This series take 13 contestants and puts them thru challenges that are judged by Jonathen Adler, Margaret Russell and Kelly Wearstler, all of which are established interior designers in there own right. The only difference between this show and HGTV's Design Star is that Top Design get 100K and a 4 page spread in Elle Decor Magazine, while HGTV's Design Star gets money and there own show!.....You tell me who gets the better deal!
The shows resident design guru is Todd Oldman ( think Tim Gunn....just less formal), which is a suprise to any fashionista as he started out as a well known NYC Fashion Designer,....even had a show on MTV called House of Style. He just kind of evolved into the Interior Design......remember his Target Line, before Issac Mizrahi did it?
The Most Annoying Charecter on this show, by far is Andrea ( Don't associate me with my d list husband) Schroder!
She starts off her interview, by saying she doesn't want to be associated with Ricky Schroder and wants to be recognized on her own merit and is so afraid of people finding out.....but then why even mention it? No one cares about your barely D List Husband...I mean, he hasnt had a hit television show since NYPD Blue back in the 90's ...and they killed him off without him even being there to film it. Last time I check using the name Ricky Schroder will probably get you laughed out of Mr. Chow's not into it! And to top it all off she is very bossy and controlling... I forsee alot of Drama from her side! She completely threw her other team mates under the bus during the critique for the first challenge
Which was to decorate an apartment with 4 teams of 3 based on Judges taste. Her team's apartment landed in the bottom with the only salvagable area being that bedroom, which she took credit for and ultimately stayed to design another day.
One of my favorites is Wisit, a fashion designer out of Illinois... he created these shadow boxes during a design challenge to win immunity
He really seems to be creative and with his Fashion Design background, he could think "outside of the box" in a way that may give him the upper hand.......
The show is worth watching and can't wait to see what happens next
Top Design Airs Wensdays at 10pm on Bravo
