Some people are so hard to please. Nikki is always upbeat and optimistic, very funny too. Love this series.

[@IntuitiveCoachTheresa]

Persnickety is a stressful way to live....

[@SazachaNancySktghaxeeahw-rp5gd]

It’s 2024 all those fabulous homes are now over 2 million

[@brianduffy1338]

(Joan here). Some people on this feed are overly-judgmental about this couple. This is their money (and it's a lot), the choice they make the future they'll have to live with and in (and not the presenter's or this show's audience). They were clear about their wish list and also clear/factual about their feedback. They were appreciative of their time with both Nikki and the show. Just what is wrong with any of that? I have watched many ETTC shows and I find way too many people either down on the couple or down on the presenter. How about people start pulling back on the negative lens they view these programs through? I believe you will find lots to appreciate and enjoy without having to diss someone or something.

[@bodilyc]

All you say is true and no one is doubting that. It is their money but what I think ppl have noticed is the very unappreciative and almost sultry attitude of these buyers. Ppl are commenting on this because is just seems so obviously misguided and entitled. That troubles some ppl and fair enough they can have their comment. You obviously feel differently and well you may. All entitled to their opinions.

We have been married for 40 years and the Mystery House would be perfect for us as the grounds are level, and having it energy efficient and flooded with light is so appealing. For a "Forever Home' as this couple wanted, I never believed it when we were a younger couple, but having things like level walking areas and reduced heating bills that means you can stay in your home as you get older during retirement.

[@cate284]

House #1 for me...I could never get enough of that view

[@julen2380]

Right? I completely agreed with them that the tiny windows in the bedrooms were not the best features but with 100k under their budget, they could have put in french windows. Oh well. Maybe to many maybes for them which I can understand.

[@monicatoro2286]

That house was absolutely stunning, I couldn't believe their cold reaction because I would have started crying.

[@BritGirlJay]

Seems the couple really want a modern interior, maybe an old shell though, with land. Maybe a bigger barn conversion or farm with outbuildings? I liked the houses they saw, thought the mystery was great but maybe not for them. Nikki great as always.

[@millylekoma1129]

Oh they have lived in my beautiful country Botswana ❤

[@annietaylor2898]

If I had the budget, it would be hard to pick amongst any of these stunning homes and properties! Enjoyed watching the affable gentleman and his cerebral wife analyze the pros and cons of each locale including a possible foray into the alpaca industry. Alpacas and lamas always struck me as a semi-mystical creatures straight out of a Dr. Seuss story book. Almost surreal to see them running around the countryside and producing valuable fur that can be woven right into knit cap or sweater for everyday wear.

[@lovesagt]

This couple is way to particular, husband, "I have to duck down or all I see is green."??? The mystery house is fab. Nicki was great, couple was thumbs down.

[@micaylabirondo836]

I agree. This video made me appreciate how great Nicki is. But this couple was SO negative. Is dissatisfaction their personal lifestyle? I feel sorry for the people who end up with them as neighbors!

[@IntuitiveCoachTheresa]

Just for the record, I'm American and LOOOOVE the older buildings. Absolutely would invest and move to the UK if I could. 🧡💚

[@juliawitt3813]

What a great pragmatic couple, and amazing properties. And of course , Nicki is SUCH a gem.

[@maureenbeckstead6407]

Poor man would constantly be thumping his head on doorways and beams in the 2nd property.😂

[@viviannedonnelly233]

I love Nikki and all the hosts of ETTC. I do however enjoy more the couples with a sense of hope and lightheartedness, since I'm watching the show for an escape and a positive vibe.

[@irenebaker2412]

I’m American and I love thatched houses!

[@jmfs8738]

Money doesn’t buy everything, and every house is a compromise - even if you build it yourself. Trite, but true. When he mentioned bending down, I thought, that’s it, no hope. How hard is it to build a window dormer or three? Kinda hard to watch silliness after a bit.

[@alisonshanahan1237]

The 3rd house is fantastic.

