cancelled?

Well, according to several of the homeowners who appeared on the last season of the show, it had been cancelled. I recall specifically some of them saying that at the season-ending "wrap" Party, many of the production crew said that these were the last episodes. Plus, previously the site had included a link to apply to be on the show, and that function had been removed. Certainly a good portion of the cast moved on...

However, inexplicably, the fan site is now advertising a new season starting in October, with, "some" of the old designers returning. However, as far as I can tell, still no Paige Davis. If either Doug (who has a new show, but had been doing both), Hildi, or Frank don't return I won't watch.

My ex boyfriend got me into this show. I watched it religiously from 2002-2005. They lost me when they fired Paige Davis. This show needs a host; someone to be judge and referee and hand-holder. And Paige was great at it. If the new season is more of the same as the last two seasons, I won't watch.

A note to TLC/Banyan Productions:

If you want Trading Spaces to be a hit again:

1.) Hire back Paige Davis. If she is unavailable, unwilling, or unpalatable, then hire someone else to host the show. The hostless format is a bust.

2.) Two rooms, two days, $1000 dollars in each room, 1 carpenter. PERIOD. No more gimmicks.
