I didn't either but they were advertising it and I forgot. I just got back from TLC.com. Faber is the only returning carpenter with 2 new ones. Frank, Laura, Laurie are the returning designers with 2 new ones. What I read it sounds as if it's gone way down hill. People were begging for Hildi or Doug at their worst instead of the new carpenter.

I saw it and it was good to see Frank, who I really like and also like his designs, but the other designer was really kind of weird and a complainer to boot. I did not like his work either. He had a big entertainment center made and had a fit that it had to be attached to the wall. It was and their nephew tried to climb it and it would have fallen over if it wasn't attached. I don't think he will last long. The people really fought with him.

The new designer wasn't the best. He had to keep going outside and calming himself down. I didn't care too much for his room. I did enjoy the shirtless new carpenter, Brandon, though.

Yep, its back in another new format. They have a $2000 budget per room. They also showed the behind the scenes carpenters working on stuff. Also they talked about how the crew would clean out the rooms. Also a major focus on the carpenter without a shirt on. I actually had to wonder if the shirtless guy even was a carpenter because they never really showed him doing anything. I think he was just there for eye candy. Anyway, time will tell to see if it sticks around.

I loved Paige in the beginning but there at the end I think she got too cutesy at times, and interferred when the designers didn't feel like dealing with her. I remember she got Hildi upset with her (I think it was Hildi) when Paige kept saying let the HG paint the artwork, she's an artist, and Hildi said no, I'm going to do it and Paige wouldn't give up and her voice got pushy, but Hildi did it her way! I think she got on Doug's nerves a couple of times - but Doug kinda brushed her off..... But on the other hand, Paige was the host and it was her job to steer the ship : )

I thought that the designer that they had this week, was going to pop out of her top! I was wondering how you work in clothes like that but she did it.

I saw part of one of the new '07 eps with Laura Day (never liked her) and a new designer and carpenter. They were doing the office of this river rafting company and the I guess bunk house. The rafters were sleeping in their trucks lol. It was meh which is why I turned the channel and didn't see the end lol.

Thank goodness! Get rid of these designers that they have now. The only one still there has been Frank.

They're bringing back Doug, Hildi, Laurie, and Frank according to the article. I hope they also bring back Edward.

not sure I understand the question. but there is a new head of TLC, and they're pretty much rebuilding the network from scratch with almost all new people. they've also moved the network to los angeles. their first two big moves were buying the rights to miss america, and bringing back paige.

well, the drag queens and dominatrixes sound like a gimick..i don't want to watch gimmicks. was just wondering if these gimmicks will be a part of the show with Paige hosting or were they planned as a way to rev up the show before they hired back paige?

I never realized how much I missed watching this show in the afternoon instead of talk shows. I get tried of the talk shows so quickly unless there is someone on that day I want to see. Otherwise the TV stays off all day. Glad to see Paige is coming back along with the original designers. I never really got into the show after she left.
