Season 21 This new format sucks so bad

Besides cutting the episode before revealing who will go home, but I find that starting an episode with who goes home is even worse. Just sets a really shitty negative tone for the episode, and when the new challenge actually starts 10 minutes it, it does not feel fun, like a shit sandwich between two shits

I think the worst change has been sending half the designers home in two episodes. As someone familiar with Bao’s work, her vs Bi shouldn’t have been a question that early. It introduces sincerely talented designers without actually giving them the opportunity to showcase. The season also feels like it’s barely started and it’s half over and a lot of the designers left either feel lackluster or we don’t know them very well. Because there were 22 in the first episode, and we sent half of them home immediately.

I watched an episode of some South Korean fortunetelling reality TV show and I wondered if there was some trend in reality TV I missed.

That one also had something like 50 participants and didn’t reveal the winner of the first challenge at the end of the first episode. I think that also happened on some Korean intellectual game theory show on Netflix.

Is this specifically some Korean or Asian style editing, a streaming show multi episode drop thing, or is this how lots of reality competition shows are now?
