sry about the mixup LOL I kinda thought you meant MP3 but there are so many new things out I have no clue. I don't have a MP3 so it must have played on Windows Media player.

I think it means he's got the design sensibilities of an older designer, rather than the avant garge tendencies of today's newer designers.

still don't understand! LOL i must be old school! was watching Designer's Challenge today and Andrea was one of the designers. She was picked and did a really wild room, but it was exactly what the clients wanted.

I thnk Goil and Matt should be final two, also. I'm really sick of Carissa whining and making excuses, Michael still annoys me and I never thought he'd get that far! Andrea is a bore!

I didn't "get" Goil's design and didn't like Carissa's but I am glad to see Michael go!

I thought Andrea's looked like a conference room. Matts was good - loved the leather floor, but I thought the chairs we too "barrell-y". They FINALLY called Carissa on her whiney, its-everybodys-fault-but-mine attitude! Although I'm starting to tire of Goil's emotional angst, I still think he's more talented than Carissa and Andrea - he just needs more self confidence. I'm hoping for Matt to win - His designs may not win every week, but he is very consistant.

I loved Andrea's room!! I could so see it in a restaurant. Thought Matt's was elegant also.

I agree Texannie! And I think it will come to Andrea and Matt.

I think it will be Andrea and Matt in the final two, too. I really liked both their rooms. Carissa and Goil complain too much, but Carissa is the worst. I have a hard time listening to her talk, her voice irrates me.

Yeah, after the last two shows, I'm pretty tired of Goil and his freak-outs and Carrisa has always bothered me with here excuses and complaining. I liked both of the rooms by Matt and Andrea. She did pull it together and made it look very elegant. I also agree about Matt being consistent. I was pleasantly surprised at Michael's exit interview. He was quite humble about it all, a far cry from the way he started out.

I wonder how many carpenters are going to want to work with Carrisa after this show? She sure does seem to end up with carpenter issues, doesn't she?

I loved both Andrea's and Matt's rooms. The one thing that jumped out at me about Michael's room was how uncomfortable the chairs were. There is no way I could sit in any of those chairs for a 3-hour dinner.

If the judges asked which room I wouldn't want to dine in, I might have answered Matt's. Those wicker (or whatever they were made of) chairs looked like I wouldn't have been able to fit comfortably in them. Armed chairs are bad enough for a person with big hips. And they were squeezed into the space so tightly, you would have had to pull the chair way out from the table to get into it. And being on a leather floor, I suspect they wouldn't have "scooted" back up to the table very easily either.

I hated how the judges nitpicked the fact that Michael refused to answer the question. I think that he was correct in his refusal to answer the question. IMHO, the question was asked in order to elicit anger, humiliation, etc. from the contestants. Very immature. The designers are not the judges. Their opinions about each others' rooms has no bearing on the decision-making. Therefore, the question was rude.

I'm watching the show where they are designing the chef's room. The chef said he liked the Arts and Crafts Movement from the early 20's. Wouldn't Frank Lloyd Wright type furniture and design fit better? That's a specific style..not just art and craft things. Carissa totally misunderstood it. IMO.

Frank Lloyd Wright was the one who was so big on built-ins, so the bench that Clarissa did did evoke him in that respect - my grandmother's house has a FLW kitchen design, and there is a table that sort of juts out from the wall - it is a built in, as are all the appliances and cabinetry. The only things free standing in the kitchen are the chairs - but they slide right into the table and don't take up much room when no one is sitting there.

I think her colors with the chair fabric made it look cheaper in my opinion. It just wasn't Carissa's best effort. Alison, that is cool. I bet she loves it.

I haven't finished this last episode yet.. halfway through on the upstairs DVR, so I'm not reading,but Carissa just bugs the heck out of me every time I honestly don't get a feeling of "professional" from any of them.

Though I did like Carissa's room, I do not get a professional feel about her at all. I agree with Sea, that none of them are really professional. I was sad to see Goil go, but his room was the worst. I hate when comps are so unlevel. I think the air and water had a huge advantage over fire and earth... I would hate a room with grass in it. Especially at sitting level. I would think that bugs would be eminent.
