Television Rage

Why, why, why do all of the people featured on Property Virgins and House Hunters International have zero knowledge about ANYTHING re: their future purchase / area in which they are looking to buy?

Don’t they have Google? Or common sense?  Or anxiety about totally depleting their savings account?  Do some research, yo!  Or stop acting so dumb. 

GOD, I AM SO MAD ABOUT THIS!

  2. shaba said: My favorite is when the realtor uses their bank approved $300,000 mortgage as a starting point. Just because the bank will loan you that much doesn’t mean you can handle it. People are dumb.
  3. cadyheron said: OMG YES. and they go in with like the HIGHEST EXPECTATIONS EVER. You are a first time homebuyer, you will never get 3 bathrooms and the perfect island in your kitchen. im SORRY.

  5. fullcredit said: It’s all what the show wants. At least on House Hunters, they’ve already purchased their house before the show even starts filming. Oh, also, Santa isn’t real.
  6. nibblesandbits said: It’s just one big advertisement for home ownership (said by the girl who rents at age 30 because IT’S SMART FINANCIALLY). Truly. The implication is if you don’t see a house you think is worth buying, you don’t get it.
  7. allisonfoley said: I could not agree more… Well, actually, I may be more frustrated by the people who base a $300k+ home purchase on a $5k slab of granite!!
  8. michelleomatic said: Also, why can they never see past ridiculous cosmetic things - paint colors, someone else’s furniture, brass hardware… NO ME GUSTA!
  9. goodeggs said: ditto to all of the above — i hate them so much. so much.
