Ditto to the golden girls, his designs look worse than the floral and wicker themed furniture in their right-out-of-the-80's living room.

They must think we're all brain dead to think they had "technical difficulties". come up with a better excuse next time.

Antonio's designs were definitely not user friendly and trading two sinks for one is equally absurd to the people I see turning an extra bedroom into a closet. NOT an intelligent thing to do. I hope those people are okay with the value of their house going down due to the tasteless and low quality decorating they became victims of.

"problems" = they don't want to own up to a totally staged mockery of a "reality" show. Let's just shut people up before they realize that we're manipulating them.

Antonio is a total train wreck, really pathetic excuse for a show this season. Should have been down to Dan and Lonnie.

Antonio didn't have charisma, he was so obnoxious and uncouth that I won't even tune into one episode of his show.

Dan has a much better personality for TV and better, fresher, more original designs overall. I certainly won't watch Design Star again, or Antonio's show for that matter. Just offensive.
