Why does Hilary win 95% of the time?

1. Is the whole point of the show to convince people it's better to renovate than to buy a new home?

2. Is David on the show simply to be the villain or comic relief, while Hilary is the star?

Her beautiful work adds value to the homes, and maybe some people don't want to be bothered with a move.

Yes, Hilary's renovations are good and do add value to the home. But if the families have already put everything they own into storage for a few months while the renovations are being done, it's not a very hard step to just move everything to a new bigger, better home that doesn't have a "to do" list of things Hilary can't update in the old home.

(In case you haven't guessed, I always root for David!)

I never even thought about that.

The outcome is predetermined. The show is presented as a comedy, with David the traditional sitcom buffoon "husband" who usually comes out second to the smarter "wife".
