"near entirety", Friend. I left an AJ loop hole.

yes. In fact the reason I bought the mansion I did is because the entire neighborhood is custom. My parents hood tho, their house is duplicated like 6 or 7 times. Just the house plan is flipped. is gross.

the overland park house hunters episode was pretty lol. let's look at the same 3 brand new cracker jack 3,500 sq ft houses built shittily by probably the same builder. also your neighborhood is going to have 5 different houses total.

they've had several filmed in/around KC.  the OP one that was on this week was pretty sad though, as you described.  2 of the houses were in OP, i think the 3rd was around blue hills country club.

i thought the cerner guy's wife was smoking hot

I'm friends with one of the KC couples.  They told me how it's all rigged.  They don't film until after they've already bought a house.

i can't remember the name of the local woman who rehabs houses and got her own HGTV show, but anyway the first house she did for the show at 28th & charlotte has just been listed for ~$400k

edit: her name is tamara day and it's called Little Money Mansions (LOL) and it's on DIY network (?) and not HGTV

This is true.  And they make the couples walk through each room like 20 times with different reactions and comments and then string together the show.

Also they ply them with alcohol to get them to say crazy crap (which sometimes works).

so what you detectives have uncovered is that house hunters is exactly like every other reality based television show?
i'm going to award you both merit badges for the work you've done here

My buddy filmed for HH international a few months ago. They've been in the house for almost two years. Made them have serious buyers (renters?)  remorse though. Like, they loved one of the houses they looked at that wasn't theirs, but, too late!

Anyways, you guys are right, it's rigged.

how do you conspiracy theorists suggest this all works?

1) random couple buys a house
2) house hunters finds them by luck
3) house hunters asks them their "must haves"
4) house hunters finds 2 houses + 1 purchased home; none of which meets their must have lists
5) house hunters finds random realtor who walks couple through 3 houses

that it?
ever heard of house hunters "where are they now" ? or how about when the couple selects the house and then they do a flash forward a month or so and shows the couple in their new home?

lol sorry for blowing holes in your conspiracy machine

The house that is empty of furniture is always they house they pick because it's the house they bought.  They tour it first, then scramble like crazy to get it furnished while they are touring the other two and then they "flash forward" to after all their crap is moved in.

Do the people fake looking for a house get paid or something?  Or do they go through all the bullshit just to be on TV?
