A little disappointing...

"This dvd is simply 2 TS episodes where the homeowners hated the results. It has "bonus" footage, but it's the same stuff from the first TS dvd "The Best of Trading Spaces".
Not worth the money."

But I liked it!

"I've loved the show "Trading Spaces" ever since I stumbled across an episode about a year and a half ago. I was charmed by the perky hostess and totally wowed by the exceptional designs that were realized by the homeowners. I learned which designers I preferred over the others and I regularly enjoy seeing the "reveals", or the first time the homeowner gets to see their remodeled room. Based on the title of this DVD, it's safe to say that somebody isn't as happy as I am with the results.
The DVD contains two full episodes of the show, as well as a montage of clips featuring less than satisified customers. The most infamous reveal, that of Doug's covered fireplace, is included in the montage, but the actual show is available on another DVD. Also, none of the designer Dez's work is shown, even though she did create many unhappy homeowners.
I do love the tv show, but the DVD only gets 3 stars because of the lack of really meaty extras. I want to see more about how the carpenters' build the furniture. I'd like to see the designers' sketches. I want more outtakes and bloopers. And, most of all, I want the extras to be different than the ones available on the other Trading Spaces DVDs. If you buy them all, it's all repeat stuff. Sorry."

I HATED IT!!!!....

"This is NOTHING but 2 shows where the people didn't like the results. No outtakes or things that couldn't be shown on regular tv. If your a regular viewer of the show you have seen everything on this dvd. The "bonus" footage is again nothing you haven't seen before, just reactions that where shown during the orginal airings of those shows. Surely with the radcial reactions to some of their makeovers there have been some reactions deemed not suitable for regular tv but if there where none are shown here. ... Doesn't deserve 1 star but couldn't rate it lower!"

Not Worth It

"I LOVE the show Trading Spaces. Ever since Paige Davis took over the show there is not a single episode that I haven't seen. When the Trading Spaces They Hated It aired on TV I was extremely dissapointed. I thought it would be really great and that they would show much more of the reactions of the homeowners hating it but they didnt. It is a total waste of your money if you have seen these episodes before. It is 2 episodes, each for 55 minutes they RE-BROADCAST the episode and then for the last 5 minutes give you a bonus addition where they tell you whether or not they homeowners kept it or not and what it looks like now. NO EXAGERATION this is exactly the way it is. As a HUGE fan of the show I can't believe I am saying this... Dont waste your money."
