Yawn… I mean really big YAWN. My wife got pretty excited
about this show when it initially aired, but I never got
into it. Anytime she’d watch it with our then land lady
I’d either go play on the computer, take out my GBA, or
go take a nap. Incidentally watching this again for the
sake of the review it was tempting to do all the above,
only my wife wanted to join me this time around. She posed
an interesting question about the show “why are we wasting
our holiday weekend watching this? What incentive is there
for me to relive these not quite stories?” It’s a very good
question, one that plagues reality TV in general. There’s
no epic battle, no maniacal villain to overcome, no nobody
who evolves into a great and memorable hero... just a bunch
of “pretty faces” building houses and not really doing anything
that would be worth more than one watch once in a great
while if there’s really nothing else on. Not to mention
that this series suffers from having an over abundance of
competition, like the HG network where it’s pretty much
nothing but shows like this. It becomes un-special, un-spectacular,
and un-entertaining. I really would not recommend this box
set at all.

Final Words:

Don’t buy this. There are so
many better HG (home and garden) type of shows out there,
you really don’t need to lower yourself to this (or any other)
reality show. |
