Exactly. If these people are looking for real-life clients after some of the "visions" they've done on that show, ignoring the client's wishes and forgetting that people actually have to live in that garish room after you're done with it goes over big with the paying clients.
I've seen it occasionally, including some on Monday (saw the awful wall of records and the safari hut bedroom... blech), and am convinced that of the designers I've seen Vern is the only one who actually cares what the homeowners think and puts ego aside to give the people something they will like and can live in. I'd hire the guy for my place in a second if I could afford him.
