Television is a fun break from reality. Coming home, kicking your shoes off and flipping on the boob tube is a great way to get away from your horrible job, family, life… unless you love the reality TV. Then, sadly, you’re bringing that world home… especially when the shows are about homes! As benign as HGTV might seem, some of these fans are taking their love, and hatred, from a 2 to a 10 and Tweeting for the whole world to see.

The 6th ring of hell is just people on House Hunters telling you they're not buying the house because don't like the color of the paint.
— Paula Skaggs (@paulaskaggs) January 8, 2016
Your budget is almost $1million… but paint is what’s holding you back. Mmmk.

Every episode of flip or flop:
Tarek: "WE'RE ALREADY SO OVER BUDGET THIS COULD FALL THROUGH THIS IS GONNA BE TIGHT"
*makes $60,000 profit*— chlo (@chloererb) January 8, 2016
Curious how much money Tarek has when he says at dinner, “Hey, could you get this? Money’s a bit tight this month…”

Funny how marriages before HGTV survived on actually doing the stuff you’re watching.

I feel like HGTV is creating some false expectations for the attractiveness of the contractor you hire for home renovations.
— Simon Holland (@simoncholland) April 29, 2015
Oh your contractor will have a six pack alright… in the cooler in his truck.
