For the most part, all these comments are civil and thoughtful! S'why I like Apt Thrpy so much. :)
As for Lisa, I think she's doing a great job.
To "Consensus"
What you said about Monica Pedersen is just plain rude. Obviously, HGTV saw something in her and people like you are just jealous. You are probably some ugly, pathetic person who wishes you could have been a cheerleader/model/etc. But you can't so you insult others that are successful. I am so sick and tired of people like you. What the hell did she ever do to you? Huh? Nothing you jerk. Get over it. There are pretty, blond successful women all over the world and they are no less deserving of their success than other people.
I'm with you, Maloney--
Knocking Monica is like knocking puppies or kittens. She seems INCREDIBLY sweet, she is flawless on camera, never forced, very engaging and totally sincere. Did you see her with her Mom making a gingerbread house?? A. Dor. Able.
And she seems as, or more, talented than any or many on HGTV.
Maloney and Patrick are right on...
Consensus is obviously jealous. Monica Pedersen is a very talented designer and appears to be very grounded, which is uncharacteristic for most "pretty" people, especially on television. It's not her fault that she's gorgeous, and to hold her good looks and cheery spirit against her is petty.
The major question i have about this show and others like it, is...How many of these homes actually SELL, after allthe Tweeks" are done? Frankly i think a bit of REAL in the "reality" that these shows promote would be refreshing. But, then again, if the house still doesn't sell after the improvements..what would these shows blame it on then?
