Since I live and breath HGTV I don't care to see him on there. I think you should try out for the show, after all, you do have tv experience, decorating know-how and a great personality. :) GO FOR IT....<br /><br />Hugs<br />'D'jerseygirl211https://www.blogger.com/profile/02779277033859767629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948862230201694042.post-76791868459218622452009-08-28T23:20:35.056-04:002009-08-28T23:20:35.056-04:00I don't watch the show either, but didn't ...I don't watch the show either, but didn't especially like any of the rooms.

CaChing-CaChing) and the end result would blow any of these rooms away. She isn't or does she claim to be a Designer, therefore I have to agree with many others that these rooms are horrid. <br /><br />Re your discussion with Margaret, I agree the stress factor must be overwhelming. It's unfortunate that many Competitors do not consider the art of Meditation, Tai Chi or Yoga as a prerequisite in order to successfully participate in a show of this nature. -Brenda-mrsbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490065292054880863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948862230201694042.post-18170836418062097792009-08-25T18:04:03.689-04:002009-08-25T18:04:03.689-04:00Like I've said before, I haven't been foll...Like I've said before, I haven't been following the show, but if I'm to be honest, I hate EVERY ONE of these rooms! blech!<br /><br />Justine :o )Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07011990752073017542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948862230201694042.post-13979301819240474932009-08-25T02:29:52.720-04:002009-08-25T02:29:52.720-04:00I don't think there is anyone like Antonio on ...I don't think there is anyone like Antonio on the air, but to be honest I don't think I would intrust any of my rooms to any one of these "designers".

I've lots of friends whose kids rooms are every bit as good, if not better than these. And believe me, they were done on ALOT less than $5000.00. The only thing I can chalk it up to is the time constraint. I'm leaning toward Lonnie, but still pulling for Dan. Antonio impressed me with his room the most, but I'm still not sold. But Jason's room was really atrocious. It looked slapped together and not well thought out at all, and it's really a shame, because I think he had a good vision, just couldn't pull it off for the poor girl. The finals should be interesting - I hope someone really steps it up in the next week or two.

However as a casual observer, I really don't think any of them are even close to what a "paid" designer would have ended up with. It seems evident that no one in this group has a kid or has been around a child in quite a while. A good designer has to understand the client. Kids like what is fun and in the moment. Watch a movie or MTV for a few minutes; even the cartoon network is funny and inspiring. I vote for you Artie, where can I sen in my ballot!

I've said a couple of times that Antonio's the one to watch but will add Lonnie to the final with him. Her hosting presence was great! My prediction - Torie will be the next to leave!

Maybe HGTV should have provided painters instead of carpenters on this short timeframe,low-budget assignment. What a kick to see David Bromstad interact with each of them. <br /><br />Lonni had a huge advantage in working in a separate home. Apparently the others were designing for siblings--chaos must have ruled. Moving stuff out, moving stuff in, running into each other or the carpenters or the camera guys and their equipment, noise everywhere.<br /><br />I think maybe Dan listened the best to his client.

There is something abt Antonio that wears thin and I don't know if he has what it takes to keep me watching week after week. The same with Tori. I kind of like Dan. All in and not really thrilled or impressed with any of them. Maybe they should do a show down season where they take the 2nd and 3rd runner ups from previous years and have them compete Now that might be interesting!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09967445220516599195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948862230201694042.post-49837269410397108392009-08-24T14:12:05.732-04:002009-08-24T14:12:05.732-04:00Hey Artie!

None of them looked like they spent even half of that. I was so disappointed! None of the rooms looked like a "Designer" had designed and decorated them. The possibilities were endless! I liked Antonio's ideas but with his budget he could have really created a mancave atmosphere. Decals and painted plywood? That's it? And how in the world did Jason even get in this competition. His 17 year old client could've done better. Placemats?!? with a $5000 budget! And why didn't he keep that gorgeous bed she had? Boy! I think I'm taking this all a little too seriously! I promise to chill!
