🏠 Home Makeovers & Human Emotions – The secret ingredient that makes renovation shows like Fixer Upper and Trading Spaces so damn compelling.

📦 We Love a Glow-Up – Why humans are psychologically drawn to transformation stories (and why we all want a home organizer to magically declutter our lives).

🎯 If We Were Reality Stars – Which shows would we be on? (Spoiler: one of us would totally crush Nailed It and the other would start alliances on The Traitors.)
