It might take awhile for you to remember people's names (host Paige, designers Doug, Laurie, Vern, etc., carpenters Ty and Amy Wynn), but once you do you'll be hooked! Everyone pretty much knows the premise: neighbors/relatives/friends swap houses and, with the help of a carpenter and guidance from a designer, spend up to $1,000 redecorating one room. Oh yeah, and they have 2 days to accomplish this.
I don't know that I'd want these designers having free reign in my house, but there are lots of times I like bits 'n' pieces of their overall idea. I may not like that they're painting the kitchen orange, but I do like how they are growing bluegrass in little pots in the windowsill.
Also, it's great when the couples argue with the designers about changing stuff. Makes you wonder why they volunteered to be on the show in the first place if they wanted to keep it the exact same?
If you really end up liking the show, there's a website called Television Without Pity that re-tells each episode with their own snarky comments. It's hilarious and makes watching the episodes even more enjoyable.
