I must say this is a very pleasant surprise and I understand why this show has such a high rating. I am a huge lover of reality shows in general and watch as many as possible. Even though I love me some Housewives, this is such a relief to watch a show that is not based on high drama and endless conflicts.
I wasn't too familiar with Tyler Cameron because I didn't really watch his season of The Bachelorette even though I had heard of him. So I wasn't quite sure what I would get but I like shows about renovations in general so I gave it a try. From the first episode I was hooked.
What I love about it the most is the fact that what unfolds is never based on excessive drinking, screaming matches, convoluted misunderstandings or violent confrontations. We get to experience Tyler and his posse trying to get his renovation business off the ground with issues that you would normally expect from any venture in construction and renovation.
The guy is good looking, charming and I felt myself rooting for his success. His friends and family are all delightfully real without any extreme behavior you could expect from the average reality show. I think this one has a chance to last for a long while and it's up to Tyler to keep it going.
The show is well balanced as we get to see the process to the big reveal which is of course the payoff and I found it very satisfying. The only people who might not like this would be those who like their reality more on the dramatic side but to me, this type of show is a lot more up my alley.
Very well done and please, give us more of this type of drama-free, casual reality show where we can sit back and enjoy the view without feeling embarrassed or uncomfortable. I watched season 1 in 2 days so I can safely state that I enjoyed myself tremendously. Give it a try, I'm sure you won't regret it.
