The homeowners, like other house shows, purchased the property before filming could begin. This implies that they aren’t really choosing between the three houses shown at the start of the episode. Because none of Joanna Gaines’ carefully arranged décor or furniture is included in the budget, the owners will only keep it if they are willing to pay for it. Similarly, not every room in the house is remodeled. Meanwhile, unsubstantiated reports claim that Chip only works on the house when the cameras are rolling.

Keeping Up With The Kardashians

I’m sure we’ve all heard of this show. It premiered in 2007 and followed the lives of the Kardashian-Jenner family members. It featured a large cast and covered many of their life events. With this in mind, it’s not surprising that they had to reshoot and edit certain shots to ensure a consistent viewing experience and timeline. According to court documents from Kim Kardashian’s divorce from Kris Humphries, producer Russell Jay stated that at least two scenes involving Humphries had been scripted or reshot. The editing process is also used heavily by the famous family.
