If you’ve ever wished, daydreamed, or outright prayed for Erin and Ben Napier to leave Laurel MS and come transform your house, now’s your chance. The HGTV Home Town location is about to change, as the Napiers are preparing to take their delightful blend of craftsmanship and goodwill somewhere new. There is a slight catch…
Home Town Season 4 is officially a go, and we’ve got plenty of details on the upcoming episodes from Ben and Erin Napier themselves. Both the Napiers and HGTV have confirmed that a new slate of episodes is in the works, but we’ve also learned that Season 4 will literally be the biggest the show…
In one sense, the official news of the Chip and Joanna Gaines cable network — which will almost certainly be called “Magnolia TV” or something close to that, but for now has no name — is a bit anticlimactic. We knew last year after Chip and Joanna went on The Tonight Show to announce their…
The stars of HGTV’s Home Town rep their own home town of Laurel, Mississippi as hard as possible on the show, employing local craft and tradesmen for nearly every job and featuring local businesses in every episode. But do Ben and Erin Napier have a store of their own? As it turns out, they have…
Home Town, HGTV’s coziest show and the feel-good successor to Fixer Upper, returns for its third season tonight. (Click here for our in-depth Home Town Season 3 sneak peek.) The Season 2 finale marked the grand entrance of Helen, Ben and Erin Napier’s baby — and, as Erin recently pointed out, she changed kind of…
Early this year, HGTV confirmed that it had ordered a third season of Home Town, the feel-good-est show on the network. Making the news even feel-gooder was that the order is the network’s largest ever: where Seasons 1 and 2 were ten episodes each, Season 3 will be thirteen. That’s nearly one more full month…
HGTV has just announced Christina El Moussa’s new show, and it sounds like Christina is ready for her turn in the spotlight. Christina on the Coast will feature the Flip or Flop star helping fellow Californians make their design dreams come true — but the show will also offer a close look at Christina’s personal…
Chip and Joanna finished filming Fixer Upper‘s final episode some time ago — but when will the episode actually air? HGTV has been very hush-hush about the event; fortunately, thanks to our crack squad of TV detectives, we’ve been able to pinpoint the exact date. (We think.) The only reason for our hesitation is we’re…
At the beginning of 2018, thanks to a total website overhaul and general post-holiday fatigue, we were embarrassingly late with the news that Erin and Ben Napier had welcomed their baby girl Helen into the world. We’ve got no excuse for being tardy a second, but at least we’ve got more good news: HGTV Home…
With Fixer Upper heading into the final episodes of its final season, Chip and Joanna Gaines’ HGTV contract is getting increased attention from TV producers and gossip hounds alike. According to several recent reports, the first family of home renovation is stepping away from their show only temporarily, in order to negotiate a more favorable…
2018 is shaping up to be an HGTV pregnancy bonanza! In addition to Erin and Ben Napier of Home Town welcoming their adorable little girl Helen last month and Fixer Upper‘s Joanna and Chip Gaines announcing baby #5, now we’ve got confirmation that Good Bones‘ Mina Starsiak is pregnant! Mina and her husband Steve just…
Though Chip and Joanna Gaines are known for telling heartwarming stories, the Fixer Upper Copp family episode might be the most feel-good of them all. The “new direction” for Fixer Upper that Chip teased with his New Year’s “Revelation” blog post a couple of years back has certainly been bearing fruit in Season 5: he…
Now that Fixer Upper is airing its final episodes, Joanna Gaines is dropping more and more hints about how the show actually works. Not long ago, she gave a detailed explanation of how she stages each home the night before the big reveal, including how much of the furniture and furnishings are the family’s own…
After five years, five seasons, and more fans than they ever thought they’d find, the Gainses are officially done with Fixer Upper. HGTV’s biggest stars recently wrapped production on the show’s final episode after filming the final reveal, and, while many of those fans appear to be in disbelief from watching Chip and Joanna say…
Home Town stars Erin and Ben Napier have to be the hardest working couple on HGTV. First and foremost, they’re busy getting ready for their first child (!) to be born (!!) in two months (?!). And that job is a whole lot of work all by itself! On top of it, though, they’re running…
