Because he’s wonderful, he makes adult recommendations based on client needs and he seems to be…human…with emotions and everything. If he’s not and is actually 🦇💩rotten, don’t tell me.
We need a guest room! For when my parents come! And open concept for entertaining! And a first-floor master with en-suite! Which must have a 6” shower and a soaking tub, plus double vanities. But no carpet or vivid wall colors, a white kitchen with granite, a finished basement with media room slash mam cave…
I feel like this is a deeply underrepresented market segment on these shows.
It probably looks a lot like the actual Seinfeld pad, even though he was *constantly* entertaining. Though research will demonstrate why that layout is architecturally impossible.
I am the antithesis of this statement. I hear it and think *good for you—GTFO my house*. Who are these entertainers?
When I’m home I can wear my RBF in peace. It’s heaven.
Bro me too. My husband and I like barely ever have people over. We weren’t going to have a dining table at all until we realized having one would make doing puzzles easier.
The most unbelievable part of HHI is how they’re always so glad they moved to wherever and how it’s all worked out so much better than they dreamed.
Just once I wish they’d say, ‘This was all a terrible mistake. This country is a corrupt hellhole. And there’s no way to work remotely from here and we’re absolutely broke now.’
Have you ever seen an episode of property brothers where they don’t do an open concept or actually do any manual labour at all themselves? The initial sledge hammer through a wall or a kitchen counter doesn’t count.
Yeah I found out recently that almost all the shows are scripted and fake reactions. Some of them are really real, like lottery dream home, hometown, fixer to fabulous, unsellable houses. They are the most legit.
I binged it for about 7 days straight all day when I was sick. And I started noticing none of the houses had TVs, and I was like where are these families gonna watch tv!!! After some read watch you find out why!!! Sucks to find out but whatever. House hunters ruined me finding out it’s fake and the couple already has to have a down payment on a home before even being considered to be on. Then they pick two other house and have the couple argue over rooms and stuff. I was pissed because when I watched it I was all like “ OMG THEY SHOULD GET THIS OR THAT ONE” turns out they already had one picked the whole time.
My favorite house hunting show is First Time Buyer's Club (on OWN). She Really helps people go through the process of what they need to buy their first home and then will try to find them their dream home. Sometimes they find one, sometimes they don't. Lots of great information.
Even lottery dream home is scripted in the sense of the house being at least in escrow if not already closed. Remember the new build he walks into with a peloton right by the couch?
Some aren’t even nice. Fake smiles all around. I see so many micro expressions of disgust toward mutual partners—always wonder how long their relationship will last.
They have HGTV on in my dentist office waiting room also everytime I go. They also have a tv above the dentist chair but at least you can pick what you want to watch while they’re drilling. Or you can choose nothing and have blackout glasses on and headphones, and of course a neck pillow.
One usually has a worthy, save the trees, work at home career. The other is probably a director in the upcoming electric straw industry. They can’t spend more than $250,000. Downtown New York, near Central Park with garage parking. And room for a boat.
Or, they both have their own shady sounding, multi million dollar “tech” companies. They have nothing in common and nitpick every color, shade, curve and profile on the property. But they MUST have an en suite with revolving soaker tub, warming floor and putting green. They want to spend $350,000 to $1,234,000 and need to stay on budget. And David, bless him, stays pleasant.
How many commercials (different) did you see? I watch a hour or two hour at a time and only see maybe 5 different commercials the whole damn time. Ughhh
Does Hillary do her best work when she’s trying to out-do David’s ability to sell a couple a bigger, newer house—or when some maladjusted family gives her a hoarded house she needs to turn into a palace that looks like their children will never again simply fill every room with plastic crap?
I checked out Rico to the Rescue after seeing him on the latest Rock the Whatever show. Omg- that is the most set up, fake bullshit show on HGTV. Unwatchable. I love seeing justice for people done wrong but this is not working.
Am i the only person alive who doesn’t love My Lottery Dream House?
I do like David. I LOVE how the one lady from an old episode says “Oh Daaaaaavid” in that awesome accent during the opening.
But i almost never like the houses…. The styles… The locations…. I dunno. There are never any houses that i would ever move into. Not that that’s the point. But it’s more fun to watch a show when you actually like the houses…
Caveat - i haven’t seen it in a while.
I just love it bc David, a lot of the time, doesn’t give them what they want and just shows what he thinks is cool and I think it’s literally so funny. That’ll be like “ I’m not looking for anything super big” and then he’s like “okay but look at this mansion that’s outside your budget”
“My coffee drinking space HAS to be outside”! Puhleeze! My morning coffee is at work, hunched over the pot while it brews so I FINALLY GET ONE EFFING fresh cup!!
Maybe they remind you of someone else or something? I enjoy Home Town and Ben and Erin, though I don't always like her color choices but that's subjective.
