He's so charming and genuine. Meg is okay, but I really like Karl the best.

It's obvious that she's bossy, hard-headed, conceited and brags too much. If she leaves tonight, I won't be upset at all.

I really enjoy watching the show and this year, you made it hard, but I watched anyway because I’m a die-hard fan. Bring back Clive if he accepts your asking. Go back to showing a real kitchen design in a real home. Give more individual contests throughout the season to show better designs from each contestant. Go back to showing bloopers and mishaps that we didn’t see during the finale. I’d love to have seen some of the off-camera tears & jeers. I'm a creature of change, but not this drastic. Vern said he only began to see Emily’s talent towards the end of the rivalry. Hey VERN, that’s because no one could spread their wings until they worked alone. And again I’m happy that Emily won. And what happened to the confetti and/or balloon drop to add to the excitement in the end and show their families and loved ones. THIS IS MY FINAL RANT, maybe. And I hope someone takes heed and listen to us, Thank you, SweetLesa.

I’m satisfied with something. I didn’t enjoy the entire season, but at least I got some happiness at the end with Emily beating Michael. Whew! So glad it’s over. Good Luck Emily and best wishes with your endeavors.

Her presentation was great, IMO. And Tom's style was great to choose from. Winner or not, I like her.

Good Luck!

You don't have to share every thought. I'd sit and drink tea & with Candice on any given day, but not Dr. Laura.

Michael picked Nina and now he hates it. ____I love Emily's team. They're all easy to get along with and I hope her plans work out. I know it's a done deal, but I really hope she wins tonight. Mon, 23 Aug 2010 02:11:15 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2010/08/20/sneak-peek-finale/#IDComment94751714 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2010/08/15/dooces-recap-does-anyone-have-a-tomato-i-can-throw/#IDComment93393588 Okay, now I have SOMETHING to say. I'm still speechless knowing that Michael has made it to the finals. I don't like him at all. And it's not because he's flamboyant. It's because of his attitude. I hope Emily beats the pants off of him.

I'm speechless & thank God, it's almost over. :$ Mon, 16 Aug 2010 03:09:43 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2010/08/15/dooces-recap-does-anyone-have-a-tomato-i-can-throw/#IDComment93390629 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2010/08/13/sneak-peek-episode-9/#IDComment93175700 I am a big fan of DB's "ColorSplash". I am a fan of KM's "Myles of Style" whenever she's on. Don't know where to find Jen. I didn't get into Antonio's TV show, but I later watched his episodes on the net (some were good & some were not so good). But this time, I really don't know if I'll be an admiring fan of Emily, Casey or Michael's show. I don't hate to say this. . . . Michael annoys the heck out me, his whining urks me and frankly they all need some major help. I've given up at being hopeful on Sundays at 10/9 p.m. (unless they replace DS with something better). Somebody please surprise me and do something GREAT with the glass rooms. And I would love to see what Courtland could've done in this challenge.

I hated Emily's 'chandelier'. I mean I really hated it. And after looking at the episode again on today, I noticed Casey's upholstery. It was well thought out, but the execution was horrible. And Vern seemed to have taken a strong liking to her designs for some apparent reason. Mon, 9 Aug 2010 20:20:09 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2010/08/08/dooces-recap-hes-going-to-confession-for-that-one/#IDComment91817380 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2010/08/08/dooces-recap-hes-going-to-confession-for-that-one/#IDComment91816301 First of all, I didn't say he mispronounced the chef's name. Read again. I said he forgot the chef's name, altogether. But according to Vern, his first name is pronounced 'Ar-rone' and not the way it's spelled, Aaron. I went back and looked at their hosting segments and Michael is the only one that said the whole name correctly. Emily didn't mention his name at all and Casey only said, Chef Sanchez. And in actuality, none has performed extraordinarily well throughout the show. But Courtland, IMO has/had potential abilities far more than the other three that was left standing. The last three should have been Courtland, Casey and Michael because I really, really hated that faux pas chandelier that Emily created. Mon, 9 Aug 2010 20:13:07 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2010/08/08/dooces-recap-hes-going-to-confession-for-that-one/#IDComment91816301 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2010/08/08/dooces-recap-hes-going-to-confession-for-that-one/#IDComment91674524 Right now I'm kinda drained with the same-old, same-old stuff each week from 'Design Star' and I'm thankful that it's almost over. I'm not giving up watching it, just drained because of the mundane season this year. Hopefully, whomever make it to the end, will become a better television designer and host with help of a great cast & crew. I am gonna miss Courtland and I really liked him. And I was wondering if he lost as a result of forgetting the chef's name (Aarón Sanchez). Because I remember Vern saying that hosting is a big part of their (Vern, Candice, Gen) 40 plus combined years of designing and it was one of the major factors in their judging.

I ♥ LOVE ♥ YOU, David Bromstad. Because you're gorgeous, truthful, talented and smart. You will always be my favorite Design Star. And you are so correct again, both kitchen designs were so boring and safe. IMO, they had too much hodgepodge to make up for the lack of color in the paint/back-splash/cabinetry. No one, and I mean none are willing to step outside the box and say, "Okay I'm gonna take a risk and get bold". I say go bold or go home.

Does competition includes being rude, nasty and arrogant? Hopefully Emily and/or Michael leaves next. I'm not gonna give up on Design Star. Better luck next year. But really, I pray to God that someone shines with true talent on next week.

Looks like Casey and Michael won that argument. Never noticed the picture above until you mentioned it. Great find.

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 16:14:19 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2010/07/30/sneak-peek-episode-7/#IDComment89797158 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2010/07/26/davids-vlog-stacy-who-are-you/#IDComment89022658 You're talking about "Trading Spaces". I loved that show and I really hate it's not on anymore. I liked every room Vern re-decorated and I can only recall one room I liked from Genevieve but nothing else. I'm not that into her designs as I am with Candice and Vern. Vern has a lot of skills, I've seen him do some carpentry and architectural work during those days with great execution. And Candice is great with all of her designs. Some of the neighbors that did the switch-a-roos had more skills than the Design Star contestants.

You are so correct. DESPICABLE I say, just DESPICABLE. They all fail with those souvenirs, IMO. If Trump, Sr. had been there instead of Trump, Jr., he would have said, 'YOU'RE ALL FIRED".
