100 Day Dream Home

My new favorite show on HGTV! I love all the beautiful homes that they build from ground zero and the decor is always stunning! I love the cast! They're funny, knowledgeable, and just a beautiful couple with a wonderful supportive family! When mistakes happen, Mika is the calm one; Brian always acts like the situation is chaos but they always manage to make it right and please the homeowners! My hubby and I always say, "God, we wish that they would come to Texas and build our family's Dream Home in 100 days and decorate it! We also absolutely love the Special Projects and would love to be the next homeowners to design our own Dream Home with help from Mika and Brian (they make it all come together) and include a special surprise! Most builders try to make you choose between 3 floorplans and/or stuff you in tight community.

Middling personalities, below-average talent.

IDK why all of these HGTV teams have to married, although like others here have said, they don't act like they're married.

Watching an episode where a couple buys an undistinguished lot with a cute bungalow on it...only to tear down the bungalow. Why not save a hundred thousand or two and buy an empty lot? Idiotic.

There seems to be no planned filming schedule because there's hardly anything ever going on and they waste loads of time on minor details. Now they're showing the guy buying water for the crew...really? And now they're shopping.

A builder and a realtor do NOT add up to an architect. Realtors sell houses, they don't design them and she obviously doesn't have the chops to be designing or decorating houses. The problem with most of the developers in the US is that they think they don't need qualified, trained architects and as a result design dumb, boring houses. This show is marginally better than HGTV's standard fare, but these two still produce cookie cutter, latest boring all-white fads.

Concept can be sort of cool. No long wait for a cookie cutter; pick a Lowe's cabinet; not too deep design (if any). But-and this is a BIG but: Where's the love or affection with these two? I get they (or she) may not want to display PDA, but I guarantee Brian's gotta beg to get fed! Mika is a cold fish. And her attitude!?! I really can't stand it! Did you see how she stomped off when they lost a round of a home design competition? Homegirl was visibly angry, unprofessional, spoiled, and childish. Even photos of the two of them together look distant, disconnected, and seriously uninteresting. I think Brian may have loved her (once...ago) but now, it's all transactional. Another reviewer mentioned this as well-I thought it was just me?

That makes my rating low because they are an epic fail on human factors and loving connections. If they were divorced, Brian will be just fine. Mika will move on with a book and a can or sardines.

They (she) interacts more like brother and sister rather than husband and wife????

There is very little on screen PDA. For example Ben and Erin(Hometown); Nathan and Jerimiah; Chip and Joanna Gaines; Egypt and Mike, even Christina and Tarek, who are now divorced, even show more affection and care for one another than Mika does toward Brian.

I saw an episode where Brian affectionately leaned in to kiss Mika on the cheek, and she moved away.

On another episode he tried to carry her over the threshold, and she commented "were way past that." And there are so many other examples.

Perhaps i'm making more of this than is necessary, but IMO, when you see the other couples' interaction, Mika's seemingly cold and stand-offish attitude toward Brian really stands out.

Love these two! Their desire to deliver a dream home on the promise of 100 days Is a great concept!
