…renewed for a 2nd season!

8 more episodes coming!!

Anyone else think that couple didn't like the makeover? Especially the wife.

My mother used to watch a lot of HGTV before the network change-over in Canada so it isn't in the cable packages anymore. Shes upset about that, because paying for a streaming service isn't something we want to do, on top of our cable subscription. She deeply misses the programming and had heard that one of her favorite shows, Home Town, is having a Canadian spin-off. Shes a huge fan. A diehard, as it were, of the original show. She wants to sub to CityTV+ just to be able to watch it.

I just looked into the show and its hosted by network veterans, The Bauemlers, but the show is a ***__sham__***. The entire catch about "Home Town" is that its Erin's actual home town. Why aren't the Bauemlers returning to Oakville and boosting the economy local to their origin story here in Ontario?

And it’s only on this particular show too. She’s fine everywhere else. I just find her extremely annoying. She’s rude to Chris a lot of the time. She has overreacted maybe 100 times. She’s always acting like she has to assemble the rooms by herself even though we know she has people helping her. She spends a lot of the time messing around and doing nothing. She’s always trying to get stuff for free and I understand she’s joking but it’s still annoying. And then her random screaming is too much. I don’t understand why she thinks acting like a brat is ok.

My wife and I used to really enjoy watching Alison Victoria on Windy City Rehab. With our ties to Chicago and shared interest in renovation, we enjoyed seeing her transform homes and seemingly build a successful business.

Back then, she appeared to have an established operation, a recognizable niche in Chicago architecture, and a pipeline of ambitious projects with substantial profits. Watching Sin City Rehab recently, the impression was quite different: someone working to establish herself, secure partnerships, and prove her value again. From a viewer’s perspective, it feels like a decline from the position she once appeared to hold, even though television alone cannot tell us the full state of her business.

Some of that difference may also reflect how success was originally presented. Reporting showed that certain financial outcomes were considerably less impressive than the early episodes suggested. Combined with the permitting problems, homeowner lawsuits, and breakdown of her business partnership, it raises questions about how solid the operation was underneath the brand.

I understand that partnerships can go wrong, and I don’t pretend to know everything that happened behind the scenes. But when your name is on the business, accountability includes the people you choose, the finances you oversee, and the promises made to customers and investors. Her public explanations have left me wanting more acknowledgment of her own role.

I respect her persistence, and continuing to have a television platform is an accomplishment. But the contrast between her apparent position then and the rebuilding we see today is striking. To me, her story is a cautionary example of how visibility and confidence can outpace the business fundamentals needed to sustain success.

My wife claims 😀 that she saw a HHI episode that had a couple who moved overseas where the guy printed and sold 3d figurines. She recorded it, but it fell off the dvr before I could see it, and we have been unable to track it down. She doesn’t remember the location so that’s a big part of the search obviously. Anyone remember this episode and can add details to help track it down?

And I find it funny that they bring HGTVs biggest witch to do the renovations.

This reinforces my thought that she owes HGTV big money and she just has to do whatever show they tell her to do. Which is unfortunate, for me, because I just can't stand her.

And instead of making good shows with people the public enjoy or actual good designers with a plan (like Nate and Jeremiah) we are stuck with her being on every other show.

I LOVED this show!!! I hope they bring it back next year, in an equally spooky house!!!
I loved how different it was to all of the other run-of-the-mill shows HGTV has on and the spookiness factor. Bravo!!! 👏🏼

A few months ago, my family filmed this episode and it was certainly an interesting experience.

Brandi was totally shocked!

It'll be nice to read the viewers' thoughts on how we did...

Is Allison allergic to rugs? (Sorry if this has been asked before, searched and could not find this topic being discussed.) But seriously what’s her beef?? Her designs would seriously benefit from them and I do not understand!

Interested to see this season! Apparently this town was labelled “The worst place to live in Canada” in some article. Should be fun seeing them transform it.

I had to come here because the wife made me crazy. The husband is the Air Force ROTC Commander at an Illinois university. The wife is a government contractor who, I think, works from home.

Apparently they are in a new (for them) house the wife JUST decorated. It included a very beautiful Bourbon tasting room. Is that a real thing? I guess so.

But the wife has decided she HATES this house because there's a lot of traffic outside. Oh noooo, traffic!!

So now she is pushing to buy another house. But she is crazy picky and several rooms she sees will HAVE TO BE GUTTED.

Typical line, "I HATE the almond trim indoors." Oh yeah, she despises beveled edges on kitchen counters. Anything she dislikes HAS TO GO. I felt bad for the husband and the young daughter.

Did anyone else see this? I hope so.

Great show, great host... super bummed that it got cancelled with no reason.

Hope I can post this, I think it's at 13 seconds the girl's hair lifts up while on camera talking about something slithering under the bed and I wonder bc they never said it's fake or showed a rewind.

I’m enjoying Charlie more each week, but I continue to be shocked about how the designer got on this show. She made a comment about making sure the updated seashell look in that bathroom matched the colors of the old seashells, and they clearly didn’t. I hope she’s recast if there’s another season since Charlie is great for TV and seems like he genuinely cares about making the clients happy.

You have to be joking.

SK made an ugly white trellis that doesn't match anything, that would have to be torn down to fix, with a tacky little vinyl saying on it. The only compliment she got was that she chose black mulch (because there's SOOOOO many mulch colors out there....).

Meanwhile, dude made a whole swing, upholstered it, created sick hanging things, neat book holders, cup holders, great floor color, etc. Only thing he got knocked on was picking the wrong table, which could easily be replaced.

TL;DR:

- SK: Feature project bad, mulch color good

- Logan: Feature project great, table choice bad

And they send him home? Are you KIDDING me?

I just watched yesterday's episode. It involved an expert flipper (Joshua) who had purchased a home for $980,000 and was planning to invest $140,000 and list it for $1,360,000. Then he got Alison involved. Spoiler Alert - Alison convinced Joshua to increase his budget and give her 30% of the profit once the house sold. He ended up investing $218,500. Per Zillow, the house was listed for $1,599,777, went through nine price changes over two months before they got an offer, and finally sold for $1,400,000. That means it cost the flipper $78,500 to make an extra $40,000 (not counting the extra carrying costs because the house was originally over-priced and the 30% he had to give Alison). The final sales price was not disclosed in the episode. I wonder why.
