I have watched that show – sometimes it is entertaining, sometimes it is pretty bad – my favorite is how they refer to coming in “under” budget. The family may have a 600K budget, they find a 450K house and put in 125K in upgrades – then the host proudly announces they have “saved” 25K, as if they were required to spend the whole 600K – sometimes they are more careful and word it as just being 25K underbudget.
It is similar in the My House is worth what show, when they tell the person the appraisal, if the value is estimated as higher than what they paid, they tell them you have “made” xx dollars – it must be great, bring in a hand selected appraiser (realtor in that show), he/she tells you what you want to hear, and poof, you instantly have that money in your hand!
As long as you remember who are the sponsor’s of the shows they are pretty funny.
