4leafclover July 21, 2014 Share July 21, 2014 So the lake house wasn't for sale, the real estate agent doesn't even work in that area and Tori and Dean renovated a house they rented??? So, apparently the show paid for the redo (as well as the rent and likely, the hotel they all stayed in) and the McDermott's skip off into the sunset after painting the floors, nailing the old deck onto the master bedroom walls and leaving their family graffiti all over the bathroom door! Geesh, and they have the nerve to call this reality TV? (The best part of that entire renovation was the contractor)! 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10359-tori-dean-cabin-fever/page/2/#findComment-216374
LuckyBitch July 21, 2014 Author Share July 21, 2014 (edited) @4leafclover, yes, that about sums it up. Plus, they probably paid to have a crew go back in there and repaint all the walls, and strip the floors of the hideous blue, purple, green, and pink paint. Also, to get rid of the stupid public bathroom stall and urinal.

preciousperfect July 21, 2014 Share July 21, 2014 I have to say it's really gross that they told the kids oh these are your special rooms etc. and wrote their names on everything knowing full well they were never coming back. That is messed up for the kids. That goes beyond the bounds of scripted reality tv for me. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10359-tori-dean-cabin-fever/page/2/#findComment-217623
watcherwoman July 21, 2014 Share July 21, 2014 I finally caught a few episodes of this show. I know it's been mentioned a hundred times, but, Tori has to be the most self-centered person alive. Her "vision" trumps everything and everyone. I never thought I'd feel sorry for Deano, but my gawd, she is exhausting! I have always thought Tori was on drugs. She acts bizarre and her skinny body tells me she is doing something. I think on True Tori, she mentioned Liam was afraid to sleep alone. Maybe that's why he shared a room with Stella. Oh heck, I doubt they ever stayed in that home. She's just so full of it, I can't believe anything she says. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10359-tori-dean-cabin-fever/page/2/#findComment-218483
LuckyBitch August 2, 2014 Author Share August 2, 2014 Too Much Tori & Dean — Couple’s Latest Reality TV Show Fails MISERABLY With Only 60K Viewers In Premiere Show Tori Spelling and cheating husband Dean McDermott have made a living off reality TV shows, but judging by stats for their latest endeavor — fans are tuning out. Just months before it was revealed that McDermott, 47, cheated on Spelling, 41, while he was in Toronto the couple filmed a show together in Canada in which they renovated a lake-side cottage but RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned the premiere show was an epic disaster. Tori & Dean: Cabin Fever premiered on the Great American Country network on July 4 and according to the folks over at Nielsen — the world’s leading TV audience rating company — the episode had a mind-bogglingly low viewership of just 60,000 households. But the ratings are a far cry from the amount of viewers that tuned in to see Spelling’s marriage to McDermott crumble apart in the form of a Lifetime docu-series, True Tori, which averaged just under one million viewers at 987,000. That’s more than 16 times the viewers Tori & Dean: Cabin Fever brought in! Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10359-tori-dean-cabin-fever/page/2/#findComment-253984
GaT August 2, 2014 Share August 2, 2014 First, I am highly ashamed that I am one of those 60,000 households. Second, I think that the fact that it was on the Great American Country network has a lot to do with nobody watching. I didn't even know I got that network until I wanted to watch the show, I had never even heard of it before, & I bet a lot of other people haven't either. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10359-tori-dean-cabin-fever/page/2/#findComment-253997

MrsClaus August 3, 2014 Share August 3, 2014 I'm wondering if this wasn't supposed to end up on HGTV or DIY Network. Both are owned by Scripps Networks Interactive which also owns GAC. They probably took one look at it and decided to pass it off to GAC in hopes to claim it aired and never have to deal with Tori again. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10359-tori-dean-cabin-fever/page/2/#findComment-257213

They probably took one look at it and decided to pass it off to GAC in hopes to claim it aired and never have to deal with Tori again. @MrsClaus, I think you're right. When this show was first announced last August, they said it was going to air this spring on HGTV. Then, without explanation, it never aired in the spring and showed up on July 4th on GAC. ‘Tori & Dean: Cabin Fever’ Set For Spring: By THE DEADLINE TEAM | Monday August 26, 2013 @ 1:27pm PDT Production has begun on Tori & Dean: Cabin Fever, a series that follows Tori Spelling, hubby Dean McDermott and their four kids as they head to Ontario, Canada, to renovate a lakeside cottage. We follow the family as they experience the highs and lows of cottage life – including canoeing, mosquitoes, eccentric neighbors and potential bear run-ins. Cineflix is producing with Spelling and McDermott exec producing. It’s slated to air on CMT in Canada and HGTV in the U.S. in spring 2014.

Jennifersdc August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 This is really the only one thing I don't like about this website, can't see the most recent postings. Randomly read Tori's first book after seeing it in the airport a bunch (thank god for Kindle). If she wasn't Aaron Spellings daughter though, I'm not sure anybody would still be interested. Surprisingly enough I enjoyed her first book enough to get the rest. I'd like to say I wouldn't be one of the 60K who watched Cabin Fever in Canada, but that wouldn't be true. Although I did stop watching True Tori (never watched the reality show before). I'm actually posting now cause I just read Candy Spelling's book (god help me). She was actually pretty gracious about her daughter (IMO). She did say something that made me think more about Tori's (now apparent) bullshit. Tori Spelling (and her children) have a fairly healthy trust fund in addition to her paltry inheritance (I was actually with her on that). Duh - of course she does. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10359-tori-dean-cabin-fever/page/2/#findComment-317693

Leigh3 September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 I watched the Cabin Fever marathon this weekend...I still don't know why. I learned I will never, never, never call my husband "babe" again and nor will I allow him to call me "babe". Babe=gag! Tori was so pouty in these episodes. She must have her way. Realizing that they never owned the cabin, but rented is irritating. Why say you are buying a cabin when you know you will not. These days wthl the web and social media they had to know the truth will leak out. Would love to know if the actual owners changed the interior in anyway after Tori and Dean headed back to LA. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10359-tori-dean-cabin-fever/page/2/#findComment-337335
