Stephanie From The O.C. Makes It To Become The 9th Contestant On HGTV Design Star

She won the online vote
to become the 9th contestant
on the third season of
HGTV Design Star

It's cheesy and riveting. It had the tears of a queen, and lots of squeals and groans. The first challenge of the group having to build there own shelter can't be for real. There they were with their luggage in the rain with the WTF look on their faces. I'll be watching on Sunday, and afterwards the premiere of Rate My Space.
Here's a letter from HGTV that I got, and pass onto to you:

Hello Valorie,

I hope your Monday is going well. I’m curious if you had a chance to see the season three premiere of Design Star on HGTV last evening. I am eager to hear your thoughts on the final contestant revealed as well as the design samples the finalists presented.

I also wanted to send a quick reminder about the sweepstakes that started this past Friday, June 6th where viewers can enter for a chance to win a $5,000 shopping spree to Sears or a $5,000 gift card from Lumber Liquidators.

And be sure to check out your Design Star IQ to learn some fun facts about the show and contestants such as whose childhood dream it was to marry David Bowie….

I hope you’ll tune in Sunday at 9pm to see which designer wins the first challenge and to find out who gets eliminated. As always, do feel free to contact me at any time with questions or comments.

Thanks,
Margot Inzetta
