Designing men and women

The brains behind "HGTV Design Star" deserve some points for letting common sense prevail and refusing to let way-out Ramona Jan become the Master P of their talent-search series. With the quirky Ramona eliminated in the first round, the remaining nine will get down to business in this Sunday's episode (9 p.m. Eastern and Pacific) by reworking a Long Island home that's been on the market for too long. Meanwhile Ramona, who cheerfully and shamelessly will transform anything not nailed down into "art," should explore opportunities in late-night cable access.
