A part of the opening is Laurie and Doug giving decorating recommendation to a spankingporn.vip while-shifted Pilgrims. Fortunately, the Pilgrims are solely actors, as a result of real Pilgrims would most likely have the decorating duo in the pillory with their ears nailed to the wooden. Laurie's violating costume codes (circa 1620) and Doug is, let's be trustworthy right here, Doug. If they didn't discover one thing to hate after one or two episodes they wouldn't be making an attempt hard sufficient. That is followed by a shot of Amy Wynn and another Pilgrim sawing a log with a two-person saw whereas Ty tries to look busy. Ty suggests a cordless noticed. Well, that's sort of what it's already. The trenches: The room Doug will likely be abusing is a kitchen/dining-room/living-room combo. Which is, to my eyes, gaudy and cramped. And these items is new? Cripes. Homeowners: Tina and James. Laurie's sufferer room is a long but not terrible-wanting living room. Its primary problem is that it seems to be, nicely, actually really lived-in. But I'm being polite. I don't like it much, both. Homeowners: John and Barbie. (A blonde named Barbie. They're all blondes, aren't they?) They also have dogs, so Barbie does not want anything "too fancy", as a result of she has animals. You bought Laurie in there, you already know that? I'd drive this automotive into a wall if it weren't for the other people on the highway! Ah, Laurie and Doug go buying. Laurie, being the wonderful individual she is, is backseat driving, saying she knows easy methods to get to Beacon Hill. She follows this up by proclaiming to the first set of ears she sees (an antiques supplier) that Doug's driving will not be as much as par. She additionally gets the vapours (not less than, that is what it looked like) when telling the supplier that she's responsible for half a hundred grand in money. Antique vendor immediately tries to sell her all the pieces in arm's reach. He knows his prospects, that is for positive. You've watched this show earlier than... proper? Ah, one of the homeowners has already mentioned that she needs to keep her beloved ground. And already I hear both carpenters speaking about their Designing Overlords changing the floor. It's already shaping as much as be a regular day on the races. Decadent: Within the technique of moral 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 carry me accountable!" for what she does. (Calls up a screencap of the homeowners.) Yep, it is simply a daily day on the races, all proper. Ads with out the commercials: Only Ty, Amy Wynn, and a camera crew might stroll into a home Depot and get assist instantly. Ty, ever the gentleman, asks to be helped find the bathroom. Ty-dor the Burninator: Ty (who, driving a toy automotive in one other scene, spun out) supposedly blocked the fireplace lane of the home Depot he went to. Math time: if the wood he's looking at (and wincing about the price) is $529 per sq. foot, and there's about a hundred sq. toes in the store, how much will the lawsuit for simply that lumber be if the place burns down? Ad executives. They execute adverts. Through the commercial, we see Sony Vega ad number one. Do not forget that. The Perkinator: Paige explains the foundations, 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 "full of it". Should you imply filled with perkiness, you're proper. 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 need Laurie useless - against the needs of a few audience members, one would suppose - as a result of she continues her litany of "Stop it!" in between different, extra significant, phrases. Laurie also claims she's shaking, and she holds out her hand and shakes it to show it. (Holds out hand and shakes it.) Damn, so am I. Hard to sort with one hand, although. Gender mirrors: Both male homeowners seemed reluctant to hitch their wives in the massive Excited Designer Hug. Don't they make sauce? Product placement alert: Doug's placing in Pergo floors. Crooooooooooooooowbar! Tina and James try 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 aspect wished to see them use a crowbar, however they didn't, I assume as a result of it is, you realize, a bigass expensive Tv. Damn, the destruction quotient might be surprisingly low this episode. Meanwhile, Doug unloaded some new cabinets. Woo! They'll destroy the old cabinets! No one can use old cabinets! Woo! Grrr! Hulk angry! Hulk run fingers though hair and sigh and say Hulk is confused! Laurie will, she claims, have a significant hissy fit if the carpet is glued. It isn't, so we're saved a tune and dance, and as an alternative subjected to a song and dance about putting down maple floors. She's shaking her palms once more too, however with each hands. (Tries it.) TYPUNG WITGH Nose HARDF.L. Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrybar! Mark, Nathan, and John. No, they are not apostles, they're Doug's staff of pleasant Home Depot Product Placement At-Home Services helpers. Wow, between the extendible pointer stick he is been using to level at issues, the identify "Operation Sophistication", and his military of builders, he's going to be carrying a normal's outfit for the designer chat at the end of the episode. They've also bought a pry bar! MANLY DESTRUCTION TIME! Airhead vs. Gasbox: Laurie (to her huge and abyssal disappointment) cannot change the gasbox fireplace, as it might take too long. Given the shoddy-work horror stories you hear from some former Trading Spaces victims homeowners, I ponder at replacing 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 struggle for the router bit tool drawer' gags have been humorous, but they quickly got severely creepy. I do not even need to know what the hell's happening with these boxer-brief-like abominations Ty whipped out - Is that a thing to make it look like your ass is hanging out? - however I'd like to have words 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 next Trading Spaces spinoff might be Trading Spaces: Highlander. You know, Amy Wynn's walking down a darkish alley, then there's that bizarre sound as Ty steps out of the shadows, they have a flashback to this scene, then they pull out swords and try 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 are, born to be kings.... Well, I guess this Amy Wynn vs. Ty arm wrestling is as shut as I will get to an epic battle at the tip of which there could be just one. Paige breaking it up is hardly epic, as properly. Spank me, I've been a nasty dangerous boy.... Paige took to slapping guys on the ass this episode. First was Ty (although she missed and received him closer to the kidney) when he made a remaining play for Amy Wynn's tool drawer. It should have been spontaneous, else I'm positive Ty's scriptwriter (he should have one, no mannequin-turned-carpenter could think up this much dialogue) would have put in some low-cost-shot comment about enjoying the spanking. Her second sufferer 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 appeared to take it as encouragement, as I heard an off-digicam "Woo-hoo!" only a few seconds after the slap. I presume the delay was John rapidly checking to verify that Paige, not Doug, had slapped him. I'm so disappointed I need to bust up one thing! They did not bust up the cabinets. Paige is as disenchanted