I’ve been a fan of the show for years and it’s been really interesting reading these, thanks for sharing. One thing from this episode that really struck me after the fact was Ben’s use of AI to create the artwork. I didn’t realise at the time - I find it quite hard to tell when something is AI compared to a lot of other people I think! - but it feels wrong and really disappointing on a number of levels, not least the impact that AI ‘art’ is having on artists’ livings. Obviously the show is edited and we only see a tiny fraction of what actually happened - but I’d be really interested to know any of your thoughts about this, if you have any you’re willing to share. I imagine it’s just going to become a bigger thing/issue in any future series given the rise of it right now in general.
Great read and I totally agree about “chopped” cushions - I really dislike them intensely. I once rearranged cushions in an hotel and shook out all the “chops”! X
My hubby and I always make predictions at the start of the series about who we think might win. Sadly my prediction - your minimalist lad - was out week one. I won't be joining your judging panel just yet, lol. x
