DH likes to watch Fixer Upper with me and we always joke that we should do a drinking game with it. Last night was it. We streamed an episode and they said shiplap 13 times. We finished off a bottle of almond tequila that I just brought back from Mexico and had a blast with it. Luckily it was a low content alcohol or we would be hurting this morning.

Somehow  I knew this was about Fixer Upper. It sounds like you found a shiplap-light episode! |

Hahaha!!! My husband and I have been making that joke for a couple of months now. We haven't done it yet because we would be completely hammered by the end of the episode!  |

Fun game!

And let me guess-during renovations they found something wrong w/ the house they weren't expecting, the kids came over as Joanna was putting the finishing touches on the house, Joanna included a big clock in the decor of the house and Chip announced at the end of the show that by his estimate the homeowner now had an amazing amount of equity in the house |

Don't you just love HGTV? I would be willing to bet these poor people have to laugh at themselves and what they have to say on script, or else they would be crying! They always find something in all of them that is "unexpected". I laugh all the time at some of it, if they had an inspector then they would know that the roof has to be replaced, so that extra 10 grand isn't really a shocker. |

To be fair, anytime you're doing renovations there's most likely going to be a surprise. What gets me is when they use things, like a roof, that should not be a surprise as their drama moment. It makes the show hosts look bad when they can't even tell a roof is bad before the house is purchased. BTW, JoAnna doesn't say shiplap near as often when they have a newer house to redo. You're lucky they were working on an old one. You wouldn't have had near as much fun with the game otherwise. |

You can add in a shot for every time a "barn door" is added, and a trip to the guy who makes the tables should require something huge, like pounding a beer.

I just turned it over to Fixer Upper as I was reading this thread - literally the second word I heard was ship lap LOL. I have no idea what it is, never heard of it here. Going off to google.

We finished off a bottle of almond tequila that I just brought back from Mexico and had a blast with it. Luckily it was a low content alcohol or we would be hurting this morning. We brought back a chocolate tequila from Cozumel that tastes a bit like chocolate milk. So delicious. Way too easy to drink too much. |

Loved the almond. I'll be on the lookout for it next time. |

I know it is because I am inserting myself into the scene, but every time Chip says/does something stupid, like asks if his hair looks good, or angles for some type of compliment or does some dumb trick for attention, it drives me nuts. No way could I be with someone that childish and annoying. He actually ate a dead cockroach that was on the floor in one of these old homes! It was the most disgusting and immature thing I had seen him do. I do enjoy the show, but he bugs the crap out of me. I like to watch it to see the low prices of homes in that area. It is shocking for this Southern California native!
I also just watched another Texas show about moving and renovating old houses. They bid on them and then have to transport the house to their renovation property to work on it and then they auction it off from there. The blonde older woman absolutely ruins that show for me. I was bored and I couldn't sleep, but she was so irritating with her bossy ways and bad acting that I couldn't finish the series. And at 2 am, I'm not usually all that picky.

I guess I really don't pay attention when watching this show because I've never heard this term being used (don't really know what it is so I'm off to do some research). I will say I agree with Lexica, Chip is annoying with his juvenile actions. If he's like that in real life I have no idea how she's puts up with him! |

I will say I agree with Lexica , Chip is annoying with his juvenile actions. If he's like that in real life I have no idea how she's puts up with him! I read an article where the blog owner interviewed someone who had a house fixed up by the show. She said he is even more goofy off camera and was always doing silly stunts and entertaining everyone. She assured the interviewer that his personality comes across perfectly on screen. So yes, he is like that in real life. She seems so mature that I would think it would drive her nuts too, but again, I am projecting myself into that and I know I couldn't handle it. He's like a 6-year-old child vying for the attention of everyone in the room. His wife must think it is cute because she married him. |

^^^ I agree about Chip being annoying-- even more so because they just celebrated his 39th birthday on one of the recent episodes I watched!! (for that age, I think he should act a bit mature, is all...) Joanna bought him a Jeep, and he was so excited he 'accidentally' had it in gear, it rolled forward (almost hitting HER in the process--  ) and rear-ended one of the crew's vans, parked in front of it! He was actually pretty upset that he almost hit her, but she just laughed, and again, thought it was cute. uhh- cute?? really??? explain that to the insurance company when the other guy files the claim to fix his van!!! I also don't like that her decorating style is so 'one note' that every house looks the same... it's not the owner's style, it's HER style. The other thing that REALLY bugs me is that sometimes when the kids come over right before the house is finished, they'll do something like have dinner at the kitchen table, or something like that. It's someone ELSE'S house-- THEY shouldn't be like 'living' in it before they turn it over to the homeowners!!! |

Or Property Brothers finding knob and tube wiring, or asbestos. What do you expect with a house that's 70 years old? |

... The other thing that REALLY bugs me is that sometimes when the kids come over right before the house is finished, they'll do something like have dinner at the kitchen table, or something like that. It's someone ELSE'S house-- THEY shouldn't be like 'living' in it before they turn it over to the homeowners!!! I keep thinking the same thing! And it is typically pizza. And even really well behaved children are apt to get pizza sauce/grease on furniture or knickknacks. I am saying, "Put that down, sweetie!" in my head when they are handling the items in the house. She decorates the houses with things from her store, as well as things she buys for their house from local antique stores, but the house buyers don't get to keep any of it. I suppose they could buy it from her if they were really attached to anything she has chosen to stage the house. So, pizza grease on the furniture the owners are not keeping is not as big of a deal. That part actually bugs me too because they make a big deal out of deadlines and getting these people into their house by a specific day as promised, but it is still going to take some time to get all the staged furniture out and their own furniture moved in before they can actually stay in the house. I don't mind that the majority of her decorating is all the same. These people mostly want the farm country look, which is why they choose them and sign up to be on the show. I have watched a few where she did other types of decorating. One that made me actually laugh out loud was the husband and wife attorneys. When she had them come to her farm to go over their design (need to be able to write off your home as work related?) and the husband was horrified by her personal decorating. I think he said something like, "I have never been so terrified by looking at how you decorate" or something along those lines without those specific words. It was really shocking and somewhat rude on his part. She looked quite shocked but handled it well by thanking him for his honesty. She avoided anything shabby chic in their house except for a patio table and bench done in a white shabby look. He commented on it too, saying he figured she would have to put something like that into the house. His face when he saw her home was truly horrified. I personally like the farm style, especially since they are on an actual farm! But it is not for every type of home. I'm sure people would not like my personal taste either. And they don't have to keep the furniture she styles with. |

Don't forget a "cased opening" or every time she installs that ridiculously shallow bathroom sink!
We enjoy the show, but we definitely see the "drinking game" element to it.

I'm sure they ask the homeowners if it's okay for the kids to come over and eat for the filming. I would be willing to bet there's a lot more disclosure than we see onscreen.
