My friend Eryk suggested that I do a recap of each week's Design Star. Mind you, Design Star isn't one of the fun trashy reality shows that I would normally recommend, but our friend Matt's on it, so we're watching. Here's what happened this week:

Open is very shiny. Matt wears a funny hat. Home challenge is a ruse. Group goes on boat to McMansion they'll live in. Group yells 'wooooo'. Host talks. Groups woos some more. Group gets challenge.
