Terrible

They tried to take the success from Monster Garage and the success from shows such as Trading Spaces and create a hybrid. Sometimes, two rights don't make a right. Instead of the egomaniacal but talented Jesse James, we get some no-talent egomanical hack of a host that puts forward horrible ideas for remodelling people's homes. Sometimes the results are so ugly, impractical, expensive, and impossible to maintain over a long term you can't help but grimace and realize how these people's houses have been ruined. It's literally like Trading Spaces from hell.
