  • In the Works: More Genius, a Wipeout and More | Today's News: Our Take | 12/7/2007
    Bravo has ordered second seasons of both Shear Genius (Jaclyn Smith will return as heavenly host) and Top Design, to begin casting shortly and debut next year.... ABC has ordered Wipeout, a reality pilot in which 50 contestants navigate "the world's largest obstacle course" en route to a $50,000 prize, says the Reporter. The show is described as "Fear Factor with none of the gross" — but all of the implants!.... USA Network has extended its contract for WWE Monday Night Raw by two years, through 2010. read more
  • April 11, 2007: Lofty Visions | Top Design Show Blog | 4/12/2007
    "Was there any question, really, people? Seriously." — Matt.No, Matt, no indeed. Both his and Carisa's final projects were gorgeous and inspired personal visions. But Matt dependably exuded his polished, sophisticated and serene self — an aesthetic that's a bit older and more refined than Carisa's, and a better match with the tastes of Elle Decor's Margaret Russell. Though Todd told them they'd have two months for this challenge, let's be honest: They really only had five days. Two months of conceptualizing and formulating a plan and phoning the PDC, yes, but five days to install flooring, walls, paint, furniture, kitchen cabinets and appliances, curtains, etc, throughout a 1,700-square-foot loft in downtown Los Angeles. Two months later and three days away from the deadline, both found themselves over budget at the PDC and behind schedule back at their respective lofts, despite the added carpenters (did you see Sarah?) and crew. Both finalists chose black floors that... read more

  • April 4, 2007: The Trinity | Top Design Show Blog | 4/5/2007
    Oh, Matt, don't scare me like that! Why that momentary crisis of confidence? I was quite surprised he wasn't more gung-ho about tonight's task. Granted, designing a high-end living room inspired by an Elle Decor cover for $7,500 total was a tall order. Still, chic luxury is his shtick and he's succeeded with a limited budget several times in this game. And surely he knows how to spell "Los Angeles." Clearly, the pressure was finally getting to him.Indeed, by the end of the second day, every member of the Design trinity had pulled a Goil/Jan Brady by freaking out over some aspect of the challenge. Carisa made a biting but hilarious crack about Andrea's wall color ("nothing says happy like gray"), and suddenly Andrea realized she'd wasted time and effort (not to mention some embroidering) painting her room's gray walls with another horribly neutral shade of gray. Carisa's drama centered on her carpenter (as usual), as they bickered over divergent visions of the back wall's stone... read more
  • March 28, 2007: March Madness' Other Final Four | Top Design Show Blog | 3/29/2007
    Opening tonight's show with a trip to the Viceroy Hotel to see Kelly Wearstler's handiwork was evidence that while her sense of taste may be lacking on her person, it's not half bad when adapted for walls and furniture. But there wasn't much Wearstler worship before the contest's final four focused on their latest task: Design a luxury hotel suite for a high-end/boutique hotel that incorporates a natural element. (Each randomly chose between earth, air, water or fire.)With three days (positively lengthy for this show), Goil still had his weekly nervous breakdown, and Carisa was pouting yet again (though with an added cocky smirk, I noticed). Andrea's verbal claws were sharper this round, talking a little trash about her competition and bemoaning her assigned "earth" element. As for Matt — please, someone just give him this competition already! He quietly designs sleek, cohesive high-end visions, and the nice lad works well with others, too. His focus shifted entirely to his... read more
