So it makes sense that “Good Bones” is arguably one of the most popular shows on HGTV.
According toDiscovery, the show’s fifth season garnered more than 22 million views.
In 2020, it also scored the top spot as the No.
Lucky for fans, these powerhouses are coming back for more.
Can you explain the big changes in the company and in the family?
Yeah, I mean, obviously lots of changes.
I’ve got two kiddos now.
So I’m not discussing floor plans with her.
What’s it been like for you since your mom’s partially retired?
Do you ever wish she’d come back to full-time?
I mean, it’s a double-edged sword both ways.
I’m building an empire."
And she’s like, “Well, yeah, let’s slow down, girl.
You’re going too fast.
You’re doing too much.”
So, she’s feeling like she has time.
Do you feel that your work thus far has made an impact on the community?
And you might see the tipping point there, and it just makes such a bigger difference.
We’ve done over 100 houses now in probably a square mile.
When we have the buyers come in at the end, it’s always exciting.
So there’s some fun, special moments with that.
What has been the hardest part of filming this new season?
I mean, the pandemic.
That, obviously, I think that’s everyone’s answer.
What was the hardest part of anything this last year?
you’re free to just wait, but we’re renovating houses.
So, it was a tricky dance for …
I think it was about six to eight weeks before we got a really good new normal down.
Was going out and being around all of the contractors and being around the film crew stressful for you?
I’m just not that kind of person.
So, not getting the job done is more stressful than staying home and maybe not getting sick.
And our testing protocols are … We were doing three days a week.
Every season, so many things.
We could make 100 more episodes with everything that gets cut from the show.
But there’s only so much time, so.
And we probably have a 10-hour long episode.
I have to hear more about this poo-flinging fight.
Where did the poo come from?
And Cory and Tad were manhandling me out of the house to make me smell something or do something.
I can’t remember what they were trying to get me to do.
I had my legs splayed on a doorway so they couldn’t push me through it.
It got very intense.
And then it just went downhill very quickly.
Those are things that probably will never make TV because it’s gross.
I don’t know.
That is a classic comedy moment.
Because we have a lot of moments that we think are great that maybe aren’t for public consumption.
What’s it like working together?
Does it bring you closer together or does it create more challenges?
We had periods where we weren’t close and didn’t really talk much.
And then we had periods where we were probably dysfunctionally close.
And then you settle somewhere in between there.
And I think with her semi-retirement, it’s helped us get a little bit of perspective.
We were just in such different places with where we were trying to go with our lives.
I’m like, “I’m building this brand and this life.”
But pretty up and down per most …
I mean, we definitely have our ugly moments, and those probably get edited out.
