Top Design: Auf Wiedersehen Big Daddy
Here’s the recap for last night’s Top Design. Project Runway designers return and the Top Design wannabes are charged with creating window displays to show off the designer’s newest fashions. Ondine scores the top design for Sweet Pea’s butterfly-filled window (bottom left) and poor Kerry gets a one-way ticket back to Georgia thanks to his busy and dark window for Jeffrey Sebelia (bottom right). Guessers, give yourselves a pat on the back: Ondine was on just about everyone’s top 3 list, while Kerry was on no one’s. We’re on a roll people!

I must vent a bit, however, because Top Design is starting to rub me the wrong way. Here’s why:
- Shazia: Why is that girl still there? At least Kerry (aka Big Daddy) was somewhat entertaining.
- Window Displays: Not really the same as designing a room, so it’s no surprise most of the designers stumbled. Can we have some more home-based challenges up in here? I wanna see the designers do what they’re best at.
- Individual Challenges: Throw us one, please. I know it’s expensive to furnish and makeover so many rooms, but c’mon, your budget is showing.
- BravoTV.com: Can we get some decent photos of the final rooms? Everything looks uglier as a screen shot, so pay the designers some respect and take a few decent hi-res photos of the final spaces. It would certainly give us bloggers a hand.
Not that any of that will stop us from watching. What can I say, we have no shame when it comes to our addiction to reality shows.
And here’s your updated contestant sheet sans Kerry:

Thanks for the correction, Kara! I guess I just got confused since I keep thinking about how critical Santino was throughout the episode.
Wisit definitely was on thin ice, but I’m glad they hung on to him for another episode.

I totally agree about the individual challenge. I’m waiting to see what each designer on their own. It looks like they’ll be working in teams yet again next week (and there seems to be some major drama with Eddie next week), so it’ll at least be another episode past that until there’s an individual challenge.
I still have no idea about Teresa’s design aesthetic at all as I haven’t seen her but couple minutes in the first three episodes.
our television stopped working right before the season began! i think a surge went through it during a storm. i am so disappointed, i was really looking forward to watching it (especially kelly w. and her amazing clothes/hair). i scoped out the bravo site a little, and it looks like an entertaining show. thanks for keeping those of us who can’t watch it posted! :)
Okay firstly let me say I totally agree I can not for the life of me understand why Shazia is still there. She definitely should’ve been let go the first episode.
Secondly, I love love love Wisit. He is sooo super cute and I love when he, clutches his pearls. lol.
And I am soo over the host. Why, why why is she there… Super dry and useless. At this point I would prefer Todd as the host.






















I really really really thought Wisit should’ve gone home last night.
fyi…the room on the bottom right was for Jeffery, not Santino, he had the weird cape outfit with the pink shoe-polished walls :)
