Help! I Wrecked My House

I like the show, and I don't think Jasmine is rude to her clients, she's just direct. I think the formula of the show is fine, it follows the standard home improvement formula that is so common. I'm not too picky, I love watching before and after home transformations. For me it's mostly about the visuals and I can mostly ignore the cheesy scripted dialogue. What I don't like about the show is that Jasmine always takes all the credit. She says "I did this" and "I did that" or "I have to do this or that", when in fact it's a crew of talented workers actually doing most of the work. I get that she is the one executing the vision, but I really think she should give credit where credit is due and stop sayin "I" and start saying "we" or "the crew and I". I would also like to see Jasmine working with more contractors and tradespeople of color. It's all very white. Including the clients. Let's see some more people of color included in this show.

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.

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.

One of my favorites on HGTV. Sounds like a bunch of sour grapes in the previous reviews! Jasmine Roth is smart & very talented as well as kind. I hope this show continues.
