NEW YORK -- Paige Davis is moving out of TLC's "Trading Spaces." The perky host of the popular TV show about couples who redecorate each other's homes is leaving, the cable network announced Monday. TLC said Davis' departure is part of a spring transition to a host-less format.
"We believe that this new creative direction will enable the show to be more spontaneous, focus more on the homeowners and designers, and create alternative home trades in different cities and on opposite coasts," TLC said in a statement.
As host of the show, Davis was responsible for introducing the homeowners and designers, swapping their keys and holding their hands when their newly decorated rooms were revealed.
She began hosting "Trading Spaces" in its second season in 2001.
"I just wanted to take a minute to say goodbye," Davis wrote on the show's Web site. "I cannot begin to explain what an incredible journey this show has been for me. I love `Trading Spaces' so much, and I am very proud of what the cast and crew has brought to you."
Besides "Trading Spaces," Davis also appeared on Broadway in "Beauty and the Beast" and "Chicago."
"Paige helped make 'Trading Spaces' a great success for the network and we wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors," TLC said.
Davis' last new episode will air in March.
According to Page 6, she was quite a exhibitionist too!
Oh really? That's probably why she bend over and didn't worry what showed. Hey if ya have it I say flaunt it. She's gorgeous and I will miss her.
Hubba... Hubba
I appreciated the flaunting. My wife liked her too. I'm guessing the ratings will tank without Paige.
Didn't she get married and her name become Paige Davis Paige?
Or Paige Davis-Davis?
Could be.
According to the Post's Page Six:
"IS it her recent weight gain or her terrible '50s hairdo that cost Paige Davis her job as host of "Trading Spaces?" Davis was in trouble with TLC last summer when she did a go-go dance showing off her tiny thong at the Broadway Bares Equity Fights Aids gala. Recent Internet rumors of a steamy sex videotape couldn't have helped matters, even though no tape ever materialized."
Hmmm. Paige in a thong....
Shame.
Thanks for the tip. But I let my imagination do the "dirty work".
"I love `Trading Spaces' so much, and I am very proud of what the cast and crew has brought to you."
Is it correct to use "has" here, or should she have used "have?" Just wondering which is correct...
You need to post the algore/tutu pic from your profile page for all to enjoy!
On a scale of 10, with Paige vs Katie, I would vote Paige 9, Katie 2.
Sorry. It's one of those sites that subs photos with ads when you link them. I already asked the mod to delete it.
Who is Katie? Couric? If so, a 2 is too generous. She's a washed up hag.
Maybe he's the next host.
Do you recall the slumlord stories from his tenants back in the day? Something about faulty plumbing....
have...because "they" brought to you. So "they have"
I think Algore and Naomi Wolfe could be the next hosts for Queer Eye.
Such retoolings rarely work. My guess is it gets one more season after this one, and then gets canceled.
That said: Ohhh, Geneveive....
Which one is Geneveive?
The wacky one with the huge breasts that always runs around barefoot.
All I can picture is the dudes for some reason. Frank, the fatty who wears capri pants and the ponytailed poofer whose jeans are 3 sizes too tight.
Oh, and the red-headed southern belle, who I thought was very attractive.
DOn't know if you've seen it yet, but Genevieve has a new show on TLC called " Town Haul" where they redo an entire town in a months time with the townspeople's help.

Genevieve Gorder
thanks for posting the pic. Nice gal, but I prefer Paige and the red-headed southern girl. The black gal with the short hair was a dud. Couldn't design her way out of a paper sack either.
I prolly won't watch that one much either.
That's ok. TLC will get lots of mileage out of reruns.
Thank you!!! Just checkin'. :)
Me too!!!
My daughter says, "Bring back Alex!"
Another example of how resourceful freepers are.
bump - perky, fresh, and the best
Sorry I can't source it, but I heard the ratings have already tanked. Ironically, I'm typing with my Trading Spaces t-shirt on. But, they really, really need to up the $1,000 and get rid of Kia and some of the other losers.
