God doesn't make junk, people do
The taste level on almost all the upcycles really is unacceptably low, which has always been the problem with upcycling. Who wants a grocery bag made out of old plastic grocery bags? Or a handknitted sweater out of pilly cheap yarn? Sow's ear still a sow's ear no matter how much labor someone has expended on it.
Unfortunately, the execution on many of these terrible ideas isn't very good either. There's one maker I'm a true diehard fan of, and what they make on this show is really bad. Really bad.
BTW, it is like The Repair Shop in that the intended theme is -- variously -- God doesn't make junk, and resurrection.
Unfortunately neither rubric applies to the creations in this program. Yikes.
