Most shows do the elimination in 10 minutes at the end of an episode, and yet they needed 60 minutes to kick off 3 people. The elimination episode really was way too drawn out.

There are so many commercials it's pointless..there is about 10 minutes of new content per episode. You can hear people groan in the audience when the hostess says "we'll tell you after this." Even the contestants look more annoyed than anxious. At one point, the hostess even broke mid-annoucement, turned to a new camera and SAID a Ford commercial. They are taking the "reality show suspense" formula and bringing it to ridiculous levels. The films are good, I like the idea, but this is just really dumb "reality show" contrivance.

I'm also pushing for Zach Lipovsky. Not only is he talented, he's Canadian and to boot, he's a local boy. I loved the look on the faces of the other film makers when his team screened their short film about time. They looked absolutely stunned that he'd pulled it off.
