Meet June 2005's "I Wanna Kill That Guy" of the Month
Ty Pennington.
Given that my average reader is a 43-year old stay-at-home mom in Duluth, GA, I know what you're thinking - what's your deal? He's just a lovable, off-the-wall, hunk-of-a-carpenter who likes to goof around on the set of Trading Spaces.
First, that description of him seems to be the product of a calculated marketing/PR campaign. Funny how it pops up here and here. And here, too, where we also learn that Ty has a one man band called Barney, in which he sings and plays the guitar in a white leisure suit lit up with Christmas lights. What a cutup - he's Ray Stevens with props.
Which leads me to point number two - his schtick. Wacky does not equal funny, at least not funny ha-ha. It equals bad and annoying, and Ty is extremely wacky. He's the Carrot Top of the home improvement world.
C'mon Ty, nobody's going to Sears.

Lay off Ty with your dated material. Ty is no longer on Trading Spaces. He is on Extreme Makeovers and changes a familie's life more in 7 days than you will in your entire life.
Plus he is hot, hot hot!
I think Ty is getting old and worn out. I saw him a few weeks ago building an ottoman for a handicapped couple and I couldn't believe it was him. He must wear a lot of makeup.
I also think he had his ass done.
Picking on remoding shows is so easy -- why don't you pick on other reality shows like Big Brother 9 or Dancing With The Stars?
How about Ellen or Tony Danza? Not creative enough to take them on are you? No, you'll just spend your time picking on a guy who has helped hundreds with his bare hands, while you punch aimlessly on a keyboard eating Krackle bars.
Loser!
You know that ty made those creamy toppings with his own "hands" don't you?
AHAHAHAHAHAAH I almost said "hands and glands" or "hand to gland contact." But I diddn't
