I loved the water room and the air room. I liked the colors in Goil's room. I thought the earth room could've used a lil more though. It didn't really say earth to me.

The theme was earth, water, fire, air. Each designer got one. (Which I think was unlevel, as I think air and water are so much "prettier" to do than the other 2.

Goil left.

Goil-fire
MAtt-water
Carissa-air
Andrea-earth.

Andrea needs a hairstyle. SHe looks like Ally Sheedy in Breakfast Club.

Beth .... it was a theme competition.

Goil - fire
Carissa - air
Matt - water
Andrea - earth

I liked the colors in Goil's room as well. Matt's room was amazing!

Yep, my favorite rooms were water and air, too. I could have moved right into Matt's room. Now what is up with the female judges?? They all look like they need a makeover! The guest judge last night looked like a vampire with the horrible makeup and the other 2 regular judges need a good hairstylist. They can decorate a room but not themselves. LOL

LOL Twinks! Kelly Wearstler's hair looked like she'd put her finger in a light socket ... so bad! I wish I could find a picture.

Andrea needs to start looking like a grown up if she's going to be a top designer. The three pony tails in the back ... bad!!

But I can understand it on Andrea because she's just a struggling wanna be designer and the judges have tons of money and can have professional stylists! What is wrong with them?? Vacanick, I said that same thing when I saw Kelly!! Finger in light socket! LOL

Yeah she needs a good cut and moisturizer and a color that looks less harsh on her.

LOL I see most of you thought what I did! What the heck is wrong with those judges and how they make themselves look! The guest judge was scary!

I'm glad that Matt finally won. I loved his room. Carissa's wasn't bad either, but she bugs the heck out of me. She hand-picked that carpenter and all she does is have problems with him! Goil's room was a disaster. I agree about Andrea, too!

Maybe the judges were used as subjects in the upcoming Shear Genius show.

I can kinda laugh at the "finger in a light socket thing." That's one of the many lines used against me when I was growing up. My hair was the bane of my existence as a kid. And although I rarely say something about someone else's hair because of that......well....I do have to kinda agree with all of ya on those judges hair styles! What gets me is how some people PAY to have their hair look like that, and all my life I do anything I can to make it not look like that!

So, now that I've broken the ice and mentioned someone else's hair.....I wish Andrea would start parting her hair in a different spot. Can't she see that giant bald spot she is getting? It just bugs me!

I didn't like Matt's room as a water theme, I thought it looked more like an air theme. I wanted actual WATER in the water room! Is that so bad? There is water all over my house, I have fountains in the bedrooms and the living room. The fountain in the living room is huge, takes up a whole end table, it is one of those Tibetian ones that ring (floating bells that drift into each other.)

I was so sorry to see Goil go. Everyone admitted that he had the toughest theme and that Matt had the easiest. Why not just let them all pick which of the themes they wanted, why make them do all four? Totally unfair. I hate these "competitions" where they do not have an even playing field, and also the ones where you have to work as a team.

It is time to put me in charge of Top Design!!

Alisons, I totally get it. I thought Carissa's room looked more like a water room, and Matt's room looked more like an "air" room.

That said, truly, Matt should win this competion. Maybe Andrea if she gets out of her funk. They've both consistently turned in really nice rooms.

Not to mention Matt's skills in working with people: remember how the judges complimented him on being responsible for pulling bickering Michael and Carissa together into a successful whole on the party theme show.

Goil's room was pure Trading Spaces. I would have done warm yellows and white with blue accents to represent the base of a gas flame and avoided red like the plague. A big luscious, fluffy bed in whites would have bekoned the most resistant.

Andrea. I would have recoiled at he assignment of Earth too. She avoided rustic but missed. How about charcoal, funky greens and majenta to represent lava and lush flora?

Clarissa, great job and the winner in my book. She was able to skirt the obvious use of white and diaphanous fabric to illustrate air. The louvers were brilliant.

Matt, well we knew he had the winner because the opening credits have been showing us that clip from the debut. Still, he deserved it. Great effort.

Judges. Oh come on. Worried about housekeeping? Now what if your minions had really accomodated them. Boring, perhaps?

I absolutely hated Andrea's room. I'd have gone with all sorts of various shades of green, and brought in lots of plants/flowers. Her room just bored me to tears.

Goil's room scared me. Too red/orange. Such an angry room. But I loved his metal design for the headboard. I'm assuming that, as it moved, it'd look like flames.

I liked Carissa's room, and loved the color. I also liked Matt's room, but that all white can be a bit overwhelming sometimes.

WRT the grass... you CAN get hydroponically grown grass that is bug free. So the bug issue was really a stupid reason. That said, I think a small centerpiece of grass would've worked better.

WRT housekeeping... in any high end suite, you still have staff that have to clean up (and repair) between guests. The ventilation slats, especially being black, would be a nightmare to clean. And the mirrored nightstands would also be a pain. Sometimes, you have to compromise between vision, luxury, and utility.

I think Matt has this thing won. Andrea is just too dark and I don't see her doing anything spectacular enough to wow the judges into forgetting her past abominations (can you say afghan?). I think Carissa's constant rolling of eyes is gonna irritate the judges enough that, no matter how well she does in the next challenge, she won't be the Top.

And honestly, most of Matt's designs have impressed me. He's got a clean, minimalistic approach to design that is (mostly) quite impressive. I'd live in most of his rooms (last week's chef's table, this week's hotel room).

They had to choose a cover of a design magazine and design a room around that.

Carissa was shown fighting big time with her carpenter.

Matt was also shown getting very upset with his carpenter.

Andrea shown with kind of drab colors.

Matt won the challenge.

Carissa is going on to the finals.

Bye bye to Ally Sheedy. Oh, I mean Andrea...

SIDENOTE: One of the judges, Kelly W, looks like she is wearing a towel, especially when she is sitting on her barstool... (and she is an expert in design??? Must not be fashion design!!)

Thanks, Julie! SO GLAD Matt won the challenge and is going on. He and Erik are the only ones I would have design for me. Can't believe Carissa is going to finals though!

Question: in previews, it had looked like Matt was working with the one woman carpenter; wasn't that Goil's carpenter? She was the one Carissa was upset with some time ago, although Carissa always seems to fight with carpenters.

You are observant Beth!! Matt did get the woman carpenter (she does seem to be a bit of a pain) because his carpenter cut his finger badly in the last episode and the docs told him he should rest for a few weeks.

In this case, I think Carissa was right. I think her carpenter was the one causing the trouble. He was not following what she wanted. I don't blame her for getting irate with him...
