Uh-oh, Julia…you are opening another can of HGTV worms! If you are struggling to put your best forward, then you might be told to fake it until you make it. I wouldn’t be either – it did not add *that* much space to the kitchen and a second bathroom for a family of five would be far preferable to a smaller furnace IMHO. I record the show, watch the beginning for the issues, walk-thru and budget, then fast forward almost to the end to see the best house and then the reveal. Do you REALLY expect the HGTV crew would pull up to your curb and announce you as a winner? She makes a sacastic remark (in fun) about her being able to sell him with just a little fixing up–and he is clearly ticked and charmed by her remarks. People are totally into Love It or List It! I’m BACK with another recap of Love It Or List It Vancouver! They’re not documentaries, they’re entertainment. The network decided that the “list it” recording was the best hence aired it although the couple loved it thus stayed in the house. If that were the reason, why would HGTV be purchasing and airing the shows at all? I am tired of hearing, “oh, we did not expect this bearing wall …” She should talk about the value of an engineer to evaluate her designs and discuss the structural issues BEFORE taking a hamer to the old walls. This includes Love it of List it too/Vancouver and I’ve heard that Property Brothers are filming out here too. What i was thinking was that they should do a big long kiss on one of their episodes. I agree – it is totally ridiculous a homeowner can ask for three floors to be renovated and then give a budget of $35K. It’s just a show! He has to take the owners through several houses until they find one they want to move into and sell their current house. Ancient. So stupid. Love it or list it, this couple wants to stay on in their neighborhood. i love this show and am entertained when i watch it seeing how those folks live. Or, y’know, just Make it a half-wall or a see-through wall (like a bookshelf) or something similar. sproat The show also hires people to be the REAL designers. Love it or List It: do the homeowners sell their home in time enough to buy the new one? It boggles my mind at the prices and I am always wondering what these people make a year to afford them???? what were you thinking? They should be filming “Hoarders” in some of these houses. I have to wonder about things like pulling permits and putting together a design plan, which can both take weeks and would seem to require an inspection of the structural stability of the house. My god. His designs are always fantastic, however!!! As it turns out, they have to bicker for the show to have some drama. I caught a single episode today and immediately google searched “love it or list it bad acting” and this site was the first hit. I saw an episode of Love It or List It Too/Vancouver the other day and while doing the renovations they discovered the furnace was broken/on its last legs. Otherwise, call it what it is…. We’ve done THREE separate renos, and each time it’s played out like a Love it or List it episode. I would like to know why Hilary never get’s the Home owner what they want in there home, and never has enough money to finish but she always have money to but new appliance’s and other stuff , I think I would want my house done . If the producers actually showed the homeowners making the move to the house for which they decided to “list it” I might be more impressed with that ending. HGTV pre-selects their winner(s) based upon income, zip codes and background checks. This show is HORRIBLE! Same with INCOME PROPERTY. If people think that all their wishes can come true their not living in reality by far. I still prefer David and Hilary. Hillary’s team “discovers” that there was a major fire in the attic no the owners had no idea. One person said that his uncle and aunt were featured in one episode in which they had to record both the “love it” and “list it” endings. What I didn’t understand at all was if they already had *most* of this really great kitchen, why not just MAKE THAT THE KITCHEN???? It is probably cheaper for HGTV to buy access to the shows. If I watch it at all I watch it with sound off…especially how rude the man is…if it was real estate in the real world he would be fired. I love the property brothers too! But I dislike the Property Brothers because it also seems so staged and I really don’t like their designs and the fact that they sort of strut like pretty boys. I do not care for the hosts and their banter. Gak! I really like the original love it or list it~ I was really excited to see a Vancouver version as that is where I live. HGTV pays the production company for the right to air them. I don’t really understand how it’s legal for them to fix things to the extent that they have. It was. I listed my 25 year old 2 bedroom condo a few years back for $499,000 and had people lined up to buy it because it was priced so “low”. Although I do get a kick out of clueless Americans who think no one can live without them demanding huge American-style kitchens, dining rooms, and multiple bedrooms for “when our friends visit.” Yeah, your friends are going to fly from Seattle to Costa RIca for the weekend just to eat dinner and sleep in your showpiece getaway. That was another tip that more might be staged than I first thought. Vancouver is a gorgeous city, which is why the houses are soooo expensive. Please produce more House Hunters . The one exception that felt real was when Hillary was snarking to the stand in designer that Desta NEVER had her over for dinner and the stand in designer said how fun it was to come to Desta’s house and she was there often and Hillary seemed to be truly annoyed by it. Most of us may not have been around for the scandal described in Quiz Show, but it was certainly considered a prosecutable scandal to lead the public on to root for different quiz show contestants when some were being fed the answers. I can see why with a title ending of “too” one might think the hosts have been replaced. the way they go back and forth with the comments and deal with their frustrations is entertaining. This seems to have caused a lot of viewer confusion and angst. He’s a jerk. Even appliances have to be covered!! i have a good chuckle watching them. I think the bickering is endearing. don’t tarnish their reputation. Just like House Hunters. What bothers me most is that there is always a huge problem with everyone’s home and a big part of the original plan has to be taken out. But it will not be the same as the old one. And I don’t care how or if it’s faked (with Hillary and David anyway). My husband and I watch this show occasionally. When the ex and I bought our second house (in 2007) we had part stainless steel and black for our appliances. That’s why I watch the show. Hillary and Jillian are both amazing designers. 