My girlfriend loves The Rock. So much that *I* stopped watching wrestling with her at one point! But he's gone now so she has no interest.

If I have to sit through Scorpion King one more time...

Wrestling for my wife is what Trading Spaces is for me: a show that, when the other one is watching it, we might come in more to just hang out than watch the show. However, as a result, I can now say such things as "Vern should stop doing upholstered headboards" and "Hilde always picks the worst window treatments" and she can say such things as "Chris Benoit has no mike skills" and "Ugh, Brock Lesnar looks disgusting." She'll get into the acrobatic stuff somewhat, but absolutely hates the hardcore stuff, to the point where she can't watch. But for the most part it's "I guess I can understand why you get into this." Hey, that's enough for me.

For some reason though, she's gotten insanely into Football in, like, the past month. Who knew?

but I don't know who will be Jesus. Raven, perhaps

Well, they're both Jewish. That's a start.

Oh c'mon, Moe, Vern's upholstered headboards rule the planet! Did you see the one this week with the woven fabrics? Very nice.

Well, they might look nice but

a) they take a ton of time to do, which means less time for other stuff and

b) How the hell are you going to clean or dust that thing? If you have allergies you're going to be one miserable bastard every morning.

Gee, I guess I'm more into the show than I thought. Maybe my wife's at work talking about the backstory behind the current HHH vs. HBK feud.

My wife and I were wondering how they were ever going to clean that circus tent one that Hilde did once. Her stuff is more "eclectic" than Vern's. We decided if we were ever on the show, we need Vern or Genevieve to do our room. Doug or Hilde would not do. Nope.

How could you possibly leave out the best of the best, Frank? I'd let Frank redo any room in our house without any fear whatsoever. I've never seen one of his designs that I didn't like, and, more importantly, that the homeowners didn't appear to love.

As for the original topic of this thread, I turned my wife onto the glory of wrestling several years ago. She watches with me religiously and has her own tastes that differ dramatically from mine in many cases. However, I haven't managed to turn her on the the IWC. She knows it is there, but doesn't really care.

Frank? Maybe if you're 4 years old. People who I would let decorate my house go in order:

Vern
Genevieve
Hilde
Southern annoying chick
Doug
Frank

Big thumbs down on the wrestling scene. Not that it matters, since I scarcely watch any more. I don't think it's good for my 7, 5, and 1 year olds.

i gotta agree with you there.....i don't think i've seen anything that Hilde or Doug have done that i've liked. doug seems like he's an ass sometimes too. he almost walked off a couple of weeks ago when the couple wouldn't let him paint (ruin) the fireplace.

if i had a choice (even though they don't let you pick) of designers from TS do my home, it would be

1. Vern
2. Frank
3. Lori (the red southern chick)
4. Genevieve

I'm beginning to watch regularly again, and since we do not get TNN with our current cable package, my wife now gets to look forward to me going over my parents house every Monday night for two hours to watch wrestling. It gives her time to hang out with HER parents on Monday, so I don't think she minds all that much. She thinks it is childish and stupid, so to get back at me she watches the Anna Nicole Show (I think she's the only person on the planet who actually saw every episode). I do not like *that*, but as long as I'm watching wrestling I can't say anything.

I would do Page, Laurie, Amy Wynn and Genevieve, in that order.

OH...we're talking about room design? Oops...

The great thing about Frank though is he gives you insight as to what Ernest Hemingway would look like if he were a gay stereotype.

You're crazy. The "doing" order is definitely


Genevieve (solely because she seems like a lot of fun, not for looks)
Hilde
Amy Wynn
Page (see Genevieve and reverse it)
Laurie

And you brought it up, not me. Why do you think I watch the show?

EDIT: Frank's married (to a woman). I give Doug a 65% chance of being gay and Vern an 80% chance. Ty gets a 5% chance.

I think you're right about Vern, but Doug's at about 98%.
