Jon got my vote. His design was terrific. I loved him and his wife on Home Free...... adorable.

Anyone see Regis & Kelly? Vern is on and I missed most of what Regis said, but I think he said something about Vern having a show on NBC???

Scroll up, you've asked this before lol.

Jon had an unfair advantage imo and this was discussed on the ts msg board too. They should've just given him the damn job. This reminds me of the xtra chance Rupert had to win Survivor and in the end they just had to cut him a check.

Thanks Mocha, but even that article says:

The NBC staff did not know when the pilot show might be filmed or aired and would not even say it definitely would include a home in Atlanta.

So I just wanna know when Vern's show will air.

See,now Mocha,I agree. I was under the impression they had given Jon a job in some capacity after Home Free.
He has the advantage of being familiar to the viewers all ready. And,that ain't fair.

Hip, as well as the fact he actually worked on 3 rooms on ts so was familiar with the format. that's usually what can mess things up with new designers, either the budget or time issue. so he had a huge advantage.

I don't think he had an unfair advantage. He wasn't the designer on those shows (and if you recall there weren't budget restraints on the later shows), he doesn't have a "home interior" background (unlike the other contestants), and IMO his room truly was the most beautiful. (What is with designers and chocolate brown anyway? I don't want a chocolate brown room!) I wouldn't have voted for him if I had thought the other designers had done a better job simply because of his lack of a designing background.

The thing that he did that I truly liked was he acknowledged the hard work of his team - it was "I created this room," - it was "My team worked hard to create this room."

And he got it done in less time than on Trading Spaces.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, sorry if it has:

http://tlc.discovery.com/fansites/apply/movingup.html (hope the link works):

Moving to a New Home?


Does your new home have a shocking style that you need to change right away? Or are you leaving a home that's been decorated with your own one-of-a kind style? Live in or near Boston, Providence, New London, NYC, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore or D.C.? Then TLC wants you for Doug Wilson's new show on moving and redecorating.

Doug Wilson will be following families as they move and redecorate their new homes. We will not be doing the makeover for you, but documenting what you do to make your new house a home. Then after a few months we will ask the former home owners back to see what they make of the changes.

Actually the homeowners were the designers on that home free series. They did have a bigger budget but a budget none the less and him being on the show previously does give an unfair advantage with viewers who are making the choice. No he doesn't 'officially' have the job yet but I don't care for him either. The room was ok though.

I think it has to do with the sunglasses glued to the top of his head. I just want knock them off for some reason.

I think he has a HUGE advantage and will be very surprised if he doesn't win. He's already well known as the regular viewers have seen him 4? times now.

I hardly watch the show anymore. Whenever I do tune in it's never designers I like. Plus with Ty gone...

I really don't think he has the advantage just because viewers have seen him before. His room was the best out of all three, in my opinion anyway. I think TS viewers should get more credit than that.

I didn't like Jon on Home Free and I won't like him on Trading Spaces.

I voted for the guy that wasn't Jon. I can't remember his name. It was the Black guy. I thought he was fun and did a pretty good job on the room he did.

I think his name is Scott. I was torn between him and Eric. I ended up voting Eric. I liked Scott's personality better,but Eric's design better.

I like Jon and voted for him. I think he'd be a lot of fun on the show, as you'd never know what he'd come up with..LOL
I'll have to say that I would have voted for Jon without the show..so I agree it probably wasn't fair for the other designers. They were good, but I remember the creativity of Jon.

I haven't watched this show in ages but the new promos promise big changes. Will the changes be big enough for me to watch again is still a question I have.

I have tired of the format and particularly the shock value some designers cherish.

New decorators? COOL. I will keep my eye peeled for the start of this new season.

I am into Debbie Travis and Candice Olsen on Divine Design lately. They do stunningly beautiful work.

Well,Jon won of course. I recognized his house before Paige even knocked on his door to tell him.
