Paige Davis... Gone!? (sniff)

Well TLC really did it now. As you might read from an earlier post, I HATE TRADING SPACES. Really, I loathe it. Not because it's a bad show, but because it was a fun idea that used to be on once a week and now is a fricking rehash, mostly with loser designers, and I swear it's on like five times a day.

Too much!

Anyhow, what originally made TS was Paige Davis and Ty Pennington. Ty has moved onto bigger and better things, and now TLC has given Paige the boot.



Press Statement:

"TLC is taking Trading Spaces in a new creative direction, transitioning to a "host-less" format this spring. As a result, Paige Davis will be leaving the cast of Trading Spaces. We believe that this new creative direction will enable the show to be more spontaneous, focus more on the homeowners and designers, and create alternative home trades in different cities and on opposite coasts.

Paige helped make Trading Spaces a great success for the network and we wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors.

Paige's last new episode will premiere in March, with repeat episodes of Trading Spaces airing throughout the year."

With all due respect, what a stupid move this was. Well, now I have one less reason to watch this asinine show. At least with Paige, there was some eye candy on that would regularly prevent me from looking at my wife and saying "Turn this shit off!" No more.

My only hope is that in a well-timed publicity maneuver designed to launch her career to the next level, Paige ends up in Playboy. :)