as I am. Seems that John, not content with getting his dwelling done as he works right 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 inner pimp: Not less than, that is what it appears like as he gives her his pimp-flavah massive "$$$" ring and matching greenback-sign neck weight throughout their discussion of the new mantle for the fireplace. "Yeah, simply cover your wedding ceremony ring with that." Evidently he isn't trying to make her appear to be a single madam as a lot as externalizing her need to spend and spend and spend. Well, he is heading in the right direction then. I simply didn't notice that Laurie's inside desires appeared so very like a homey wit' bling-bling. There's acquired to be therapy for that. Evidently, the bling-bribe was enough to clean Laurie's thoughts of good ideas: Ty will get to design the entertainment middle. It cantilevers. Sounds interesting. Though, if a new viewer tuned in whereas he was describing it in detail and how it will tie into the room, they'd be questioning why the designer's sporting a device belt and who the lady in the gaudy jewelry is. Oh captain my captain: Doug's acquired a conflict room arrange. I inform ya, he will be Four-Star General Doug before that is over. Oh my God, he is obtained a wall-sized chart. And Paige is asking it good. For Hastur's sake, don't encourage him! He's additionally summoned Mark, an electrician, from the misty deep. His army is expanding with every passing minute; before long no mortal will have the ability to stop his reign. The electrician goes to put in lights (recessed fixtures) around the fireplace. Wait a minute, that is Mark the electrician, John the homeowner, and Mark, Nathan, and John the unrelated three-man Home Depot collective. Man, this goes to get complicated. No, it's not yellow. It is a darkish light off-off-yellow. Laurie first appears to be admitting to the fact that her paint palette is, effectively, limited. "You already know, I try to idiot everyone, and it's like... naaaah." Yellow. It's going to be yellow. "I do not see this colour as boring. It's a wonderful wealthy color and I'm using the wrong device to attempt get the can top off with...." No, you are utilizing the appropriate device flawed. I can see the lid transferring virtually an inch off the can on the far side. Because the paint stirrer she's utilizing is simply going to get covered in paint anyway, she should just stick it within the can at the boundary between the open a part of the lid and the caught half, and twist. As she reveals the paint - which is yellow - she fires the primary salvo in her regular battle over the precise colour. "I realize it seems to be extra yellow there" - That's as a result of it's yellow! - "nevertheless it dries a extremely sort of earthen...." An earthen yellow possibly? James appears to have seen the show earlier than, as he mumbles something that appears like "It dries...." like he's going to say "It dries yellow." but trails off. Laurie, undaunted by my muttered insults and James's nebulous feedback, continues. "It's referred to as 'Chestertown Buff'." Sounds like a porn star. Our Yellow Du Jour has 37 results in Google, it is so common. 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 pressured to admit it. "And on this blue, it is looking really yellow." No, my expensive, it isn't the blue that's making it yellow, it is the yellow that's making it yellow. Tina tries to be consoling and compromising. I don't suppose she's seen a lot of this show before, then. She says "I believe Barbie wished yellow. I imply, we can say yellow, okay? We can say buff, but it's yellow." But Laurie's not achieved yet, no sir. After closing her eyes (to avoid the damning yellow evidence, I presume) and tensing up like she's just stepped into one thing disgusting, she says "No, but it is not yellow! Eeeee!* Let me go get the swatch; this is gonna drive me crazy, it's not 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 completed!" A bad, but not scary, eeee.) Tina, getting sick of Laurie's avoidance of the painting (and the writing) on the wall, factors at the yellow and says "Laurie, yellow." as if she was introducing them to one another. I'm thinking they're going to need 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 teams to do inventive work for all his high end shoppers. I'm certain that will put Barbie at ease, as soon as she goes home and learns that Laurie hasn't employed anybody to date and is burning time arguing about yellow. Speaking of which.... And one other one of these too.... For every employed hand Doug summons, Laurie has an insistence that it isn't frickin' yellow. (Not that she'd ever use such words herself, no....) Paige has appeared to echo Laurie's sentiment that it that it needs two coats. However, Paige says they need it just to ensure it is actually, shock surprise, yellow. I wonder on the fantastic precision with which Laurie reaches the end of the sentence "It's Chestertown Buff, it's not..." just 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 is not, it is 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 can by no means quite tell if he is insulting or just tactless. I do hope her one-12 months-old son Gibson is watching, he'll learn some great ideas for being a brat just by watching Mommy! Then we'll see a toddler strong sufficient to hoist his mom with her personal petard. Ahhh! Prison of love flashback! No, it is not quite brown-grey sufficient, but Ron explains they'll be placing a blue-grey plasterish/paintish product on the walls, which can then be speckled with the same stuff to make a textured wall. Doug does the first coat (using a roller), then Barbie does the speckling (utilizing a brush). The speckling seems to be nice. Paige fault: Laurie seems to have conveniently forgotten that $one thousand of her price range (she thankfully has $1500 left, I used to be so nervous) goes to Paige, to take a homeowner searching for the "Paige Gift", an item of the homeowner's alternative that the designer could have to make use of within the room. My suggestion to Tina and James: $One thousand of vivid green paint, or one in every of the other colors Laurie can't use as a major level of her designs. Oh, and a can of inventory-commonplace yellow, just for comparison purposes. Laurie, feeling the money slipping out of her fingers, bites her finger in considered how you can spend her final $500 before Paige grabs it. Apparently, Paige already has some concepts about the place to take the homeowners shopping. She says it's to Laurie's liking. Laurie ain't buying it. Where's the purple-hot 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 number two. Keep in mind that. Oh, and would not the ditty in the background of the "E-Bay bidding" Earthlink advert sound just like the Moon Patrol theme? The Howling: Tina and James discuss how fortunate their neighbors are to be scoring all-new furniture. (And your old cabinets, sister.) Tina, however, mentions that they have a big ol' "Marmaduke" canine (That's the kind of animals they have?) that was allowed on the outdated furnishings. Oh, I'm sure that $2,800 chair is going to have excessive resale value when, instead of one thing like Laurie's dainty little hips, it may have a giant mass of