HGTV's Design Star

Back to Nashville and another day of designing random spaces...or so we think. The beginning of the episode Clive wakes everyone up for a "yard sale" (in their own yard) and everyone must pick an item from the mess on the lawn. I must say Playboy bunny Stephanie looks all made up so early in the morning. She must have either a; slept in her makeup or b; been able to put her face on before the cameras started rolling. I don't think she put her contacts in based on the horrendous wire pink flamingo she picked out.



The designers were then taken to a large house in Nashville (where oh where can you find those) and told that the the name of the house was Oaklawn (and it was haunted). The house had four identical sitting rooms soooooo..yes you guessed it, the designers were split into teams of two and each team had to redesign one of the sitting rooms. Oh and the piece that the designers picked out from the "yard sale" had to used in their room.

Here are my main comments...

Mikey V and Stephanie are pretty people so who would have thought that their room would have looked nice (read nice not great). I am starting to like Mike and not just because he is good looking. Stephanie is still annoying and her lips are still too big.

Matt and Michael's room was the best (shock) and I think that Matt is emerging as one of my faves. Michael is too gay (is there such a thing) and I cannot listen to him speak. But, loved their room, loved it!



Oh Trish, yes she looks a little manly. Paired up with D Paul (?) their room was not awful but was a little boring. D Paul eventually went home (not fair) and I was disappointed. Loved his country boy accent. I need to keep an eye on Trish. She seems to get in everyone's business (which is not always bad) but I think she is a stirrer (of trouble).

Tracee (bless her heart) and Jennifer were in the worst room. The two of them could not get into a groove and my god the chairs that Tracee picked out were horrible. No one wants to work with Tracee and she has now cried at least two to three times an episode (minus the first when we did not know her yet).



Tracee should have gone home. As always it is fun to have a bitch but she just does not seem to have the talent and she cannot agree with anyone. But the judges felt that D Paul did a poorer job with the task at hand (?) so he was eliminated.

Side note...I read a few things on the HGTV website and they said that the stuff coming off the walls was not staged. Strange happenings in Nashville.

I am ready for an individual challenge! Later taters.
