Finally Laura does a room I like. I really like the table and chairs. I think I need them in my kitchen cause the boys and dogs are destroying my white set lol. I also really loved the colors in Kia's room. Warm and vibrant at the same time.

TS though the Roof last night was very odd.

With a buget of 10 grand I would have thought they would have put more effort into choosing compelling home owners.

I was stunned to see the young couple show such faint enthusiam. So much more about this couple was stunning that it is hard to know where to start. It looked as if they were on the brink of divorce in the opening scene and they continued to expose what appeared to be a trecherous relationship though the entire show. Grim.

I bet the trailer, full of the staff, was buzzing as they pulled away. I guarantee most said, NEVER again.

Last night they traded entire houses and had the whole staff working. It was called Trading Spaces though the Roof.

Each couple chose 3 designers and a carpenter to do their homes. The ones not chosen were the helpers.

One team had, John, Hildi and Barry with Carter. The other team was Laurie, Doug and Laura with Flavor.

It was an interesting show but could have been so much better because the home owners were just other. They had zero charisma and one guy was hostile and appeared to be not all that bright.

Well, to be fair, one of the husbands I kind of liked. It was all kind of odd because they did not do one room to the hilt but spread it out all over the house so the results were less dramatic except for a few details.

The couples did not know that the show had a different format that weekend and were told on the spot what was happening. They were excited, of course, but not as much as I would have thought. They will repeat it. I am anxious to hear others take on this.

The woman of one couple, upon entering her house, complained because they had taked a light fixture off one wall. I thought that was surprizing given the fact she just had 10 grand and 7 people working on her house for two days! So just say thanks and put it back up tomorrow! She had not even seen the rest of the house yet.

Oh that one, ok that was last week then I believe. I didn't look at the repeat last night but I thought it was odd to have left Edward out who is the best designer they have. I would never ever pick Barry on a bet.

Yeah, Fruitbat, that was from last weekend. And, didn't you notice something, ahem, "unspoken" about the one homeowners' marriage?

I will Landi.

Mocha, I thought more than that was odd. Didn't you think the green team was peculiar and kind of nasty?

I would have picked Edward, Laurie and Doug.

::waving at Fruitbat::

Did you skip me on purpose?

If you ask me, I thought the guy half was pretty peculiar and nasty.

ACK!!!!! I did miss your post Madelane, sorry.

When that show finished I was left with the feeling of..........dkfjoindlnfld.

It was not satisfying and I thought it should have been. Spending 10 grand on my house would have been dazzling for me and I did not feel the designers got the props they should have, especially Favor. It left me empty with a feeling of what just happened here?

Madelane, what do you mean unspoken? What did you see?

I must have been thinking of Flavor Flave, the rapper!

I saw this Sunday night as well. It was horrid! I liked the older couple. They seemed to get into it more and were excited and happy. Their whole team worked well and got along.

I could. not. BELIEVE Christy. She was pathetic. We feel disrespected....blah, blah, blah! Edward, I think, thought she was nuts. She was petty and childish. I understand it might be uncomfortable not being chosen, but look at the way Kia handled it! She is not one of my favorites, but she took the bull by the horns and was an asset to her team! Christy just tried to create friction!

And the man on the green team. How ungrateful can you get? He was rude and repeatedly stated that had he known it would be this much work, he wouldn't have done it. What did he think they had signed up for? A tea party? Even if it hadn't been Through the Roof, he still would have had a lot to do!

I just couldn't help picturing people who really want to do trading spaces, and how they would react to him. Maybe seeing Extreme Home Makeover (or whatever the name is) going to such grateful people, it is hard to see someone who was such a sourpuss.

Too bad. It was a good idea.

I'm not defending Christy. I think that most of these designer's have big ego's. Some bigger then others. So I would imagine that the one's that weren't picked had hurt feelings. Even so, that's no excuse to wank around.
I liked the show, but, was not impressed with the outcome, considering they spent 10,000 per house.
