I just happened to stumble across this show this morning as I was channel surfing. Couldn't get to sleep, decided to see what was on. The Mansion Eight contestants help to renovate a Cinncinnati mansion. One of them will end up winning it. Can't tell you much about it, cause I put the TV on "sleep timer," laid back down in my bed to watch and finally fell asleep. Seems like its probably along the lines of House of Dreams. Including the drama and conflict all these reality shows love to have. I think the host said though, that the viewers would be choosing the winner. Not sure about that though. Anyway, just thought I'd let ya'all know about it in case anyone wanted to check it out. I checked TVGuide Online and the premiere replays on the 7th in the evening.

Who, I caught this show Sat. morning. It was okay, not something I would make a point to watch though. The deal is they have to pick a foreman and then they have 5 days to renovate a certain area. This week it was the west wing of the house which was 5 rooms I think. To me it looked better before they did anything. Every single room had something wrong with it. The painting they did looked like school kids did it. They tore out antique tile from the bathroom that was worth a fortune and then didn't have time to finish with new tile. It was terrible. At the end of the 5 days 3 experts come in and judge the rooms. (they also have to furnish the rooms) They have the potential to win $10,000. They had already lost 5,000 due to gambling and the judges awarded them 1350.00 I think. The foreman gives out the checks to each person which are all different amounts. My point after all this rambling is that if they continue to do such a poor job on the rest of the house, it would cost alot of money and a huge amount of time to get it right again. I couldn't understand why they didn't just take everyone and do one room a day and finish it the correct way. Oh well. It was interesting in an annoying kind of way, if that makes sense!

Today they had 7 days to do the Kitchen, $90,000 I think... they had to demolish and the show had the plans they had to use... the show pre ordered cabinets, and countertops. Somehow the last show they had 2 teams, 2 forman, and Andy forman is romantically involved with a girl he traded (Sandi) effectively upsetting her... then he doles out the checks, he gave the shortest check to the girl from the other team (700) and he gave a $2,000 check to Sandi, on the other team (jaw dropping moment yes!) she declines, she didnt do the work (but did the design?) He then somehow arranged to send her roses, (which she left outside on the stoop) weird. Next day they are given the new assignment and Sandi gets to be foreman (weird) but now it seems as there is only one team. She decides a girls night out, girls only... then I get interrupted. I come back and 4 of them are going by private jet to New York and the time has "stopped" Now that angered the guys left behind, so they hire a limo to get rip roarin drunk. One girl stayed back and worked (apparantly she was invited anywhere tho?) Then when they are supposed to be working, 3 guys decide to go to a football game (and they dont understand why everyone is mad! The foreman said we could!) OK, interrupted again! lol weird...

The 3 guys were acting like 3 year olds. I kept yelling at them to "grow up."

How can Andy even remotely think we are going to fall for his ruse and vote for him to get the house?He's a lazy a**.I'd vote for the other goofs before I'd vote for him.I think my vote would go to Kim or Dan.They work hard and are fun to watch.

Boy, Luvmom, I feel totally the same. I like Kim, is she the long blonde who just gets the work done?? Don't remember the other names, but when I was watching it on Saturday I said to the TV "Haven't you (Andy) ever watched one of these shows, the public won't vote for a sabutouer!!! We like hard working nice people to win the prize". He is just a bozo, LOL

I'm such a dork! I was browsing TVCH, clicked on the Other Reality Shows link, and just sort of scanned the threads. Then I saw "The Mansion" and thought, "that seems vaguely familiar." What came to mind was one of those PBS shows where people live in a historical time frame for a while (like Frontier House or something). Imagine my surprise when I opened the thread and saw I was the one who started the silly thing! I totally forgot to keep tuning in on this show. Of course, I'm normally asleep on Saturday mornings, but I had thought of programming my VCR and watching it later. Man, talk about a short attention span. Or maybe I mean bad short term memory. Or maybe a bit of both. At least I finally remembered what the show was about after I opened the thread!

OKAY, this morning was the last show before voting begins. I really like Dan, Kim or Michele to get the house. Voting is over at 10 am eastern on Monday. So if you saw it and want to vote for the winner, now's the time. The finale is on Thursday, the 18th at 10 pm!!! Go vote at tbs.com. Go Dan!!!!

What was Dan on before? He looks familiar. Was glad he won. Mostly his ideas and hard work. Andy was just a real egomaniac!

I was glad Dan won but I was thinking that he probably will not be able to keep the mansion since he probably does not make enough to pay the taxes on it.
