It's popular, but phony as all hell!

Let's start with substance. It's literally the same show over and over! Open up the walls, put in a island, it's following the same formula over and over. I want to point out YOU could hire a kid to demolish a wall for at MOST a couple of $100. YOU could pull out the rugs and restore original hardwoods for again, a couple of hundred. and YOU could drop a kitchen island in for less than a grand! So why are these guys charging upwards of $100,000 for those formula things on their show? I can go buy Island bases for $200-$800, and then put any number(1000's) of tops on them for $200-$800 so why are the ones they show on here always at least $3500? I mean yes, they're out there for that and more, but who needs the Gaines to go buy a kitchen island? It's also my understanding the pair are only present while TV cameras are filming, which I had always suspected, but now is confirmed.

Ohh and Chip plays duffas wonderfully. Joanna eye rolls wonderfully.

score 4/10
