Quick comment on covering dark wall colors.

I have heard that if you paint silver over a dark color, it won't bleed through, it will reflect the covering color.

When I meet someone, I usually ask them whre thy live, or if they are a new neighbor where did they used to live - what country asks that?

Only a few minutes away! How I wish they would give you guys a glimpse of the fun and interesting place that Nashville is! Why the heck did they set it here if they weren't going to feature the city in any way?

OK, I could have done without them cutting the ring off on camera.

Tnt the show is not about the city, let it go lol.

Ok they did a kitchen, team effort with Tracey as project leader. Boring kitchen but looks much better than original. They had no design plan though. Double elimination.

Ok well, blah blah blah

Tracey cancelled and she didn't take it well. Mikey cancelled based on the hosting part which didn't go well. He took it well.

I thought Mikey would have been better, considering all of his on-camera experience. But then, perhaps those weren't exactly speaking roles...

While Tracee did try to blame everyone else, it's only fair, since everyone else tried to blame her for everything. They made up their mind they weren't going to listen to her from the beginning. That said, she spent far too long shopping, and should have figured out she had to bring the tile back. Then again, someone should have told her to do that, too (waffle, waffle).

Yeah, that's all true. Nobody really had anything to brag about in this episode. They were never going to like Tracee, so her days were numbered anyway. Ironic that she and her biggest detractor got booted together. Now who will they blame when things go wrong?

I don't know why they give Matt so much grief about his hosting skills. I think he comes across very nicely. I thought Trish was a bit awkward and fake, and enough with the hands on the hips cutesy thing she always does at the end. Jennifer says the right things, but her voice hits a pitch that can be grating. If she could work on that she'd be fine. Still, Matt is the only one left there who seems to be capable of big, creative ideas.

I think we're going to be stuck with another "Myles of Styles". Another show and host on HGTV that I won't watch. I don't see any of the finalists being someone who's show I can't wait to watch.

Tracee should have been let go the first show. None of these people are interesting. Too bad Jerome left so soon.

Tracee should have learned her lesson about taking too long to shop and should have come back with the tile. I can't remember which challenge it was and she took forever to get back from shopping (maybe the mansion where they each had to split up in four teams and decorate the room). I can't remember who her partner was, but the comment was made that she should have come back with something and then finish her shopping.

Tracee deserved to leave. The room she put forth was a remedial first timer room. There was NOTHING in that kitchen that remotely had a professional look. It was a beginners first time try at updating their kitchen.

Tracee's time spent shopping was ridiculous. Her poor time management should have canceled her show alone.

Matt is far better at hosting, for my taste, than Trish. For my liking Trish comes off as very fake and there is NO WAY I'd watch her show. I'd be interested in both Matt's show and Jennifer's, since I like them both and get warm feelings from them.

Thank goodness we get to vote on who of the final 2 gets the show. But I have a feeling neither will make it long term.

I would've watched Mikey's show. But the next Design Star won't be working in a group so I don't think the final 5 project should've been a group one. We need to know these people's individual styles and see what they can do when given a certain design style to create.

The kitchen wasn't planned from the beginning. Huge mistake. You have to have a plan, sketch the room and decide what to do where. Major flaw in last night's comp.

I keep wanting to give Tracee a break. I think she wanted to get a design plan down, but everyone else just wanted to jump in and do demo. Knowing they have a problem with her, she seemed reluctant to force the issue. She was in a no win situation - literally.

But I agree, Mocha, at this point we should see what they can do without any restrictions on there own.

I still like Matt. I think he's one I would learn some interesting things from.

Then as project lead she should've split them up. Some do the demo and others in charge of decorating. But still write a plan. That is soo basic. But maybe they set her up to fail?

ed'd Oh and as leader she should've sent someone else to do the shopping and she should've been on site to lead.

Can someone do me a favor?

I just started into this show. I saw the one where they did team rooms for Sara Evens and I saw half of the kitchen remodel. I fell asleep before it ended. I can't seem to find out what dates/times this show is on.

Sooo----Can someone post in my folder the times it is on. And also if there will be a rerun of the kitchen episode. I don't want to look in this folder again as I don't want to find out who left (if possible.) THANKS!!!

Julieboo - I posted the schedule in your folder. It is based on my Comcast listing here in Indiana where we are on EDT. Hope this helps.

Jen was Tracee's partner, on that other challenge where she took too long shopping. Jen even told her time management was an issue.

I wouldn't watch the winner's show anyways, since I never watch HGTV. :-)

That said, it was totally Tracee's time to go. While she may have been betwixt and between a rock and a hard place, there was no design. The lack of the ONE THING the owners wanted (a back splash) doomed the entire project from the start. And while I, personally, like very neutral and light colors, the brown backsplash just was awful as was that valance thing Tracee did. She focused on accessories, and that's not design star(that's "how to change the look of a room in 20 minutes on $20").

However, not a single person told Tracee to go get the tile and come back and THEN go back out. HOWEVER, she also should've thought of that. How can you do something if you don't have the supplies necessary? Their schedule was quite clear on starting the tile work after the counters were installed, at 2:30.

I like the final 3, so I don't really care who wins. I think Matt is the most versatile and probably the best at what he does (I loved his portfolio!). But he's not uber friendly as a host, yet. I think Jen is too cutesy and I'm not sure about Trish. But I like all three and, as I said, I wouldn't watch their shows anyways, so I don't really care who wins. Just nice to see three nice people in a finale in yet another reality show!

Agree with Costacat, it's good to see three nice people in the finale for a change. I love David Brondstat's Color Splash but I can't say the same for Kim Myles show. While she is very likeable, she doesn't have the design skills that David does. He has both personality and talent. I don't see any of these three having a successful show like David. JMHO
