LOL! If you think that SUV is a "monster", you would feel Lilliputian in my garage - My Tahoe (pretty much same size as their SUV) is the "small" vehicle in our family of cars!

LOL I agree, Twinks!! It was more than his time to go. I also hate these team challenges. I'd really rather see individual ones. What a load of crap they had to deal with and get it all done in such a short time. Ick!

Definitely, it was Ryan's time to go. His attitude just got on my last nerve (his enflated sense of superiority really needed to get whacked down a step or two or nineteen!). LOL @ Spoton... I drive a sporty car. Tahoe's (my dad owns one) are gigantic. Anything that has the letters "S" or "U" or "V" in it is just too big for me. (Totally off topic, it was hysterical to see my dad and his wife driving one of my Saturns -- the ONLY vehicles they drive are extended bed vans or Tahoes or RVs! Annie said she hated being looked down upon by all the SUVers on the road! HAHAHA!)

It was nice to see him go. On the suv thing...I know it's still America and we can all buy whatever vehicle we want but I'm surprised that Bravo would advertise that gas guzzling monster....why not promote a hybrid....My brother who needs a larger vehicle bought a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Hybrid with an Extended Cab. A much more responsible truck. But Bravo can do what they want....I guess. It would have been nice, though. None of these designers are outstanding or unique. I’m surprised they didn’t cast the show better. Bravo usually does a better job at casting.

Because GMC was the sponsor of the show, and not Chevrolet? Because GMC is promoting their gas-guzzling, not environment friendly SUVs in order to boost lagging sales? The Arcadia was all about product placement on this episode, and that's all it was. I bet that family didn't even buy that vehicle themselves!

Just caught up with last week's episode and this. Was sad to see Erik go. Re Arcadia gas-guzzler: I wondered if there had been a contest of some kind somewhere, and if you won you got both the car and your garage re-organized? Otherwise, where did they find this family?

What's an old school designer? kept referring to Eric as that. As much as Carissa et all drove me crazy, I loved their tent! My poor Goil feels like Jan Brady.

So I've decided I really don't like Michael at all. It seems to me that he's the common denominator whenever there's tension (he definitely does NOT get along with those who have strong personalities). And the one thing I kept thinking of when he was at the flower market... they didn't do the "coffin table" but yet he bought calla lilies? While fashionable, they still evoke funerals to me. I don't think Carissa is easy to work with, but I'm really tired of Michael's attitude. He's not as good as he thinks he is, and he does cause a lot of friction within teams. (Seems he always manages to pit one against another while he stays out of it and points to them, so that they look bad and he looks good. I think the judges saw thru that this time, though.) That said, I liked their party much better than the one Andrea screwed up with. I really felt sorry for Goil... I think had his designs been implemented, it would've made for a better presentation over there. As it was, there was way too much too much. It's good to be avante garde, but you want to have those elements stand out. They had so much going on that it was just too busy. Since the guests voted 3:1 for Matt's team, I guess they agreed. Loved, loved, LOVED the bouncer!!!! I wonder who's idea that really was?

how many chic parties in NYC do you think Michael has really attended??!! LOL I just kept rolling my eyes every time he said that. Oh, I did love it when the judge busted Carissa for rolling her eyes. I thought she was going to choke!!

I find Michael and Carissa equally whiny. While I was disgusted with how Andrea and Erik talked over him, I don't think Goil tried hard enough to assert himself. Of the people left, I like Goil's designs the best, but I wouldn't hire any of them to design anything in my house.

Why do they never do individual things anymore? How can we judge their designs when we never get to see any?

I felt so bad for Goil and then even worse when he went to Michael to be comforted. I hate the team competitions! Btw ... what ever happened with the Go Go dancers???

Vaca, at some point during the night they decided the go-go dancers would be too cheesy and decided to do the bouncer thing instead. I'm still unclear as to who's idea it was, but it WAS a great idea. Julie, I think last week's was an oddity... there must've been some contest to enter to win a new car and a garage makeover, and so they could only have one garage to do. The Arcadia... I can't imagine they would've given one to seven different families who would've had to meet some specific criteria I imagine (including, of course, having a garage!). And often, when there is an even number of contestants, they'll create teams. It actually kinda makes sense, because you do want to see how well the designers work with others, and how well they can get their voices heard. Unfortunately, I think Goil was so enfatuated with Andrea (for some odd reason) that he let his better judgement go out the door. I don't see him as that strong of a personality and he did let himself get walked on. However, the fact that he spoke up in the white room showed more spunk than I thought he had. I like Goil's designs most of the time, but sometimes they are just too out there for me. His design for the beach cabana was awful... part of the reason for a cabana is to be shielded from the sun, and part is to be shielded from people. He basically created a giant beach umbrella. And I hated the dog bed he did last week. Hmm... now that I think about it, I've not been impressed with much he's done since the first ep!

I didn't really feel bad for Goil. When the 3 team members were talking I kept yelling at the TV for Goil to speak up. It was his own fault that they weren't listening to his ideas and I was glad Jonathan brought that up.

Who is left? Andrea, Goil, Michael, Carissa and Matt, right? I think they need to lose Andrea (she is kinda boring) and Carissa & Michael (both are so b¡tchy). I'd like to see Goil and Matt as F2.
