I didn't like any of the rooms, the black room was unfinished and black walls are just to harsh for me.

I would rather lick a monkey than work with Tracee.

(I don't like monkeys and don't lick any animals BTW)

It always seems to be a little underwhelming when they do these group projects. I like it better when they are on their own.

No more excuses.

What is with Tracee always wanting to paint furniture? Last night she wanted to paint something again even though they didn't have time.

Didn't she do enough damage last week when she painted that beautiful wood table?

I thought Stephanie was the "mad" painter.

Yes, it was Stephanie who wanted to paint a piece of furniture. She and Jen painted the table last week.

I know this prolly doesn't fit anywhere but I just wanted to say that Stephanie has a really nice, thick, body and she can design any room in my house, anyway she pleases.

Oh and she can paint whatever she wants in the process.

Well, I'm sorry for his sake but Mr. Amazing needed that humbling experience. After all that eye rolling and all those catty remarks, it was a relief to see him go. Tracee will probably be right behind him just because she had a chance to shine and didn't pull it off. She did "go big" but that giant fake mirror was a mistake.

I was disagreeing with most of what the judges had to say. The rooms they liked didn't seem to reflect the countries they were assigned to, and I thought Mike V.s' room was the best. Whether it was cliche or not is irrelevant if the room looks good, and at least you knew it was Asian inspired. I didn't get Mexico from either of the Mexican rooms, and the yellow room was nicely painted but I wouldn't want to spend any time in it. Too dizzying. They're auditioning for HGTV, not Trading Spaces.

I actually thought Mr. Amazing's room was nicely done, but it just didn't reflect Spain. I'm surprised they let him go for that, considering so many others didn't represent their countries well, either. I thought he was one of their favorites. They must've had other reasons for letting him go.

None of the rooms were wow & none of them have the charisma for hosting.

Curly, I agree with you that Mr. Amazing's room was nicely done, but I also agree with the judges that he had his pick of countries and he totally blew it.

They all looked like theater set designs to me.

Okay I want to vent, I'm actually pretty pissed at who went home. (Catty or not) His room was ALOT better then Tracee's room and that other guys. Why they are keeping Tracee is beyond me! I don't think he deserved to go!

They all failed except maybe Jennifer, imo. Honestly these designers came up with remedial designs. Although Michael's design was not offensive it absolutely was basic and my 8 year old niece could have come up with that room, without much thought.

Let's all hope we see more professional rooms in the upcoming episodes.

They should bring in the 2nd (and 3rd) place finishers from DS 1 & 2 to complete.

I thought forcing them to do a "theme" room limited their ability to show their true personality. Last year there wasn't such a constriction and I felt the designs were much better and much more diverse.

I was glad to see Michael go. He has been a prima donna since the beginning when he ran crying out of the room. Although his snarkiness was amusing at times it was beginning to wear thin. I think he has some amazing creativity but he required help to execute it, and he was lucky to always get paired with someone else who was a lot more "tool-savvy" than him. And that scene at the end...GIVE ME A BREAK! He wants his MOTHER? I'm not sure if I was his mother I would be embarrassed for him or give him a smack on top of the head!

Matt really blew this one, even though his final execution wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Hopefully he will redeem himself soon...he's the only one I think could have an interesting show.

I find it amazing that last year they loved the "out there" creativity of the guy who came in second (the handsome blonde guy) and rewarded him for thinking WAY out of the box, and yet this year they question whether Matt would be effective for almost the same reason. Personally I agree that "that much" (sorry, I am using quotes a lot here today) creativity needs some serious reining in, or else you are stuck with designers like Doug and Hildi!

To me the only set that looked professional to any degree at all was Mikey B.'s. The rest looked like they were put together with cardboard and scotch tape. Sloppy work and poor construction. I realize they only had $500 to spend, but good grief, I could have done as well as these people did.

And I could not tell what country any of them came from, including Mikey's. But at least his looked like it came from the general area of the world his country is in.

The rest could have been the lounge room at any B motel in this country. And Tracee's was quite frankly amateurish to say the least.

I think this was the worst show I have ever seen in any of this type of show. Just awful. Personally, I would not have had a winner, and I would have sent Tracee home. I think they held Michael to a higher standard because he did have his choice of countries and that seemed unfair to me.

I can't help thinking there was more to the firing than just that one room, like there was more going on behind the scenes than we were allowed to see. More than once Tracee said "I'm ashamed to be associated with some of you." You don't normally say "ashamed" unless someone's doing something unethical or humiliating. He wasn't ready to host a show anyway. Tried too hard to be cute.

Tracee got off to a rough start in this competition, but I really hated the wolfpack nonsense that was going on with that group. They told her off after the first challenge, and that should've been enough. All that being nice to her face and trashing her behind her back just made the rest of them look bad in my eyes, especially when she was making an effort to be nicer. Her designs haven't been stellar, but neither have most of the others.

I kept wondering why the rooms looked so much like stage sets, and then I remembered that they were only allowed to shop at Michael's rather than real furniture stores. I guess they figured they were to show off the craft store merchandise in creative ways.
