Aresnz posted 11-20-02 06:35 AM THEY DO WORK FOR THEMSELVES Ticked1 thanks for answering my questions. I'm thrilled to hear that Andrew/Leslie don't have others helping with carpentry work. It's all their own handywork!!! How nice of Andrew, Leslie and Peter to show up so early on 2nd day to work off camera and get additional work completed. True professionals and conscientious as well. Sorry about a couple projects not being able to be completed. At least you'll have those to work towards. I guess the designers usually have more anticipated projects than can sometimes be completed. (as in your case) Your not the only one where all the projects don't get completed though, so don't feel too bad. This proves how they really are rushed to get everything completed within the time constraints of the show. It was nice Thanks again for the behind-the-scenes info. Take care. ---------------------------------------------- ticked1 posted 11-19-02 03:30 PM aresnz, To answer your questions, we didn't get a copy of the show from TLC, they said we would have to tape it off TV. However, the Salt Lake Tribune newspaper used our house along with the Ogden house for a story and the reporter for the paper got an advance copy of the tape. When he finished with it he gave it to us. There is a large crew that helps behind the scenes. But, to be ---------------------------------------------- aresnz posted 11-19-02 11:05 AM NOT TICKED ticked1 thanks so much for the info. I really loved your ep on WYWO and the outcome. Happy you won that great barbecue!!!! Your husbands reaction was priceless. Do you get your own copy of the show? Also, I'm always interested in hearing the behind-the-scenes info on what's actually going on. Am so glad the show IS NOT scripted. (as I've read TS is) Personally, I'm a fan of Thanks again. ticked1 posted 11-19-02 12:18 AM Not Ticked :) I picked this nickname a while back when someone on this board TICKED ME OFF! (All is well now though) We are the homeowners from the show where the big prize at the end was a BBQ-and we weren't rained out. As far as the show goes, it was a GREAT experience. The crew was terrific!! And I have to say that whoever edited the show got rid of some really great moments. I It was an awesome experience and I would do it again ANYTIME! ---------------------------------------------- bubbling_blunder posted 11-17-02 08:10 PM Do I really need to say this??? I just want to add my 2 cents...I think Peter makes the show! I seriously think it would not be as great if anyone else were to be there. I enjoy his designs and the thought he puts into each and every project he takes on. I just wish I had the "guts" to do what they do sometimes on the show. ---------------------------------------------- flyin_frog posted 10-21-02 12:35 PM I agree - Peter had a lot more design elements planned for our mediterranean patio that didn't hit the air. I would have loved it if all of them were incorporated into the final product, but he left the plan with us so that we could finish it off at a later date. ---------------------------------------------- jovyone posted 10-17-02 05:25 PM Cast comments Without recapping what everyone else said, my comments are the following: Peter Bonsey, love the accent, and he seems to really move things along and enjoy it. His end result isn't pow, but I'll keep looking, the budget is minimal.. ---------------------------------------------- flyin_frog posted 10-15-02 12:46 AM It was a REALLY fun experience. I was bummed that I didn't get to meet Andrew and Leslie (they raced off with their trailer and equipment before I got home)…but Peter and Teresa were great! (Stick with it Teresa – you're doing a great job!! Andrew and Leslie – if you read this, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I wish I could have met you.) ---------------------------------------------- joanlebone posted 10-10-02 09:26 AM Last Saturday's episode was the first one I've ever actually enjoyed. The designer Peter was GREAT, very upbeat and cheerful (which is what I enjoy about Trading spaces). He was not of the "oh sweet Jesus what happened to my dream" school like Christy (sp?) or Chase (again, sp?). I enjoyed watching his work and loved his positive attitude - he even got Andrew to shut up and stop whining! Loved it. ---------------------------------------------- maya-papaya posted 10-10-02 04:07 PM This is Mental Health Week... Peter, the designer was the best they've had on in terms of personality and attacking a space with some sense of reality and style. ---------------------------------------------- beargirl28 posted 10-16-02 10:33 PM The English accented gentleman designer - I do like his work. He is fine, but I prefer designers who like to have fun and joke around (Vern-TS) I'd love to be on but I'd want to pick my own team. ---------------------------------------------- paintscraper posted 10-17-02 01:45 PM Isn't he Australian? ---------------------------------------------- joanlebone posted 10-17-02 01:51 PM i think Australian Either Brit