Oh my gosh. I just watched that. I was thinking of starting a thread about it, but I didn't want to. Lo and behold, HoustonThrills starts it for me ;). I was utterly disgusted by this show! Arg! Bathrooms! :sick: World's best?! Ahh! So stupid! I think I really just hated every single bathroom on that show. The entirely golden one, that super-rich portable one, that one in the club! Yah! I'm going insane just thinking about it! The Travel Channel totally hit a new low with that show. It was horrible and just plain stupid. Those bathrooms were so dumb, too. Just make bathrooms for cryin' out loud! You don't need to make them totally fancy and stuff. Just throw a toilet in there, a light, a sink, and a mirror. Man. Some of those things were outrageous!

The Travel Channel must really be running out of good ideas. What's next, World's Best Parking Lots or something?

Well if informercials on the "Amazing Discoveries" show can sell car wax and videos of how to do push-ups, I guess anything is possible.

Lets see, how about taking it a step further...World's Worst Toilets, and the question is, would people pay money to fly there and see it.

Other titles they could do:

World's Best Sidewalks

World's Best Streetlights

World's Best Sewer Grates

World's Best Pay Phones

World's Best Telephone Poles

World's Best Fences

Anymore? :p (yay I'm suspended as of this post) :D

I saw it a couple months back, good stuff. I would like to go to all those bathrooms, but alas I am a coaster enthusiast, not a toilet enthusiast...

Amy I the only one who thinks that as long as these bathrooms are really out of the ordinary and special, than this show could actually be semi-interesting? Then again, I don't have the travel channel, so I won't ever get to see these gorgeous bathrooms. :(

They were awesome bathrooms, but a couple were disturbing. I wanna see the bathroom made of gold and the one with the waterfall.

I can see that none of you fools belong to TEoA (Toliet Enthusiasts of America) you guys just saw the finest in bathroom technology and you just scoff at the greatness of them. You guys need to learn more about toilets at [url]www.ihavetogo#1and#2forum.com[/url]

I can actually say that I have gone to the bathroom at one of the world's best bathrooms.
I thought that show was cool, I especially liked the number 1 choice with all the gold and the one at that club in Santa Monica, CA.

[B]its better than watching that weird guy with the beard(christopher lowell? i think) make those stupid wood things.:rolleyes: [/B][/QUOTE]That guy is a riot, I think he acts flamboyantly on purpose. I'd like to see a bìtch-fest/cat-fight between him and Martha Stewart and/or Ms. Manners.

(For the unintiated, Christopher Lowell is this highly flamboyant interior decorator who hosts a show called Interior Motives, recently renamed [url=http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/christopherlowell/christopherlowell.html]The Christopher Lowell Show[/url] and calls himself the male Martha Stewart. I think his show is on Discovery during the week at 2 or 3 in the afternoon, its worth watching once just to laugh your head off.)