[@deniseg-hill1730]

I have relatives who live in a town in Gloucestershire, the views from their houses are fantastic

[@user-co4gs3hm8p]

The woman said "We want to look out and see something beautiful. That will do" That WILL DO? My gosh entitled rich woman, what do you want! House 1 is absolutely gorgeous! I'd take it in a heart beat if i could. SOME PEOPLE seem to have no idea how fortunate they really are!

[@bettinabarry8423]

They should find some land with views and build their own.

[@zerocapacitance1]

My favorite show

[@bjbrown]

I wonder why so many want to keep alpacas and how many understand the work involved. A glamping or B and B requires a lot of work. Do they have experience in hospitality? I can see how they want to see the future but how realistic is it?

[@mariadams9021]

Yes, they do have experience in hospitality as they mentioned. They have holiday rentals where they are now.

[@trezanjeri3810]

I love this show... I tried to watch the Canadian version, but it's just not as good as this one.

[@lindamurns1245]

I'm so bummed the channel was sold 'dabl' and now I don't get this show along with all the other great ones!

[@barbraluce5706]

Me, too. I really liked DABL as a lifestyle channel

[@mpourratt]

I think they are now looking for their forever home. Keep looking good luck

[@user-gz2hq8tc9n]

I love this show but they took it off TV. I miss it.

[@roelienpostma2367]

Nr 1 has the best location for a camping site with tents!

[@toddstubbs5597]

In America, she's called a Karen, never happy!

[@bodilyc]

As a dual citizen, UK and USA...she gives the Americans a bad vibe.... I was watching thinking " oh here we go, another entitled American embarrassing the rest of us"

[@abigailgerlach5443]

Beautiful county, though most of it seems to be uphill! Ask for a house with some flat land. Lol #1 - love it! I don't even care the roof line would give me a crick in my neck! I want an alpaca! Bummer! My favorite! #2 - love this one too. I don't need a holiday let, but I suppose I'd have to have relatives visit often. Mystery - I like it, but I'm not sure why. The view is flat.

[@BlackStump172]

I loved number three . Easy modern living and lovely outlook . I liked this couple .

[@jennyc1846]

Before I even start to watch this I just have to say "Nicki you get more beautiful every day dear lady". Dont you have flies in the UK? I dont see many if any screens on doors or windows...? Just curious.. Not exactly full of enthusiasm is she??

[@seattlebeard]

This show makes me wonder how the rest of us manage to live our lifes without a 900 square foot kitchen and a view from every toilet.🙄🙄🙄

[@lisadavis321]

Who wants alpaca so you ca n look at them “out in the field”? Is that a good reason to have living animals - so they look pretty in the front field??

[@user-co4gs3hm8p]

Exactly! Living beings are Not DECORATIONS! They need love, respect, and care; things I doubt this woman is capable of giving!

[@tinacollins2055]

I thought this couple wanted light and airy without beams. I wonder why the producers do NOT stick with what the couples want/ As soos as I saw the older part of the house, I would have said no way lets move on to the next house.

[@bjbrown]

I think it has to do with what is available at the time of the show. Shopping for the right home isn't easy.

[@judithburke1539]

I agree. They mentioned that this very problem was one of the determining factors in seeking out a new home.

[@debrap947]

Seems this hard to please couple need to build their own home.

[@huymammin5915]

750 000 £ 😐 you could build at least 3 of those in bulgaria, near the sea, with few decars of vine grapes each 😂 there is no superexpensive panoramic doors and windows that could cost a lot +. made of usual stone, very simple roof, no terraces or anything that could be expensive. obviously no artworks masterpieces in interior too. cheap and simple. but, i suppose if you compare it to prices at local market or some crappy apartment in berlin maybe its not even expensive😂

[@huymammin5915]

i would say 8-10 of those for 850 000 🤔

[@user-co4gs3hm8p]

The mystery house was cold looking and unappealing, yuck!

[@caracampbell1715]

Why show them a house with dark beams when she said she didn’t like them?

[@tjhill4044]

The wife wants animals just for the look?????

[@roelienpostma2367]

That pink dress is gorgeous sexy!

[@bosse641]

Stunning.
