Thanks for that first picture, guys. I just threw up my coffee and yogurt.

damn the intro song for this show is annoyin as all hell

Elizabeth was bad, but Ryan was awful. And precisely because, as Flipip pointed out, he's proud of his tackiness which in his delusion he has confused with "artistry".

YAY! You put the cabana boys! Best part of the episode if you ask me.

That and Wiggum boy inside the mattress. What a hoot.

You rock it as usual Flip.

Ok - now I know why I read your posts. They are so superior to the show it makes subjecting myself to that crap that is Top Design worthwhile.

Ryan-the-Red-Faced ass should have been show the "White Room Egress" instead of lady with the great jewelry. So it was lime? SO? Lime is beachy...just ask my Corona.

Hate Kelly.
Love Margaret.
Hate OddMan.
Love Bare Chested Sweaty Bulging Bags of Meat!

what i can.t understand, at all, is how these people are designers yet design their bodies in such insane clothing! Party Barbie.s boobs looked like weapons in that shirt, i was half expecting her to use them to poke confessions out of the designers!

on the other hand, this recap made me laugh so hard i peed my pants right off! and that.s some hard laughing!

I didn't even watch the episode, but I thoroughly enjoyed your recap Flipit! All the cabanas looked good, but I'd hang out in a cardboard box if those cabana boys were waiting on me!

I haven't watched this show, but when I saw Flipit was writing the recap, I had to read this. What a hoot. I may have to watch this show on one of the hundred times it's aired.
That last picture looks like Cybil Shepard.

OMG I laughed so hard at the picture of the couch cushion fort on the beach.

On a side note, last week there was a section in the NY Post about what NYC celebs were doing for valentine's day and Jonathan Adler said that he was going to sleep a half hour late, eat french toast, and play ping pong in his underwear with his boyfriend. As soon as I read that I slightly fell in love with him, despite the "see ya later decorator!"

Flipit, are you going to take over Project Runway? I hope so. I'm still reading your recaps even though I no longer have cable. I want there to be a Flipit trifecta of Bravo recaps!

oh, and about "see ya later decorator" -- wasn't there a contest on the Bravo website for random people to make up the good-bye phrase? If so, it makes a little more sense why it's so retarded.

Did anybody notice Barbie's hairstyle in the previews for next week? She may be a talented designer but Lord almighty who is dressing this woman?

#11---i saw that, thought the same thing! Between the rehashed Madonna & last week's BRIGHT BLUE socks w/ strappy heels (yet she was complaining about Miami's colors??) & next wk's poodle rip-off, I'm wondering who her stylist is.

Anyhow, Clarissa, Larissa, whatever the hell her name is: SHUT. UP!!! i'll even say Please.

thank you, Flipit, you make this show more enjoyable than it truly is!

1 - The sad truth? A normal looking guy would have lost me at purple socks.
2 - Oh, sweetie. You're the manliest thing on this show.
3 - At least pretend you're busy, Gay Dad. You can force yourself to do it with a girl at least enough times to make a baby, I think you can handle wiping your nose and working a screw gun for a few hours

Three reasons why even though I don't watch this show, I read your re-caps. HI-LAR-I-OUS!! (It totally helps that you're hot) Great job flipit!!

you guys are hilarious and wonderful.

sorry, but the old man butt crack was too hilarious to pass up, #1. Cherin, the story of Jonathan playing ping pong in his underwear with his man both grossed me out and brought tears to my eyes, and fycin, i didn't know they came up with "c ya l8r decorator!" from a viewer vote. gross. i watch tv to get away from real people and their f ing opinions. of course i don't mean us....

i'm glad that there are some people watching this show, and that they are you guys. birds of a feather get cancelled together.

Flipit's recaps are the best part of the show because to me, TD in and of itself is unwatchable. I can't figure out why Project Runway works and this doesn't. Maybe it's because interior design is inherently more subjective, I don't know. But without Flipit's Ralph Wiggum and Gay Dad commentary (not sure if I can forgive that opening screen cap) I would have tuned out of the show a couple of weeks ago.

Oh, and I want to cast my unsolicited vote for Flipit as the Project Runway recapper when it comes back for the fourth season.

Greeneyes, I am right there with you in that I can barely stomach TD but LOVE Project Runway.

I think the biggest part of my dislike, though, are the personalities on Top Design (there is no Laura). None of these people can take criticism and none of the judges can even take criticism or pointers from their fellow judges because they are ALWAYS right. We all know one or two people like this; but this show if full of them. SERIOUSLY, every single one of them on this show thinks that he/she is the greatest thing to ever walk on the planet.

Ryan, the "artist," is total crap. His art is probably even shitty.

Elizabeth was so delusional. Your colors were shitty.

Everything Michael touches is shitty.

Okay, enough "shitty" comments. But these guys are all too much. The married father is the best reason to watch this show. I honestly haven't figured out yet if he knows that he is gay.

I think Goil has talent and I actually don't mind some of Clarissa's (?) work. Ryan calling her "conservative" was a joke. There was NOTHING conservative about her jungle bedroom. I was glad that he was called out on his terrible Pier 1 shopping. As much as I love Pier 1, I was disappointed with the furnishings in each of the cabanas. They each looked as if they were furnished with Pier 1 -- and I never thought this would be a bad thing until I saw entire rooms filled with NOTHING but Pier 1 furnishings. And it wasn't good. Next time send them to two stores. I guess there can be a thing as "too much Pier 1."

I don't know what is worse about this show -- the cast and judges or that dreadful ("dreadful" doesn't even cut it really) goodbye, "see you later decorator." It makes me want to drop a boulder on my head every time I hear it. Icky.

I couldn't wait for this episode to be over because I could STAND to hear "Tahiti" one more time.
