Windows: Not That Hard!

You really have to have your wits about you when you’re taking on DIY projects, especially when you don’t have a clue what you’re doing. Now, I know cameras are on people all the time, and it’s a very stressful environment…whatever that really means…but this batch of contestants on ‘Jack of All Trades’ just HAVE to be some of the worst. They have qualifications, every single one of them, and I don’t think the show is just straight up lying. Still, they must have lucked their way to where they are in their professions, because seeing them in action? Headless chickens. Headless, legless chickens.

All you have to do is replace a window. People do it all the time in Melbourne. Companies offering timber window replacement have been doing the job for years, and yet Simon seemed to think he could just slap in any old pane and it’d do the job just fine. THINK, Simon! You said in your pre-show interview that you had an IQ of 176 and counted yourself as a natural problem solver. Well, I can say for sure that he caused most of the problems here. Anita had no window replacement experience, but she used a bit of logic and saw that the aluminium window frames weren’t suited to the task. But then you’ve got Kelsie as the team leader for that week, and she secretly has the hots for Simon (everyone knows it), so it was full steam ahead with the wrong types of windows for the frame. The result? Every single one had to be pulled out, resulting in a full refund and a legendary failure.

You could see the actual, professional timber window person from Melbourne there. He knew what was up, but as the mentor for that week he couldn’t say anything. Must be just painful to see people doing illogical, silly things and not doing anything. At least he made it to television though…
