Enjoyable

Caught this on Prime. Only seasons 1-4 and 10-12. Its fun to watch, but after watching 3 seasons I think the judges get their design critiques straight out of there collective snobby backends. Especially Shannya. I detest the fact that something a designer says sets the standard for the world. I would never hire Shannya for anything connected to design. Perhaps she should concentrate on styling herself first.

I also think its an unrealistic timeframe and then to make them leave for 24 hours for a challenge, even tho those are fun to watch.

Scottie, Keith and Dan are quite likeable however.

The couples...some I don't see staying together for the long term.
