Fixer to Fabulous (2019– )
9/10
I love the show, but...
18 February 2023
I love the show for reasons mentioned in other reviews but I am dying inside as a teacher because our hosts have picked up some bad habits over the years from other reality stars.

"Meet Dave and I at the house." Take off one of the subjects (Dave) and what do you have left?

"Meet I at the house." That makes no sense.

You'd say, "Meet ME at the house." Or at least I hope you would.

Therefore, for the original sentence, you should say, "Meet Dave and ME at the house." <--this is correct!! I'm a teacher, writer, and editor. Yes, I'm sure it is correct.

Then there's always the: "This is my wife and I's bedroom." There's a reason spell check tries to change that to I'd. You never refer to your bedroom as "I's." You say it's "our" bedroom, or if you want to mention both people, "my wife's and my bedroom," though that is redundant and unnecessary.

EVERY HOST these days on these shows uses "I" because they think they're being classy but it's the opposite! It's so frustrating! Please, can we fix it so our favorite stars seem well-educated? If the idea is to be uneducated, please continue to say, "I's bedroom." It might be too late to re-educate the country but one can try, I guess.

TL:DR Take out the other subject's name and say your sentence. Does it make sense? If not, change it (in most cases change "I" to "me") to make sense.
