The "While You Were Out" crew conspire with one member of a household to get their spouse/partner/roommate out of the way so that they can perform a 48-hour makeover on a room or outdoor area. They also trail the party who is away, asking all sorts of questions. The person at home then has a chance to win prizes--which integrate into the new design--for correctly guessing how their spouse/partner/roommate answered. —Kevin Stanford

Quotes
Designer: Why do we always wait until the very last minute to do the painting? It's like, "They're pulling up the drive-way, pull out the stain!"

Ananda please stop!

I love this show but if I hear Ananda say that I am a carpenter, as a carpenter, as a designer and carpenter . . . I'll stop watching. You are now a hostess. Get over yourself!
