HGTV Design Star
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HGTV Design Star is a reality show that premiered Sunday, July 23, 2006 and aired new episodes on HGTV every Sunday night at 9 PM Eastern Daylight Time/Pacific Daylight Time, with encore presentations Thursdays at 8 PM E/P and Saturdays at 6 PM E/P.[1]
The show is hosted by Clive Pearse. Vern Yip, Cynthia Rowley, and Martha McCully serve as the show's three judges.
Each week the contestants participate in an interior design challenge, such as redecorating a New York apartment using a color (red, yellow, blue, or green) chosen at random or redecorating a small living room using only supplies bought from a camping store, cosmetics store, pet store, or auto parts shop.
The contestants compete for their own design show on HGTV. Each week the judges eliminate one or more designers by saying, "Your show has been cancelled."
A second season with eleven contestants premiered on Sunday, July 29, 2007 and finished up on Sunday, September 16, 2007.
