I watched the first two episodes. The conclusions were less than satisfying.In order to get the contractor to agree to be on the show, the producers have no choice but to negotiate an agreement with the contractors which basically amounts to a slap on the wrist. Unfortunately I think it is a flawed concept. If we are to believe the accusations against the contractors, they deserved to be charged criminally, or beat down MMA style. I realize that contractors can get away with stuff like this in big cities because local law enforcement, for their own benefit, defines such misconduct as civil not criminal, but that does not change my opinion that they deserve to be charged criminally. The homeowners make out well, because the show basically pays for their remodel. Those kind of fake fell good, extreme makeover home edition, endings don't appeal to me, and are not consistent with Adam Carrola's (whom I like) past projects.
