design turd episode 6: oh my god oh my god!!! what does it meeeean?? a complete double elimination all the way!!!

 there were clues this week regarding the double complete rainbow elimination outcome.

look-

double caseys:

 

double douches:

 

and another ridiculously right field design challenge.

trump jr. was there to show off douche towers new jersey or something like that and vern told the turds they had to design a model room epitomizing the trump brand of luxury.

and then made them choose a bunch of bullshit souvenir bags to use as their inspiration.

plastic toys are so luxurious.

just like the inside of my butt.

so each turd walked over to pick a bag...

and like little yodas it would appear that the bags picked them..

casey picked the architecture and buildings bag.

stacey picked the checker cabs bag.

alex picked the big apple bag.

tom picked the statue of liberty bag.

emily picked the subway.

courtland picked the times square bag.

and

michael picked the broadway bag.

if only nina were still here i am certain she would have picked the graffiti bag.

like every other week each turd had their "moment" in the room and then worked collaboratively on the space as a whole.

here is the winning room done by the blue team that was michael, casey, alex and emily:

i think it eats peentop.

 

and the winning moment:

 alex's little "big apple pillow".

he deconstructed his bag to make a pillow.

winner!!

 

the losing space done by the red team or, the other knuckleheads:

these monkeys spent a fucking crackload of money at ABC carpet and home and this is how they put it together?!

mother fucker.

fuck you rug on an angle.

(but someone please deliver it to my house after this sideshow is over)

as a whole i adore the furniture way more in this space than the flaxy leathery boxy mess of the winning room.  

honestly..

different colored walls, a bigger rug, a couple of gorgeous chairs, more lighting, a few key art pieces, and curtains...you would have won this one red team..

 

and then stacey completely bozo'd the bed:

(shakes head in disgust)

she put a fucking box spring in the bed, NO mattress, added some horrible sheets and called it a day.

her reason was she felt that taking away the mattress would give the headboard more height and more height equals luxury.

here's what else equals luxury stacey..

A MATTRESS UNDER SOME HIGH QUALITY BEDDING AND SOFT, SQUISHY PILLOWS!!!!!!!!

and her losing moment:

a taxi under a cloche.

while under normal circumstances i could see this on a mantle or on a table or something and it being somewhat cute but for a design challenge when you have to incorporate your bag into something artistic and substantial this is a FAIL.

but that bed nonsense is a far far bigger fail in my mind.

 

and then there's tom...

tom painted the whole bathroom blue.

walls, ceiling and door.

later changing the door back to white.

 

and the judges show up wearing a very similar shade of blue...

mandice in a slutty stewardess/slutty cop halloween costume..

and they hate the blue bathroom..

weird.

i didn't hate the blue bathroom.

i felt like he at least made a choice to go bold.

sure his creepy, manic ADD personality took it to a level of crazy but look at the winning team's bathroom:

what the cock is this shit??

look, you know i love me a white bathroom but this looks like they just skipped over it.

and isn't this building called trump towers new jersey?

and isn't this the type of person who would live in a trump tower?

which bathroom do you think they would go for?

 

in any case. the red team is the losing team.

during the judging vern was karate chopping everyone's face with hate lasers.

especially stacey, who had zero defense for her turdy choices.

vern sent stacey packing without even watching her host reel.

he was incensed by that bed and cab-under-a-cloche.

but wait there's more!!!!

vern tells courtland and tom that one of them is going home too!

both host reels suck dick but for some reason tom's sucked bigger dick.

that and his blue bathroom.

so vern sent him back to his creepy cabin by the lake to carve more wooden dolls heads..

at least that's where i think tom might be going.

