  • Dear Genevieve

    I would like Genevieve Gorder replaced. She is to cold and snobbish. I would like someone like Sabrina Soto as a judge at least she has a personality.

    You are way too good for this!



    Now I know Divine Design must be paying you in Canadian dollars, but we are, and have been for some time now, nearly on par with the greenback, and beyond that, surely you have more professional pride than...this travesty!



    Vern Yip and Genevive Gorder can't hold a candle to Candice in design or anything else for that matter, and beyond that, the execution of this show is just soooo lame.



    I had to watch the last few eps this season as I was at my sister's house and she watches (she was dropped on her head as a child!).



    The final show was the clincher. I don't know contestant's names and I don't care, but the final presentation? That one where they had to show the "stuff" that was going to get them their own TV show? Well: WRONG CHOICE!



    This woman spoke way too fast for me to be interested in watching her on her own program, AND what she said in terms of content was inane! I don't give a rat's heiny what watch and bed sheets and dress shirts the (set-up) "customer" uses!



    Poppycock! Period! Take it away!moreless

  • Worst season yet. Designers are forgettable and challenges are uninteresting. Cortland should stop being critical of others, he is one of the worst. He' been in the bottom how many times now? Speaking of bottom, Cortland engaged to a woman.... really?moreless

    The worst season yet. I thought the last 2 seasons were bad, but this one is so completely forgettable. I think you need to put them through challenges before you select them for the show. There is not a single designer here with any imagination. Most of the challenges are ridiculous and uninteresting. Just give them the white box room or actual rooms with either fake or real clients. These, "use a flower, musical instrument" or whatever the other forgettable themes were

    are B O R I N G! Plus, please, less teams more individual. In the real world, it's usually a single designer.



    I am really losing interest in this show.moreless

  • I just watched last weeks show, OMG are these real designers......I am sure many like myself would like to, I am NOT a designer could have done this so much better. It makes one think, what are you all thinking???? get with it guys!!!!moreless

    Horrible execution and there was no design that I saw in either of the apartments completed, actually they were not complete at all! It would definately not provide that oasis that one needs to recharge and prepare for the next days work. You provided a few basics, one could get that from a hotel room!



    I did not even care what their hosting ability showed, you must not only be able to talk the talk but walk the walk which no one was able to do. I love all three of the designers and you must be wondering how you are gpoing to decide on a winner overall.moreless

  • Good show!

    I personally like this show :)

    I saw Season 3, I think, the one where Jennifer and Matt were in the final two and Jen won.



    -I like it and I think it's an interesting show because they put the contestants into many different challenges. They also get to design rooms too for Celeb, like this season, Sara Evans and the New Orleans family. I thought that was also nice.

    -I like to see how they used their imagination and creativity to design their room and how much work they put into it.

    -The judges are really funny! Especially that middle Asian guy!

    -I saw the Finale and especially love it. It was entertaining, unlike other Finales! They recap the highlights of the season and it was great!



    Overall, good show!moreless
