Can't bear it
I love HGTV. Watch it avidly on weekend mornings while sipping my coffee. When this show starts, I turn it off. The premise is a good one. And that's where it ends. By the time I had seen 3 shows I could predict the entire episode, and often, the endings. Hilary gets a budget that isn't big enough to handle all the renovations on their house adequately. Then, the usual setbacks occur (think plumbing, electrical, insulation, leaks, etc.) necessitating the omission of a key 'must-have' from the homeowner's list. Meanwhile, David shows them a number of houses that clearly don't meet their requirements until the last house they see is perfect in every way. Ta Da. Usually they 'love it' and stay. Well, so would I if I got a cheap, professional remodel and didn't have to deal with a move. Throughout the episode there is bitching and backbiting and general unpleasantness. I find Hilary and David to be unlikable. I really dislike the cookie cutter predictability of the show.score 3/10
