I can see your point. However, I don't have children but I teach them, lived with them (family), and, sometimes, even act like one!

Given the time constraint and limited shopping locations both did the best they could though Jennifer hit a home run with the red cabinets. I hope that next year they see this as something to correct.

I am voting for Jennifer. Her personal sense of style tells me she is someone who will be interesting to watch. The challenges were not that compelling and limited their ability because the spaces were way too big with not enough time or money to really fill them out in most cases.

Still I love this show and hope to see it evolve. I loved the final challenge in Bromberg's season. The glass rooms in Central Park were exciting and of a scale where grand decorating was accomplished. I also loved the pet store challenge. We complained about too many challenges in those 3 sided rooms but this year we didn't get enough of them!

HGTV, now listen. Give them more time. Go ahead, you can do it. Certainly you have enough money to spring for assistants too. Let's really see what they can do when not limited to 2 furniture stores and no help. Oh, and no kitchens. The viewers do not like them. They are in a different catagory and really require skill in a different arena than decorating. Enough stainless steel appliances and granite counters. They bore me to tears. Ok, done.

I liked Matt best and voting for him.

I was disappointed in the lackluster stores where they shopped. Nashville and NO are hardly cutting edge, they did not seem to shop at "trade" showrooms, like they did on Bravo's design show. They shopped at ready to use, take home warehouse stores...the whole season was hurt by this IMHO.

Hope the families are aware of the radon in the granite countertops!

I'm having trouble voting at the HGTV website.

Is anyone else having problems?

No.

What kind of problems are you running into?

I clicked on the arrow as the instructions said, but nothing happened after that. I was supposed to go to another page for voting. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I just voted, and I had no problem. It said "Vote Now", I hit that, it showed both pics with a button under each, and I just hit the one I wanted.

Seriously? I've never heard that before. Say more. Is this a new discovery, or have I just not been paying attention?

It's a poorly designed and confusing page. Clicking the arrow plays a video about the designer.

To vote, click in the white circle next to the Select Matt or Select Jennifer label and then click on Vote.
