  1. This caption looks like HGTV's attempt to clean up Cathy's image. Of all the pictures you could have chosen, WHY THIS ONE?

    You put our favorite star and the MOST LIKED of all DS seasons (David B.) arm in arm with the LEAST LIKED DS contestant, Cathy of all seasons (up to date anyway). And you want us to comment on it? Are you serious? This is a joke! TALK ABOUT THE MOST OBVIOUS STAGED PHOTO PICKED EVER!! I think I'm insulted. No thanks.

    • I agree. How could they ever expect anyone to watch her show? I can't stand to hear her voice…….

      patti on August 11, 2011 at 2:57 pm
      • RTOTALLY…Cathy is such a bossy witch…if we have to hear one more time how she is a stager?!?!? Really? Not even close to the caliber of the other designers this season.

        Bev on August 12, 2011 at 11:34 pm
    • CAPTION: HGTV has lost it's credibility!!!

      Catherine on August 11, 2011 at 7:09 pm
    • Yes, sad but true, she is still here…..I guess the design team is lenient this year….seems almost planned out who is going to win sometimes….let's hope not…let the real designers move along and ms. Cathy can go home where she belongs……

      danny on August 11, 2011 at 9:19 pm
      • I am so bummed that Tyler went home and left her on for another week…David Bromstad she steer clear of that barracuda!

        Bev on August 12, 2011 at 11:36 pm
    • completely agree she tries to bully everyone.

      sue on August 12, 2011 at 12:50 pm
    • I agree. The caption should bee. From the best to the worst! I guarantee if she is on I will never turn HGTV on again. I hope the opinion of the viewers are taken into account. Please admit you made a mistake and bring credibilty back.

      susanfla on August 12, 2011 at 5:53 pm
    • I agree, she should have been gone weeks ago. I'm sick of looking at her and if she stays on the show one more week I promise I won't watch again. She has messed up every challenge she has done in one way or another. I don't think she is good on the camera challenge either for that matter. She acts like she is going to teach the others and the judges how it's done … Cathy go on home. I would not watch the Cathy show if it was the only program on TV! Why is she not in this weeks challenge? Why would She be pulled out to do what? Are the judges trying to make us like her? Why?

      Sharry on August 13, 2011 at 10:16 am
    • I have always thought HGTV & Food Network have done a high-class type of reality show. Yet, Cathy is clearly simply there to create tension, I don't get it.

      Further, she's the only one that (should she win) I would NEVER watch.

      Laura on August 13, 2011 at 5:57 pm
      • Agree…..I am beginning to think Design Star is rigged, and if Cathy wins, it will be confirmed.

        AnnofAmerica on August 14, 2011 at 4:57 pm
    • I agree! Cathy is completely disingenuous and an overall nasty lady. I am a huge HGTV fan and watch everyday. Your designers are likable Cathy is not. Her mean sprited personality shows through on every episode! What a completely rude and uncomfortable looking woman to watch she gives me an upset stomach every time I see and listen to her on Design Star. She clearly does FIT ON THE HGTV TEAM! U.S. viewers will not want to watch her ever!!! Unless you name it "BITCHZILLA DESIGN"!!!!!

      Lita on August 13, 2011 at 6:03 pm
    • david is probably saying cathey calm down the world does not revolve around jus you girl ,teamwork teamwork!!!!

      bettysnead51@yahoo. on August 13, 2011 at 7:33 pm
    • Yes, what a joke to have Cathy with David!!!!!!!!!!!!! Funny if not so sad……..

      danny on August 13, 2011 at 7:35 pm
    • I totally agree. Cathy may be great with the camera, but haven't the judges noticed that she's unable to get along with anyone she's been paired with?? I would NOT watch her show, knowing how she treats other people. And, other than the massive overdoing of what she called "styling" in the kitchen, while her partner slaved over the tile backsplash, & the poor rendering of seat pillows in the first episode, I can't remember anything memorable about any of her designs. She should have been sent home instead of Tyler, who at least has original ideas ! I WOULD HAVE PROVIDED NEGATIVE INPUT SOONER IF IT HADN'T BEEN SO HARD TO FIND A PLACE WHERE I COULD.

      Donna Schall on August 13, 2011 at 7:55 pm
    • I would LIKE this caption to say, "Cathy, I'm about to hurl you off of this show. Love, David."

      Linda on August 14, 2011 at 4:04 pm
    • This WTCH annot play with anyone so she is sucking up to David. He has more talent and personality than this awful person in his little finger than she soes but she thinks her stuff don't stink. GET HER OFF THE SHOW!!!!

      KHB on August 14, 2011 at 8:39 pm
    • I totally agree. I would not watch a show hosted by Cathy. Let's get her off the show now and I will watch the rest of the Design Star series.

      Helen on August 15, 2011 at 12:30 am
    • I agree. I don't like Cathy and she should be gone, but if you look at the fan vote, she is #2. We need to vote and get her off that spot. You can vote 10 times a day. I have been voting everyday. Hopefully that will help knock her off that spot, but I need help. All of you that don't like Cathy, please vote.

