I'm underwhelmed with this show. I remember feeling the same way during the first few espisodes of Runway, so maybe all they need is to weed out the losers and get down to the talented ones. Regardless, I have a few comments:

*The guest judge and Michael (the flamiest of the flames) look like they could be brother and sister. They also look like they could eat corn on the cob through a picket fence. Anyway, I predict Michael is gone next week

*The huge testosterone injection made up for SOME of John's shortcomings last week, but it's all excuses with him. I think he deserved to go, and I really didn't like his room.

*Did anyone notice that Goil guy doing a little curtsey (courtsey, curtsie? whatever...) when he was being judged? So lame. And WTF was up with the random stuff on the floor? A big novelty red pepper? Umm...no.

*That short brunette with the glasses who did the jungle room is an early standout to me. Hopefully she makes it pretty far.

*I love the judge who looks like Diane Von Furstenberg's younger sister. Like my girl Nina Garcia, she works at Elle. Being a hardnosed bitch must be a requirement for all Elle applicants?

I hate to say it, but I'm the same way. It's...meh.

what the hell has happened to Alexis Arquette?! lol. Todd Oldham is annoying, but he seems really nice. and, for some reason, I remembered him looking much better than this. and editor-in-chief homegirl is a biotch and needs La Mer stat. oh, and, Mr. I have a wife and a daughter

I bet he is the first to hook up with one of the male roommates.

I will, however, be needing a couple of those carpenters over at my house asap.

pop your coochie. teehee.

TO looks very scary. I didn't know he was such a snaggletooth. And his "look at me, I'm a trendy cools design guy" outfits are hideous.

And my gaydar alarm was blaring whith "my wife & kid" guy too. It was saying "HhhhhhoooooooooooooooooMMMMmmmmoooooooooooooo!"

Yeah, for all the money they're given, it's been very bland. I've seen nicer rooms on Trading Spaces. And While You Were Out. And Designed To Sell. And.....

I was on the Ledge and 1/2 listening most of the time - did they ever show the kids seeing the rooms?

I know, it's unnerving. Do you think he talks that way in real life? Like, at home?

And the kids all seemed to like the rooms - especially Pirate room kid. ****, I would like that room! A coworker & I were discussing - I hope they actually give the kids the room. Wouldn't that suck? "Hey, I designed this for you. Not for reals, though. You can come & look at it once for the cameras, after that it's all going in the dumpster."

* I hate Michael. I want to hit him in the face. Really hard. "This is the most work I've ever done!" No ****, Mary. I'm shocked.

* I would have liked for John to stay, he would have kept things interesting as far as getting along with no one. Drama.

* Missed Goil's curtsy. I liked the room, but it was hilarious when the judge said "that wasn't a good hiding spot, since there was no door on it." LOL! And stop with the bell peppers - he used one week 1 also, and I'm shocked the judges didn't mention it. Please, don't let it become his signature.

* Cas-something. I like her too. Quirky & fresh without being totally whacked. For now, anyway....

* That judge is pretty much the only reason I'm watching. She is mean. I love her. As I previously posted, I've named her Bitchy McBitch.

I generally agreed with the judges this week, but I would have sent Michael home. Not that John's room screamed "10 year old kid" but Michael's was just so bad. Anyone else literally uncomfortable during the judging process? When they come around room to room? I's like they're making rounds at a hospital or going to a wake. Painful. Nobody looks remotely comfortable or excited - judges included.

Design Star on HGTV was miles better than this. But I'll probably watch it anyway, because that's what I do. I think Goil or that Cas girl will win.

Here's a link to the website, you can read blogs & review the rooms. If anyone cares:

I guess. she annoys me though. and I hate Nina.

I guess it's the "rebel against authority" in me.
