How cool!!!  It's Iron Chef for designers!  Who's going to judge their efforts?

I love Vern Yip- he's hands down my favorite, real-person designer on HGTV. I can watch him all day.

Alright!  Sparkle Josh is a judge!!!!!!!  But the  homeowners don't really get a new room - these are mock-ups on a sound stage.  :{    I'm there!  Julie

OK, I only saw one episode of Design Stars - it was the one where they did the white room. Some of them were a hot mess. I am really looking forward to Project Runway though.  Love that one.

Thanks for the heads-up Melissa.  I won't miss it.  Those are some interesting combinations!  Is it true that Sparkle Josh is a judge???   Oh my, talk about adding some personality.

Yeah, I saw the preview.  It looks like a lot of good fun.  If I had to guess I would reckon that a non-designer like Lisa LaPorta will actually do a lot better than one might think.  It'll be fun to see th hunky carpenter guys take on one another.

Are you a Matt or Jen fan?  I can't decide.  Matt is so sweet but awfully like Angelo Surmelis, what do you think?

Not only is Sparkle Josh a judge, but so is 'Tootie'!!  Here they are:

Juliet - I'm a Jen fan!  I love her wall art.  She can come and do mine anytime!

I saw the previews and thought it was a great idea, I can't wait to see their work.

I admire Vern Yip and David Bromstad's work, glad they're part of the program.  Can't wait to see Cynthia Rowley, love her clothes.
