The only good room he ever did was the one from the first episode with Will. He certainly had a better personality than Todd and maybe he would've made a better host than Kim (although personality doesn't mean you'll make a great host), his solo rooms/concepts were ugly. I don't know. This is not like Lee Ann or Austin not making Final 3 on their respective shows, IMO.

While I still think in the long run that Will > Kim, you can't say that any of them got robbed either.

Kim should not even be there. PERIOD. Sparkle's gazillion hot-glued compacts > dogcrap on a stick > Rob's gay swedish flag > Kim's designs

Obviously not or he'd still be there. He couldn't even get Mr. and Mrs. Tacky-To-Be to buy into his "fabulous" design concept. And based on what he's offered since the first episode, Will clearly carried him on the first task.

Hot hosts = goodness. - 'Deserving' Family 1. One is a coal miner. Sorry, there are people in this country who dont make a lot of money. Shit happens. First of all, they owned a house - shitty or not, that's better than many people who will never own their own home. Secondly, they had a big ass TV. No money for some new $14 metal blinds at home depot, but enough for a big ass TV. Oh, the wife coulda cleaned up and been pretty hot. - 'Deserving' Family 2 - the firefighters. They have 6 kids and rarely see each other due to different shifts. Am I supposed to feel bad for that? Most husbands would love only seeing their wives twice a week! And the use of 'hero' because they are firefighters. Hey, I'm all for supporting firefighters and can appreciate that what they due is hard and dangerous, but the use of 'hero'? Two of the guys who play on my softball team are fireman and I don't know that I'd consider them 'heroes' - just dudes. Last time I checked, they get paid for what they are doing. - 'Deserving' Family 3 - the sick girl. Yeah, that sucks, but she had great spirit. But, her parents owned a house in Livermore (East Bay San Fran) - that ranch house was probably $700K. Whereas it sucks for the challenges they've had to endure their entire child's life, it didnt look like they were living in a shack eating Alpo because of it (ala Extreme Home Makeover). - Now, on the BLATANT fucking plug. Did you notice the commercials that Vern (a judge on the show) has a new show coming out called DESERVING DESIGN. The whole challenge was a dopey plug, not some philanthropic exercise. - Will's Room - Nice design. Looked familiar. Oh yeah, I saw it in a display on the 2nd floor of the Schaumburg IKEA last week. Not to mention that, by the TV area, there were two items of furniture that came together than no wheelchair can traverse it's way through. - Todd's Room - a big fucking blah. First, he complained of 'orange' and then noticed him painting over white walls. Any designer or person who's ever watched a design show should know that you prime the walls using dark grey primer before painting red. I makes the color more true and avoids at least one, possibly two additional top coats. Not to mention that his friggin furniture was massive. I over powered the whole room. Oh and once again, building finish carpentry out of shitty #2 grade pine framing stock. Bad. - Kim's Room - what was with those dopey ass angles? Not to mention, they have a toddler. Nothing in that room said that the room was decorated with the lifestyle of those people. Also, the guy is a dirty ass miner who gets soot and shit on everything. Why did she go with a very light carpet? Why not do something nice and durable like laminate flooring with some area rugs? Hideous. Looked like a bad lobby of bad hotel trying to be 'rustic' - Todd's leather pants - yes, already been said. This fucknut has watched too many episodes of Extreme Home Makeover. I was expecting him to come out with a bullhorn. - Kim still sucks. Ok, she's got personality. Who gives a shit. She's short fat and ugly. Candice Olsen has personality, but she's 45, fine and 6'8". - Will's exit was nice. Not sure what life lesson the girl taught him, but it seemed to make and impact. Good on him. Dude seems to have class. - This season officially sucked ass. For all of the hype and bazillion commercials they played, this shit lasted like 3 weeks. It literally just started a few weeks ago and its already over next week? Suckage. - Oh, and the 'bring Sparkle back' crowd - his shit wasn't that good. Sorry, his first with Will was good, but his last two shit the bed. I think his flashy Sigfried and Roy image causes some people to THINK he's better than he really is. Kinda like people think some defensive lineman are better and meaner just because they have mean looking intimidating tattoos.

