Celebrity IOU

Seriously a multi millionaire has them surprise a future mother-in-law, a brother, best friends etc. I don't bother watching those. I love the shows and I give them a 10+ rating that show heartfelt gifts for working class people that are connected with these celebrities, one way or another. Shows like Snoop Doggs, Halle Berry, and John C Reilly's are examples of such uplifting shows. I'd love to see these celebrities, help their makeup people, or drivers as in Terry crews one, even a great landscaper that works for them. Especially in these days when working classes are having a hard time. Hope you guys start thinking out of the box.

These actors have millions and then waited till they could put the IOU on a TV show? Seems like they should of gave back to their friends years ago. I know I would have.

I'm not naive. I know that the show is basically scripted and the recipients of the makeover are aware of what's going on long before the celebrity and the Property Brothers show up at their doorstep.

Let's face it. No one's house is sparklingly clean all of the time. No dishes in the sink, mail on the counter etc. And not in just one of episodes but all of them.

I love the premise of the show and that the celebrities are doing something wonderful for someone they care about and they somewhat help out to make the transformation happen.

The show usually tries to have the recipient of the makeover show them what's not working for them and asks about what they would love in their new space and it mostly works if you buy into the myth that they were unaware that anything was going to be happening.

I recently watched an episode that I had recorded with Rob Lowe and I couldn't help but laugh out loud. All of the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen were emptied and nothing had been done to disguise it. Please, if you want to try to make me believe something, you have to try a little harder than that. (By the way though I did enjoy the episode though)

I truly love that celebrities want to "give back" to someone who means a great deal to them. But, the "Brothers" turn it into an opportunity to highlight themselves....blah, blah! Their desire to be actors is SO apparent while they constantly and consistently applaud themselves and their accomplishments. Guys, PLEASE stop the "it's all about us" dialogue ...it's old and boring!!!

This show really works. Emotional and touching at times. Not all episodes work equally but this concept really works with the brothers and the celebrities chosen, as well as those they help.
