I agree with you - I think HGTV already had a show in mind and which designer they wanted for that show and Antonio was their man- but he was definitely not the viewers man - I don't want to watch a show with a hairy tatooed 40 year old man who only wants to know who is single- the fact that they didn't let viewer vote only proves this point - won't watch his show and I have always had great respect for the judges but don't know if I will watch their show any long either - sorry HGTV you got it wrong this year