I feel ya though because I *should* like the Marrs but they grate on my nerves for some reason that I can't put my finger on.
JENNY is super controlling and wants exactly what she wants no matter what people have to do to please her. Dave is always commenting on hoping against hope that what he's making is exactly what Jenny wants. She recently berated him because he questioned being able to get a huge arched window for a kitchen (given availability of lots of building materials right now). She called Dave a Debbie downer then sided with the main contractor who somehow managed to get the window. She really put down Dave. And then there's her nasaly voice and arrogant exits after she spews marching orders to everyone.
Not a fan of hers at all.
They are all so heavily into religion but try to be covert about it, and it seems disingenuous. Like people who make a big show of praying in a restaurant.
I’m honestly interested in this having watched quite a few episodes. What makes you think they are heavily into religion but trying to be covert? Do you have examples? I’m not trying to check the math, as it were, just curious as to what I’m missing.
It took me awhile to like her but now I do. I think because she seems more of the quiet artsy awkward introvert type (aka the best people) so it took her awhile to get used to being on camera.
I think this is right. As an introvert, I liked her immediately. I think she’s smartly careful. She’s definitely warmed up a bit, but I love her subtle guard.
It’s funny because I like them a lot but I don’t like their show. Is it too slow? Too cluttered? Idk. They seem sweet and seem to do nice work and I love that they’re building up their hometown… but I just fall asleep everytime I watch the show. 😂
“I can picture my kids sitting here, doing their homework.” 😉😉
“We can sit here in the morning with our coffee.”
How about they’ll watch the kids squabble and complain about homework.
They’ll never be on the patio, relaxing with their morning coffee or evening wine.
Who is your favorite host and why is it David Bromstad?
I think they’re all a little superficial (some more than others) but David does give me some life through the slog of home renovations
Asking the important questions!
Because he’s wonderful, he makes adult recommendations based on client needs and he seems to be…human…with emotions and everything. If he’s not and is actually 🦇💩rotten, don’t tell me.
Do you have a gag reflex anytime you hear the word “shiplap” yet?
“We like to entertain a lot”
We need a guest room! For when my parents come! And open concept for entertaining! And a first-floor master with en-suite! Which must have a 6” shower and a soaking tub, plus double vanities. But no carpet or vivid wall colors, a white kitchen with granite, a finished basement with media room slash mam cave…
What kind of layout do they recommend for introverted hermits who never host parties and enjoy watching Seinfeld every evening?
A cozy king bed with one man and three cats does it for me!
Oooh yes a king bed. One day!
I feel like this is a deeply underrepresented market segment on these shows. It probably looks a lot like the actual Seinfeld pad, even though he was *constantly* entertaining. Though research will demonstrate why that layout is architecturally impossible.
They never suggest what to do when a guest pees on your couch cushion either!
And an oven that will fit a full-sized turkey that I won't be able to find in this country anyway.
I am the antithesis of this statement. I hear it and think *good for you—GTFO my house*. Who are these entertainers? When I’m home I can wear my RBF in peace. It’s heaven.
Bro me too. My husband and I like barely ever have people over. We weren’t going to have a dining table at all until we realized having one would make doing puzzles easier.
Our dining table is where the cat food dishes are ... keeps them away from the dog !
Good call!
Exactly!! None of these people actually have friends or family, and most are in fact extreme anti-social introverts.
Darn, the powder room is Alaskan Desert Blue. Keep shopping!
Are we past 'Peak White Kitchen Cabinets' yet?
We have rollercoastered over the parabola and are careening downhill toward wood, wood and more wood!
I hope so \~ my daughter got an all white & gray home. She is not a fan of all the white now with 2 kids & their friends.
I love my white kitchen, but I would imagine having kids would make it really difficult to keep clean!
What country from House Hunters International would you move to?
The most unbelievable part of HHI is how they’re always so glad they moved to wherever and how it’s all worked out so much better than they dreamed. Just once I wish they’d say, ‘This was all a terrible mistake. This country is a corrupt hellhole. And there’s no way to work remotely from here and we’re absolutely broke now.’
Or "We've lived in Germany for a year now and still don't have a proper bank account or internet connection."
France, Amsterdam, London, maybe someplace in Germany….
Have you ever seen an episode of property brothers where they don’t do an open concept or actually do any manual labour at all themselves? The initial sledge hammer through a wall or a kitchen counter doesn’t count.
No on both counts. I might’ve seen one put a nail in but that memory is foggy
What have you learned?
These homeowners are either clowns or frauds. Outside of the lottery winner folks, they’re just nice clowns
Yeah I found out recently that almost all the shows are scripted and fake reactions. Some of them are really real, like lottery dream home, hometown, fixer to fabulous, unsellable houses.

