HGTV Spring 2025 Thread

Not quite as hot as this photo but it'll do

The motel bought by the first lesbians featured on Fixer to Fabulous is.....already for sale.

2 lesbian couples in business together - what could go wrong?

Hot Marine on a House Hunters Internation in Boblingen, Germany.

The face is a bit odd, but he is a big, strapping lad otherwise. 6'4" and just poured into the shirts and shorts he wore in every shot on the episode.

(His new wife looks a whole lot like Marjorie Taylor Greene and likes to pole dance.)

Some big beefy thighs on the Marine, too.

I think dad is hotter.

Mike Holmes Sr.....I wouldn't kick him out of bed!

Bummer.....looks like we won't see any Holmes on HGTV for the foreseeable future.....they're filming only for CTV now.

Rumors about the Renovation Aloha guy - that he used to be a serious druggie and dealer.

Can't stand his little bitch wife. (but her brother is hot)

How Did HGTV's Tristyn And Kamohai Meet? The Renovation Aloha Stars Have A Troubled Past

Looks like Scott McGillivray's fine ass will be back on HGTV at the end of April.

Okay, you all have to watch the "Stars Align in Amsterdam" episode of House Hunters International for the 🔥 F L A M I N G 🔥 life coach-slash-astrologer.

It's a hoot.

I just found something about Tamara's hot dad Ward from Bargain Mansions......listed his college graduation year at 1973, which would put his HS graduation at roughly 1969.....

....which makes him 74. Seventy fucking FOUR!

Mike Holmes Jr should be doing gay porno for his fans. That guy is so beautiful to look at.

R14 agree. I'd be just fine with a solo.

Dave Marrs shaved his face....and STILL looks good.

This Mexico Life episode has two gay couples. They're both moving to Puerto Vallarta.

R17 I guess that queen Taniel is showing them around?

So this tells me HGTV is about 15 years behind the times of other 'reality' shows.

Last night my sister rudely interrupted my Judge Lauren Lake viewing to tell me excitedly Paige Turner is replacing that old anorexic host on Love It or List It.

Then the EBS test came on and cut off Judge Lake's verdict and I'm STILL pissed about it...😠

Paige replacing Hilary Farr is just......no.

Why oh why can't HGTV develop any new gardening/landscaping-specific shows, or shows where flippers/new build hosts incorporate landscaping into the flip?

Landscaping adds so much value, curb appeal and interest to a home, and I don't get why the showrunners don't get they would draw in new viewers for shows like that.

They could do landscaping competition shows.

Or programs where the homeowners are happy with their homes, but want to add interesting plants/shubbery/trees and have tried diy-ing it but failed miserably.

Or shows where weekly the host/s travels to a different region and helps homeowners create landscaping with native plants.

Or shows that feature different plants every week, like one show is on roses, their history and their varieties--tea roses, heirloom, Florabunda, heavily-scented roses, roses hardy to various regions, how property owners can select the best rose based on their desires--purely ornamental, flippers who need quick growing and easy to maintain varieties, owners who want as much scent as possible, etc.

For example, I'm obsessed with "found" plants for creating floral arrangements. Wherever I am I scout the area for interesting plants and flowers by season; abandoned properties and fallow fields are great for that. I know where to find cat tails, native Louisiana irises (both purple and rust-red), prehistoric horse-tail, rain/surprise lilies, and in autumn the most amazing fields of riotous yellow Rudbeckia.

The possibilities are endless.

Yeh not so much Home and GARDEN TV anymore, which is a shame.

Do we know where they are filming? What state?

Hillary was always elegant and classy and bougie.

Don’t want to cast aspersions but maybe this designer will be more down-to-earth? Dare I say more common? It has always depended on the budget the owners have as well.

For some reason landscaping is an afterthought - the "slow" nature of gardening seems to be too dull for the quick cut edits of HGTV shows, with smashing demo hammers and loud cheap music blaring over the images.

There was the "Inside Out" show that had the gay designer inside and the Hot Plant Daddy outside, but it was cancelled.

There's definitely a need for more "teaching" shows like they had early on......and it doesn't have to be cable access level boring shit.

Mike Holmes Sr. is so hot walking around in his tank top and overalls on his show. He once joked that he didn't wear underwear under his overalls, which is nice to imagine when watching the show.

It's the renovation and real estate channel. I don't think they will ever go back to the many interesting home and garden shows they used to have.

What they do now - especially 24/7 shows like House Hunters and Lottery Dream Home - are cheap to produce. It's always all about the money, not the quality.

I bet both Holmes Sr and Jr are packing nicely.

^Agreed!

The Sebring series was entertaining. I've been through Laurel, and I wonder if the same tourism will happen there.

I just dont think people are into landscaping like they used to be. Not so house prod as in the past. Besides,have you seen the prices for landscaping products now ??? The yard at my last house was beautiful,mainly because it was 40 years worth of growth. My yard now is bare bones,and I dont care enough at 64 to alter that.

Sebring has a nice downtown, though it sounds like they also have a highway that bypasses the town entirely.

R32, I've been there and it's easy to drive past, which is a shame.

I do get it, R31, and people may not be into aesthetic gardening/landscaping at present, but there are a TON of Millennials and Gen Z'ers who are getting into vegetable/fruit gardening in a BIG way these last 3-5 years or so.

And it's so heartening to see. Last year one of my old Dad's Boy Scouts came to visit, and told us he'd retired as some big muckety-muck in the PNW tech region, and had returned to our state. All those decades he remembered my Dad always having a huge vegetable garden, and when the time came for retirement he knew exactly what he wanted to do--move back to his late parents' property and buy additional properties on either side, and turning it into a small-ish produce operation + farmer's market.

