This is Not a Chair
This is Not a Chair by Roxanne McDonald

Top Design remaining five get challenged and tested on fine dining décor by way of guest judge Tom Colicchio. |
They don’t know it until he appears in the white room, but internationally known chef and restaurateur Tom Colicchio (who as Carisa later tells us is a brutal critic, if we haven’t seen “Top Chef”) wants an elegant, up-scale, but eclectic style (20th-century modern and artifact mix) dining area.
Carisa’s confident. Andrea’s terrified. Goile gets pissed cause he’s wasting a lot of time on a floor. Matt is ever-steady. And Michel is ever overconfident, overbearing, and over the top in his selections.
Of course, Carisa’s aesthetic leaves much to be desired, as it is sacrificed by excuse this and blame that: the only “matching set” of chairs left in the store is a patio set of rickety old chairs that Carisa covers with what Matt or
Michael calls “grandfather cloth”. But she is sure that that 10,000-dollar table will cover her chances. After all, that is all she seems to put her faith in, obsess about protecting, and blame Carpenter Carl for almost ruining when he drops a beam he is attempting to finagle all by himself up there on the ladder.
Michael will have similar chair issues when he claims to intentionally mismatch his…but by the time he gets to trial, and Colicchio saying that six mismatched chairs is too much and he wishes Michael had stopped at two, Michael has already mismatched other details and ditties, making for a terribly busy mess of a dining room.
Add to that how he snips at Margaret about not wanting a napkin storage in his dining room and how he refuses to answer a question regarding which of the other rooms he would not want to eat in, and yep, you guessed it, “See ya later, decorater [sic].
Oh, hey, wasn’t it Michael who in the very first episode said he didn’t need to work at or fight for title of Top Designer, as he was just that perfect?
