Despite her show’s first-time nomination in the Instructional/How-To Program category, Marrs expressed reservations about attending the event.
Nominated alongside “Fixer to Fabulous” are HGTV’s “Windy City Rehab,” Magnolia’s “Fixer Upper: The Hotel,” Netflix’s “Hack My Home,” and Roku’s “Martha Gardens.” Despite the stiff competition, the reserved Marrs has been focusing more on personal concerns than industry accolades.
Jenny Marrs’s Unconcealed Reluctance to Attend the Emmys
Popular for being real and authentic, Marrs unveiled her true feelings on Instagram a day before her flight to Los Angeles for the Emmy Awards. She confessed that she was “dreading” the trip, revealing she is not much of a fan of “fancy” events and was reluctant to be separated from her five children over the weekend.
Marrs gave fans a glimpse into her preparation process from her family’s farmhouse in Bentonville, Arkansas. Writing over a photo of the three dresses rented from Rent The Runway, Marrs mused, “Who are you wearing?” Her response: “Rent the Runway. I do not like fancy events and am dreading tomorrow, even though it’s supposed to be exciting.”
Baring Her Soul Before the Flight to Emmy

Marrs remained unfazed when “Fixer to Fabulous” secured an Emmy nomination. She was equally excited about her children winning their basketball tournament games the same weekend. Marrs extended her gratitude to everyone who contributed to the success of the show that has been in the works since 2019.
This Emmy nomination comes as the Marrs celebrate yet another milestone; their show was officially renewed for a sixth season set to air in the fall. When the Marrs finally touched down in LA, they shared their joy on Instagram.
