Well, no. I wouldn't buy either magazine. Nor would I watch either one on any Early Show segments (since I never EVER watch that show). I may have caught a show or two, if Mitch had his own show. But I sure am not interested in supporting Kimberly at all. Nor am I interested in any future seasons of this show. Unless they quit the popularity thing. And yeah, Ali. I'm gonna go complain. But I'd bet they covered their butts with lots of paperwork.

LOL Alisons, I left feedback on the CBS site as well. Personally I wouldn't buy either Mitch's or Kimberly's magazines, just not into that type of magazine. But if Mitch had a show I would watch. Not Kimberly though...I think my ideas would be just as creative as her's (and that's not saying much!!)

I did the CBS feedback .. not that it will help. This was a disgusting way to end the show.

Apologies to all prev posters...I havent read the whole thread and these comments may have already been made. Kimberley FAILED to impress the judges with her ribbon roses. Frankly they look CHEAP, childish and were the reason she was on the block three times. (well, that and her choice to use blah brown as a colourchoice) There is NO WAY that they would have had no complaints about her lackluster performance during the Early show spot. She was wearing sloppy JEANS for petes sake. Others were critized for what they wore...but not Kimberley? Anyways, the final party comp was questionable as well. Anyone besides me notice that Kimberley was way overspending in each area?? For some things, like Bar, she was at least 2000$ more than Mitch. How did Mitch end up barely under budget yet Kimberley wasnt OVERbudget?? I just dont believe it. The final straw for me was the judges bickering about who won the party. Kimberley had a crummy mag cover/sign, crummy food, clumsy seating (square seats where people are sitting side to side or back to back) and a nervous 'I'm out of my element' way about her when talking to guests. Mitch had a rather bizarre setup. A little TOO red for my tastes, yet modern and funky. Liked the use of arrows on the floor and lots of little tables for people to visit at. Food was Excellent, he was hospitable and easygoing with everyone (even staff). Considering the entire show competitions and this final party I dont see how Kimb. won. Bobby Flay should have been mercilous considering the crummy food. SIGH!! I agree with your theory that the voted off people would have ALL voted for Mitch...maybe even Dawn.

Darn I didn't realize it was the finale as well and only taped for an hour! I wish Darlene had won the whole thing.

I saw Gene Simmons too. I found it odd that he was there and not mentioned. At first I thought maybe other celebs would be there and help determine the winner, but they never said a word about him.

Well everyone seemed to be bad mouthing Kimberly. I thought she had a very down to earth attitude. To me, Mitch was too into himself and he just thought he was the best. I did not like that man at all. The only thing that did not mind of Mitch's was probably his magazine cover, I actually thought that it was better than Kim's

I am so not a conspiracy theorists but in this case I’m feeling a fix was in. I never would have thought that Kimberly would win this thing. Darlene or Denise were my favorites since the show started. I think Mitch didn’t win because he lied about that wrought iron table and Kim won by default otherwise the fix was in. I hope some PTB saw either Darlene of Denise and is willing to work with them. I’m a big Food Network fan and other household tips shows. I’d never watch Kimberly. As for Mitch he's such a diva and needs to tone down his self love.

Just watched Kimberly share her "wisdom" with the CBS Morning Show viewers on how to make an invitation. Come on, anyone who does scrapbooking could do what she was suggesting and do it better. There was nothing creative nor spectacular about it. If this is how all her "segments" will be I won't watch any more. How pathetic to waste prime viewing time with this dribble!

Some interesting commentary on the outcome on Reality News Online. I think it sums up what a lot of us are feeling/thinking/posting.

Cdbga, thanks for the link! That was a good article. I think it express everything we have been posting, except the possibility of the end being intentionally fixed.

Thanks Cdbga! I particularly agree with this (from that article): >>I think two people were qualified to win this show in the end: Darlene and Mitch. However, Darlene never even had a chance to compete in the finale. Why? Was it because she screwed up a challenge? No, that was Heather, who at least got to have a screen test (which she similarly screwed up). Darlene completely carried her team in the challenge of turning a lot into a park. Her specialty was decorative sewing, but she wielded power tools like a pro and created a picnic table and pagoda from scratch. Unfortunately, her team lost – again, not her fault. But because she spent so much time on the group project, she did not focus as much on the individual project. Heather, who only contributed problems to the group, created a round topiary. Yeah, that about sums up her creative ability. But the judges thought it the best of the three...<<

I'm with y'all 100%. I've always wondered since episode one why Candace was a judge. She very rarely had anything nice to say and was a constant whiner and complainer.

The most laughable part about this whole Kimberly win thing is that she explained how to make a 4 yr old project by pulling the wired ribbon's wire out and rolling around and fasten it to something that's already made. I was LOL watching Saturday night, thinking, "Kimberly, you're just too much!" Trying to push those stupid ribbon roses that don't really look like a flower (much) to begin with. But the joke's on me...now they're gonna create a whole show around her because she looked good on camera! I wish I knew how to contact CBS. Boy, I'd let 'em have it right now.

I mean to say a project a 4 yr old can do in the above post.

When they announced who won; my mouth fell open and it stayed that way. I liked Kim's loft decor. I didn't like Mitch's creepy smile/smirk.

I did agree as far as decorations were concerned. Mitch's didn't have a obvious focal point (unless you consider the kitchen door) and the colors were very valentiney. I really want to know what Kimberly showed them WHY they picked her. Evidently she has got some kinda talents that we just haven't seen.

Kimmy, go here and scroll down to see info on how to send feedback to CBS. Several of us already have. And it appears that most of us have said similar things to the RNO article!

That is an excellent article. I agree that Mitch showed an ego about the size of California. But he was consistently one of the two strongest contestants throughout the entire length of the series (the other being Darlene). It clearly demonstrates how much emphasis that they put on image over substance. Kimberley did perform well in her screen test, but her performance throughout the course of the series was mediocre at best. Mitch’s screen test was very good as well but he also performed so much better and consistently in every other respect. Simply an unbelievable result. Admittedly, Candace was a lost cause, but I can’t imagine what Flay’s reasoning was for doing this.

Just a thought: weren't the two male judges on CBS' payroll? If so, how could they be objective? Maybe their jobs were riding on making a decision CBS wanted them to make. After all, Bobby Flay has to eat too! (no pun intended) CBS should have judges that had absolutely no ties to CBS; it's called Independent Judges. I'm sure there are many qualified people available.

I forgot who suggested that instead of one day with help, that the contestants have a week-with no help at all, to pull this party off. That I would have liked to seen!!!! Also a poll of the actual party-goers would have been good too.

CBS was totally stupid about this whole show - just think about it - they KNEW who the winner was before they aired episode one. HOW DUMB do you have to be to edit the show the way they did given that Kimberly was the winner? It was like the editor thought that Mitch or Darlene should have won also and deliberately edited the program that way. They could have cut a lot of the damaging things about Kimberly and we never would have known. This whole thing is just bizarre.
