Anyone watching this show? I really think Todd O and Jonathan are so sweet.

I felt bad that they booted two tonight. I missed the first half. Were they both really that uncooperative that they could not agree on one design or did they think 2 diff ones was a good idea?? If they both agreed that 2 would be a good idea then I think the guy (don't even know his name) got ripped off... But if he was not cooperative, then I guess he deserved to go too. (I also don't think they should take into account past experience and hold it against anyone...)

They didn't work together at all. He seemed somewhat over-controling,,,but then she didn't really stand up either. And the 2 areas just sort of happened.

I watched the whole show then fell asleep and missed who was eliminated! I am assuming it was Jennifer and Robert that left?

I don't know their names, Panda. The guy was white with glasses. The girl was black, tall and thin with a deep voice. Their design was 2 separate rooms/areas-whereas everyone else's was one room. They also has a divider with some kind of plants on the top... (Does that help??)

Not sure if I like this show or not. The 1st couple episodes have been pretty dull. Was it the same last year?

I can't remember last year very vividly, which probably says something. I think it got more interesting toward the end, when they were working on individual projects. Next week should be interesting, because they are designing for former contestants from Project Runway.

I didn't feel that Robert needed to leave just yet. He doesn't seem to be the best team player but he did try to come up with a game plan first on how they wanted to organize the room and decide what they needed to get but all the girl wanted to do was pick out a color.

Nathan and Wisit were cute together pretending to be a married couple and sharing a marital bed. Not using the 2nd bed really opened up the space for them.

Ladytex.. my DVR ate the show and then ate the recording at 3am (it is sort of full) but it repeats again (and again), so don't five up!)

Just got caught up and... Robert was as much to blame for that fiasco of a room as Jennifer. She even said something to the effect that they needed to make it more cohesive and he just blew her off. As soon as I saw that they were basically drawing a line down the middle of the room, I knew they were done for.

I loved Andrea's and what's his name's room. I could've lived in there. I liked the mural on the wall (I'd go nuts if I had to live in a bunker and not see any nature for any length of time!), and they seemed to really make a comfortable space.

Wizit and Nathan... I liked all that open space and the draping on the ceiling. And while pink is one of my favorite colors, I think living in that pink room for 50 years would cause me to go bonkers.

This was an interesting challenge, and it was nice to see that most of them actually got along with their partners.

do they always send 2 people home or is it always different?

I don't understand why the blue room was also in the bottom 2. I thought it was great!I thought the guys with the one bed should have been the other couple in the bottom.

I like that the contestants on this show, for the most part, have a lot of experience or professional backgrounds in design. More than on Design Star.

I like the credentials of the judges but will take a pass on their personalities. At least, so far they come off very snooty.

oh and if Ricky Shrodder's wife says (or is edited) to keep saying "my husband is Rick Schrodder" I am going to have a heart attack.

OH MAN! I loved Kerry. He was so sweet. I thought Shazbia (I forgot her exact name) should have gone.

I would have thought Shazia would also have been chosen for elimination. They talked about how she never seemed to contibute.

But I must say, in thinking about the 2 showcase windows, I DEFINITELY thought that Kerry/Wizit's was the worst.

Wisit's voice reminds me very much of Georgette's from the MTM show...

Last nights' elimination was really unfair. Kerry was just too nice and too much of a gentleman. He tried too hard to cooperate with Wisit. He should have just taken over and told Wisit what they were going to do. Of course that is part of being a leader, but there is a limit to what they should be held accountable for.

If someone winds up with an "bad" partner, they are just screwed, because if they just take over, they get bashed for not letting their partner participate, but if they do not, then they get bashed for not stepping up and overriding their partner's bad ideas. A classic case of not being able to win for losing.

At first when they asked if Kerry should go home, and Wisit said."no" in that little voice, I thought he was going to step up and admit he was as much at fault, and then he ruined it by saying in a conscending manner, "He did his best." I wanted to throw something at the screen.

Wisit should have gone home. The idea that the "leader" in these competions should always be the one to lose is ridiculous. Kerry really had a handicap with Wisit because Wisit certainly did not connect with the client and was just hung up on his rococo idea.

I agree, they dropped the ball on this one.
I find myself wanting to watch the show but there is something sleepy about it...is it just me?

I agree Allie! Even Jeffrey predicted that Wisit was going to take him (Big Daddy) down. It really wasn't fair.

This is why I hate when these shows make them work as teams.

Especially cuz they've made them do teams for every single ep so far. (right??) Only time I can think of them doing any individual thing was the mini thing in the middle of the first team room.

The judges didn't know what went on between Kerry and Wisit, and how Wisit just wouldn't let the roccoco stuff go. Kudos to Kerry for NOT throwing Wisit under the bus, and boos for Wisit for not stepping up and taking responsibility for the mess that ended up in their window.

I hate the team thing too and I hated that Kerry got sent home.. Wisit just kept saying "Rococo" when that simply didn't fit in. I could have lost Shazia, too.

Wisit kept saying "roccoco" even AFTER his designer told him he didn't want that at all and he had nothing to do with Blade Runner!!!!

LOL, THAT's for sure..

Main Entry: 2rococo
Function: adjective
Etymology: French, irregular from rocaille rocaille
Date: 1841
1 a: of or relating to an artistic style especially of the 18th century characterized by fanciful curved asymmetrical forms and elaborate ornamentation b: of or relating to an 18th century musical style marked by light gay ornamentation and departure from thorough-bass and polyphony
2: excessively ornate or intricate





quote:

Blade Runner has been hailed for its production design, depicting a "retrofitted" future.[2][3] The film is credited with prefiguring important concerns of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, such as overpopulation, globalization, climate change[4] and genetic engineering. It remains a leading example of the neo-noir genre.




About as opposite as can be.
