Part of the opening is Laurie and Doug giving decorating recommendation to a https://spankingporn.vip/ while-shifted Pilgrims. Fortunately, the Pilgrims are solely actors, because real Pilgrims would in all probability have the decorating duo within the pillory with their ears nailed to the wooden. Laurie's violating dress codes (circa 1620) and Doug is, let's be honest right here, Doug. In the event that they did not discover one thing to hate after one or two episodes they wouldn't be attempting hard enough. That is adopted by a shot of Amy Wynn and one other Pilgrim sawing a log with a two-person saw whereas Ty tries to look busy. Ty suggests a cordless noticed. Well, that is type of what it is already. The trenches: The room Doug will probably be abusing is a kitchen/dining-room/dwelling-room combo. Which is, to my eyes, gaudy and cramped. And these items is new? Cripes. Homeowners: Tina and James. Laurie's victim room is a long however not horrible-looking living room. Its principal problem is that it seems, properly, actually really lived-in. But I'm being polite. I don't prefer it a lot, both. Homeowners: John and Barbie. (A blonde named Barbie. They're all blondes, aren't they?) They also have canines, so Barbie does not need anything "too fancy", as a result of she has animals. You got Laurie in there, you realize that? I'd drive this automotive into a wall if it weren't for the opposite people on the highway! Ah, Laurie and Doug go buying. Laurie, being the fantastic person she is, is backseat driving, saying she knows how you can get to Beacon Hill. She follows this up by proclaiming to the primary set of ears she sees (an antiques dealer) that Doug's driving is not as much as par. She additionally gets the vapours (at least, that's what it regarded like) when telling the dealer that she's accountable for half a hundred grand in money. Antique vendor immediately tries to promote her the whole lot in arm's reach. He is aware of his prospects, that's for positive. You've watched this show earlier than... proper? Ah, one of the homeowners has already talked about that she desires to maintain her beloved flooring. And already I hear both carpenters speaking about their Designing Overlords changing the floor. It's already shaping up to be a daily day on the races. Decadent: Within the technique of ethical or physical decay. Laurie buys a $2,800 chair and squeals that she's "sooooooooo decadent!" She additionally mentions that she has carte blanche, "No one to hold me accountable!" for what she does. (Calls up a screencap of the homeowners.) Yep, it is just an everyday day at the races, all proper. Ads with out the commercials: Only Ty, Amy Wynn, and a camera crew may walk into a home Depot and get help instantly. Ty, ever the gentleman, asks to be helped discover the bathroom. Ty-dor the Burninator: Ty (who, driving a toy car in another scene, spun out) supposedly blocked the hearth lane of the home Depot he went to. Math time: if the wooden he's taking a look at (and wincing about the price) is $529 per sq. foot, and there's about a hundred square toes in the shop, how a lot will the lawsuit for just that lumber be if the place burns down? Ad executives. They execute advertisements. Throughout the commercial, we see Sony Vega advert primary. Do not forget that. The Perkinator: Paige explains the rules, and appears to be about to burst earlier than she mentions the $100,000. When she does mention it, there's a lot pleasure and Barbie accuses Paige of being "stuffed with it". If you happen to imply stuffed with perkiness, you are right. Meanwhile, Tina's vocabulary has devolved into "Stop it! Stop it!" I died in your arms tonight: Laurie, ever the grasp of the refined, tells the newly-arrived homeowners that she is "Dying, I am dying for you!" Evidently Tina does not want Laurie useless - in opposition to the needs of a few viewers members, one would assume - because she continues her litany of "Stop it!" in between other, more significant, phrases. Laurie also claims she's shaking, and she holds out her hand and shakes it to prove it. (Holds out hand and shakes it.) Damn, so am I. Hard to type with one hand, though. Gender mirrors: Both male homeowners appeared reluctant to hitch their wives in the large Excited Designer Hug. Don't they make sauce? Product placement alert: Doug's placing in Pergo floors. Crooooooooooooooowbar! Tina and James attempt to pry their neighbor's Tv out of an armoire, however it's wedged in tight. Much endeavoring lastly frees it of its moorings. My evil facet wanted to see them use a crowbar, but they did not, I suppose as a result of it is, you recognize, a bigass expensive Tv. Damn, the destruction quotient will probably be surprisingly low this episode. Meanwhile, Doug unloaded some new cabinets. Woo! They'll destroy the outdated cabinets! Nobody can use old cabinets! Woo! Grrr! Hulk offended! Hulk run fingers although hair and sigh and say Hulk is confused! Laurie will, she claims, have a serious hissy fit if the carpet is glued. It is not, so we're saved a music and dance, and as a substitute subjected to a tune and dance about putting down maple floors. She's shaking her fingers once more too, however with both arms. (Tries it.) TYPUNG WITGH Nose HARDF.L. Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrybar! Mark, Nathan, and John. No, they are not apostles, they're Doug's staff of friendly Home Depot Product Placement At-Home Services helpers. Wow, between the extendible pointer stick he is been utilizing to point at things, the identify "Operation Sophistication", and his army of builders, he'll be wearing a common's outfit for the designer chat at the end of the episode. They've additionally acquired a pry bar! MANLY DESTRUCTION TIME! Airhead vs. Gasbox: Laurie (to her vast and abyssal disappointment) cannot change the gasbox fireplace, as it will take too long. Given the shoddy-work horror tales you hear from some former Trading Spaces victims homeowners, I wonder at changing it anyway. I can see the headlines now: "Plymouth obliterated in fireball. Homeland Security searching Al-Qaeda agent codenamed 'Laurie Smith'." Drawer Wars: Okay, first the 'Amy Wynn and Ty battle for the router bit tool drawer' gags have been humorous, however they rapidly obtained severely creepy. I don't even wish to know what the hell's happening with those boxer-quick-like abominations Ty whipped out - Is that a factor to make it appear to be your ass is hanging out? - but I'd wish to have phrases with someone over it. Painful phrases. Though I wonder at Amy Wynn's qualifier that that is the primary time she and Ty have crossed paths "as carpenters". I'm secretly hoping it signifies that the following Trading Spaces spinoff might be Trading Spaces: Highlander. You know, Amy Wynn's strolling down a dark alley, then there's that bizarre sound as Ty steps out of the shadows, they've a flashback to this scene, then they pull out swords and attempt to hack one another's heads off. (If it ever happens, my prayers are with Amy Wynn. Oh, wait, I'm agnostic. Okay, my vitriolic phrases of hatred are with Ty, then.) Heeeeeeere we're, born to be kings.... Well, I assume this Amy Wynn vs. Ty arm wrestling is as close as I'll get to an epic battle at the tip of which there can be only one. Paige breaking it up is hardly epic, as well. Spank me, I've been a nasty bad boy.... Paige took to slapping guys on the ass this episode. First was Ty (though she missed and acquired him closer to the kidney) when he made a ultimate play for Amy Wynn's instrument drawer. It will need to have been spontaneous, else I'm sure Ty's scriptwriter (he should have one, no model-turned-carpenter could suppose up this much dialogue) would have put in some cheap-shot comment about enjoying the spanking. Her second victim was a homeowner, John (who's working with Doug), but she seemed to imply it as encouragement as he walks off digital camera to do some work. He seemed to take it as