SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Thank ya all for your information on it not being "reality". I guessed this as they are so expensive and I had to wonder how some of these people afford $200,000 plus homes. I also questioned buyers choosing one, when as another viewer said, there is usually only one that comes close to their needs. I would say thanks and keep looking! I also wondered about schooling for children and the travel to schools but since it isn't real, that solves that question. Still interesting as I love seeing the scenery and looking at the houses. I live in Texas and enjoy learning about Alaska but don't think we will be moving there anytime soon. I like guessing which one they will "buy". Wish it was "real" but today, what really is?

another mostly staged 'reality' show structured around the most implausible premise: that people will travel miles through the bush, take long boat rides, plane rides, to look at house not knowing how much it costs; no one does that; but the idea is you'll be watching, then, finally, the question arises- how much is it- then cut to commercial and you'll stay to find out; but too often the top end budget is, for example, 300k, and after seeing a few dogs under the limit there's the nice one they like- for 450k; then there are the majestic mountainside homes sporting endless vistas in all direction- and some very nice scenery for sure- turns out on a 1/4-acre lot? given the alaskan setting, the show also suffers form dwelling on decor, and endless versions of 'i really like that kitchen', or 'not enough closets'- instead of details about structure, heating, insulation and more that are unusual in much of alaska; supposedly, buyers are motivated to be in an unusual and challenging place, but you'd never know it from the empty-headed, scripted comment

So I love this show. Thought it was real. That was until I spoke with one of the couples from season two, I asked them how they liked the house they chose, they told me that they didn't buy anything. It was all for the show. That their actual house was used for another episode. They said that all the properties on the show are actually for sale but that the people on the show are not buying the houses. It's all for entertainment. The show is always been very interesting but it sucks knowing it's not real. Was also told that they don't show the really bad stuff of the property like the couple told me that one of the houses they saw on the show has all the wood on the property was rotten and poor condition, they won't show the real condition of it because they are for sale.

A wonderful show with one fatal flaw.........throughout the interesting story line and beautiful scenery you are constantly tormented by a background of loud, intolerable, intrusive, and obnoxious pounding drums and twanging electric guitars. I tried watching but after about 5 minutes I felt like my head was caving in. What a shame. I've noticed the same fault on many of the shows I watch. It's as though today's television directors think that if there is even a few seconds of silence, or if the accompanying music is not vibrating the viewer's entire living room, he will lose interest and turn to another channel. Ridiculous and unnecessary.
