So yeah, since I am watching the show (Trading Spaces) right now, and I am thinking with the weird lobe of my brain tonight. Anyway, where do you think the designers and hosts would fit in the major and minor arcanas? Oh- and how would you classify the suits?

Although I'm American, I watch a LOT of BBC America, so I'm actually more familiar with Changing Rooms than I am with Trading Spaces! I nominate Oliver Heath as the Devil. His designs are by far the weirdest -- ever seen that bed he designed where he just decided to put hundreds of those metal screw-eyes all over it? Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen .... let's see .... the Hanged Man, because he has some radical ideas that somehow almost always work. And he takes a lot of flak from people about his visions, which sort of ties into the sacrifice theme a little. Anna Ryder-Richardson as the Star, or Strength, draping a fuzzy pink feather boa around the lion's neck.... Linda Barker strikes me as the Empress type. Carol Smillie as Justice, maybe, because she is the moderator. Handy Andy would be Emperor almost by default -- he's the manliest male on the program. The pairs of homeowners would go on the Lovers card, both in the sense of relations between two people and in the sense of choices -- to rebel against the designer's choice of paint color, or not?? Will they like their room? Depends if the Wheel of Fortune spins their way or not. -- Kyrielle
