Eddie’s room was total 1980’s Miami Hotel style. Nothing at all unique or innovative about it.

I don’t know if I would have been able to watch another week if Eddi was still there.

Poor Preston…I must have missed a confessional. What did he say about his family, thanks for anyone willing to fill me in.

I don’t mind Martha…she’s pretty brilliant with her crafts and cooking and well everything else.

Ondine's room looked like it was easy living as well as Preston's, I liked both.

Nathan's room looked unfinished and rather bland...but I think that was intentional?

While the others were celebrating Eddie's birthday and getting quite drunk, Preston mentioned that his father died (he was an alcoholic) and he had a cousin or someone who also died.

Thanks Costacat!!! I must have dozed off or something I don't remember that. That's very sad. Preston doesn't seem a socially needy as Eddie or Nathan.

No, he doesn't. And I sort of got the impression that Eddie, at least, is a bit jealous of Preston. Did you catch the bit where Nathan and Eddie are in the confessional together? Finally, Nathan says something and then leaves, like he's no longer finding it amusing to be dissing someone like that. Eddie just seemed to smirk his way thru.

I think Eddie is a mean-spirited person. He has no problem talking bad about someone.

I think Eddie is very "reality show" savvy. I have a suspicion that he thinks he will be very well received by his "public" wanting his 15 mins. He might be a bit surprised when he doesn't find a ton of people goo googaga'ing over him.

I think Eddie has an over-inflated ego and sense of self. And yes, if he thinks the public is gonna love him, I think he's in for a rude awakening.

Weeeelllllll, not sure I totally agree. I think that the worst thing a reality show contestant can be is BORING, not annoying. Preston may have talent, but let's face it folks - hardly a person to get your pulse racing with emotion! I'm not sure that he has had more than one facial expression during the entire run of the show. Nice guy, hope he has a great career, but zzzzzzz....

Alisons, I agree boring doesn't make for a good reality contestant. I'm not sure Preston is boring....more like broody. For me I find Preston intrigueing...I realize he'll probably never be the life of any party.

I wish my memory was better. The guy from Top Chef, the sommelier, he made my blood pressure go up like Eddie does. But Eddie annoyed me even more.

I think Eddie would have been less annoying if I didn't feel like he was only channeling Martha Stewart. He would get all up in arms about being called a stylist, but essentially, that's all he was. I wasn't impressed with 99% of the things he did (and that bedroom this week would've given me nightmares!).

Lilfair - that was STEPHEN! He was one of my all time favorite reality contestants! (Though I admit, my definition of "favorite" is that I spend a lot of time shouting and throwing my slippers at the TV.)

If I had been designing for that last challenge, there is NO WAY I would have picked a bedroom. Bedrooms are *so* personal, and if you try to make it more generic, it ends up looking like a hotel. My idea of a perfect bedroom/master bath is to have everything very spa-like, with the bedroom in neutrals from eggshell to taupe and the bathroom introducing some water-ish colors.

And for it to really feel like home, everything would have to be covered with cat hair!

If you add dog hair to the mix, I'm in. :-)

Glad Eddie's gone. I think if ol' Martha saw that last room Eddie did, she would wonder just what kind of stylist, art director, designer, she has working for her. That room was horrible.

I like Preston, a lot. I also like Nathan (who has been my favorite before Preston took over), but his last couple rooms were not very good, IMO.

I am mediocre with Ondine. I like her, but I don't know that she's great.

Preston said his father & cousin died of alcoholism. at young age

Eddie bugged me throwing around Martha Stewart name constantly and acting so rude,crude, cussing. As an employer I dont want my employees using my name in off time in that manner

I got my new issue of Dominio and Eddie had a 3 page entertaining spread
