I found nothing interesting or appealing about him and choose not to invade my living space with his presence.

Some of us are beginning to realize this and we need to put our money and our support where our mouth is. THAT'S called integrity. We need to stop supporting things we don't really want, need or believe in. Otherwise, the media will always be calling the shots and we will continue to be puppets.

I enjoyed your sense of humor immensely!!

My daughter was on a reality show and they made her and the other contestant out to be just how they wanted them to appear. So much for 'reality'.

What's color got to do with it? Tashika was a lousy designer...whether she was black , white, purple, green, etc. It doesn't matter. She did not have it!

HA!

I don't know what your original comment was as HGTV saw fit to remove it. I suspect it was graphically truthful :o) This whole Design Star season has been a sham. So much for listening to the public. Some idiot in the corporate office must have taken a brainstorming session literally and thought adding a rude, arrogant slob without any talent to the weekly lineup would improve ratings. NOT!! I feel invaded every time I see Antonio's face on my screen. They're already promoting his show to death (wishful thinking and pun intended) and obviously it's been in production for some time now. I have NO interest in seeing that pig flaunt himself on my TV.

Hmmm. Didn't trust him with someone else's place???? I can see him making garages over into man caves but even THAT is stretching his ability to design anything of quality.

I don't know why they're saying "Meet your new design star", I sure didn't vote for him! As far as I am aware, none of us did. I think I'm going to reactivate my Netflix account... I'm tired of media manipulation. I haven't watched prime time TV in years. I thought cable would be different...I was wrong...I'm going back to movies.

There were VERY few in favor of Antonio and those were all blasted with negative votes. Also If you ever looked at the online voting you would have noticed that Dan consistently had 30% of the votes between ALL the contestants on the show and Antonio had 12%. Statistics consist of small samples....many of which are published in favor of the person doing the research too!

After I posted it, my ability to login was compromised. I was able to post comments but NOT able to vote. I had to change my user name in order to login today. I suppose by today most of Dan's fans are so disgusted that they don't see any point in further commenting (after more than 3000 responses that mysteriously disappeared), thus the 'pro Antonio' comments posting early here. The whole Design Star season was such a waste of time. I'm especially pissed off that I fell for it! It won't happen again...I see no reason to watch it through another season.

You couldn't possibly have liked ANYTHING about that master bedroom with the huge brown 'slashes' all over and that hideous green!!! Are they paying you to try to smooth things over with the vast majority who are against the judges decision? The child's bedroom looked as though a child designed (and I use the term lightly) it. So he threw a bunch of stars up on the wall...so what. It was tacky. And that living room...what a mishmash of colors and shapes. It looked like he hit a garage sale and bought EVERYTHING! I am so disappointed in this fiasco! I'm even MORE disappointed that I wasted my time watching it! Well, that won't happen again!

If they wanted to market Antonio for a show, couldn't they use another means? I guess they figured NO ONE would watch unless they made a spectacle out of it first. I certainly am NOT interested in watching that jackass on my TV screen. YUK!!!
