I was originally a big fan because the projects include affordable homes, a sector largely ignored by other home improvement shows. A year ago, I probably would have rated it an 8 or 9. At this point, new episodes might as well be repeats. Every home gets similar "open plan" living spaces regardless of the age, style, and original layout of the house. Every home is "staged" with the same style of furniture and decor pieces, and will likely have a gigantic, expensive handmade wooden table that few people in America would use more than once or twice a year. There won't be a single TV in sight. Chip will act the buffoon, Joanna will indulge him, and the "kiddos" will be trotted out to "help". Boring.
