Ding Dong, Eddy's Dead

October 30, 2008

We never thought we’d thank Jeff Lewis for anything, but here goes: Thank you Jeff Lewis! Voting Eddy off Top Design was the nicest thing you could have done for us in a million years!

Are you guys sad that Eddy-weddy had to go home on his birfday? We are definitively not sad about it. Sure, we’ll even grudgingly admit he had some talent. But who cares? He was irritating to the max. Let’s start back at the beginning.

It’s Eddy’s birthday. Preston’s not one of the three bananas or whatever.

Their challenge is to design one room in a townhouse. They get to do the rest of the three bedroom house if they make it to the final. $85,000 budget for the whole house, 20,000 for the first room. Geeze Louise.

Andrea's Light Goes Out

October 23, 2008

This week we get to see the extent of Andrea's serious confidence problem. Yo, Andrea, buck up. You're all right. Also this week, Eddy continues to wow us with his irritating arrogance. Will it ever end? Let's start from the beginning.

Andrea gets flowers and a poem from Ricky Schroeder. She is quite homesick.

We’re glad Ondine is still in it. She just seems cool.

If we hear Eddy talk about how he knows everything because he works at Martha Stewart one more time…

A Pop Design is thrown at them. And it seems really easy. And sort of boring.

Future Sex/Love/Interior Decorating

October 16, 2008

First there was that apocalyptic bunker challenge and now this. We like whoever’s coming up with these ideas. Of course some designers came up with better ideas than others. Let’s recap. Or precap, since it’s the future.

Nathan’s sad that Wisit left. We are too. We already miss that little guy. Who will sing arias for us now?

Just six designers left. The challenge is to design for the year 2108 – the room of the future in raw three wall spaces. They get carpenters, $7000 and two and a half days. Oh what we could do with $7000.

Lobby for the golden clone is Eddy’s idea. “Two people can be beautiful and make a really busted baby.” Oh geeze. We’re into the idea of cloning, but Eddy continues to give us the heebeegeebees.

Andrea’s idea is pod housing in pink. Hmmm.

Gang Green

October 09, 2008

This is a sad episode, because Wisit goes home and we’re just sick about it. Plus Eddie wins and he continues to annoy the heck out of us. But let’s start with a play by play.

Eddie is so annoyed that Nathan won again. But he’s already so successful, that he doesn’t really care. So why are you here Eddie, if you just want to work for Martha forever?

Wisit blow dries his hair. He’s so cute.

Andrea Shroeder doesn’t have a lot of confidence. Buck up, Drea.

The challenge to create eco-friendly offices for clients. They are supposed to pay special attention to think of ways to reduce, reuse, recycle, repair etc.

Eddie’s complaining of course – everything’s disgusting and he calls his client a dork. What a blankity blank he is.

Nathan Never Thought He'd Win A Triathlon

October 02, 2008

This episode we get to see a grueling triathlon of design. Who knew such thing existed? Instead of going leg by leg, let’s compile each person’s performance in all three events into one summary and get down to the nitty gritty of who sucks and who doesn’t.

But first…What is Kelly wearing? Those sleeves and that hat are a bit much.

Eddy – Chair leg – yellow and silver, we thought blech. But the judges liked it and he wound up in the top two. Table leg - Okay it’s cool, even though he rubs us the wrong way. Judges loved it and called it their favorite word “chic.” Photo shoot leg – “I just want to do pretty,” he said. We were bored and so were the judges, they called it “granny.” Overall he was in the top. Sadly, he’ll probably be sticking around for a while and annoying us.
