Design Star on HGTV!

Anyone watching the new season??

Loves it. Kind of early to have a favorite at this point, but I love "sparkle" Josh. Robb is an ass, and Neeraja (sp?) bothers me. I liked Lisa, but her "design" last week was horrible.

I know Paula's watching, too. Where are you?

skcin · #3 08-01-2007, 01:04 PM

You know me too well Krista.

Yes. Loving it. Not thrilled that punky edgy chick is gone already, but her design did suck, so I understand. I would have rather one of the pillow boys get the boot.

Sparkle Josh is a f*cking riot. I like Kim too, as well as Sparkle Josh's partner this past ep. Skater dude annoys me. Naraja's drawn on eyebrows freak me out.

I loves me some Todd.

^^ What was up with those pillows?

Skater Dude bugs me too. Though he does look good with his shirt off.

Thank You!

I am so glad Neeraja's gone. I know I would be pissed if someone left tile undone in my kitchen. I think Organic Josh had potential, but he just let Robb and Todd run away with the design plan, so I can understand while he got booted.

Sparkle Josh is my favorite.

I think Kim will go soon if she doesn't come up with something amazing. Robb is incredibly annoying and will be among the next to leave. Todd is quite abrasive, but he's a damn good carpenter.

Todd could be my Silver Springs.

Are you guys still watching?

Even though Josh's room was subpar, I am glad he gets to stick around for another week. I am not too fond of this double elimination. I felt Adrianna has great potential and would have liked to see her stay.

Early prediction for final two: Todd and Christina

^ I know! WTF is with them dumping 2 every ep? They'll be down to the final 4 next week already.

I thought this week was toughest as far as deciding who should go - nobody f*cked it up badly. Scott did have too much crap in his room, so I understand that one. Adriana - too little crap.

I thought they'd hate Kim's, even though I liked it. I wasn't a big fan of Robb's, tbqh. The rest were good, I think I liked Will & Christina's best. My pick for top 2? Will & Christina. I don't think Todd will be able to calm it down enough to make it to the finals.

So, what rooms were your favorites? Least fave? What did you like/dislike about them?

GypsySorcerer · #13 08-14-2007, 01:46 PM

I'm not BW, but I am answering anyway.

Todd --- As Cynthia said, who looks at that room and sees that? Very, very creative. The blues were beautiful.

Robb --- Not my taste, but original. Bold with a strong focal point on the back wall.

Christina --- I love black and red, so I am biased. Liked the sleek design and the "flooring" of construction paper.

Will --- Cohesive design. I liked the black wall hangings.

Josh --- I liked what he did with the gift bags, but I hated the compacts art.

Kim --- Her table was very cool. Not impressed with the paper plate decor. Too grade school art class.

Scott --- Wayyyyyyyy overboard.

Adrianna --- Nothing really stood out for me. Based on her work from previous episodes, I was sorry to see her go.

I thought Robb, Todd & Christina were the strongest by far.
Those three I thought were just so creative and inventive by far.
I loved the cross on the back wall extending to the couch. I think
Christina has alot of talent. I was actually impressed with everyone
last night for the most part. I wasn't crazy about the sparkle guy or the Santa Barbara room..it did look oddly like a store display. Todd was outside
the box. Overall - lots of talent in this cast. I think Adrianna had potential..sad to see her go.

I agree with Krista about Kim's paper plates. I can't believe Vern liked them. Barf. Other than that, the room was great.

I honestly don't think Robb's all that talented. Plus, he's a dick so I hope he leaves soon.

I had a good feeling about Christina from the very start, and I've been pleased with her work so far. Red & black seemed really safe to me, even though I liked it - I didn't think the judges would.

Todd's room was, of course, the most creative. But I don't know if he can do a "safe" room. I mean, if they redo someone's bedroom, will he glue their bed to the ceiling?

Sure, it's cool to look at, but not at all practical.

Josh - yeah, that compact mirror frame was hideous. Other than that, liked the room. I have a feeling he's afraid to go too nuts with the bling, worried they'll think he's gone to far.

Will - consistently my favorite. Loved the lampshades (never would have known they were Easter baskets, lol.)
