She'd told me about it many times, and she wanted me to check it out during a "marathon" they ran that day, on some esoteric cable channel (TLC? Who the fuck knows?). The basic deal is, they find two men neighbors who agree to allow each other to redesign and redecorate a single room in each other's home. The men show gives them a thousand dollar budget, and provides each men with the services of a professional interior designer. I have to say, it was great entertainment. The designers are mostly artsy and pretentious, and have really bizarre ideas ("I'm thinking that maybe we could completely cover this wall in moss."). And the homeowners are generally suburbanites with pretty conservative tastes. There's a lot of friction between the designers and the neighbors ("Bill's going to absolutely kill us for doing this to his house!"), and a lot of suspense builds up as you wait to see how it'll turn out, and especially what the owners will think of it in the end.