encouragement, as I heard an off-digicam "Woo-hoo!" just some seconds after the slap. I presume the delay was John shortly checking to verify that Paige, not Doug, had slapped him. I'm so dissatisfied I need to bust up one thing! They did not bust up the cabinets. Paige is as disappointed as I'm. Seems that John, not content material with getting his dwelling accomplished as he works here, is taking the cabinets for his storage. Aww, boo. Recyclers be DAMNED! On tonight's Trading Spaces, Ty helps Laurie get in contact together with her interior pimp: A minimum of, that's what it seems like as he provides her his pimp-flavah large "$$$" ring and matching dollar-signal neck weight during their dialogue of the new mantle for the fireplace. "Yeah, just cover your wedding ceremony ring with that." Evidently he's not making an attempt to make her appear like a single madam as a lot as externalizing her want to spend and spend and spend. Well, he is on the right track then. I just didn't realize that Laurie's inside desires seemed so very like a homey wit' bling-bling. There's obtained to be therapy for that. Evidently, the bling-bribe was enough to clean Laurie's mind of good ideas: Ty gets to design the entertainment center. It cantilevers. Sounds attention-grabbing. Though, if a brand new viewer tuned in while he was describing it intimately and the way it's going to tie into the room, they'd be questioning why the designer's wearing a software belt and who the girl within the gaudy jewelry is. Oh captain my captain: Doug's received a conflict room arrange. I tell ya, he'll be Four-Star General Doug before this is over. Oh my God, he's obtained a wall-sized chart. And Paige is asking it brilliant. For Hastur's sake, don't encourage him! He's additionally summoned Mark, an electrician, from the misty deep. His army is expanding with each passing minute; before lengthy no mortal will be able to cease his reign. The electrician is going to put in lights (recessed fixtures) around the fireplace. Wait a minute, that's Mark the electrician, John the homeowner, and Mark, Nathan, and John the unrelated three-man Home Depot collective. Man, this is going to get confusing. No, it's not yellow. It is a dark light off-off-yellow. Laurie first seems to be admitting to the truth that her paint palette is, nicely, limited. "You understand, I attempt to idiot everyone, and it's like... naaaah." Yellow. It will be yellow. "I don't see this shade as boring. It's an exquisite rich shade and I'm utilizing the fallacious software to try get the can high off with...." No, you are using the right device wrong. I can see the lid moving nearly an inch off the can on the far side. Because the paint stirrer she's utilizing is just going to get covered in paint anyway, she ought to just stick it in the can on the boundary between the open part of the lid and the stuck part, and twist. As she reveals the paint - which is yellow - she fires the primary salvo in her common battle over the precise colour. "I know it seems to be extra yellow there" - That's as a result of it is yellow! - "nevertheless it dries a very kind of earthen...." An earthen yellow perhaps? James seems to have seen the show before, as he mumbles something that feels like "It dries...." like he will say "It dries yellow." however trails off. Laurie, undaunted by my muttered insults and James's nebulous feedback, continues. "It's called 'Chestertown Buff'." Feels like a porn star. Our Yellow Du Jour has 37 results in Google, it's so in style. Laurie paints some on the blue wall, so we can all see the glory of not-yellow that she's seeing. On the wall, it looks yellow. So yellow, in fact, that even she's forced to admit it. "And on this blue, it's trying really yellow." No, my expensive, it's not the blue that's making it yellow, it is the yellow that is making it yellow. Tina tries to be consoling and compromising. I do not suppose she's seen much of this show before, then. She says "I feel Barbie wished yellow. I mean, we can say yellow, okay? We can say buff, but it's yellow." But Laurie's not performed yet, no sir. After closing her eyes (to avoid the damning yellow evidence, I presume) and tensing up like she's simply stepped into something disgusting, she says "No, however it isn't yellow! Eeeee!* Let me go get the swatch; that is gonna drive me crazy, it isn't y'all." (*To translate that "Eeee!" into written English: That's "Eeee!" as in "Eeee! That is unpleasant!" not "Eeee! A MOUSE!" or "Eeee! We're finished!" A foul, however not scary, eeee.) Tina, getting sick of Laurie's avoidance of the painting (and the writing) on the wall, factors on the yellow and says "Laurie, yellow." as if she was introducing them to one another. I'm thinking they're going to want to add a tenth circle to Hell simply to accommodate the dangerous Trading Spaces designers. Another one! Doug has hired an "artisan" named Ron. Doug explains how he hires art groups to do creative work for all his high end clients. I'm positive that can put Barbie at ease, once she goes residence and learns that Laurie hasn't employed anybody up to now and is burning time arguing about yellow. Speaking of which.... And another one of those too.... For every hired hand Doug summons, Laurie has an insistence that it isn't frickin' yellow. (Not that she'd ever use such phrases herself, no....) Paige has appeared to echo Laurie's sentiment that it that it wants two coats. However, Paige says they want it just to ensure it's really, shock surprise, yellow. I ponder at the high-quality precision with which Laurie reaches the top of the sentence "It's Chestertown Buff, it's not..." simply as Paige chimes in with "And it looks..." so Paige and the homeowners' shout of "Yellow!" concurrently drowns out Laurie and ends her sentence. Laurie, in response, throws a miniature foot-stamping tantrum. "No it isn't, it's BUFF!" She follows this with a giggle, which jogs my memory of a Usenet troll who follows a flame with a smiley face, so you'll be able to by no means quite inform if he's insulting or just tactless. I do hope her one-year-old son Gibson is watching, he'll learn some nice tips for being a brat just by watching Mommy! Then we'll see a toddler strong enough to hoist his mom with her own petard. Ahhh! Prison of love flashback! No, it is not quite brown-grey enough, however Ron explains they're going to be placing a blue-grey plasterish/paintish product on the partitions, which will then be speckled with the same stuff to make a textured wall. Doug does the primary coat (using a roller), then Barbie does the speckling (utilizing a brush). The speckling seems good. Paige fault: Laurie seems to have conveniently forgotten that $1000 of her finances (she thankfully has $1500 left, I was so nervous) is going to Paige, to take a homeowner shopping for the "Paige Gift", an merchandise of the homeowner's alternative that the designer will have to use in the room. My suggestion to Tina and James: $One thousand of vivid green paint, or one in all the opposite colours Laurie can not use as a important level of her designs. Oh, and a can of inventory-normal yellow, only for comparison functions. Laurie, feeling the money slipping out of her fingers, bites her finger in considered how one can spend her last $500 before Paige grabs it. Apparently, Paige already has some ideas about the place to take the homeowners purchasing. She says it is to Laurie's liking. Laurie ain't shopping for it. Where's the crimson-scorching eye poker? Or the cyanide? The going-to-commercial bumper was a shot of Ty smothering Amy Wynn with the creepy boxer shorts. Within the immortal words of A.K. Swift: "Watch me vomit!" Speaking of vomiting.... Sony Vega ad quantity two. Do not forget that. Oh, and doesn't the ditty in the background of the "E-Bay bidding" Earthlink advert sound just like the Moon Patrol theme? The Howling: Tina and James speak about how lucky their neighbors are to be scoring all-new furnishings. (And your outdated