I liked how she talked about a theme (feng shui) even though I don't think she really thought about that much during the design of the room. But she totally was awful on cam. The blonde girl, while she really shouldn't talked down about her design, at least seemed comfortable in front of the cam.

So interesting how everyone sees things, I thought that Julie did better on the promo than Emily (blonde girl) and I thought that Julie's room was a little bit better than Emilys.

But I was really annoyed that Nina won after totally sabotaging Courtland, that was just amazing to me. And I wish he would have said something but I noticed that none of the people actually seemed to give their true opinion of the other persons room. I was glad to see that he did mention it to the others who were in the bottom six so that they know to look out for her.

I totally thought Julie's room was better, but Julie was uncertain and basically almost stuttered along in places during her hosting.

Totally agree with the annoyance of Nina winning. I thought she completely threw Courtland under the bus. I'm glad he spoke up during the elimination, and next time you KNOW he'll say something right off the bat.

Yeah, costacat I am sort of looking forward to that, LOL. I don't like her thinking she got away with something.

Viewers vote with their fingers (changing to another show)...if someone like her "won" a show we would turn it off for sure. I think this is a sign that she continues to try and be mean and manipulative and that she will be shipped off at some point in the future. Deservedly so!

Nina will never get a vote from me for what she did. And it certainly was a disadvantage to be questioned first.. at least if she had been first he could have known he needed to critique her more.

The bottom two.. well Julie's room was better but her presentation was SO full of cliches!

Which one is Julie,the blonde or the Asian? Im thinking its the blonde bc I cant imagine you all liking that gawd awful paint job and feathers all over the floor better than the one w/the pictures made out of string. I know that room was boring but the other one literally looked like a few 4 yr olds got ahold of some paint and had a pillow fight.

The Asian.

As for the feathers, it was a concept. I'm not sure it was intended to be lived in, but it was a design that pretended to be a rug. Overall, I did sort of like her design better (at least there was design there), but she failed miserably as a host.

LOL- 4 yo and a pillow fight. That is a perfect description of that room. I could understand the feathers as a concept, ok maybe but the painted wall was hideous and that wall alone should have ousted her...it was abrasive and ugly. And looked completely wrong. That room would have been inhabitable.

But the rest of the room did have some good elements. The plant wall I really liked. I did like the lamp. I could look past the feathers, and the wall could've been painted. The blonde's room, though, looked like some cheap motel room with no character at all.

The blonde's room looked like a cheap motel is right. But it wasn't offensive to my eye...just boring and without any beauty or real design but sometimes for me that is more tolerable than a messed up wall and what bothered me is she liked her blue wall and she thought it was relaxing. I think I liked the blond better so I might be biased right off the bat. Sadly I think the blond's days are numbered so at the end it really doesn't matter if she left this episode or the next.

Oh I totally liked the blonde better. While I didn't like her room, I loved her self-deprecating hosting bit. I don't think she's long for this competition but I do like her better!

I I was horrified with all the rooms. I thought it was the worst premiere EVER! no one really shined for me at all. I liked some of the changes the show has made. Not sure if I miss the overly dramatic and cheesey " your show has been cancelled" ending and the old host yet lol they also didnt show the audition process and transition to the penthouse, I wonder why?

Nina was a bit annoying with her self acclamined " confidence". I called it when I said the blonde's room looked like a jail cell. Could it be that the time restriction did everyone in?

I hope the designs get more interesting next week. On a side note, I watched David's show because I live in South Florida and I was lol at things being on Miami time... SOOO TRUE and such a frustrating part of life here. I was also wondering about the casting for his assistants. Never heard about it at all while it was going on. I enjoyed the show and loved the final project.

That definitely wasn't my style (the David room) but the homeowners obviously loved it. I was hoping for so much more with that blown glass installation on the ceiling...hopefully it looked better in real life than it did on the show.

I watched David's show as well, there were two, and I wasn't impressed with either. That orange wall with graduated color darker to lighter would have been a piece of cake for Danielle (wasn't that the name of his prior painter) and I couldn't figure out what the heck the new guy was doing to it before he finally painted white.

I guess I forgot David was from Miami, but I really wish he would have stayed on the West Coast.

I totally forgot the host was missing until I read upthread. I had asked earlier if Mark Burnett from Survivor has always produced this show or is that new this year and if so, maybe why there seem to be so many changs.

Just finished watching this show. I can't believe they didn't send Nina home. Her filmed spot was cold and boring, really terrible. I don't know why they even bothered showing the clips because they wanted to keep Nina no matter what, geesh, I'm really hating the predictability of these shows. I didn't love the girl who went home, but this Nina girl is aggressive, bossy, overbearing, and a real pain. I can't imagine anyone wanting to watch her on her own show. I missed the first week so I'm just basing this on tonight's show.

I agree Nina should have gone home for all the reasons you mentioned, and especially for her hosting spot. It was just awful. At least the other girl showed that she could walk and talk at the same time.

Nina was the same on the first show.
