Ep 1. Enormous Insects

In the first episode of season one of The Big Flower Fight, titled Enormous Insects, ten pairs of talented budding florists are introduced to the show. The contestants are a mix of artists, sculptors, and gardeners, all ready to put their creative skills to the test to win the grand prize of exhibiting their masterpiece at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in London.

The challenge begins with the hosts, comedians Vic Reeves and Natasia Demetriou, calling out the first theme: "Enormous Insects". The contestants are then given five days to create giant floral installations inspired by insects, which are to be displayed in a beautiful Victorian manor house.

As the contestants start brainstorming, they realize the scale of the challenge. Their ideas vary from a massive fiery caterpillar to an enormous dragonfly to a floral spider that spans across an entire wall. They all agree that size matters and are committed to pushing boundaries. There is a sense of excitement and nervous anticipation among the competitors as they try to figure out how to bring their creations to life.

The contestants get to work, gathering all the materials they need to make their creations, including wire, plants, and fabric. The sheer scale of their designs forces them to enlist the help of the ground crew, who are in charge of transport and installing the installations at the manor house.

As the days go by, tensions rise, and personalities clash as the teams grapple to get everything done on time. Arguments break out, and some contestants struggle with the technical aspects of their designs, which can't be overlooked when creating such immense pieces.

Apart from creating their giant floral installations, the contestants also have to be mindful of the environment and sustainability. The judges, florist Kristen Griffith VanderYacht, celebrity florist Simon Lycett, and Lady Hay, a socialite who has a keen eye for design, are on hand to inspect the creations and to pick out their favorites.

On the day of the competition, the teams bring their final designs to the manor house, where they are installed in various areas. The florists' designs are truly remarkable, with one team creating a brilliant metallic beetle that glitters in the sunlight, another team crafting a giant moth out of peonies, and yet another team making an enormous floral ant.

As the judges inspect the creations, they take into account the technical aspects, the overall look, and how well the installations fit into their surroundings. The contestants all hold their breath as they wait for the judges' verdict.

At the end of the episode, the judges select the three best floral installations of the week, and the teams who created them are given immunity from elimination in the next round. The remaining teams are left hanging on the edge, waiting to find out who will be sent home.

Overall, the first episode of The Big Flower Fight season one is a feast for the eyes, with the stunning floral creations leaving the audience in awe and admiration of the contestants' ingenuity and skill. With the first challenge over, the competition is set to be a tough but thrilling journey for the remaining contestants, with more exciting tasks and surprises in store.
