While I'm in the minority here, I am very unhappy that he won.
This was a grooming show and I don't think the best groomer won.
I thought it was interesting that on the last show the judges seemed to like Jonathan's 8 dogs better but still voted for Artist.
While they say it takes more than just good grooming skills to be groomer of the year, wasn't it Jonathan who won the challenge with the dog owners getting to choose who they thought their dogs liked best?
I can understand everyone having a problem with Jonathan's cockiness but I'm not sure that would even be an issue in his day to day business. He wouldn't be competing, so I think it would be different.
The judges thought Artist took criticism very well and even admitted he got a lot of it. He got more criticism because he didn't know as much as some of the other groomers.
I have no problem with Artist but I just think someone else should've won. At least it was entertaining...
