The Stagers
The Stagers is an interesting television program aired on HGTV. This
home staging show
portrays the realities of being a professional
property stager,
working for a large and successful staging company. I like to watch this show more for the drama than for the design, although all involved are incredibly talented. This is truly a soap opera played out on the decorating stage, full of interpersonal triumphs and failures, larger than life personas and some unforgettable dialog.
The Stagers CastThe three main characters on the show include well established interior designer and innovator Maureen Powers, her daughter, Bridget Savereux, and the stand out of the show, Matthew Finlason. All the designers are wonderful, but Matthew shines with his endless internal conflicts, running self-dialog and high drama attitude. That being said, he is quite a charming fellow and it is good to see him making appearances on other shows, such as HGTV Showdown.In my opinion, the real star of the show is Rukiya Bernard, who is talented, likeable and quite beautiful, as well. She is a face I would love to see more of on HGTV or anywhere for that matter! Rukiya, you go girl! The Stagers InformationThis program represents a newer, more experimental side of programming for HGTV. Instead of the endless (and wonderful… don’t change a thing… I am a fan!!!) procession of feel good home shows, this reality based half hour is a dose of slightly sour milk in an otherwise overly sweet latté. People who are interested in home staging should definitely check it out, but even average TV viewers will get a kick out of Matthew’s antics.
