There are some success stories. That said, I did volunteer to help on one of these shows. One of the first things they had me do is bring gifts door to door to the neighbors. Small things like food. It was to placate them who probably were getting tired of all the banging day and night in order to finish the home on time. Most of the people I gave gifts to were nice. There were a few that wanted to argue with me. I told them they were barking up the wrong tree. If they wanted to argue, go around to the next street and do it in person. I was just a volunteer with no financial interest in the show. I didn't end up volunteering for this again.

Yep. The show wouldn't attract viewers if they built them a normal house that they can afford to maintain. Instead, they built McMansions. They'll showcase a family with a disabled son who likes basketball. What would be normal would to have a couple basketball hoops in the backyard, not build an NBA training facility. If I was searching to buy a home and they disclosed the house I'm looking at was built in a week, I wouldn't buy it. Building a house with decent quality is not done in a week.

@bokesnmokes Well, the show is out of production. I live in the L.A. Several episodes were made in the area. I'm unsure, though, what, if/any, were made after I volunteered. It was a long time ago.
