Instant Hotel

I actually like the idea behind the show. But what the hell is wrong with those candidates? It seems the more corrupt you vote, the higher chances you get to win the show. Does this reflect our current society in terms of selfishness, arrogance and corruption, or is this just a little touch of hyped drama put on top of the series to make it even more exciting? Anyway, after having seen this, I would never ever book most of those "Instant hotels". So I think they didn't do good advertisement for themselves in the end. And the producers should definitely think about a new rating system that is more fair and makes more sense.

The first season was nice and entertaining, but the players made it feel very "cheap" with dirty scoring and nasty comments. Didnt like they brought the most nasty people from the show to judge in the final. Karma had to work extra on those people...

The second season was better with no "Host scoring" system and much more friendly players. Plus the finalist got 10k to make their place better for the final score, which is nice and fair.

The problems i had with this show: 1. Trying to compare a giant mansion in the jungle to a tiny house in the suburbs, isnt really fair. 2. People giving low scores just because they hate the owner or use some kind strategy to win.

I really the show keep it coming :)

5 pairs of Australians take turns hosting each other at their respective vacation rentals all around the country. After each stay, they rate the accommodation (as owners, as the folks staying, and a judge who tags along), hoping to win the competition.

The couples are pretty varied (old, young, mother/daughter, same sex), and, as the show moves along and we get to know them, some of the realness comes through, which, for me, was the most entertaining. The snarkiness and maneuvering is more pronounced as we reach the end (some of them more subtle than others). most notable is the discussion about who will get the master bedroom at each property.

One thing i might change (if i could) in future iterations would be to keep the ongoing scores from the teams. while it fueled some competition-related upsmanship, i think it would be more dramatic to reveal these more near the end.

The personal pride each couple takes in their home is also interesting. The properties are pretty varied as well. A decent, enjoyable watch.

I started with season 2 on accident and absolutely loved it. It showed in depth the beautiful houses and the people were all quite enjoyable to watch with little drama. After finishing the season I decided to watch season 1 assuming I would love it just as much.. boy was I wrong. Season 1 is pure drama (which I usually can stand more than the average person being a reality tv junkie) but this was bad. The contestants were rating the houses unfairly and it was essentially a popularity contest at the end of the day, which sat wrong with me. I could only make it through halfway and I had to stop because it was so painful to watch and I genuinely hated almost all of the contestants to the point that I lost all motivation to start the second part. If you're gonna watch this show just go straight to season 2, which was delightful and had some major improvements from the previous season.

Honestly just clicked on it for background noise but found myself binging it. The casting was brilliant. The people casting knew what they were doing, kinda had a mtv real world vibe to it. Not the show but the cast. You had your villains, snobs, hippies etc. that's what kept me watching. Loved the back stabbing and just the whole vibe of the show. Couldn't wait to get to the next episode. Also can't wait for hopefully a 2nd season. Good job casting crew. Bravo.
