Trading Spaces -- EXPOSED!
Like Farscape, my girlfriend was the one that made me start watching this show. After catching a number of eps, I noticed something that could blow the lid off of life as we know it...
After the designers finish whatever work they can on day 1, they leave the homeowners "homework" then leave.
A brief musical interlude plays, then the screen says Day 2.
Yet, when the designer walks back in...they're wearing the SAME CLOTHES!! And so are the homeowners!!
We're being bamboozled fellow Trading Spaces fans/DVD talkers! This could be the biggest lie since JFK!...or Area 51!!...or the landing on the Moon!!
They're trying to make us believe that the show takes place over two days!! I saw we protest this lie and stop watching!!
Who's with me??
[Or they could be very smelly while wearing the same clothes...]

What I would love to see is how the rooms look in a month because of the shoddy methods they use in constructing the rooms. While I admit what they do looks pretty good at the end there is no way it will last because it has been thrown together in such a short period of time and not made to last.

They actually use 3 days during some of the shows due to setup, coming up with designs, etc. but all the work is supposed to be done in 2 days (or so I have been told).

trading spaces exposed...most of the "new" rooms that they design are uglier than my toilet bowl after thanksgiving!
I would never let those people touch my rooms. my wife loves the show but she tends to agree that most of the time the designs suck! once in a while i will admit...i like. not too often though.

I don't really like this show but I an forced to watch it. I got bored one day and looked through the book to see if I could find any pics of Paige, Amy or Gen exposed. No luck .

Those people obviously enjoy Value City and KMart, can't get enough of those paisley couches and cheap end tables!

My wife is hardcore into this show. So much so that she bought that companion book that gives bios and pics on all the designers and stuff.

2 holes per staple X 2 staples per flower X ~6000 flowers = 24000 holes in your bathroom wall!!

First of all, While You Were Out is WAY better than Trading Spaces. Theresa Strasser is a much cuter host, and you can't beat Leslie and Andrew's dirty looks at the designers.
Second, the worst Trading Spaces design i saw was the short-haired female designer than made someone's room look like a cemetary, complete with white picket fence and a bedspread made out of green astro-turf. Sleep on it or play golf - it's your choice.
