Believe it. It is true. Cancelled her show because didn't want her on it with a sick child. Has Nothing to do with if it was good or not Never gave her a chance..found that her son was born with a problem, cancelled her show. Plain and simple. IT WAS NOT POSTPONED..IT WAS CANCELLED. The poor family even tried to hide it, pretend it wasn't as bad as it was, that Jen could carry on inspite of the troubles. But HGTV sucker punched them and out and out cancelled the show. NOT GOOD FOR HGTV IMAGE!!! THAT'S SICK!! SUCKER PUNCHED by HGTV is just unforgiveable. No one from HGTV, No Past Design Stars are sticking up for Jen. Why? They were told they would be fired or have their shows cancelled. So why is it the viewers aren't sticking up for this family? You can't lose your jobs! YOU JUST DON'T CARE! If I'm wrong...PROVE ME WRONG!!! GET JEN'S SHOW BACK ON THE AIR!!! STOP FEEDING HGTV'S SICK EGO. DO ONE RIGHT THING IN YOUR LIVES...HELP SOMEONE WHO CAN'T DO IT ALONE!!!!

However, it doesn't take much to sign in, just email address and password. This way pretty much cuts down on pages & pages of random, unnecessary rambling talk & gets to the heart of the matter, discussions on his one time design program. That could be a good thing and I will be interested to see where this goes on Sunday.

He didn't. He didn't get elim. so why are folks still on the blasted pergola.? It was weeks ago, it can't be changed, and it really doesn't matter now! BTW, no one said they wanted tan walls..that was Lonni not the client. Good Grief get on with today or next week and leave 3 weeks ago alone.

After having viewed all, the interviews appear to be the same one repeated over and over. I can find nothing that appears to be different & nothing after Sept. 14, 2010 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 22:08:29 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/16/dan-is-your-favorite-designer/#IDComment35034897 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/15/own-a-design-stars-home/#IDComment35031547 It is a ONE TIME SPECIAL>>>> Not his regular up and coming in Jan 2010 show Just an HGTV we wanted more special...

Happens all the time...that's how rumors are started, don't ya know?! You gave some interesting info that I wondered about , only because I know that the designers have their items for sale in places where contestants were to shop and I wondered what would happen if that item was prefered by the contestant if they would be allowed to buy it and put it in their space. Thanks for answering my question without knowing it.

Why are people bringing ethnic background, personal lives, and swear words into this blog? There must be more appropriate places to do that. I enjoy hearing comments about the lack of designs and at times the lack of just plain mind control by the contestants. I don't think this is an appropriate place for some of the ugly comments here. This has nothing to do with freedom of speech, it has to do with consideration and respect for others. Make comments on design or lack there of, or how & why they did or said certain things, but leave out the other negative garbage.
