11 Thoughts You've Probably Had While Watching Fixer Upper

There are certain things to expect on every episode of HGTV's Fixer Upper: some crazy "before and afters," Chip Gaines's goofy sense of humor, Joanna's impressive ability to envision an entire home before it's been renovated, and a whole lot of fun. Everything else is a wildcard — there's no predicting which house somebody will choose or how their home renovation will go! One thing we do know, though, is the emotional process of watching an episode of the fan-favorite home makeover show. It's an emotional roller coaster of anxiety, hilarity, envy, and pure awe. If you're an HGTV addict who can't get enough of the Gaineses and their company, Magnolia Homes, then you've almost definitely had these same reactions to Fixer Upper.
