As most of you know I ♥ HGTV. I watch it religiously. What ever I’m going through in life I can turn on HGTV and tune out all other distractions. They have this new layout and new designer judges. I really miss Clive. Vern is an absolutely meanie these days. He’s not very complimentary which makes sense because as of yet we haven’t seen a lot to compliment on.

My opinions on the designers are below. In the order they’re listed on www.hgtv.com.

Alex Sanchez – He graduated from a University in lovely NC. He’s young but seems motivated and talented for his age. He has a degree in architectural engineering. People shouldn’t underestimate him.

Casey Noble – I’ve said it all along. She’s cute. She’s charming and she’s the green horse. She’ll come out shining. She looks like Reese Witherspoon and she doesn’t get into the conflicts. Watch out for this one. She’s a star.

Courtland Bascon – I know he’s straight & I get the feeling that him trying to convince others that he is straight is going to grow tiresome. The man cleavage irks me like no other. When his paint color is on the mark it is brilliant. When it is off, it is WAY OFF! He’s from LA so, I like him what can I say.

Dan Faires – His rustic charm designs totally capture my heart. I love this table and those chairs are just charming.

Dan will get voted off because he is a true Southern Gentleman. When he needs to tell someone to do it themselves or just flat out say no he won’t. I don’t think it is in his nature to be mean. Which means everyone will be singing praises to his parents for doing such a great job in raising him. He’s my favorite. If he doesn’t win the outright show, I’ll vote for him daily http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv-design-star-vote-for-your-favorite-designer/package/index.html because I would totally watch his online show. If I had an extra 2,000 to blow I’d buy one of his tables from www.capsulefurniture.com but well, I just bought a house.

Emily Henderson – She’s a doll. “A dolphin will eat a shark.” My dear Emily no Nina can’t touch you. You’re far more creative. Your designs are far superior and you’re a true sweetheart. My children are total Dan Faires fans but they pull for you & Stacey too. I might be pulling for Dan, you & Casey but children have a mind all of their own. Do great work and you will go far in the competition. Any woman that can say my design isn’t up to par and correct it is a true woman in my book. That and you throw down the law on the YELLOW WALL! Emily rocks my socks.

Julie Khuu – you put feathers on the floor. Your dominance in the fan vote scares me.

Michael Moeller – I’m not sure what to make of this guy yet. His designs that won him a spot on the show are very urban and edgy. I like it but I’m not sure what I think about him just yet.

Nina Ferrer – Right out of the gate from the very first episode I didn’t like Nina. That’s ok because unlike most viewers I don’t like her designs anymore than I like her personality. Enough said.

Stacey Cohen – She seems to be my children’s favorite next to Emily & Dan. She said Nina was a bleep and argues with her. Can’t disagree but she seems to have a manipulative side to her as well. Her designs are good but, I don’t feel you need a degree to call yourself a designer. Anyone can obtain a degree. I have an Art Degree and I’m not out designing.

Tera Hampton – Although your gone I honestly think you did nice work. You seemed to be pals with Nina which is a huge mistake but to each his own. Your Texas sized personality and charm will take you far outside of this competition. I don’t think the yellow wall was the worst part of the room. I think Nina’s kindergarten mural was with the butterfly that looked more like a dragonfly.

Tom Vecchione – You know I like Tom and I like his designs. I don’t like men with attitudes toward each other. I hope that stops soon. His first bedroom design I thought was spectacular and I really couldn’t believe he was in the bottom.

Trent Hultgren – Same thing with Dan with this guy. He does great work but will get walked all over. I’m hoping that being from California he might be able to step it up and put his foot down. We’ll see. The competition is early still.

Who are you guys pulling for now that Julie & Tera are gone? What are your thoughts on the remaining contestants.
