Y'know, until yesterday I only heard Amy referred to as Amy Wynn....now I hear Amy Wynn Pastor.....does that mean she got *gulp* married?

Can't stand the show. My GF watches it all the time. I think of it as a train-wreck. It's always a disaster, but people have to watch it. If somebody asked me to be on the show I'd punch them in the nose. No one touches my house without my approval at every step.

Was hooked on it for a while and now usually just TiVo it, skip to the "reveal" to look for inspiration.

My girlfriend just met Hilde (sp?) (one of the designers) on a flight from Seattle. Would have loved for them to come and redecorate our bedroom. It's plain as plain can be.

<< I love that show! I like Laurie (the redhead), Frank, Vern and Doug (Ty, the other carpenter is pretty cute too). If Genevieve, Hilde or Dez are the designers, you know they're going to do something very weird.

Did you see the one last night (the designers were Frank and Laurie - Frank was doing a living room and Laurie was doing a bedroom) where the husband was totally yelling at his wife because he broke the staple gun and she kept asking if she could try to fix it, so finally he threw it at her and was all pissy with her? That was funny. :D
>>



I missed that one though I did see a show where Dez?(short blond hair, glasses) got into a fight with Amy Wynn. There was another where the mother and daughter team were constantly arguing with their designer and didn't want to do any work. It's funny when everyone starts making snarky comments under their breath about each other. Wonder what they think when they see themselves on tv...

I can't believe I'm admitting this in public but yeah, I watch it too.

My favorite part is watching the folks who hate their new look try to be polite. "Oh, look, new outlet covers! Now that I really like!"

I wonder how quickly some of those folks repaint/redecorate. Did you see the one with giant diamond shapes on the walls? Astonishing.
