I've always enjoyed watching Christina and feel bad for her and all her relationship problems. Her new beau may be her happily ever after, but he is not a personality for TV. There interactions are odd at best. As a real estate agent that views beautiful homes day in and day out, her designs are not for this area (dated to put it bluntly) and not suited for Tennessee living. Show seems to be more about her privileged lifestyle then design. Appears very scripted, it's just wrong on all levels. I hope they find a lane, focus on her talent, remove her current beau and do it fast before it loses all viewers.

Too much of everything. Too much Christina, too cutesy, too much money when people are struggling to pay rent. Way over the top. Everyone SMILES about everything, even when they seem to be overruled on ideas and budget. Huge budgets. From what I've seen after two episodes, although Christina enthuses about being in Tennessee, it's all California Coastal inside. Very expensive redesigning. Talking country and wearing boots has nothing to do with designs, but she repeats "country chic" over and over, perhaps assuming the viewers will believe it. White is the primary color. White walls, blindingly white smiles, white boots. Boring.
I've been watching her for years and have always enjoyed her different evolutionary shows, but somehow this one is disappointing. I think there is way too much personal activity and not enough house renovation. I'm not as interested in her personal life with her new husband - really want to see more house designing. Also, I haven't been that impressed with the houses that she's done so far (three episodes). Everything is starting to look so similar. I hope that she continues to do her coastal show because that program seems more interesting. I will keep watching, hoping that the "country" show picks up.
Christina's new hubby shows up a lot in this new show - do we need to see these frequent five minute segways ? Quite simply there's not enough design or talk with the contractors on their challenges for these $100k renovations . For $100k I'd expect to see a lot of chatter on that ! Grey and white Is always the theme of the day here less the homeowners want something else. Christina on the Coast on the other hand has a much better flow to it - the recipe here seems better - this country show appears to be transforming into 'Designing for the Sexes' I'd have to say this show needs more work doing to it .

I am enjoying Christina in the Country. She does a beautiful job picking classic and timeless materials for her designs. I think Josh is a wonderful addition and it's nice to see a confident unpretentious man who is not afraid to roll up his sleeves and work. It's always great to see the kids and the fun life they have when In Tennessee. They all seem to enjoy the country life and animals. Christina seems to so happy and I hope there will be a season 2! I can't wait to see what they will do with the property they purchased in the second episode. Also, looking forward to more episodes of Christina on the Coast.

I think Christina is a talented designer, and love seeing her facial reactions to situations that arise. Very happy for her new family. Her new husband seems very nice but doesn't add much to the show. I do wish the California glitz could be toned down some. Her clients seem like Hollywood wanna bes. Would be nice to see clients who are regular people and don't aspire to becoming tv stars. Also, would like to see her try to save her clients some money in her designs. I like that Christina dresses appropriately and not like a Barbie doll. Jeans, boots and a cute baggy top are all she needs. Love her little Frenchi! It's fun to see her kids growing up and her daughter showing design interest.

I have been around since the early Flip Or Flop days. And, I'm sorry, but Christina is not it. All her designs look the same! And the amount of money she spends is insane. Normal people don't have budgets like that. Christina obviously thinks high end is what people want to see. But, it's not. It's the designs we want to see. Designs that say something about the homeowners or the homes themselves, not Christina. I would guess inside her home looks just like these homes she "designs."
Also, how many new men is she going to go through? This is the 3rd just since she and Tarik split up...I guess Tarik got me in the divorce, because I think he's a better person with more talent. Stop giving Christina so many opportunities, when Tarik is much more likeable and interesting.

I actually like this show because I've always liked her. I can't stand Tarek new show and absolutely abhor his new wife! I think he always kept Christina in check and I just keep thinking about how he berated her by saying his new wife was prettier, he was a winner etc. BTW the new wife acts like a small child. So good for Christina for getting away from him and making her own way in life. I wish her the best! But this review isn't about him. She's a good designer. I think slot of people prefer the gray/white color scheme so that's what she does though I e seen her do a dark green kitchen. I'm also anxious to see what they do with the fixer they bought.

My grand kids as well as the rest of our family all appreciate how Christina and her new husband creatively take time to interact with their children in meaningful, fun ways enjoying the outdoors, their farm animals and wonderful family values. Really enjoyed their berry-picking outing with extended family. This is a bonus to the show already providing Christina's spectacular home renovation ideas, creative redesigns plus how the renovations are accomplished. It is also interesting that the show is documenting the many homeowners migrating to new locations to live and where they have come from.
We love the show!

This is Christina at her best, I actually like her new man, Josh, he seems very humble & he seems ok being in the background, unlike tarek who needs to flex his muscles & wear shirts 2 sizes too small to try to impress people. Christina's decorating is superb, love watching her projects come together! Christina seems so much more at ease than she has been in the past... it's obvious her best design projects are yet to come.. I do wish she wore less makeup plus wore outfits more indicative if a contractor... but that being said the cool ideas/projects that she has really transforms her jobs into masterpieces..keep up the good work.
