I enjoyed the first episode. I agree that it showed real-world issues that CosPlayers have, and with Dragon Con coming up, I certainly identified with the last-minute stress. It was also great to see D&D get some positive face time on TV for a change.
The only thing that bothered me a bit was Yaya being a judge of the contests. I was concerned whether having cast members as judges and competitors would affect the perception of the integrity of the contests. I was encouraged when non-cast members won, but I wonder if even the possibility of outside influence might leave hard feelings with other competitors.
