I agree with a lot of the other reviews. I love seeing all the different homes and places. But I can not stand the people. Complain about everything. I am not using that bathtub cause it has a gold faucet and so on. I am getting to where I turn it a lot. I cant handle all the negativity through the whole show. I understand there are things you may not like but these people just acting ungrateful!
... View MoreI have been watching this show for sometime now I am always amazed at why Americans complain so much. Why is it so important to have a granite counter top etc etc. Also, if things don't suit them then they should be prepared to pay more. I have been in Real Estate and realise you can have everything you want if you have the money, if not, just compromise.
... View MoreI have now seen a few episodes of this show, and at first I thought, 'I'll watch at least 10 episodes before making a judgment.'Well, here is the judgment.Each episode contains a family looking for a house. Sounds like a good idea. But where it falls apart is the people.They endlessly complain about the most trivial details.Two of my least favourite quotes from a family on this show are: "I don't like the basement" "I don't like dining rooms. They're a waste of space." In response to the first quote, just don't go to the basement! In response to the second quote, this is a dining room, a deeply rooted convention.But what makes these complaints even worse is that these houses are incredibly expensive. People, you have the opportunity to buy an expensive house. Be even a tiny bit grateful!In summary, this show is full of endless complaints.I wish I could rate this negative with all the being of my soul. 0/10!EDIT: The exact same can be said for House Hunters International.
... View More"House Hunters" is a great show on HGTV with a simple concept - house hunters look at three homes and choose one, discussing the pros and cons in between. Hosted by the lovely Suzanne Wong, there is something very involving about this show and some other HGTV offerings, such as Designed to Sell, Buy Me, and How Much is My House Worth.I think it's the couch potato aspect combined with fantasy that works well for this show and others on the network. We can pick our own favorite house and then say things like, "I knew they'd pick that one," or "They're idiots" when they choose, and we can also discuss how much money we think they have while asking the age-old question, "What is the big deal with hardwood floors and granite countertops?" (Without them, your house may as well go into foreclosure.) And we can listen to them carp about the color of the rooms - as if they aren't willing to paint. When the home owners are revisited in the new place later, we are able to analyze their taste. This all easily replaces looking out the window while the new neighbors are moving in.The house hunters themselves are usually delightful people with whom the audience identifies, though not only. Many of them have pets, and if they don't, they usually acquire them once they move. So one can ooh and ah over babies and puppies. HGTV is onto a good thing.
