Yeah, that's one of the reasons I don't care for that show. I've only watched it a few times, but it strikes me as kind of annoying. The neighbor often has a good feel for what the owner would like, but the designer will override that and do whatever stupid shit they feel like.

There are so many excellent and fun design shows on HGTV whose goal is to leave the residents HAPPY with their new space -- Trading Spaces is for drama, not style. You'd be far better off with the Design on a Dime team redoing your room.
