I like the hosts. The guests acting so hardened on their position is a bit forced.

Thank goodness they're still making this show with Hillary and David because their spin off show isn't nearly as good. I thought they'd been replaced with younger, vapid models but thankfully not. This Toronto show works better because of the chemistry between Hillary and David. They're obviously talented and I have seen them do miracles for impossible clients and budgets. I love how they pick on each other but you can tell they care about each other. Don't feel that with the spin off. The main problem for me with the spin off is Jillian, who's very aware of the camera and playing to it, which is distracting. Don't feel any chemistry between her and Todd.

Since when did watching other people spend their money become entertainment. The mere fact that folks are given the option of only 3 other homes or to remain with their current residence after a renovation is no form of entertainment.This show fails to provide anything other than a documentation of the idiocy of home buyers and willingness to allow home values to surpass the inflation rate by hundreds of percentage points. The show continues to exploit the ignorance of pathetic home buyers through the scam artistry of inflating home defects discovered during the renovation process. In every show there is some form of defect discovered and it must be exploited. In one of the shows they discovered mold and that the cost of removing this mold was enough to completely eat away at the possibility of renovating another project. A simple search on the internet will reveal that the mold removal does not cost tens of thousands of dollars. homeadvisor.com placed the average amount spent was between 1100-3100 dollars. No where near the amount they charged an ignorant couple.HGTV is setting a trend of airing crooks and scam artists as a form of entertainment.

I like the show. Well, rather I should say I DO like the following: 1.David. He's the best part of the show 2.When they show homes for sale in the U.S. (Those dingy, expensive, urban Canadian neighborhoods all look the same, and are all so incredibly ugly to look at) 3.I like the before and after concept ...(however, the reveals have all started to look the same) What I DON'T Like: Does anyone EVER inspect the properties before renovating? Why in the world do they always say "This MUST be done" to a repair that the owner can always do another time at a later date to save on their budget?????? {MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION} ***If Fixer Upper's, Chuck and Jo or Flip or Flops's, Tarek & Christina or The Property Brothers can TOTALLY renovate a WHOLE ENTIRE house anywhere from $45,000-$ 100,000 ~Why in the world can't Hillary get just 2 or 3 rooms done for that SAME $45,000-$100,000??!! And without imposing or exploiting some major crisis in every single episode? ~If it were my home, and Hillary comes to me saying, "your HVAC is outdated and on the brink, so this MUST get fixed, so I'm taking the guest bedroom off the list", I would respond, "I can do this at a later date, and just focus on the renos we discussed!" Hillary's work always seems cosmetically super-staged, vs. real, structural differences as well. {Did I mention the use of the same grey couch used in almost every episode?} Dear Canadian contractors, (Fergus and Eddy) PLEASE stop your WHINING every time something needs fixing! ( isn't this your job??...) I prefer the American crew MUCH better..Or here's another... How about NOT USING PREMIUM DECOR MATERIALS (i.e.: Quartz countertops, Viking Stoves/Ranges) to save some money to make these poor people's homes more functional and nice???? Since when is Maytag or Kitchen Aid, or similar not worth using at half the price?? ~ Hillary uses the MOST EXPENSIVE stuff she can find all the time. I'm not saying use cheap, but come on!!! {I've seen some beautiful compromises on Flip or Flop} I just don't always see the "value" in the work. Seems like the contractors and Hillary come out on the longer end of the stick -a lot. I feel bad for the folks who don't always get what they pay for. David, I love you, ~you're hilarious! Probably the top reason I watch the show, because honestly, the project reveals are usually underwhelming and always look the same. ~how about that reappearing grey sofa?I don't even like Jillian Harris one bit, her design aesthetic is awful, and she hardly does any significant work whatsoever, and she's just plain annoying. Nope, ~Love it or List it, Too can go...
