I completely agree with this JAYBEE! I haven't seen this episode yet because I forgot to DVR it and for some reason it is not available on demand for me yet.
My in-laws were on the show Love It or List It, Too. They told me there was a zero percent chance that they were going to sell after the renovations but they still show them looking at houses so that was totally for the show. There was the drama when they found a water leak that was going to be expensive to fix so they had to decide not to do the bathroom remodel. Well, there never was a water leak and they never intended to remodel the bathroom. That was all drama added by the producers to make the "reality" more interesting. They did get some of their house remodeled and it looks great but the way they present it on TV is NOT reality; if it was, I don't think anyone would have watched since it went pretty smoothly.
So call me cynical if you want but I take these "reality" shows with a grain of salt. Especially since this season has tried top the previous episode with even more sensationalism. I would need a HUGE amount of evidence to believe Gilbert had sex with her much less raped her. Maybe I will change my tune once I see the episode but there have been too many shenanigans this season for me to believe much of what they present as "reality."
