Your Favorite HGTV Shows Are All Fake & Here's How You Can Tell

What reality shows do you think are the LEAST fake?

I watch some of these shows to see the home interiors only...I pay no attention to the people and their stories because they're annoying.

She’s a kindergarten teacher and he flips harmonicas on Craigslist. Their budget? $1.4 million

I'm laughing at anybody who even cares about the "storyline" of ANY HGTV shows.... I just watch for houses and decor. Dassit.

I always fast-foward the couples, their drama, the show personality jokes, etc. I just love seeing the house transformations and what can be done with those old houses. I've learned a lot about that.

Every House Hunters couple: "I'm a life coach for my neighbor's dog." "I'm a freelance janitor." "Our budget is $2.6 million."

"i'm a stay at home astronaut" "and i'm a butterfly therapist" "our budget is 2.5 million"

and every couple, “we want NATURAL LIGHT & WE LOVE TO ENTERTAIN “

None of these buyers ever ask about the property taxes.

Scripted of course but I watch for the decor inspiration

My two favorite lines found in all these house hunter-type shows are: Walking into an 18 X 18 bedroom and the young wife says, “It’s a little small” What - did you grow up in an aircraft hangar? Couple looking at a house’s backyard: “Our dog will love this” What - is your dog helping you finance the house?

Used to love HGTV shows, but it DID get annoying and repetitive. The worst was "I don't want this beautiful, affordable house because of the fixtures" :/ And I was always like "B*tch, you buy NEW ones at the hardware store!" I mean, seriously! A lot of the buyers were so pretentious, it was ridiculous!

The best home renovation show ever is This Old House. No drama, not bullshit, they show you how they do things and it's interesting.

What's not fake is the literally millions of people running down to Home Depot wanting to renovate after seeing their shows.

Hi, I'm Mike, 23, working part time at Wal-Mart and buying my first house with a budget of $2.5 million.

Funny story- my aunt’s house was featured on an episode of house hunters as one of the “other two” houses. The realtor featured was my aunt and uncles realtor and she asked my aunt and uncle if they wanted their house to be featured, as the realtor found it to be cute. They agreed, although they weren’t paid, and were asked to remove any personal photos while the cameras were there, and the filming in their house only took 25 minutes as the couple had already selected the home they like and were acting the whole time. However, my aunts home actually sold the next week after the filming

Chip looks like a guy who is really working, dirty clothes, sweaty etc, Jonathan on the other show, is always completely clean, hair combed, acting like he is being found working, total fake.

Typical show: We'd like 3-4 bedrooms and at least 2 bathrooms In the center of town near shops and bars Modern amenities but old fashioned local charm Dishwasher, full size fridge, large kitchen Outdoor space like we had in Dallas A view An office (because I'm a travel blogger and work at home) Room for our two dogs A room for all the guests they are going to have Oh and we're in AMSTERDAM and have a $200,000 budget.

Buyers: we need 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a pool, a huge yard, must be close to the beach, has to have granite everything. Agent: what's your budget? Buyers: $150,000 and not a penny more

I mean...did anyone think that every new home search ended at exactly 3 homes to chose from? lol
