It started with one show and I guess I got addicted. Along with a nice bottle of wine, this is my go to channel; a channel I know I can count on to have something good on. HGTV isn't always all fun and games though. Sometimes the buyers make it almost impossible to find their dream homes with their budgets, and sometimes they just make stupid choices. Don't get me wrong, there are some good ones; however, I'd say about 70% of them are annoying/unrealistic. A good portion of the time I definitely make different choices than the buyers. Let's be real though, I pay way more attention to the houses and the hosts. Some of these places come straight out of my Pinterest boards. You'd think I'd get sick of constantly watching the same shows time after time, but for some reason I'm hooked and I keep coming back for more.
1. Oh my goodness, Chip and Joanna are so cute together. Like seriously, how are they so good together? They're such relationship goals.
2. Ouch....I wonder how they're going to renovate this one; it's a disaster.
3. Okay, this person has way too high of expectations for their budget.
4. I wonder where the shiplap is going to be put....
5. Wait, which property brother is which?! I stopped paying attention for a second.
6. This couple is really starting to get annoying.
7. Surprise! There's water damage! ....and plumbing problems! ....and faulty electrical! What a nightmare; glad I don't have to deal with that.
8. So let me get this straight, the wife wants a pool, but the husband is so set against a pool. I wonder how big the pool is going to be!
9. Oooooh this is my kind of master suite. I'll have a master suite like this one day.
10. So I definitely need a walk in closet like that....like now!
11. Seriously?! Why are you listing instead of loving?! This house is a million times better!
12. Seriously though....which one is Jonathan and which one is Drew?
13. Oooooh they're looking internationally! I could totally afford to live in the Netherlands. *checks bank account* Never mind...
14. I really hope house number 3 is a lot better.
15. Demo day!
16. I could easily flip houses for a living. This looks like nothing.
17. I would love to have a $2.5 million budget.
18. Really? White furniture? Didn't you guys say you wanted to start a family?
19. Ooooh this one has a finished basement; that adds so much more usable square footage.
20. I really love the look of open concept homes.
21. Surprise, they went over budget!
22. A tiny home is totally feasable.
23. How is Hillary going to add a fourth bedroom to this place AND expand the kitchen?
24. I want to be featured on one of these shows! I'd totally have realistic expectations.
25. Have I really been watching this for four hours?! Oops....
