Details on his online show will be coming soon!
You have spoken! After nine weeks of voting, we have our favorite designer and winner of an online show: Dan Vickery.
Details on his online show will be coming soon!
Finally! Why am I not surprised that Dan is the fan favorite? I will definitely check out his online show — it may even be replacing my HGTV television viewing.
I too will be watching Dan he was awesome and very talented. I really did lose faith in the design star format this year. I will not participate in the process next year I have decided that it a crock. This show started out as a choice of the fans of HGTV and this year they took it away from the viewers and made it their own. For me something has been lost in the translation. Good Luck Dan and I will be waiting the start of your online show.
If they had told us from week one that they were changing the format, I would probably have quit watching in week 7 when it was obvious the Antonio was 'the chosen one.' I feel that HGTV pulled a fast one, losing respect and credibility with their loyal viewers. Over the last year or so, I find myself watching less and less HGTV (I have written them about their increasing choice towards boring shows while shoving some of the goods ones out to pasture) BUT I really looked forward to Design Star this season. What a huge blow and disappointment – with the format, with the judges choice. I guess I'll just have to wait for the next season of 'Top Design!' I won't be watching Antonio ever again or Design Star anymore. I do wish Dan ALL THE BEST!! and I'll look for his 'online show'.'
I agree, Lynn. This past season show was set up almost from the beginning. Dan had it won hands down. Even Vern chastised Antonio for his knowledge (lack of ) in space planning. Dan's design completely over shadowed Antonio's. What a shame. Why not let the public vote and have the input for the favorite designer? I am truly disappointed in the three judges, especially Candice. Unless the format changes, I have watched the last Design Star of which Antonio is not!
My husband and I totally agree!!! We watched Antonio's show last night and it was JUST TERRIBLE!! We won't watch his show again!!! I hope you are reading this remarks Design Star, as you will be losing alot of viewers!!!!
We will be watching Dan's online show, but would much rather be watching him on TV. The whole season was rigged!!! SHAME ON YOU!!!
I totally agree. i was rooting for Dan throughout the whole contest. I was very disappointed when he lost.. Congrats Dan, I wish u the very best of luck in your endeavors. I would hire you anytime to design my house. That's when i buy it though. lol
You were disappointed when he lost — wasn't it obvious for the last several shows that Antonio would win…
I could see early on that the cards seemed stacked against anyone but Antonio. There was no comparison between his design ability or creativity and Dan's or Lonie in my estimation. Perhaps the show was looking for a bohemian personality, not a designer.
Antonio should not even have been in the final two….
Agreed — never could understand how the judges could prefer his boring office to Lonni's beautiful bedroom in the celebrity challenge.
I AGREE 100%
I agree 200%!!
DEAR HGTV VIEWER: Nominate Dan Vickery for his own TV SHOW, please visit http://thedanproject.201w.com nominate him! Tell all your HGTV Friends!
Will definitely spread the word, we want him to have his own show, he is the BEST!
I totally agree. How can I sign on for Dan to have his own show? I want to be able to vote, if all of the design star viewers were allowed to vote in the final, Dan would have his own show right now and we would not have to turn off the TV because I refuse to watch Antonio anymore. I watched just the last few minutes and I was shocked at the low-class, cheap bar design.
I can not believe the judges picked Antonio over Dan, Candice & Vern must be losing it big time, as far as for Ms. Gouder (can't remember how to spell her name) I never didilike her designs back when she was on "Trading Spaces" I thought she was 1 of the 3 worst designers that show ever had…Anyway….everyone that was watching design star knew Dan should have won that hands down, sorry Dan you didn't get what you deserved.
I totally agree. I choose to believe that Candice was out numbered by her less talented subordinates. Antonio's last two designed were not even creative!! Dan was robbed!
I'm glad Dan won something. His designs are excellent. I would much rather watch someone who produced a beautiful room, than someone who was just entertaining. I watch HGTV to get ideas. Not everyone is a ball of fire, it is good to see a laid back person that produces wonderful rooms.
