I received this information today and thought I'd pass it along. There are certainly some worthy candidates out there!
Are you a fan of HGTV's Design Star? Do you think you have what it takes to host your own series on HGTV? Would you love the challenge of competing in a design-based reality show? Here's your chance to be on the fifth season of Design Star!
HGTV has enlised the help of Mark Burnett and his production crew to produce the fifth season of HGTV Design Star. Casting and production for the next season is expected to move quickly.

David,
What a fun post, We watch the show towards the end. We have a game going to see if we are going to pick the winner, so far we are batting 100%
I bet we see someone from AR on the show!
David ~ You should try out for the show! You are one of the top (if not the top) designers here of AR and I always find your work incredible. Think about it, it really would be great to have someone from our online group on this television show.

David -- Get Nik to try out -- he'd do a great job :-)
Ron & Alexandra ~ I particularly like the white box challenge where everyone has the exact same space to work with - it's where the creatvity really shows!
Kim ~ That would be fun, huh?
Kate ~ Thanks for the kind words. My partner Nik is our designer and I'll be sure to share your comments with him.
Maureen ~ I'd love to see him on the show, but he doesn't want to do a reality show. It would probably be like your experience multiplied by 100 since you have to live and breath the show until its over.
Valerie ~ TV is certainly another thing - but if you have the right skin for it, this is a great opportunity!
Trying out would be fun. You would have to be a very strong person to hold up to that kind of stress.
Think that I'll pass on it
The funny thing is I DID send in all the info last year for DS4, even spoke to a couple people over the phone but alas, never made it to the finals. Unfortunately after seeing that DS4 turned into a pure ratings ploy instead of trying to find any true design talent I was a bit miffed. That being said, maybe DS5 will be different, I certainly hope that HGTV learned their lesson.
But have Nik try out, who knows! ;-D
Virginia ~ It does take a certain person that can live with cameras in their face 24-7.
Connie ~ Thanks for sharing your experience! It will be interesting to see how the fifth season turns out!
