I agree with Alice on this one, you spill any kind of liquid on that floor and it's going to be ugly in a few days.
And she cracked me up the way she said ..."That's bad, that's bad." I had to rewind it and watch it again. She looked kind of possessed.

I didn't like David's room this week. I don't like feeling closed in. My favorite apt was Alice's. And I actually liked Temple's room better than Tym's.

I agree Ramsfan, it was funny. Alice reminded me of someone that was slowly being made to go insane in an old movie.

Not sad to see Temple leave.

I was quite surprised that Alice seemed to outshine them all this week. I liked her room a lot.

Not a fan of Tym and his design style. His room looked cold and uncomfortable to me.

David needs to get it together this week. His design was OK, but I agree with the judge that said it would have been better to put the bedroom behind the short wall for a sense of privacy and not close off the living room. He did good job with the color red and how he used it througout the room.

I caught up on this because of your thread, love this show.

I was also surprised by Alice on the test run TV show and her style. It was very good on both aspects.

I thought David was the shoe in until I saw her in action.

I finally caught the marathon and this week's show. It was driving me crazy, but I finally figured out what other show that Ramona woman (the trippy chick that made "art" out of a vacuum and was the first to go) was on. It was "Style Me with Rachel Hunter". She was one of the talentless "stylists" RH was choosing from on the Style Network a while back. At least I am pretty sure that is the one she was on. She was on one of those obscure shows, anyhow. She's not very forgettable!

Ramona has also been on WifeSwap. When I saw the first show I knew I had seen her before also. So I went and checked on the Wife Swap site and she had been on.

Maybe THAT's it, Dar - thank you!!! I watch just about any reality show they throw at me, so I do get them confused. Must've been another "interesting" person I was thinking of from "Style Me.". Wife Swap...makes sense!

Thanks again!!

I am happy with the final two, David and Alice. They both did a great job with their rooms. I completely agree with the judges that Tym's room was way to masculine for his client. All of his rooms have been that way though. I think he should just design for men.

Tym’s room, to me, didn’t look like he spent $10,000 on it. Alice’s and David’s rooms both looked like they did. Maybe it’s just because you get more for your money where they were as opposed to Tym being in New York.

Anyway, up to this point, I still like David the best even if he seems a little nervous on camera. He did much better this week. I think he will become a really good TV person with a little more practice.

Let me add that I did feel a bit sorry for Tym and the carpenter he got stuck with. Where did HGTV get their help from? In all of New York, this was the best they could do?

I'm happy w/the F2 as well. David's room was creative and functional -- more creative than the other two IMHO. He's my pick for winner, but Alice is very comfortable on screen and would do a good job as well.

I finally caught this, thx Ladyt! I loved it too, can't believe I missed most of the season. I felt bad for Tim also.

I just watched the marathon of this show. Very satisfying to see all of them in one swoop.

David is my choice for winner. The job he did on the room with pet store finds was the best of this show. He is an artist and it shows.

I didn't like any of the rooms in the final 3 comp. They looked very amaturish. Everyone lacked color and did not look professional. Too much brown and tan. Where was the spark?

I like the final 2 but I felt it was a bit unfair. Besides the difference in carpenters, just the difference in cost and buying stuff in New York. I felt like no doubt Tym was out.

The last few weeks Tym had great designs & a relaxed manner in front of the camera. Do you think that TPTB sabotaged him on purpose?

I think Tym is out because, as the judges said, they always like his room better after he explains it. The are too stark and do not stand on their own.

He had the smallest space and it looked bare compared to the other two rooms, quite dramatically so. The carpenter had nothing to do with Tym's choice of a masculine, sparse apartment with no art on the walls.

I don't think it was intentional, but I just don't think it was a fair playing ground. I also didn't personally think it was too masculine, all a matter of opinion. To say the carpenter had nothing to with a sparse apt. and no art on the walls...how do you know this? Maybe he had plans for stuff to be built or put together, that he was expecting the carpenters help on, it is a possiblity that that played into it as much as it is a possiblity it didn't matter, I don't think one can be ruled out.

I'm happy with the final two. I, personally, thought Tym should have been gone last week. I like both the remaining designers in different ways. It would be hard for me to make a choice.

I was lol'g at the problems David had with trying to put those chairs together. I loved the sofa and cushions in the girls room, can't think of her name right now.

Tym wasn't without a carpenter for long -- a new one replaced the one Tym "fired."

Yes, that was the way it appeared, because it was that way or edited that way?

Good question, but I would think because it WAS that way --otherwise it would open up the opportunity for Tym to cry "foul." And yes, I put my rose-colored glasses on when I watch any and all reality tv shows.

I tend to watch that way as well. I am not saying it is was rigged, certainly nothing that I had proof on. I also think he was next in line to go no matter. But, I do stand by the fact that it did seem unfair to me from the get go. Just something to think about. I think it seems like no big deal, cause most were ready for him to go.