There are several groups across the US that focus on the Black farmer, telling people NEVER to sell their ancestors' acreage, but turn it into sustainable farms.

And urban farmers have been a thing for 25 years now.

I'd bet a startup rival to HGTV with emphasis on today's farmer and various farming/fruit series would be a huge hit, given time to develop and find its audience.

Here's another:

I think part of the step away from gardening content is this:

When HGTV started, the shows were more about learning, about tips, ideas, etc. Yes, there's always been silly entertainment, there's always been "fluff" but there was a lot of: here's what you could think about doing with $500. Here's what you could do to brighten up one corner, or your bedroom. Or your yard....like "Curb Appeal."

Now, HGTV is basically QVC. The shows exist to feature, spotlight and sell a trend or product. Someone in home design and/or paint decided 10 years ago that everything would be gray, gray, gray. Now for the last 2 years, every interior room must now be green, green, green. HGTV won't put anything on where it can't sell you something. Magnolia *does* have a few learning shows but nobody's watching that channel.

You're so right, R36, and I've never thought about that angle.

Great observation.

My new HGTV obessionn is Brian Kleinschmidt He presents very normal dude but then bam you catch the under arm ink. Then in tighter clothes he looks fuckcing hot, Nice package too,

Check out that spread

Ohh Interesting. so this Brian Kleinschmidt was on the Amazing Race in 2009, but he was married to a different woman, Miss America! lol. I guess they divorced right after the amazing race.

That damn Cordray woman had yet another kid, a boy this time.

Her hairy husband probably needs a helping hand or mouth right about now.....

R41 well shes fertile,you gotta give her that ! I actually miss their show,her incessant chatter notwithstanding. But I cut my cable package to bare bones. Xfinity is the only option in my area or Id cut the rest immediately.

I mean, I'd let Michael Cordray breed me incessantly too.

But of course R43 ! Tight hairy body and a big box,whats not to love ?

I have to say I never watched 100 Day Reno or whatever that was but I just watched the finale of the Sebring reno and OK, I totally get the fuss over Brian. He's cute and he's got a banging body.

And somehow, that Hawaii trash showed up in Sebring too.

I think Tristyn is a midget because she looked tiny next to Kamohai in Sebring. Either that or he's like 6 ft 5 in real life but they never shoot from that angle on the Hawaii show.

I like Brian, but I never considered his body "banging." Has he been working out, or are there new pictures out there I need to see?

I'd probably like the Brian I remember better than a muscled one, but I would like to see that big boy's body sans clothes, whether plain or deluxe.

(Their show is a great example of how horrible clear-cut Florida plots of land are. Must be cheap Tampa area land.)

Cameltoe is 6'5" and look at his thumbs and that face. He must have a club for a dick.

Watching an old episode of House Hunters International and this episode has a gay couple. They're moving to Copenhagen.

Kamohai is 6'2" but damn, he looked like a giant next to his wife in those Home Town Takeover scenes. I bet he DOES have a club for a dick.

I thought the whole drug abuse thing was maybe just a rumor but even his official HGTV page talks about it.

[quote] Kamohai and his wife, Tristyn, have been married for nearly a decade. How they met, however, is quite unique. The duo documented the story on their real estate podcast Deals & Aloha, which aired on their YouTube channel in 2022. Despite growing up in a supportive family — with a self-proclaimed skill of being good at almost everything — Kamohai fell into a party lifestyle, adopting alcohol and drug habits that landed him in jail on more than one occasion. As a result, he had to serve time in a treatment center. There, he not only got sober and started working for the facility — he met Tristyn. Tristyn’s mother was the executive director of the facility and Tristyn was an intern. As a former addict herself, Tristyn’s mother assured her Kamohai was a good man.

Would his load taste like Hawaiian Punch?

Fruit Juicy!

Looking at him, I would guess poi.

HGTV needs to have someone as hot as Jason Cameron.

Or someone who can shirtless that often.

Jason is hot ,but have you heard the wife ??? She gives vocal fry and upspeak both . Most unforgivable is she has taste for shit .Except in men,I'll give her that .Big cute and stupid .Perfect man !

Not that there's any dearth of hot men on HGTV. It's just that most of them keep their shirts on. Having *one* dumb beautiful man in a toolbelt and little else would be hot......

California couple looks to start anew in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Now when I watch the Hawaiian show I keep thinking "Kamohai.....clubdick."

Thanks a lot r48! LOL

Just watched a House Hunters with two gay men buying a house in Palm Springs.

Both were as nellie as the day is long so not sure who the top is there.

Just watched House Hunters Season 262, Episode 3. A white guy and a black guy - married two years - looking for their first house in Biloxi, Mississippi. Nice couple, and I assumed the black guy was the top in the relationship. Well, I changed my mind about 10 minutes into the episode when I caught the substantial VPL of the white guy. Holy mackerel, that’s quite something. There are several good VPL views throughout the episode, so not a crease in the pants. Hope someone can get a screenshot.

R60 Will have to check that out!

I'm verklempt no one's mentioned David Bromstad and lusting after his...self.

Just watched the Biloxi HH. Agree that Seth (the white guy) has nice VPL and some serious big dick energy.

Miss Bromstad is a caricature . I used to like him but I cant stand him now .

I always enjoyed watching David Bromstad flamboyantly flaunt his big gay self all over MAGA country with a smile and no apologies whatsoever.
