I enjoy the show however a big missing item for me is what city they are in. I which they would say that in each episode.

I disagree with all the negative hype. The show is realistic in pointing out that older homes often have hidden issues. The disappointment when the remodel goes astray may be sincere or faked, but in the end, bring homes the truth. I find it amazing how often the buyers decide to stay even though there wish list couldn't be completed. Immediately sure they look at far more than 3 new houses but for the sake of time only show the 3. If you've ever worked in real estate, the term "Buyers are Liars!!" This show proves that that "must have lists" become shorter. We don't always know what we want and like most things in life, learn what are priorities really are. Love the interaction, tongue in cheek, between these hosts.

I think no one on HGTV, Magnolia, and any other home show or network can touch the design talent of Hilary. Even when the budget is low she never skimps on the quality of her designs. Very classy and timeless. And she decorates for the clients, not to showcase herself. (hint, hint.. to so many of the designers on other shows).
Of course, the best parts are the first 10 minutes and the last 10 minutes.
Not too interested in the middle parts of the show. For me it's all about Hilary's talent.

After watching the majority of home owners decide to "love it" I found this show to be mundane. No matter what David finds rarely have seen an owner choose to list it even if it is obviously an exceptionally better value than the junk they live in.
Many of the renovations look nice, but they don't include important things a newer home offers such as a new roof, or hundreds of additional square feet. Since I basically know that 90 percent of the homeowners are not going to list it, there is no suspense.
The utterly ridiculous decisions to remain in a smaller, older renovated home almost every time grew tiresome to watch. The home owners obviously staged pros and cons discussions are a joke. The phony "new value" of the renovated homes always show an instant 120 - 140 percent return on investment ROI which is ludicrous.
I also grew tired of couples who want to buy a perfect home in a perfect location without the budget to afford it. They have the appetite of a king but a Charlie Brown wallet.

Solid and entertaining competition show. The two host have great chemistry which contributes to the fun. I also like the contractor who has a great relationship with the designer. I'm not sure how anyone can hate this show!

I kinda like Hilary and David, there is a cute chemistry between them and their bickering is funny. Also, I like the idea of the show, that looks promising. However, homes and homeowners are just horribly picked. They seem to chose most horrible people they could find and that made show almost unbearable to watch. Also, they picked enormous, expensive homes, and instead of helping people who really could need help, they were helping a$$holes who were constantly whining about their "tiny" homes with 2 kitchens, 4 bedrooms, large yard etc, etc... There are people living in shoe-boxes! Most people in the world live in tiny flats, most like 90% families have one single bathroom. And here we see families living in large, and I mean enormous houses with large yards, and complain how unhappy they are with their tiny tiny homes. To add to insult, so many of them were acting like they hired Hilary so they were "disappointed" with her work, when it's quite obvious their house is repaired on the tv with huge discount and they applied for the show hoping they will get it. And their remarks, some were so appalling. One women like lived in large but filthy house and complained with very rude words when David was showing her homes. There were so many unpleasant people I just could not watched the show anymore. I live in a tiny flat, I work a lot, yes, but well, not everyone is lucky. They would be better of with some people who really need help. These are just most awful people they could find and I don't enjoy watching them.

I personally like this program a lot.I just wish that some of the home owners in some cases, would understand that it costs a lot more than what they expect to receive for what they are willing to pay or can afford. Hilary can only go as far as she can with the budget she is given. Especially if something unexpected happens and needs to be repaired. I went through renovations myself and it costs time and money. I don't regret doing it. It came out beautiful.
I do think that the bantering back and forth between David and Hilary is funny and quick witted. I do realize that Hilary gets paid whether the home owners Love the house or List it. I think that Hilary, Eric and the rest of her crew do a fantastic job with the budget that they are given. I think that David is funny with his expressions and his quick wit.

Earlier episodes Hilary accomplished most of what homeowners asked for and delivered (took place in the US). I think the show changed by producers. More of the homes they showed were older and outdated (guaranteed with issues) with some clueless homeowners giving budgets that were impossible to complete what they requested. These homes were in Toronto, Canada. Then the drama starts. Hilary does say that the budget is slim and can't always complete what they request. I've seen later episodes that have newer homes and looks like episodes were done back in the States again.
I think people also need to realize there is a difference between Love it or list it and Property Brothers and Income Properties. Income properties basements are finished with a given budget. Property Brothers for the most part they are updating rooms and will cut costs in order to make the budget if there are issues. Homeowners are also helping which reduce labor costs. For love it or list it there are structural changes, additions (bathroom, bedroom) which costs more with a given budget from the homeowners.
Hilary and Dave have good onscreen chemistry which is fun.

When it first aired, I liked the show, but it's degraded into something difficult to watch. Yes, Hillary and David can be abrupt and snotty, but I am SO over the homeowners. The spouse that wants to stay is always negative of anything David shows them, and when Hillary can't deliver on her design due to bad wiring or asbestos, they b!tch about that, too. Lately, I've seen shows where Hillary has $100,000+ to renovate and she still can't do the whole makeover.
It drives me crazy when David finds a house that meets all the requested needs but the couple still 'Loves' their old house even if there is no more space, just a pretty paint job and new decor.
For good reno stuff, I watch Mike Holmes, Property Brothers or Income Property. Those guys can do the job.

