Darla--biologically known as my X-chromosome donor or "mom"-- has been forcing me to watch HGTV with her. It's a pathetic attempt to satisfy her maternal desire to bond with her offspring. I guess Darla has been feeling more distant since I told her I was bi-curious last year. ANYWAYS. After hours of watching House Hunters, Design on a Dime, Closet Cases, and Disaster DIY I have concluded that HGTV is destroying whatever potential housewives had to be creative. Why decorate and design your living space in way that reflects you as an individual? Instead, claim yourself incompetent, HGTV will send a saucy T.V personality and camera crew to laugh at your ugly adobe on network television, and then fix it up for you.
Oh, but it's really just a temporary fix. Once the cameras leave and your 30 minute time-slot on HGTV has passed, you will remember that your home is not a fruit of your labor. All compliments directed at the "nice color scheme" or feng-shui of your house from friends and acquaintances will be hollow and insignificant; you will plainly respond, "Thanks, I was on Design on Dime a few years back."
I found Closet Case to be the most vile show of them all. This show is similar to Hoarders. No participant on Closet Case or Hoarders truly confronts or defeats the psychological reasoning for their hoarding problem. No, no, HGTV just tells them they are crazy, throws away their material possessions, and leaves participants with neat-O storage units and an empty house the hoarder will just fill again with SHIT.
