YES. Agree 100%

True. But you discount the fact that a lot of people want to BE that. It would be their ultimate. You might be above that look and style of life, but I daresay there are millions in So Cal alone that want to look like her.

1) Money, money, money, if suicidal it would have been something I caused.

2) An affair. As mad and vengeful I'd be if my wife that I've built a life with opened her legs to another man. I think at the end of the day, I'd just want to be dead. I couldn't imagine the thought of her with another man and worse, bearing a child with him.

Granted #2 is probably a rash to judgement of course...

They're both annoying and dorky. But something was endearing about those two, even though they were awkward and their promos seemed uncomfortable. They just seemed like really average Americans who got lucky. I read an article a while ago about how they used to be poor and would share $5 subway sandwiches.

Christina's Orange County basic, right down to the vocal fry, gas-guzzling large vehicle, and Lululemon uniform. That aside, this is sad news when you think of their kids.

Like PPs have said, all these shows are formulaic and predictable. All of the hosts have their annoying quirks. Christina and Tarek's show is stupid but entertaining (would watch it over Love It or List It any day...that show is the worst!). It seems that in recent episodes, they started using higher-quality materials in their flips and investing in bigger projects. Anyone notice how they used to use laminate flooring and builder grade finishes all the time?

And so...? Btw, they also do not show their kids' faces on TV or in magazines.

That's not true. The kids have been on tv several times (or at least the handful of episodes I've watched). The kids were bringing her pizza one day, riding horses, "helping" her stage, etc.

Huh. That's what it said in the article they were just featured in People magazine. Did they show their faces? Because there pics of them in the mag but not front view.

Chip and Joanna are tiresome too. Does not matter what type of house we try to do a country chic design with white washed furniture, a huge gathering table and shiplap on the walls. No dimension
