Just being too cutsie playing with people's money. Dont like Jillian. Insulted homeowners house! Attitude and all she talks about is wanting to drink wine and compete with Todd. Not impressed at all. No homework done here. 1st home shown is not a good home . Very underqualified to do what she is doing. Wow! I could go on but you get the drift. Couldnt get rid of the one star rating!

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.

I'm a huge HGTV fan, especially Love it or List it Toronto. Hillary and David are great. They're not too plastic and fake and they feel comfortable ribbing each other. Todd is okay but Jillian is hard to watch. She's so busy flicking her hair and pouting for the camera (seriously, is she in high school?) it's really distracting. It pulls me out of the show because she's playing to the camera more than doing her job. Obviously someone who does a stint on the Bachelor franchises just wants attention. It's gotten her this show but I'm not sure she's got the goods to back up her ego. That $190k budget for one floor mentioned by another viewer is a joke. You can do a whole house for that even with contingency.

I just watched the first episode of this show and found it unbelievable that someone could call herself a home designer and plan a project that involved moving the electrical box without realizing it. Hello?!Also, the kitchen & laundry looked great when she was done, but designing a kitchen sink so your head is looking at the wall when you have a lot of other options for it is just bad design. Whenever I see that in a kitchen redesign, I wonder how much time the person who spent designing it actually has spent preparing meals or cleaning up while living with their family or entertaining. (Not much, I figure!)So probably won't see this show again. Too annoying. Plus I've seen a lot of Love It or List It and got too sick of the huge problems that cropped up just about EVERY SINGLE TIME in the current home renovation. Have they no housing standards in Toronto? In my city, there are inspections required every time you sell your house or have major work done so I doubt it would be the disaster that is apparently continually occurring in Toronto -- unless the show is just creating major problems because they need it for their show script! (which is of course very possible and giving a Toronto a bad name in its housing stock is just a byproduct of their show's storyline.)
