The old show also revealed more "up a creek without a paddle" situations (more interesting to watch). It must be the difference in production teams and editing between A&E and TLC. It's too bad Kevin didn't return - he was half the fun.

The sad thing is that (surely in the interest of hype and ratings, if not ego-driven) they bought the house for $135K, estimated that they added $30K (which is likely conservative based on what I saw) and then listed it at $219K. The home actually sold in Feb. of this year, even though it was apparent that the work/filming was done last summer from the College World Series side story. The home was sold for $175K (not including comissions, which would take more than the remaining $10K profit they estimated. He claimed he has never lost a dollar on a deal, so I hope he got paid well from TLC and was able to apply that to the profit on this deal, or he can no longer make that statement!
