I enjoyed the show until the last night. I was so sadden by the departure of Eric. He was such an inspiration to me. He tried so hard in his work and overcoming the brutal accident and his starting over from scratch in his life. I did not pity him, I admired him. The so called artists on his team were pretentious self involved. They only suck up to Miles, and tag along behind his so called "great " ideas because he had won a couple of times. Miles was all "my way be cause my so called ideas are great or wonderful." His little tagalongs sucked up and went with his ideas (the girls). Eric was an out cast because he dared to express an idea or opinion. The childish "girl" who won last. She only accomplished he work after running around getting everyone opinion then taking their ideas and using that with her unoriginal photos. You might review the tapes and make your conclusions.......Mine Eric should have stayed. What has Peragrine accomplished besides dress for attention and wear her stupid hats. I like Art.

So I actually like this show. I don't take it seriously - I mean, how can you really judge who is the "best" artist anyway? In the end it's subjective, and kind of insulting. All that aside - they need to change the judges. They are the most incredibly pretentious group of people I have ever been exposed to. Pretentious and superficial. (E.g. the fact that they were continually gushing over that one contestant's self-absorbed shiite - the one who doesn't like men staring at her but loves flaunting her body all the time. They thought her work was so profound - it wasn't at all.) My God - is the art world really like that?! If so, it must be a thousand times more pretentious and awful than the fashion world, which is a shocker! What a bunch of poseurs.There have got to be qualified judges who are more down to earth (and supportive. They themselves probably don't have a creative bone in their bodies.) I also agree China Chow has to go. I mean - what qualifications does she have?! Oh, she her parents knew some famous artists. Give me a break. She's also extremely unlikeable, and another one who couldn't probably draw a straight line if her life depended on it. NEXT! However, I love Simon De Pury. He's a keeper! He's funny, and he's genuine - he really IS the way he is, he's not putting it on! He's also nice, and it seems to me he's the real deal - he does know art.
