Perhaps HGTV executives think that their viewers are stupid and won't notice that the judges were skewed in Antonio's favor. Just as the show was edited to show what they wanted it to show, are the posts now being 'edited' to show that viewers are pleased with the coronation of Antonio? I'm sure Antonio is talented but it was quite apparent that he is a bully and didn't play well with others. Look at the tape from the final show. He tried to initiate a group hug with his carpenters and workers and they all just stood there unresponsive. If HGTV wanted edgy, they should have created a show for Todd Davis who lost to Kim Myles in Season Two. Talk about creative. That guy came up with ideas that were unique.
