The Sting (1973)
Great!
This is one of my faves. Can watch it over and again. A movie to take with you if you were stranded on a desert island.
Hotel Impossible: Boss's Time Out (2016)
Horrible Owner!
I've watched Anthony go into some awful places and deal with delusional owners, but this was the worst. He figured out right away there was no helping the selfish, racist, narcissistic co-owner. This was almost as bad as the place in Woodstock, NY. Bedbugs (ick), broken furniture, filth and a pool growing who knows what. I won't spoil the entire show, but suffice it to say that I don't think the hotel will be in business too much longer. I just feel bad for the dedicated workers who have been beaten down by the jerk of an owner. He brow-beats his ex-girlfriend (co-owner) and refuses to face reality. Hope he ends up on the street so he knows what it feels like.
Love It or List It (2008)
List It, Please!
When it first aired, I liked the show, but it's degraded into something difficult to watch. Yes, Hillary and David can be abrupt and snotty, but I am SO over the homeowners. The spouse that wants to stay is always negative of anything David shows them, and when Hillary can't deliver on her design due to bad wiring or asbestos, they b!tch about that, too. Lately, I've seen shows where Hillary has $100,000+ to renovate and she still can't do the whole makeover.
It drives me crazy when David finds a house that meets all the requested needs but the couple still 'Loves' their old house even if there is no more space, just a pretty paint job and new decor.
For good reno stuff, I watch Mike Holmes, Property Brothers or Income Property. Those guys can do the job.
