100 Day Dream Home

They (she) interacts more like brother and sister rather than husband and wife????

There is very little on screen PDA. For example Ben and Erin(Hometown); Nathan and Jerimiah; Chip and Joanna Gaines; Egypt and Mike, even Christina and Tarek, who are now divorced, even show more affection and care for one another than Mika does toward Brian.

I saw an episode where Brian affectionately leaned in to kiss Mika on the cheek, and she moved away.

On another episode he tried to carry her over the threshold, and she commented "were way past that." And there are so many other examples.

Perhaps i'm making more of this than is necessary, but IMO, when you see the other couples' interaction, Mika's seemingly cold and stand-offish attitude toward Brian really stands out.

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.

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.

Love these two! Their desire to deliver a dream home on the promise of 100 days Is a great concept!

I like the show overall, but I'd like it a lot better if Brian would quit trying to sound like someone he isn't, i.e., a different race. He sounds a bit like a fool when he does that. The home decor is much the same, but they do try to give the clients what they want and the homes are lovely just the same. Nice couple, great attitudes, hard workers and they're fun to watch.