The food network worked it like that one of their shows. The off-camera producers huddle at the end of each show, and probably feed the judges the lines they want said about the contestants concerning their on-air performance. But, yeah, quick show..

Thinking back, all I remember about her was she did a lousy job in all the team challenges where she had to lead, and I remember her complaining in confessionals. She was alright, I guess. As for Austin, I sort of enjoyed seeing him and his other smug pals derailed by Pepper (his recent whining about the shame of appearing on Battle of Network Reality Stars after he is only famous because of cheesy reality TV makes me even happier he did not win). Will was rough around the edges, but he had the natural connection with the camera underneath the roughness, and he had a likeable quality about him. Todd is very slick, very phony, he almost seems to alienate the camera. He seems desperate. He also is much more in love with his leathery chest than he should be. Kim is just there.

I'll stop mentioning Sparkle if you stop mentioning Christina. Otherwise, at your post. But first let me say this. At first glance I thought the dude from Tennessee was way over the top with his high maintenance look, over-blown hair, faux silk shirts, and tight pants. I was poised to bring on the hate. But then he made me laugh during his audition. He had charisma and charm for days and a sense of decency about him despite his persona. You could tell he didn't take himself nor his style too seriously. His designs on his site and on the show are not not for the ordinary crowd. I myself wouldn't have a big ass chandelier nor anything fur in my house, let alone glittery baubles of any sort. Not me. I'm more of a solid white with one red chair. But I loved Josh's spirit. He made stuff fun. He injected humor and whimsy in his designs that the judges failed to see. Hell I didn't even get it at first. He was a joy to watch. He exuded class and grace. He never griped, balked, or threw a hissy fit, which he prolly could have given he looks like he could be a Diva if he chose that way to live. That he didn't surprised me; on the contrary he seemd to be full of humility. Will's nick after the first ep is an apt one b/c it not only reflects Josh's design style but also his inner qualities, something rare in the age of Media Whores. If you can check out his exit speech. TOTAL CLASS ACT. I'm not ashamed to say I'm still hooked and wish him a lifetime of success and joy. Don't ever lose your inner twinkle, Sparkle!

AND I think Will is probably the best designer of the final 3, but his "hosting" was really painful to watch Will's room was better, but Kim's hosting was better. I still would have kept Will in the Final 2 myself, but I guess they figured that they couldn't teach hosting skills while they could teach the winner how to be a designer? Really, the ideal contestant would have been Will's style + Kim's personality. I'm rooting for Todd at this point because he's a more complete package than Kim. The whole challenge was a dopey plug, not some philanthropic exercise. Yeah, except for the fact that this was also the Final 3 challenge last season. I suspect the challenge inspired the show, not the other way around.

Candice Olsen is actually being used as an example of a good HGTV host? She has personality, yes, but it's an ultra-annoying one. And I guess she's fine if you're into ostriches. She has cool designs, but I cannot stand watching her show. Sweeda ... ba da da da da ... Ugh! Now that horrible theme song is stuck in my head!

And the flaming 'sewing expert' drives me nuts. But the rooms she does simply kick ass. Everything she does just impresses the shit out of me. Candice is like 45 years old, has two babies and is 9 ft tall, but is still in great shape. I dont know why, but she's got this interesting Amazon thing going on. There's a sports talk show host here in Chicago who is obsessed with her. But come to think of it, most hosts on these shows suck. Kirsten Cunningham is very hot (and incredibly cute) since she lost all that weight, but her voice is nails on chalkboard. Then there's all the dopey Canadian dorks hosting all the other Canadian shows. The worst is that chick on the bathroom re-do show who fucking SCREAMS every line. She reminds me of the Natalie Portman 'Jamba Juice' sketch on SNL. Yeah, pretty much all hosts suck

Easily better than some of the shit that shows up on DESIGNERS CHALLENGE (where episodes often feature some trust-fund baby "all growed up" paying some hack an insane amount of money for some fugly shit).
