I have to agree with many others, this season is pretty poor! The "designers" are very much lacking in talent AND personality. The challenges are poorly defined and very much subject to taste. Who ever gets a client to ask a designer to design a room based on a musical instrument???? The worst part of this season is the persnickity judges (esp. yip) who are not encouraging but are acting rather snobbish and are not consistent with their decisions at all. Hoping that next season they will REALLY search for a design star.

How about the beautiful coast of Maine? Very dramatic scenery!
