Funny how you can go along without watching a show for a while and then a new season starts and you suddenly find yourself enmeshed in finding out who will be the next Food Network Star or - in my case, the next Design Star. The winner will get his own show on HGTV. There were 10 contestants in the beginning. The show is down to the final four and I have the timer set for tonight's show. I have even been voting for my favorite. You can go online and vote for a favorite designer too. If you do, I urge you to support Courtland Bascon. No, really. Go. Vote. You can vote up to 10 times a day. This is one election you can influence and see it happening right then. Not unlike Chicago politics. Apparently nobody liked Nina - she has zero percent of the vote. And you can vote for a designer even though he has been removed from the competition by the judges. Sort of like when an election is held and the people elect a politician who has been run over by a bus and is no longer among the living. I'm telling you - this show is a slice of real life!
The judges are usually Vern Yip, Candace Olson and Genevieve Gorder. In the event one of the judges can't be on the show in a particular week, another HGTV star fills in. That's fair, right?
Last week, Alex got removed. He really wasn't standing up for his design choices. He needed to go.
The final four are Courtland Bascon, Emily Henderson, Casey Noble and Michael Moeller. I haven't liked Michael's attitude over the life of the show. He's kind of a cocky guy and was the main reason Alex got removed last week. After tonight, there will be three designers left. Even if Courtland gets removed, I'm going to keep right on voting for him as a fan favorite. Maybe he can get out of the 4 percent range. Come on, people - go over to HGTV and help push Courtland Bascon into a higher bracket.
Then we'll get busy on the mid-term elections in our own communities. Remember, Early Voting starts next week. Practice at HGTV for the real thing! Go Courtland!

It is so funny that while Alicia was here, we were united in rooting for Nina to go home. If you could have voted against someone, we would have done it.
Courtland is a cutie but he has such a thing for orange walls. (twice he has committed an orangey accent wall!) If he can get over that . . .
Okay, okay, I hear you. I'll go vote for him. Ten times.
Thanks, he got sent home last night but he hugged the final three and told them to Go Get 'Em! So he has class, if he does like orange overmuch!
Vern Yip, luv what he did with cobalt blue glass and paint to a home owner’s house on Trading Spaces. He designs with a great deal of cleverness.
