S and I have continued watching as much HGTV as we can handle. The programming schedule has changed some, as have our own schedules, but our television is always set to HGTV. While I enjoy most of the shows on the channel, the participants on one show annoy me to no end. Ed and Gillian from Marriage Under Construction were cute when the show began. Now they irritate my bowels.

They’re a married couple who were looking to buy their own home and completely renovate it. I thought they were cute at first, but they have continued to grate on my nerves with each passing week. They don’t appreciate any of the help that they’re getting, at least one of them is always in a mood and they have the audacity to be critical of all of the work being done on their behalf.

A few weeks ago, Ed was throwing a hissy fit because he didn’t like the runner the designer had selected for their stairs. He sulked around and then insulted the designer’s taste and efforts. I can’t even handle seeing them on the screen anymore, just watching their commercial is enough to make me start grinding my teeth.

If we had the help that they did, I’d be the most thankful and appreciative person on the planet. I would love not having to call around and get quotes from different people for the different things the house needs. I wouldn’t care if it meant having a camera crew follow us around. Ed and Gillian seem to spend more time “getting away” at spas and what not then they do in their home.

I wish I could go away for a days rest and know that other folks were working on my house for me. I hope the show gets cancelled and Ed and Gillian are forced to do things on their own. That’d wipe that stupid grin from Ed’s face.