 

 

design turd episode 5: the final nural

nina goes home.

we saw this coming though didn't we?

you can't make snail trails and paint pink boxes meant to be "conceptualized" as orchids and expect to go far in a design competition right?

she offered up zero design.

unless you consider painting projects, design.

i don't.

i consider them painting projects.

so good fucking riddance then, right?

and we are watching this show for the design element, right?

not bc we want her around for the drama she creates..or should i say the producers are creating..

not me.

i want a bunch of fucking talented folks to take spaces and transform them into something interesting and/or beautiful.

with furniture and fabric, paint and architectural accents, accessories and lighting.

i want to see talented, creative people use their skills to make a shell of a room into something amazing.

that's all.

i see bloggers do it all the time.

FUCK YOU FUCKING HGTV!

 

so i will attempt to BLOG. THIS. DREARY. FUCKING. BULLLLLLLSHIIIITTTT!!!!!!!

here's your winning design "element"....

casey painted a fireman.

which i actually like as an art piece in a firestation.

but overall the wining space sucked my butthole just as much as the losing space..

FUCKING LOOK AT IT GODDDAMN IT!!!!!! :

that sky line mural is alex's.

WHAT GODFORSAKEN DESIGN SCHOOL IS TEACHING PEOPLE THAT MURALS ARE AWESOME???

BURN THAT PLACE DOWN IMMEDIATELY!

oh, should i have backed up and told you what this challenge was about?

ok...sorry.

2 teams:

red team:

tom, nina, courtland, stacey and your mom

blue team:

emily, michael, casey, alex and your dick

give 2 fire station's a room to decompress and chill in.

that should also serve as a place for powerpoint presentation or something.

 

i can tell you next what happens is these turds fucking start building shit out of cheap supplies and it's all fucking sad clown bullshit.

emily builds a table (again, this is the winning room).

she also tells us that she doesn't build tables she buys them and that she is worried that this is going to look like a kindergarten art project...

guess what emily..

IT LOOKS LIKE A KINDERGARTEN ART PROJECT!!!!

DID SOMEONE HAVE A GUN TO YOUR HEAD AND TELL YOU TO MAKE A FUCKING STUPID, CONTRIVED TABLE???

IF I WERE ONE OF THOSE JUDGES I WOULD HAVE RIPPED THAT SHIT OFF THE FLOOR AND TOSSED IT INTO THE GODDAMN FIRE SIMULATOR!!!!!!!

and now on to the losing room..

what you are about to see made vern go from mad...

to crazy mad gaysian...

here it is...

the losing space:

stacey carved out a number 5 and spray painted a piece of mdf gold and mounted it.

this friends was the judges favorite part!!!

the FUCKING NUMBER 5!!!?????

on a FUCKING PLAQUE!!???????!!!!!!

also nina was responsible for the fucking repellent furniture and the braile nural...

which she said was a functioning corkboard and also some shit about hidden messages and the fireman's motto or creed or SOME SUCH FUCKING CRAZY CLAPTRAP!

and courtland who is probably the biggest douche on this entire show..

gave us a 70's porn rape basement..

do any of these fucking blockheads have any style?

would miles redd make a fucking braille corkboard in a firestation lounge?

what would the novogratz's do?

remember what they did with the men's gym?

yeah, it's fucking awesome.

i probably wouldn't do the lavender wallpaper for burly firefighters but that is not even remotely a problem that couldn't be addressed.

i fucking hate this show.

now..

onto some shit that's been on my mind...

 

 

 

i started recapping these turd shows last season.

to my knowledge i was the only blogger doing so.

at least in the tell-it-like-it-is-with-red-scribble-and-drawings that i became known for.

i enjoyed doing it.

it was my thing.

 

now there are so many blogs out there recapping this shit pageant.

very similar to mine.

which leaves me feeling a little dry and uninspired.

     i kind of feel like what's the point?

i don't get excited about recapping this show anymore.

and i don't want to be one in a list of bloggers who blog about the same show.

it makes me feel all gross inside.

afterall what would desire to inspire do if MFAMB started doing "monday's pets on furniture"?

only i changed it to "tuesday's pets on furniture"..

wouldn't that be kind of weird?

i'm not saying i own all rights to design star recaps.

i certainly don't.

but i also don't want to be a clone.

thoughts?