slobbering dogflesh parked on it. And do not forget whatever fabric Laurie's bought in mind for this room.... James desires to sink their $one thousand present into a superb gate. Meanwhile, Paige springs her Paige Gift on John and Barbie. I discover she does not stress the "Has to make use of it in the room." factor. Or indeed, even have Doug around. Ty vs. Ty: A shot of Amy Wynn. Something sails in from off-camera and hits her, eliciting an "Ow! That one hurt!". I was sure it was Ty, but as an alternative it's Doug proving he is usually a bastard, too. Doug is getting Amy Wynn to make a desk. The desk of her desires. Dougie boy, the table of her desires is prefab. Though she does caress that wooden really lovingly. Hordes of males watching need to be that wooden. The table will be six by three in mahogany and maple. Amy Wynn guarantees to have the building of it done tonight, so it can be completed up tomorrow - evidently the crew doesn't have the planer needed to deal with the job. Doug's army of teamsters vs. Laurie's seamster: Finally, Laurie's first sign of employed help, Daniel, seems. Or, more 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 proper lingo is for a man". So, what is it for a lady? A stitchress? A stitchrix? A stitchrice? Or might it presumably be a 'stitcher' as nicely? It all sounded like she was stressing that he was a man. He's a man, we may inform, he appears like one, he can sew, big deal, let's transfer on. Tina has been taken into the dungeons so she can iron. Appliances are better than leisure: Doug speaks to the homeowners about their Paige present. They're leaning extra in direction of house entertainment, encompass sound, and so forth. Doug is steering them in direction of kitchen appliances. Did the man not finances for them, or what...? Dougby and Pokey: Doug is still tapping and poking at issues with his little pointer, from Amy Wynn's wood to the cabinets. He's also demanding to be saluted by his Home Depot costs, now. Certainly one of the home Depot people, who I'm calling MarkNathanorJohn, mentions (at Doug's repeated proddings for a sensible ETA on getting the cabinets performed) that it'll be a couple of hours "so long as we haven't any extra interruptions". Doug asks MarkNathanorJohn if he is implying that Doug is an interruption. MarkNathanorJohn denies it, but 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 isn't a headshot of Frank.... Laurie is hiding her face behind a monochrome headshot of Doug (very enticing picture, I must admit, in that noncommittal man method of admitting one other man appears to be like hunky). She's doing this as part of a posh and solely nonscripted subterfuge specializing in stealing Doug's electrician away to do her electrics work. The gag, whereas drained, is not as bad as it sounds because this is all shot through the Paige Cam. Laurie, who normally seems at the least sort of cute, tends to appear to be a fish on the Paige Cam. For many of this Paige Cam second, we will not see her face. Consider all of the unborn nuts that died for this mantle! Ty has busted out a new walnut wooden mantle for Laurie (from a photograph of an analogous mantle). Laurie says that, regardless of the haste, it is the most lovely thing she's ever seen. Well, use good wooden instead of MDF, that occurs. Also, working with the Banyan brand looming over him in all probability reminds him of his evil corporate masters. You don't displease the evil corporate masters, for they're refined and quick to downsize. I, for one, welcome my evil company masters! It's the rattling basic they appointed I have problems with: Amy Wynn speaks to the Paige Cam for a second on how, regardless of solely working on one house, it feels like 4 due to all that's happening. She also fondles the wood once more. Mahogany. I'd fondle it too. Doug appears to have unusual ideas. Doug wants to stain the mahogany black. I know nothing about wooden, however Amy Wynn (getting pressured over the whole affair) seems like she's on the right track when she explains the next: Doug desires the wood darkish, however would not seem to be thinking that finishing it'll darken it to start with. Staining it as well as is simply going to make it appear to be they painted it black. The wood grain can be lost in the blackness. Doug's ears don't appear to be burning red throughout this: He's 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 with none apparent cues that James ought to be there. For his next trick, he gets James to saw a chunk 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 affirm it's an image of a desk: Laurie gasps with such depth on the sketch that, if we could not see it, we might marvel what else Ty's been sketching. Appliances are higher than entertainment redux: So this is the reason Doug does not need his folks spending their $1,000 Paige Gift money on leisure. There is a Sony Vega forty two inch plasma Tv sitting in a trailer exterior. Surround sound, computer that is built-in with the entire mess if Doug is to be believed, the entire shebang. How good's the security on these shoots, and any concept in the event that they're doing another $100,000 episode? John's thought on the bins of costly expertise? "Good thing this is going to James, 'trigger I wouldn't have the ability to determine it out." (Blink. Blink.) Come ON! You're a guy! Tv-related toys and the obtaining thereof are a point of honor for many males! Try to be in your knees praying for one among these things! You sissy! Of course, I wouldn't need one either, I'd fairly a bigass monitor for my 3.06 GHz Pentium field, but I admit my sissiness. And my geekiness. This promo of types was, all in all, a convenient solution to do an in-present Sony Vega plug to match the ones we have seen twice so far in the advert blocks. In unrelated news, apparently John "received the coin toss" (which was additionally off-digital camera... hmm) and goes out with Paige to hunt down the elusive Paige Gift. Barbie is disenchanted that she has to stay dwelling whereas her husband gets to exit with Paige. Good factor she missed the ass-slapping and the "Woo-hoo!" some time back, else she'd be more than simply upset. I also discover that John shouldn't be so nervous about his spouse staying home with Doug and all these burly Home Depot development workers. Oh ye of a lot faith. Add an ad rant: I don't love screaming babies in adverts. But this Stainmaster Carpet one actually will get me: Daddy places his incessantly screaming child on the carpeted floor whereas he grabs a stuffed animal. Baby falls asleep immediately. As they plug the consolation of the carpet, a disclaimer fades in at the underside of the display: "It's endorsed infants not sleep on their stomachs." As somebody watching with me stated: "It is suggested babies not sleep on their stomachs, however this one is not ours so we don't give a rattling." Zoooom! The present roars back with a shot of Ty driving a souped-up golf cart, shouting to female pedestrians*, and passing a van studying "The (Something) of Mark Connolly". (*The sound has been muted for the musical back-from-industrial sting, so I don't know what he says.) Kid in a candy store time: Laurie's so completely happy about one thing that she has each James and a digicam crew in