September 2. Day 245. "Reality" TV


Here something that will shock you to the core: reality TV is not real. I know, right? There is some construction, some manipulation in the reality. Who would have thought apart from everyone. Today we went to inspect a home that had been given the Charlie and Shaynna for Selling Houses Australia. We'd seen the house pre make over but were busy on the official reveal weekend. The formula is people saying really mean things about the house. Make over. People saying really nice things about the house. Auction. Huge profits. But the house sold before auction. So what do you do? Act like it never happened and get more nice comments to fill the void. Let me say the make over was impressive. It was classic Charlie and Shaynna. That bit is real. But I laughed when they peeled the sold sticker off the board off the front of the house to get footage of us arriving to inspect. For a time it was on the side of our car until Drama Teen returned it to its rightful home before we left. We walked up the steps multiple times to get different angles. We entered rooms repeatedly. We said the same things over and over so they had a choice of how to use it. It's what we all know happens but it's fascinating seeing it in action just the same. But there is one thing that upsets me greatly. Host Andrew Winter has left just before we arrived. Nooooo. The reality is I'm a bit of a fan girl - of reality TV, of Selling House Australia, of Andrew Winter. If it means repeatedly walking up the front path constructed by Charlie I'll do it. I really, really will.
