Okay...

I've seen most of their original series on HGTV, and now the first three new episodes on their Magnolia Network. Chip Gaines has grown increasingly juvenile. His childish antics, verbal and physical, have just become so tiresome, and primarily time filling; not contributing to the content. I'm sure he's a talented builder, and luckily there is at least that. Speaking of talented, Joanna seems to be a talented designer and has good vision when it comes to remodeling. But OMG, I am so tired of the whites and creams! :( Just watched the episode (S1 E3) where the young woman asked for a European cottage look. I've lived in Europe for years. A brick paver floor, a few wooden doors, and a couple of arches does not a European cottage make, with all of that white and cream! Looked very Scandinavian, as so many of their interiors do, and it just isn't fresh or new any more. The young woman was very happy, but then this is her first house with help from her parents and certainly more of anything she'd been living in up to that point in her young life on her own. Kind of goofy background music as well, that doesn't seem to fit the content and can be distracting. Yes, we know you're in Texas. Really was hoping for a new vision, evolved choices in color, but seems like more of the same and it's disappointing. I'm certain they don't care what I think on IMDb, but it's my honest opinion, nothing more, nothing less. They will be just fine, and still a big deal in Waco, and fans everywhere. I wish them well.
