I really like Will's room. Hosting though? Not at all. Kim's room eh was ok, just not my style.

I like Todd's room except for the bookcase color and fireplace brick. Love those chairs he had.

I actually liked Todd's room the best tonight. The most interesting and it seemed more livable than the rooms he has done in the past. I am with you Mocha....I wanted to curl up in those chairs myself! They were the item on the show that I would most like to own myself.

Hated to see Will go (my fellow North Carolinian), but it was probably the right decision. His hosting is not the best, though I think it would be far better if he could get over the nerves. I still think that Kim is a bit dull as a designer....she just doesn't seem to pick enough items with that added zing that make her stand out to me. But funnily enough she tends to go for more of the kind of stuff I would pick myself, so I have to like that about her. And I do like her hosting the best.

I think Todd is going to win.

I liked Will's room the best, and his exit interview was just sweet. I'm sure he'll be successful as a designer; hopefully his "exposure" with the show will help him gain more clients.

I felt pretty sure that Will was going tonight, and thought I might rather watch The Todd Show than the The Kim Show... now I'm not so sure. I would need to know that the wardrobe for The Todd Show does not include leather pants.

Teach, you posted exactly what I came here to post myself.

Todd has a slight annoyance factor for me. A bit too hyper-ish and I get a feeling of fake-ness (for lack of a better word) like he's acting or maybe even trying too hard in his hosting. I probably wouldn't watch his show.

I enjoy Kim. She makes me feel comfortable. I think it's a lot easier for tptb to help in the design aspect but much more difficult to help in the hosting aspect.

Laurence always painted in black leather pants. Then again he was hot and very very talented. I am speaking of Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen(sp) from Changing Rooms.

I liked Todd's room on the show. I thought those lounge chairs were very cool!

Kim picked out the tables I have in my house (the wood and slate ones). I think they are very cool and I at least didn't have to put mine together

Will was very touching at the end - I think he is a good designer. His syle reminds me of Vern's and he was always my favorite on Trading Spaces.

I liked Will's room and I agree with Marebear his style reminds me of Vern's. I think he is a great guy and I loved the things he had to say when he left. What he lacks in hosting ability, h makes up in sincerity. He is a class act!

I didn't care for Kim's room, but she gave the clients exactly what they needed and wanted. Kudos to her. I really like Kim and she was the best host of the three.

Like everyone else I liked Todd's lounge chairs but, I'm still not sold on his design style. His hosting seemed to be a bit forced.

Guess I'm pulling for Kim, but I think Todd will win.

Laurence also painted w/ruffled cuffs upon occasion, didn't he? LOL (Changing Rooms will always be my favorite since it was the first to have the idea.)

I think Todd might win if it were up to the judges, but it ISN'T!! I have been very impressed with Kim's work and would be happy to have her decorate for me -

I think she has learned from each challenge and wants to continue to learn. She may be weak on technical skills, but that is learn-able. She is a major screen presence, and I don't think that is something that can be learned.

Todd is just too "hearty" and "on" when he does his hosting presentation. I like natural people on my TV screen - people I feel I would like to meet in person.

I think that Kim did an amazing job considering the obstacles she faced in her challenge. Let's start out with the fact that she was dealing with an older manufactured home...which means perfectly smooth walls, fake wood paneling...and long distances to get the resources she needed to decorate...and her clients were so pleased.

All things considered all three of the rooms were great. I thought Will's was the best use of color but he had a young, bright client to please and I think they really got along...but he was not very good as a host.

Todd once again did a great job but I agree that he is a little hyper and honestly I think his room was the least changed of the three. He seemed more interested in all the gadgets that he bought than discussing what he dealt with as far as design goes.

Loved Kim's suite. Headed over to vote at hgtv.com. Voting closes Wednesday noon eastern time.

I love Todd and I love his youth and energy but as a tv star, I think I'd rather see him doing sports commentary, lol.

Kim did AMAZING in the final comp tonight! I was hesitant before about voting for her but she eliminated all doubt for me with her final design. As creative as Todd is, the simple fact is that I would rather spend hours in Kim's room.

Congrats to all of them, including Will! He has such a great heart that one!

Kappy - ITA

Kim really stepped up her game, and I could watch her show.

It was great that they had David come back. I watch his show all the time.

Todd is much too frenetic a host for me. I could follow what Kim was saying -- she hit the high points instead of hitting everything.

I agree Todd is too frenetic. I get tired just watching him. I voted online for Kim tonight and I'll probably vote for her again Mon, Tues, and Wed before voting ends. I loved her room and I've like most of what she has done.

Todd needs to take his Ritalin and put on a shirt!!!
Loved Kim's room and commentary. She made me feel like I could do a room like that.

I can see Todd doing some type of "extreme design" show but he probably wouldn't be a good fit for the "day to day" design audience. Kim on the other hand seems to be a nice blend of elegance and normal living. I can see myself in a room that she would design that would take my middle class lifestyle and make it look a lot better than it really is...LOL!

And she is hand's down the best host.

It sounds like they just re-ran the last episode - is that correct?
