Watching Garden Rescue on TV …

So, for tedious reasons I’ve recently been seeing (sometimes watching) more daytime TV than I have for about twenty years.

And I have a question - on Garden Rescue, is Flo’s garden design ever, ever, ever chosen by the householders? Every time I’ve seen it she’s ‘helping’ the chosen one, which inevitably means being sent off to some hidden patch of ground at the side or round the back. Then at the reveal she has to grin around a corner while someone else gets all the credit.

Have I just missed all the episodes where she gets to shine?

(And, seriously now - if you don’t understand my question, feel free to move on …)

Oh no - I’m the only person on MN who’s ever watched it.

The shame …

I was thinking about this recently after seeing Charlie in waitrose. It seems to me that Charlie's designs are chosen more than whoever she pitches against.

Interesting - you think householders want the biggest star?

Watching another now - once again the competition is between Charlie and Flo …

No, I think Charlie's designs are nicer. Smile

The Rich(?) Brothers seem to do good designs too.

I prefer Flo as a person but Charlie's designs are the best of all the designers. I probably find the Rich brothers to be the worst designers - although they are definitely the cutest looking!

But it’s so humiliating.

Once again Charlie’s plan chosen. Angry

I've been watching it for years and yes Flo's designs do get chosen sometimes! The Rich brothers are no longer in it, but Lee Burkhill and Chris Hull ( who I spotted in the Chelsea tv coverage). Charlie seems to appear more than the others, although my impression is that her designs are only chosen about half the time. Only my impression though!

I've watched all the ones with Flo on iPlayer as she our favourite in this house and I think she wins maybe 1/4 of the time, which is a shame as I really like how calm her designs are. I think Lee wins the highest percentage of his pitches.

Oh, that’s encouraging - thanks both! I’ll stick with it and open a celebratory bottle when she gets her moment.
