    I am not a fan of "reality" TV. But I absolutely LOVED this show. Not only watching the artists (contestants) performing their skills (with very difficult deadlines). But mostly, that the judges were fair, honest... and NOT BULLIES. Too many of the shows the judges are jerks (and I am being nice). Not once, through the whole season, were any of the judges anything but helpful andI am not a fan of "reality" TV. But I absolutely LOVED this show.

Too many of the shows the judges are jerks (and I am being nice). Not once, through the whole season, were any of the judges anything but helpful and constructive, They NEVER made a contestant feel bad about themselves or their talent.
    I really hope that this show continues, we need MORE positive role models ... and less bullies.    … Collapse

    Because the contestants are also paired into teams, we get the sometime fractious reality-show dynamics of forced alliances. Based on this show, however, there don’t seem to be many truly obnoxious people whose dream is to design cool monsters.

    Creature Shop Challenge is about doing the most in the least amount of time, and while there’s some impressive work on display in the premiere, the impulse to keep watching comes from the sense that the best, most stunning creatures are yet to come.

    Though Creature Shop's competition approach might be tiresomely formulaic (all stemming from the Project Runway idea tree), the bottom line is it's still a series that promotes creativity.