I totally agree, Dan should have won, he IS the better designer. I do like Antonio, however I think the only reason he won is that he's flashy and brassy on TV. This show is about outstanding designs, not personalities, that's why it's called "Design Stars." In my mind Dan is the winner, I'm glad he got the
online show. Good luck Dan, you will do very well in the design industry.
Where can I see his show. I thought he was the absolute best.
I too will tune in to Dan's online show. I can't wait!! Best of luck to you Dan, you deserve it!!
I am glad Dan got the on-line show. I have watched every season and this is the first year I picked a different winner. I picked Dan over Antonio.
I like Dan's work the best! Lonni and Antonio are good, but Dan was really the most creative designer. Can he please do my house!
Well, what do you know, "GIGGLE BOY" has a show!!
Better him than the "YO" bozo!
that is part of his charm and it was just because he was nervous I would much rather listen to a giggle than YO WASUP!!!!
I'm with you . . . HGTV made a huge mistake in letting their own employees be the final judges. And did you notice that there were no prizes given to the final two as in past years? no car, no cruise? This wasn't a contest, it was a job interview.
I heard that too that in the past three seasons they got new cars and 5 grand in gift cards He didnt even get a thank you or a lousey handshake!!!
I'm tickled to hear that Dan at least got an "on-line" show. The problem is, I don't watch on-line shows… I think Antonio is very talented, but I would love to see Dan in his own show. He has talent and personality, plus……. He seems like a great guy, and I hope HGTV gives him a place in a show some time in the near future……
Do you think HGTV will realize that it is the fans who watch the shows, not the designers who did the judging? I still can't figure out how Antonio won. I know I won't be watching. Too brash, too arrogant, I'll Take Dan's show online anyday. Let's give Dan a show on the network and see who the VIEWERS want to watch!
I absolutely agree, why Antonio could have been chosen over Dan is beyond any comprehension. Dan's design style is phenomenal, fresh, exciting, insightful and concerned with what the client requests. What more could we ask for in a designer… aha!!! we can't forget Lovely to Look at!!!
You've got to be kidding! Lonnie was a far better designer! And what is wrong with a society who will cheer for a lier and a cheat?! Dan stood right there in front of the camera and said that he thought he had $10,000 when he knew he had only $5000. And to spend $10,000 on a pergala was very poor judgement. At least Lonnie's headboard looked really good. You have to admit that her bedroom was beautiful!
Jeanie, if you had taken the time to read any of the other replies and blogs, you'd know by now the truth of what happened with the pergola. Jeez, you must be the ONLY person who doesn't know! Do some research, find out the truth before you go spouting old lies.
Dan was told in the van that he had 10,000 Antonio even repeated it in the van. Lonnie was the team leader it was her responsibility to keep track of the expenses even BOZO ANTONIO didnt keep up with his spending on the fence He just kept going out and getting more fence. The headboard not being attached was a safety hazard that made the room incomplete So she was let go because of poor leadership and not finishing her room,.
If you are trying to set the facts straight, you should remember them better….it was Torrie, not Lonni who was the team leader in the outdoor challenge and let go that week. Lonni was let go the following week, incorrectly in my opinion on that episode. Antonio was the one who should have gone home after his SADDDD office space for Kathy Griffin. It was not Lonni's fault that the workman did not do the job she had assigned to them in the time she allotted for mounting the headboard and they didn't have enough time at the end when they had to try and do it.
Dan is the man, my favorite Designer . I am looking forward to his on line show. Design Star is one
of my most watched HGTV shows. I wish Dan and Antonio all the luck in their new shows.
