Did you guys catch Jeff and Zoila on The Soup this week? Joel almost lost it when they did "the search for elle woods" bit! I love how they used Keith Olberman (sp?) to do that bit last week too.

It is like watching a car crash. If you work for him you do have to let it go. Chris just did not have it. You will not become project manger by fetching lunch. He should have known that much. HGTV shows SUCK!! Candice is the only one something to show. All the rest are like home decorators gone bad, with too much paint and totally wacky and hideous DIY projects. I am so sick of "the house hunters" that is on every time I check with the channel or "how much your house is worth". Are people really interested in this??? Love Jeff too.

I just said to someone yesterday that I live for jeff lewis. mk, I totally feel you; you have to give entire episodes a chance and he grows on you. Before I ever watched the show and I saw him on "The Soup," I hated him and thought he'd be absolutely unwatchable. Watch the tenderness he has w/ his pets and Zoila - I find my self cracking up through the whole thing. Also, to me, 90% of HGTV is the absolute bottom of the barrel worst design I have ever seen in my life. I like Candace, but she is by far the best one in an absymal lineup of design cliche crap ("bring the outdoors in,", "this is a very Zen space," "make it POP!," "what's our 'wow factor'?" - GAG ME! Their horrible house flipping shows (and the one on A&E) can't hold a candle to Jeff. Leah, thanks so much for the link. I just said to someone yesterday that I live for jeff lewis.
