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?