cabinets, sister.) Tina, nevertheless, mentions that they have an enormous ol' "Marmaduke" dog (That is the form of animals they have?) that was allowed on the previous furniture. Oh, I'm sure that $2,800 chair is going to have excessive resale value when, instead of something like Laurie's dainty little hips, it is going to have an enormous mass of slobbering dogflesh parked on it. And do not forget whatever fabric Laurie's obtained in mind for this room.... James needs to sink their $a thousand gift into an excellent gate. Meanwhile, Paige springs her Paige Gift on John and Barbie. I notice she doesn't stress the "Has to use it in the room." thing. Or indeed, even have Doug round. Ty vs. Ty: A shot of Amy Wynn. Something sails in from off-digicam and hits her, eliciting an "Ow! That one damage!". I was positive it was Ty, but as an alternative it's Doug proving he generally is a bastard, too. Doug is getting Amy Wynn to make a table. The desk of her dreams. Dougie boy, the desk of her goals is prefab. Though she does caress that wood really lovingly. Hordes of males watching want to be that wood. The table shall be six by three in mahogany and maple. Amy Wynn promises to have the building of it finished tonight, so it can be completed up tomorrow - evidently the crew doesn't have the planer wanted to sort out the job. Doug's army of teamsters vs. Laurie's seamster: Finally, Laurie's first signal of employed help, Daniel, appears. Or, extra precisely, Laurie drags Tina into the dank basement-cum-sweatshop the place she's trapped the poor man. He's a "skilled 'stitcher', is what the correct lingo is for a man". So, what is it for a woman? A stitchress? A stitchrix? A stitchrice? Or might it probably be a 'stitcher' as properly? All of it sounded like she was stressing that he was a man. He's a man, we may inform, he seems like one, he can sew, massive deal, let's move on. Tina has been taken into the dungeons so she will be able to iron. Appliances are higher than leisure: Doug speaks to the homeowners about their Paige gift. They're leaning more in direction of dwelling entertainment, encompass sound, and so forth. Doug is steering them in the direction of kitchen appliances. Did the man not price range for them, or what...? Dougby and Pokey: Doug continues to be tapping and poking at things with his little pointer, from Amy Wynn's wood to the cabinets. He's also demanding to be saluted by his Home Depot prices, now. Certainly one of the house Depot individuals, who I'm calling MarkNathanorJohn, mentions (at Doug's repeated proddings for a practical ETA on getting the cabinets finished) that it's going to be just a few hours "as long as we don't have any more interruptions". Doug asks MarkNathanorJohn if he is implying that Doug is an interruption. MarkNathanorJohn denies it, however homeowner John turns quisling and says that MarkNathanorJohn is certainly implying that. Looks like John's jockeying for the place of Trusted Lieutenant. So Laurie carries a headshot of Doug along with her wherever she goes? Well, not less than it's not a headshot of Frank.... Laurie is hiding her face behind a monochrome headshot of Doug (very enticing picture, I must admit, in that noncommittal guy way of admitting one other guy appears hunky). She's doing this as part of a posh and fully nonscripted subterfuge focusing on stealing Doug's electrician away to do her electrics work. The gag, whereas drained, is not as bad because it sounds as a result of that is all shot via the Paige Cam. Laurie, who normally appears not less than form of cute, tends to appear like a fish on the Paige Cam. For most of this Paige Cam moment, we will not see her face. Consider all the unborn nuts that died for this mantle! Ty has busted out a new walnut wooden mantle for Laurie (from a photograph of the same mantle). Laurie says that, despite the haste, it is essentially the most stunning thing she's ever seen. Well, use good wooden instead of MDF, that occurs. Also, working with the Banyan brand looming over him most likely reminds him of his evil corporate masters. You do not displease the evil corporate masters, for they're delicate and fast to downsize. I, for one, welcome my evil company masters! It's the rattling normal they appointed I've issues with: Amy Wynn speaks to the Paige Cam for a moment on how, despite solely engaged on one house, it feels like four due to all that is going on. She also fondles the wood once more. Mahogany. I'd fondle it too. Doug seems to have unusual ideas. Doug needs to stain the mahogany black. I do know nothing about wood, but Amy Wynn (getting burdened over the whole affair) seems like she's heading in the right direction when she explains the next: Doug wants the wooden dark, however doesn't appear to be considering that finishing it'll darken it to begin with. Staining it in addition is simply going to make it seem like they painted it black. The wooden grain shall be lost in the blackness. Doug's ears do not appear to be burning purple throughout this: He's along with his electrician because the fellow installs the final of the halogen ceiling lights. Doug plays with the dimmer a bit. Maybe he can sense the approach of immortals: Ty, sensing James's method, turns and greets him without any apparent cues that James must be there. For his next trick, he gets James to saw a bit of wood. Ty then goes on to indicate Laurie his sketchbook page devoted to the cocktail table he is doing. I'm glad that the digital camera angle allows us to see inside the sketchbook and confirm it's an image of a table: Laurie gasps with such depth on the sketch that, if we could not see it, we'd surprise what else Ty's been sketching. Appliances are better than leisure redux: So this is the reason Doug does not need his people spending their $1,000 Paige Gift cash on leisure. There's a Sony Vega forty two inch plasma Tv sitting in a trailer outside. Surround sound, computer that's integrated with the entire mess if Doug is to be believed, the whole shebang. How good's the safety on these shoots, and any thought in the event that they're doing another $100,000 episode? John's thought on the packing containers of costly expertise? "Good factor this is going to James, 'trigger I wouldn't be capable to determine it out." (Blink. Blink.) Come ON! You're a guy! Tv-related toys and the acquiring thereof are some extent of honor for many males! Try to be on your knees praying for one of these items! You sissy! Of course, I would not need one either, I'd moderately a bigass monitor for my 3.06 GHz Pentium box, but I admit my sissiness. And my geekiness. This promo of sorts was, all in all, a handy approach to do an in-show Sony Vega plug to match the ones we have seen twice up to now within the advert blocks. In unrelated news, apparently John "received the coin toss" (which was additionally off-camera... hmm) and goes out with Paige to hunt down the elusive Paige Gift. Barbie is disillusioned that she has to remain home whereas her husband gets to go out with Paige. Good thing she missed the ass-slapping and the "Woo-hoo!" some time back, else she'd be extra than simply disenchanted. I also notice that John will not be so apprehensive about his spouse staying home with Doug and all these burly Home Depot building staff. Oh ye of much faith. Add an advert rant: I do not like screaming babies in ads. But this Stainmaster Carpet one really gets me: Daddy puts his incessantly screaming baby on the carpeted flooring whereas he grabs a stuffed animal. Baby falls asleep immediately. As they plug the comfort of the carpet, a disclaimer fades in at the bottom of the display: "It is suggested babies not sleep on their stomachs." As somebody watching with me mentioned: "It is suggested babies not sleep on their stomachs, but this one is not ours so we do not give a rattling." Zoooom! The present roars again with a shot of Ty driving a souped-up golf cart, shouting to feminine pedestrians*, and passing a van reading "The (Something) of Mark Connolly". (*The sound has been muted for the musical back-from-business sting, so I don't know what he says.) Kid in a sweet store time: Laurie's so completely satisfied about one thing that she has both James and a camera crew in tow as she approaches it. It is a truck. Within the truck is furniture. And on the furniture is... fabric! Laurie expresses her love for the fabric, and begins caressing the primary piece visible via the delivery plastic. She continues by giving a plug to the furniture maker and explaining how she chose the fabric for the furniture. (Of course she would not accept stock upholstering!) She lovingly particulars, with acceptable closeups, how the yellow in a single piece ties in to the yellow of one other piece. Question: Why are these two pieces of furnishings covered in pale yellow and yellow/acid green stripes, when the partitions are, by Laurie's insistence, not yellow at all? Why are the chairs not Chestertown Buff? Or camel? Or any of one in all Laurie's odd paint names? Why? Because she loses herself in the outline of the fabric and would not catch herself using the forbidden word.... YELLOW! The prices she quotes, at James' request? $4900 for the sofa, $4200 for the love seat, $3900ish for a chair, and someplace between $1600 and $2600 (Laurie's misplaced rely) each for two other chairs. Custom fabrics have their worth. Doug abuses the peons and appeases his masters: During Laurie's furnishings lovefest, we reduce away for the following bits: 1) Amy Wynn shows her progress on the table to Doug. They argue about the completion time, ending with Amy Wynn's "Fifteen (minutes) AND You're not STAINING IT!" 2) Doug and his pointing stick meet with MarkNathanorJohn. MarkNathanorJohn explains how they're putting in the brand new cabinets and how he simply, because he's a nice guy, knocked collectively a bit of conduit so a flooring vent that was ineffective underneath the old flooring cupboards will now redirect out into the kitchen. Doug says how a lot he loves MarkNathanorJohn's work. The gods of Home Depot smile and nod and see it is good. They promise to give Doug another slave to push round. 3) Amy Wynn shows Barbie methods to do mitered edges with a chop saw. Get shifting or I'll plant one other one on your ass! Paige and her slapping pal John are off to blow $1000. They usually're off in a stretch limo. Paige notices that John appears nonchalant about the limo and the $1000 money Paige is brandishing. Of course he's, he's bought Paige within the backseat with him and he's due to this fact robotically kicked into "suave" mode. I mean, Paige in the backseat of a limo with plenty of cameras, what more could a man want? For the rest of this procuring journey, I'm calling John "Spanky". Ty reveals more of his sketchings to girls: Tina's learning concerning the table that makes Laurie gasp. Tina, in distinction, is gasp-free. Meanwhile, Barbie's not an apt pupil at Amy Wynn's chop noticed. The blade stops halfway via a chunk of wooden and the machine starts screaming like a banshee with its leg in a bear entice. Amy Wynn has Barbie stop and explains what happens when you put an excessive amount of drive on the handle. Barbie, supposedly wiser for the lesson, then begins up once more and the screeching begins once more. Reacting to the "a lot power" screeching, she places both arms on the handle and begins using twice as a lot drive as before. Now commences Amy Wynn shouting "TURNITOFFTURNITOFFTURNITOFF!" over the blade's unholy rasp. The blade off, she calmly (I do not know how) says "You've received my noticed a bit of angry." Well, the noticed could be offended, however I do not think it is the saw that is most likely seeing visions of twisting this Barbie doll's head until it comes off. Ty packs his wooden and Tina into a automobile to go on a quest for heavier hardware facilities. Guy doing gal things: Shh, it's a Best Buy. Shhhh! Paige and Spanky arrive at a Best Buy, a incontrovertible fact that is only apparent when you see the reflected emblem and the occasional in-retailer sign. I'm guessing they did not pay enough ad dollars. Now, we see Spanky's fantasies about going out with Paige dashed hopelessly against the rocks of reality. While she is a girl, and he a man, there's still something separating them: She's a girl, and he's a man. A lady and a man who are procuring. Paige starts to mull over the relative advantages between a toaster and a toaster-oven, whereas Spanky simply wants to grab the very first thing that appears like a toaster and go. Paige, being the nice hostess, gives in simpler than any self-respecting girl ever should. Gal doing man issues: She's out with Ty. Shhhh! While on their subject journey to the Magic Land of Big Routers, Ty - referring to himself within the third individual - corrects Tina's misconceptions of a high-tech router, which he claims is just not so much like a "funky noticed" (in Tina's phrases) as it is just like the Terminator. Insert your California recall joke right here. However, Ty quickly defers to the Keeper of the Router for more complicated data. In this the Keeper fails, basically regurgitating Ty's phrases but with extra jargon and fewer action movie references. Guy doing gal issues, part 2: It's a bust. And stop looking at Paige's! Paige declares the purchasing journey "a bust". Now we all know Best Buy did not pay much. But Spanky has an idea! A Playstation for the kids! Imagine taking part in that on the bigscreen Tv! Paige says, "Oh, dude, you might be thinking!" What he hasn't considered is that there is going to be a holy warfare over that Tv when the mother and father need to observe cable and the kids need to play Crash Bandicoot. Gal doing man things, part 2: What-what-WHAT? Ty discusses one thing with Tina over the router noise. It sounds to me like "I really feel the goowa bafudgeit! 'Cuz I fava mudgeit! Az az a lovely factor!" Tina responds with "Take a walk right down to my home subsequent!" I think Ty's speaking about how you may make stunning issues with a big budget. Nepotism! Doug has hired an previous coworker (properly, an previous supervisor, I believe - Doug used to work in his shop) named Chris to assist Amy Wynn do some wainscoting work. Doug kisses Amy Wynn to speed up the work. Chris declines an identical boon. That's a lovely wainscoat: So, of two pronunciations of 'wainscoting' I found in all of the dictionaries I checked and one I found solely in just a few, they went for the rarer one. Okay, tremendous. I hear "Postal 2" is basically good. Let's get that. Ah, the wonders of choosing a recreation to go along with the PS2. After Paige and her pal present their incompetence at taking part in, Spanky grabs a sport and says "This looks like a kid's game." An extremely scientific technique to do it, in comparison with, say, the rating. Paige says it appears to be like more like a child's game than, say, (Paige grabs semirandom title) "this". Some rewinding and fastforwarding later and i realized it was Everquest! Bwa-ha-ha! An amazing plug for the Evercrack Elven Princess and her twin Boobs of Fanboy Attraction +5! Paige, glad about their reasoned selection of game, lets out a scream. Little doubt the opposite clients, who I'm sure are even now being held in the far aspect of the store by TLC security goons, had been joyful to hear her whoop of ecstasy. Lil' Miss Eloi visits her pet Morlock: Laurie gasps, both because her basement stitcher has completed the gold table skirts he was doing, or because the Paige whoop within the last scene deafened her. "Oh, it's so great!" Definitely the skirt, then. Seeing one completed, with yellow-gold topper fabric, elicits an additional half-moaned "Oh, that's lovely." I said it, there's an orgasmically joyous squeal coming up. Are they carrying seatbelts? With 770 dollars left after buying the PS2 - It was solely $230 after taxes, with a game? - Paige and Spanky talk about their next stop. Spanky, clearly attempting to recall the line from memory, says: "What about Home Depot has a... a... house retailer!