I kind of got the impression that we could vote for a fan favorite as to who'd get the online show. I FF thru most of the commercials and fluff stuff so may have gotten that wrong... Yup, just checked... vote for your favorite to win an online show!

Btw...

Was anyone else surprised when Courtland said he was thinking of his fiance, Dina and how he missed her so much?

I was actually pretty surprised this his betrothed wasn't a man! I thought he was gay all along, as did two gay friends of mine who also watch the show.

So much for "gaydar"...

Both kitchens were blah with a lot of colorful clutter.

I'm with y'all - my gaydar was way off on Courtland. Is there someplace I can go and have it checked out and tuned up?

SFJF, my gaydar was totally off on Courtland, too. I'd have bet money he was gay.

Ditto on Courtland. Perhaps he hasn't figured it out himself yet.

The Clay Aiken syndrome.

Whatever his sexuality, that Courtland has a beautiful face and is not nearly as snarky as Michael. His "I want to be up there with the beautiful people" comment was really off-putting.

He is a cutey and I want him to win-not because Ive seen anything extraordinary about his designs, I havent seen that from any of them,but I want him to win because he's cute.Yep,it's been a lack luster season of Design Star if Im rooting for the cutest one.

Sounds like as good a reason as any, especially if none of these contestants really step it up in the next week or so.

I thought the same about Courtland! And still do...he's not married yet. He reminds me a lot of my ex-husband...who turned out to be gay...in looks and attitude. Careful, Dina! Be yourself, Courtland! Sooner rather than later!

I just watched my recording of this and I am laughing about how everyone reacted to Courtland's female fiance, because I did, too!

Maybe Courtland doesn't know he's gay and all of our gaydars are running just fine. :-)

No one was more shocked when I learned TV interior designer Christopher Lowell was heterosexual.

A wife and kids AND a fiancee? Seems like overkill to me!!

No,no-Christopher Lowell has a wife and kids.Cortland has the fiancee.

Speaking about how good looking Cortland is-all of this yrs contestants are good looking,they look like they came from "central casting" and by the looks of this year's designs,maybe they did.

This show isn't over yet, but I'm totally underwhelmed. This is the least talented bunch of decorators so far. I have seen nothing interesting, innovative. original, or terribly beautiful from any of them. Just horrible.

The blonde Candice called a bombshell is going to win.

I was totally underwhelmed by the extraordinarily heterosexual Courtland. I can tell how much he likes lady bits by the way he handles that power screwdriver. I loved the way the extraordinarily heterosexual Courtland nodded in agreement when the judges criticized Michael.

Speaking of which...Michael is kinda fun because I love snark, but he's also in need of some humility. Oh and I hate the way he dresses.

The green ceiling? No thanks.

ETA: Oh, nose! Down goes Courtland! Down goes Courtland! At least he gave Michael a very heterosexual man-hug and told him to 'go get it.' What, though, was the referent for 'it'? Only Courtland can know.

I'm really not liking the new Mark Burnett format. The constant teaming up of contestants has really detracted from the designers' ability to showcase their real talents.

Not sorry to see Courtland go. While I hated how Nina threw him under the bus the first challenge, his reaction to that in later episodes really was off putting to me. And he, too, seemed to be a bit one note (that damned fake wall). I loved the sconces, but now that I think of it, that's the only thing I've liked that he's done.

ITA Tishala! Casey is going to win. And I agree Costacat, it was time for Courtland to go.
