Flip or flop

[Andy V.]

Is it me or does the couple on Flip or Flop have way too much success?  Every deal they do, with rare exception, seems to net them $75k!!  Is this show based in any reality or purely for entertainment?  The Cute blonde doesn't hurt ratings but it makes the whole process seem so simple while the rest of us sweat it out..........

Just echoing, but keep in mind that it is not an educational show, it is for entertainment purposes.  The only part I find really accurate about those shows is that something always seems to happen at the 11th hour to jack up the rehab price.  But even if everything was accurate, if they are fulltime flippers with a netweork behind them, they can take on tons of deals and only show the filming for the properties they make a killing on.

I do like the show with Mike Holmes up in Canada, because they seem to give fair prices for the materials, and then he ends every accounting with "and that doesn't include us."  It also seems marginally educational.

 Take it from a Canadian Mike Holmes is BS aswell. He is not even a certified red seal carpenter lol, he whores his name and makes a killing. He made his name by going into homes and criticizing other carpenters and making them look terrible. Check out Jared Hope at LLR for a great canadian flipper.
