Why does EVERYTHING have to be instant??? Could hardly make it through one episode of this show. First of all, the host is over the top annoying and doesn't seem to have any purpose in the team. I understand the idea behind doing the makeover in a day, but it just feels unnecessarily stressful, and there's always some additional manufactured drama to make it more tense. Most importantly, the designers have very poor taste.
The exterior of the house in the first episode was beautiful before, aside from needing some repairs and clean-up, especially with all the natural shade from all the trees. I could barely watch as they cut down half of the trees only to plant new ones (classic American move) and replaced their lush, green property with a poorly designed, artificial-looking garden. This show is a terrible example of home renovation with no value given for the character that old things can provide. I get no satisfaction from watching a beautiful old house be turned into a completely average and boring "new American home".
