Design Star is Back!

We’re unabashedly on the reality TV bandwagon. We may however skew more towards the talent based contests such as, Pussy Cat Dolls Presents: Search for the Next Doll and America’s Next Top Model AKA Tyra Banks Likes to Make Pretty Girls Cry, rather than those we feel lack a raison d’etre such as the Survivors and Fear Factors of the world. We especially appreciate programs dedicated to the furthering of our three passions: fashion, food, and interior design otherwise known as the 9th 10th and 11th chakras respectively. Imagine our joy upon learning that Design Star is coming back for a second season on HGTV.


This underrated show brought us Color Splash with David Bromstad which we love equally for its cheesiness as its tendency to inspire thought-provoking debate and discussion. What are the implications of the “feature wall”? Is the chunky fireplace overused? Trust us on this one, Design Star blows its Bravo competitor Top Design out of the water. It has a nice low budget feel and the producers don’t get too hands on in promoting contestant histrionics.

We think you should watch it. We also think you should play the Design Star fantasy game online with us.

Auf Weidersehen