* Home Style... store! And it's all excessive-end appliances... uh, or hello-high-finish** issues for your home." He then adds a hastily-mumbled, "We can go there." *Paige quietly starts to prompt him before he catches himself. **He provides the PS2 field he is holding a slap to emphasise his point - or his frustration - right here. Poor Spanky, Paige is making you work to your new cabinets. In all fairness, although, Paige's angst-ridden look, supposedly as she was weighing advantages of the 20 minute one-approach trip to the home Depot retailer, adopted by a determined "STEP ON IT!" to the limo driver, was only nominally extra genuine and much more annoying than Spanky's hack job on the home Depot line. In one other dimension, Doug pushes "Barbie Doll" into some sewing, so she "steps on it" and zips by means of about $5 of the 75-dollar-a-yard silk curtains right away. Doug admonishes her and speaks menacingly of messing up 300 dollars in silk. Now all Barb has to do is tick off Paige and she'll have aggravated your entire holy trinity of Designer, Carpenter, and the Perky Host. Poor woman, television life isn't treating her well in any respect. Though, if Doug's utilizing 75-dollar-a-yard silk for drapes, what's Laurie going to do to trump him? $200 per yard? And one other thought: If Doug's so frightened concerning the silk, why's he drinking proper over it? Meanwhile, with the competent female homeowner.... Ty, now again at the home, takes a break from the cocktail table of routing wonders to indicate Tina how his grasp plan on the shelving system goes. After a lot moaning and groaning, he matches the entertainment center shelving system into place on the future wall mount. They do not precisely slide as much as they can be yanked out of place and caught into a slightly completely different horizontal place. But hey, higher to have a snug match than to have all your CDs fall out of the shelf. He additionally referred to as down the routing magic on the shelving system, to make wonderful horizontal grooves into which CD jewel instances match. Tina reiterates her want to get Ty in her house. Then he says "Are you loopy? There is not any room for me over there!" Oh, nice. Now Tina is aware of about the Legions of Doug ravaging the land while she was locked within the basement with a stitcher. I went to the World Expo in Montreal. It was manner cooler than this. Paige and Spanky pull up in front of the Expo Design Center. I believed they had the flawed place till I noticed the relatively tiny writing "A home Depot Company" below the title. Between his manly buying method and his admitted lack of technology talent, he goes for the blender that, as Paige says, just has an on and off swap. My blender's older than I am and it has extra features than that. We now pause for a break from the Spank & Mindy present. Back dwelling, Barbie is offended (heh heh) that Paige and Spanky are off having enjoyable. Doug turns the screws a bit about the money, the limo, Paige.... Hey, I'd quite him off in a limo with Paige and a thousand dollars than him off alone in a limo with a thousand dollars. Paige isn't a girl now, she's a lady who's procuring. Whole 'nother being proper there. She's about as sexy as a dead fish to a median man proper now. Doug turns the screws a bit extra, invoking the work "perky". Because you understand that every screaming tryst is described as "perky". Spanky is doing all the homework tonight. Bad, bad Spanky. We now end our pause. Paige, displaying her perkiness, attempts to buy much of the shop before realizing her price range will not hold. She screams a bit too. I hope Barb did not hear that. After the business, and with darkness lurking outside the windows, they arrive house. Doug struggles with the video game title "Jak and Daxter", renaming it "Jak and Dax. Ter." Barb hopes they have more than that. Paige: "In fact We've Greater than THAT!" I hoped she'd say they blew all of it on champagne, a scorching tub, and a few strippers. But it's a family show. Not that Paige dresses all that much heavier than the Everquest babe. (Though Paige has by no means been chained to an altar, much to the dismay of some of the fanbase.) Doug seems to be anticipating greater than six(ish) packing containers. When there is not, he falls back into diplomat mode and says "Well, that's too much! Cool-cool-cool-cool." Paige is $68 underneath price range, by the best way. It's sunny again! Ty drives out to see Amy Wynn. He uses, in fact, his super golf cart. He virtually goes into the same spin he did with a toy automobile at the top of the episode. Amy Wynn has enough faith to not dive for cover, the idiot. The 2 carpenters commiserate about their workloads and exalt at the true Wood they're using. Amy Wynn explains Doug's desire to abuse the mahogany with ebony stain. Ty, being Ty, says "Ebony and mahogany? Ain't that a music?" Sadly, Amy Wynn does not belt-sand his face off. It's darkish again? Paige proclaims the fading daylight, which has started to fade after its brief stint of being darkish, then gentle once more. The second-shift Home Depot people are placing Doug's ground in. He berates Spanky - sorry, "John" - for being out all day with Paige. Laurie exhibits off her maple floors. Cinnamon-colored maple floors. Brown, who'da thunk it? Though it does look good. Homework: General Doug's two conscripted grunts shall be painting the ceiling while the home Depot hirelings do the floor. That strikes me as a dance and a half, until everyone learns find out how to wall-walk. Laurie needs her individuals to put in the floor. Oh, wait, she's just kidding! A 4-particular person Home Depot crew are doing the flooring. In reality, the homeowners must polyurethane the wall-shelf thingy and paint the molding for the room. Paige confronts Doug on the wood staining. He refuses to discuss it, for he's the final. Except he cannot tell the difference between residence and Home Depot anymore. Paige says they're both delirious. The legions are probably contemplating relieving him of command. Doug clearly hasn't discovered the trick of mainlining some caffeine crystals. If it does not kill you, you will stay up for weeks! Oh, and father mutant kids. Paige also uses the tremendous golf cart to drive Laurie dwelling, or to no matter temporary domicile is serving the function thereof. When Laurie lists the day's achievements, Paige responds with "No! Get out!" and stops the cart. Laurie finishes talking and will get out of the cart. Wow, I didn't think Paige actually meant that determine of speech actually. Abandoning Laurie in the midst of nowhere with nothing however a camera crew, floodlights, and no matter transportation the camera crew's using? How will she ever get home? What a heartless bitch. No-drip paint roller: Barbie and John focus on the painted ceiling. They've religion in Doug, although they think it is weird to paint a ceiling. Woah, that's saying one thing. It's saying something else that John's using a clean white roller to paint the ceiling gray. Tiring of this feat, he additionally helps set up the crown molding. The son of Appliances are better than entertainment: Paige, with an umbrella and in different clothing from the day's filming, springs the free Tv/audio system/etc. factor on James and Tina. Wow, I suppose self-confessed tech-illiterate John is getting a fancy-schmancy Tv as well. Paige calls Tina "Dude!" but forgets that the Dell Dude and his ilk made that little bit of vernacular gender-neutral. She says "I just known as you each dudes! I'm delirious!" Maybe we should always relieve her of command. I do know this man named Joe who's got hosting expertise. Paige then springs the computer shock as properly. Tina responds with "Cut the s---!" and is clever enough to comprehend that she's going to be getting similar surprises. James, after Paige leaves, suggests asking for even more