or Aussie - he was great! I didn't find him nasty at all, especially compared to b*tches like Chase and Christy. ---------------------------------------------- Peter, Yes I am still interested in a design, but would like you to be a part of the While you were out team that I hope to have working on my house doing this project. I enjoy the shows you work on and your design sense is second to know one I have ever seen. I have been in the Construction business all of my life, and worked with several designers, and none of them have impressed me like you. I submitted an application to get on the show and have not heard a word about it. I really want to get this done but really know nothing about what Thank you for getting back to me and remebering me as well. Sincerely ---------------------------------------------- angelhart65 posted 01-22-03 10:48 PM Ok guys for those of us who watch both WYWO and Trading Spaces i am curious in your ideal world who would you want to redo your entire house? Go room by room and pick a designer to redo each room. My choices... There was too many andrew subjects so I am going to make one on that sexy stud known as Peter BonSey. he makes me feel all woogely. ---------------------------------------------- Hello everyone, Thanks, bonnie_bluebelle osted 1-11-02 07:45 PM I'd like to apologise for the abuse posts you had to endure here. Please do not judge these boards by one unhappy, sorry, punk who seems to relish abusing everyone. Most of us are educated, interested viewers who enjoy the show and the talents the designers provide. Thank you for posting here and I do hope you choose to ignore dudley-boy (as we have learned You do lovely work. ---------------------------------------------- mr_dougslass posted 11-12-02 01:02 AM That was very well put. I hope Peter come back again too. ---------------------------------------------- daniellesmom posted 11-11-02 12:09 AM I just love the creative ideas of Peter. Maybe he should get his own how! ----------------------------------------------tsmark posted 10-22-02 09:23 PM Huh? Peter is a fine designer and is the same as he has always been. I don't know what you are referring to but I can't dislike Peter, sorry. I especially love all his water features! He is a genius. And if he was tough, he might have wanted to just remain on schedule? You can't just hangout the entire two day. Right? ----------------------------------------------tlcshowsfan posted 10-20-02 12:45 AM The gent, landscape architect, on todays show is a drill searget!!!!! He is MEAN, RUDE, obnoxious, etc..... He belly aches when someone makes a mistake, and today he made a HUGE one and insited that a solution be made to compensate his stupidity! He didn't apologize or anything. He SUCKS! ---------------------------------------------- luvmesomevern posted 10-22-02 12:59 AM Ok, here goes... Leslie - is a little doll. She seems cool, and has a good sense of humor. Peter - cracks me up with his Brit humor. I've really liked all his designs so far. I think I hear my terrace calling his name..lol. ---------------------------------------------- sugrbunny posted 10-13-02 10:47 AM I really do enjoy this show. Here is what I think: Theresa - She's a good hostess although she did overdo it with her hospital visit. The English accented gentleman designer - I do like his work. Chase Dakota - She's the equivalent of Doug on TS. She better just lose that attitude of hers. Don't care for everything she does but portions of her work are good. The handyman - He's adorable, love his accent and he does a great job ---------------------------------------------- countrykid8 posted 10-27-02 04:47 PM The host is alright, she is a lot better than the other lady they had before. Peter-He is cool I've loved all of his gardens. Andrew-Sure he is cute and English but he always seems to mess up the big project. Leslie-She is cool she is my favorite person on the show. ---------------------------------------------- ctkris posted 10-20-02 09:04 AM I think they should show more of the concept sketches as they really look great and then you can see how they go from drawing to the real thing. (like seeing the clay pot sketch and then seeing how they did it) Great Job Peter! love your work! ---------------------------------------------- From: "Mondray Hall" Dear Peter, It's Mondray from Miami-While You Were Out. I just wanted to let you know that my grandfather arrived home last Tuesday and he absolutely loved his new backyard. It took him a while to get used to the different colors but he thinks it's great. He loved the bell, but he said his favorite part of the entire experience was the happiness it brought to my grandmother and I. All the neighbors Your #1 Fan, P.S.