I watched most of this show last night while Lis was taking a shower and I liked it, it's really interesting, but, OMG, I'll have to take a sedative to watch it again. I'm serious. Bob and Cortney Novogratz flip houses for a living. The do it yourself designers branched out and now have a company, they live in the AMAZING spaces they create until they flip them. Last night they were moving all 6 kids, the mom was due to give birth again, the chaos was astounding. They finally found a small place to stay for a few months and he was yelling at her not to lift furniture and at the end of the show she was on the phone to the doctor, going "I'm bleeding." Jesus Christ..these people are insane. But, really creative and I can't wait to see what architectural masterpiece they come up with next. I could never live like that. But, man, I want to beg the producers NOT to make this show about the kids. I am so burnt out on the kid shows, these parents are fascinating and actually seem to work their ass's off and I do not want to see 9 by Design turn into "kids visit moo cow" shit. I've had it with that crap.

I hate shows like this now. I have officially OD'd on reality shows in general, and the makeover shows are all over the place. I hate it!

That kitchen looks like the same one they used in the movie Baby Mama when Greg Kinear (sp. ?) was talking to Tina fey in his kitchen.
I hate these shows too. It makes it look so simple and easy for a woman to have tons of kids, a buisness and wearing expensive trendy clothes all while not breaking a sweat or a Xanax bottle. It makes us regular moms worry sick about expanding our families because we will not look and act that amazing with money to spare.
I think they are extremely talented! I hope that their talent will override the need to showcase the children, I think it will. The other shows have to make the kids the main focus because the parents are totally boring and exetremly untalented.
Kid reality shows really need to stop. If they want to flip houses fine, but no more kids stuff. I'm really sick of it too, it's just too much.
All that moving is a good way to keep the clutter low. Maybe I ought to move a few times.
Please please I beg for 9 by Design to stay focused
on the fun world of design. I agree please don't
focus on the kids! Also I thought the
editing of the show was on the slow side
and the dialog extremely repeatative
especially for Bravo! Did you run out
of material already...don't need to recap
a thousand times! Bravo watchers are smart.
Interesting. I'm feeling torn. I haven't watched this show, but you make it sound interesting, though the idea of all those kids and the melodrama about the bleeding are making one half of my brain scream "nnnnnooooooooo!!!!!
There are too many shows about flipping houses, rich people getting to choose new houses that a realtor is finding for them, having renovations done for investment income, etc. It just makes me want to scream. The only home-type show that I watch (and only occasionally) is Clean House, because I can identify with bits of the clutter, and it galvanizes me to root through things and get rid of stuff we aren't using. I'm planning a big garage sale for the first nice weather weekend we have, and whatever I don't sell will go straight to Good Will. It also is inspiring how they are able to remake things or repurpose things on the show when they haven't made enough profit on their yard sales.
I know I'd LOVE for some billionaire to come wandering into my house, look around, and then announce that he'd pay me three times more than the monthly mortgage if I could move out in a week! Get me the boxes - I'm gone!
Seriously - these people live like high-rent gypsies. 4 moves in one year, and with 6 kids?!
And how could any woman in her right mind, full-term pregnant, bleeding (Heavy, not light, she tells the doctor's office) remain so calm?! I mean, just watching it made my blood pressure go up - and she's calm on the car ride, lugging her bag all through hospital admittance (with hubs standing right next to her!) and into the delivery room.
She must have been born with a lobotomy.
Their house designs are fabulous - and their home life seems chaotic.
Perfect recipe for a new reality show.
