Is anyone watching Ellen's Design Challenge?

[sparrowsong]

It's like Project Runway, but they make furniture. And there are only six designers, so it will be over fast. Ellen Degeneres (sp?) is the host.

I miss TV Without Pity and having a place to go to read/talk about shows...

Wasn't that already a failed concept on Bravo? Or was it interior design? I forget.

I'm there with you on TWP. I read recaps of shows I didn't watch for all the hilarity.

I really wish we had cable so I could watch.

You can try Fans of Reality TV forums for opinions about reality shows. I miss TWOP too.

It was ok. I thought they should have gotten rid of the woman who clearly was a b-rat to her assistant. I also thought they were unnecessarily harsh to the guy who did the chair but then I realized they are looking for more function than art.

What happened to TWP?

[shortstax]

I watched and found it enjoyable (I also love Project runway, and it was JUST LIKE THAT.)

However 2 things caught me off guard.

1) There was an awful lot of hugging between contestants, contestants and their carpenters, etc. It was weird.
2) The girl who got 2nd place last night--her voice was SO GRATING. It's like she wanted us to believe she was 8 years old. SO ANNOYING.

shortstax Yes the girl that was the blacksmith was hugging waaaaay too long and even DH was like "wtf? that's weird and awkward"

Exactly. DH and I predicted a Blacksmith/Carpenter hookup by the end of the season, lol.

I only watched for a little bit and didn't even seen one bit of Ellen.

I think you're thinking of the Spike TV show Framework. It's essentially Ink Master for people building furniture.

Yes, the hugging. I was wondering if the had drinks back stage while waiting for their turns.

Agree the crayon drawing, I'm still a little girl, was annoying.

And the bitchy lady... Ugh. She must have been cast for potential for drama. She was horrible.
