Blimey, today's makeover was awful. I don't think the home owners were that smitten either :eek:
I couldn't believe it......surely the loudest, busiest, most floral, clashy patterned, energising room ever...... for that poor man to try and meditate in!

I haven't seen today's ep, but it's as bad as Changing Rooms. It's as if the "designers" are trying to win an exam..... The other day there was an elderly man whose living room was so crammed full of settees and armchairs he would have needed a zimmer frame to tackle the obstacle course, and why, oh why, are there still so many cushions you can't sit down on the chairs?
It's strangely compelling! I think they've spent a bit more money this time and had a bash at trying to make it more sleek, just the two rooms makes more sense. I'd have thought Peter was a bit of a risk, but must admit he's relaxed and natural chatting to the families. Not convinced he's quite so popular with the designers and decorators though, as he seems to wreck anything he touches!
Oh and I know there's keeping it real, but I'm not sure we needed to know yesterday he was desperate for the loo then see him emerge doing up his jeans. :eek:
Im actually tempted to nominate someone to go on here! I even got as far as attempting to apply but it says they dont know yet if there will be another series.
Is it me or is there something insincere about this family?
The sob story is a woman splits up with her husband after their business fails. Shes used to the finer things in life after being rich, so now shes struggling to cope in a rented house.
But despite that she can afford a new business which she owns, and has a part time job too. The house actually looks alright, just maybe needs painting to a colour she likes. Structurally its fine. Im not sure how they are getting round the fact its rented as they are taking out a fireplace!
I dont usually go for sob stories on shows like this but im cringing at how they are making out shes suffered when shes actually probably better off than most people!
Edit, the daughters now turning her nose up at everything! God knows how this will turn out. It seems the mother doesnt like anything the designers have suggested, so why dont she do it herself?

The, hot, daughter seems to be stage centre and front, maybe she's after a model/TV career
I cant believe it! Its hard for the mum because they used to live in a large house with a swimming pool and owned 5 other houses! They holidayed in the caribbean and had a successful restaurant.
But now shes divorced and lost the lot they are struggling to live normal humble lives.
I am struggling to see why she needs her living room decorating?
Secretly hoping she will hate it. Seems odd theyre only doing one room. Usually you get three or four but all they are doing is the sort of thing the family couldve done themselves.
I feel sorry for the previous presenter who gave up a good job at the BBC to do this show and is now out of a job!
I'm sorry but she was awful. Completely out of her depth not being ensconced in half a million pound houses with middle class couples. She constantly looked as though she was scared of getting mugged in some of the estates the show came from! She had zero empathy or enthusiasm. Bring back Teri I say!

How can she be deserving of a make over
Just turned it on and he just said it is not done in an hour but done in a day :eek: Did I hear that right?
I do not believe it was ever done in an hour anyway :rolleyes:
Mmm listening to the story it's a bit off a sob story/ego boost for their failure. Not really what the show is about!

Hey you are forgetting this is Saint Pete, superhero who waved his magic wand and produced a goldmine his children. This programme is now dire with him at the helm, why's it HIS makeover...when it's the work of the designer.
Looks like ITV are full filling a contract commitment with him.

All true.
I cannot stand him and I think this is the 2nd one I have watched but can see me turning off very soon. My god is that daughter a bitch :mad: knocking everything the designer is explaining :rolleyes:
As he is giving up his ITV2 show ,or so I have heard, I have a feeling it will now be overload on ITV1 :yawn:

The Daily mirror Kev is spot on
He gives us something to moan about
What a mess!
Why do they keep banging on about meditation and chill out? Theres no way you could mediate amongst all that clutter and colours.
I couldn't believe it......surely the loudest, busiest, most floral, clashy patterned, energising room ever...... for that poor man to try and meditate in!

I use to live just up the road from there and cannot believe that was the only one I wanted to watch and miss it
Off to Iplayer then. Will I need sunglasses?
Bella, you'll need a Neurologist!
Today's though was lovely.
That bad ey
I did see some photo's of todays and it did look nice.
Jezz That living room was bad :eek:
Was nice to see their neighbours keeping the christmas lights up through the summer
I just read the review and loved the bit at the end "but at least he loves his kids". Brilliant
Oh and I know there's keeping it real, but I'm not sure we needed to know yesterday he was desperate for the loo then see him emerge doing up his jeans. :eek:
