I didn't like the wood structure but I can see their logic, he at least showed initiative. I was sorry to see her go, but that afgan??? I didn't agree with Carissa winning

and I agree, I watch this show, but I think it's boring. It's almost more out of loyalty to the franchise and there is nothing else I like better on!

I didn't think Carissa should have won either and also thought the guy who made the room "classy & expensive" looking for his client should have won. Carissa's was too empty. While I didn't like that wood fence thing, I didn't think the rest of that room was that bad. I liked how he had the chairs hanging on the wall as art.

Guess I'm on the "Carissa shouldn't have won" bandwagon. Her room seemed pretty much a standard issue dorm room. Nothing very unique or individual. Did agree with who left, given the two choices, Found that room very depressing. Although there were only a couple I'd have liked to live in, there were others I at least appreciated. This stuff is so subjective and I find the judges sense of style, for the most part, a bit peculiar.

Some of the comments made by the judges leave me feeling like if I have no taste at all. The afghan room was not that bad. If they did not like the afghan, take it out--of course, what was she thinking? Did she not pay attention when Michael was ripped apart over the home sweet home pillow?

I liked the afgan. Oh well. I guess I better not apply for a job in home design!

design students. The guy that won Design Star on HGTV, David, will have his own show starting next month called Color Splash. Also on HGTV.

I think a great twist would be to have a group of grandmothers for them to design a room for. Then they would be torn between the traditional "grandma" room or a cool, hip grandma like me. LOL

I think that a room could have been designed where the afghan fit in fine, but that room was not it! I thought the wallpaper was VERY ugly and totally unsuitable for a room meant for a woman. If she had had a wall treatment that was squares within squares mixing bright and dark colors, the afghan would have tied it together with more muted furnishings. Oh well.

I thought the afghan clashed with the wall covering in Felicia's room. I thought the wall covering could've worked in a more minimalist room, where the emphasis on design was on the wall. But I thought her room was too disconnected. It kinda made me feel tense to just look at it, let alone how I may have felt actually being in it. That said, I thought Ryan should've gone home. HIS room really freaked me out. All those "targets" painted everywhere. And that wooden thing in the middle of the room? Yeah, OK, so he wanted to separate the space. But since you could SEE thru the thing, it wasn't separated, now was it? I agree with his student... it looked like a jail. I also agree with the judges... I'm not sure why he's there. He seems to want to force his aesthetic on everyone (and I'm so tired of hearing him say "I'm an artist" as if that makes him more special than everyone). Last I heard, this was a DESIGN show, not an ART show. But no matter, his room actually gave me a headache. Goil's bed really bothered me. Mostly because I agreed with the judges about getting into that bed. I mean, seriously, I'm not sure I'd want to walk around with bruised shins caused while trying to get in and out of bed. So, did anyone else get freaked out about Kellie W's "look"? I mean, her hair was freaky enough, but that dress? What the heck was UP with that thing? It was not attractive, the color was awful on her, and then her wild hair. So yeah, creative folks sometimes claim license for what they wear, but that wasn't in good taste at all. At least not to me.

Oh, I feel better now if it was a repeat! I set it to tape at the 11:00 pm rerun and it was a repeat so I thought I had missed the new show!

New show last night...Redo a client's garage...What a LOUSY premise!!! I really don't like these group challenges (Another next week!) as I would rather see each of the designers own esthetic (sp?) and personality come through each design...plus I like to look at how each designer perceives the same challenge. That said, I was OK with the guy (forgot his name already) that was chosen to leave...Didn't like his "I'm an artist" attitude...but did get a kick outta the judge in the middle who was obviously a fan of his...talk about looking like you just ate a sour lemon...LOL!!!

Ryan. And I did not like this challenge at all. I do not like the group ones at all.

Because Ryan contributed next to nothing and had a bad attitude besides. He wouldn't even take that job. It was beneath him, he's an artist. ick.

Ryan definitely needed to go. His pompous, arrogant, "I'm an artISTE" attitude was getting real old. Vacanick, this really large family had this really crappy garage that was full of junk. Each person wanted something different -- a stage for the kids, an office workspace for the mom, and, of course, the prerequisite product placement with space for the gigantic GMC Arcadia (or whatever it was). Each designer had to present a model of how they'd redo the garage, and the family picked the winner. I totally can't remember her name, but it's the tall dark-haired woman who won, and everyone else was to work for her. She also won immunity. Ryan's presentation to the family was, essentially, "you have a lot of crap and you need to get rid of it." He also told the judges that he would've refused the job, because of all the crap. He did start out in the white room by apologizing to the designer judges for his comments the previous episode, but then immediately turned up his nose and said he'd never do a job like that. Twinkie... artiste! Not artist. Gag. For the others, Michael got dinged for his crappy colors for the draperies for the stage, Carissa got dinged for spending all her time working in the shed (an additional component that wasn't originally included but the mom decided her office could go in the tool shed), Ryan got dinged for his lack of graphics (all he did was paint areas on the garage floor which was to direct the driver when parking the monster SUV), Goil got dinged for spending all his time on the dog bed (it rolled!). Kind of a weird challenge. Next week's looks like a team challenge, with three versus three.
