"If she puts shiplap in that castle..."

The user in a viral TikTok in front of the ad for Fixer Upper: The Castle with Chip and Joanna Gaines. Right: The Cottonland Castle in Waco, TX.
Chip and Joanna Gaines have debuted a new show that adds their own touch to another building in Waco, TX.
Magnolia Network's newest series Fixer Upper: The Castle, profiles the couple's attempt at restoring and flipping the Cottonland Castle, which has stood in central Texas since the late 1800s.
However, the new show hasn't gone without inquiries from fans wondering what design style they will implement throughout the building. There are a few of their iconic former methods that fans are practically begging them not to do anymore, and one viral TikTok post by @joshuakeown is letting them air it all out in the comment section.

The clip posted Saturday has over 690,000 views, and the user can be seen pleading with the Texans to not put shiplap throughout the antiquated property.
"If she puts shiplap in that castle," he says. "I'm gonna f***ing lose it."
The wooding siding method was popularized by Joanna on their original Fixer Upper series on HGTV.
The viral post has since spread to other viewers who are littering the comment section with joking speculation based on the Gaines' previously favored "white and beige" and "farmhouse" fashions that aren't as popular these days.
Some comments on the viral TikTok video.joshuakeown | TikTok
Many users wrote things like "Sliding barn doors for the throne room," "I can feel the white subway tile already. Sigh," and are even calling it an "Open Concept Castle."
Some other commentators went as far as to question whether the pair was the right choice for the renovation job.
"I thought the same thing lol does she have the right design style for the project?" one user shared.
Although, a few were quick to defend the duo and note that they have changed over recent years.
If you want to be the judge yourself, a new episode of the Gaines restoring this piece of Waco history premieres every Friday on HBOMax. For Texans up for a road trip, there are opportunities to tour the completed castle and view it in real life, but spots tend to sell out fast.
