What's up with this show, are they getting sued more than the bad contractors. It sure looks pretty gimmicky with lots of edits. Is Skip actually a contractor, or is he just there to be confrontational. Does he work or just work out?
shareAdam and Skip should appear on their own show as guests for being bad contractors.

"Мы вас похороним!"
This particular episode (S3 E7: This Flood's For You), and I've only seen a couple, seems very fake. The wife, Mia, seems very untrustworthy. I don't believe her for a second. She just feels like a scam artist. I also don't like that when the contractor was actually given time to speak, they gave him one minute timed by Adam holding his breath. Another reason is the home owners did NOTHING to clean up the mess he supposedly left. They were living, with their son who's asthmatic, with a construction mess everywhere...for 8 months. Maybe it would have taken a week to clean up, but at least it would have been cleaned up. Not to mention they left their home open to environmental hazards and risk people just climbing into their bathroom window to rob them or worse. This one particular story reeks of BS. I felt bad for the contractor in this one.
Bottom line, a wronged person has a responsibility to ease their own suffering and if they don't they're responsible for problems arisen from their own inaction. A $25 piece of wood, some nails and a hammer for the exposed window hole and a cleaning up of the rooms affected would have relieved them of a lot of stress...but me thinks they liked it dramatic. So much so that the mom said she would take her kid and move back to Israel. Ya, OK.
Your not kidding about this show. This show has been sued by one of the contractors and by one of the families they were supposedly helping. The only reason these type of shows stay on is because they are so cheap to make. Their plan of attack is to force a contractor to sign a release and give him $10,000 so they can yell at him, then they do a massive amount of editing.

Within complexity lies simpleness.
The contractor I see. He gets pissed because he's a garbage contractor, but he saw money with them paying him 10,000 dollars, then realizes that it makes him look bad, so he wants more money. That I say tough eggs to, he's got no one to blame for that but himself. Either the show calls him out, or he eventually gets sued down the line, that's not Viacom's fault, that's his.
The family on the other hand... yeah, I feel like that's pretty bad. I mean, I'm sure one could argue that maybe the family did it for more money because, from the looks of it, they were the very first episode and might have not gotten an appearance fee, or just want some more money because they figure maybe they could get it, but I feel like they could go back to the house and right it either way.
Do you think the contractor signed on the spot, or did he think it over for a couple of days? Bottom line is, he should have let a lawyer look it over for him.
I don't think there is anything noble in this show. Their care in trying to right an injustice is purely coincidental and exploitation of the situation is paramount.
