Response to the comments about the judges: It's important to keep in mind that the explanations from both judges were heavily condensed in the final edit. To keep the show entertaining and engaging for a general audience, which is ultimately the most important audience to reach because they're the ones who can learn the most from the show, I had to significantly shorten each judge's reasoning.
I may have condensed those explanations too much and, in doing so, left out some important factors behind certain scoring decisions, which could have made some of the scores seem confusing or harder to understand.
Every season is a learning experience. We'll take the feedback into account and continue refining the format of future seasons to strike a better balance between entertainment and providing enough for the best learning experience.
