Yet another reality show contest. But if you're a whore for home improvement/design/redecorating shows like I am, you may want to check this out:

Premieres this Sunday 9/23 @ 9pm on HGTV.

Oooh! Vern Yip (formerly of Trading Spaces) is one of the judges! Along with Cynthia Rowley & some other broad.

Poor Alice - she had to design a room in Larry Flint's Hustler Club.

And I'll bet Ramona's out real quick.

Anyone catch the premiere? Boy was I right about Ramona. I'm all for originality, but painting another contestant's body on the wall even though she asked you not too? tacky. And how is a vacuum cleaner with plaster on it a sculpture?

I liked the outdoor space best, and the bedrooms were clean & trendy too.

So far, I'm bored. I'm no interior designer, but some of the things they're doing are uninspired and just plain ugly.

Jill, I don't know if you've watched yet, so I won't spoil anything else. But IMO on the second show the bedroom was fantastic & the other rooms blew.

Vern seems annoyed.

Isn't this the same show starting on Bravo at the end of January? I never watched it on HGTV. Was Todd Oldham the host?

the one on bravo is called top design, isn't it? they must've done market testing and found that "top ____" plays well with people.

Think of Bravo's core audience. They/we/I love it. I'll be watching!

I know and do you see how they've pretty much made her the "star" - now SHE's in the middle of all the broads on the previews.
