The judging on EDC is clearly corrupt. There was no reason for Sef staying until the finale. They clearly wanted to build the TV drama, and besides, they aren't very good at judging either. Not to mention the fact that Ellen has her name in the title, yet appears about once per season. If the judging were not corrupt and the judges considered all pieces going into the finale, and didn't just include Sef for drama, Miles almost certainly would have won, not Vivian. Sef won once, with a crappy table on week 2. Miles and Vivian both won twice. Even when Sef did win on week 2, Mile's bar chairs looked so much better. Sef made many nasty comments about other pieces, despite the fact he had to cheat to not be eliminated, and was not at all nice when he was with Chip. He completely ignored the judges advice, and for didn't even make a couch. He made a bench. Kyle, who actually made a decent couch, was eliminated. Oh yeah, he also cheated on dresser week, and the film crew recorded it. He stayed. The judges clearly wanted to build the drama on the show to attract more viewers, but it completely backfired, turning people away and writing reviews like this about their corrupt judging.

So I enjoy the work of the designers on the show - and the innovative and forward thinking designs!In the last three episodes I watched - where's Ellen? The periodic video clips of her I don't find amusing, and really destroy the vibe of the show. After watching the show it became VERY obvious that they are just using her name to create interest - or is it the other way around??? If the show is named after her, I would expect her to be an ACTIVE PART of the show and expect to see her every week - otherwise, take her name off the show and eliminate the annoying video clips with her. Doing that, you'd have the same, if not, a better show.

I hated the show. It went OK for awhile then the goofy lady designer was to weird, all she wanted to do was make acrylic furniture. That's not furniture its plastic crap. Of the George Jetson era in the 1950's. No real thought. She appeared to be in a "stoned" state, Like oh man far out, I made a plastic desk, half plastic table, and PLASTICPVC piping for legs, give me a break. She should never of won. I will never bother to watch this show again. DUMB SHOW ELLEN . IT SUCKED. THE WINNER SUCKED THE STONED GIRL Awful SHOW GET RID OF IT A WASTE OF TIME. Even Casbar was better than stoned girl. My favorite was the cowboy, unfortunatlly he had a beautiful piece of furniture that I'm sure you will make a lot of money off of, was similar to someone else design. This show prolly won't last. Done with the show.

I was skeptical at first; Now, I'm Hooked line & sinker on this show. I put reminders just to make sure I don't miss it. I've enjoyed every moment of the show. I love the creations these artists make in such a short amount of time. Looking forward to future episodes but right now I'm enjoying this Amazing shows 1st season & truly see so many more to come! Great job Ellen Degeneres & HGTV; I really enjoy the people whom you allow to come on; they are from all walks of life & they are so down to earth; like a next door neighbor, not some huge name designer already. I can see these all going to do bigger & better things in the future; just from being on this amazing show. Keep it coming I'll be watching.
