Brittany is being robbed week after week. She is flying under the radar, which may be the safest spot. I think that she will "default" to the final three at least.

Brittany is somewhat like Casey from a past season. By the way, so what if she "loses her smile" in her camera competition (David's claim). We've got too many toothy tv personalities as it is. What is wrong with coming across as a serious personality.

Mikel, I don't thoroughly trust. I think that he is one among the most talented of the group, but I did not care for the way that he spoke to Hilari who was more than diplomatic with him.

Chris has confidence in what he wants and his designs. However, he lacks confidence in allowing those qualities to carry him without having to be greedy and stingy in working with others. He seems to have a bit of a superiority attitude and a need to crowd competitors out. That shouldn't be necessary.

He reminds me of Dan, who lost to Antonio a few seasons back.

Okay, Rachel. I thought that she was overrated from episode 1. She reminds me of Kellie from last season. I find them both to be mediocre at best. When I saw her imposing all those pink items, just because the child is a little girl, I immediately thought of Kellie and the missing bunk beds. There is no place for assumptions and personal bias in good design.

I think that Rachel should have gone home instead of Miera. Rachel's contribution this week was not just absent, it was sub-zero! The placement of the children's corner next to the garbage containers should have sent her home without even a second thought. I saw nothing else that she contributed and her camera presentation was void of substance and effect.

Stanley is working hard and trying to stay in there.

Sorry that Bez left so early. Her white room was one of the best, I thought. I don't think that we got the chance to see her best work.

Danielle seems to do her best work when working alone. "After I put out all the fires, I can then begin my work" will not play out well in this context. If she is able to maintain focus with her own personal mission for the project, she should be okay for the duration of the competition. If she is ever coupled with Chris, she may just become invisible enough to be sent home.

Hilari has the most pleasant personality. She is trying to show her best without disparaging others. Good for her! If Meg could win last season, Hilari certainly should be able to win it this season.

Sorry I disagree about Miera-she is not a pleasant person and would never make it as a host. The whole thing about the garbage cans was kind of stupid- all she needed to do was add a screen and it would have been covered-besides anyone with kids around would know you might want to keep the garbage can near by for messes. lol

As far as Stanley goes- twice they have told him he needs to be more in the design part and less in the construction part.I think they need to just tell him "you aren't the winner of DS but you will be the handy man for the winner".

Rachel designed the fence that Stanley built. The kids area was maybe not well thought out but she shouldn't go home for that. I don't really think the judges send them home for one mistake, other then the first episode when someone has to go. I think we don't get to hear all the reasons why someone goes home.

I think Rachael has a lot of potential. She cannot be compared to Kelly from last season. Some of Rachael's designs has really be stunning.

I'm glad that Miera has gone home. I dont think I would have watched her if she won.

Stanley is definitely talented in building stuff. But the episode where he helped on that collage was really horrible. He seems to be able to get someone else's vision executed.

This year I think Hilary, Brittany & Danielle has a good chance of winning. Really liked all their rooms this week.

with both Luca & Miera gone, I wonder whos going to bring in more drama now.
