Por que Diacho Comprei Essa Casa?

The show is way too long , and at the end the designs are uninspiring and insipid. Also, the woman who the lead designer should take a lesson from the female designers of other shows ( Windy City Rehab, anyone?) and make and effort to understand "numbers' it is not that hard . Will save you trouble in the long run.

This show isn't awful. Just pretty much the same as all of the other reno shows out there. What bothered me in the episode I saw was that they relegated the pet Guinea pig to the bottom cabinet in a laundry room. They're social animals. Seems cruel to keep them in a room away from the rest of the family.

Kim's voice is very irritating and reminds me time and again why I don't like watching the program. Not the kind of voice one wants to listen to for the duration of the program. I often woner if the producers don't know that that is important to viewers. Kim's personality is very nice, but the way she speaks in her throat, that is very irritating. As for the design of the homes they renovate.... it is nice, but doesn't wow me. Some of the choices they make, are a big NO to me. The interaction between the husband and wife is very sweet and adorable. I understand that people cannot choose their voice, but maybe she can take speech classes to not speak almost like she's gurgling? Fact is, her voice is very off putting for me.

Liked the show and then all of a sudden I found myself getting irritable. I stopped doing what I was doing and focused solely on the TV. It was the homeowners responses to their renovation. Way way way over the top! All of them! Definitely being coached. Some even laughing wildly. Laughing? Why would you laugh? Smiling is good but laughing made no sense to me. The husband didn't bother me one way or the other. He's obviously just there to bounce things off. It's just those over directed over the top reactions I can't stomach. The renovations are all pleasing, I didn't see one I didn't like. And the host is good. One more negative is the wallpaper offerings. But obviously that's a very personal like/dislike.

Even by the standards of shows that air on HGTV and/or TLC, this latest variation of house p-rn sets the standard for having a blow-dried host acting as a project manager, making complex project come to life for unrealistic budgets, and ending up with irredeemably hideous final results.

I am diving in for the first time with the episode where the host who looks like a model is managing the renovation of a chef and his wife who bought some scabby little bungalow on some scabby little street.

The project proceeds, costs run up, hurdles both real and contrived are overcome.

Then comes the reveal: the front landing has wh-rehouse wallpaper; the bathroom has a garish combo of copper pedestal sinks and gold-framed mirrors, and on it goes.

In 20+ years of watching these shows on these networks - including all of Tex and Edna Gaines tributes to bad taste, and that pair of tw!ts in Vegas (is that still on?) - this is the ugliest, crassest, most god-awful ugly house I have even seen (whether "before" or "after").

If I ever bother to watch it again, it will probably be for camp value.
