House Hunter Whiners

Okay, so I'm watching House Hunters again and I find myself wanting to throw something at the tv.  I've had this feeling before.  Usually the cause is some entitled, whiny female.  Do they pick the people for this show based on how obnoxious they appear on camera?

Here's a checklist for how to appear on House Hunters in the most unflattering light possible:

• Have a huge "wish list" of "must-haves" in your "dream house".
• Have a budget for your house in exact inverse to the size of the wish list.
• Complain about every room in every house you see.  Find very little to like about each house.
• Accuse your real estate agent of not understanding your need to find the perfect house for a small amount of money.
• Accuse your real estate agent of incompetence for not finding you the perfect house for your paltry budget.
• Act like doing any work at all in your future home is simply out of the question.
• Immediately enter a room and complain about the paint color, because we all know how incredibly difficult and expensive it is to repaint a room.
• Act as though not having stainless steel appliances in your starter home is a felony worthy of the death penalty.
• Demand a gourmet kitchen and then jokingly mention how you hate to cook and never plan on doing any cooking.
• Question the presence of a dining room, especially by saying something like, "What am I supposed to do with this room!  This isn't how I live!"

And yet I keep watching.  

Don't even get me started on the dimwit on House Hunters International who complained the entire episode about how terribly difficult it was to find a suitable Parisian apartment for her measly $3 - $4 million budget.  This chick and her French hubby were looking at some absolutely stunning and huge apartments with views of the freaking Eiffel Tower and all she could do was complain that the kitchens needed to be gutted.