stuff, since all the things they've thought of to date has been included. Ah, wise homeowner desires to milk this for all it is price. Day 2. Well, Day 1.9999: Doug, in additional informal duds as well, will get to lug the still-perky and still-informally-dressed Paige into the half-finished room (at 2 AM) to examine the paint job. He sees spots on the ceiling. I think he's just seeing spots, interval. He sends Paige house for her beauty sleep. Maybe he is seeing spots and thinks she's got acne or something. Barbie says that Paige doesn't need beauty sleep. Doug kisses Paige on the cheek. Paige says, dreamily - because she's about to fall asleep - "I really feel more stunning already!" and leaves. First Amy Wynn, now Paige. My God, I'm getting jealous of Doug. Someone shoot me. Over at Casa Del Maple Floor, one of many friendly hardworking Home Depot people (who work all evening on issues for everybody, I'm positive) semi-jokingly decides to take a 5 hour coffee break. His head's most likely on a pike at Home Depot's corporate HQ proper now. Paige, feeling considerably ineffective with the pile of educated professionals round, lastly goes home. Her meandering speech makes me assume the left facet of her brain (or her scriptwriter) has already gone to sleep. Whatever she's taking, I need some. Paige, inhumanly perky as ever, shows up after 3 hours of sleep to begin Day 2 correct. Laurie, upon seeing the floors, sits down on them and starts.... What? Oh, no, don't do the splits. Don't do them, do not do them don'tdothem don'tdothemdon'tdothem ARRRRRRRGH! Well, not fairly the splits, but no matter it was, it was neither ladylike nor within my range of comfort. Fortunately, the marble fireplace isn't massive sufficient for her to sprawl on. Doug finds his expenses looking at some electronics and the instruction manuals of mentioned electronics. John claims there is not any English directions, only French. You realize he simply burned the English ones so he would not get stuck having to learn them and put the stuff collectively. Jester romances: Now that Doug's military has apparently left and is wantonly redecorating the countryside, I'd wish to entertain you with a little bit of purple prose. She, with gentle and adoring contact, caressed her one true love. She recited her love's virtues in detail, for all to listen to. She took this symbol of perfection into her arms and proclaimed with a breathy voice that "This, that is drapery." Yep, Laurie's drapes have arrived. And that i defy anybody to put in writing a extra accurate description of Laurie's behavior in this scene. Oh, by the way, this scene also introduces Greg, the second of Laurie's fabric wranglers - compared to Doug's, say, none - one she probably had in an outsourced dungeon. As her newest (and solely second, not counting the flooring labor) indentured slave hangs the drapes, Laurie lays some carpet, customized lower by a agency in her adopted residence town. It seems faintly like a large Tetris piece. Doug's timing is means off. Maybe he needs a brand new belt. Doug is definitely looking for Barbie and John's okay for one thing. Seems that he doesn't just like the tile on the fireplace and would like to put some marble up. Considering that he inpergonated the tile flooring in opposition to the homeowner's previous wishes, I don't think he ought to begin searching for permissions at this late stage. Nice legs. Amy Wynn's engaged on the desk legs. Paige has turned traitor and is saying staining the table will not be so bad. Perhaps General Doug threatened to have her shot... ... and possibly with the nail gun he is utilizing to nail the wainscoting onto the wall. We love Greg. We would like to give Greg a medal. As Laurie's giving one among her trademark Speeches About Things She Doesn't Know Much About, she says "The pleat up high - he did the pinched pleat because...." Greg interrupts her. "Gathered." Laurie responds with a sideways glance and a terse "Thank you." before persevering with her lecture on how the drapes have gathered pleats to make them contemporary and informal. She ends with, "So these are real relaxed" - abruptly she hastens her speech - "Italian-silk-drapery-that-cost-six-thousand-dollars!" She additionally twitches like she's combating a need to do the Funky Chicken. Simply because he does not remember it doesn't suggest he won't miss it! Doug, Paige, and Barbie sit on the ground and begin unwrapping the assorted kitcheny accouterments Doug bought. So many he is lost monitor of what he purchased. Paige, perhaps nonetheless a little bit mentally fried after only 3 hours of sleep, starts playing with some contraption that looks like wood spoons tied together at their center. Not garnering enough attention with this, she grabs a bowl and inverts it, not noticing that there was one thing inside. The web effect of that is that she dumps one tissue-coated and presumably-fragile object onto one other possibly-fragile object. Doug has the horror-adopted-by-a-brief-tempered-scolding response you'd count on of someone in his sneakers. Then Barbie pipes up and says, in a tone I have not heard since my final encounter with an elementary college tattle-tale, "She's just making an attempt to get you over price range. She's gonna break it!" Ladies and gentlemen, we now have the hat trick. First Amy Wynn with the noticed, then Doug with the sewing machine, now Paige with the equipment. She has put in a stable attempt at ticking all three of them off. As it was, the dropped object was simply wood bowls and nothing else seemed damaged. Only a bit more fabric... Laurie's obtained Tina and James working on reupholstering kitchen-kind chairs. She tries to freak Tina by acting like Tina staple-gunned her finger. Wait 'til you get again to your home and see the drapes. You'll have an embolism! Doug shows the difference between a $1,500 excessive-finish lamp that he acquired from somebody in the same constructing as his artwork studio and a $sixty five thrift-store purchase. Not much, the best way he's talking. I guess he would not want to purchase from that person once more.... Barbie gasps at the $1,500 value tag. Paige and Barbie favor the costly one. Just on the coloration, I have to agree. Though $1,435 looks like a big markup just for the distinction between icky mustard yellow and sky blue. Oh, and do not forget the expensive one's teardrop higher half, in comparison with the opposite one's cylindrical higher half. And the jangly things. Doug has kept no less than certainly one of his legion for the second day: The artisan named Ron who's painting some plasterish fashionable-art thingy on the wall. Flee from the market: Laurie shows off her mass of equipment. Tina says it looks like a flea market. Laurie says it is far costlier than a flea market. Yeah, but it surely still looks like a flea market. Laurie: A $100 tchotchke continues to be a tchotchke. As if in response to this, she whips out a nineteenth century sunburst Italian mirror. Tina asks how previous it's. Laurie as an alternative tells Tina when she thinks it was made. "It's most likely late, late 1800s. Like 1890, probably flip-of-the-century." Excuse me, but if it was turn-of-the-century wouldn't it's a 20th century sunburst Italian mirror? James, as he's carried out all episode, notably with the chairs, allows Laurie her big second: He asks the price. About $1800. Man, she likes that quantity. Dates, costs, if it's not within the 1800 range it isn't worth it. The inclusion of fabric, in fact, requires an incidental 500% markup. You've never requested for one earlier than, why start now? Doug decides, as soon as the countertop is in, to take the unprecedented move of asking someone (particularly, Barbie) for an opinion. She does not prefer it. Surprise! Though, for as soon as, I agree with Barbie fully. A sample (marble, granite, etc.) would look better than solid white. Doug, performing another marvel in a day already full of wonders, explains his