      BarbTre on August 15, 2011 at 9:40 am
    • I could not agree more with you, fanfair. I am very disappointed in HGTV, because it seems they're playing favoritism toward Cathy, due to her television experience. Quite honestly, I find her to be the most difficult person to watch, and she's clearly the most difficult designer for any of the other designers to work with. That should say something! I pray that she gets voted off very soon. I'm thinking about not watching Design Star, because I can't stand seeing her on it.

      Christa on August 15, 2011 at 2:29 pm
    • Total agreement with this statement. She is not a team player and she cannot take responsibility for her bad design pushy decisions.

      Ljs on August 15, 2011 at 5:16 pm
    • Cathy is so arrogant! She's telling David B. that she is the best, better than him even. I dislike Cathy and would never watch her on tv. Paleaze! Dislike and disgusted with HGTV!

      Sharron on August 15, 2011 at 6:28 pm
    • Totally agree – David B. must want to really throw up. Cathy is a control freak….she is very difficult to work with. Vote Cathy OFF. She is so disgusting. And her eyes look like they will pop – I could not watch a show with her on it – would have to change the channel….ewwww.

      Mia on August 15, 2011 at 9:22 pm
    • Even if her image is cleaned up, the damage is done. I am so tired of hearing her bully everyone, and continually repeat how terrific she is. Cathy, I will never watch a show featuring you because I can no longer listen to the sound of your voice. It is not the voice, it is what comes out of your mouth. Get a clue or get eliminated. Please

      Izzy. of Arizona on August 15, 2011 at 9:36 pm
    • This should read "Cathy you really don't know it all"

      Sally on August 16, 2011 at 2:33 am
  2. AND FURTHERMORE, I DON'T APPRECIATE HGTV TREATING ME LIKE I AM YOUR PUPPET. I am not going to REACT for you the way you THOUGHT your viewers would! I suggest the rest of you who post here do the same. DON'T GIVE HGTV THE SATISFACTION!

    fanfair123 on August 11, 2011 at 11:16 am
    • Unless HGTV wanted people to react like this and staged the whole thing to make Kathy look bad. I mean I don't like Kathy either but who knows…HGTV may not be showing us the whole story…

      Antonio Fan on August 12, 2011 at 8:02 pm
      • True. We only see what the producers want us to see. Like or dislike, it still stinks of staging and egging us on. Boo!

        fanfair123 on August 12, 2011 at 9:56 pm
    • I agree. She needs to go back to News reporting.

      Sheila on August 13, 2011 at 10:56 am
    • I agree! I can't stand Cathy and would NEVER watch a show with her on it. She is so bossy and snooty, she thinks she is the only one that can design. Can't stand her!

      RoseMary on August 14, 2011 at 11:40 pm
  3. sigh. Cathy should not be in this picture. she should be gone instesd of tyler.
    tyler was a really good designer with great taste. that was his first slip up and he left.
    Kevin should have left considering he has been in the bottom like 3 times

    J.B on August 11, 2011 at 11:29 am
    • I agreed. Cathy should had left!!!!

      Thania on August 11, 2011 at 8:47 pm
    • And it wasnt really that much of a slipup! they shouldve watched the tapes (design panel) and see that he was trying to save a wall! it actually looked pretty neat!! and cathy just spread eggs and bread everywhere, they really should watch the clips. I could do a 1200 times better than Cathy did and imma 14 yr old. XP

      Bob on August 11, 2011 at 10:48 pm
    • So glad so many others agree about Cathy–she seems to have NO creativity, just wants to shop while she assigns actual WORK to the men (or whoever she is paired with). And she has alienated ALL of them. So, she can speak well on camera–she can't DESIGN!

      Lynn on August 11, 2011 at 11:32 pm
  4. David: "Cathy, my dear, let me show you the way to the exit door!"

    CplusE on August 11, 2011 at 11:31 am
    • LOL! Funny :) I can totally picture David talking in that manner. Maybe without the exclamation at the end. But I still stand by what I said earlier. HGTV just wants to see their viewers all worked up and I don't like it. =/

      fanfair123 on August 11, 2011 at 11:51 am
      • I figured even David would not be able to keep the enthusiasm out of his voice for that task — hence the exclamation point. I've tried to stay away from the Cathy brouhaha, and haven't even posted here since two weeks ago in an attempt to avoid it, but this picture was just too much so I had to add a believable caption to it.

        CplusE on August 11, 2011 at 12:07 pm
        • Yeah, I hear ya. Good call on staying away. I just want HGTV to improve their way of creating content and programming. I doubt they are reading though.

          But well done on the caption!

          fanfair123 on August 11, 2011 at 12:14 pm
    • I LOVE THIS!!!!! LET US ONLY HOPE IT IS NEXT WEEK…….

      DAN on August 11, 2011 at 2:20 pm
    • I would never ever watch a show with Cathy in it. She is awful

      dewkat on August 11, 2011 at 7:20 pm
      • Agreed.

