Since Blown Away Season 3 just came out on Netflix, we think this is the best time to rank the best Blown Away contestants who have participated in the reality show so far. Regardless of their success in the show, and since there was controversy about who deserved the prize, especially in Season 1, we have listed the best Blown Away contestants according to their art. If you are ready, let’s get started!
K. Momoko “Momo” Schafer

Janusz Poźniak
Janusz Poźniak
Janusz Poźniak is a veteran glass artist who has had the opportunity to work with renowned glass artists and teach many people around the world throughout his career. He loves to create extraordinary vases that you can buy on his personal website and decorate with your favorite flower. The artist participated in Season 1 of Blown Away and was a fan favorite. Nevertheless, he wasn’t able to win against Deborah Czeresko.
Deborah Czeresko
Deborah Czeresko
Deborah Czeresko is a glass artist from New York City who won in the first season of Blown Away. She is best known for her works that reflect food, art history, gender, and her experiences as a queer artist. Through her art, she challenges social norms and points to gender politics. Blown Away viewers know her for talking much about feminism and gender issues on the show. Moreover, her victory caused controversy among the fans of the show, as they believed that the judges made her the winner because of her feminist discourse.
Alexander Rosenberg
Alexander Rosenberg
Alexander Rosenberg is an artist, educator and writer from Philadelphia who currently teaches at Salem Community College. The artist first appeared in Season 1 of Blown Away and placed 3rd. He then participated again in Blown Away: Christmas and again placed 3rd out of 5 contestants.
Andi Kovel
Andi Kovel
Andi Kovel participated in Blown Away Season 2 and placed 5th. Then participated in Blown Away: Christmas where she brought up the rear. In the last 20 years, Andi Kovel has gained international renown, most notably for being included in Time Magazine’s “Design 100”, the most influential and inspired international designers. However, we feel that Kovel paled in comparison to the other Blown Away participants, as her art wasn’t as inspiring as the others.
