Dreamhouse on DIY network *rollzeyez*
Oct. 11th, 2009 09:38 pmMermaid and I are watching "Dreamhouse" on DIY network on cable, and I have to tell you, it is one of the most frustrating experiences watching this.
The house DIY is focusing on is in San Diego, by the beach, worth a half million, and bought by three guys fresh out of college.
One of the kids is confident that he can get loans whenever, and his roommates are tapped out financially.
But really, the MOST annoying aspect of the show isn't the callowness of the rich boy, it's the many many commercials interwoven in the 1 minute of show-time inbetween.
I'm watching this wondering when they're going to throw their hands up in frustration, and how the financing and "sweat equity" inbalances are going to ruin their friendships. Rich boy's inventor father is quoted several times as saying something along the lines of "well, they're in their midtwenties. They'll make mistakes. I made mistakes at that age." I guess he's right.
