Imagine Disneyworld with a country/French quarter theme, then enclose the whole thing under glass....Truely the worst of Las Vegas meets Disney. Desite acres and acres of tropical plants you'll never find a more artificial environment. I just spent a week in this hotel….UGHLY!

They will probably change it after the taping! very good recap!! love to read your posts about my favorite show–i agree with you all about the rooms being really boring.

We can't ALL love modern and contemporary, right? I think I just recently saw a room that I would call Shabby Chic and it was being touted as "budget glam" or something. Great recap. I think the best drama was just the fact that the "wrong" team did a better job. I liked Team Trish's chairs, but not their bar stools. I actually did like the stencil. I think the scale of it made it pop and it detracted from the ugly stools! I can't believe we're having a double elimination this next episode. Too much too soon, it seems. I do like Matt the best. He is cute, talented and seems like a great guy. Perhaps Shabby Chic has a new name, but surely it is still a viable decorating strategy? We can’t ALL love modern and contemporary, right?

No more drama. Shabby Chic - SO not in except maybe at the beach. Sure, Steph deserved to go home, but gollie - when is Tracee going home?!?! I thought the judges would HATE the stenciled wall - I'm iffy on it...Maybe the judges didn't actually love the wall just the overall suite since it was so much better?? Maybe... Boring.

Shabby Chic?.. . who picked this?....THAT is probably why Cynthia Rowlings was chained to the judges desk with that thing around her neck. I'm sure she had to be restrained to discuss Shabby Chic for an hour... I'm surprised none of them did something creative with the curved room, partitions? built-ins? and no, I was NOT crazy about Tracee's stencils. I think Jen's whole team messed up, they went to the furniture store a total of 4 times with wads of cash and couldn't find any cream couches that fit? meanwhile, the other team found two on the first trip? NOT impressive ... and poor Jen needs some VO5 hot oil treatment, stop the damage! And maybe its just me, but I'm not sure why that combination of a tangy orange wall with that Turquoise desk was GENIUS. In the end, the winner will be whoever paints a wall black and gets a Turquoise shabby chic desk.

You were right on. This is a fun show to watch. I did really like the 2nd room that they did. I thought it all came together very well & yes, I was pretty skeptical about the stenciling that Tracee was doing, but after I saw it in the room, I thought it looked pretty good. All in all, a fun episode to watch! Rhoda Hey, I just watched it last night, so your recap was fun to read! You were right on. This is a fun show to watch.
