On the Hunt

My brother-in-law Joe tipped me off to a spoiler for House Hunters. If you don't want the suspense to be ruined, don't read the following.

He read an article that discussed how House Hunters is tapped. It's taped in "reverse" meaning the people already bought the house they're going to buy before the show is taped. Since they have already purchased the home, their house is empty.

So, you can tell which of the three homes they're going to buy because it is void of furniture.

I have seen this be true 99% of the time. I have caught an episode or two where two homes were empty so there was still a little bit of suspense to be had! Also, in House Hunters International the houses are usually all furnished.

Oh those producers, always up to something!
