This is the first time I have stumbled onto these reviews and it makes me so sad to think that the show appeared as if the hosts were being mean or rude to the homeowners. I can obviously only speak for our episode but nothing could be further from the truth!!!
Paul and Penny were two incredible people that are both experts in their given fields. I guess a lot of what was just Penny and Paul's "friendly" banter was mistakenly interpreted as being mean to us!! God no!! There was a lot of humour... that obviously didn't make "the cut".
We (as a family) had the most amazing experience doing that show. Every single person we worked with on camera and behind the scenes were nothing short of SPECTACULAR!!!
The hardest thing about that show was the actual physical work of the renovations... although, in our episode they will have you believe I was very lackadaisical when it came to doing the actual "renos" Lol 🤣
We did the show in 2013 and here I am in 2021, on here looking for info as we still talk about it and still have people that want to watch it!!
I confidently speak for my entire family that we all learned so much and had so much fun doing that show! If it didn't come across that way... that's a real shame because it was an experience we will all remember for a life time and have a great story to tell the grand kids about how we we on one of the early "reality tv" shows!!
