Casting Call
Hundreds of homeowners with signs & costumes descend on Home Depot in Orlando, FL on a weekend afternoon in December. They think their trying out for a regular Trading Spaces episode (which is odd- TS was just there late last season.)
Strapped to a forklift with a bullhorn in hand, Paige tells the crowd the plan to pay off someone's mortgage.
To make the cut, you needed to test your skills in foot painting & toilet racing.
Some people even used small children to try to get picked.
At Home Depot, 3 skill stations were set up. At the 1st one, hopefuls had to pick fabric swatches out of a bag blindfolded, put them on a board & decide how they'd be used in a room. In the 2nd, homeowners had 60 seconds to drive 6 nails into a piece of wood with only one hammer stroke per nail. In the 3rd, homeowners had to paint a picture of their house using only 5 paint colors & no brushes.
