I was nearly on Property Ladder early last year, and know a home inspector who actually *was* on an episode here in Orlando... but he was actually used as a potential 'buyer' pointing a couple of flaws as he walked through the home.Maybe they could try a disclaimer before and after the shows: "Statistics, Balance Sheets, and Profits may appear closer to ideal than reality.
