We love Trading Spaces! The reason anyone loves it? We love getting ideas on design and decor. Vern, Laurie, and a few other designers are talented and tasteful. You feel good watching it and it's obviously fun to see the before and after. HOWEVER, I will have to wait it out on watching - just like EVERONE else I know, until the show does away with the Hildi joke. Because that's what it is. They are trying for the shock factor or some such thing but really.. it's just an insult to the viewers intelligence. So, like others, I just change the channel when she's on. Soooo much else worthwhile to watch, why watch that? C'mon Trading Spaces! It's just gone on so long, it's just annoying now.
