I binged all 6 episodes of Motel Makeover on Netflix yesterday.
It was an awesome TV cocktail made with shots of Fixer Upper, Instant Hotel, Gilmore Girls and Schitt’s Creek.
Some things were really hard to adjust to, like April and Sarah’s accents, or the term “Junified”, but it did happen. No matter how many times I went all Regina George and mentally went “Stop trying to make “Junify” happen, it’s not going to happen!”.
There was also a lot of Rosé-shipping. Is it just cause it’s wine but pink? Does it actually taste nice to them? Did their clearly suffering contractor Rick’s facial expression simply say it all?
Despite all that, these girls do have Insta-worthy taste and deserve all of their success. Couldn’t help rooting for them and hoping that Covid-19 wouldn’t be their ruin. It is inspiring that they gave up their day jobs and decided to Joanna Gaines/Lorelai it and build über cute motels. Friendship goals also.
I don’t know if I’d be OK with having a husband who wanted completely nothing to do with my own Netflix show though. I understand wanting privacy, but surely Sarah’s husband should have been there for the last minute helping out and stuff. Jason would not be able to escape.
Final lingering thought… does everything really have to be apricot beige?
Yes, it apparently does.
