There are many anti-Scientology websites out there and one good one is the one pointed out in the other answer: .īut as points out one might want to make a distinction between Scientology and the Church of Scientology (CoS) (Some might argue that the C in CoS means Cult). The other answer given here seems to ignore this. And when you put a label on any system of belief you will have people putting the label on themselves but disagreeing with parts of what the label covers.

Of course this can turn into a discussion about what defines Scientology. But if the question is whether or not all Scientologists believe in the story the answer in no. If the question in whether of not the story of Lord Xenu is part of what is taught in the Church of Scientology, then answer is yes. But you have to be a bit careful when you ask about what people believe. Other common searches: “Are Hilary and David married in real life?” and “Why were David and Hilary replaced by new hosts?” This is one of the top searches that brings people to my blog for answers each day: “Is Love It or List It fake?”Īpparently there are a lot of people out there who 1) watch the popular show on HGTV but 2) aren’t buying that all the drama in the episodes is real.I agree with what has been said in the other answer. Let’s put it this way: these kinds of shows are entertainment. They are not documentaries.Īnd if you really believe that the same basic pattern plays out naturally in every episode (the homeowners don’t trust Hilary’s plan, they hate the first house David shows them, Hilary runs into a major construction/financial problem that requires eliminating one of the projects she promised the homeowners she’d do, and then David finds them their dream house),well, I have a bridge to sell you.

I’ve heard rumors that two endings are always filmed, with the homeowners saying both “We’re going to love it!” and “We’re going to list it!” Then the producers choose which one to air during the final edit. At least not all the time.Ī reader named Jen wrote me about this, saying: So…if that’s true, then the outcome has nothing to do with what happened in real life. Many people that appear on the show have no intentions of actually moving, but signed up for the show so they could get their renovations done at a discount. I’m not sure what the actual discount is, perhaps lower labor costs, but it’s cheaper than if they had hired an independent contractor to do the work.