I totally agree. I loved Divine Design until the fiasco last week. Candice just came on and I just switched off and i think she is the most talented person on this network. Will look for Dan online. I'm done with the show and especially Design Star and Vern
I am SOOO DISAPPOINTED with the judges, I would definitely not watch their shows anymore. I used to watched Divine Design, I never liked Genevieve's design anyway. Vern is allright. I think Dan is the
BEST designer I have ever seen, his design is amazing!!! I had watched the past 3 seasons of the
Design Star, and this time I dont think I will watch it anymore, I lost trust on the show after what happened to Dan. Very disappointed!!! Dan is the guy that everyone would love to watch, and enjoy watching his designs. Well, I hope HGTV gives Dan his own show, why would they want to waste such a great designer not to be watched on TV. He is the best, and I hope they wake up and realized they made a BIG BIG mistake. Dan we love you and all the best to you. I will definitely hire you to do our house. Love you Dan!! Keep smiling and giggling, we love it!
I dont know if you were serious about hiring Dan to do your house but if you are you can contact him at Dan Vickery Interior Design. Please take the time to check this website out You will see at one glance just how multitalented Dan is. I too love his giggle.
Dan should have won and I'm looking forward to his online show.
Dan ABSOLUTELY Should have WON!!!!! I will not watch Antonio…yuck!!! His program came on last night and after enjoying HGTV all day ( home with the flu) I turned HGTV OFF!!!! Do not want to see his hidious tatoos and nasty language and horrible friends delivering more tatoo junk!!!
Dan should have won hands down!!! I guess HGTV was trying to apeal to other demo graphics….
I'm not surprised at all by this. HOW could the judges pick Antonio?
Aside from his Yo Bro 'style' his designs had major proportion issues. 'So he's not an artist and never studied design' – no problem, but anyone could see the too tiny table, or the too large dresser.
let us not forget his placemat rug and his hobbitt chairs haha
Dislike him (Antonio) altogether!!!
I will definitely be viewing Dan's online show. While I would prefer viewing Dan on television, it looks as if the judges are fearful of facing "classy" competition on HGTV.
I agree. Dan was the CLEAR winner and besides that, we actually enjoyed watching him. He's a nice guy who cares about his work and his clients vs Antonio's brash, ego centric approach. I will definitely NOT be watching Design Star in the future and if they don't replace Genevieve and Candice, the show will continue to go down hill. They gave terrible advice most of the time and were always biased. Stick to design ladies. You are TERRIBLE judges! Stand up, Vern! You know Dan should have won!!!!!
Absolutely agree!!
Ditto…obviously Antonio was "Mr. Personality", but Dan was the best designer and should have won. The judges made a huge mistake looking at presentation over design…after all, the show is "Design Star"…
I would not call Antonio 'Mr. Personality." To me he was off-putting. I will not be watching "the Antonio project" or "Design Star" any more. I was very offended this year when the American public was kept out of the decision process. There is sure a big hullabaloo about this fellow who lacks finesse, tact, grace, etc., etc. etc. but has plenty of outspoken bully. Definitely not 'Mr. Personality.' BTW >>I'm still waiting for a show from last year's winner, Jen B.
I dont understand you saying he is Mr Personality he is rude and obnoxious He walked into the house for his finale review and said YO WASSUP and walked around the room hitting everything. Look at how he was dressed he looked like a bum. I wouldnt let him design my dog kennel Besides the fact he is a crappy designer I love my dogs too much
I'm glad you won, but HGTV will not have my viewing on TV. I'll be watching you online. Congratulations. Good People do finish first.
of course they picked the wrong one! I will definitely pass on Antonio, as I have on Myles of Styles… David Bromberg is the only decent DesignStar so far… just my 2 cents.Dan should get a Bravo show or TLC
Dan!!! congrats, your designs and attitude were refreshing. You were a risk taker and creative. Your rooms were always unique and spoke to the customer's needs. You have a true vision for design. I will certainly look for you on here. This is the first year I will not watch the winner's show. No reason to tune in this time. Again, keep doing what you do well, never loose your spirit. Know you were the best designer, the fans have spoken.
I Could not agree more.TV off to HGTV & computer on To Dan's show!!!
I really feel the judges were going to pick Antonio all along. They were just going through the motions with all the shows. It is a shame. Dan was a much better designer. If I had to choose one of them to do my house, it would have been Dan all the way.