I like the show.
Well, rather I should say I DO like the following: 1.David. He's the best part of the show 2.When they show homes for sale in the U.S. (Those dingy, expensive, urban Canadian neighborhoods all look the same, and are all so incredibly ugly to look at) 3.I like the before and after concept ...(however, the reveals have all started to look the same)
What I DON'T Like:
Does anyone EVER inspect the properties before renovating? Why in the world do they always say "This MUST be done" to a repair that the owner can always do another time at a later date to save on their budget?????? {MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION} ***If Fixer Upper's, Chuck and Jo or Flip or Flops's, Tarek & Christina or The Property Brothers can TOTALLY renovate a WHOLE ENTIRE house anywhere from $45,000-$ 100,000 ~Why in the world can't Hillary get just 2 or 3 rooms done for that SAME $45,000-$100,000??!! And without imposing or exploiting some major crisis in every single episode? ~If it were my home, and Hillary comes to me saying, "your HVAC is outdated and on the brink, so this MUST get fixed, so I'm taking the guest bedroom off the list", I would respond, "I can do this at a later date, and just focus on the renos we discussed!"
Hillary's work always seems cosmetically super-staged, vs. real, structural differences as well. {Did I mention the use of the same grey couch used in almost every episode?}
Dear Canadian contractors, (Fergus and Eddy) PLEASE stop your WHINING every time something needs fixing! ( isn't this your job??...) I prefer the American crew MUCH better..
Or here's another... How about NOT USING PREMIUM DECOR MATERIALS (i.e.: Quartz countertops, Viking Stoves/Ranges) to save some money to make these poor people's homes more functional and nice???? Since when is Maytag or Kitchen Aid, or similar not worth using at half the price?? ~ Hillary uses the MOST EXPENSIVE stuff she can find all the time. I'm not saying use cheap, but come on!!! {I've seen some beautiful compromises on Flip or Flop} I just don't always see the "value" in the work. Seems like the contractors and Hillary come out on the longer end of the stick -a lot.
I feel bad for the folks who don't always get what they pay for.
David, I love you, ~you're hilarious! Probably the top reason I watch the show, because honestly, the project reveals are usually underwhelming and always look the same. ~how about that reappearing grey sofa?
I don't even like Jillian Harris one bit, her design aesthetic is awful, and she hardly does any significant work whatsoever, and she's just plain annoying. Nope, ~Love it or List it, Too can go...

David is at a total disadvantage because he doesn't get to do a virtual staging while hillary gets to do whatever she wants within (??) budget. He should at least get to do a virtual staging with the contestants' stuff.

I love this show!! Yes, sure, the show follows a similar plot outline for each show but doesn't every show/movie to an extent? You're watching HGTV not HBO. I think the show delivers on its promise which is to present familes who are considering the idea of moving to a new home or staying in their current one. At the end, I genuinely don't know what the families are going to do which I think makes for great TV! I've read some comments that say that the familes are dramatic or Hilary is rude. Guys. It's a TV show about house buying/decorating. Relax. I think Hilary and David are hilarious together and they crack me up in every episode. Do I get so hooked that a can't miss a single second!? No. But I enjoy the show all the way through and think it's awesome entertainment. Isn't drama why we watch TV in the first place? Give it a try.

Hillary is hands down the best designer on HGTV. I love watching her transform a hideous room into a fabulous, beautiful space. I would give the show a 10 if it weren't for David. He is irritating in the extreme. I can't watch more than two episodes without having to turn David off. Get Hillary a new partner!

This could be a great show. I have tried to get through it because I love the idea of seeing the finished product and what they choose. However, the soul crushing stupidity of the fake drama stops me from completing even one episode. Do they search for complete A holes to yell and act like a six year old or did they just hit the A hole lottery?
On top of the drama and antics by the homeowners the "surprise" every time something is screwed up is laughable. Here is an idea, how about you get someone in there that has done the job before?
I could not be more shocked that this show has continued to air as long as it has.
WTF HGTV?

For me this is one of the best HGTV shows. There is a very nice chemistry between Hilary and David, and I like the British humor side of Hilary. I find it very exciting to see whether homeowners will stay or leave their current house. Hilary is a great designer, her designs always turn out to be very classy.
Love this show!
Love this show!

Hilary is always lacking on major renovations (bathroom, kitchen, additional rooms, etc) then they " love" the house because of pretty paint and decor. She makes promises that there is no way she can deliver, then gets into arguments with the family. Why is there no preliminary home inspection before she makes her promises? At times David finds homes that are above budget, but it's always exactly what is asked for. Why would someone stay in a home that does not have adequate space just because it is their first home together? That is completely unrealistic. The worst shows are when children who have no financial input get a "say" in the decision. That makes no sense at all. Time to add more Income Property, and bring back Mike Holmes. Andrea

I love the interaction between the two. Loved that Hillary was in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I also love when they travel to new cities! The back and forth between them is comical yet friendly. Keep the series coming!

This show is completely predictable format-wise, especially as far as David's real estate listings go. But, I love seeing how Hilary can visualize major changes to an existing house, and execute them for spectacular results. The show itself seems unfair, as David routinely shows homes outside of people's stated budgets, while Hilary is rarely ever given any extra money, even when a pre-existing building code or health and safety problem arises. To make it worse, she always returns at least her budget in increased home value, and often much more value, which is then used to justify spending over budget on a new home. She should at least be allowed to get an inspection and give a cost estimate. Still, sometimes people will go with the customized remodel, which is nice to see.

I love this show!! I give Hillary alot of credit. Some of these homeowners are ridiculous to say the least especially Sandra in Season 6, episode 6. Her expectations with a $60,000 budget was ridiculous and nothing pleased her. God Bless her husband and children..lol She is what is known as the neighborhood Karen!!
