I totally agree, Vern had her and she kept trying to TALK OVER HIM!!!! SHUT THE HECK UP!!! For those that missed it:
With only 5 contestants left they were called to the "paint cans". Tracee got the star to be "Team Leader". Did y'all just not love EVERYONES face when they saw that. LOL!!! Totally priceless and she darn well knew it too.
It was the dreaded "Kitchen". The horid paneling and vinyl floor HAD to go. Tracee would not shut up and still never got ANYTHING accomplished. Trish went headfirst telling them she had to do something in order to be of value and help in this challenge. She hurt her ring finger on the first show and it was HUGELY swollen and her ring stuck and cutting off circulation. The FD came out and she let them cut it off. 20 minutes later she was hard at work busting her butt w/ everyone else. Meanwhile Tracee is still standing there lost trying to figure things out. The rest of the team is in TOTAL demo-mode and getting things kicked into high gear. They KNOW that stuff has ALL got to come out so why not get started on it ASAP and discuss the plan of action while doing it. Something that went completely over Tracee's head. Even when she got them to stop and sit in a circle she just kept going on and on and on about NOTHING! Shut up and throw out your GRAND IDEAS woman. Then assign tasks and get going. Nope, she just kept telling them they needed to just sit down and take a few minutes to go over things yet she never started any semblence of a thought out plan. DUH!!! I so wanted to slap her.
Okay, so Tracee leaves to go shopping w/ Matt to get the appliances and found someone to do the granite countertops. This was THE ONLY piece of valuable work she did for the ENTIRE CHALLANGE!!!!
Day 2 - Tracee makes up her little time chart for tile work on the backsplash to start at 2:00pm. Mikey V is going to install it. The family SPECIFICALLY said they wanted a nice backsplash. Tracee leaves to go shopping for "fluff" at 12:30 and does not return until
6:30!!!!! Mikey V tells her there is no way he can do the backsplash now as there is not enough time and it would NOT get finished. She kept trying to see how they could put it on w/o cutting it and do it "faster". No can do. Mikey V and Trish installed the hardwood floors in the room. Remember she has a busted finger that is swollen the size of her elbow. Matt & Jennifer had done the kitchen cabinets - used putty to fill in the "groove" that was dated, sanded and painted them. The 4 there working got the countertop installed w/ Matt up under the lower cabinets attaching it. Trish was also helping to cut and install the drywall to go over the horid paneling. Oh, I loved Tracee's shopping trip....... the others made comments about how she gets "lost" on these trips and can not make up her mind. The camera proved it. LOL!!!
Day 3 - Tracee paints the window over the kitchen sink. Why????? It could have matched the rest of the wood trim in the room. She also did a sloppy job and got paint all over the glass and did not clean it up. Matt painted the backsplash a dark brown to at least give it SOME depth. Tracee hung some placemat over the kitchen window. purty
The Hosting Challange:
Trish - did a great job, came off as very personable and informative.
Matt - LOVED Matt's and he gave a lot of info in a very short amount of time. Especially on how to get rid of the paneling and update the kitchen cabinets.
Jennifer - she did a great job as well. Very personable on camera and gave some good "you can do it" vibes to the viewers.
Mikey V - I guess they could call him the "Rambo of home redo's" or something. He does GREAT WORK and I'd let him in my house anyday for his skills.
Tracee - did she say "paint the countertops". SHE DID!!! LOL!!! Too funny. While she might "look good" on camera for a "hosting" position she is NOT the one for the job at all. She can NOT lead. Did she say her "employees"???? Hmm, wonder how they really feel about her.
Tracee HAD TO GO!!!! Even my dh who watched it last night for the second time this season said he was already sick of her. LOL!!! She is NOT a leader at all.
Mikey V - that was a tough one of the final 4 left. I was guessing unless someone else totally screwed up it would be him based solely on his on camera "toughness".
