So this show popped up as a suggested series for me, and as I love watching home makeovers, I clicked. From the very first episode I was embarrassed for my country. Tracy indulges in ridiculous American stereotypes and even correlates her awkward personality and abrasive, rude comments to the fact that she's from the U.S. Even when disregarding all this, the show is unbearable to watch, as Tracy continuously runs around RUINING everyone's homes. Her tacky and cheap fashion sense is echoed in her interior design. Her personal style can only be described as "Librarian Who Ransacked a Garage Sale While Trippin' on Acid." Her motto is, "If you can't fix it, hide it." I simply cannot explain how incredulous I have become upon hearing this statement from someone who is PAID to remodel people's personal homes! She paints over beautiful, rich, high-quality wood and installs heinous, 70's style linoleum floors. None of her design schemes make sense, let alone look decent. Don't even get me started on the FUSCHIA PINK walls and decor accents (she once hung a BROKEN, hot pink picture frame with a FAKE, potted orchid dangling in the middle of it right smack in front of an expansive window overlooking a beautiful, lush garden in a sun room. Hilariously, she painted an entire bedroom pink after telling the home owner in the episode IMMEDIATELY PRIOR that pink bedrooms are juvenile). Do not be confused. This is NOT how we act in America, nor how we decorate our houses.
