Bad move by those in charge. Paige was one of the good things about the show. Hostless? That just sounds stupid.

the plot thickens....
i then sent this email in response to the one I received above.

Thanks for replying. Who at TLC can I contact? (i have never written about a
tv show, but this is just crazy!)



just got this back.......

I know how you feel but my view is that we ESSENTIALLY retired her 'number' and must move on and recreate the show without her. Paige is READY to move on and has signed a deal with Kingworld (Oprah's company). So please understand that Paige is the one moving on. We love her as our friend and Banayn truly wishes her the best! I know she feels the same.

ROFL!!!!! this is me! (I love this site and emailed them just for giggles)


Banyan says TLC decided to fire Paige, who says Trading Spaces remains "fun."
After hearing about, Paige Davis's firing as the host of Trading Spaces, Alex McLeod lovers are glad to see this perky host thief go, fans of the series are despondent and in tears, and others are thinking, "Um, Trading Spaces? That's still on?" TLC posted a message from Paige on its web site, in which she doesn't reveal too much. She writes, in part:

My last episode will premiere in March and in the meantime I'll be looking toward my next adventure and what will hopefully be a bright future — and a lot more time with Patrick and Sophie. :-) ... I will miss my friends very much, but I know they all wish me well and send me off with their love and support; and I am sure that Trading Spaces will still be a fabulous and fun show for all of you to watch. I will certainly be watching and cheering them on.
Apparently, "cheering them on" is now a synonym for "hurling monkey turds at the television between stabs at TLC exec voodoo dolls." Meanwhile, reality blurred reader Ann sent e.mail to Banyan Productions, which has produced the series since its second season, and which also hired Paige, and received a reply from someone named Jan -- possibly the company's CEO, Jan Dickler? The first message said that Banyan had nothing to do with the decision:
Ann, please understand that this decison is soely between Paige and TLC. Banyan has the same voice YOU do in their mutual decison
A second reply says that, like Ty and Gen before her, Paige might be leaving for her own show -- possibly a syndicated talk show?
I know how you feel but my view is that we ESSENTIALLY retired her 'number' and must move on and recreate the show without her. Paige is READY to move on and has signed a deal with Kingworld (Oprah's company). So please understand that Paige is the one moving on. We love her as our friend and Banayn truly wishes her the best!

I'm sorry to see Paige go - I agree that she was the best thing remaining on the show (well, okay - Faber in a kilt!).

Texannie, we might have to have a good old fashioned thrown-down about Nate! I think he and Paige would have a great chemistry though.

When Nate redid Patrick and hers apartment, they seemed like they really hit it off.

You know, when you hear about someone doing their own talk show, usually, you just know it will suck. But I actually think Paige would be awesome as a talk show host.

I miss Vern.

OK, who is Sophie, their dog? And how do you TS without a host? Just let the designers go wild? They already are wild!
I'll miss Paige, but I've already drastically cut my viewing-time (unless it's an older rerun) so it's not that big of a loss.
Good luck to ya, Paige.
P.S.-I was surprised to hear the favorable comments on John's elephant dining room...an elephant's head coming out of the ceiling? Puh-lease!

rumor says Trading Spaces Family host Joe Farrell is also fired, but he's staying.
The official word is that Paige Davis was ditched as host of Trading Spaces because the show is transitioning to a host-less format that will allow the series to tape new kinds of shows. So is its sibling show, Trading Spaces: Family, also going host-less? A rumor posted online suggests that it is, and thus Joe Farrell has also been let go as host. A Television Without Pity poster provides "a link to a post on the TLC board from a poster who visited a filming site today," and that person was apparently "told by Christi, Joe is filming his last episodes in Florida this week." The link provided to the official Discovery.com message boards, doesn't work, suggesting the post may have been deleted, or suggesting the person can't link. In any case, a TLC spokesperson tells reality blurred that the rumor "is absolutely untrue," so Farrell is sticking around

but it does make you wonder if the logic is going hostless.......
