HGTV Design Star (2006-2013)

EndedReality show

HGTV Design Star was an American reality competition show. The contestants compete for their own design show on HGTV. Each week, the judges decide whom to eliminate; and, in Seasons 1-4, Clive Pearse would tell the contestant(s) who had been eliminated, "Your show has been canceled...please exit the studio." Each week, the remaining contestants participate in an interior design challenge such as designing a living space with a specific purpose (bedroom, living room, garage) or creating a space in an empty room, using unconventional items from a pet store, mechanics store, or a discount store. The designers are given a specified amount of time and cash to create their designs, sometimes working alone and sometimes in teams.