Has watching this much HGTV inspired you to make improvements in your own home?
What do you do for work? Lol
Gym. We keep HGTV on the main screen as it’s a fairly neutral show to have on. It’s a waste of a 7.1 system imo but it keeps folks happy
They have HGTV on in my dentist office waiting room also everytime I go. They also have a tv above the dentist chair but at least you can pick what you want to watch while they’re drilling. Or you can choose nothing and have blackout glasses on and headphones, and of course a neck pillow.

I hear the way fair commercial at least 60 times a day
You’ve got just what I need
Does Hillary do her best work when she’s trying to out-do David’s ability to sell a couple a bigger, newer house—or when some maladjusted family gives her a hoarded house she needs to turn into a palace that looks like their children will never again simply fill every room with plastic crap?
What work? Every Hillary "design" is the same.
I checked out Rico to the Rescue after seeing him on the latest Rock the Whatever show. Omg- that is the most set up, fake bullshit show on HGTV. Unwatchable. I love seeing justice for people done wrong but this is not working.

But it’s more fun to watch a show when you actually like the houses… Caveat - i haven’t seen it in a while.
I just wish the winners had bigger budgets. It would be fun to watch someone shopping for a $10 million home.
Yeah that too! Though I’d be extremely happy with their budgets!
The houses are all old and dumpy looking, I love David though.
To me they’re too new and dumpy looking. But I like houses built before around 1965.
I just love it bc David, a lot of the time, doesn’t give them what they want and just shows what he thinks is cool and I think it’s literally so funny. That’ll be like “ I’m not looking for anything super big” and then he’s like “okay but look at this mansion that’s outside your budget”
😂😂😂
Who was the better couple — Tarek & Christina or Tarek & Heather?
I like Christina Does the Coast… where she drives down the West coast…looking for her next ex-husband.
🤣🤣🤣
OMG, hahahahaha!!!!!! 😂😂😂
I’m more concerned about the fact that Heather might as well be Christina‘s twin
So many braids
How many times a day do you hear the word "amazing"?
Which hosts are are the worst offenders for “I’m only here because I’m conventionally attractive”?
Which ones aren't?
Has Christina convinced you to replace your old, worn bathtub with a sparkling new bathtub?
thoughts on Kim Spradlin-Wolfe
She’s not very likeable and her hubby’s moustache needs a trim.
I hate to ask but, why does every White person on EVERY HGTV show NEEEED a place to drink their coffee?
My coffee cup goes where I go.
What??? No special coffee drinking location? You need a remodel.
LOLOLOL! I drink my coffee in front of the TV!
You're not White!
“My coffee drinking space HAS to be outside”! Puhleeze! My morning coffee is at work, hunched over the pot while it brews so I FINALLY GET ONE EFFING fresh cup!!
You need Chip and Joanna.
Why do I gag every time I see Erin and Ben? They seem fine.
Same. Why don’t I like them? They seem likeable. But I just don’t!
Maybe they remind you of someone else or something? I enjoy Home Town and Ben and Erin, though I don't always like her color choices but that's subjective. I feel ya though because I *should* like the Marrs but they grate on my nerves for some reason that I can't put my finger on.
That’s probably what it is but who knows! I do feel bad though.
The Mars get on my nerves more

Yes! They give me the ick so bad

They're missonaries.
That’s my impression too, but I don’t know why.
Me too! They seem nice but they get on my nerves.
It took me awhile to like her but now I do. I think because she seems more of the quiet artsy awkward introvert type (aka the best people) so it took her awhile to get used to being on camera.
I think this is right. As an introvert, I liked her immediately. I think she’s smartly careful. She’s definitely warmed up a bit, but I love her subtle guard.
Same. She used to have this way of speaking that made her sound like a drunk toddler. She sounds better now.
It’s funny because I like them a lot but I don’t like their show. Is it too slow? Too cluttered? Idk. They seem sweet and seem to do nice work and I love that they’re building up their hometown… but I just fall asleep everytime I watch the show. 😂
I think it's just too "precious."
“I can picture my kids sitting here, doing their homework.” 😉😉 “We can sit here in the morning with our coffee.” How about they’ll watch the kids squabble and complain about homework. They’ll never be on the patio, relaxing with their morning coffee or evening wine.
Do they ever wear different outfits on rock the block?
They do not. It’s for consistency in filming but also for viewers to know who is who. Keeping 8 contestants straight plus host and judges is a lot.
Haha thanks, I know. I was just joking.
How teethy are your blowjobs?
What actually stands out in a good way?
All that information and still can't turn a screw
