lisah, I thought Kim had the toughest, but I thought Will's was the 2nd toughest. I thought Todd probably had the easiest job. Why do you think his was tougher than Will's?
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Punishingly Intricate
Why do you think his was tougher than Will's?
I thought Will's would have been a bigger challenge if he was working in a new space for the girl. Instead he came into a space that had already been designed with her needs in mind and so he just had to update the look of the room, really. I did think he did a great job of it and clearly she loved it so that was cool.
Todd had to build a bunch of stuff in order to make the room at all usable for the family. (Or, I guess, he didn't have to build it but he had to make it happen.) And he had to make it usable for each member of the family. Or age group anyway. I don't think he really did as good a job as Will did in the end but his presentation was so much better.
I wish they'd give them more coaching on how to host a show since that is an important aspect of the competition and is what tripped Will up. Unless they did that in early episodes I missed.

So far as I can remember they did not go over hosting techniques on the show. Possibly they did that off-camera.

David Bromstad's show has been picked up for 3 more seasons.
He's got a new French Bulldog! and his shirtlessness on the vlog is starting to make me think he's got an issue with shirts.

I'm convinced he rolls out of bed and does his blogs. Seriously.

I haven't watched the latest Design Star yet, but I have to say I think Todd is their best choice. I think the other two are very good, sure, but not in a way that stick outs, you know? So when you look at the Star part of Design Star, I just don't see what they'll be doing that's all that compelling.
I mean, I'm sure they can come up with something. But Todd's got the hook already. And while his stuff would sometimes, possibly mostly be unliveable, it is pretty cool to watch - like the surfboard living room thing. He's also got the dynamic and memorable personality thing. (Again, probably totally unliveable in practice, but for a show - )

The Chicago Tribune has a fun article on Tim Gunn, written by Maureen Ryan, their TV critic and a big fan of him and PR.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't believe the promo saying that the spam and eggs goes perfectly with a Bombay Sapphire cocktail. Seriously??
