Okay, TV is so boring lately that I have resorted to watching numerous first-runs and re-runs of House Hunters. I've always liked this show but wondered what the real story was behind it. Now this week it was revealed by one of the participants in Texas that they had already closed on a house before they were chosen to be on the show, and they had to find two other "fake" properties to view to make the show seem legit. Does this surprise me? Not really--I always figured that the people participating had already narrowed the houses down to a few and that these were not randomly chosen by the real estate agents on the show. And I have my doubts about some of the woman's story (in Texas) since her husband was a real estate agent himself and they were obviously looking to capitalize on the publicity (and maybe still are).
Anyone else heard (or care) about this situation? ;)
