What is with all the haters?

I seriously don't understand people. I enjoy watching this show; I like going along as people tour a variety of homes. I feel happy for them that they're able to get a home they probably normally would not be able to afford, and I laugh along at David's silly jokes. They're harmless, and it certainly seems as though everyone he's worked with really likes him and enjoyed spending time with him.

For the people complaining that "someone who won only a million dollars is buying a $600,000 home." Nearly every episode I can remember, the couple or person STILL WORKS. They're probably using their winnings to make a sizable down payment while still making a mortgage payment. And yes, so large chunk of their winnings helped them get into a home. What's wrong with that? It seems quite a lot of them are also in multi-family abodes, like my own, where a mom or parents live with, etc. But even if they're spending that money with no other income, IT IS THEIRS TO SPEND.

And the other side, those complaining because they only want to see big fancy mansions being toured. And this annoyed me even more because I personally know how I would feel; for some people a nice, three bedroom home in suburbia IS a mansion. Maybe their family of four was renting a one bedroom apartment prior to winning, so a three bedroom home that they can call their own probably IS their dream home. And it may very well be a mansion to them. Why can't you be happy for them?

As for people complaining about taxes and tattoos and goodness knows what else: why are you even watching this show??!

I realize IMDb is a place to rate and review, but some of these complaints seem so personal and judgmental. Not about the show at all, but about the very people themselves. Again, I don't get it.

score 8/10
