Anyone watch Fixer Upper on HGTV?
Comments (458)kroer2016 I'm thinking that the furniture and accessories is available for purchase by the homeowners, but it really is just for staging. I agree about the budget. It always ends up that they misquote because they conveniently find something major wrong. I would never agree to such a purchase without a home inspection and knowing ALL the details possible up front. ******************************************************** Yes, the finished hse is staged for the show and HO's can purchase the items if they chose. If Jo commissions something from a vendor like Clint, that is a gift from FU Curious, other than a piece of furniture, does anybody know what the HO's appearing on the show get financially? On HH Reno, they get $25,000 towards the reno. I'll bet dollars to donuts the home has been inspected and any issues that come up are reality show drama. As an aside - do you notice how often they say 'You know'?...See MoreAnyone watch AGT last night?
Comments (22)I had to go to the AGT website to read Grace's 'story', as I didn't remember hearing or seeing it at all. Apparently she's quite the musical prodigy. But perhaps she would come across a little better when she gets a little older and her voice has a chance to develop more. I always try to imagine myself in one of the judges' seats (yes, pompous, I know), and 'judge' by the quality of the performance, not by my personal likes or dislikes. That's harder to do then one would think! My personal tastes always win out! And that's why I wasn't bothered in the least by the 'glitzy suit' performer being sent home. The background stories are influential, too, Although sometimes I think they dramatize and overplay the sob stories more than they should. But you can't help but admire someone who's pulled themselves up by their boot straps, and is doing their best to have a positive influence on life. They deserve the chance. The talent on this show seems to get better every year! I'd be willing to bet a dollar to a hole in a donut that a number of the contestants will be discovered and move on to bigger and better things, regardless of how they finish up here.

Comments (44)I've never watched Good Bones - the commercials/previews were off-putting enough for me never to want to see it. I do like Sarah Richardson's show, although I do not like the buttons she frequently puts on pillow covers - those are simply not comfortable. I loved Nate & Jeremiah when they were on, but my favorite design show is probably Desert Flippers because it shows houses in Palm Springs that I can relate to, especially now that I have a desert house in adjacent Cathedral City. I've been watching DABL a lot here in the desert because we decided not to have cable here and really do not miss it. Since we have a Samsung TV, we get all the Samsung streaming channels for free, many of which we like. I've been watching Escape to the Country on DABL, which is on a local channel, and while I like the show, I do not like any of the houses but look at them as curiosities. I always laugh when they talk about the "stunning" views of cow pastures - a view I've always hated, having grown up with cow pastures. Parts of England are scenic, but nothing strikes me as "stunning." I have a view of snow capped mountains from my pool patio here, with palm trees in the foreground and around the house. To me, that is more stunning than a cow pasture....See MoreAnyone watch AGT last night?
Comments (18)I wonder what happened to Nick? Anyone know? He did such a good job on that show, so talented, and I loved the way he would get on the stage and 'rescue' a contestant when things got too awkward. Wonder if Tyra will be able to do that. I'd never even heard of Tyra Banks before, don't think I was missing much. To me it seemed like she was trying to imitate Nick's expressions, reactions, etc., but it didn't come across as very natural. I missed his antics a lot. But I love the show more than I disliked Tyra, so I will get used to her. I hope. The chicken surprised me, I thought it was a definite buzzer act, but it was pretty good once it decided to do its thing. It will be interesting to see how they upgrade that act for the next level. Just how entertaining and talented can a chicken be? ? ? I'm with Simon on the clowns, I most definitely do NOT like them! And I thought Puddles deserved the buzzers he got! But that voice was a big surprise! And the brother-sister dance team! Wow! How in the world can anyone spin that much that fast and not be falling down dizzy? Rusty...See More- 8 years ago