- Please tell Andrew that, despite my shyness and at times awkwardness, I really thought he was a hot dude! Just Kidding! ---------------------------------------------- From: Isabella Hi Mr. BonSey, My name is Isabella, and I am a huge fan of WYWO. I want you to know that you are my favorite designer on the show. I love your designs that I've seen on WYWO so far, and to be honest, I watch the show every day and that means I've seen quite a few of them. Hope to see a lot more of 'em in the future. Mr.BonSey, keep up the great work ! Sincerely yours, ---------------------------------------------- From: "KatieMay" My daughter brought me a buffalo pod from the Summer Solstice in Santa Fe, NM years ago. I have never been able to find more these great pods, and the lady who sold them has never returned to the Summer Solstice. Would you be so kind and let me know where I could order these buffalo pods and give me the real name if I am calling them by the wrong name. I would greatly appreciate your assistance. ---------------------------------------------- From: "Kate Lang" Mr. Bonsey, My name is Rebecca and I am 8 years old. I will be 9 in a couple of weeks. I was very excited when my mom told me you sent her a message. You are my favorite designer and I really like your water fountain ideas. I am going to tell my friends at school tomorrow that I sent you a message. Yours truly ps. Peter, this is Kate. It is a thrill that my daughter has made role models out of designers and landscapers, and left Brittney Spears alone. I'm very pleased. ---------------------------------------------- lachanga posted 03-30-03 09:24 PM Ugh ... It's just so hard coming to this BB with the current influx of very young newies inundating the board with posts that don't interest me, drive me crazy, or I've read a hundred times before - if you know what I mean? Okay, having gotten that off my chest. ANDREW: Big and doofy. Incredibly handsome w/ endearing boyish qualities. Should maybe take some Ritalin for his attention deficit. Otherwise, is truely talented and all around nice guy. LESLIE: True rennaissance woman. Extremely talented in many areas. Adorable personality, beautiful inside and out. Gets along very well with HO's too. I don't blame JB for having such a ---------------------------------------------- featofclay posted 03-30-03 08:45 PM I LOVE to type, ctrl-alt-del ! I just saw this thread. This is a tough question though. Let's see: The designers: Bonsey, Peter - Funny & informative. Slave driver ? - I don't see it ! Of all the cast, seems most ready for prime time. I could really see him having his own show. How do ya like them apples ? lachanga ---------------------------------------------- featofclay posted 03-30-03 05:52 AM On the other hand I stayed awake through the whole show ! I'm really getting to like Peter, he is very upbeat and has quite a sense of humor. I also like how he is always "on" - jabbering gardening tips while repotting plants - he's done it on other eppys too. He's the most informative designer on WYWO. Too bad his gardening tips won't do me any good. Don't y'all love it when ---------------------------------------------- cakedesigner posted 03-29-03 03:32 PM Andrew is hot if he is standing next to Peter! But not next too John Bruce. ---------------------------------------------- amatuerdesigner posted 03-29-03 12:03 PM I really enjoy the variety of outside vs. inside make overs. So many people focus on the inside and neglect the outside. Grandma was such a sweetheart and did a wonderful job raising her daughter and grand-daughter! Peter did a wonderful job designing such a nice retreat for her morning coffee. Loved the waterfountain (to drown out I-95 Highway noise!) great idea! The metal palm trees were gorgeous! And I loved the palm leaves they painted on the concrete table and benches! The whole crew seemed to have so much fun during the ENTIRE show (no nit picking or talking about this or that behind each others back) that was refreshing. Just goes to show they can make a show where everyone gets along. How could you not enjoy Peter! The colors looked great - they were subtle and not "over the top" for grandma's taste! This beach/oasis deserves a huge ---------------------------------------------- taytrator posted 03-28-03 10:30 PM I just caught the tail end of the show this week and saw the incredible metal palm trees that I would love to make for outside. Can anyone tell me what materials they used and how they did it? ---------------------------------------------- From: "Sharon Harris" Hi Peter: I just wanted to say how much my husband Mike and I love watching you on While You Were Out. You are so creative, and you make watching you fun. It is apparent how much you love your job. Thanks so much for helping us to enjoy watching you. We watch WYWO seven (yes I said seven!) days per week. Take care and God Bless. Fondly, ---------------------------------------------- featofclay posted 05-05-03 01:30 PM Yowza! I thought this was a great eppy. Leslie pulling Andrew in a wagon, Kung-fu Teresa, Peter Bonsey in a safari helmet giving orders, Leslie being "camoflaged" and Andrew playing along, Teresa and the home owner joking about "Old World Charm" after she lost the first quiz - and throughout the rest of the show, Andrew & Peter joking around the way they always do, "Elephant-gate", Andrew