What you don’t know aboutFixer Upper?
And in fact, it’s a lot less perfect than you imagine.
But as it turns out, those house hunting scenes might not be as realistic as it seems.
“You have to be under contract to be on the show,” he explained.
“They show you other homes but you already have one.
After they select you, they send your house to Chip and Joanna and their design team.”
So whileFixer Uppershows contestants shopping around for their new home, in reality, they’ve already chosen it.
And, not only that, but the Gaines have already started a design scheme for it as well.
And as it turns out, that poster has a pretty cool story.
When he put this thing together, I said, ‘That is awesome,'" he revealed.
Yes, but there’s a catch.
No matter how magicalFixer Upperlooks, it’s not easy to be on the show.
And perhaps most importantly, it’s pretty expensive.
Well, at least not on the show.
“We did have to take time off to film,” Jeff explained.
“We did all our shots in one day.
It was exhausting.”
But as far asFixer Upperis concerned, it all moves fairly quickly.

“But it’s inevitable.
I’ll need more books, I’ll need a certain vase.

Additionally, they’re probably staying here for the foreseeable future.

Chip also toldGlamourthat there were some logistical reasons for staying in Waco.
However, Chip also shared that out-of-state projects weren’t out of the question.
Still, on reveal day, Rachel admitted looked behind the poster.

there were still some negatives.
I guess that’s the price you pay to have your house on TV," Jeff said.
Hey, it’s possible for you to’t win them all.
But what you might not have realized is that amount of celebrity can make filming the show pretty difficult.
More than that, it was honestly shocking that the huge crowd had gathered right at the scene.

“Look at all the people in the back!
That’s crazy!”