After months of impatient waiting and fun speculation, we finally have an answer to the biggest question in home renovation entertainment: When is Fixer Upper Season 5 coming on? Before I give you the details, though, I feel I should apologize. Devotées will recall that months ago, in one of our Season 5 sneak peeks,…
Chip and Joanna Gaines are still overseeing a steady, breathtaking expansion of their Fixer Upper empire. In the past year and a half alone, their major projects included Hillcrest Estate, the second Magnolia B&B; Magnolia Realty, their Fixer Upper-inspired, Texas-wide real estate agency; the official Magnolia magazine, and Chip’s very own memoir. And, if we…
We’ve now heard three different reasons for Fixer Upper cancelled, and the third is simultaneously the most understandable and alarming of all. First came Chip and Joanna’s official announcement, in which the pair said they simply needed “to catch [their] breath for a moment.” Given that the past three years have seen them become the…
Chip and Joanna Gaines decided to end Fixer Upper, their massively successful, HGTV-defining home renovation show, in part because they wanted to spend more time with their children and extended family and in part because of creeping concern for their own safety. That’s the takeaway from a pair of new reports–one of which cites Chip’s…
Listed Sisters is HGTV’s newest Nashville-based hit, though the adjective “sleeper” has never been more appropriate. The show has an 11 PM start time, which makes it the latest show in the network’s regular rotation, and one of the most-dependent upon reruns and block programming throughout the rest of the week. All of which is…
Mina Starsiak-Hawk and Karen E. Laine have a well-earned reputation as the dynamic daughter-mother duo of HGTV. And while Good Bones is a huge hit for the network, a lot of that reputation comes from the pair’s delightful social media feeds: Karen and Mina regularly share super cute pics with Mina’s daughter; Mina’s wedding last…
HGTV is trying to broaden the appeal of what’s already one of its most popular shows by green-lighting five Flip or Flop spinoffs. The first, Flip or Flop Vegas, starring former MMA fighter and real-life Batman Bristol Marunde, debuted earlier this spring–and was originally billed as the replacement for the original Flip or Flop, which…
It took what was no doubt an insane amount of money, but the El Moussas have reunited–for business purposes only. In a surprise about-face, HGTV announced that Tarek and Christina are back together and the original Flip or Flop–which the network had intended to let wither and die once its stars’ contracts ran out–will shoot…
There’s no reason to beat around the bush with this one: Home Town Season 2 is a go! The good people in charge of HGTV decided to order another round of renovations from Erin and Ben Napier before the dust had even settled on Season 1, which is only about halfway through its run. And…
Though the first couple of Flip or Flop is still heading for a divorce, a new report suggests that there might be a behind-the-scenes struggle to keep things going professionally. The latest from In Touch is that Tarek El Moussa wants Christina back for ‘business purposes’–more specifically, because he’s said to be “jealous” of how…
After months of going back and forth on the decision and appearing to change their mind as often as a politician running for office, it seems that HGTV has decided to cancel the original Flip or Flop. That’s the latest in a new report from In Touch, which takes the unusual step of mentioning that…
It’s a question that gets asked of every new show on HGTV, and their latest hit Home Town is no different: Do the people on Home Town keep the furnishings? Viewers are enamored–to say the least!–of Erin and Ben Napier’s cozy aesthetic, due in no small part to the huge array of crafts and custom-built…
Home Town, HGTV’s newest impeccable-yet-approachable renovation hit, had a very long gestation. As we described in our first feature on the show, an HGTV producer contacted Erin and Ben Napier back in 2014, after seeing a magazine profile of their beautifully restored 1925 Craftsman-style home. The pair shot a sizzle reel: a short montage of…
Season 1 of HGTV’s Home Town is getting more buzz than any show on the network since Fixer Upper‘s debut. Hosts Erin and Ben Napier have been making a name for themselves ever since the renovations to their 1925 craftsman cottage earned the couple a feature in Southern Weddings all the way back in 2014….
