I remember a few years back some of the people on Extreme Makeover: Home edition have their homes foreclosed after the renovations took place.
 
I've always suspected as much...Kind of like when you turn your stereo back up 10 minutes after someone complains about it. As far as "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition", didn't the homeowners' property taxes go way up after the renovations?

I can't remember the details but it did happen for some of the owners. I know Hotel Impossible on Travel Channel is based on a similar concept from the Robert Irvine series. I wonder what happened some time after The production crew left like in 6 months to 2 years is it the same thing that some of the Independent Hotels went out of Business or the Hotel was taken over by a major chain like Marriot, Hyatt and Hilton?

But I know that Robert Irvine's Group went to Benicia, California and did an episode on Pappas Restaurant but what he failed to mention to the national audience is that it is also failing because that restaurant happens to be located next door to a McDonalds near the I-780 in that area. Sure Mr. Irvine can make great dishes that would work for a luxury restaurant in major cities like San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington DC, New York, and major tourist areas like Napa, Monterey, and Cape Cod but it would not work in a middle class suburbs where Chain restaurants rule the area, and Fast food restaurants.
