'Married to Real Estate' Is HGTV's True Future

When it comes to HGTV, they like a formula. First, it was flipping shows. Then it was married couples doing home renovation. Since the popularity of Chip and Joanna Gaineson Fixer Upper, the network has done everything in its power to replicate the success of the show. They've worked hard to ensure that they continue to engage their viewers with sugary-sweet couples who make magic inside the home. When it comes to the Southern-fried country couples, there has been success in the likes of Jenny and Dave Marrs of Fixer to Fabulous and Erin and Ben Napier of Home Town. But there can only be so many of those couples before the stereotype gets worn out.
