Did anyone watch it?

I was just flicking through channels and I started watching it. It's basically about when domestic building work goes wrong, between builder and client. The show tries to give an open minded view of the situation; they try not to side with any party, because usually both parties are to blame by the lack of communication.

These guys were on it last night:



Guy in the middle is the moderator, guy on the right is the builder, and lady on the left is the client.

Anyways, I hope someone watched it. i watched it with complete frustration. The builder was a complete, rude idiot. He was bullying the client, and being completely unreasonable. Jen, the client, had to put up with so much shit; I couldn't believe she didn't break down in the middle of it all.

It was clear that Jen is an organised person, because she wanted receipts for everything, and wanted a breakdown of what is costing what. Fair enough, right? However, the builder couldn't seem to understand the concept of being organised. He couldn't even grasp the concept of why jen didn't want to make complete payment until she was sure all the work was appropriately completed.

If he treats all clients like that i'm surprised he gets business at all. He kept shouting and making shitty little comments. if someone I employed acted like that, I would tell them to F-OFF!

Did anyone else watch it? I want clarification that i'm not the only one who thought the guy was an idiot!

Oh, and the moderator/presenter was way too neutral. It was almost as if he couldn't see what was going on.

Are you being nice by calling it 'Meet the builders' because im sure it was called 'Dont blame the builder' haha.

~Anyways, ARGHHHHHHHHH that builder what a yeh. He was so not nice and talk about drama queen. But I wasnt suprised, trades people tend to be rude and outspoken especially when they have to deal with a woman that wants things done on time and done right.

I should probably go on the show with all the nasty builders ive had to put up with. But thats the thing, you have to put up with it or else they are nasty/walk off the job.
