Ugly Living - Amerikas hässlichste Häuser

Retta is the greatest thing about this show! She's really funny and her commentary and reactions are enjoyable to watch. I really enjoyed season one. It was new and different. However, in the most recent season (aired early Jan 2023) they're showing mostly giant houses owned by upper middle class people that really are not that ugly. I'm sure they could find truly ugly houses - perhaps with people who really need the $ for the renovation. I like the rapport between Retta and Alison Victoria in the final episode of each season; however, the biggest drawback for me is Allison Victoria's designs at the end of the season. She basically takes away all the charm of the house and makes it as bland as possible. Disappointing after all the build up.

This show does a great job of showcasing houses that are ugly, however with that being said they pick the houses that will be the easiest to remodel. You can tell the show wants to be able to show off a nice home at the end rather than overcoming a challenge and remodeling an actual ugly home that is not functional. The house on the first season the house was ugly, but was purchased by her father. The house in the second season could have been passed over. The house in the third season just required cosmetic updates. The houses it was up against were worse. Additionally, there was a home that was not included as a finalist and I'm sure that was due to the amount of work it would have needed.

What a wonderful idea for a show!

I like Retta and the process, but a lot of the houses are just a little dated, or overly opulent, and aren't even ugly. Some of the houses are actually very beautiful.

Then the designer comes in..... Oh, so predictable: She rips out the gorgeous kitchen cabinets to put in the same ones in only darker and paints all the walls an ugly grey colour. Come on now. Is anyone else sick of open floor plan with grey paint as a go-to?

Every time I watch this, I feel like the results are much worse than the start. Last year, they had a huge gross house to rehab, and they took out the kitchen, the only beautiful thing in the house. So sad.

Please, please, please hire a better, more innovative designer!!!

It's not unusual for the ugliest house, not to be chosen. I can only imagine that's because it would take a whole lot more than $150,000 to redo those homes. So I kind of feel bad for the owners of the really ugly homes, but then again, nobody forced them to buy those places, so they kind of did it to themselves. I would love to hear the stories of the people who actually designed those homes to be so ugly. Of course, they would probably be too embarrassed to go on TV. It might be interesting down the road to have episodes showing how the houses that weren't picked might have been updated.

Show is still entertaining.

I like the show with the host being very funny, but with the last series I think you chose wrong. The young girl didn't buy the house her father did. No expense to her. He bought a very weird house with all the cameras dirty pool etc. All they had to do was remove the cameras, paint, remodel the BR, kitchen and exterior. The true ugliest house and the people who really needed the help was the under the sea home with statue in the front. This wasn't chose because you probably couldn't have fixed it fir the 150,000. You should have tried. Those people needed help more. You need to think about your real choices and the reality of your obvious limitations.you should still offer help to the other home.