tow as she approaches it. It is a truck. Within the truck is furnishings. And on the furnishings is... fabric! Laurie expresses her love for the fabric, and begins caressing the primary piece seen through the transport plastic. She continues by giving a plug to the furnishings maker and explaining how she selected the fabric for the furniture. (In fact she would not settle for stock upholstering!) She lovingly details, with appropriate closeups, how the yellow in one piece ties in to the yellow of another piece. Question: Why are these two items of furniture lined in pale yellow and yellow/acid green stripes, when the partitions are, by Laurie's insistence, not yellow in any respect? Why are the chairs not Chestertown Buff? Or camel? Or any of one among Laurie's odd paint names? Why? Because she loses herself in the description of the fabric and would not catch herself using the forbidden word.... YELLOW! The costs 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 lost depend) each for two different chairs. Custom fabrics have their worth. Doug abuses the peons and appeases his masters: During Laurie's furnishings lovefest, we lower away for the following bits: 1) Amy Wynn shows her progress on the desk to Doug. They argue in regards to 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 new cabinets and the way he just, as a result of he is a nice guy, knocked collectively a piece of conduit so a ground vent that was ineffective underneath the previous ground 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 sweet. They promise to offer Doug one other slave to push around. 3) Amy Wynn exhibits Barbie tips on how to do mitered edges with a chop noticed. Get moving or I'll plant one other one in your ass! Paige and her slapping pal John are off to blow $1000. And so they're off in a stretch limo. Paige notices that John seems nonchalant concerning the limo and the $one thousand cash Paige is brandishing. After all he's, he's got Paige in the backseat with him and he is subsequently automatically kicked into "suave" mode. I imply, Paige within the backseat of a limo with a number of cameras, what extra might a man need? For the remainder of this purchasing journey, I'm calling John "Spanky". Ty shows 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 by means of a bit of wooden and the machine starts screaming like a banshee with its leg in a bear trap. Amy Wynn has Barbie stop and explains what occurs when you place too much pressure on the handle. Barbie, supposedly wiser for the lesson, then starts up again and the screeching starts once more. Reacting to the "a lot power" screeching, she puts each arms on the handle and begins utilizing twice as much power as earlier than. Now commences Amy Wynn shouting "TURNITOFFTURNITOFFTURNITOFF!" over the blade's unholy rasp. The blade off, she calmly (I don't understand how) says "You've received my saw just a little angry." Well, the saw is perhaps indignant, however I don't think it's the saw that is in all probability seeing visions of twisting this Barbie doll's head until it comes off. Ty packs his wooden and Tina right into a vehicle to go on a quest for heavier hardware facilities. Guy doing gal things: Shh, it is a Best Buy. Shhhh! Paige and Spanky arrive at a Best Buy, a undeniable fact that is barely apparent for those who see the reflected emblem and the occasional in-retailer sign. I'm guessing they didn't pay enough ad dollars. Now, we see Spanky's fantasies about going out with Paige dashed hopelessly in opposition to the rocks of actuality. While she is a girl, and he a man, there's still something separating them: She's a lady, and he's a man. A woman and a man who are purchasing. Paige begins to mull over the relative benefits between a toaster and a toaster-oven, while Spanky simply needs to grab the very first thing that looks like a toaster and go. Paige, being the good hostess, gives in easier than any self-respecting lady ever should. Gal doing guy things: She's out with Ty. Shhhh! While on their subject trip to the Magic Land of Big Routers, Ty - referring to himself within the third particular person - corrects Tina's misconceptions of a excessive-tech router, which he claims is just not so very like a "funky saw" (in Tina's phrases) as it's like the Terminator. Insert your California recall joke here. However, Ty quickly defers to the Keeper of the Router for more advanced info. In this the Keeper fails, mainly regurgitating Ty's words but with extra jargon and fewer motion movie references. Guy doing gal issues, part 2: It is a bust. And cease looking at Paige's! Paige declares the procuring trip "a bust". Now we know Best Buy did not pay a lot. But Spanky has an thought! A Playstation for the children! Imagine enjoying that on the bigscreen Tv! Paige says, "Oh, dude, you're thinking!" What he hasn't considered is that there is going to be a holy conflict over that Tv when the mother and father need to observe cable and the children wish to play Crash Bandicoot. Gal doing man issues, part 2: What-what-WHAT? Ty discusses one thing with Tina over the router noise. It sounds to me like "I feel the goowa bafudgeit! 'Cuz I fava mudgeit! Az az a fantastic factor!" Tina responds with "Take a walk right down to my house subsequent!" I believe Ty's talking about how you can make stunning things 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 help Amy Wynn do some wainscoting work. Doug kisses Amy Wynn to speed up the work. Chris declines the same boon. That's a lovely wainscoat: So, of two pronunciations of 'wainscoting' I present in all of the dictionaries I checked and one I found solely in a number of, they went for the rarer one. Okay, tremendous. I hear "Postal 2" is really good. Let's get that. Ah, the wonders of selecting a recreation to go along with the PS2. After Paige and her pal show their incompetence at playing, Spanky grabs a recreation and says "This looks like a child's recreation." An extremely scientific solution to do it, compared to, say, the ranking. Paige says it seems more like a child's sport than, say, (Paige grabs semirandom title) "this". Some rewinding and fastforwarding later and that i realized it was Everquest! Bwa-ha-ha! A great plug for the Evercrack Elven Princess and her twin Boobs of Fanboy Attraction +5! Paige, blissful about their reasoned alternative of sport, lets out a scream. Little question the opposite prospects, who I'm sure are even now being held in the far aspect of the shop by TLC security goons, have been joyful to hear her whoop of ecstasy. Lil' Miss Eloi visits her pet Morlock: Laurie gasps, both because her basement stitcher has finished the gold table skirts he was doing, or because the Paige whoop within the final scene deafened her. "Oh, it's so nice!" Definitely the skirt, then. Seeing one completed, with yellow-gold topper fabric, elicits an additional half-moaned "Oh, that's lovely." I stated it, there's an orgasmically joyous squeal coming up. Are they carrying seatbelts? With 770 dollars left after shopping for the PS2 - It was only $230 after taxes, with a recreation? - Paige and Spanky discuss their subsequent 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 high-finish appliances... uh, or hello-high-end** things for your own home." He then adds a hastily-mumbled, "We are able to go there." *Paige quietly begins to prompt him earlier than he catches himself. **He offers the PS2 field he's holding a slap to emphasize his point - or his frustration - right here. Poor Spanky, Paige is making you work to your new cabinets. In all fairness, though, Paige's angst-ridden look, supposedly as she was weighing advantages of the 20 minute one-method journey to the house Depot retailer, followed by a determined "STEP ON IT!" to the limo driver, was solely nominally extra authentic and way 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 way of about $5 of the 75-greenback-a-yard silk curtains immediately. 