There’s another thing that I want to know.. Does the TV show pay these people ? (On a show like WIFE SWAP each family gets $50K) Is it just ego to say that my flip was on TV ? Why else let them intrude on your life ?
Do most/all flips they show get completed ?
Ya gotta know that a certain % of people that they start filming have to be complete wackos, way out of their league and get totally overwhelmed instantly or somwhere along the line realize that they are in way over their head for whatever reason.
They never show those people, do they? I really don’t watch it often, but know it is a popular show. I wonder what % of “flips” they film actually make it to be shown.
I’m sure there have been fights and divorces over this stuff, and someone who appears totally screwed, like $80K over budget, maxed out on credit cards, near broke and stressed out doesn’t make for good TV from their perspective. I’d actually like to see the truth!
I suggest a show co-hosted by Jerry Springer AND Dr. Phil and call it “COULDN’T Flip this House” It would be my favorite show, my TIVO is ready. Guests could be the people whose homes are shown on MTV CRIBS, with their opinions.
(Several other morbid curiousities of mine are where are the stock day traders that went from miilions to minimum wage job AND what exactly happens to a passenger that misses a cruise ship in port with no passport or toothbrush on them. What does it cost them to catch up with their ship ??)
