SPOILER ALERT!!!
SPOILER ALERT!!

Just to warn people who may have missed the last few episodes.

You were totally on the money about Mike! I didn’t know Stephanie was a viewers choice person! That’s interesting. I actually didn’t watch the first episode of Design Star. It was kind of boring, but not when you wrote about it! You’re quite funny.

I love HGTV and of course watched the show. I am surprised there were few finalists than last season, but I am definitely pulling for Jennifer from Kansas. I don’t know her, but I am also from Olathe,Kansas, gotta cheer on the home team. I also like Matt and the cop. Please let Michael “I’m amazing” be the first to get his show cancelled!

Man, I missed it! But boy, Fake Robin sure does look like real Robin! By the way, I heart “Designed to Sell”, too.

Just responding to the PS: “The first-time home buyers on that episode were looking at houses in Maineville, Ohio, which is a suburb not too far from mine.” Guess what….my house was on the show! It’s on Woolstone Court. HGTV came out last summer 2007 to do some filming in the neighborhood. The crew was out in front of our home. We thought maybe it was for “Curb Appeal”. Pretty cool!

Hi Julia
Yes, we watched the show. I had a HUH? moment when D said he was making the ultimate sacrifice. I like Matt Locke, because I believe he has talent and I like his name…being the Andy Griffith fan, I am. I can’t resist those reruns!

Next episode is just before the new Rate My Space show. We’re watching out of curisosity, because we were contacted about doing an episode as inspiration for a makeover. For various reasons, we declined, but want to see what the show is all about.

I can’t wait to see the house the guys construct. This will definitely be fun.

I love this post, you dumped an extra cup or two of
personality in it. I must say that I didn’t watch design
star, but right now I feel like I did. It looks like some of
the contestants gave out the, I am acting like an idiot
and I am going to make you feel embarrassed for me
feeling. Yuck! I hope people don’t ever feel that way
about me. lol.

I love your synopsis, Julia, and I totally agree with all of it. The guy who called himself officially amazing was officially a disaster, poor guy. He must have great talent for the judges to choose him, because even after his second interview with them I never felt he was able to articulate good answers to the questions. I was definitely left with lots of questions and wanting MORE since we haven’t seen them actually design anything yet. Baby steps to Sunday, baby steps to Sunday….

You mean you can get firemen to change your smoke detector batteries? How do you arrange for this to happen? Do you just dial 911, because I think I’d like to have this service.

I’m at my boyfriend’s Seattle apartment that is decorated with African batik, wood carvings, and a wall clock shaped like Zimbabwe. In this decorator’s wasteland, there iis no cable, so I did not get to see this ep and after reading your synopsis and the comments, I’m making a vow NOT to watch this show (maybe I’ll cave for the finale) and instead read the synopsis and banter here. My theory is I’ll get all the joy with none of the annoying HGTV repetition of what JUST happened and what is GOING TO happen, which generally meanas whatever show I’m watching has only about 15 minutes of substance. I love my HGTV, but they do waste the time.

And now, back to my own little corner of Pacific Northwestern Zimbabwe.
