On The Rocks - Top Design Episode 6

The six remaining designers met up with Todd outside in the PDC Plaza. Todd did some quick math and realized the number six is not a prime number. So he divided the designers into two teams of three. Andrea, Goil and Erik on one team. Matt, Carisa and Michael on the other team.

The assignment: design a party for Bacardi Limon.


Goil was so happy he and Andrea were on the same team. He compared Andrea to a top-of-the-line R2 unit. To me, she's more like a highly-advanced Nexxus-6 replicant from Blade Runner. She's extemely intelligent and devastatingly beautiful. And with those long legs, I bet you she's kicked some major ass in her lifetime.


Carisa and Michael bickered from the get go. Good thing Matt is a father of a four year old. He's used to dealing with big crybabies throwing hissy fits and temper tantrums.

Team Andrea/Goil/Erik didn't quarrel as much, but they experienced one miscommunication after another.

Andrea and Erik wanted to play the lead roles. Goil wasn't happy being relegated to the supporting cast.

You know what? Goil is right yet again. I can't picture him as that ever-suffering Jan Brady. He's just too damn cute and adorable. The perfect person to take on the role of Cindy - the youngest one in curls.


Team Matt/Carisa/Michael created a black and white tent. Despite all of their in-fighting, the tent turned out pretty nice – albeit on the safe side.

Team Andrea/Goil/Erik pushed the envelope and went for a more avant-garde look. They didn't want to play it safe. And by doing so, they bruised each other's feelings.


The judges gave Team Matt/Carisa/Michael the win. Jonathan Adler wanted to pin Team Andrea/Goil/Erik's loss on one single designer. He asked them who was responsible for the overall vision of their tent. I was waiting for Carisa to jump in. You know how she likes to take credit for everything.

Well, Erik valiantly fell on his sword, telling the judges the overall vision was his. Bye-bye, Erik.

So what is up with the rivalry between Margaret and Kelly? Trying to one-up each other for extra camera time is getting a little old, don't you think?