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, tv life is not treating her nicely 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 apprehensive about the silk, why's he drinking right over it? Meanwhile, with the competent feminine homeowner.... Ty, now again at the home, takes a break from the cocktail table of routing wonders to show Tina how his master plan on the shelving system goes. After a lot moaning and groaning, he fits the entertainment center shelving system into place on the long run wall mount. They do not precisely slide as much as they are often yanked out of place and stuck into a barely completely different horizontal position. But hey, higher to have a snug fit than to have all of your CDs fall out of the shelf. He additionally referred to as down the routing magic on the shelving system, to make advantageous horizontal grooves into which CD jewel instances fit. Tina reiterates her want to get Ty in her home. Then he says "Are you crazy? There is not any room for me over there!" Oh, nice. Now Tina knows about the Legions of Doug ravaging the land while she was locked in 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 mistaken place until I noticed the comparatively tiny writing "A house Depot Company" below the title. Between his manly buying technique and his admitted lack of know-how talent, he goes for the blender that, as Paige says, simply has an on and off change. My blender's older than I am and it has more features than that. We now pause for a break from the Spank & Mindy show. Back house, Barbie is indignant (heh heh) that Paige and Spanky are off having enjoyable. Doug turns the screws a bit about the cash, 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 is not a lady now, she's a woman who's purchasing. Whole 'nother being right there. She's about as sexy as a dead fish to an average man proper now. Doug turns the screws a bit extra, invoking the work "perky". Because you know that each screaming tryst is described as "perky". Spanky is doing all of the homework tonight. Bad, unhealthy Spanky. We now end our pause. Paige, displaying her perkiness, attempts to buy a lot of the store earlier than realizing her funds will not hold. She screams a bit too. I hope Barb did not hear that. After the business, and with darkness lurking outdoors the home windows, they arrive home. Doug struggles with the video game title "Jak and Daxter", renaming it "Jak and Dax. Ter." Barb hopes they've more than that. Paige: "After all We have now More than THAT!" I was hoping she'd say they blew all of it on champagne, a hot tub, and some strippers. But it's a family present. Not that Paige dresses all that much heavier than the Everquest babe. (Though Paige has by no means been chained to an altar, a lot to the dismay of a few of the fanbase.) Doug seems to be anticipating greater than six(ish) boxes. When there isn't, he falls back into diplomat mode and says "Well, that's a lot! Cool-cool-cool-cool." Paige is $68 below price range, by the best way. It's sunny once more! Ty drives out to see Amy Wynn. He makes use of, after all, his super golf cart. He almost goes into the same spin he did with a toy automotive at the top of the episode. Amy Wynn has sufficient religion to not dive for cowl, the idiot. The 2 carpenters commiserate about their workloads and exalt at the true Wood they're utilizing. 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 doesn't belt-sand his face off. It's darkish again? Paige declares the fading daylight, which has began to fade after its temporary stint of being darkish, then light again. The second-shift Home Depot people are putting Doug's floor 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 will likely be painting the ceiling while the home Depot hirelings do the ground. That strikes me as a dance and a half, except everyone learns how one can wall-stroll. Laurie needs her individuals to put in the flooring. Oh, wait, she's just kidding! A 4-person Home Depot crew are doing the ground. In actuality, the homeowners need to 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 is the overall. Except he cannot tell the distinction between residence and Home Depot anymore. Paige says they're each delirious. The legions are in all probability considering relieving him of command. Doug clearly hasn't discovered the trick of mainlining some caffeine crystals. If it doesn't kill you, you may keep up for weeks! Oh, and father mutant youngsters. Paige also makes use of the super golf cart to drive Laurie house, or to no matter temporary domicile is serving the role 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 did not think Paige actually meant that determine of speech actually. Abandoning Laurie in the midst of nowhere with nothing but a digital camera crew, floodlights, and no matter transportation the camera crew's using? How will she ever get dwelling? What a heartless bitch. No-drip paint roller: Barbie and John talk about the painted ceiling. They've religion in Doug, despite the fact that they think it is bizarre to paint a ceiling. Woah, that is saying something. It's saying something else that John's utilizing 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 leisure: Paige, with an umbrella and in different clothes from the day's filming, springs the free Tv/audio system/and many others. factor on James and Tina. Wow, I assume self-confessed tech-illiterate John is getting a fancy-schmancy Tv as nicely. Paige calls Tina "Dude!" however forgets that the Dell Dude and his ilk made that little bit of vernacular gender-impartial. She says "I just known as you both dudes! I am delirious!" Maybe we should relieve her of command. I know this guy named Joe who's got hosting experience. Paige then springs the computer shock as properly. Tina responds with "Cut the s---!" and is sensible sufficient to comprehend that she's going to be getting comparable surprises. James, after Paige leaves, suggests asking for even more stuff, since everything they've considered to date has been included. Ah, wise homeowner wants to milk this for all it's worth. Day 2. Well, Day 1.9999: Doug, in additional informal duds as nicely, will get to lug the still-perky and nonetheless-informally-dressed Paige into the half-finished room (at 2 AM) to check the paint job. He sees spots on the ceiling. I believe he is simply seeing spots, interval. He sends Paige residence for her beauty sleep. Maybe he is seeing spots and thinks she's obtained acne or one thing. Barbie says that Paige doesn't need magnificence sleep. Doug kisses Paige on the cheek. Paige says, dreamily - because she's about to fall asleep - "I really feel more beautiful 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 pleasant hardworking Home Depot individuals (who work all night time on issues for everyone, I'm certain) semi-jokingly decides to take a 5 hour espresso break. His head's in all probability on a pike at Home Depot's corporate HQ proper now. Paige, feeling somewhat useless with the pile of trained professionals round, finally goes house. Her meandering speech makes me think the left side of her brain (or her scriptwriter) has already gone to sleep. Whatever she's taking, I would like some. Paige, inhumanly perky as ever, exhibits up after three hours of sleep to start Day 2 proper. Laurie, upon seeing the floors, sits down on them and begins.... What? Oh, no, don't do the splits. Don't do them, do not do them don'tdothem don'tdothemdon'tdothem ARRRRRRRGH! Well, not quite the splits, but whatever it was, it was neither ladylike nor within my vary of comfort. Fortunately, the marble fireplace isn't giant enough for her to sprawl on. Doug finds his fees taking a look at some electronics and the instruction manuals of mentioned electronics. John claims there isn't any English instructions, only French. You recognize he just burned the English ones so he would not get caught having to read them and put the stuff collectively. Jester romances: Now that Doug's army has apparently left and is wantonly redecorating the countryside, I'd wish to entertain you with a bit of purple prose. She, with gentle and adoring touch, caressed her one true love. She recited her love's virtues in detail, for all to hear. 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 write down a more correct description of Laurie's behavior in this scene. Oh, by the way in which, this scene additionally introduces Greg, the second of Laurie's fabric wranglers - compared to Doug's, say, none - one she in all probability 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, custom reduce by a agency in her adopted house town. It looks faintly like a big Tetris piece. Doug's timing is method off. Maybe he wants a brand new belt. Doug is actually seeking Barbie and John's okay for one thing. Seems that he does not just like the tile on the fireplace and would like to put some marble up. Considering that he inpergonated the tile ground in opposition to the homeowner's previous wishes, I do not suppose he ought to begin seeking permissions at this late stage. Nice legs. Amy Wynn's working on the desk legs. Paige has turned traitor and is saying staining the table won't be so dangerous. Perhaps General Doug threatened to have her shot... ... and possibly with the nail gun he's utilizing to nail the wainscoting onto the wall. We love Greg. We wish to present Greg a medal. As Laurie's giving one in all her trademark Speeches About Things She Doesn't Know Much About, she says "The pleat up high - he did the pinched pleat as a result of...." 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 actual relaxed" - all of the sudden she accelerates her speech - "Italian-silk-drapery-that-cost-six-thousand-dollars!" She additionally twitches like she's fighting a want to do the Funky Chicken. Simply because he doesn't remember it does not imply he won't miss it! Doug, Paige, and Barbie sit on the floor and start unwrapping the assorted kitcheny accouterments Doug bought. So many he is lost observe of what he purchased. Paige, maybe nonetheless somewhat mentally fried after only three hours of sleep, starts playing with some contraption that looks like wood spoons tied together at their middle. Not garnering sufficient attention with this, she grabs a bowl and inverts it, not noticing that there was something inside. The web impact of that is that she dumps one tissue-coated and possibly-fragile object onto one other presumably-fragile object. Doug has the horror-adopted-by-a-short-tempered-scolding reaction you'd anticipate of someone in his footwear. Then Barbie pipes up and says, in a tone I have not heard since my final encounter with an elementary faculty tattle-tale, "She's just making an attempt to get you over finances. She's gonna break it!" Ladies and gentlemen, we now have the hat trick. First Amy Wynn with the saw, then Doug with the sewing machine, now Paige with the equipment. She has put in a stable try at ticking all three of them off. Because it was, the dropped object was simply wood bowls and nothing else appeared damaged. Just a bit more fabric... Laurie's acquired Tina and James engaged on reupholstering kitchen-type chairs. She tries to freak Tina by performing like Tina staple-gunned her finger. Wait 'til you get back to your own home and see the drapes. You'll have an embolism! Doug shows the distinction between a $1,500 high-finish lamp that he received from someone in the same constructing as his art studio and a $65 thrift-store purchase. Not a lot, the way in which he's speaking. I guess he doesn't want to purchase from that individual once more.... Barbie gasps at the $1,500 worth tag. Paige and Barbie prefer the expensive one. Just on the coloration, I should agree. Though $1,435 seems like an enormous markup only for the distinction between icky mustard yellow and sky blue. Oh, and don't forget the costly one's teardrop higher half, in comparison with the other one's cylindrical upper half. And the jangly things. Doug has kept at the least certainly one of his legion for the second day: The artisan named Ron who's painting some plasterish trendy-artwork thingy on the wall. Flee from the market: Laurie shows off her mass of equipment. Tina says it seems to be like a flea market. Laurie says it's far dearer than a flea market. Yeah, nevertheless it nonetheless appears like a flea market. Laurie: A $a hundred tchotchke is still a tchotchke. As if in response to this, she whips out a nineteenth century sunburst Italian mirror. Tina asks how previous it is. Laurie instead tells Tina when she thinks it was made. "It's in all probability late, late 1800s. Like 1890, in all probability flip-of-the-century." Excuse me, but when it was turn-of-the-century would not or not it's a twentieth century sunburst Italian mirror? James, as he is performed all episode, notably with the chairs, permits Laurie her massive moment: He asks the price. About $1800. Man, she likes that number. Dates, prices, if it isn't in the 1800 vary it is not price it. The inclusion of fabric, of course, requires an incidental 500% markup. You've by no means requested for one before, why begin now? Doug decides, as soon as the countertop is in, to take the unprecedented transfer of asking somebody (specifically, Barbie) for an opinion. She doesn't like it. Surprise! Though, for once, I agree with Barbie completely. A sample (marble, granite, etc.) would look better than strong white. Doug, performing one other marvel in a day already filled with wonders, explains his reasoning: "In order for me to put a high quality countertop in right here and not go together with a laminate, the only factor available is Corian Glacier White." So, was this a cost concern, a listing challenge, what? "Give it an opportunity, as a result of what's going to occur is, by the belongings you placed on the countertops and accessorizing