most of it just seems like typical reality show type stuff, adding drama for the sake of the show-- like a costume that wasn't finished and the girl was freaking out over had actually been finished for months; and cosplayers who were shown to not know each other outside of the competitive arena are actually friends, etc. There was a lot of drama apparently because the show used some professional photos of cosplayers without the photographer's consent on facebook, and even removed the watermarks (which I TOTALLY understand, that is nonsense).
But then a lot of the dislike of the show (that I've seen so far) seems to stem from people's dislike of Yaya Han, who like all celebrities (especially of the internet variety) has a huge base of haters. I've met her before and found her to be sweet, but honestly even if she IS a huge bitch that doesn't necessarily make the show bad.
Also a lot of these negative comments I read about the show bring up Yaya's breast augmentation, which makes their argument void.

Anyway a lot of serious cosplayers are saying it just casts a really negative light on the hobby, but I didn't really get that feeling.

Well, it doesn't make cosplayers look particularly mature, I'll give them that. It's a reality show. I think they want as many of their participants as possible to come off as completely immature.