You are absolutely right! Antonio should have been booted when he refused to paint tan. The woman asked for tan and she should have gotten tan. Tactics like that will not fly in the real world. The producers of HGTV are betting that we will watch Antonio's show because of bad boy tactics….wrong!!! We watch for design ideas…and so far…..Candice first and Dan second. Vern does good deeds, so you have to appreciate him, Genevieve is more worried about selling herself than her designs…and I find her annoying.
I will NOT watch Antonio. Too gauche, too raw, and no design savy. I have watched everything David Bromstad has done, and would put Dan in that category. Antonio's design of that home was a nightmare. Can you imagine living with all those disparate colors? Dan's design, instead, flowed and was true to the clients. It was classy and very near what Candice would do with those cabinetry and chandelier accents. I vote for a full-on HGTV show for Dan. Call it Design-RunnerUp or whatever. He's the lasting talent.
I will definitely check this out. I'm not sure why HGTV thought that the people should not choose the designer WE wanted to watch. Antonio is way off base as a designer WE will want to watch. I watched his Antonio Project last night. His house is designed very much to his liking–definitely NOT MINE. I probably won't watch his shows.
I'm excited to find out that voting was used for something! It was so obvious that a "character" was going to win. When Tashica proved so inept, the next logical choice was Antonio. I noticed he cleaned up his act the last few shows. I wonder how long he'll last after the first sneaky move he pulls when he disagrees with the show's producers. I'm excited to see Dan's new show; he shines with personality, enthusiasm, and good design.
Don't forget to sign the petition asking HGTV to give Dan his own tv show
Let the viewers be heard
http://thedanproject.co.nr
Can anyone explain why, after all of the other Design Star shows, we the viewers didn't get to vote this time? Antonio is not who I would have voted for. Although, I did love his kitchen, I really didn't care for the rest of the designs in his house. If he wants to come put that same kitchen in my house bring it.
I hole heartedly agree, I am still in shock the Dan did not win Design Star. I did watch Antonio's show last Sunday and was not inpressed and will never view it again.. Dan come to Santa Fe NM any time and do my home…
I have to ask why do you feel the need to slam Antonio because Dan lost. If you are still in shock so am I. I am in shock at how rude and mean people are acting for nothing more then Antonio playing the same game Dan did. The only difference was Antoino didnt slam every team mate to make it past each week. And please dont tell me Dan is an angel that he is not. He slammed Tashica, Torie and yes he even tried to slam Antonio, only Antonio didnt put his tail betwenn his legs and run. He stood up and admited he wasnt going to paint Tan again. But when the backyard budget went to crap and dan was the one who made the mistake by himself, I didnt see Dan stand up and lay claim to hsi mistake, instead Torie took that. I would like to know how many of you will let Dan come into your home's with you footing the bill and turn him lose. I can say with out a doubt that is why Dan didnt get his own show.
You cant turn someone lose who can not follow a simple instruction as to stay under budget, you may say you would let him do your home, but I would bet you wouldnt want to foot the bill if it came out of your wallet. If you say otherwise you are lying, that is why HGTV didnt turn him lose with his own show. Be honest he didnt even seem to care he blew the budget and he didnt feel bad that Torie lost her shot at reaching her dream. To me that is mot a man I want to watch on TV .
not sure why hgtv picked a pot head, I too have stoped watching hgtv, was tired of people tying to be funnie?????? and a lot of the time if you blinked you did not see the end product, or how it was built. DIY is blowing hgtv out . Thanks
I hope you are aware that slander is against the law, and if you are making these comments without proof you can be take to court. But again I guess this is an exsample of how low Dans fans will go to slam everyone but Dan. Why?? If you dont like it dont watch, but you need to stop calling people names and making comments that you have no proof of. It only goes to show what type of people Dan isattracking to HGTV isnt???? Grow up !!!!
I think it will be great. I was a little dissapointed when he lost Design Star, but I am happy he got the online show.