4. its too formulaic. I would love to see an episode where hilary uses some of the homeowners things instead of spending money on new art/furniture/decor which would allow more of the money to go towards the reno problems; some of the homeowners have a nicely put together house. But constantly, Hilary hardly ever has the true budget to get it done and tired of it. no matter if it was fake or not… fun looking at the design ideas…. It drives me nuts. E = eh. I still only drive 15 minutes to work downtown from a safe beautiful neighborhood in the Boardman suburb so I think David’s push for more money is 100% bullcrap (one layout not working hardly means all houses in that price range won’t work; that’s why I viewed so many to find what I wanted (in my case 4 family/living rooms to make a studio, home theater, game room and living room plus one bedroom is a large den/home office). I used to love this show but was very surprised and turned off recently when David showed a house on my street and outright lied about the listed price of the home, inflating it by $40k! Not everyone wants to see their house! or buy the new place. Wish the twins would come to my house. But producers can’t simply bottle that and repackage the formula with two entirely different hosts. A house was shown in my neighbourhood, but it was about 40,000 UNDER the list price. Sincerest form of flattery and whatnot. They only reno a few rooms and the rest of the house might still look like crap, be too small, etc. The only nice places are new ones and stuff in town, everyone here does NOT know how to surf, and there is a very simple pronunciation system that should be followed with Hawai’ian words! I like Love It Or List It ok but it’s been humdrum for some time now, so I won’t be watching it much longer and the last thing I want is a “Too”. First things first - You can check out the blog below, read more about me here, shop my closet here, and get on the list for my all-new presets here! I was surprised at myself at how long it took me to figure it out, and now I loath the show. how boring is that? I am so sick of the bitchy people/homeowners that they are trying to help. This so much! I’ve seen the new one once -it was okay but I’m sure I’ll get used to them. I still watch it but find I am turning it off. So annoying and it didn’t change with new hosts. I’m always rooting for Hillary because she has it tougher. Open floor plans with room for everyone to run around without bumping into walls. Our range on the other hand was AWFUL to keep clean. I like to see the afters even if they are staged! The reality was, the house they showed was 15-20 minutes from downtown Toronto, in East York, and is listed at 750,000. I would love to see some shows based around international design. Good to know! My friend was recently contracted to work on Property Brothers. They are the show. I love Hilary’s decorating ideas – and it’s true, the chemistry between them is wonderful! We have also watched Love It or List It Too/Vancouver and we are not fans of either host. If not then do they use them just for displaying the end product? I think her and David are great and even though it’s formulaic, it still entertains. I was a long time Detroit resident and enjoyed having access to Canadian TV while living there. Now the truth about my writing here is because I want to know if you can help me as well. The person who wants to love it has a meltdown over this news and walks outside. While many of the designs are very pretty and nice some are so also ostentatious and over the top, while others are so cheap it’s tacky. Now that adulthood is here, I couldn't be luckier! They actually do film two endings but the homeowners don’t know which until the show airs. It seemed real and I admired the homeowners on that show . I agree with Jenn, I don’t like the Too show for the same reason, I just don’t watch it! It was not a mere coincidence that at this time, film production companies began the exodus out of Hollywood/Los Angeles and setting up shop in places like Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Detroit and in the Southern U.S. A bit of non-essential information: Even though my sibling is the head producer for several of the movies you see on Lifetime, due to Canadian rules and regulations, as my sibling is a U.S. citizen/resident(even though living in Canada 6 months a year, every year for the past decade) my sibling cannot be listed in the film credits as the producer, only as a consultant. LOVE IT OR LIST IT Lawsuit: Couple Calls Renovations “Disastrous”, https://www.torontolife.com/informer/features/2013/08/22/the-real-world/. Why is it not just as scandalous and wrong when a show presents itself as “Love it or List it?” – with no disclaimers – and leads the audience to believe that a genuine choice is being made, and then has the gall to film two different endings that don’t even represent what the couple does? Yes, I like to see the houses, and can tolerate that the couples are overdoing their reactions to things – made obvious by the repetitiveness of the format – but if they are trying to make reality into more of a story, then I want to know how the story ends. House hunters in the US is repetitive. Hillary on the other hand puts the most important rooms first. I completely agree. So thats that. I am not entirely sure if David is a real estate agent or not but one this is for sure, there is a team of people working behind both of them. That older audience knows better and can do renovations within a budget. Duh!! On the show their basement was refinished at a cost of $60,000, but she told me it was worth at least $100,000 since trades and suppliers will give reduced prices and discount items in return for for recognition at the end of each show. No home owner is that stupid. The Canadian government gives subsidies to ensure that Canadian TV has enough Canadian content. LOLOL What they DO have is a good working relationship and it should be shown more instead of the bickering.
