I am slightly encouraged by the changes made since last season. The best one is having David Bromstad host the show. What a no-brainer -- he is so relaxed on-camera and has great skill in relating to the contestants, having "been there, done that."

Who are you going to watch closely? Last week I was impressed by Danielle and Rachel. I reviewed each person's online portfolio quite thoroughly and must say that I agree with other posters that the quality of the contestants is much, much higher than in prior seasons.

Somehow my subconscious mind has a little nagging thought though: were these people actually responsible for everything in each room they submitted, or maybe just certain items?Does anyone know what the contest rules are regarding to projects submitted by contestants? (can they submit a room where they just styled it, or provided one or two items?)

Well I'm in the Pacific time zone, so the show won't be on for almost five hours.

Happy viewing, everyone!
