Instant Hotel

We stumbled on this series from Australia on Netflix. First half of the "season" we absolutely loved and binged watched. As we got into the second half the next day, each episode got worse and worse. It went from being focused on the instant hotel owners and their properties to so much DRAMA! Super disappointed in how the series changed so much. I really hope if there is another season, they go back to the root of the show and get rid of more of the drama.

I agree with other reviews...the scoring doesn't make sense. What incentive is there to fairly judge someone else's place of you know you already lost?

They could read the reviews out loud to the group but save the scores until after all the homes have been judged. I would also suggest they do smaller groups or make sure ALL of the contestants have the same number of bedrooms to level the playing field.

One thing I found amusing was that quite often the loudest, most obnoxious people ended up having the least to brag about!

This is a really good reality competition show marred by a confusing and flawed scoring system. The producers need to watch "Four Weddings" to see how to do it right. All the rules were not fully explained to viewers or contestants and the latter was clearly meant to encourage backstabbing. The producers obviously want "drama" but it actually becomes uncomfortable to watch at times. The first group of hoteliers were fairly civil compared to the second batch. Casting was clearly the main criteria for the show, considering the homes all have different number of bedrooms. How can one score fairly if they slept on a sofa or the floor? Shay and Mike, young rich brats, are naive. They opened their parents home to worldwide criticism. Since it was already a cult headquarters - it didn't need help in that department. The two spoiled rich kids also failed to realize that they were painting themselves as ridiculous and childish - a reputation that will follow them. This show has a lot to offer - but it needs to get its act together in the casting and scoring.

This show has grown on me but truly the scoring system is laughable and judging standards do not go deep enough. It's about drama and not truth...hosts should be part of the scoring system by the judge which there should be more than one...the judge should also stay a night as it's a joke they get a vote without it. Unfair system...anyone can rate low to get winning spot in game....it's got a great hook but it executed like a soap opera.

I actually like the idea behind the show. But what the hell is wrong with those candidates? It seems the more corrupt you vote, the higher chances you get to win the show. Does this reflect our current society in terms of selfishness, arrogance and corruption, or is this just a little touch of hyped drama put on top of the series to make it even more exciting? Anyway, after having seen this, I would never ever book most of those "Instant hotels". So I think they didn't do good advertisement for themselves in the end. And the producers should definitely think about a new rating system that is more fair and makes more sense.
