Love It or List It Vancouver

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.

Shetor19 wrote that he disagrees with the detractors. These people and their "professional" contractors should know building codes before they take on a project. They should investigate all the aspects of the project before making promises to the home owners. Like checking ceiling spaces to ensure a wall is not load bearing before saying they can provide an open concept.

I worked for 30 years as Property Manager and if I used a contractor who wanted to change his quote because he didn't anticipate a problem, I would never use him again.

Also if I was a home owner and Jillian spoke to me the way she speaks to some of her customers I would quickly send her off the property for good.

Not a fun show.

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.

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 love this show, I think Jillian and Todd are very funny and natural, they are made for each other, the perfect complement, and make me laugh all the time, I think humor is very important in a show, not everything must be seriousness, this is entertainment. And they are professional too, the results are at plain sight, the good taste. I think is a very successful program. I hope to see this show for many seasons more.