        Maybe it's only because I'm a viewer and not actually around the celebrities… but her "edge" doesn't seem to fit well with HGTV.

        Laura on August 13, 2011 at 5:59 pm
    • Yes, Cathy should have left first. She cannot work with any of the other designers. Doesn't the panel see that!

      Jan on August 11, 2011 at 8:27 pm
    • This is the best post yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      sue on August 12, 2011 at 12:51 pm
    • According to the voting Cathy is second behind Kelly. How is that possible? No one seems to like her at all so who is voting for her?

      Linda on August 12, 2011 at 1:36 pm
      • The same ones who voted for Obama.

        Guest on August 12, 2011 at 9:42 pm
        • Amen to that…….had the exact same thought myself!!

          okie915 on August 13, 2011 at 7:37 pm
      • Cathy has so many votes because some design @itch organization to which she belongs has a link to the voting site and encourages its members to vote 10 times a day. She's trying to rig the vote and settle for an on-line show because she knew her overbearing, "Look-at-Me; I've been published in three . . . three magazines" braggadocio would get her the boot.

        SkipShadow on August 16, 2011 at 6:29 pm
    • AMEN!! She is such a b!

      Guest on August 12, 2011 at 9:41 pm
    • She is rude, bossy and doesn't have the talent she think she has. If by some miracle she does win I can promise I will never watch her show!!!!!!!

      greatgram on August 14, 2011 at 10:30 pm
    • Love it!!

      BarbTre on August 15, 2011 at 9:41 am
    • This is soooo what I was going to say! The only reason someone would be smiling while talking to this bossy control freak would be to tell her to leave! I'm tired of her and have been tired of her terrible attitude since night 1!!

      sheri on August 15, 2011 at 9:17 pm
    • YES leave her behind i reaaly think she is rediculous… will quit watching shoe if she wins!!!!!!hgtv comlpeteley!!!!

      c huff on August 16, 2011 at 12:46 am
  5. "The Cathy Show" (similar to Tabatha's Salon Takeover) She marches into your place of employment, demanding that the boss make the place more hospitable for the employees…I mean, I would definitely watch THAT! It would be hysterical and a good way for her to channel all that CRAZY!

    Jeff on August 11, 2011 at 12:02 pm
  6. "Oh, David, you are so inferior to me. Soon, I'll take over YOUR show!!!!"

    Sue Hamilton on August 11, 2011 at 12:04 pm
    • That is so true. She thinks the world of design revolves aroun her. I hope she goes soon! I could not watch a show of hers she looks like a horse when she smiles. All teeth!

      Tam on August 11, 2011 at 12:35 pm
    • I totall agree with Sue! Cathy treats all the other designers like they are inferior to her. No cooperation whatsoever! It is uncomfortable to watch.

      Rita Carlisle on August 13, 2011 at 5:14 pm
  7. Please go back and read the caption from the first reponse by CplusE!
    The producers have let down the design audience and tried to make this into a silly, personality competition similar to other reality shows. They should build a campfire and start carrying spears to the vote-off episode!

    Bee on August 11, 2011 at 12:19 pm
    • Dee are you kidding. she is the most rude person on the show, why is she even on the show. I won't watch HGTV is she is on the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      guest on August 15, 2011 at 9:53 pm
  8. "Oh David PLEASE help me I have NO taste!"

    kristi on August 11, 2011 at 12:37 pm
    • true, true, true….she is gone and is doing her staging somewhere…probably in a global perspective

      danny on August 20, 2011 at 5:55 pm
  9. my caption:
    You're my inspiration to design a room as you have all the great things to love about a room

    mythoughts on August 11, 2011 at 1:08 pm
  10. I find it funny that so many people are against Cathy. I do wonder what is this world coming too, no I do not like everything she does however, it is a Design Show ……… who doesn't let there hair down from time to time.Vern and David knows exactly what to do with Miss Cathy. The caption should read, " Cathy you are finally letting us see the real you."

    Dee on August 11, 2011 at 1:09 pm
    • I really don't know what you are talking about.

      Linda on August 12, 2011 at 1:38 pm
    • No, the caption should read CATHYS A POSER!

      Bob on August 12, 2011 at 2:05 pm
    • People dont like cathy because she has an attitude every single week. We prefer people that are nicer. Just think about would you want to watch her show?

      Maria on August 12, 2011 at 3:36 pm
    • Your patience is impressive. But she isn't just keeping her hair up, she's bullying the other designers and being a real jerk. She can't work with anybody without a fight breaking out because she thinks she's superior for whatever reason.

      Antonio Fan on August 12, 2011 at 7:59 pm
    • Oh please! Her real personality stinks! And, more importantly, she has no sense of design or style. Let her hair down? By that do you mean showing disrespect to all the other designers she has worked with? I can't believe so many fans like her. Cathy distracts from the quality of the show. As far as her camera challenges, I feel like I'm watching the news. That's not what I watch a design show for. She has no appeal.
