How is protesting an unfair decision (acutally a "rigged" one) against the obivous winner, Dan, being over wrought and hasty? It's all about being fair and honest! HGTV has opened a can of worms on this one in addition to quickly becoming one of the biggest "rerun" channels around. In fairness, I talking about shows pre-2009, not current shows repeated for convenient viewing.
Sadly, he didn't win!!! Not only were his designs mediocre the outcome reeks with the possibility of being pre-determined. Corporate America controls "ALL" these days. That's why the viewers' vote was removed from the equation. So be it ! I certainly won't watch the Antonio show, in fact I may not ever again watch Design Star.....it seems to be on a downhill slide.
I am appalled by the judges' decision to select Antonio. Dan is without doubt the most talented in every respect. Maybe the judges think that middle America will like Antonio since all their taste is in their mouths also. The Antonio show is NOT one that I'll be watching.