 

 

design turd episode 4: mandice not rocking mancoats. oh, and another terrible idea for a challenge.

dear mandice,

i can't be sure how tall you are but i am guessing 8 ft?

those coats aren't doing you any favors.

plus, when have you ever seen one of these long coats on anyone other than morpheus from the matrix?

i would prefer to see you in a coat that hits mid bottom.  this would cut you off in just the right spot so as to not super elongate your already giraffe type proportions.

otherwise you look like a caterpillar emerging from it's pupa.

also what's up with vern's madonna bracelet?

speaking of vern and mancoats:

this was the challenge opener.

"you so funny vern".

see what happened was mandice told the turds that they needed to design a space around a flower.

each turd picked a flower and then vern shows up with all flowers made into a bullshit bouquet.

which is precisely why this shit was doomed before it even started.

as in give each turd a room to turn into something beautiful inspired by their flower.

right??!

wrong!!!!

now that all of you have picked your flowers we are going to mix them up into this ugly ass bouquet in a mandiced proportioned cylindrical vase and then you get a corner of a room to show how your flower works with all the other flowers while still showing your individuality and making this room pretty..

record screeching....

eh? come again?

is hgtv 'avin a laff?

here are the list of the turd's flowers:

nina- orchid

casey- hyacinth

emily- wax flower

stacey- carnation

alex- snapdragon

dan- daffodil

courtland-  lily

tom- tulip

michael- ranunculus

 

surprisingly the rooms seemed as cohesive as they could have been and there were a few pretty designer-y moments.

this is pretty much what both teams started off with..

nina started off talking about the powers of faux wainscoting and "nurals" as per usual..

neens,

murals are not cool. and unless you are michaelangelo they are never good.

anyway, she produced said spawn. and i added a mural of my own for aide purposes.

she also gave us this:

a sexy backless shirt and nude brawr. 

i didn't think this was the type of shirt you could wear a brawr with.

therefore if you can't NOT wear a brawr you can't wear a shirt that would require you to go brawrless.

i for one would knock someone out if i went brawrless. i have seen your tits neens and they are massive as well.  probably best to leave this blouse to the boobless.

overall the women + dan's room was my favorite.

i really enjoyed the faux wainscoting actually AND the tonal variation with the blue.

although i think there is a lot of busyness here that i would have toned down..the hits of hot pink, the brown rug, the pillows...i don't know..

take away the pink square on the wall and the hot pink ottoman..replace it with something a little beaten up or worn... or....burn that shit velveteen rabbit style and do something like this instead:

or this:

and the swing is gimmicky and stupid.

overall its too lady pretty.

 

 

unfortunately for dan...

 

his cluster of daffodil inspired picture frames hung like turds, wasn't enough...

 

 

over on the men's team we have minimal, airy and boring..

 

somwhere in here is courtland's lily...

 

unfortunately alex said that the snapdragons reminded him of asparagus..

maybe?

 

but sadly his snapdragon/asparagus art installation wasn't snapdragon-y or asparagus-y enough..

i'll tell you what DOES look like asparagus:

so with alex and dan in the bottom two who's host reel would suck the hardest?

that unfortunate honor went to dan.

so sad dan.

you shouldn't have become your team's handy man and focused more on your wall of turds.

nobody won either by the way.

there were just a top 4 and a bottom 4.

no idea who the top 4 were.

but nina, courtland, alex and dan were the bottom 4.

and i guess that's all that really matters.

dan, if you want there are a few "jobs" over here you could hammer out for me...

word turd.

