One of the viewers starts the discussion by saying,
“I’ll start by saying I do like this show but I feel like all these custom house layouts are the same. Is it just me? They all have bedrooms on the left side and a master on the right. I don’t understand why they don’t have different design styles, layouts, etc.”
People are joining the board,
One viewer expressed that the building looks formatted with the same formula, he wrote,
“I agree. I guess having a formula for building speeds up the process. I’m also amazed how these 2100 and 2600 square feet houses look so cramped”
To which, another viewer agreed and wrote,
“That’s what I was thinking that it speed it up. It’s too cookie-cutter for me. Yes, everything looks cramped.”
Viewers are seen also bashing about Mika and her way of handling the homeowner and their choices. To which one critic sums up by saying,
“I noticed that after watching maybe the first 4 of them. I hate how Mika gives them only HER choices for everything and gets so frustrated when they, gasp, don’t like any of it.”
However, amidst these comments, many of the fans are seen supporting them and taking their design as the most practical solution. A fan of theirs made another discussion board on Reddit where the fan writes,
“Just an appreciation post. I don’t know why but I love that couple. They seem so real and I love the goofy chemistry. I want them in more shows♡.”
