With the contestants growing on us things get tenser every episode. I'm also gladly surprised by the original and inspiring topics chosen for the challenges. Judging A Book By Its Cover already raised the bar but this one moved it even higher. Indeed nowadays we're so wired by the networks that it's really hard to wow anyone. People can't help comparing your work to the true masters. It's probably even more difficult to shock and it's what this installment was all about. I didn't know the special guest but his work was quite interesting and discovering new artists is always insightful. Moreover when it came to judge the pieces his comments should have a strong impact on you as most people seemed impressed by him. But the thing I enjoyed the most was the psychological side of this episode. It was captivating to witness the different systems elaborated by the competitors. From sexuality to social issues many dark and questionable matters were brought to light. However I was disappointed that the first were more numerous considering the number of shocking things happening in our world. Otherwise a few sex pieces were creative so you should definitely get inspired. I specially found the interactive one actual even if I think the artist's original idea was a bit lazy and narcissistic. But the judges and other contestants comments made it more exciting because after all we're all obsessed by our little egos. As for the stolen idea incident I consider there's nothing really wrong with it as making things happen is more important. The issue will be covered in the film The Social Network, about Facebook's creator, and as I saw its trailer a few days ago it made the challenge even more shocking. Even Simon's bad news was meant to puzzle us so this fourth episode was definitely successful. Now take a s**t and enjoy the ride !