I hope it is worth all the uproar and the insults that were throw around by Dans Fans. I find it a little bit of a give, the network caved to presure of his fans to give him a show. It doesnt matter that he didnt win, he is given a show just because. I guess I have a problem with the way Dan handled himself, what kind of exsample is HGTV setting. I already know I will recieve comments back defending Dan, I want to hear from Dan. I want to know how he feels about his fans slamming Antonio just because he won? Everyone acts as if Antonio was the one who riped Dans show off, so I want to hear from Dan. So Dan if you are reading this blogg why not speak up and share your true feelings about Antonio being slammed, for nothing more then winning a contest. So come on Dan we want to get your thougts?????
Antonio did not rip Dan off. The Judges and HGTV foolishly chose him hoping to draw in new demo graphics…
Dan is a class act and a sterling role model of both creativity and hard work for our gay community. You go, Dan!
I am soooooo excited about your online show Dan. I really thought you were the most talented and should have been HGTV new Design Star. But I guess sometimes they will get it wrong as they did in this case. I would rather watch you on the big screen, but I guess this will have to do. Good luck with it, and as I said before, I will be looking out for your new program.
Smooches!!!!!!!
Sweetmeet
It will be fun to see where HGTV.com goes with this. What kind of show will it be …
he said on his video he'd be doing mostly kids rooms, since viewers liked his kids rooms and nursery on the challenges. cool beans- then he can do mine haha
What is an on-line show anyway?
Live stream video…have you watched the episodes posted on HGTV? Buffering can suck, but his having a show is better than nothing at all.
unless you live outside the US ;(
Urg, I hate that. Whenever I want to watch something from BBC or ITV I've gotta find a cheat to get around their stupid 'block'.
share your method? LOL
Normally cruise sites for 'patches' or how to trick them into believing I'm viewing from the UK by saving a page or content as a 'fave' and then using that 'url' to view from.
It is just like a regular TV show only viewed from your computer. Ever wonder what happened to Alex Anderson of Simply Quilts on HGTV? She has her own online show with Ricky Tims. Check it out at http://www.thequiltshow.com
I agree. How many t.v. viewers will actually tune-in on-line. This is not a great consolation prize to the guy who should have been the winner. I believe the judges got it wrong (again). What ever happened to the Season 3 winner?
She got pregnant!
Heard she got pregnant, so they postponed her show.
Easiest way to see it is online. You can see it here: http://www.hgtv.com/paint-over/show/index.html.
I actually preferred Matt to Jen last year but at least you could understand how each one made it to the finals.
I don't know who season three winner was. I wish I could remember. Does anyone remember who it was?
You should do a show with Lonni! You two were the best!! Good luck to you in your business!
Yeah, I'd love to see those two do some fun and tasteful designs. Dan said he was hoping to do that, so we'll see…
Dan and Lonni had already talked about this when they were still in the DS contest. Check out:
http://roomfu.com/fuforthought/tag/dan-vickery/
Dan's online shows will be awesome and is will be great to see Lonni and Dan designing together again. They were the best!
Lonni and Dan were the two best designers, to be sure. Antonio has the personality and gender they were looking for.
Agree thought Lonnie was a great mix
I agree with you — Dan and Lonni were the best!
I totally agree and that shows just how far off these judges were. Congrats Dan on at least this show, but you should have had the real show. I hope HGTV see's the light someday and gives you a show on television, not online. You rock and you were thrown under the bus.
I so agree, I thought the same thing. They had chemistry and would make a great team.
I agree Dan and Lonni were fantastic. I'm looking forward to an online show! debf
That would be a miracle! Those two working together would be something I would love to watch! I loved those two so much!
Absolutely correct!!! Lonni and Dan were the absolute, hands down best choices for a final showdown, Lonni is class and grace personified and Dan's style sense is amazing, the tywo were perfect together!!!
I agree with you hanr…To Heck with a diverse personality—They can have their 'ROCKY' Horror show !!! Antonio is on nothing but an Ego trip…he does NOT have anywhere NEAR the skills that Dan had—This is a Travisty !!!!!!!!
BEST WISHES TO YOU, DAN—-"YOU" werE my Hero !!!!!!! GORGEOUS WORK YOU DID—Can I hire you ????????
