Think as the seasons have gone on definitely got away from what it once was and more a "fix" to keep the judges favorites. Don't know why they have Navarro who ignores what the challenge was and goes but "that's the coolest tattoo"....why have themes if you're not going to hold them to meet them. Was watching one of the shows in season 11 on reflection and the girl that did the reflection in the crystal ball did a completely unrealistic hand, little detail, and they called it "no reflection" but said it looked like the alien was in the ball. I thought these were supposed to be artists judging....but what would a reflection or even a something inside a spherical object look like....not anything like what she had but I guess she was a judges favorite.
Multiple seasons and episodes like that including her surviving the missing arms tattoo. smh