it, and we throw in pops of colour, it is all gonna work. And, and, it's gonna... we'll put some life into this place, okay? I believe in the long run you're gonna prefer it." I translated that as saying "It might be a pig, however we haven't put the lipstick on it but." Whatever you put on it, it is nonetheless gonna be a stark white countertop. You can't bury it all! Geometry for rank beginners: Ty moves bits of the cocktail desk around semi-purposelessly as Laurie seems 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 begin the elusive Paige Gift hunt. Tina and James wish to get an entire home leisure library. Paige appears unimpressed. Tina wins the onscreen coin toss and will likely be off on the hunt. Damn, no low cost sex jokes this time. Happiness is a heat 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 3/8 of an inch - nearly A HALF AN INCH - off the desk, so now the nails that she punched into the underside of the desk are displaying via the top. Doug needs names and addresses of the perpetrators. At the least, till Amy Wynn factors out that she needs to tap in all of the nails, leaving an ugly sample. After that, Doug simply says they won't see it after he stains it. Yeah, except there's still a bunch of nails sticking out the bottom of the table! I would like Doug's title and deal with, then. Oh, wait, I have his name. Also, because abusing the mahogany with stain wasn't unhealthy enough, he has to rush-job it and stain the maple together with the mahogany, something Amy Wynn cannot guess at the outcome of. Doug admits that he would not know either. Amy Wynn seems to be about as ticked off as I would be if I spent two days on something and had someone come along and wish to screw round with it in methods even HE doesn't understand. How many butchers did it's important to kill for that, then? Members of Doug's army are rubbing butcher's wax on the walls for reasons I fail to grasp. Speed up! Speed up! Make pizza out of the cameraman! The limo from the procuring trip 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-commercial bumper is Ty, confirming my suspicions, in full purple and leopard-print gear, including the bling-bling ring and phat necklace from yesterday. He appears to be like like an extra from Pimps at Sea. Speaking of whoring.... Sony Vega advert number three, not counting in-show product placement. Rewind time: What? An ad for the hundred grand show? I'm WATCHING IT! Oh, it is the encore. I idly observe that that they had a black limo in the ad, and a white one in-present. I'm also reminded of what a total goddess Amy Wynn is when she's not dressed in butch carpenter gear. Now, we need to see about not dressed, period. Awwwww. Tina gets all choked up about the marvel of all that's happened. Gun! I want the freaking gun! Doug, with Barbie at his aspect because Amy Wynn's in all probability within the fetal place someplace, is just not pleased with the "professional" sanding on the desk. The staining has made obvious what seems like abrasion strains from the sanding. But, not like Doug, I'm additionally unhappy with the staining: It appears to be like like somebody took a flamethrower to the desk. (Meanwhile, Ty's masterworks, the nice-trying shelves and fireplace mantle, are being put in.) Doug decides to get the stain off the maple, then tape the maple up LIKE HE Should HAVE Done IN The first PLACE, restain any unstained mahogany, then oil-rub the whole desk. Doug: I hope Birnam Wood marches to your house and kicks your ass! Ewwwww. Tina units Paige up for catastrophe through the use of this logic: $A thousand divided by $20/CD or DVD = 500 items. First off, nobody in the identical universe because the RIAA pays that little for a CD newer than 1995 vintage. DVD's ain't low-cost both. Second, taxes. Finally, $1000/$20 = 50. Looks like Paige is gonna be the one being instructed she's gone overbudget for a change. As they stand at the checkout, Paige (the light going on) imparts this last bit of wisdom on Tina. Paige has a future career in government price range balancing. Tina asks the cashier if they will begin over. The cashier says yes. The cashier is being paid to say yes. Tina says, cryptically, "Only favorites!" So you had been going to purchase movies that your neighbors hated...? Hey, it pays higher than 'housewife': Because the shelves go up and Laurie plans the tchotchke invasion, she asks Ty how they're going to ever go back to their actual jobs. She hastily provides "of Trading Spaces". Ty says "Oh! I thought you meant upkeep." This could be a pleasant manner of firing someone. "It's the best thing you've ever executed. Oh, by the way in which, choose up two weeks' pay and clear out your locker. Security will escort you out." Woah. Doppelganger second. Paige speaks to the limo driver briefly, giving him a couple of seconds on digital camera to brag to the family with. (Looks.) Woah, man, he appears like an older version of this man I labored with final year! Same hair and every part! HEY BUDDY! You recognize A guy NAMED J.C. McLEAN? MarkNathanorJohn MarkNathanorJohn, who's actually Mark, helps put the fridge in. Despite homeowner John doing all of the pushing, Doug ignores him to appease the corporate Gods and proclaim that "The new black is orange!" (Orange as in the home Depot shirt shade.) The corporate Gods must have this one explained to them, for they think it is some form of African-American reference. Run Laurie over! Run a manufacturing assistant over! For God's sake, RUN Someone OVER! Paige and Tina get back, nonetheless riding in the limo, as Laurie and James look on. Whereas Laurie's often wailing whereas Paige talks of budget overruns, now that the shoe's on the opposite foot... ... Laurie's nonetheless wailing (about time constraints) and Paige remains to be talking about price range overruns. Some things by no means change. Maybe we might get collectively on weekends and you can take orders...? Guys? Guys? General Doug's military lastly disbands. Doug makes some cryptic comments about the marble for the fireplace. It's universal as a result of it's larger than the universe. Laurie and Paige put a large painting on the mantle. "It's form of a common painting, 'trigger it is a panorama, but yet it is got an summary(?) high quality...." I believe it overwhelms the fireplace. Paige makes use of 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 is playtime! Whee! Time to move the furnishings in! What? Doug's received one kinky concept of fun. Holy Hell, she stated "Heck"! Laurie discusses missing marble (Oy vey.) and says she knows she did not put it in her car as a result of it's "heavy as heck". This deserves its personal merchandise. Well, no, however I considered this subsequent headline and couldn't go it up: You misplaced them a long time in the past, honey. Oh, it is singular. Never thoughts. After some pretty muted agonizing (for Laurie) about her misplaced marble, Ty comes along and reads his traces admirably, 'by chance' implicating Doug in naughtiness. Paige asks if Laurie's being arrange. Laurie says no. Obviously not, since we have tripped previous the land of in all probability-scripted into oh-boy-is-this-faux. Laurie goes on the hunt for Doug. Doug is exterior hiding a tile cutter and tossing marble