Tu casa en 100 días

My new favorite show on HGTV! I love all the beautiful homes that they build from ground zero and the decor is always stunning! I love the cast! They're funny, knowledgeable, and just a beautiful couple with a wonderful supportive family! When mistakes happen, Mika is the calm one; Brian always acts like the situation is chaos but they always manage to make it right and please the homeowners! My hubby and I always say, "God, we wish that they would come to Texas and build our family's Dream Home in 100 days and decorate it! We also absolutely love the Special Projects and would love to be the next homeowners to design our own Dream Home with help from Mika and Brian (they make it all come together) and include a special surprise! Most builders try to make you choose between 3 floorplans and/or stuff you in tight community.

We just went through a remodel of our own, granted we're in a time where everything is delayed . I'm just curious if any of these new episodes they are airing if when Mika orders the cabinets they come in on time , mine took five months and oddly enough my cabinets were from wellborn as well. Just about every show I've watched every kitchen ends up with white or gray shaker cabinets , that's gotten old. It would be nice to see more color and design.

Concept can be sort of cool. No long wait for a cookie cutter; pick a Lowe's cabinet; not too deep design (if any). But-and this is a BIG but: Where's the love or affection with these two? I get they (or she) may not want to display PDA, but I guarantee Brian's gotta beg to get fed! Mika is a cold fish. And her attitude!?! I really can't stand it! Did you see how she stomped off when they lost a round of a home design competition? Homegirl was visibly angry, unprofessional, spoiled, and childish. Even photos of the two of them together look distant, disconnected, and seriously uninteresting. I think Brian may have loved her (once...ago) but now, it's all transactional. Another reviewer mentioned this as well-I thought it was just me?

That makes my rating low because they are an epic fail on human factors and loving connections. If they were divorced, Brian will be just fine. Mika will move on with a book and a can or sardines.

Middling personalities, below-average talent.

IDK why all of these HGTV teams have to married, although like others here have said, they don't act like they're married.

Watching an episode where a couple buys an undistinguished lot with a cute bungalow on it...only to tear down the bungalow. Why not save a hundred thousand or two and buy an empty lot? Idiotic.

There seems to be no planned filming schedule because there's hardly anything ever going on and they waste loads of time on minor details. Now they're showing the guy buying water for the crew...really? And now they're shopping.

A builder and a realtor do NOT add up to an architect. Realtors sell houses, they don't design them and she obviously doesn't have the chops to be designing or decorating houses. The problem with most of the developers in the US is that they think they don't need qualified, trained architects and as a result design dumb, boring houses. This show is marginally better than HGTV's standard fare, but these two still produce cookie cutter, latest boring all-white fads.

I don't know what's worse, Brian's awkward "hood" attitude that he exaggerates when he has a black client, or Mika's fake excitement at clients choosing countertops. And I'm so tired of these husband and wife partners where the husband is a big kid and the wife is unamused. We've seen it with Chip and Joanna, Ben and Erin, and Dave and Jenny. It's old and frankly, it's never been entertaining.

Worse than that though, the designs are boring. I've only seen one episode where Mika didn't con the home owners into the same white kitchen cabinets she's used in every build. Her showroom has lots of beautiful cabinet samples but in every episode she has them choose between basic white frame cabinets, or slightly more ornate white cabinets. Mika actually looked worried when one homeowner expressed interest in dark cabinets! The exteriors at least vary in finishes but overall, I don't think Brian or Mika are very creative.
