And I just loved your designs. I think you have a clean look with a minimalist view when it comes to accessories. No clutter. Your 'feature' wall was not repetitive to me, just a great idea that is worth repeating. Dans were great too. I voted for him and you with each of your rooms being revealed on the show. I wish the best for you! I watched the DS show. And I just loved your designs. I think you have a clean look with a minimalist view when it comes to accessories. No clutter.

I also hope that you & Dan will be able to collaborate on future projects. You both have brilliant futures ahead. I'm just sorry that we, the HGTV viewers, were robbed of learning GREAT DESIGN tips from both of you. :( Just one of HGTV's blogs got over 3,000 comments in the past 24 hours 99% of it angry at their choice of Antonio as "Design Star" (they've since removed the blog, claiming "problems" with it). Clearly, most of America is not as stupid as they thought. I hope eventually you & Dan will be able to tell us everything that went on behind the scenes. We all know there's a lot more to the story.

I think you were eliminated simply because the last two winners were female. I think we all missed out on learning about accessible design that would make our spaces more beautiful. I don't want any plywood boats on my ceiling. The time constraints on the challenges are ridiculous. Why not give you the time to make a room the way you would like it? I'm sure you'll continue to be a great success in your business as in life. Enjoyed seeing those model shots from your early career. You were a babe then and are still one! good luck in the future!!! hi Lonni- you would have made a wonderful host. I think you were eliminated simply because the last two winners were female.

You are a talented designer and, from what we were allowed to see on the show, a decent, caring and honest person. I was truly discouraged that you were eliminated, because the quality of HGTV programming is definitely decreasing, and I'm sure your show would have been a pleasure to watch. Now that I have seen the finale and the selection of Antonio as the winner, I am more sure than ever that they picked the wrong person. I can't help thinking this was fixed from the beginning. You were robbed! I know you have had and will continue to have a successful life. We viewers are the losers here. Good luck in the future. Oh, yes. Your room for Tiffany and Brady ROCKED!

Your room for Tiffany and Brady would make anyone proud to have it for their own. You have shown class and real talent. I hope HGTV has the good sense to hire you for your own show. If not at least you should be proud of the way you conducted yourself. Good luck with your other designs - and i hope you will print what really happens if the time ever comes that you would be allowed to comment. Your going green is a thing all the designers need to try to accomplish. I am sure your nation wide viewers will be waiting to see more of you in the future. Good luck Lonni - you are a class act and i have enjoyed watching you. Lonni, besides being a beautiful woman, by far the best at the interview part of the shows.

Congratulations on an amazing job on the hgtv show. You should be proud of yourself. You showed integrity and professionalism and a clear design style throughout the show. Your on camera performance was impeccable. Without a doubt you ranked number one for most of us watching I am sure. You remind me in many ways of Candace Olsen, in that every room I have ever seen her do has been incredible and classic. I love what David Bromstadt said... you have a great gift in focal walls and should be applauded for it! I loved your room the most. Dan's room was nice for sure,...and he seems to be a nice guy, but your room was heads above the rest the entire show... and as you said, you were competing against men who do heavy construction work, and yet you held your own. I hope we will get to see more of your work in the future. In the meantime I have bookmarked your websites. AND I also signed up for following you under twitter( @projecthope7) and hope you will follow back so we can DM each other occassionally. I live in FL so if you are ever here, please let me know so we can lunch! Sadly I just found out about your contest..You are a woman after my own heart... mint tea and dark chocolate and organic candles! I would have LOVED to enter your contest! I am sure your weekly winners were very blessed! Again, thank you for remaining dignified no matter what Hollywood or other team members threw at you... you were a joy to watch and encouraged. Definitely an inspiration! Take care and God bless you and your family . graciously, Cathy B Lonni~ Hi. Congratulations on an amazing job on the hgtv show. You should be proud of yourself.

If people will check out the BIO of Antonio you will find that he is the set designer for Candice Olson's Divine Design - I would say he needs to be eliminated and step down as Candice is one of the judges!!!!!