reasoning: "To ensure that me to put a high quality countertop in here and not go along with a laminate, the one thing out there is Corian Glacier White." So, was this a value challenge, a listing situation, what? "Give it a chance, as a result of what's going to happen is, by the belongings you placed on the countertops and accessorizing it, and we throw in pops of colour, it's all gonna work. And, and, it is gonna... we'll put some life into this place, okay? I feel in the long run you're gonna like it." I translated that as saying "It might be a pig, but we haven't put the lipstick on it but." Whatever you put on it, it's nonetheless gonna be a stark white countertop. You can't bury it all! Geometry for rank beginners: Ty strikes bits of the cocktail desk round semi-purposelessly as Laurie appears to be like on. Ty seems to be going for a cube. No spanking, so we'll pop some bubble paper. Paige, cruelly snuffing out bubble paper bubbles, declares that the time has come for Tina and James to start the elusive Paige Gift hunt. Tina and James wish to get an entire home entertainment library. Paige appears unimpressed. Tina wins the onscreen coin toss and can be off on the hunt. Damn, no cheap sex jokes this time. Happiness is a warm gun. Give one to Doug. No, wait, give it to ME! The place that Amy Wynn took her magnum opus, the mahogany table, to be sanded, took over 3/eight of an inch - nearly A HALF AN INCH - off the desk, so now the nails that she punched into the bottom of the desk are displaying by way of the top. Doug desires names and addresses of the perpetrators. No less than, till Amy Wynn factors out that she must faucet in all of the nails, leaving an ugly pattern. After that, Doug simply says they won't see it after he stains it. Yeah, besides there's nonetheless a bunch of nails sticking out the bottom of the table! I want Doug's title and deal with, then. Oh, wait, I have his title. Also, because abusing the mahogany with stain wasn't dangerous sufficient, he has to rush-job it and stain the maple together with the mahogany, one thing Amy Wynn can't guess at the result of. Doug admits that he would not know both. Amy Wynn looks about as ticked off as I would be if I spent two days on one thing and had somebody come along and wish to screw around with it in methods even HE would not understand. How many butchers did it's important to kill for that, then? Members of Doug's military are rubbing butcher's wax on the partitions for causes I fail to know. Speed up! Speed up! Make pizza out of the cameraman! The limo from the purchasing journey yesterday artfully stops in entrance of a cameraman who's busy catching Tina's first glimpse of the limo. Yo, yo, yo! Ty 'State' Pennington is in tha hizzy! Word! The pre-business bumper is Ty, confirming my suspicions, in full purple and leopard-print gear, including the bling-bling ring and phat necklace from yesterday. He seems like an additional from Pimps at Sea. Speaking of whoring.... Sony Vega ad number three, not counting in-present product placement. Rewind time: What? An advert for the hundred grand present? I'm WATCHING IT! Oh, it's the encore. I idly observe that that they had a black limo within the advert, and a white one in-show. I'm also reminded of what a complete goddess Amy Wynn is when she's not dressed in butch carpenter gear. Now, we have to see about not dressed, period. Awwwww. Tina will get all choked up in regards to the wonder of all that's occurred. Gun! I want the freaking gun! Doug, with Barbie at his facet because Amy Wynn's most likely within the fetal place somewhere, is just not happy with the "skilled" sanding on the desk. The staining has made apparent what seems to be like abrasion traces from the sanding. But, in contrast to Doug, I'm additionally sad with the staining: It appears like someone took a flamethrower to the table. (Meanwhile, Ty's masterworks, the nice-wanting shelves and fireplace mantle, are being installed.) Doug decides to get the stain off the maple, then tape the maple up LIKE HE Should HAVE Done IN The primary PLACE, restain any unstained mahogany, then oil-rub the whole desk. Doug: I hope Birnam Wood marches to your own home and kicks your ass! Ewwwww. Tina sets Paige up for catastrophe by using this logic: $A thousand divided by $20/CD or DVD = 500 items. First off, no one in the identical universe as the RIAA pays that little for a CD newer than 1995 vintage. DVD's ain't low cost either. Second, taxes. Finally, $1000/$20 = 50. Looks like Paige is gonna be the one being advised she's gone overbudget for a change. As they stand on the checkout, Paige (the sunshine happening) imparts this final little bit of wisdom on Tina. Paige has a future profession in authorities budget balancing. Tina asks the cashier if they will start over. The cashier says sure. The cashier is being paid to say yes. Tina says, cryptically, "Only favorites!" So that you had been going to buy motion pictures that your neighbors hated...? Hey, it pays better than 'housewife': As the shelves go up and Laurie plans the tchotchke invasion, she asks Ty how they will ever return to their actual jobs. She hastily adds "of Trading Spaces". Ty says "Oh! I thought you meant upkeep." This can be a nice way of firing somebody. "It is the neatest thing you've ever finished. Oh, by the best way, choose up two weeks' pay and clear out your locker. Security will escort you out." Woah. Doppelganger moment. Paige speaks to the limo driver briefly, giving him a few seconds on digital camera to brag to the household with. (Looks.) Woah, man, he looks like an older model of this guy I worked with last 12 months! Same hair and every part! HEY BUDDY! You recognize A man NAMED J.C. McLEAN? MarkNathanorJohn MarkNathanorJohn, who's actually Mark, helps put the fridge in. Despite homeowner John doing all the pushing, Doug ignores him to appease the company Gods and proclaim that "The brand new black is orange!" (Orange as in the home Depot shirt colour.) The corporate Gods need to have this one defined to them, for they suppose it is some form of African-American reference. Run Laurie over! Run a production assistant over! For God's sake, RUN Someone OVER! Paige and Tina get back, still riding in the limo, as Laurie and James look on. Whereas Laurie's normally wailing whereas Paige talks of finances overruns, now that the shoe's on the other foot... ... Laurie's nonetheless wailing (about time constraints) and Paige remains to be talking about price range overruns. Some issues never change. Maybe we may get collectively on weekends and you could possibly take orders...? Guys? Guys? General Doug's military lastly disbands. Doug makes some cryptic comments about the marble for the fireplace. It's common because it is bigger than the universe. Laurie and Paige put a giant painting on the mantle. "It's kind of a common painting, 'cause it's a landscape, but but it is acquired an summary(?) quality...." I believe it overwhelms the fireplace. Paige uses the phrase "Kick it up a notch." Emeril's gonna kick your ass, Paige. BAM! General Doug and his final two soldiers are holed up in a tent in Plymouth.... Doug says it's playtime! Whee! Time to maneuver the furnishings in! What? Doug's acquired one kinky idea of enjoyable. Holy Hell, she stated "Heck"! Laurie discusses missing marble (Oy vey.) and says she is aware of she didn't put it in her automobile because it's "heavy as heck". This deserves its personal merchandise. Well, no, but I thought of this subsequent headline and couldn't pass it up: You lost them a very long time ago, honey. Oh, it is singular. Never mind. After some pretty muted agonizing (for Laurie) about her lost marble, Ty comes alongside and reads his strains admirably, 'unintentionally' implicating Doug in naughtiness. Paige asks if Laurie's being arrange. Laurie says no. Obviously not, since we've tripped past the land of in all probability-scripted into oh-boy-is-this-pretend. Laurie goes on the hunt for Doug. Doug