A famous comedian's tag line is "I don't care WHO you are; that's funny!" The same can be said for Chip Gaines, a totally lovable goofball. Unlike other "flip" shows, Chip actually does the renovation work with the assistance of Shorty & other construction regulars. His sense of humor, fun and his obvious love for his wife, Joanna, is endearing. "Jo" has impeccable taste. I am amazed at her vision, even in the nastiest houses. I would give this show a ten, except for the fact that they never have same-sex couples as clients. I question the Gaines' judgment in bringing up their four children in a faith, exemplified by their preacher, that teaches homosexuality is a sin. How can you be "so nice" yet teach your children to hate and/or shun certain individuals? It has been proved by scientists that sexuality is in an individual's genetic make-up. That being said, I can tolerate the "oh my gosh" (instead of "oh my God") said by clients as they react to the beautification of their fixer-upper homes. Great show; great premise; great people.
