Quick: What are your plans for Sunday night? (We're talking 10p/9c). If you're undecided, ShelterPop editors Allison and Amy cordially invite you to join our Twitter party! We'll be watching the new episode of Design Star on HGTV and piping up about everything from our favorite rooms to the contestants' cringe-worthy decisions...plus all the moments that make us go OMG, LOL or oh no they didn't! (That's ONTD for those new to Twitter's 140-character limit!)
Here's the scoop: Tune in to Design Star this Sunday, July 11 at 10p/9c on HGTV and keep your laptop or phone nearby for easy Twitter access. Follow us at Twitter.com/ShelterPop or see our opinions retweeted at Twitter.com/HGTV. We'll be gabbing with the hilarious Heather Armstrong of dooce.com so you know we'll bring our A-game... And we hope you do too! If you'd like to join in, use the hashtag #designstar and raise your voice (you know your comments are too good to only be shared with roommates and pets.)
If you're a newbie to the show, you still have time to catch up before Sunday -- you can watch past episodes, get expert tips, rate designs and learn more about the contestants at Design Star's site.
To help you get as pumped as we are, we're giving away the HGTV swag you see in the photo above -- umbrellas, tees, iPhone cases, beach towels, mugs and travel mugs. To win a prize pack with one of each of the goodies, leave us a comment about who you're rooting for (or if you haven't started watching -- what other HGTV shows you love.)
Hope to see -- err, tweet -- you there!

TEAM @DANFAIRES Just look at his twitter following. You've got his mom, his brother, his friend, his marketer, his 10 year old design expert! TEAM DAN!
ReplyMy favorite show is Divine Design. I like the Design Star series. I haven't learned their names yet to really have a favorite.
ReplyI love ALL HGTV shows! However, I'm especially partial to Holmes on Homes (love Mike), Color Splash (adore David) & Design Star (fabulous! fav this season has to be Dan - so cute & great design sense).
ReplyI'm rooting for Tom & Emily based on personality, because none of the bunch have stepped up with great design yet.
ReplyMy TV stays on HGTV 99% of the time ~ My fav is Devine Design because I LOVE Candice Olsen's style ~ since day #1 of watching her show I have yet to be disappointed. She is amazing!!! My next favorite, of course, is Design Star because I like watching their individual improvement over time. I also adore Dear Genevieve ... fabulous!!!
ReplyI don't like this side of Vern Yip,He's mean we don't need another Simon Cowell.constructive critizism is always welcomed, meaness is unnecessary.What happened to you Vern?You were so likable.ratings war will do that to a person i guess.
Replymy favorite show is property virgins!
ReplyI like a lot of shows. I have been keeping up on Design Star on the website. I'm holding out on who's my favorite, but there are a couple of them I hope do NOT win. " b
ReplyAnd we've always been a fan of Vern Yip. I bet it's hard to be a judge, while yet encouraging them to do better. I'm glad he's taking his job seriously. " )
Allison DiLaurentis!
ReplyI like Dan Faires this season.
ReplyTom is growing on me. I would love to see him in a sophisticated, urban show. Something very NYC, out on the streets. Either that or he could start teaching Lamaze breathing techniques...but that would be another network :)
ReplyI'm rooting for Emily !!! But that could all change in due time :-)

I love House Hunters! Especially House Hunters International. I love to watch when they go to a tropical location as we are redesigning our backyard and adding a pool. We really want to have that tropical getaway feel.