is outside hiding a tile cutter and tossing marble away from stated cutter. Laurie sneaks up behind him - he should borrow some of Ty's magic early warning system mojo - and confronts him. Essentially the most memorable half being when Laurie says "You can run, darling, however you can't conceal!" That's not memorable, what's memorable is that Doug is bobbing up and down (hiding tile) and yet she appears to maintain her eyes locked on where Doug's head could be if he weren't bobbing. Is the cue card man over there or one thing? The Realm of The Archon vs. The Land of Laurie: The bloody battle for supremacy continues. James, unable to play sounding board for Laurie's value-tallying ways, pronounces that the lamp shades Laurie bought are ninety bucks a pop. Tina says "Well, James, we're living within the Land of Laurie and that is chump change." Best quote all episode. Laurie slips Doug the tongue: That'll keep you reading. Well, really, she grabs his face, sticks out her tongue, and makes a raspberry noise. Apt punishment for stealing marble tile, to make sure. But given the amount of saliva that may throw, I feel it is close enough to depend as an intimate gesture. Paige, after all, comes alongside and deflates Laurie's balloon by mentioning the electrician thing. Laurie and Paige run away laughing. Doug is left alone, confused and angry. When will the hurting stop, Paige? But that scene was nice entertainment. In comparison with the Ty/Amy Wynn battle, anyway. Watching Doug nonchalantly toss marble round was a deep and profound experience of top of the range that the individuals of the world needs to be forced to see for their own benefit. Quickies: Memorable moments from the ultimate assembly montage: 1) Ty and James hook up the Tv, DVD, etc. Except they don't use any cables. They by no means use any cables on shows like these. 2) Laurie putting the Italian drapes, mirror, and chair all in one handy place for unity. That, and so Marmaduke can ruin them all with one badly-aimed leap. Munchies! Ty, ever the gent- oh, used that line earlier than. Ty makes to bust open a bag of chips all over Laurie's springfall-contemporary room, all while scuffing the espresso table together with his footwear. Doug, alternatively, lastly hangs the huge lampshade he purchased at the top of the episode. Paige broadcasts that point's up while roaming around alone at midnight with a flashlight. I assume Laurie received her back for that golf cart incident. And if not, I want to discover a option to blame Laurie anyway. The before and afters make one thing apparent: The rooms swapped colors. The kitchen that was heavy on yellows and different shiny colors is now blue-grey. The blue-gray residing room is now yellow. Chestertown Buff, sorry. Repeated jokes and previous puns: Ah, the pre-industrial bumper the place Doug's got Laurie slung over his shoulder. If you are expecting some joke about Doug having Laurie throughout him, then you're going to be upset. Not because I'm above that, I just couldn't assume of 1 to trump the tongue joke. But is Laurie sporting something below her shirt or is that her unnaturally pale back I'm seeing where her shirt rides up? Chit-chat time: I'll inform you, after two hours of Laurie in that one outfit, the pink sleeveless quantity she has on for the chat is a welcome change. Man, and I believed I used to be pale. Incidentally, Ty's cocktail table is neat. A bit busy for the room, however neat. Oh, and the price of the fabric for the curtains? $One hundred twenty per yard. I knew she'd beat Doug. Only technique to trump silk is to grab an imported bolt of Italian fabric. Final funds: $49,300. That misplaced $700 pains Ms. Smith vastly. My opinion on the room? Laurie customary, only more fabric-obnoxious. Cluttered. Pieces are, for probably the most part, good individually, however the room cannot handle 'em all. The flowers that vanish proper at the top of the stop-movement room redo is a nice contact, too. Reveal? Big deal: Did Barbie look not-terribly-amazed when she first opened her eyes? What part of the room was she taking a look at? John notices the Tv. He's attempting to redeem himself, good boy. Paige takes the opening to explain that Sony donated the Tv and related rigging - it wasn't a part of the funds. Sure as hell hope they donated the wires too. Overall response: Amazed. Laurie and Ty hid in the kitchen and watched the reveal. Their opinion? Laurie thinks they liked it. Ty's more pragmatic: "Who would not?" I think he means the cash quantity spent, not the design itself. However the assertion's ambiguous sufficient that I give him factors for rare diplomacy. Oh, damn, I can not hate him now. Ty's feedback to Laurie at the top, throughout her hand-clasping "I'd do that room time and again; I wouldn't change a thing." gesturama, have been great. He asks, "You would not lower down on just a few of the knickknacks?" That and his sarcastic touch upon how the room needed "another piece of furnishings" redeemed him. He's again in my good graces, but if it was between him and Amy Wynn, I'd still assist her chopping his head off. Hate transference: However.... Judging by her "it will not fit" response to the "one more piece of furniture" remark, Laurie did not discover Ty was being sarcastic. His simple "Oh, I do know that." was amazingly diplomatic, extra so than my "He's being sarcastic, you brainless mass of Italian-fabric-draped ego!" or one thing to that impact. Let's see what he's cookin' up tonight. Today. Excellent. The kitchen's good, except for the countertop. Say what you'll, the white cupboards plus the white countertop and the halogen lights is just a lot. Something needs to be gray, or one thing rather less shiny and stark. Even white with some sample. I just realized that they moved the stove. Man, that's gonna be a tough room for the homeowners to cook in for a while. Oh, and will the silk drapes survive that close to the cooking area? And whereas with regards to drapes, I'd like to put in a vote towards drapes that drag on the ground like this. You cannot make a drape that drags look good! The desk still has shades of flamethrower abuse, although some magic has converted it from godawful to tolerable. Four chairs, no couch. None of them pointing at the Tv, which is high over the fireplace and also you'd have to crane your neck to watch it. Or lie down, which you cannot, as a result of there's no couch! Smooth move, Doug. Just had to get one of those "aesthetic" unusability tricks in there. Paige nails it when she says the flatscreen "Looks like artwork up there!" Translation: You did not need to get artwork, and you didn't know the place to place the Tv, so that you killed two birds with one stone. Final funds: $50,000 less $28. That's impressive. It would be much more impressive if he'd purchased a painting for the fireplace and caught the Tv somewhere else. Like the place that "artisan" pal of Doug's was working. Two days and all he did artwork-smart was three rectangles of paint? What the hell am I missing here? The living room of the kitchen/residing/dining room combo is a bit cramped, which makes me think that Doug does two-and-a-half rooms for Laurie's one. Reveal? Bigger deal: They just like the room. A lot, it seems. Tina notices the kitchen's change in ground plan immediately. Paige would not appear to (or want to) decide up on it and simply keeps speaking about the brand new stuff. Doug and Amy Wynn like the warm glow of giant quantities of money and Real Wood. Final verdict: I'm not fond of either one, however largely for usability issues. Though I wasn't fond of them before, they not less than looked such as you wouldn't come out of them with neck cramps. We'll say okay job because of the low incidence of fatal screwups. Well.... I do hope you loved these ten thousand plus words, but for those who didn't, a minimum of take consolation in my wonder at your reading the entire thing. Goodnight! Beat a hasty retreat to the principle page.
