[There's a loaded statement.] Regardless of whether the table was wrong or right for the house, 99% of the time I am against painting wood, bricks, rocks, stones, metal, etc. I like natural things to stay, well, natural so they can be appreciated as such. Totally and entirely a subjective preference thing. $500 was such a freaking deal for that large of a table too. Wow. Yes, the stools are horrible and you bet back aches are gonna happen with any amount of time spent on them. Style and function are not impossible! One of the things that really got me about the upstairs bedroom were the really, really poorly done window treatments. The 1/2 and 1/2 colored panels and the really really horrible "bow ties" on the cornices/valances were a real surprise coming from someone who'd actually made the finalists. Just, so bad.

They created an atmosphere that sort of worked anyway, even if they weren't good at finishing it right. I agree with the judges that they threw too much stuff in there. I'm glad they painted the table, but I think it would've looked better in a dark color, though I understand they were trying to make it stand out in the dark room. I didn't like the little stool seats at all though and am surprised those weren't mentioned - I mean, two people will get to sit in nice chairs to eat while everyone else will be sitting on those silly little wooden stools. I liked the pictures they chose. Did they choose the art or did they make it? I assumed they made it... Anyway, the art in the dining room with the branches was BY FAR my favorite thing anybody did in the whole house. I'm glad both of those women stayed for that reason alone.

That table was all wrong for that house. That is the kind of thing you see in a mountain chalet. And the stools look like a. they are too short for the table and b. your back would be killing you by the end of the meal. And why leave the chairs natural but paint the table? X I hated that dining room. Crying chick and Mr. "I'm Amazing!" annoy me. He watched too much Project Runway prior to the show.

It is wrong that she was allowed to stay, and CLEARLY she is only being kept for the drama. I still like Trannie Trish. Her blonde "girlfriend" is getting on my nerves though. He can go at anytime and I'd be pleased. Matt is still doing good. I was worried when he started cutting up the body but it turned out neat. Their room looked unfinished though, like Yip said. I loved the green room that Trannie and D Paul did, and though the planter she came up with was stupid, the bow-and-arrow was a monstrosity. I guess that's why he got booted. He should have left it as it was and hung it on the wall. It would have fit the masculine theme of the room. The other two rooms I wasn't impressed with, but Stephanie did come up with some innovative ways to use that flamingo. The fireman's bench was ugly.

Posts: 1807 (06/22/08 11:24 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	My only thought as to why D Paul left is that he wasted so much time on an element that wasn't even noticeable to the judges until he pointed out. I do think it was good of him to be a man and take full responsibility for it. As for Tracee, she needs to be gone. Now. I was saying earlier to someone I watch it with that while the only one I'm actively rooting for is the bald-OCD guy, I don't really have strong feelings about any of the rest--except her. Who I hate. And that cold shoulder given to her when she walked in? OUCH. There must be even more going on that we don't to know about for a group to have a hate hard-on this early in the season.

I thought he was pretty dull anyway, and I won't miss him. Tracee is a hag, but they had to keep her another week at least. She's good tv. Matt and the hot cop are the two who seem to be doing the best, but I like Steph and the tranny and the other blond who was paired up with Tracee. So I guess that's pretty much the rest of the cast that I like, minus the annoying queen.

