ParticipantThere is nothing real about reality tv
Much of it is scripted.

ParticipantLike that show “my house is worth what?” They’ll have a “real estate expert” (agent) pull really specific numbers out of thin air, such as spending $10k to finish a basement will add $15k to the house’s value.
We’re addicted to them anyway, just because it’s fun to see some of the houses and decor. It’s also good to remind us of why we live in San Diego, like when we see a house in the south with mosquito netting surrounding the pool.
I recently saw one of those “flip that house” shows with an especially ignorant agent. After the remodel, she told the flippers they could now list the house for something like $850k-$900k. It seemed like they were just out to film the happy flippers’ faces. When the credits rolled, it turns out that it sat on the market for 6 months and finally sold for $740k, and altogether they lost $130k.

ParticipantI 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.
