Rock the Block

By 15 minutes into this series, I was shocked by the total waste of materials taken from these houses. Brand new tubs, cabinets, etc. were ripped out and taken to the dump! And wasted space! Leanne tore out a wall to make this gigantic bathroom....does a bathroom really have to be the size of a living room? And Mina apparently hasn't been watching the news, and doesn't know California is going through an horrific drought, so she puts in a shower with four jets, which the inspector told her to take them out, but she left them in anyway.(each uses 13 gallons a minute). There was the usual tough talk from them all, which gets a little old after a while. We'll keep watching (we really like Jasmine), but it's really just the same-old-same-old.

Could be a good show but Allison Victoria makes it practically unwatchable. She needs to stop telling us how she's going to win and just stfu and let her design do the talking. PS - no one cares about your $7000 toilet. Leanne Ford on the other hand - wacky and a little flakey but comes across as honest, genuine, and really likable. She has an idea of who her client is and she wants to please that client. Also, they should move this from Monday night to Tuesday night because every time Allison opens her mouth I immediately think "See you next Tuesday, Allison."

I used to watch Windy City Rehab. Never again. Alison takes obnoxious and arrogant to a whole new unwatchable level.

The show winner is decided by calculating who added the most value to their property. If I'm right they look at how much money was put in and how much they think(!?) it would sell and then they'll calculate the difference. So anyone who has won the shows episode challenge(s) is automatically in disadvantage because they are given as a prize an extra money they now have to put into their houses and that extra money makes their 'profit' smaller. And because every estate has their market max purchase limit, it puts them all in disadvantage, because all the houses are in the same price range. The math on this show just doesn't work.

David, the show is delightful except for Allison. She is as full of herself in Rock the Block as she is in Windy City. An example of her arrogance is when she stated in a Rock episode that her competition was two other designers but she omitted Jasmine. I was elated, thrilled, beyond joyous when Jasmine won the competition!!!

It's unbearable to listen to her so I no longer watch when she participates. Everyone works so hard but watching her is like listening to fingernails on chalkboards. Someone needs to have a serious conversation with her bc she's very talented and her designs are beautiful. How about duct tape across her mouth? It comes in pretty colors!
