Help! I Wrecked My House

Some good stuff but some really annoying and frustrating. Why do they rip up a perfectly good solid wood floor in several rooms and replace it with vinyl just because it creates 'a good flow throughout the house'. Then they add a bunch of things the client didn't ask for, like spending $2000 on a slab of tree to make a door, then ring the client and tell them about an unforeseen 'issue' (there's always one in this formulaic program) and tell them they'll need to find another x thousand dollars. Why not just ditch the stupid unneeded extras no one asked for and do the job within budget.

I watch her stand around with a tool belt talking to the camera telling us what's (she's going to do ) for 10 minutes .she could of had most if it done if she worked AND talked.the show is designed to make you think she along with 1 other guy do all the work or a majority of it when we know they show them doing 25 sec clip of them working. ,then the camera stops and the crew does the rest I'm very tired of all design shows when choosing color they pick out of billions of colors over rated white.and every seat bedroom couch has 50 pillows..accent walls and wallpaper. Should be yesterday..if you edit out all the talking not working the show would be 40 minutes long. Also the wife's husband of the house has no say if any..he just goes along with wife. I've never seen people of color or any gay couples .I hope going forward jasmine stops all the talking and show us HER actually working and her crew..

Some of the people seem to honestly need help but at least half apart to have turn their houses apart so they can appear on the show. Are there really that many people out there who start one project, realize they are in over their heads, and just walk away and start another one? Repeatedly? Leaving holes in multiple walls and bare subfloors seems to be standard behavior for these people, bonus points for leaving exposed electrical and gas. And where do they find so many spouses that just say, "sure honey, leave the holes in our entry way walls and go work on taking out that arch you think might be load bearing instead"? The latter seasons get better with people knowing when to say when, or having reason to think they could tackle some of these projects, but the first season is stupid.

I find Jasmine to be very likeable and kind and do not find her condescending in any way, like others mentioned. Are we watching the same show? I think what may be happening is that the script of the show is just pointing out why these people need help (because some episodes have people who really need help well others not so much in terms of wrecking their house). It's the first season so I am sure they will find more clients who really did wreck their home and will also improve the show as it goes. Sometimes it's an editing issue that can shape what we see and with repetitions that can seem to make the dialogue overdone. Also, I have watched clips only and not full episodes but my impression is that Jasmine is kind, real, and does give her clients what they want and ask for. I am enjoying the show and looking forward to new episodes.

Jasmine is a pleasure to watch- she's real, knowledgeable without barrages of information, and good spirited. This is the perfect mix of "fix my disaster" & HGTV shows, without the eye-rolling fake feeling of shows like Fixer Upper. It's not too sickly sweet, unrealistic, shrouded prices. Jasmine tackles every issue with humour, transparency, and genuine zeal for what she does. The show also gives airtime to the contracting teams, instead of just showing progress being "magically" made- we love seeing credit go where credit is due!

Overall, this is an easy watch, realistic and honest info, and approaches tasks with humour and positivity.
