Episodes
Recapping Magnolia's Mini Reni - Season 1 - Episode 1 "Whimsical Indoor Garden."
In this episode, Shari and Rhonda dive into Mini Reni, the Magnolia Network’s newest design gem starring Joanna Gaines—minus the demo, the drywall dust, or Chip’s cockroach stunts. With just paint, trim, and $15K, Jo transforms three rooms in a 1930s cottage into a whimsical indoor garden dream.
The Besties break down the design details, d...
Nicole Curtis is back, Besties—and she’s not easing into Season 9 of Rehab Addict. In this double-episode recap of “Nicole Goes West” and “Attic Antics,” we’re talking attic bedrooms, squatter drama in Detroit, a hot water heater in the kitchen (WHY), and the Wyoming flip that started as a spontaneous online buy.
We unpack Nicole’s return after a three-year hiatus, her signature flag moment, her monster truck detour, and whether we&...
HGTV’s The Flip Off wrapped up with leather, landscaping, and low-key shade—just the way we like it. Christina’s curb appeal had us swooning, Tarek and Heather’s pergola made us question everything, and Jeff Lewis brought the perfect amount of petty to the judging table.
We’re breaking down the design drama, the behind-the-scenes relationship realness, and whether anyone actually won in a house under a flight path. Plus, what would...
It’s the season finale of HGTV's Castle Impossible (Season 1, Episode 8), and Daphne and Ian go full Versailles to transform a second-floor bedroom into a royal retreat—complete with wall draping, lavish moldings, a centuries-old fireplace, and a possibly priceless French masterpiece.
In this episode, Shari and Rhonda break down the regal reveal, bid farewell to a too-big bed, fend off wild boars, and debate whether accent wall...
In this episode of Designing Bitches, Shari and Rhonda dive into the Season 3 premiere (and part of Episode 2) of Holmes Family Rescue—because we simply had to stick around for the reveal. From a ghosting contractor who left mid-foundation to questionable wallpaper choices (🐸), we're dishing on everything Nicole and Bill endured to finally get a functioning laundry room—and maybe a little rooftop peace.
We’re asking the real q...
It’s the HGTV Married to Real Estate Season 4 finale and Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson did not come to play—they came to deliver a full glow-up on a tight budget. We’re talking kitchen envy, generational living goals, and one husband who thought he could pick the tile.
Shari and Rhonda break down every smart design move (and a few questionable ones), dish out big applause to Lillie and Ray for renovating with heart and confess thei...
Chelsea and Cole DeBoer are back with a bang—literally—as Season 3 of HGTV's Down Home Fab kicks off with a plate-glass disaster, a sunroom demolition, and a heartfelt home makeover for a single mom of three. We’re recapping every wild turn in this premiere: Chelsea’s evolution from Teen Mom to design powerhouse, Cole’s mustache glow-up, and the transformation of a closet into a jewel-box home office.
We’ve got thoughts on weat...
First it bubbled, then it buckled, and yes—then it came down. In the Rock the Block Season 6 Finale, Rhonda and Shari are dishing on upstairs bedrooms, bold balconies, and front-yard facades with big appraisal energy. The drama? Real. The dead grass? Regrettable. The hug snub between Alison and Michel? Unmissable.
We’re recapping who brought moody modern magic (Tristyn & Kamohai), who nailed Cowboy Contemporary (Chelsea & Co...
This week on Designing Bitches, we’re recapping the Season 4 premiere of Married to Real Estate, where Egypt and Mike help a NYC family trade 800 square feet and subway sirens for 6,300 square feet and… fake ferns in Atlanta. 😬
Shari and Rhonda dive into:
- The million-dollar dream home (and its zebra countertops 🦓)
- Why open floor plans are not dead (fight us)
- Whether white oak cabinets are the new pickled pine 😱
- And how Egypt Sher...
Besties, grab your drink of choice—because we are flipping out (again)! This week, we’re closing the book on The Flipping El Moussas Season 2 finale, and spoiler alert: no one saves the tub.
From a rock-paper-scissors house purchase to stolen plumbing, pleather pants, and patchwork design made entirely of leftover finishes, Tarek and Heather’s latest project had us wondering—was this a flip or a fridge-clean-out surprise casserole?
W...
Besties, buckle up! This week on Designing Bitches, we’re recapping Rock the Block Season 6, Episode 4 — aka the one where HGTV throws the rulebook out the window and the teams are forced to channel their inner Trading Spaces madness. With surprise themes, no budgets, and 48 hours to create stairways and bonus rooms using random transportainer junk, the drama (and delirium) is real. We’re talking moss walls, influencer spas, a gami...
Rhonda and Shari are back with piping-hot takes on HGTV’s brand new obsession-worthy series, Castle Impossible! In the premiere episode, fearless couple Daphne and Ian take on their first renovation inside a centuries-old French château — a sprawling estate they’ve never even lived in. Bold move? Oui.
They’re turning a former solar (yep, we Googled it) into a dreamy primary bedroom, and let’s just say… not all design choices are cre...

On this episode called "New Block, New Drama", HGTV kicks things off with a bang. The four identical houses are located just outside of Salt Lake City, Utah, and the first challenge for the four teams is renovating the kitchen, dining room, and living room areas.
The teams are Alison Victoria (Windy City Rehab) and Michel Smith Boyd (Luxe for Less), Chelsea and Cole DeBoer (Down Home Fab), Tristyn and Kamohai Kalama (Reno...
