PT - I realize that "reality TV" is anything but reality and there isn't much of it that I can watch, but I do enjoy watching that show because I get to see what the houses and various areas of the state are like.
I approach watching those types of show as I do other types, like NCIS: I know it's all scripted, produced and directed but that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable. Although there are times when events are so outside of plausibility that it incites comments, as I did above with the income vs. budget examples. Cagary gave some plausible reasons for those, and while I agree some buyers are in that category (hoping I will be one day), I think a lot if it is manufactured and the producers are using the show as a vehicle to promote the Hawaii Life real estate business so they show specific houses to meet that goal.
But again, I watch because I'll take any opportunity to see the sites of Hawaii!
