Very sad to read your efforts of getting the FCC involved, were not to your benefit. Good for you to come to terms with it and realize that you do have a right. The right to simply not watch Antonio's show. Now if only others will take your lead and quit feeling sorry for themselves and poor Dan. I myself, feel sorry for Dan because he is probably ecstatic about having an online show, yet so few are happy for him. Goodness, is anyone ever satisfied? I think Dan is a Fantastic designer and I will definitely be watching him online. Same goes for Antonio. He too, is a Brilliant designer and has something great to offer. I think that amongst all the name calling, dirt slinging, so on and so forth, people forgot that Dan and Antonio are 2 human beings just like us. No matter how nice some people are, it's the mean things people say which stay with someone for a long time.

Let me hear what you have to say in your defense about that. Thu, 1 Oct 2009 12:20:32 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/16/dan-is-your-favorite-designer/#IDComment36718811 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/16/dan-is-your-favorite-designer/#IDComment36718211 Hey Susan, I'm not the one who said how HGTV deceived me and that I couldn't bring myself to watch Candice's show. Talk about pettiness and anger. And please, do not assume I work for HGTV, to try to validate your foolish remarks. You made them, don't you believe in what you say? It's unfortunate, but you are the one who has to deal with the fact that not everyone sees it your way. You said you were married, does your husband know that you feel as though you were fooled by HGTV and that you cannot bring yourself to watch Candice's show anymore? Perhaps if you read him your comments, he may help you realize how petty you are. Maybe you'll see it his way. You go ahead and keep shaking your head in disbelief, as I will do also at how ridiculous some people are to have an outcome of a competition dictate their lives.

Comfort in making people realize how foolish they sound----AS in my repeating their petty remarks. I don't how I lost you, but obviously I did. I'm not wrapped up nor am I desperate. Sorry to inform you, but the majority has to deal with the outcome of Design Star, not me. I'm happy with the outcome. As I said before, Antonio and Dan were my two favorite designers and they both won.

Guest is the one who said, they were finding comfort in seeing the majority on this blog still value honesty and intregity. Well, I'm finding comfort in making people realize how foolish they sound. See if someone is not the majority, then according to Guest, that person does not value honesty and integrity. Let me fill you in Susan, I too am gentle, easy going, hard to get angry type of person, and I'm shocked that some people are having an outcome of a competition dictate their lives. So what, your favorite designer didn't win, it's not the end of the world. I assure you, it was not done intentionally toward you, guest, or anyone else. Why must you take it as though it were? That is what I mean by foolishness. Now perhaps you'll realize the difference between that and anger.

If you took it as anger, well then, maybe you were angry when you made the statement. Whatever it might be, I assure you I'm not angry with you. FYI, I am a Dan fan. Have been since the beginning of DS season 4. He and Antonio were my favorites and no, I do not feel betrayed what-so-ever by HGTV, Candice, Vern, or Genevieve. I think they got it right and America did as well. We got Antonio and Dan and I am definitely not angry.

Why that would be you dpisme. See, I posted here first and of course you had to find me. So much for your claim!!! It must really bother you that your advice wasn't of much use to that poster and now you have no choice but to try and berate me. You can try as much as you like, but your words are like poison, and have no merit. Shame that Susan hasn't noticed you before on these blogs. Lucky for you, unlucky for her. Thu, 1 Oct 2009 02:21:44 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/16/dan-is-your-favorite-designer/#IDComment36672113 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/16/dan-is-your-favorite-designer/#IDComment36671551 Susan, I have to ask you, where in my comments is there any indication of anger? I am stating exactly what you wrote. You said you feel betrayed, HGTV used DS to develop alternative programming, you will not watch Candice's show ever again, and that you plan on not tuning in next season of Design Star. Where is the anger please? Don't tell me in the word foolishness? If so, then perhaps you should reread the comments you made from another point of view, not your own and you might realize why I said the word foolishness. As for anger, you're the one who expressed it in your comments, I only repeated them so you could realize how foolish you sounded. Obviously it made you think, or else you wouldn't have become so ANGRY with me having brought your attention to the fact. You even go so far as to tell me to get a life. Again, who is angry here? I know I'm not.

I do think rmwarde did find my advice somewhat helpful so I'm glad I offered some info.

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 17:49:42 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/16/dan-is-your-favorite-designer/#IDComment36628228 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/16/dan-is-your-favorite-designer/#IDComment36627642 SSherron, do you really think HGTV made Antonio look like a hero and Dan a villan? If so, then why is it that most of the comments say Antonio bullied his way about everything? I think you people are mad because HGTV made it look as though Dan was going to win and to your surprise he didn't. Seems as though several viewers underestimated HGTV's element of Surprise!!!

Have you no where else to turn guest? Goodness your life must be really empty.

HGTV did it all on purpose. You cannot watch Candice's show again? Seems like you don't watch at all because if you did you would surely know her show is on for 30 minutes and not an hour as you stated. Do skip DS next year for your own foolishness. Wed, 30 Sep 2009 17:33:41 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/16/dan-is-your-favorite-designer/#IDComment36626892 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/16/dan-is-your-favorite-designer/#IDComment36626481 You people are truly pathetic. Do you base your life around HGTV? If HGTV loses viewers such as you well then, it hardly should be considered a loss.

You must have just crawled out of your can. I'm sure everyone will be informed when his show will be scheduled. Nice to see your inquiry. Wed, 30 Sep 2009 17:20:45 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/16/dan-is-your-favorite-designer/#IDComment36625487 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/16/dan-is-your-favorite-designer/#IDComment36625110 Wow---bummer! I'm sure Antonio's REAL show will be toned down for the HGTV viewers. As for us seeing his true self and knowing the truth, gee whiz Mary j. give the guy a break. He was only trying to be funny. I think it's people like yourself who think it was more than intended. I guess you learned something from the FCC. Wed, 30 Sep 2009 17:15:44 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/16/dan-is-your-favorite-designer/#IDComment36625110 http://devblog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/24/antonio-answers-your-questions/#IDComment36559509 Yeah, it plays a role alright. According to you, it is the LAST thing to be considered in a space. dpisme, you are a REAL DESIGNER, right? Well, I have no idea who you are trying to fool, but from your responses, you haven't a clue as to what REAL design is all about. The less you speak about your so-called abilities the better off you'll be. Stick to just insulting people and stop offering people bad advice. Wed, 30 Sep 2009 02:39:44 +0000 http://devblog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/24/antonio-answers-your-questions/#IDComment36559509 http://blog.hgtv.com/HGTVersus/2009/09/06/challenge-8-celebrity-homes/#IDComment36558854 You hate to be challenged don't you? Too bad you do it to yourself with your rotten mouth. I guarantee I have and will continue to design more livable and beautiful spaces than your mind could ever fathom. From your posts, it doesn't take a genius to figure out how difficult you are to work with. I'm sure you have next to no clientele. I keep forgetting, that people like you who have to voice their negative and misleading opinions CONSTANTLY, were probably neglected and often dismissed as a child. In other words, seen and not heard. You sure are making up for lost time. Too bad it still needs to go in one ear and out the other. Face it dpisme, there is no hope for you. You are a lost cause.

Denjo has called your bluff and you cannot wiggle your way out of it. You honestly thought Dan would not be able to assist someone with their room? And you claim to have Ego control?????? NOT!!!!!!!!!!! Tue, 29 Sep 2009 22:00:04 +0000 http://devblog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/24/antonio-answers-your-questions/#IDComment36536880
