I wonder if the cute carpenter Ty will be on that episode?

Ach! This is one of my favorite shows, and I can't believe they're doing a sorority! I had that exact same Idea...I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool if we "traded rooms" with one of the other sororities? But then I realized our House Corp would go crazy if our formal sitting room got painted bright red or something! I'll look forward to the episode, thanks for the tip!

BrownEyedGirl, I disagree. I think Paige Davis is as cute as she can be. They did a wedding special on her a few weeks back. She used to be in the Beauty and the Beast tour and met her husband there. His name is Patrick Page so her married name is now Paige Page, how funny! Anyway I think she's great. Love that show, but I have seen some crazy houses. Did anyone see the bedroom swap where one was done with a chocolate brown wall and a gold vaulted ceiling and they put pasted pattern paper (from sewing patterns) on the wall in the dressing area. It was pretty hideous. I have seen some cute and innovative ideas on that show. The sorority episode should be really fun.

I liked Alex McCloud much better than this new host. lol. There are certain designers that I would never let in my residence. I think Vern does a great job. Sorry for not knowing names, but the hippie chick is awful!

Have you all seen the rock that Paige's husband got her? WOW! It has to be at least 2-3 karats!

I've actually seen Trading Spaces and couple times. It's OK, but it *does not* compare at all to the show from England's BBC called "Changing Rooms." Trading Spaces is an American version based on the English program. Changing Rooms is way funnier and has better designing. Has anyone seen Changing Rooms? My cable company offers the BBC America channel which airs it nightly.

But yeah, it would be really cool to watch that episode. Someone brought up a good point, the designers would probably be very limited in what colors and stuff they could use in a sorority house. I'm sure they're going to do a lot stuff related to storage areas and what not. I'm gonna note the day (Feb 20th) so that I can watch it!

I have become addicted to this show. It's funny, but usaully Everyone is fairly happy eith the way the rooms turn out, but I saw one recently they did in the Seattle area where the woman took one look at the room a left crying!

I would be a little wary abour having some of those decorators in a sorority house.. but I think that if they totally screw up, they probably do the room the way if should be.

I have seen changing rooms on the BBC. I like trading spaces better. But I watch both whenever I get the chance!

Trading Spaces is one of my favorite shows, and I will definitely be looking out for this episode!

At first I was upset that Alex McLeod left the show, but Paige is growing on me.

My fav designers are Vern, Hildy and the redhead (drawing a blank on her name!)

SigKap, I saw the episode you were talking about. I felt so badly for her, I just wanted to die! I can't even imagine what it must have been like to have been in the room when that happened. For those who missed that episode, they didn't turn the woman's mike off and you could easily hear her sobbing. LOUDLY.

Did any of y'all see the Trading Spaces episode a few weeks ago where the woman got extremely irate about the way her bedroom looked after it was redone? I was shocked that she would be so rude on TV. (And, personally, I thought the room looked great! I would love to take it off her hands!)

I love that show!! Can't wait to see that episode!

I love that show too...but I think I like Alex better. I think most of the designers are pretty good. Lori (the redhead) might be my favorite...but really the only one I would NEVER let into my house would be Doug. Some of his stuff is just...

Looking forward to seeing the sorority house episode....but hopefully I will have a JOB by then and won't be able to watch it
