I agree Jen. Kia is nails on a chalkboard to me but she was fabulous on this show.

I have never liked Christy or her designs so no surprize there.

I am all for being truthful during the reveal but given these circumstances, profound appreciation was called for if only for the amount of work.

I think Christie has only done 1 or 2 rooms that I like but I like her personality.

This is what is great about this show, it has a broad appeal. I can't even watch Christy or Kia for long. Thank god for Tivo!

I have not seen a room by either one that I like but I have not been watching regularly. I just recently started again.

Laurie and Edward are still on top for me. I have not seen a room of Johns yet.

What is up with Barry? Is he always fresh from bed or aiming for a nap? Got to be one or the other because I have ruled out drugs.

I still think he's on drugs. John was on that Home Free series but since he's been an official designer I think he's only done 1 room but I could be wrong. He does good work though.

I caught a some of that Home Free series and know he won and liked what I saw of his creations. I also like the guy.

I am not ruling anything out with Barry.

Hey sorry Texannie and Fruitbat - I didn't really want to say what I was thinking about their marriage, just that if you ask me, they may have some things to talk about in therapy. He may be coming to some realizations.

Oh god yes, Madelane! That was obvious in the first 3 sentences they uttered. I don't hold out much hope for that union. I cringed when she asked for a kiss at the end and he totally ingnored her.

I just got an email about the new season starting on April 9. No host and each show will have 2 carpenters. They will show if the room is still the same and will have the people sitting there with the designer talking about it. The designers on the first show are Frank and Genevieve and I guess Faber's fiancee goes into labor and he has the phone nearby during the show to see if he's a new daddy or not. Don't know why he wouldn't be with her.

What is the story with a new Trading Spaces format? Is this a one time thing? No Paige or any designers?? What the heck!!
They need to get Vern back, and use Frank, Laurie and Edward more.
Doug, Hildi, Barry and Laura are horrendous designers in my opinion. Will I never be able to watch this show again???

Paige is no longer with the show. There is discrepancy between she was fired or she left on her own. Rumor is she is going to be doing a show with Nate Berkus for Harpo Productions.

How long has Vern been gone? Is he on any other show yet? I've heard rumors that NBC is supposed to have a show for him but I have heard nothing about that in nearly a year...

I always thought Vern and Laurie were the two best designers by far. Even if the style of the room they did wasn't to my taste, the rooms were always nice and never "Over the top". I rarely watch the show anymore now that they're using designers who seem to ruin the rooms. IMHO

I think there are still designers just no host. Their webpage still has everyone on it, but Paige.

Pity & Toodle Loo Trading Spaces!!

You have put the final nail in your, "let's have Hildi & Doug design some sorta sad and sorry, chicken wire, gum foil, Elmer's glue and green stamps" coffin.

I am very curious how much I will like this show without Paige. She was the glue that held it together for me.

Maybe they could get Alex back. Or what's her name-Daz? Dez? (the lamp lady designer from the first season.)

Of course getting Vern back would be great too!!

Or Mitch or Darlene. But not Kimberly!

Lawrence! YES! Finally I am catching some of the shows he hosted. He did a fabulous job. One of my favorite episodes was when he and Linda did each others houses. That was just on the other day. Wrong thread. I will settle down now. pant pant

Lol Ms Bat!! I love that ep too. Especially Laurence's wall of femininity.

I did not think I would like the host-less format, but I love it!!!! I like getting to see more of the projects and especially more of the reveals!

I'm with you Texannie. I started watching it thinking I's miss Paige, but I enjoyed it. I think as long as you have engaging people redoing their homes, it will be okay.
