Ugliest House in America

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.

HGTV can afford to renovate all these ugly houses. Do it !!!

Don't leave these houses ugly. Fixing 1 isn't enough. 11 more houses to fix.

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.

Are you kidding me??? The house with no privacy wasn't even ugly. Or non functional!!! The Amityville house was ugly!!! And it was way more non functional!!!!

And the rock house wasn't the ugliest either! The other ones were way more non functional.

The first season y'all did great but what is wrong???
