Rehab Addict is my jam. Mostly because we have an 1860's farmhouse that we're renovating. Hopefully someday our house will look like one of Nicole's. I'm sure it'll only take....10 more years. 15, tops.

I read a piece on Nicole. She had posted a comment on Twitter about how traveling was such a bitch and she's always mobbed with people that she didn't want to talk to. Then, she said, that seeing the children's smiling faces from the audience during her talks made it all worth while. She loves inspiring kids.
She's a head scratcher to me. Don't pan your fans publicly. Little kids are not renovating houses with hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why was LeBron James on your show?
I'll still watch her, though. I'm equal opportunity. Those Property Brothers are also growing some wicked egos, and yet, I still watch.
I saw a Property Brothers where they were renovating their own enormous house in Las Vegas. The dilemma of the episode was that the palm trees they ordered from Southern California came in too early and were too big.
"Our palm tress don't fit our vision! And if we don't get them in the ground, they will die. WHAT TO DO???"
I saw that too joy. The whole series of them renovating the Vegas house was tough to watch- I want to keep liking them, and series like that make it hard! I read an article about how they are only home just a few weeks a year at most due to filming, so the whole house seemed like such a waste and it was so obvious it was just built and filmed for the show.

U/O (Maybe? I don't know): When people have nick names for certain things. For example, there's a thread on here that refers to underware as "unders". It's underwear, panties, whatever.
Maybe I am just a bitter citydweller who will probably rent for life, but I think it is silly for people to make a huge deal about their new home purchase on FB. An announcement with a photo of you holding the "sold" sign or your new keys? Fine. Mazel tov! But a whole album with 40 photos or one-month-anniversary-in-the-new-house posts or weekly home improvement updates? Too much.
I love home improvement posts, I like getting ideas and knowing which of my friends to ask for advice on certain projects. I also have an album detailing the construction of our house, so I might not be one to talk.

I have a crush on Nicole. FO SHO.
UO? I super dislike Nicole and that show. I think she does crap work and cuts a lot of corners (not that I have any authority in home reno).

People do this?? Eek, no thanks!
Maybe going off of this a little bit but once you are married celebrating your "dating anniversary" is a little silly and AW-ish. I mean go ahead and mention it to your spouse in private but broadcasting all over Facebook and Instagram and Twitter- #no

This. I watch ALL the shows. But they are hosting a country music award show and are on ANTM? Wut?

I'd probably feel the same way if I were doing my own home improvements. (Same to pippacricket.) But I stand by my opinion that nobody cares that you bought your house one month ago today! We remember your post! It was only a month ago! No need to re-share!

Disagree! MH and I dated for 6 years before we got married. We celebrated 10 years together (our dating anniversary) last May. After being with someone for a decade, just getting to celebrate the 4 year marriage milestone felt lame. We made a bigger deal about the dating anniversary than our wedding anniversary a month later.
ETA: When I say a "bigger deal," I only posted one facebook photo. Which still falls under my aforementioned guidelines for an appropriate FB AW.

Ugh. And I hate the word "monthaversary." Not real. And don't celebrate your baby's "half birthday." Not a thing.
I am passionate about actual birthdays. And real words.

Kind of related to this- engagement-iversaries should not be a thing unless you are not married yet. Even then. I have a good friend who posts a new "anniversary" almost weekly. "Can't believe soandso and I got engaged 2 years ago today! And now we're celebrating 60 weeks of marriage!" NO NO NO NO NO NO.
In the first year, months don't bug me. Like "can't believe we've been married for a month/6 months already!" But if you've been married longer than a year, WE GET IT. You are most definitely married and I'm pretty sure everyone knows about it by now.

And now I'm laughing again. I don't know why I find that word so funny.

Have you blocked them yet? Because I would have. Vomit.

Yep. One of my friends recently posted like 4 photos of a champagne toast for their 2 week wedding anniversary. I mean, any occasion is a champagne occasion, but do we need to congratulate you again? Just 2 weeks later?

Meh. H and I still go to the restaurant where we had our first date on our dating anniversary. We met online, so that night was the first time we'd even met each other in person. It's a pretty special night for us as a couple, so we go back to where it all started. I'll usually post one picture of us at the restaurant. Maybe it's a little AW-ish, but #dontcurr. You don't have to like the picture if you don't want to.

shadesofgold, maybe I am broken because I don't remember the date of of our first date or when we become a couple! We have been together ten years this year and married for five, so I just usually will say it all together on our anniversary.
One of my cousins just made a big deal of this on all forms of social media and their wedding anniversary is next month and I will have to endure it all over again next month. It's fresh in my head.

Yes we did the same thing last December for our 10 years together! MH surprised me with a trip to the town where we met in college and I definitely posted a pic on FB.

Dear god yes. We've posted a few pictures when we change something major (like a kitchen remodel) but I have one friend who bought a house like 6 months ago. They posted their "announcement" photo (standing in front of the house) and then the next two months ths were constant "in progress" photos of them repainting rooms, hanging curtains, putting up pictures. It was ridiculous.
Oh, I watch all the house shows, but damn do I find them annoying with their fakeness. And people's ridiculous comments.
"The house has stairs. Our three year old hasn't mastered stairs. I think we should look for a house with no stairs." "But, you buy a home for the long term... your three year old will grow up, you know." "I can't risk it."
Has anyone ever seen Renovation Realities on DIY? AMAZING. No host, no fake, only two camera people and two people who have no clue what they are doing to their house.
I love this show! I love all the comments that get added in when they're doing stupid crap.
