I thought her design rocked this week...well, before she drew all that line crapola all over the place. I think Emily was right about the drawing. The judges got it wrong this week. I don't really care whether she can get along with anyone. She just needs to get along with the clients. If she'd drawn that stuff all over my wall, I would have made her remove it at her expense.

I think a couple of the individuals came to the forefront this week. And I have to agree with you about the individual competitions. They are always so much better.

seems like they are more interested in $$$/drama than finding anyone with real design talent.

amen

How very interesting that I am the 5th commenter. HGTV/Design Star please take note of this fact. Usually there are at least 100 comments. If I were management for HGTV I'd be pretty worried about my job.

SO, really, if Nina did all that wavy drawing/painting on my walls, I'd be really upset. I thought her design rocked BEFORE she put the other crapola up there. Emily was right about the line drawings. The judges got it WRONG.

Was Casey present during this design week? I did not hear her speak or see any part of her design. Seems to me someone else (Kim Myles) skated through the competition being quite and below the radar.

I'm so sick of all this backstabbing. It's like watching politicians. HGTV, you've gone so wrong with this show. You need to get away from the "drama" and back to some real "design" competition.

Why is Nina always picking on Stacey? Can't she just do her design job and shut up?

Therese, how sad that your hood doesn't enjoy the outdoors. Not enough privacy???

Who are Mary and Watson? lol

Oh come on Linda. Do you mean the antler/wood chandelier was not your most fav from the 2009 BC???

Welcome Chuck and thanks for the vlog.

Tingoat: If I understand Joan's post correctly, I think she was saying she would have long steps, the length of the deck, going off the back instead of off the side of the deck. You could put flower pots on each end of the steps and maybe 2 clustered together in the middle in front of the steps that would "caution/alert" people. Maybe put a handrail in the center of the steps also. And once people were aware of where the steps were located, it would no longer be a problem. Of course, you'd need some lights installed on the steps for night time use.

I rather like her idea of moving the steps to the back of the deck. You could always have stairs going off the side also. Maybe those would lead towards the garage.