Remember year 1? Davids awesome room with crap from a pet store? Even Todd's goofy 'smashed wave' room? Those rooms were creative and exciting. None of the 4 rooms had any real creativity. - Tranny/DPaul - I'm actually a bit surprised. I thought he was right when he said the judges would get on them for not doing anything to offset the imposing ceilings. The bow thing was awful. Their room looked ok, but certainly not what you'd expect from a designer. It looked like a room at a typical suburban house. You'd walk in and say 'hey, this is nice and comfy. Soccermom, you did a great job on this', but you'd never think that a skilled designer did a room like that. In their defense, the room looked done to me. Matt/Michael's room was COMPLETELY unfinished. Stephanie/Mikey V was completely overdone. I actually thought their room was the MOST done - not too much, not too little. - Stephanie - oh lord, too much shit. Everything about her is over the top - her makeup, her massive funbags and her accessorizing. Howzabout when they went shopping? She looked like those Bill Russell commercials in the 80s when he used to dribble a basketball in paint and splatter a canvas. She was fucking COVERED in paint. Painting isnt that hard. Maybe a drip or two, but she looked like a subway train. Oh, and her titties weigh 814 lbs each. I bet she paints those too. - Mikey V - nice idea with the picture frame molding but the scale was all wrong. The chair rail was installed way too low and the picture frame boxes were way off. There was about a 20 inch space from the chair rail to the bottom rail of the picture frame box. Looked off. - Tracee - she might actually be WORSE than her edit. It's clear that no one can stand her. How is she still there? I could understand if her talent offset her shitty personality, but no. - Matt/Michael - its clear that Matt is the guy to beat hands down, but their room was off. Black walls? Shitty old house with shitty walls. Flat black will show off ALL of the flaws. Isn't a key design basic to understand the room you are working in? The tiny little mirrors were terrible too because the scale was way off for 14' ceilings. And they completely ignored one side of the room. That should have gotten them more shit than it did. - I'll say it til this show is over - ALL of these bitches are lying about their ages. Tracee is 45 if she's a day old.

None of the 4 rooms had any real creativity. those were individual challenges it is easier to show your own personal creativity when you are working alone. and those rooms were small (compared to the rooms so far) So they have more time to be creative, not having to fill a huge space. That is why I hate the group challenges I want to see them design on their own

I came here to say pretty much everything that is in bold. I agree wit'cha 100%. Although, I actually heart the lil tiny blonde gay guy a LOT! The black walled room those two boys did was HOT! I loved it much! I wish they would have gotten rid of that Mommy Dearest Freak.. she is getting creepier, and creepier. Her thinking she is a threat, and that is why people are hating on her was hirarious, she is such a fucking idiot and clueless beyond belief... she is a nutball. Even despite that awful usage of that Bow, that guy shoulda hella stayed over her.

And I thought D-Paul's room was the best of all. Other than the bow, nothing about that room offended my taste at all. All three other rooms were offensive on one level or another. I think hot cop's was actually the worst with the stupid pointless moulding on the walls, but Matt and her majesty's black room wasn't much better...

Posts: 3771 (06/24/08 12:51 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Trannie Trish <3333 I really enjoyed her room this week, especially how she recreated her piece. I defo think she's the top female. Steph really surpised me this week. I LURVED her recreation of the flamingo. Jen is okay but I hope she stays around to the hosting challenges, because I feel she will be really good at it. If I remember correctly, the hosting challenges is where Kim went from a nobody to a contender to win. Tracee is a hag and I fucking love it. She's entertaining tv and the fact that NOBODY clapped for her when she came back was hilarous. I feel Matt or Michael will win. They both are more creative than the rest and they really have the handy skills to get things done faster, whereas the girls don't and have to go out and have someone do it for them. I don't get what is so great about the cop, other than his bod. As of yet, he really hasn't done anything impressive.

Too bad they didn't do the entire room. I respect what Matt did with that PVC body form - as long as he keeps up with the great ideas, he'll do well. IOIA was toned down this show, which was a good idea. PsychoTracee? It's almost awkward to watch her bad acting. Yeah, she's annoying, but in so many other ways apart from her psychotic bitchiness. And her room looked like some sort of funeral parlor. I see where they may have been headed, but it didn't get there. I liked Tranny and D's comfy men's club room. No, it wasn't anything "new," but I like well done comfy colors and tones. It also looked rather incomplete and lacking, though. Hell, he coulda practically just hung his bow 'n arrow on the wall and that would have been better than the "sculputure" he did. I basically have neither like nor dislike for Busty and Hot Cop's room. It did look sorta like the "women's parlor," especially after seeing Trannie and D-Paul's manly room. So Stephanie was calling part of that flamingo a "vase," but I didn't see any water container for the flowers. They just sorta looked crammed in there. Was I missing that?
