Por que Diacho Comprei Essa Casa?

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.

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.

I gave this show a chance I couldn't get past the first episode. So many things wrong. Overall there was nothing exciting or new about the design. White on white, how original. Wasted innovative opportunities given the gigantic budget. Yawn, next.

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.

This is a fairly standard, enjoyable HGTV home renovation show - except for season 1, episode 5, when the homeowners' guinea pig is moved into a bottom cabinet of the laundry room, with much less natural light and seemingly less ventilation than the previous enclosure. Overall, I appreciated the designer's ability to creatively reimagine floor plans, but the family didn't mention the guinea pig's location or enclosure as a problem (at least not in the footage that aired). The family seemed to love their guinea pig, so I'm hoping they were just being polite when they marveled at the cabinet and didn't end up using it. I hope Poncho gets lots of love and attention.
