. Did anyone notice that Kat was being pushed through to the finals without merit.
