Home Again with the Fords

Don't have the words to express what I just watched. First time viewing the show. I'm a regular viewer of HGTV and this by is the worst show I have seen. I don't if awkward can explain the dynamic relationship among the cast?? Felt like the sister was a little off her rocker and all over the place most of the time. Her design ideas if that's what you want to call them were bizarre. I would have fired her day one. Felt sorry for the brother, felt like he was just there dealing with her every whim and manic episode. It felt like it was more about what she wanted and really didn't care about what the client or what the home needed. Nothing is more dangerous than a designer who is self-absorbed. Please don't make any more shows like this. I was so irritated that I had to write a review. Again I really don't know what to say except WTF HGTV???

Designs are interesting and new. Love the brother/sister relationship.

Amazing!!! Leann Ford seems authentic and I love her designs!!

This the the worst of HGTV's programs. This is the show for white economic elitists; the Fords' and their clients reek of the same privilege, assumptions and lack of concern for money, and terrible 'taste'.

Each episode of this new iteration has made me more disgusted, as the weird creepiness of the Fords' dynamic is paraded in the 'banter' and camera-facing narratives. Also, Lee Ann is unable to see and hear beyond her own narrow ideas & palate (if white and black can called 'palate'). The Fords' have no appreciation for the character of homes they come to. Lee Ann first destroys whatever is in place - obliterates it, then she paints everything white with high gloss black accents. In the latest "Paris in Pittsburgh" episode, the Fords tear out beautiful brick walls and VERY high-quality and beautiful floors, and she paints large swaths of interior brick walls & fireplace white - which cannot be reversed. The result of this episode is a less functional house for a family with two small children, and reduces the value of the home. Of course the WASPy young entilted couple gushes in bemusement & befuddlement. They have little individual identity or taste, so they just reflect the irreality (not surreality) of Lee Ann's 'design' with generic platitudes from any typical issue of Architectural Digest.

HGTV needs to terminate this experiment, this creepy contrivance. Lee Ann Ford is the worst on the network, which is tough to do when they're also broadcasting Tamara Day and 'Bargain Mansions'.

Leanne has terrible taste, Steve tries to stop her. I wouldn't hire her on take any designing or decorating suggestions from her. I won't be continuing to watch this show. It's just another TV show.
