Nate & Jeremiah Save My House

This show is painful to watch for anyone who is struggling financially. Not because people are spending their money to have their house renovated on TV, but because of the entitlement (I know, I hate that word, too). Hearing Nate and Jeremiah constantly say "you need this" and "you deserve this" is annoying. The families constantly complain that they can't entertain because they don't have an "open concept" or can't cook because their kitchen is ugly. I can tell you that if you didn't cook or entertain before, you aren't going to do it now because everything is pretty. Don't get me wrong, I am a capitalist who has no issue with how people spend their money, but the sob stories are really pathetic and annoying for anyone who has truly struggled. Because if you can afford a million dollar house in Los Angeles and come up with 100k+ to have your house renovated on TV, you are doing okay in my book.

Many of the reviews here are spot-on. Nate and Jeremiah come across as hot-headed, annoying, and stuck-up, often being rude to the homeowners. In the first few episodes, they walked in and surprised the homeowners and gassed themselves up like they were the homeowner's saviors, and then proceeded to insist the homeowners would have no input in the renovation despite the fact that they were intending on paying for all of it. Just watched an episode where Jeremiah is on the phone and says "this furniture couldn't be going to a better couple" and Nate, standing next to him, makes a face as though he clearly disagrees... extremely disrespectful. At least the renovations (which they obviously take no part in aside from design choices) turn out decently. Was excited to see a queer couple renovate homes, as I am queer myself, but these two just come across as snotty, painfully privileged, and tone-deaf.

Definitely all about Nate and Jeremiah. I was hoping to watch a show about the homeowners house being re-designed. The majority of the show is about Nate and Jeremiah's relationship. Lots of hugging calling each other babe. Oh right right we're supposed to decorate this person's house the one thing the homeowner told us what she likes dark floors. Oops the wrong color floors came in while we weren't around working on this house. They are light colored floors but it's what Nate Wood would choose for his house. Oh well too late to change it now we don't want to bust their budget. I don't think it was the homeowners fault that somebody wasn't on the job making sure the floor colors were correct. Oh well the homeowner won't find out until they watch the show and we will be long gone by then.

So I've seen several shows already, and like any other home make over shows, it makes for good background tv. What annoys me is the bit narcissistic of the couple. They are being PAID by the homeowners for their service, but yet every show they do this surprise intro as if they are Jesus and Mary. And I just saw an episode last night when they are being paid to renovate a homeless shelter/covenant house. They drove up in their fancy Mercedes G class SUV with an MSRP of $130,000. I get it's their money but that a bit tone deaf.

Also, like other home shows, their always mistakes during the process. But unlike say, an unanticipated bad piping, their are more like wrong measurements. WTF!? And they get a show? They show a clip of them flipping a table with drawers pointing down, almost causing damages. Are they that amateur? And lastly, it always annoying when they are on camera doing work, Jeremiah is always dressed as if he on a fashion runway with a hat. At least chip and Joanna dressed as if they are actually working.

So 1 star for good background tv, and 4 stars because I wouldn't kick them out of bed.

If you enjoy YAK, YAK, YAK, YAK, YAK, YAK, YAK... You'll love this show. And if you love this show, you must also enjoy watching the grass grow and manufactured Hallmark channel movies.

Come on, we all know that most of these shows are choreographed and scripted and the stars of the show have very little to do with what actually happens in the subject house. This show focuses so much on Nate and Jeremiah doing nothing but yaking away in their expensive digs that it's almost painful to watch. The homeowners are treated as afterthoughts and seem to be excluded from any involvement in the project; heaven forbid they might not like what the exalted design gods Nate and Jeremiah think is best.

The criticisms among these reviews are spot on, the thread being a narcissistic, navel-gazing, tone-deaf duo who impart almost no useful information.

And do we really need the crying a half dozen times a show?

People like Mike Holmes and all the guys on This Old House became stars because they're experts and they don't make themselves the most important part of the show. This pair is just a couple of rich guys who think they're important and think we care just how wonderful they and their family are. I couldn't care less.
