[QUOTE="D_W, post: 1444078, member: 22799"] Destined to fail due to formulaic concept. Everyone starts. Someone boats, people work through things various disasters, someone works up to the very limit of time with a "they'll never save this attempt" gimmick and then at the end of the show, they'll have a pro-wrestling pre-destined finish. I started making chisels for fun, asking questions about forging (I don't watch much TV) and almost everyone said "FORGED IN FIRE!!". I watched the show, and the format is contrived to make sure that none of the makers is familiar with the tools and methods they used to create trouble. Everyone looks incompetent, the jobs are made to seem impossibly hard and then when they send people back to their own shops, you see them working with tools they're familiar with and actually getting something nice made.
