5. People who buy fixer upper homes apparently don't own any personal objects or artwork. Instead, they want someone to go to a flea market and buy a lot of random farm stuff to decorate their homes. Yes, please nail up a bunch of old records to my freshly painted my walls, that's what I'd love to see.
OMG the time Joanna Gaines nailed a piece of picket fence up on the living room wall. "Rustic" doesn't equal "trash".
I love Home town , Ben and Erin live in Laurel Ms. They renovate homes that people buy in Laurel. I love the history Ben gives with each home. The homes aren't mansions and some are in really poor condition but when finished they are beautiful. They work with every budget. I like the way they actually utilize the stores and craft people in town to make these homes beautiful. Its southern living and revitalizing historic properties, and the way they love their town just makes you want to visit Laurel.
I think at least half if not 75% of the appeal of HGTV is laughing at either the people’s taste, the insane CA prices (indeed), or someone’s design choice that’s questionable during a remodel. For us it’s usually our hatred for how every girl seems to have terrible taste and want “rustic farmhouse,” while the guy wants nice and modern. Rustic farmhouse always wins out because apparently assertive males aren’t allowed on HGTV either. Both my GF and I only like modern, no interest in other styles, so it’s mostly laughing about a lot of poor design choices but we still enjoy watching.
I’m not sure what episodes some people are watching, though, I watch tons of HGTV and every remodel is an absolute horrible disaster piece of garbage before remodel. Even the most questionable and objectionable choices are always better than whatever was there before. I suspect it just hits too close to home for some people as they see their own dated, awful kitchen in the show and it’s offensive seeing someone on TV make fun of it. I guess that answers my question whether people know how bad their house looks or if it’s news to them lol.

Enjoy Fixer Upper, but yeah, me and the wife always look for the BFC on the wall (big f.... clock) as a laugh.

She sells most of that stuff in her store, and the homeowners don't actually keep the decor after filming unless they buy it separately.
I think maybe sometimes they use at least some of the homeowner's stuff, though - I know they do on Property Brothers, they will sometimes talk about a specific piece that belonged to a grandparent or something along those lines.
This channel is more terrible than ever.
It's the same half dozen shows, in blocks, over and over again. I just can't watch anymore.
It's pretty much a 24 hour commercial. Whether you realize it or not, you are being Jedi Mind Tricked into buying, and buying into, specific products and decor.
If next week every show was focused on how great burnt osb plywood countertops are, everyone will all of a sudden need to have it.

Not true.
They never promote: Miele, Sub-Zero, Wolf.
We own: Wolf hob, 2 Miele ovens, Miele washer/dryer, Miele dishwasher, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Sub-Zero wine fridge. I have never seen these on TV house porn.
A BFC with Roman numerals. Because Texans don't need to understand the concept of zero.
And if it's made out of windmill blades, it's even better. Fake ones are fine too. Oh look, there's one sold at The Silos in Waco - imagine that!
My SIL from out of state just had to go to Chip and Joanna's complex in Waco, so off we went. It was like hell on earth. You know me - I love color. I couldn't find A FREAKING THING to even buy in that store - everything was made of galvanized metal or chipped white paint. I finally found a handful of small fake tulips that I could put in a vase and they were at least yellow so I bought them. And stood in line forever to do so.
Then we went to the bakery and the cupcakes had so much icing on them that it was sort of amazing. My gosh, I hate to think of the caloric count. I have a feeling Joanna isn't eating very many of those. I also don't believe she came up with the recipe.
Now my SIL is saying how much she wants to GO BACK next time they visit! Oh my gosh.

I have seen some of those BFCs in friends' homes. I don't get the point. Between my microwave, stove, coffee maker, phone, thermostat and cable box, I feel like I already have too many reminders of what time it is constantly surrounding me.