away from mentioned cutter. Laurie sneaks up behind him - he ought to borrow a few of Ty's magic early warning system mojo - and confronts him. Probably the most memorable part being when Laurie says "You possibly can run, darling, but you can't cover!" That's not memorable, what's memorable is that Doug is bobbing up and down (hiding tile) and yet she seems to keep 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, announces that the lamp shades Laurie bought are ninety bucks a pop. Tina says "Well, James, we're living in the Land of Laurie and that's chump change." Best quote all episode. Laurie slips Doug the tongue: That'll keep you reading. Well, actually, she grabs his face, sticks out her tongue, and makes a raspberry noise. Apt punishment for stealing marble tile, to make certain. But given the quantity of saliva that may throw, I think it's close enough to depend as an intimate gesture. Paige, after all, comes along and deflates Laurie's balloon by mentioning the electrician thing. Laurie and Paige run away laughing. Doug is left alone, confused and offended. When will the hurting cease, Paige? But that scene was great leisure. In comparison with the Ty/Amy Wynn battle, anyway. Watching Doug nonchalantly toss marble around was a deep and profound experience of top of the range that the folks of the world must be forced to see for their very own benefit. Quickies: Memorable moments from the ultimate meeting montage: 1) Ty and James hook up the Tv, DVD, etc. Except they do not use any cables. They never use any cables on reveals like these. 2) Laurie putting the Italian drapes, mirror, and chair all in one convenient place for unity. That, and so Marmaduke can ruin all of them with one badly-aimed leap. Munchies! Ty, ever the gent- oh, used that line before. Ty makes to bust open a bag of chips all over Laurie's springfall-fresh room, all while scuffing the coffee desk along with his sneakers. Doug, alternatively, lastly hangs the massive lampshade he purchased at the top of the episode. Paige publicizes that point's up whereas roaming around alone at nighttime with a flashlight. I guess Laurie got her again for that golf cart incident. And if not, I wish to find a option to blame Laurie anyway. The before and afters make one factor obvious: The rooms swapped colours. The kitchen that was once heavy on yellows and other shiny colors is now blue-gray. The blue-gray dwelling room is now yellow. Chestertown Buff, sorry. Repeated jokes and previous puns: Ah, the pre-business bumper where Doug's got Laurie slung over his shoulder. If you are expecting some joke about Doug having Laurie all over him, then you are going to be upset. Not as a result of I'm above that, I just could not assume of one to trump the tongue joke. But is Laurie sporting one thing under her shirt or is that her unnaturally pale back I'm seeing the place her shirt rides up? Chit-chat time: I'll tell you, after two hours of Laurie in that one outfit, the purple sleeveless number she has on for the chat is a welcome change. Man, and I believed I was pale. Incidentally, Ty's cocktail desk is neat. A bit busy for the room, however neat. Oh, and the value of the fabric for the curtains? $A hundred and twenty per yard. I knew she'd beat Doug. Only method to trump silk is to seize an imported bolt of Italian fabric. Final budget: $49,300. That lost $700 pains Ms. Smith enormously. My opinion on the room? Laurie commonplace, solely more fabric-obnoxious. Cluttered. Pieces are, for essentially the most half, nice individually, but the room cannot handle 'em all. The flowers that vanish right at the end of the stop-motion room redo is a pleasant contact, too. Reveal? Big deal: Did Barbie look not-terribly-amazed when she first opened her eyes? What part of the room was she looking at? John notices the Tv. He's making an attempt to redeem himself, good boy. Paige takes the opening to explain that Sony donated the Tv and associated rigging - it wasn't part of the budget. 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 beloved it. Ty's more pragmatic: "Who wouldn't?" I believe he means the cash quantity spent, not the design itself. However the statement's ambiguous enough that I give him points for rare diplomacy. Oh, rattling, I am unable to hate him now. Ty's comments to Laurie at the top, during her hand-clasping "I'd do this room over and over again; I wouldn't change a thing." gesturama, had been wonderful. He asks, "You wouldn't reduce down on a few of the knickknacks?" That and his sarcastic comment on how the room needed "one more piece of furnishings" redeemed him. He's back in my good graces, but if it was between him and Amy Wynn, I'd nonetheless support her chopping his head off. Hate transference: Then again.... Judging by her "it won't match" response to the "another piece of furniture" comment, Laurie didn't notice 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 effect. Let's see what he's cookin' up tonight. Today. Good. The kitchen's nice, aside from the countertop. Say what you'll, the white cupboards plus the white countertop and the halogen lights is simply a lot. Something must be gray, or something a little less bright and stark. Even white with some pattern. I simply realized that they moved the stove. Man, that is gonna be a hard room for the homeowners to cook in for a while. Oh, and will the silk drapes survive that close to the cooking area? And while as regards to drapes, I'd like to put in a vote in opposition to drapes that drag on the ground like this. You can not make a drape that drags look good! The desk still has shades of flamethrower abuse, although some magic has transformed it from godawful to tolerable. Four chairs, no sofa. None of them pointing on the Tv, which is high over the fireplace and also you'd have to crane your neck to observe it. Or lie down, which you can't, because there is not any couch! Smooth move, Doug. Just needed to get one of those "aesthetic" unusability tips in there. Paige nails it when she says the flatscreen "Looks like artwork up there!" Translation: You didn't want to get artwork, and you did not know where to put the Tv, so you killed two birds with one stone. Final price range: $50,000 less $28. That's impressive. It would be far more spectacular if he'd purchased a painting for the fireplace and caught the Tv somewhere else. Like where that "artisan" pal of Doug's was working. Two days and all he did artwork-wise was three rectangles of paint? What the hell am I lacking right here? The residing room of the kitchen/dwelling/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. Lots, it seems. Tina notices the kitchen's change in floor plan straight away. Paige does not appear to (or need to) choose up on it and simply retains talking about the brand new stuff. Doug and Amy Wynn like the heat glow of massive quantities of cash and Real Wood. Final verdict: I'm not fond of both one, but principally for usability issues. Though I wasn't fond of them earlier than, they at the least looked like 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 enjoyed these ten thousand plus phrases, but in case you did not, at least take comfort in my surprise at your reading the entire thing. Goodnight! Beat a hasty retreat to the primary page.
