LAST EDITED ON 08-03-09 AT 11:24 AM (EST)So, tonight's challenge was the famed 'white room', where the designers get to show their REAL talents! Whoopppeee!! Right.
We actually get to see where the weakest links are, and who watched the last few seasons and remembered where to and how to hang the light fixtures, make a rug out of plastic wrap, cover a couch with pool floaties, etc.
Once again, Dan showed amazing ingenuity by stabling red apples all over, hanging a bowl upside down for a light fixture, and over all, encorporating design, color, and style, so you wouldn't exactly know that he'd been grocery shopping just a few days before. He was MY fave, but there were 2 others that were called out for their upstanding designs-Nathan, with an orange/hanging chandellier, and Torie, who made an amazing murial of sorts out of candy wrappers, which she scrucnhed up and glued to her wall.
Once again, Tashica was a hot mess, with paint lines that were shaggy, color scheme that has been used to death, and just an over all boring room. But, once again, she was sent off to safety, along with everyone else, except for:
Lonni: her art-deco cups-on-the-wall just didn't make the cut, because, well-they didn't STAY on the wall! And that ended in a very bland, boring concept overall. Not impressive for the judges, who weren't too concerned with her woes, and told her she'd better have a 'back-up' plan next time.
Jen: the judges were confused by her color palette, and said her design left them cold. Her Japanese infusion, just didn't fuse...
Jason: his room is considered as bland as the matzo crackrs he used to decorate with. In theory, he had a good concept, but in practice, it just didn't bowl anyone over.
And the person who went home, because they'd had high hopes for her, and she'd let them down TWICE IN A ROW (gasp!!) was Jen. Her show has been cancelled, never to be seen again. Like anyone else who has ever won really has been seen all that much, anyway......
Tune in next week, folks, when Tashica will surprise us with yet another spill, drip, or copy-cat design.
Or, maybe we'll get to see someone else's home totally destroyed by this group of QUASI-PSEUDO designers!!
{Go, Dan and Nathan!) And feel free to add any other comments, because I didn't mention some of the other rooms or designers-just too much to do on a Monday morning!!
ETA: changed Lonni's cuts to cups...