Home Town is HGTV’s newest entry in the Fixer Upper-style of impossibly cute & talented couples and / or relations (and we mean that as a compliment) dedicated to fixing up their cities through the power of home renovation. But, where Fixer Upper has been a boon for Waco and its 200,000 residents, Listed Sisters…
Karen and Mina, the mother-daughter duo behind HGTV’s always-charming Good Bones, have been hard at work on their latest Indianapolis home renovations over the past few months, and have been slowly offering up an HGTV Good Bones Season 2 preview in the process. What should fans of the first season expect? Well, for one thing,…
The Bristol Marunde HGTV turn is coming: Bristol and his wife Aubrey have just been announced as the hosts of Flip or Flop Vegas, the first spin-off of Tarek and Christina El Moussa’s international mega-hit. In fact, HGTV recently shared the news that they’ve put five (5) brand-new Flip or Flop spin-offs into production. The…
Kortney and Dave Wilson of Masters of Flip fame currently find themselves faced with an unusual problem: more time than they know what to do with. The couple is between seasons of their show, and, while the planning and prepping never really stops for reality TV stars and producers, the much-needed downtime means they can…
The cameras and good times are rolling for Listed Sisters Season 2! Lex and Alana LeBlanc recently confirmed that their HGTV hit is not only working on brand-new episodes, but the producers are also still looking for more participants! The news came as something of a surprise, given that Listed Sisters Season 2 casting had…
The surprise Tarek and Christina El Moussa split, announced earlier this week by the couple, has increased speculation about the fate of Flip or Flop, their mega-hit HGTV show. According to the network, production will continue for the time being, but the rift between the show’s stars appears to be widening. Tarek and Christina shocked…
HGTV’s shows are normally a bedrock of good vibes and chill presenters, but the Fixer Upper scandal and Flip or Flop divorce controversy have both rocked the network in consecutive weeks. HGTV’s public statements on the matter offer a picture of calm, though their lack of detail has sometimes left fans wondering what’s really going…
The first Fixer Upper controversy in the show’s four-year history continues to swell, as the head of Chip and Joanna Gaines’ church has addressed his remarks regarding homosexuality, gay marriage, and conversion therapy practices. The controversy first erupted earlier this week, just as Fixer Upper Season 4 premiered on HGTV. A BuzzFeed article pointed out…
The Chip and Joanna Gaines anti-gay rumors have been swirling for days, thanks to the controversial views of their mega-church’s pastor. Jimmy Seibert, the head of the Antioch Community Church in Waco, got the Gainses into some trouble on the day of the Fixer Upper Season 4 premiere, after a BuzzFeed story unearthed anti-gay and…
A series of sales by former Fixer Upper homeowners has given rise to a once-unthinkable question: Are the Fixer Upper clients happy? However, it isn’t an issue with the quality of Joanna and Chip’s work that has some families packing up and heading out for new digs. The show is so popular–and has been such…
The long-running and highly successful string of Tarek and Christina seminars that the Flip or Flop duo have promoted for years is coming under fire from an unexpected enemy: their fans. Some disgruntled followers of the HGTV power couple are speaking out against Tarek and Christina, accusing them of deceptive business practices and claiming that…
HGTV’s hit Masters of Flip is back with all-new episodes, which means there’s never been a better time to get to know hosts Kortney and Dave Wilson. The two have an unusual history for professional house flippers: not only did they come to the profession with little to no experience, they were actually planning a…
Yard Crashers, one of HGTV’s longest-running series, is currently chugging along at Season 16 and showing no signs of stopping anytime soon. Partly due to the fact that it’s been so very long-running, the show has long faced a bevy of questions as to its veracity. Thanks to former host Matt Blashaw answering almost all…
The Matt Blashaw Yard Crashers rumors are true! Long-waiting fans are about to get their wish, as Matt himself recently confirmed his return to the show starting with Season 17–which is already filming! The show’s second-ever host handed the reins over to former Bachelorette contestant Chris Lambton back in 2014, in order to tend to…
Was HGTV’s Fixer Upper canceled? Believe it or not, that is the rumor that Chip and Joanna Gaines find themselves confronted with of late, thanks to a crazy (and, it appears, baseless) rumor that somehow took hold among the show’s fans. Before we show you what Chip himself had to say in response to this…
Are any of the HGTV Fixer Upper homes for rent? It’s a question commonly asked with regard to the massively popular home improvement show. And, until recently, the answer was a solid “No.” When the show’s success led a few enterprising former clients of Chip and Joanna Gaines to turn their sought-after homes into a…
Is Magnolia House open? Fans of the official Fixer Upper B&B have been clamoring for a chance to stay inside Chip and Joanna’s elaborate home ever since it opened, to great fanfare, late last year. In fact, the Magnolia House givewaway that HGTV tied in with the Fixer Upper Season 3 was so popular, the…
Fixer Upper Season 4 is just around the corner, and the Gainses have more updates, surprises, and expansions in store than in the show’s first three seasons combined!

