In April , both parties filed to dismiss the case , and the terms of their settlement were not revealed. In an interview with the AV Club in , Cenate Pruitt said some of the upgrades were actually detrimental to his home not pictured above.
For example, Pruitt said the show built a retaining wall in the basement that trapped water inside and the basement subsequently flooded several times — he said he was forced to buy a pool pump to drain the inside of his home.
The contractors on the project did come out multiple times to try to help, he said. Additionally, Pruitt said the show planted exotic plants and grass in the front of his house, which was immediately ruined by the Georgia weather. Of the production crew and the contractors, he said: "I'm immensely appreciative of those people and their hard work. I just wish things had been a little better planned.
When the realtor could not find a client for the show, she offered up herself because she had just bought a beachfront property, according to E! The show agreed to film her pretending to look for a beach house even though she already bought one, she said.
Additionally, the realtor said they shot in March and pretended it was summer. Bobi Jensen appeared on season three of "House Hunters," and a few years later, she said her entire episode was fiction. Jensen said she had already bought a new house, and she had to pretend to tour two other homes while filming.
However, what you think is your cutest outfit may not cut it. Before showing up for your first day on set, HGTV producers will instruct you to have a few outfits at the ready. Some of their directions on what to wear are purely for technical reasons. However, some of it is all about getting the best shot possible for the show.
Unlike being an actor on a television set, guests appearing on House Hunters don't have access to makeup or wardrobe departments via Slate. This means that much like your home renovation, your hair, makeup, and ensemble is your responsibility. Applying to appear on an HGTV show is as easy as filling out an application on the network's website. But even if you're on the hunt for a house to live in alone, you'll likely need someone else to appear on air alongside you.
House Hunters requires a "tour partner" and, according to the casting call for Property Brothers: Forever Home , the HGTV show requires "two participants to appear on camera on all shoot days. If your calendars don't sync up, you'll likely get cut. And even while your buddy may not be living in the house with you, it's important they have an opinion on how your house is coming together.
It is a television show, after all. However, it's still your real life, so choose your sidekick wisely. If your best friend has big opinions, it may be best to leave them at home — their own home. You may get your dream home from HGTV, but you could lose something else: your privacy. There are fans out there who like to find these famous houses and snatch selfies with them.
More dedicated fans may even knock on your door and ask to take a look inside via The Kansas City Star. However, for Josh and Jill Barrett, who appeared on Season 2 of Fixer Upper , this intrusion was exactly what they needed.
After unexpectedly becoming unemployed, they started giving tours of their property and even began renting it out for extra cash. Come on in! Obviously, the owners are able to do what they want with their houses.
However, not everyone may agree. We held our breath every time the contractor mentioned an expensive "unforeseen problem. The whole thing was draining. So I'd recover by laying on the coach, binge watching Fixer Upper — a show about home renovations. I'm not the only one devoting hours of my life to Chip and Joanna Gaines.
HGTV told me Fixer Upper is officially the most successful show to ever air on the network, which is seeing record numbers of viewers across the board. It's a huge hit with women ages , but does well with men, too.
But the home genre is really the big genre right now," says Billie Gold, vice president of programming research at Amplifi US, a company that buys commercial spots on behalf of brands. And I don't think this is a phenomenon that's going to die down anytime soon. While Bob Vila is the grandfather of home-repair entertainment, showing us how to do work around the house for nearly four decades, TLC's Trading Spaces is the show generally credited as starting the modern-day real-estate-TV craze.
Vila only had modest ratings with niche audiences, according to Gold. HGTV, which rolled out in , turned these home makeover shows into a full-service lifestyle network.
HGTV and sister network DIY, which is focused more on the nitty-gritty details of home repair, are seeing record ratings right now, according to Scripps Network, the channels' parent company. Leading the charge is Fixer Upper , which follows ridiculously charming married hosts Chip and Joanna Gaines as they help couples find "the worst house in the best neighborhoods" of Waco, Texas, and then perform the renovations.
The whole thing is topped off with my favorite part: Joanna adding her country-chic home decor finishing touches.
