Robb finally got what we in the South would refer to as his "comeuppance!"

Frankly I can't see myself watching either of the final 3. They just aren't host material to me. Great designers though but not a host. To me they need to be on a show like trading spaces back when they had Paige.

I think Will has great design sense, but lacks the charisma necessary for a Design Star.
Kim is a team player and had a good tv presentation. I think her only weakness is her lack of design experience.

Todd has that "it" factor they want in a Design Star and thinks outside the box. Having said that I think he can be "over the top" and that may hurt him when it comes to designing for a tv show.

At this point I'm not sure who will win. Glad to know we get to choose again like we did when David won.

Todd doesn't do anything for me either. I don't know if HGTV is looking for an "extreme" designer or what?

I like Kim but I'm not sure she really has the experience to carry this out, but she was really good on the presentation part.

Todd might be good if he did a show about designing rooms for teenage boys. I haven't seen the most recent episode yet, but previous episodes made me think maybe he hadn't progressed out of adolescence yet. Like, maybe when he was growing up he had all these ideas of what a cool room would look like, but wasn't able to act on his visions till now. Trouble was, his body had grown into adulthood, but his mindset hadn't.

Oh I like Todd. I watch so many of these shows and I think he would bring a new creative perspective.

And he is nice to look at...

I finally watched the show last night. So glad to see Robb go!! And to see him cry and say the show was wrong letting him go .... uck!

I agree Dfng, I would absolutely watch a Todd show. He has the personality and the enthusiasm. He's creative and yes ... he's nice to look at. :o)

I wonder if the judges saw more of the Kim/Robb dispute than what we saw them see (sorry for the awkward sentence) in the final judging. Robb was really out of control. A healthy ego is a good thing, but his was ragingly out of control.

I was wondering the same thing Roxi cause they kept saying 'they wish they hadn't seen that'. What I saw didn't look so bad.

Me three, Roxip & Texannie. I wondered if we saw the gist of it but they were so offended by the way Kim/Robb talked to each other and about each other. I mean, Vern and Hildi have completely different styles, but I'm sure they could work together and respect their differences.

I thought that Robb was the real jerk here...Kim defended herself but I thought she did it, at least originally, in a very respectful way. They were supposed to BOTH be designing the room, not simply Robb doing everything and Kim taking notes. Robb really needs to learn how to deal with people instead of talking down to them.

Finally got to see the last episode. I really did like Todd's ideas. Now I can add that, not only would he do well designing teenage boy's rooms, but also rich people's rooms with all the cool "toys" a rich person could pay for (gadgets and special feature type stuff). That rotating living room was fantastic. Once he tabled the "Surfer Dude" persona, he looked like a serious designer.

Robb.....ugh. Not sad to see his tail end walking out the door in the least. I wouldn't say that talking down to people and treating them like their lowly uneducated underlings is good management style at all. Doesn't matter if he's in charge (like the previous week), or just thinks he's in charge (like most other weeks), the autocratic management style rarely works.

The platform in the living room was right on, what a wonderful idea. Kim was great as a host, all that energy.

I thought the platform was cute but for real for real I wouldn't want that in my living room. I don't need a merry-go-round in my house lol.

I would worry about having small children around it. I don't know how much of a gap there was around the bottom but I would think that would be rather dangerous. Obviously not for small children.

I am so glad Robb is gone. He looked ridiculous hosting in that bandana, and his Los Vegas wedding reception room was beyond tacky. He has little respect for other people and that New York abruptness is off-putting!

I'm not sure that I am thrilled with any of these last 3 or would watch their shows...I loved the final 2 last year and would have watched the show of either (and David's show is probably my favorite one on the network at the moment.) I think Todd probably is the most talented and complete package, but personally I wouldn't enjoy living in the rooms he creates. I think Will would have more of the kind of stuff I would be interested in on his show and I have liked his rooms, though he definitely needs to up his presentation skills. I like Kim's presentation skills and think she is relatable, but haven't been blown away by her rooms.

But that being said, I would prefer all to Robb and am thrilled he is gone. He seems to think that if you are artistic you can be a pain in the rear and who wants to support that? He is talented, but evidently didn't have consequences for bad behavior growing up.

Yesitsme - ITA. Having said that I find it fascinating that only one of the three finalist is actually a designer (Will). Kim is a beautician and Todd is an artist/landscape architect according to their bios on hgtv.com.

Dipo the final comp is 9/9 and the audience choice is revealed 9/16.
