The rooms last night were just okay. The guys who had Hildi do their room were very gracious. They admitted that they did not like it at first, but really did not claim they changed their minds either.

I didn't care for the curtains or floresent lights (ugh) and I did think that sharing that tiny desk would not work, despite the pull out extention. The quarters were too close.

Jen's was fine.

Laurie was asked why she does a lot of yellow rooms. She said that it was a color she favored but, more importantly, it looks better on TV. She said her own house was neutral but that doesnt work well for TS. You have to have a larger budget for furniture and accessories to pull that off and make it look like you have made a difference.

If this show is going to survive another season, which I doubt, they have to up the budget to $2000 and have the bonus room 3 to 5 k.

I think they need to get Paige back also if they're gonna last.

Both rooms were ok to me but I think Hildi's room was too small for a living area and 2 workstations. But I liked the lil furniture area and the colors were nice. Gen's room was nice and shame they had to give the chairs back lol.

I don't think they are too concerned about it lasting. ;)

I liked the colors in Hildi's room also.

This was popular show for so long I can't believe they wouldn't wish for it to pick up again. Networks hate to lose the money makers.

I liked Paige and it was a mistake to let her go. She was the glue.

A couple of real designers, a host and bigger budget is needed. Oh, and they need to dump Faber and Christy. They get on my nerves.

What???? Heresy against my beloved Faber??? LOL I adore him for two reasons: 1st -- his woodwork is gorgeous and he knows how to bring out the beauty in the grain rather than just painting over everything. I'd love to see his furniture that he builds when he has longer than 2 days to spend on it. 2nd -- the man looks HOT in a kilt! LOL When he was on the castles edition, I would have been happy just to have a camera on Faber the entire time! LOL

Well, good. I am one less person in your way to his heart.

My problem is not with his skills. I don't like his personality.

:-) Personality???? I've got to get past looking at his knees in the kilt first! LOL (and one less opponent is never a bad idea -- anyone I can get out of your way for??? You know, return the Faber, er, favor? :-)) ****d&r***

A good episode. Although, have you ever seen two pairs of guys try harder to make sure we know they are straight? "Methinks" I have not.

Oh no, Faber doesn't need to go anywhere! Knees or no knees.

Excellent room by Doug last night. Loved Carter's wall unit. Frank's room was ok too. It was kool how the two ex's stayed friends and were on this show together.

I missed that they had met on the internet.

This is a first for me; I liked Christy's room and not Edwards. I knew he was headed down the wrong path immediately. This rad little chatter box did not strike me as the 1930's film type. She talked about liking color, detested pale walls and wanted a youthful design for the surfers room. That says she wanted youthful for herself too. Edward did not do his homework or listen carefully. I didn't like the room either.

The surfers room was good. I was leery of the paint by numbers wall but I liked it, another first. I hate murals. The ink blot pillows worked but I have no idea why.

The ceiling was low because it was a crumby little beach cottage that was turned into a year round rental at some point, long ago. Just shoddy construction.

I was not impressed with either of them. They are young and will grow up in a few years.

Chatterbox made me want to run for the duct tape! :-) I was surprised to see Edward miss the mark by so much. I usually love his rooms, but he didn't seem to have a clue on this one. Young Guy seemed nice, so I'm glad he was pleased w/his room. You're right, though, Fruitbat -- very shoddy construction!

All the designers have limits to their design imagination. He was just the wrong match for these kids. Hildi or Doug would have given her something she adored.

Lol yall. I liked both rooms and for once liked a Christi room lol. But I agree Edward's room wasn't for her. I want those padded doors though. The paint by numbers turned out better than I thought too.

I just saw that Vern is one of the judges on a new HGTV designer contest show.
