labbysexy-544-183001 Found this show on a lazy Saturday when the weather meant we were going to be stuck at home all weekend. Flipping through channels, I came across this without thinking much of it and thoroughly enjoyed it. I read some of the comments and did not understand why it had some bad reviews as those of us who enjoy interior designing will find this a nice show to watch, seeing the transformation from shab to chick. Whilst 30mins cannot do it justice in detailing all the intricacies involved it is not that serious serious and see it as for what it is, a Simple, Fun TV!! Unsure why we need to write a minimum of 10lines as some of us are straight to the point but now I have had to pad my statement unnecessarily just to make the quota.

kate_hariri This shows is entertaining to see Hilary fix-up the house, and David show them new houses, but this is just ridiculous. 99% of the time they choose love it, because of the decor and paint, and Hilary barely even changes what they want, she just decorates the home, to make it look appealing. There hasn't been one episode i've seen where the family picks list it, also the cheesy, fake arguing of David and Hilary doesn't make the show any more enjoyable. Pros: The fixing and searching for the homes, slightly entertainingCons:Way Too Predictable, Seems Too Fake, Same Result Every Episode/ Every Episode is basically the same, (same plot)

curtisc-04407 This show is so stressful to watch. If you have ever seen "Flip or Flop" on HGTV, you know that Tarek fixes foreclosed, destroyed homes for around $50,000. Hilary on "Love it or List it" barely does anything to the houses even with budgets that exceed $100,000. She must be ripping off the people on the show and paying her contractor friends a ton of money. I have seen her say, "We don't have enough money to add a closet." A closet only costs about $800 to add! Hilary is an absolute disgrace. Then, she spends half of the budget on furniture and decorations, which have nothing to do with the value of the house! I have no idea how Hilary even has a job, let alone a TV show.

dfootballparent The basic premise is pretty good. People all over struggle with fixing up their current home or moving. That's where it ends. While some of the before and after are good work, the journey is unnecessarily painful. I have been watching home shows for over 30 years from when they were simple "how-to" on PBS to the current menu. I am a fan of This Old House and HomeTime where the camera moves smoother and actually gives me a chance to see what is going on and they explained what was happening. Love it or List it is a culmination of all the fears people have to move or remodel. Testy people to deal with, sarcasm, and Hillary who demonstrates the stereotypical behavior that people expect from a contractor. Over promise and under-deliver then surprising the homeowner with tough financial and functional choices. I have built many things and fired many contractors who perform just like Hillary and I never get held hostage. This is exactly what scares people away from remodeling.While I have grown a tough exterior for dealing with these things, many people have not and fear getting ripped off. The encouraging truth is that if you do your homework there are actually honorable contractors who will take your money and deliver a quality product as promised. Nothing is ever completely perfect, but the surprises should not be as drastic as the failures on this show. Good contractors just do not do what Hillary does and get half-way through a project before doing their homework and examining the entire house first and then presenting choices to the homeowners. The other encouraging news is that there are better, "can-do" shows. While I miss Norm and, yes, Bob Vila who encouraged you into making things happen and taught you how to do it, the Property Brothers and Fixer Upper, plus so many more take their place pretty well. I only wish they would have better or smoother camera work. That aside, while I like some shows better than others, only one is truly annoying to the point of changing the channel and living up to every stereotypical contractor fear...it is "Love it or List it". With so many other great, positive, shows, I would say do not Love it or List it, just lose it.
