Review of The Great Interior Design Challenge

Season 1 , episode 3, was maddening. Holly nailed what the clients wanted. She delivered a gorgeous room about which the clients were over the moon. Frankie, while beautifully done in episode 2, was not successful in delivering what the client wanted in episode 3. The judges admitted that he failed completely with the lighting. And the style he delivered was not even steam punk. His client was moderately happy with the room. Even the side, creative project the designers made was misjudged, in my opinion. That chair Frankie made was downright ugly. Both of these designers are extremely talented. However, it was clear all the way through Season 1, that the judges favored Frankie. They exaggerated his successes and seemed to discount his failures. Why? Male privilege is the only thing I could think of. Even my husband was upset about this. He also thought Holly was the clear winner for episode 3. We stopped watching the show after this episode, because when there is obvious nepotism, it takes all the fun out of watching.
