Does someone know where to find the official statement from any of the show’s producers, director or the composer’s? They are mentioned a lot and everyone seems to be taken for granted that they did in fact judge this competition but I can’t find any statements from a single one of them anywhere. I think competitors are not as upset about the winner as they are upset about the lack of transparency of this competition. It ended up looking like a cheap publicity stunt from spitfire to get more customers, with the favor of HBO and the show’s creators, producers, director and composer.

That is very very good, I’ve also found others Ipersonally liked much more than the winner or the finalists.

Have to say, I agree with you.
