I see they are advertising for a new design Star competition on HGTV. What happened to our last design star, did I miss his show, or what?

I was wondering the same thing Dipo when I saw the commercial.

Don't you mean "her"? Wasn't it Jennifer the blonde who won? I remember wanting Matt to win based on his creative constructions.

I thought both finalists last time were lame and not good enough to carry their own show...I hope they have much better talent this year. What is the debut date?

Didn't they say the new show would debut in January?

LOL, Prisonerno6, I was thinking that Matt had won, did he lose and I just blocked that out, LOL.

I googled and Jennifer's show "Paint Over!" airs January 1 at 5 Eastern. It referred to it as a "special." Hmmmmm....guess they don't promise you a series! And I still wish Matt had won! (Though I liked her, too.)

I voted for Matt too. I used to love the show that Debbie Travis did where she redid people's room...she started out doing creative painting techniques on Oprah if I remember correctly.

OMG, Paint Over is on! I was watching all the new shows after the Rose Parade on HGTV and it just started. I really liked the new shows, Gen's show, Desparate Buyers and an investment property show where they help homeowners create a rental unit it their property.

I must be the only one that was underwhelmed by Jen's show.

I was underwhelmed also. I had it on, but never got into it. I was trying to get a few things done, so was admittedly distracted, but was cleaning so I was all too willing for something to grab my attention! She is talented, but as an un-artistic person I would be unable to do it myself.

Yesitsme, eight years ago a friend of mine did to her patio exactly what Jen did to that couple's patio - and she doesn't have a TV show. In fact, her patio came out nicer as she did much more extensive stenciling on the concrete. I didn't see anything on Jen's show that the average person could not do.

Thats what I like, Lexiegirl, the average person can do it. One of the reasons I didn't really like Paint Over was because who would do that stuff - it takes so much time to do multiple paint treatments. I guess there are some people who would but not me. I didn't really like what she did to the patio, but it was a 100 times better, I didn't see how they could really entertain out there with only 2 chairs, but that may have been a budget issue. I also would have like to see more suggestions for lighting than those few candles.

I agree Dipo, the patio looked much better. But Jen didn't do anything that any of us couldn't do.

Yeah, and I am worse than average so I would have problems. I recently started painting a bedroom and gave up when I kept getting paint on the bottom of my feet and little on the wall. A friend finished it for me.

Do many of the designers actually do things we can't do? We are all physically able, but do we really come up with the ideas on our own? I know I can look at my room and not see what a 'fresh eye' can see. I have walked into other people's homes and seen relatively simple things done and thought 'why didn't i think of that?'. Most of the design shows don't necessarily teach me things, just show me how to think out of the box a little.
