Featuring Eric Buterbaugh
Hosted By Gigi Levangie Grazer
What’s It All About? The producers of RuPaul’s Drag Race are behind this new floral design competition series. The eight-episode, one-hour series hows what it takes to be a master in the cutthroat business of extreme floral design. With high stakes challenges, colorful contestants and explosive conflicts, The Arrangement reveals that surviving the world offloral design is far from “tip-toeing through the tulips.”
The Arrangement pits 10 talented designers against each other in a series of over-the-top challenges that demand using flowers in entirely unexpected ways. From naked models, to drag queens, to Smart Cars, each challenge will be more fiercely outrageous than the last.
Eric Buterbaugh will serve as head judge. Buterbaugh has the reputation as “America’s premier floral designer” with his highly sought-after establishment at the prestigious Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. His celebrity client list ranges from Oprah Winfrey, Madonna, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, the President of the United States to the Queen of England (the only American to design for Her Majesty).
In addition, renowned screenwriter and The New York Times best-selling author, Gigi Levangie Grazer, will host The Arrangement and participate as one of the judges. Grazer’s Hollywood insider know-how from screenwriting Stepmom (starring Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts) and A-list success with her best-selling novels (The Starter Wife, Queen Takes King) offers her the talent and eye to decide what Hollywood wants in a prized floral designer.
Each weekly challenge will offer a celebrity guest judge to help Eric and Gigi decide which contestant will be eliminated. This season will feature appearances by Nancy O’Dell, Antonio Sabato Jr., Omarosa, RuPaul, Nick Verreos, Traver Rains, Shanna Moakler, Tatiana Byron, and LaLa Vasquez.
Judged on their artistry, resourcefulness, and execution, contestants will flex their muscle to “mow down” the competition. In the end, only one contestant will be crowned “America’s Best Floral Designer ” and win a prize package of a Smart Fortwo Passion Coupe and $25,000.
The 10 contestants set to face off on The Arrangement are: Anil Pacheco (Orange County, CA), Bonnie Kim (Los Angeles, CA), Derek Woodruff (Traverse City, MI), Eddie Zaratsian (Los Angeles, CA), Gloria Baker (Chicago, IL), Guillermo Del Pero (Pasadena, CA), Jenny Barker (Redondo Beach, CA), Russ Phillip (Chicago, IL), Tara Cottrell (Pasadena, CA), Tenley Young (Burbank, CA).
