chat_john02_320x240.jpgAfter only two episodes of “Top Design," the world got to see maybe 30 minutes of John from Chicago? Handsome, muscular, cool. And talented. His first room looked like someone had lived in it for years. (Well, that could have been the carefully placed shoes...)

But really, the guy made an impact in his short time, and is already missed. He blasted through episode one with a dramatic fight. And he practically ruled episode 2. He started the show off with a bang sharing his HIV status with the contestants. And John ended the second episode with a dissapointing thud by being voted off the show for not finishing his room.

But of course, the first thing we want to know is what happened in episode 1 with Michael, the little rat who can't paint! So we called John in Chicago and asked him a few questions:

Was it just bad luck that you got stuck with a bad teammate, or was Michael really that lame?

The #1 question people keep asking me is: Why were your eyes so red in those scenes? They were red because what actually happened was that that was my very first confessional. Michael was so completely clueless that I went into the confessional after crying really hard. I was in such a state, the situation was so crazy, that I thought the producers had planted Michael. I even asked them: “Did you put him on just to cause controversy?”

On the other hand, I felt bad for him. I thought, this is not me. I would rather take Michael home and mentor him and teach him. But I had 8 hours to finish that room or I was going home. It was the worst situation I have ever been in. He did absolutely nothing.
