“Top Design” Recap: Decorating Triathalon

By JULIA @ HOOKEDONHOUSES.NET

At the beginning of last-night’s episode, Eddie Ross says he wishes they would be given some individual challenges now. So do I! I understand that group challenges bring on the interpersonal drama, but it’s hard to know what someone’s style really is if they’re always working as part of a team.
Tonight our [...]

“Top Design” Episode 4: You Tell Me!

Well, guys, I’m in a hotel room in Indianapolis and didn’t have a chance to recap “Top Design” for you this week. I know, I know–I’m sorry!
I only caught about 15 minutes of last night’s episode and only know who was booted off because I read about it on Blogging Top Design. (I can’t say [...]

Top Design Recap: Clash of the Reality Show Titans

This week’s episode of “Top Design” is the one I’ve been looking forward to the most because they promised “Project Runway” alums. As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been a die-hard PR fan since the first season. I was especially excited to see Andrae (“What happened to Andrae?!” as Tim Gunn would say) and Santino from [...]

“Top Design” Recap 2: Designed to Survive

This week on Bravo’s “Top Design,” the contestants were asked to decorate well enough to not only live to see another day on the show, but to literally survive. In a bomb shelter. I’m not kidding.
I can see the producers sitting around and brainstorming ideas for decorating challenges. I can imagine that they were adamant [...]

Vegas, Baby: The Parisian Palace

Do you ever watch Million-Dollar Listing on Bravo? It’s about the three youngest, most successful Real Estate Agents in California. And it’s not very good, I’m afraid. But I watch every week anyway, just to see the houses they’re selling.
Last week Chad, who looks 18 but insists he is 30, took a client to see [...]

“Top Design” Season 2: New & Improved

Did you guys catch the second-season premiere of “Top Design” last night?
The biggest makeover was on the show itself. This was a hundred times better than last season and totally blows “Design Star” out of the water.
I’m thrilled to see the changes that they made:

India Hicks as the host is a huge improvement over Todd [...]

A House Divided on “Dallas”: The Day J.R. Was Shot

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlcSZTvW0A8]
Hold onto your cowboy hats! To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the “Dallas” premiere, I’m recapping the famous episode from 1980 that had everybody wondering, “Who Shot J.R.?”
The first thing you have to do is watch the opening credits (above). It’ll give you a little teaser of upcoming scenes from this episode, too. I bet [...]

And HGTV’s New Design Star Is…

Boy, it’s been a long road to get here to the “Design Star” finale, hasn’t it? Surely they’ll reward us for our loyalty, right?
Well, it turns out what we get for our trouble is a previously recorded show stuffed with montages, Lumber Liquidator endorsements, and a not-so-live audience. This crowd is so stale I [...]

Design Star: Rate the Former Winners

It’s only a few more hours now until we learn who HGTV’s Next Design Star is going to be. Click here to see who got more votes in our poll. It’ll be interesting to see if the rest of America voted the same way.
While we wait, I thought we’d take a look back at [...]
