House Hunters

So I have to admit that the HGTV channel is one of my guilty pleasures. It's all about real estate and home remodels and repairs. One of my absolute favorite shows is called "House Hunters."

The premise of this show is that a home buyer (or two) in different cities around the country are taken by their Realtor to 3 different houses. The audience gets to watch as they tour all three homes. At the end of the show, you find out which one they picked.

For whatever reason, I love this show. I'm not sure if it's because I look forward to being a home owner some day or that I like seeing different home styles and prices or what. But I do know that I like that it's not intense, inappropriate, stupid, difficult to follow, or mentally challenging.

I think the only time I don't like it is when they pick the "wrong" house or when people are being completely unreasonable in their home requirements. For example, there will be a newly-married couple looking for a house with at least 3000 sqft, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, top of the line kitchen, finished basement, etc. A bit ridiculous in my opinion. So perhaps I also like the show because it is a form of people watching...