Cindy
I agree! I was so interested in the winding river rock design they tried to make. It really appealed to me, and I was horrified that Antonio bullied them into abandoning it. I loved watching Lonni and Dan working together. I was so hoping Dan would win and Lonni would have a place on his new show. I doubt I'll watch Antonio's show. That whole thing with the Pergula… I watched that episode three times to be sure… it was ANTONIO who first said they had $10,000 for it. Dan said $5,000. But as usual, Antonio had his way, and then threw Dan under the bus when it was discovered to be a mistake. Dan showed a lot of class in taking full responsibility for it. Antonio showed his true colors when he didn't speak up and take responsibility too.
Good luck with the new online endeavor, Dan. Hope to see Lonni there too.
Unfortunately Lonni was too busy crying and whining every episode to actually do something productive.
nothing would have saved that backyard with the hideous pergola. not even the winding river rock design. Apparently, it was never discussed during the planning phase, as I doubt they would have had all the excess rocks for filler. Lonni and Dan decided to stray from the original agreed plan. looks like they were the bullies.
yep Antonio did throw Dan under the bus. right? maybe Dan should have told the judges he had a hand in picking out the blue paint for the military family instead of having Antonio take all the blame, I mean credit because the judges did praise him for it. another missed opportunity for Dan.
Dan, do yourself a favor and do not team up with Lonni. You might find yourself becoming her hired help. you'll do much better on your own.
I absolutely agree 100%. Lonnie and Dan were by far better than Antonio. I couldn't believe he beat them out!
AllyK, the future of on-screen entertainment will be online – in case you are not aware. Have you seen Food2?
I wouldn't consider having a HGTV-produced show featured on their website a consolation prize.
Perhaps. And perhaps not. Unless it's escaped your notice, there is still not a computer in every home in America and even when there is a computer in the home, it's rarely connected to the net. Many, many people stay away from the internet at all costs.
Yes, the younger generation and the savvy older generation are into it. Not everyone.
I'm hoping Dan's show will be successful. I most definitely will be watching every episode.

Nor does the online show change the fact that Dan was the best designer and deserved to win Design Star and that this online show IS the lame ass consolation prize in comparison.
True. But having a show online allows for more people everywhere to watch. AND for fans to interact with the people on the show and each other. Hmmm. Don't think television can do that – not really. Yes, we can talk about TV shows online, but there's something special about a show that is only online. Plus, there are, I imagine, many more directions that producers and web-brains can go. Fun stuff.
The world (and a world of possibilities) OR same-ole, same-ole on TV? Perhaps even, Dan got the better end of the deal. Hmmm.
I hope that the people who do not own a computer and want to watch can get access to one (public library, etc. etc.) b/c there's exciting stuff happening on the WWW. Zoom! Zoom!
not exactly everywhere – there are other places than the USA
Blocking across borders is not an absolute.
yes – i'm learning that here
so i guess 1 good thing happened out of this mess LOL
Last year's winner's show is impossible to find on HGTV. I watch the channel alot and have never seen it advertised. I can see it with my cable system's on-demand system. Jen Bertrand's show would be more visible if it were on-line.
I think the on-line show is a better prize..
oops – Here's Jen's show so she got an on-line show too.
http://www.hgtv.com/paint-over/show/index.html
Dan was a designer, and Antonio was an entertainer at best and not a very good one at that. I watch the H&G to learn how to do things and to get fresh ideas; two things that Dan is superb at doing. I am looking forward to Dan's I'net show. Needless to say, like most of my friends, I have not watched Antonio fix up the slum he was living in. I suppose Antonio will sell his free flip, so he can flip another at HGTV's expense. Is flipping the idea of a new show? It does seem like I've seen something like that a time or two or three or four hundred.
It's not a consolation prize. If we had the chance to vote, Dan would have been the winner.
http://www.food2.com/
Good for you Dan! I'll be watching the computer- not the tv.