 

design turd episode 3: invasion of the turd snatcher

it is evident in this weeks fartparade that vern, mandice and narcolepsy (aka genevieve) are really just turd eating zombies who love murals.  gene narcolepsy reminds the losing turds that at the end of this clownshow "one of you will become ONE OF US." 

let me explain what that means.

the winner of this poop will go on to star in a show that highlights diy crafts, paint by numbers murals, taking perfectly good outdoor spaces and turning them into contrived sets based on several musical instruments. among other terribleness. awesome.  where do i sign up?

here's the rundown for all you lucky people who don't have to endure this dreck.

the turds met on a trump roof where a bunch of embarrassed jazz musicians had to sample their instruments so the turds could choose which one would serve as inspiration for an outdoor room.

then OF COURSE they had to combine instruments to work together.

these challenges are getting stupider, if that's possible.

anway..

here are the turd/instrument choices:

courtland-cello

dan-guitar

tom-sax

michael-tromboner

alex-congos (bongos? is there a difference?)

emily-tuba

casey-xylophone

nina- french whorn

trent-keyboard

stacey- strumpet

 

got it??

 

dan gets moved to the girls team and he seems to be the calm, sexy force the girls need to keep them from eating each other's faces off.

(dan "drill me" faires)

 

the men spy a giant bamboo day bed that would be perfect to represent alex's chosen bongo drums.

but sadly when they try to get it in the elevator it won't fit.

so instead alex chooses to forgo the main seating as his representation and goes all literal and gets two round, blue ottomans.  way to think outside the bongocongo.

cut to truckerhat trent buying some christmas trees for the space, cuz nothing says keyboard like a christmas tree.  courtland and michael are trying to sing christmas carols as a passive aggressive hint. but trent just can't get on the court-michael gay train cuz it's going too fast.  it is cramping his straight, truckerhat style.

nothing says straight man like a trucker hat and keyboards.

and nothing says keyboards like a grill.

unless you do like i used to and pretend to play the grill like it is a keyboard and you are nick rhodes of duran duran. then i am all over that shit! air keyboards are the best!

(trent's keyboard inspired space)

 

next up is courtland and his sedona arizona venetian plaster cello inspired wall of sweet potato puree.

that's like saying here is my belgian wallper inspired cheeseplate!!

 (alex's and courtland's areas)

 

 

back on the girls team..

dan is hard at work carrying plants for stacey..

watching emily's boobs...

overall just being a sexyface..

i'm pretty sure he's the reason for nina's snail trail mural..

she tells us that a french whorn is "deep, dark and brassy".  (so is my vagina coincidentally)

emily tells us she "hates" the snail trail mural.

i do too emily. it's contrived and stupid. but so are those fucking slats.

the only bit i liked in this space is the long table with the white tablecloth and potted plants.

 

back over at camp gay the guys are hard at work putting together this bullshit:

you knew at some point homeslicer would put up those extension-cord-and-a-lightbulb things he's famous for back home.

tom gave us this sitting area which isn't that bad but when you pair it with the fucking fauxrange plaster wall that courtland vommed you have combined enough of a disconnect for vern to say fuck you men, you lose.

but then when you find out that nina and her snail trail won!!!!!

well, then that's when i head straight for the medicine cabinet and a healthy dose of horse tranquilizer.

as in neither of these rooms were good.

so the bottom two were bongo alex and trucker hat trent with the keyboard grill.

both of their host performances were terrible.

mandice's penis shrank, narcolepsy didn't see it bc she was sleeping and vern shot laser acid out of his eyes at everyone.

just before the judges were about to announce which turd was going to be flushed trent had something to say.

it went like this:

" since i arrived i have only contributed a few wooden palm fronds and a grill.  there are too many chatty kathy's over here and they are making me want to crawl inside my trucker hat and go to sleep. i can't be inspired by their gayness. i need a calm environment to be creative. this whole process is too much like a game show and i hate all of you and your ass faces!"

to which vern replied:

"what a coinky-dinky. we can't see you and your palm fronds being good enough for a prime time show.

(pointing zombie finger) NOT ONE OF US!!!!!!!!!!!!"

you're better off trent.

trust.

besides go back to 30 rock.

its a MUCH better show.

sticky vagina trails forever!!!!!!!!!