burning up the welding machine, (wish they'd caught that on camera!) Leslie welding, Teresa's remarks about patenting the "vomit" candle, Leslie & Andrew eating the home owners' barbequed chicken... I was laughing through the entire show. ---------------------------------------------- sideliner posted 05-06-03 09:54 PM Do Andrew and Peter seem to get along exceptionally well? I get the feeling that they genuinely like each other a lot. ---------------------------------------------- elegantwhimsy posted 05-06-03 10:23 PM They tease each other... it's cute. Like when Andrew said he had better things to do than bail out Peter Bonsey when Leslie and Teresa were trying to attack the elephant. ---------------------------------------------- posted 05-08-03 12:57 AM All right well everyone has been sending love to the crew and JB, so I decided to do one for Mr. Bonsey. If we have already done this one, just let me know. Here's how it works: Post your kudo's and compliments for Peter. Let's have 20 post from 20 HAVE FUN!!! P.S. I will let you know what his address is, or you can go to Meet the Crew, Peter Bonsey, thenclick on the web address and you can see his email. ---------------------------------------------- posted 05-08-03 01:59 AM * Runs and tackles Peter, knocks him down and kisses his head * I'm so glad I'm first on this thread of love for Peter! Peter ... you are a bright light, such a breath of fresh air on the show. I love your energy, your spirit and your deliberate desire to please the home-owners. It's obvious Teresa, Leslie and Andrew adore you and the chemistry and rapport shines through in each of your episodes. Thank you for your valiant attempt to save Mr. Elephant. ---------------------------------------------- posted 05-08-03 08:29 AM Hi, Peter Bonsey! I love watching your episodes because you are so funny and full of life. Your (usual) rapport with the crew is fun to watch. Here's a kiss for your head-MMMMMMMWWWWAAAHHH!! Don't worry- I won't stick any price tags or care instructions on you when your back is turned! ---------------------------------------------- achanga posted 05-07-03 12:20 AM I think all three of them - Leslie, Teresa and Andrew get along great with Peter. The girls like picking on him (sticking things on his head) and Andrew just can't seem to resist kissing his head!!! I really enjoy seeing Peter's episodes because it's so much fun to see the rapport between everybody. ---------------------------------------------- loriadjcom posted 05-07-03 04:17 PM I agree, they seem to get on exceptionally well. Maybe its because they are both English and live in and around Buffalo. They must have a lot in common. And lets face it, Peter is just squeezeable! I'd kiss that bald head in a second. ---------------------------------------------- andrewrocks posted 05-08-03 09:27 PM ---------------------------------------------- 4nicolle posted 05-14-03 12:43 PM Peter, Pleeeeezzze come to Wisconsin!!! You're designs are truly amazing and creative! You're so fun to watch- your humor, your pleasant personality and wonderful designs! Thanks! ---------------------------------------------- vendettared posted 05-14-03 03:54 PM Hey Peter! Your work is Fabulous!

Just wanted to say that your friendly and charming sense of humour makes you one of the most entertaining designers to watch on television. Keep it up Take care, P.S.

I saw him sporting a Mickey Mouse pin with the English flag on his snappy beret! Anyone who's a Mickey/Disney fan is ALRIGHT in my book! Peter - you come up with fabulous, whimsical, and yet imminently usable designs that really feature the personalities and hobbies of the HOs. I also love the way you keep everything and everyone moving without overly grandiose expectations/projects and without being too demanding. Wish you could put an English garden in my back yard, but I seriously doubt the harsh Vegas sun would be hospitable enough for such loveliness. Guess I'll just have to hope someone nominates me for a WYWO episode, so I can see and experience your genius first-hand! MMMMMWAHHHH - *big kiss on Peter's head* ---------------------------------------------- ctrl-alt-del posted 05-18-03 07:44 AM Peter, Peter, Peter... What can I say? You crack me up everytime and brighten up the television so much that you hurt my eyes. You are a truly wonderful person - hilarious, witty, and extremely smoochable. Congratulations on the fine work you've done so far and keep it up! We love you. - ctrl-alt-del ---------------------------------------------- yellabuttafl posted 06-09-03 09:05 AM I y'all. I am new and I just want to say that I am the biggest fan on just about every show on TLC. As you know, I have some comments on some things. First, THERESA ROCKS!! I absolutely love her to death. And so does LESLIE. I am sorry to say, but I was a little disappointed to see the blonde (adrienne??) and not leslie. If it hadn't have been for Leslie, I might have turned it off. AJ |
Here are just a few of the comments we have received from viewers...
