It is fascinating how humans continue to find creative ways to be expressive and artistic. I love that about us. Love CBS Sunday Morning for sharing stories like this!
I have been addicted to china, silverware patterns, glassware, & tableclothes for 40 years & nothing can top planning & decorating a 6 place setting table. So I am so glad to find out I am not alone.
It's fun, it's pretty cut throat, and takes a lot of planing, and creativity. Been doing it for 6 years. I didn't win this year, but I had fun doing it. Mine was the LOTR.
This reminds me of my childhood where we set the table every night for dinner (my brother and I hated having to do it). Something that doesn't happen a lot these days unfortunately.
*All that having the correct pieces & measuring for placement would get on my nerves with a quickness but the idea of themed tables/meals seems like it would be fun.* 🤷🏼♀️

WHY!?!? Competitive table setting … where no on eats at the table. I suppose similar things can be said about most other hobby or leisure activity, and they're not hurting anyone, but so much human time and effort applied toward what?!?!
I’m calling BS, on the judges’ opinion, that napkin should be turned around the other way! It’s the design of the contestant, and the napkin placement should be what they’ve decided it should be!
@MsSunhappy You use it also. And yes I can condemn their hobby. It is silly, wasteful in the resources to produce it, shipping and disposal. It provides nothing more than unnecessary consumerism.
I guess this is great and all that. Why are you wasting so much time and money on stupid, when you could be helpful down town at the soup kitchen.Where the homeless including children are setting down at a table not as pretty just needing something to eat. Stuff like this just burns me up. So disconnected 🤦
Table manners I'm all for. But the more I watch this, the more I'm loving Asian "tablescaping". All I 'THINK' they need are, the foods being served, your plate to eat and "TWO STICKS" a.k.a chopsticks. and maybe a cup for drinking. EVERYTHING else is USELESS.
All nice but the real people in this country the working people they dont have the money for this nonsense. Its down to basic survival now. Most of us out here in the real world, can't afford pretty unnecessary material items after they pay their rent or mortgages and purchase food and household items.

I thought that episode of Bob's Burgers was hilarious but didn't realize they were poking fun at a competition that actually exists!!
OMG me too!
Same!
Me too!! That’s what brought me here!

Yours was my fav! I recognized the white tree of Gondor instantly! 👍😁
@@heathrichey1670 thanks
I would pay good money for this type of creativity for a wedding, milestone birthday party, etc. I'm sure you enjoy doing this. It is spectacular 😍
Yours was my favorite!!❤
@@healinggrounds19 Thanks , and hey, I too am a RHPS veteran. I was in the the first "shadow" cast in Los Angeles, a LONG tome ago
That's an interesting type of competition. I didn't know they had college professors for dining placement. Learn something new every day.
My daughter got 4th place in this category at the state fair. She did a Narnia themed table and had so much fun!
Oooh! I want to find a tablescaping competition in my area.
This reminds me of my childhood where we set the table every night for dinner (my brother and I hated having to do it). Something that doesn't happen a lot these days unfortunately.
I loved this! So fun, funny and joyful! I bet me any sisters could ROCK this competition
I wish they did this at our county fair.
Why not ask to have it included?
A wonderful new thing to learn about this Thursday. Leaves me wanting to know more about Tablescaping.
Leaves me wondering why this is a "thing." I understand people who collect washing machines more than I understand this hobby.
Love it. I didn’t know they have a contest for it though.
I remember when Gene Belcher was in a similar competition.
Ready? Set? Set!
Yes !
What a great hobby, who knew.
I love it!!!🍽🍴
This looks like fun. 🙂
Nice comments are, well, so nice to see.
So correct table setting underlies the whole judging process.
I wanna see these ladies react to the Bob's burgers episode on Gene tabling 😋
Who else wants to do this... besides me!?!?! Lol
Me!
Me too
I am LOVING this!!! I never knew this kind of competition existed. I’m taking notes 📝. Thank you for sharing 😊
Working at convention hotels, you see a lot. If you can think of something to be competitive at, you can bet there's a convention for it.
So fun and creative.
What do they win, and how much does it cost to enter?

Only in America.
Oh no. This is in Europe too.
Companionship brings people together.....
That is so true.
So does a prison cell. Should more people commit felons??

@@blackdogslivesmatter1568 sex in PRISON is outstanding
Best in Show 🤣
Of stupidity 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
@@DASands1 It's not a contest about you, so...
Did that lady compare making a table to giving birth to a baby?
I like it
would be fun to see something really creative!!!
plein aire they do seem rather stifled

This is actually a thing?? 😱
Bonnie is Alabama
Who new this was a thing.
Housewives with too much time in thier hands
Why? A bunch of crap to end up in landfill.
@MsSunhappy Our need of having fun, comes at the expense of our planet.

Humans🤦🏻♀️
I know right? some of them just seem to hate things without any good reason why.
Damn that lady in the red Seams unhappy with her position 👀
I bet Corky St.Clair (Christopher Guest) from Waiting For Guffman could beat bonnie!
🤣😂🤣🤣😭💗💖💕 who knew.

18 losing contestants, clicked the dislike button.
Any contestants from India or Asian immigrants?
Not this year
Do all the setting have to be European inspired. Different cultures set tables differently. Asain, anyone?
Haunted Mansion was ugly
The tables look tacky. Nobody ever ate on tables like that.
Table manners I'm all for.

Yes I totally agree.
Go bchhh
I can't believe this is a thing. It's pretty dumb.... 😂🤣😂
