Well, it’s finally time to vote on who will be HGTV’s next design star. It isn’t even this hard for me to choose when I’m voting for a President. I guess it’s a different story when I like both of the candidates.
The only sour note on tonight’s episode was when they brought back the previous contestants. I thought that we had gotten rid of Rob for good. I felt bad that Kim had to work with him. Then he switched to Todd’s team on the next day & I felt bad for Todd. Rob was pretty low key though. Kim handled it with extreme grace, I think she should win just for that.
The challenge was to design a hotel suite in Hawaii. Todd’s room was inventive as usual, but it looked more like a four year olds room than a penthouse suite. Kim’s room looked both elegant, unique, & functional. However, she was going to leave this awful gray carpet in the room, I think just because she doesn’t have the carpentry skills. Todd & Kim both have amazing TV personalities, but I don’t know what kind of design knowledge either of them could impart to the average TV viewer. I already know how to shop, I don’t need any help with that. Who did I vote for? I’ll never tell.
