I imagine the show is pretty much scripted with most work being done by a staff of people off camera....just like the other shows.

I like her though, she seems real down to earth.

She was originally based in Toronto, i think she did a whole 2 or 3 seasons there. Then she branched out to Cincinnati. I remember shows in Washington D.C., Dallas, Austin, Miami, and Hamilton Ontario as well off the top of my head. Pretty good show.

I just personally don't like the name of the show. I don't know why I find it to be such a dumb name.

I like the way she handles the couples as far as their wants and what they can actually afford ... they WANT ... everything ... umpteen bedrooms, full basement, gourmet kitchen, a man cave. Their budget will be $125k. She does have patience with the property virgins.

It is my favorite show on HGTV right now. I'd want her to be my agent, and I want that Holmes guy from Holmes on Homes to build my next house.

She is good at putting people in their place without them even knowing it. LOL
...and yes, the eppisode with the blond bissh was annoying, I hated her, and the husband was dumber than a bucket of rocks to be with her.

BTW, I like how as the years goes by, rooms are called something else.
spare room = office
basement = man cave
den = media room

ugh, who sits around and think up this stuff...

Actually I have the feeling some rooms have several names whatever era we're in.
I personally still wonder if the small room next to our living room is a powder room, a half bath, a bathroom, a restroom... or a toilet or WC, "European style"!

I thought the show was 100% scripted, meaning that the people who are being "shown" the houses have already been to closing, and have decided on a house, which is usually the one that decide on the show

The whole showing them the houses is just a ruse for TV, but it's still a good show
