Love It or List It Vancouver

I always watch the show to see the final "reveal". Jillian seems to have a knack for decorating and the final results are quite impressive. What is less impressive is the amount of money these people put upfront to have the changes done to their homes. Each and every time there is this "eye rolling" scene with all these "little surprises" that seem to crop up on a regular basis ($$$) More and more money to pay for extra unforeseen improvements. It is unnerving at best (Hillary Farr used to always fall short of finishing her projects on her show "Love it or List it"). I would never hire anyone like that. That's a huge disappointment and a let down. I can only see how these people feel.

So who is pocketing all that money. I assume that in the end Jillian gets what she wants from that project but it's all water off her shoulders if the project is not finished.

I have never seen anything like this on Jonathan's and Drew's show. Occasionally, there are things that crop up but options are being given and they work around the issues if necessary. Also, they get a lot more done with a lot less money. So what gives?

Here, you gotta pay more or things get done to a complete 100% satisfaction. And even at that, projects are left undone with all the additional out of pocket expenses.

It is hard to watch the show because of the price gouging and the horrible unprofessional approach.

The banter between Jillian and Todd is quite amusing. The show is true enough to life, that I disagree with its detractors. You never know what you're going to find when you open up a wall in an old home. Also have to take into consideration that building codes are regularly updated and changed. In Vancouver, if your reno involves more than 50% of the living space, you must install a sprinkler system. Obviously, the detractors haven't a clue as to the cost of such undertaking. The building inspector is the law, and your project is bound by the building code. I love this show, and hope it comes back in 2017. It's fun watching Todd and Jillian, they seem to have great chemistry, and I've learned a lot from Kenny's expert knowledge.

Chemistry between presenters is great, but the show seems to follow a pre determined blue print> House in need of renovation>Always an unforeseen problem>Owners,despite living in houses many times above $1MM, can´t step in with extra $10K?! How come?>Something gets taken off the original plan(by the way, the construction manager seems to have a great pleasure in finding a problem and is always negative) I do not believe Jill is not capable of building up some reserve or antecipate problems either with the building or the city Anyway, I love to watch the show,mainly because the presenters,they have good rapport with the audience I believe.

I think the show is great but tired that there are always significant construction errors on all houses that is not realistic nor true! The entire show is just fake - annoying.

I have enjoyed this show quite a bit and it is very impressive how Gillian can transfer ugly houses into very welcoming homes. Todd is a hoot to watch with his witty comebacks and antics. What is getting frustrating is the constant repetitive theme of "hidden problems " that become major issues. I have never watched one episode where the homeowners get everything they asked for. Every show is scripted exactly the same where Kenny finds problems, Gillian pulls out her "acting" shoes and pretends to be shocked, disappointed and angry. It is always the same. Homeowners are providing renovation budgets of 120,000 and much higher, sometimes up to 200,00 but it's never enough. Shake it up a bit. How about the homeowner gets everything they asked for and there's money left over to do something extra for them or give the extra money back. It just seems to be that every show is predictable and never falls off script. Only difference is different homes and different homeowners. Getting a bit boring.