The only significant change to the Texas Flip and Move cast for the entirety of the show’s run has been the abrupt removal of fan favorites Cody and Suzi Slay, who left a few episodes into Season 3 and haven’t been seen since. Though the show itself remains popular, backlash to the move has been…
Fans of the HGTV smash hit Fixer Upper don’t have long to wait for to get their next big helping of the Gainses.

The Whitney and Ashley Open Concept craze is officially on! Whitney Gainer and Ashley Turner, DIY craftsmen extraordinaire, have long been developing their following on social media; when HGTV came knocking, though, the sisters made the not-so-big jump to the small screen. Open Concept, their debut home renovation and carpentry show, has been drawing raves, thanks in large part to…
How old is Clint Harp? How did he get started in the woodworking trade? How big is his family? And is he getting his own show? The Fixer Upper mainstay and craftsman extraordinaire has a brand-new pilot, Against The Grain, which airs tonight on HGTV. Though an entire series hasn’t yet been confirmed, Clint says he’s astonished to…

The breakaway success of HGTV’s Five Day Flip has many viewers wondering, “Who is Cherie Barber?” But international viewers are no stranger to Barber’s quick-flipping ways, as Barber has been a fixture in Australia for years. The newest member of HGTV’s celebrity house flipping stable is Australian-born, has flipped houses in the English-speaking world for nearly two decades,…
Are the Flip or Flop auctions real? We’ve addressed the question of the show’s overall veracity, but fans of HGTV’s gi-normous hit still want to know about the auction portion of each episode. How do Flip or Flop‘s economics work? Are they authentic–can you really get houses as cheaply (or efficiently) as Tarek and Christina seem to be…
How does Beachfront Bargain Hunt work? The show is one of HGTV’s most popular, but many viewers are either skeptical about the show’s production (thanks to the House Hunters debacle of several years ago) or honestly curious about how the whole process comes together. Thanks to a series of testimonials written by fans who’ve appeared on the show, we now have…
Are the Love It or List It homes staged? A lawsuit is drawing new attention to the show in the form of that ubiquitous question, thanks to a participant’s disputes regarding Love It or List It episode 152. The Love It or List It lawsuit, first reported by the Raleigh News Observer, was brought by Deena Murphy and Timothy Sullivan, a couple with experience in…
Fans of Good Bones, HGTV’s breakaway new hit, know that a big part of the show’s charm is how much fun mom Karen E. Laine and daughter Mina Starsiak have in front of the camera. Given that theirs is a home improvement show, though, the two are usually covered up pretty thoroughly…which is one reason why…
Who are the Listed Sisters of HGTV fame? Alana and Lex LeBlanc, Nashville-based realtor and designer siblings, are exploring a new variant on their network’s tried-and-true family formula. Unlike HGTV mainstays Fixer Upper and fellow newcomers Good Bones, which highlight the renovation of a single home, Listed Sisters is more like the classic Love It or List It–except that Lex and Alana both fix up each family’s…
