I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Goddamn. We had to go to her fucking bakery on our family trip to Texas a few years back.

We watched this for the first few seasons. The shiplap Spike mentioned was an issue. We stopped around the time they got their own section of Target. Not because of that. Here is what it was for me: it felt like Jo didn’t even like Chip. I get it. I do. That guy. But she just became too unlikable for me to watch.

What I hate about them is that the math never adds up. Based on inputs and labor, my wife says they’re regularly flipping houses at a loss. All the revenue comes from ads. Probably why wease’s pastries sucked.

I’m not convinced they even live together. I think they stay together for the appearance and marketing. She clearly hates him as much as i do
