It’s a familiar scenario: Grown children urging their parents to relocate, promising a better life, a warmer climate, easier living. But when those grown children are the Property Brothers, Jonathan and Drew Scott, the promise takes on a whole new dimension – literally. This time, the “Big Promises” aren’t for some random client but for their own parents, finally getting their dream home in Los Angeles.
For years, Jim and Joanne Scott have been bouncing between guest rooms and temporary housing, held hostage by construction delays. They’re not exactly slumming it, mind you, what with Jonathan and Drew at the helm, but the anticipation of a place to call their own has been steadily building. Viewers get a front-row seat to the sibling rivalry, budget wrangling, and design clashes that make home renovation such a universal experience, even for TV’s most famous twins.
This Wednesday, HGTV viewers get to see if the brothers can finally deliver on their, well, big promises. “Don’t Hate Your House,” airing at 9:00 PM, documents the final stages of the Scott family project, culminating in what we hope is a heartwarming (and beautifully staged) reveal. It’s a personal project for the brothers and we imagine it might be the first time they’ve actually faced pressure to deliver, given their audience is probably Jim and Joanne, two people unlikely to fall for a little overblown reno theater.
So, tune in Wednesday, December 11, 2024, at 9:00 PM on HGTV to witness the Scott family saga unfold. Will there be tears of joy? Shrieks of horror? Passive-aggressive comments about tile choices? This week’s HGTV is expected to bring answers to these pressing questions.
