I was FF'ing through the commercials before the boot and knew I was screwed. I started watching about 20 min. after it started, dammit.
I usually add 5 extra min. to everything, but I spaced it

It's too bad that Bravo never reruns their shows.
 It was a little ridiculous this week--you could almost guarantee a rerun of Top Chef at any given time, except btwn the hours of 3am and 8am when it's only infomercials from Bravo. They gotta make that cash somehow, Kenmore ain't payin all the bills... |

Could we have about 10 more minutes of the Gaysian saying he doesn't want to leave? I don't think they made that clear enough this first episode.
Mucho Macho Heterosexual Matt is so straight. I bet he only designs closets that never open. I don't think Alexis 'used to be' a man -- I think she still is. Somebody lie down on the sand and look up while she swings on her swing. |

the tim gunn of this show SUCKS. fire him fire him if there's a second season.
the only reason the gayboy-bearguy team was kept was because of their drama - clearly their room sucked ass the space that came second was too typical modern minimalistic yuckyness that every gayboy has in their apartment (including me). totally not worth second place asian bedroom sucked too - no design elements other than picking out all the asian pieces from the store and throwing them in the room. the wacky sandbox/swing room was nice i guess. eh, nothing's wowed me over so far. HGTV's design star was better |

The sad part about Todd Oldham is Trump will just add his name to the list of people who tried to copycat him and failed.

I would never be comfortable and peaceful in the sandbox room with the swing. Can't believe it won. ick
I would've wanted lots and lots of overstuffed couches and chairs and a fireplace and a bar and a big screen tv, and surround sound music stereo thing, but that's just me. I don't go for the miminal look with no electronics and a babbling brook waterfall thingy. |

Quote: I agree. That room was totally useless. I'm not sure any of the rooms successfully solved the problem. And I would liked to have seen the eliminated designers split between the teams. The old broad and idiotic queen should have gone home. I have a feeling the idiotic queen will be around for a while even though he's worthless. Damn, John used to go to my gym, and I've seen him out and about for years. He really got fat. I liked the judges. Tod Oldman needs to find his comfort zone, but I think he'll do very well once he settles in. Overall, I liked it. |

OMG. that sandpit swing shit was AWFUL! For the love of GAWD no one wants a damn sandbox in the middle of the floor. Fill it with kitty litter and you've got a ready made toilet for the cat!
I really liked the Chineses Wedding bed itself, but it was awful in that room. Seriously. Todd Oldham needs to be shot RIGHT between the eyes. I like the bitchy magazine editor, Margaret??, she's the poor designers NinaGarcia! |

i agree, Todd Oldham SUCKED as a host. His soft, up-and-down voice sounded like he was talking to a 3 year old while reading cue cards. I didn't notice his grill since i tried not to look at him.
Everyone seems to have the same odd contemporary style that doesn't appeal to most people-especially when it's not done well. I think all the rooms sucked and I was underwhelmed with the show. I'm so tired of people being selected for these reality shows just for drama/controversy. The guy who's never picked up a paint brush is annoying enough to keep me from watching...get some real people with real talent not just drama queens (with the emphasis on "queens"). |

I thought the show sucked. I'll give it another shot, though, as I love watching interior design shows. But, the judges and Todd Oldham have no on-camera presence. And Alexis was a bore as well.

I'm excited that Todd Oldham is host - I'm hoping that he's just a little uncomfortable, but if you've seen his design shows, that's pretty much how he always talks when it's scripted.
I'm also watching because I hope he'll bring on Amy Sedaris, a good friend of his. I don't think she knows much about interior decorating, per se, but she's absolutely hilarious. |

Quote: In her new(est) book I Like You, she's proven to be quite crafty and charming in a non-Jerri Blank sort of way. There's actually large chunks of the book that could be construed as "interior decorating" material. My first thought upon hearing that Todd Oldham was hosting was that Amy might make an appearance (as sad as that may sound). Isn't he also friendly with SJP? Not that I could see her on this show. |

Todd Oldham reminded me of the voice in the health movies we saw in school.
"And the egg travels down the fallopian tube..." |

Oh my God...Little Gay Gargoyle Michael needs to go.
What I find interesting is that in order to be a successful designer, you either need to be a fetus-faced gay male (Seriously, EVERY gay has a fetus face) or mid-30s or older woman. Carissa and Ryan are the ONLY two exceptions. But yeah, Bravo reality competition shows are like crack to me. |

Yeah, that one judge (the editor) is a toal bitch. You knew they were going to keep Team Douchebag because, well, they're both douchebags. Hated both of them. I think it was also obvious that team China Jade was going down. I like that at least Heather realized it was stupid to not speak up against Lisa's ideas and not just place the blame on Lisa. I liked Andrea and Ryan.
I absolutely hated Todd Oldham. He doesn't know how to speak properly. It sounds like he accents the wrong syllables. It's weird that as soon as I heard his voice, I recognized him from an episode of Roseanne. It's where Roseanne and Jackie go to a spa (after they win the lottery). He plays himself (acted horribly) and gets kneed in the balls. |

^Yes I remember him from that episode of Roseanne too! Only thing was that I didn't notice his fucked up grill back then.
