The Clear Sign Chip & Joanna Gaines' Reputation With HGTV Fans Has Soured

On May 20 2024, Chip and Joanna Gaines released the first trailer for “Fixer Upper: The Lakehouse.” The new series, which celebrates the 10th anniversary of the “Fixer Upper” HGTV premiere, follows the married duo as they renovate a mid century home located near Lake Waco in Texas. “This lake house, there’s something significant that this project landed on our 10 year Fixer anniversary,” Joanna says in the teaser. After arriving at the property, the two look in awe before Chip exclaims, “I bought that lake house for our 10 year celebration.” While the trailer was full of quirky moments and chaotic demolition scenes, some fans couldn’t get past Chip admitting that he purchased the home.

In the comment section of Magnolia Network’s promotional Instagram post a handful of viewers called out the Gaines for showing off their massive net worth. “I don’t like watching HGTV personalities renovating their own luxury 2nd or 3rd homes. It looks like they’re showing off,” one disgruntled person wrote. Other fans used the opportunity to criticize the pair for moving their content from HGTV, with one individual writing: “I guess that’s what more money does, they forget about their first fans.” While Chip admitted to buying the home for the 10 year “Fixer Upper” celebration, it doesn’t mean they are keeping the property for themselves. In fact, the pair have turned a handful of featured homes into rental properties, like the Historic Hillcrest Estate and Hillcrest Cottage, per Business Insider.
