I have always enjoyed watching Design Star on HGTV. Season 3 of the show premiered last night. Here are some random thoughts:
● I was upset that two of the hotties who made it to the final 39 didn’t end up making it on the show. The first cutie answered the door of his hotel room wearing nothing but a towel – nice! The second guy’s name was Frank Meli – he was cute but VERY high-strung, and seemingly obsessed with model ships and nautical themes. The judges weren’t impressed with either of them.
● Judge (and designer) Vern Yip is a cocky little bastard. But after watching him do his thing on Trading Spaces, I believe he has the talent to back up all the cockiness.
● I loved the chick who couldn’t pronounce “juxtaposition”, and also the guy who designed with the “paranormal energies” of a residence in mind.
● How annoying was Big Queen Michael Stribling? I know I’m hatin’ on a sister, but that bitch couldn’t answer simple questions like “please describe your design style”. But he COULD repeat his “catch phrase” over and over and over: “It’s official … I am amazing”. No darling: It’s official … you are ANNOYING.
● Why did they choose Nashville as the location for this season? Is Nashville known for its interior design? If they were going to go somewhere in the south, I would have thought Atlanta or Houston would have been more obvious choices. Or they could have gone to New Orleans – and focused the challenges on the ongoing rebuilding efforts there.
● I would TOTALLY watch ANY show that featured the lady who brought “her girls” – four different wigs that showed her different personality traits. HOT.TRANNY.MESS.
● Talk about tough challenges … their first task is to BUILD THE FRIGGIN’ HOUSE THEY WILL LIVE IN! They have one week and $100,000. We’ll have to tune in next week to see how it goes.
