HGTV's Design Star spawns an uprising
The fifth season of HGTV's Design Star debuts on Sunday night . Yeah, I'll watch it. But it'll be the way somebody watches a train wreck. Here's the promo shot.
Guts? Glory? Glam? Come on, it is indoors layout; and hokey indoors design at that. Can we please prevent caging interior layout in terms that conjure acts of bravery and bold-do?
Anyhow, Design Star has a panel of judges made up of HGTV's resident stars; Vern Yip, Genevieve Gorder and Candice Olson. They furrow their brows and act mean for the cameras as the contestants whip out poorly-executed rooms in a vain attempt to communicate their signature styles. Ugh.
I think the whole organisation does a disservice to our honorable career and the display would advantage from some levity. A whole lot of levity.
A couple of us were opining about the show on Twitter last night when @layersandlayers and @ZiaPriven and I came up with the idea to draft Joy and Janet, the Moggit Girls, to be judges on Design Star.
Any why not? They are already HGTV stars in their own right and they would counteract the sitting judges' mean-ness perfectly.
The future of humanity itself hangs in the balance here if I can borrow some of HGTV's heroism talk. If you're a Twitterer, join our movement. The Moggit Girls tweet as @moggitgirls and when you tweet your demands that they be cast to sit in the throne of judgment, use the hashtag #judgemoggits. If anybody has a better idea for a hashtag, let me know.
C'mon children, let's start an HGTV uprising, a revolution. To the barricades!