I'm not going to watch Antonio's show .I feel Dan should of won. Antonio went shopping knowing the contracker would come .On that yard show. Antonio pushed people around didn't listen . Just the way he acts I'm not going to watch his show..
I won't watch his show either….I don't like his style at all….
dan, should have been the winner. he is much better and much better looking
I didn't like the way he pushed and took over the projects. He got pick because he's different and they thot it would be novice to have a pushy person on the show. i hated that piece he choose for the mantel. I wouldn't have that in my house. UUUUgly!!!!!!!! Dan's decor was classier. In fact, I think I'll do that TV to my mantel.
I also will be watching the computer & NOT the TV
I'm with you. They blew it this year. Maybe they need to go back to fan votes…we seem to know good design better than the "judges." And by the way – I like those judges as designers…for the most part. Can't believe they let Antonio get away with those junky designs. What an embarrassment. Go Dan! I don't know what an online show is, but I (along with my sister and my mom) will figure it out for you. We won't be watching Antonio's show – I don't care how much HGTV promotes it (it's obscene!)
My sentiments exactly tues.! While this is good news, Dan should have won the t.v. show. Is there any way to see who got the FEWEST votes? That would be interesting.
I agree!! Totally!
I agree. I voted for Dan to win his own show and the online show. I love him. I also voted only for David B and we all know how fab he is.
Guess what — Part 1 of the Challenge 9 comments is back. Now we can see just how many people really preferred Dan!
have they been edited ??? wouldnt surprise me if there are alot more positive comments about you know who all of a sudden ?? There were over 3000 before.
What on earth were the judges thinking when they picker Antonio. I just watched his home decoration and believe me not many of us are into decorating this low class style. I have spent the last five months in the hospital and HGTV has been my major entertainment. I would not have given it the time of day if Antonio would have been on board. I don't know why unless you feel sorry for this loser guy, with the toothy smile and cycle mentality. Dan needs some coaching on how to host but at least her has something to show. I'm very disappointed in the judges. Shame on You!!!!
The judges definitely messed up when they didn't choose Dan as the Design Star. Very disappointing.
Dan is a much better designer than Antonio. Antonio is just plain irritating and we will not be watching his show,
Three cheers for Dan! We love you, Dan!
How does it feel to be so loved? Hope you'll tell us.
More than 3 cheers!!!! He was definitely the BEST!!! And he should have won!!!
I knew you would be the fans choice. After all hgtv is blind and stupid. That's pretty bad to be both. I will keep after my computer till it tells me the day and time your show airs. Betty of Palm Harbor, Fl.
Dan was robbed!
Thank you so much, Dan! You have outstanding ideas and are fun to watch. I didn't have any problem with your laugh. I'm glad you listened and paid attention to the clients! Maybe your show should emphasize straightening up behind those who don't listen to clients and then you put in what they want. (Wonder if we could think of someone?) Then the client could choose the room they wanted to live with. Perhaps another station/channel/company would pick you up and do that. It would be a hoot and tons of us would watch that! Thanks again. I thought you fit the HGTV image perfectly but apparently I know absolutely nothing. I pray for your continued success!
We loved Dan's designs and presentations. We would never hire Antonio because he consistently did what he wanted and ignoring what the owner's preferances were. If we're paying for it and living with it after the designer leaves, it needs to be what we, the customer, wants…not what Antonio wants.
Say HGTV…care to post the percentages? How many votes for Dan?
Yes, yes ~ I'd love to see the real numbers!
YEAH! Let's all see the results, HGTV.
I, too, would love to see the percentages!
What a great idea!!!!! Let's see those results.
Fat chance of that happening! HGTV does not want to post results that say 60% Dan, 20% Jany, 15% Antonio, and 5% everyone else — it's going to emphasize how badly they miscalculated in selecting "edginess" over design talent. I'm just grateful they were honest enough to announce Dan as the winner!
I dont think honesty has anything to do with it. Can you imagine the backlash if they had named anyone else winner !!! He definitely was the vote getter to beat !!
I too would love to see the actual numbers!!! and I don't think I'd be shocked!
I agree Dan should have won.
