Pics of HGTV Design Star's gay competitors

As we told you earlier, HGTV Design Star's second season premieres this weekend and there are two gay contestants to root for.

First is Scott Corridan, an Event Planner/Interior Designer from Santa Barbara. I'm liking Scott for saying, "Never place objects on unnecessary angles," since I always get annoyed at the wasted space.

Next is Josh "Sparkle" Johnson, an Interior Designer from Hendersonville, Tennessee. Josh says his design style is, "Livable elegance and functional opulence." Would you believe us if we said that if he weren't a designer, he'd be a Solid Gold dancer, instead?

I'm not sure if I understand the design sensibility in asking contestants to stand in front of a white background and hold up a white cutout star.
