hmb-51778 I cannot speculate on the overall quality of the product. I CAN say I was screaming at the TV in less than 5 minutes. The contestants were told to go in and assess the current value of the 1st house. Instead BOTH teams spent their time looking at the house as for what they wanted to do to it. This is infuriating. It shows they don't listen. Between that and the smattering of stupid comments from the contestants and I was done.Sorry. Done.
jenwithapen Start with identical twins. Start with identical twins who spend more time on HGTV than they do on their hair (and if you've seen them in any of their many incarnations, you know how much they love the hair!). So you start with identical twins -- a contractor and an agent -- and ten incredibly talented designers. The contest is fun! Drew v. Jonathan (the twins, of course!), team v. team, two homes that are similar styles and similar price points. What's the hitch in the giddy up? Well, the twins.Instead of allowing any designer to show _their_ personal style, both Drew and Jonathan, led by current trends on the same channel as half a dozen of their TV shows (HGTV), they both consistently thwart contestant's plans. God forbid someone should bring in a blue or a red. If it's not gray, or some shade of gray, it's not happening! It's not _modern_ enough. It's "traditional" (which is basically the same thing as crap). For some reason, these designers haven't figured out that gray (which is the ABSENCE of color!) is the new harvest gold, and no one's gonna thank you for an ombred backsplash that's 22 shades of grey. Not after the first few months. The whole show is so formulaic you could set your watch to it. Find house, argue about design, pick a dozen grays, try to add color and hear all about how it's "too bold," or "old fashioned," or that it's a color that looks better on a dinner plate. =PNot only that, but the winning teams are so arbitrary. There's nothing in a design that wins, or someone who truly is worthy goes home, while someone who is so incompetent goes on to win (see S2). It's just a really disappointing combination of frustrating your audience. Two stars on IMDB is the result. =P
