Darn!

They are employed by HGTV. The people seem to be voting on this site, and it doesn't seem to be for Antonio.

I think I heard her laughing!!!

Did you see how clever he was when in the add for his show he cut the cake with a table saw? Wow, now that is creativity that is going to get me to watch his show! NOT!

Don't watch Antonio's show. The add for the first show is,"Antonio is designing his own home and next he might be coming to decorate yours!" Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HGTV has now become Sci Fy!!

She thought Dan should have won, and has vowed never to visit this website again!

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 01:44:18 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/challenge-9-meet-your-new-design-star-part-2/#IDComment34948529 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/challenge-9-meet-your-new-design-star-part-2/#IDComment34948299 You are so right! Bromstad and Dan's designs are both great!!! (and that is so different than Antonio's designs) Fri, 18 Sep 2009 01:41:37 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/challenge-9-meet-your-new-design-star-part-2/#IDComment34948299 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/challenge-9-meet-your-new-design-star-part-2/#IDComment34948157 Do you mean that the shows on HGTV were all starting to look the same because they were all starting to look good? That is how most of the people saw Dan's work as really creative inspiring designs. They were the kind that made you want to see more, the kind of design that would keep you coming back for the next week's installment. An on-line site is not going to keep me on the edge of my seat, waiting for the next online posting. It will be easy to not watch Antonio's show because his designs according to most of the blogs, (including mine), did not inspire, and were not going to entice me to watch his show. Actions speak louder than words, Don't watch Antonio's show.

Actions speak louder than words!! Dan should be given his own show because he had the superior creative designs.

But Ihis designs are quite lacking in creativity and ways to solve real problems. I am an HGTV fan, except I don't think Antonio designs the type of room I want to copy. Brondstadt and Dan are similar. They are both excellent designers. Face it HGTV, that is why we watch your shows. Good thing is when Antonio is on, the tv will be off in our house, and I will be working on my own rooms, dreaming of Dan's wonderful designs we will never get to see. Hope everyone who is complaining does the same thing. Advertisers will eventually catch on and maybe make the suggestion to bring Dan on board. One can always hope.
