Meet the Design Star All Stars Cast | HGTV Design Star


Looks like Hilari Younger was bounced out of the current season and right into the next season.

Other contestants include:

Dan Vickery (4)
Josh "Sparkle" Johnson (2)
Tom Vecchione (5)
Leslie Ezelle (6)
Kellie Clements (6)


Dan Vickery has been my favorite so far, so I'm glad to see him in the mix. Sparkle Josh was fun to watch even though his designs were NOT my style.

All Stars will only be 4 episodes long.

Dan and Josh were good ones. I think I remember liking Tom, but I am not sure.

Bring back Alice from Season 1. She would have won any season except against David!

[Lucy van Pelt]

Bring back Alice from Season 1. She would have won any season except against David!

I agree totally. But perhaps she doesn't want to, or doesn't have the time now? Hopefully she's so successfully busy, she couldn't do it.

Josh is the only one I remember. I'd like to see Karl (the architect) from last season and Matt Locke from Jennifer's (the wall painter) season.

I am putting my money on Dan. I believe he was not even chosen as one of the finalists in Season 3 but he was chosen for Season 4 and became the runner-up to Antonio Ballatore. I think he is more talented than Antonio but the judges picked Antonio because he is more different and has a fresher, quirkier style in his presentation that HGTV never had. But why only 6 designers? Anyway, they should have brought back all runners-up for each season. There are no season 1 and 3 designers and there are 2 Season 6 designers and not one of them is Karl. What's up with that?

[Bearcata]

Anyone watching? I'll try to catch it later or On Demand.

Well, Dan won for his dining room and Wendy went home because she treated it like a hyped up white room challenge and not using all the tools provided, Pacific Design Center, and showing a room that showed her design POV. The best part of the night was when the designers were all waiting in the designers lounge for the judges decision and Hilari started telling a story about how hard it was during her season when Wendy shot her down. Ouch. The look Hilari gave Wendy was priceless. Yes, there is a diva bitch beneath that bubly personality. I think Hilari is the only designer who did not hug Wengy goodybye. She just stood in the background with her arms crossed giving Wendy the Evil Death Stare.

Was that Kellie or Wendy? The short one.
