The other was a nightmare. The show format brought out the worst in these people, not the best they could be. That is an indictment of the show. Am still waiting for the show to allow the contestants to show their real abilities and personalities. The viewers aren't in the loop, that's for sure.

I really wish they would give that information in the show! It helps us viewers understand why there were no accessories in your rooms. That is not fair at all. I also don't understand why you guys are constantly limited to stupid group challenges. Or why you don't get any help.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02598010590005120334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402825992882722374.post-61451911110206258632010-07-27T00:07:30.635-07:002010-07-27T00:07:30.635-07:00I hope you can make it four weeks in a row because...I hope you can make it four weeks in a row because I seriously think that you will make a much better host then any of the other contestants.

They only showed a few seconds of the winning team here and there! I thought your team's designs were really pretty, the "wilted lavender" with all the subtle shininess...I bet it was really nice in person. Also, there isn't alot of consistency in the judging? Why did they zero in on Stacey's taxi under glass and not even show Casey's statue under glass? And then to make everyone work in teams with crazy objects and then hear Vern say "Some of the worst designs are design by committee." Ummm, YEAH!!! Things like that seem weird...I definitely think the right people went home though! I'm still rooting for you, you have a great lived in style, not pretentious, and not to mention you are from the Pacific Northwest which makes me kind of biased!

The amount of talent and will you have could both fit in a tourist gift bag. You're a poor excuse for a contestant, "limited" is an understatement. I wouldn't watch your show with Stacey's glassy eyes. This series somersaulted over the shark when they ejected Nina, and the ratings show that. Entertainment Value = 0. Those of you who remain are the least capable group I've seen in all seasons of DesignStar.
