Last week’s episode concluded with the offed Sucklord quoting the original Star Wars: “if you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.” While the vow itself is moot, Work of Art has now lost its most reliable font of comic relief. In the wake, chaos.

Work of Art didn't suck this week. The challenge, street art, was acceptable, the guest judge, Lee Quinones, was fitting, and the show's decision to pair up the artists in teams of two meant that there was ample time to actually show each work. What's more, we had an entire episode without a single teary recollection, which meant there was a bunch of space that Bravo was forced to fill with an interesting but well-explained change in the personality of a character.

Is there anything Bravo could possible do to improve upon Work of Art’s premier season? The mind reals with that thought, but if the first episode is any indication (and it almost never is), Bravo’s challenges may exhibit a little more ingenuity than the previous season.
