Anyone else watching?

I thought the “build your own house thing” was cheesy. :rolleyes:

I am picking Matt as my early prediction to win (which I said before the judging last night), and Michael as my contestant to hate. I didn’t think anyone could be more annoying that Christian from Project Runway, but Michael may out-annoy him. I dont’ like his partner in crime, either, although Tracee didn’t handle that situation well. I felt badly for Scotty, but his bedroom design did suck, and he wasn’t willing to listen to Mikey and Matt when they tried to tell him the colors were bad.

Michael definitely needs to grow up. He’s got good ideas for design, but man, he’s childish. Tracee needs to get a grip. She had a lot of influence in the sun room, and it came out terrible. She needs to rethink her certainties. She also comes across as petty and mean-spirited, rather like what’s his face, Rob, from last year. I hope she doesn’t last as long as he did, because that will really make the show annoying to watch. That or her attitude needs to make a 180°, fast.

I like Matt, and I hope he wins.
