I don't believe I watched her getting praised on the show, any comments from the guys on the show were directed to the viewers of the show. Sometimes when you are starting out in a trade, you feel proud of your "accomplishments", but after 10 or 20 years in the trade you look back at an item you might of made and laugh, thinking man "what was I thinking". I'm not bagging on you, just don't see a double standard here, I would think it would be much more difficult for a female to work in a shop full of guys. Most shops are just looking for an employee that shows up for work everyday, is drug free, and wants to learn. Not easy fo find!! good luck to her, I just like fact that there seemed to be less drama with her on the show, not the case with the girls on Hardshine!!

Jack,
Yes I was referring to Dean's, dont get me wrong, all the guys there were more than helpful, I really did enjoy working there, it just turned out that at the time it just wasnt going to work out financially/logistically. I did learn a lot in the short time I was there, and was not looking to be "priased" by any means even though I may not have been up to Dean's standards although I tried my best, I just notice that young females generally are not expected to know much, therefore resulting in more "praise" when they do. Either way, the fact that I did leave shouldnt have anything to do with my skills/personality but rather my personal situation....thats life I guess.
