Flipping Virgins - did not despise the father - daughter team but to be honest while Egypt makes this easy I seriously doubt these folks doing this on their own without Egypt.

I just read that we're getting another season of Flip or Flop Atlanta next month. Meh, I guess it's better than Nashville.

I liked the Ft Worth couple more, but anything is better than the OG Flip or Flop.

Desert Flippers - did a great job on the house but I don't get they eliminated that shear wall? So did the new walls have a shear element to them?
Flipping Virgins -Thank you a couple not upset by the poor condition of the homes they found and willing to work hard and I am amazed they made that much money. Egypt never takes into account closing costs and fees when a house is sold that is deducted form the profit and I wonder why?
BTW that engineered floor looked like cheap laminate and not engineered wood.
I sincerely hope those poor cats where taken care of properly. Animal control would have put them down. I was surprised that Animal Control would not take them but a cat rescue did.

Flip or Flop - I liked the samples they used. Tarek can design.

I am sick of the story every time it comes on or there is a commercial.

I'm so glad Boise Boys got renewed, it's a great show. Really nice job on the Flip or Flop house last night, the kitchen was gorgeous. Funny how those old tiles are back in style again...I still hate wallpaper, though.

Dessert Flippers - always amazed at how this team transforms houses and adds the wow factor. I do wonder what they did with the shed.
Flipping Virgins - if I was the one teacher I wouldn't quit my day job just yet but spend one or two summers flipping and when I had enough experience fully retire as a teacher then start flipping full time.
Flip or Flop - I just felt they could have redesigned the laundry/master bathroom/master closet better as to me a small master closet is a deal breaker.

Have been watching Beachfront Bargain Hunt and have been amazed at what people want in their summer cottages. Of course I am showing my age when I use the word cottage since that is what my generation had, not a fancy house that had to match the regular house in the latest and best. The cabinets are outdated...so that will have to be gutted and remodeled..... What, formica and not granite. The backsplashes are not tile....
Seriously, the bath in a summer cottage-- be it by the river, lake or ocean--and basically was just one---with a toilet and a sink and the shower was outdoors. The dining room was the picnic table in the back or maybe in the screened porch. The kitches was primarily the charcoal grill outside.
I just shake my head at the expectations.

ibot2much, the expectation of a summer cottage has changed with the internet and the ability to rent during unused times. They do exist here in New England, but many are being renovated to have more creature comforts of home.

I agree. People who are using AirBnb and Homeaway to rent cottages for their vacations want more of the comforts of home, and places that have these comforts are able to charge more.

I was watching Reno My Reno on Netflix, it is filmed up North, Canada I am pretty sure. What shocks me is the look and feel of the cottages, as I also watch Beachfront Bargain Hunt, and then I realized this show is being realistic in the type of cottages that have been in families for a couple of generations. These are the real cottages and not the HGTV kind. It was fun to watch the reno's much more realistic budget and the actual reno is suited to what is already there and no massive gut job and redo. Most of the renos consist of updating the enclosed porch into a living space or enclosing a loft area and creating a bunk bed area for kids and quests.

I'm so happy that Boise Boys got renewed! To get 13 episodes means that they really resonated with the viewers. That's the same amount of episodes they order for Property Brothers and Fixer Upper!

Flipping Virgins - bungalow across from a college, have seen it once or twice on the show they finally got a mother/daughter team to do the flip. They want to raise money for orphans back in Nigeria. Nice thought. I do wonder how much these folks really do on a flip as it looks as if they only come in to do special little projects and Egypt's manages the rest. I would luv to apprentice to a real flipper as this is something I have been interested in before they started flipping shows. I do wonder though as some of the finishes/details don't look done that well. Is there any AC in this house? I would think all the plumbing and electrical would have to be replaced and undated. What really shocked is the electrical they ran through conduit. There is no insulation on some of these walls it is just brick and they are running conduit on brick. How is that even up to code? Brick also does not have much of an insulation value. Maybe it is different in warmer climates like Atlanta vs further up North.

Flip or Flop - moldy million dollar house in Anaheim. It was a great remodel. I was amazed at the kitchen it looked 3 times as large, BUT no island? That surprised me as it had the space for it. AND no frig? for that kind of money they better put a frig in. Pet Peeve ... why do they put frigs next to a wall making it IMPOSSIBLE to really open the door wide??? That makes no sense to me at all.
HATED the master bathroom shower stall tile. It looked HORRIBLE. Argyle Socks Horrible. It would have been better just to run the floor tile up the back wall. Would have looked TONS better.

I thought that kitchen was almost TOO big on Flip or Flop. And what fool poured that patio angled towards the house so all the water would seep in? Stupid. Their bickering got on my nerves this week. I wish they'd stop.

I wish they'd stop. Made me want to slap them. I am sick of it. I thought the kitchen needed an island. To much open space for the length of it.

Dessert Flippers - this couple works together and has fun doing it. Like their take on this house to reuse the good stuff (the floor) tile and only put in new where really needed. The kitchen transformation was simply amazing. I have never heard of a combination spa + pool but it looked cute.

Quick rant: Why is it whenever I turn on HGTV at an odd hour Fixer Upper is on? I know it's one of their most highly rated shows but c'mon. They show reruns ALL THE TIME now. ENOUGH!

They rerun those too but they run Fixer Upper a ridiculous amount of times. It's almost every day and I'm sick of it now. I used to love that show.
