Property Virgins with Host Egypt Sherrod
I love Egypt Sherrod & the NEW Property Virgins show! I also listen to her radio show on V103-Atlanta GA. She's a savvy business woman!

She is growing on me. I liked Sandra as the host but she has moved on. I haven't seen a lot of the new Property Virgins with Egypt but I have liked the shows.

Just as it took some folks a while to warm up to Sandra when the show first started, it's taken a little time for folks to warm up to Egypt. I'm glad they gave it a brief hiatus for a while so folks could settle down and give her a chance. And I too like seeing the Atlanta shows. I like to go to the MetroBrokers.com website and try and see if any of the houses they show are still on the market. It helps knowing the area a bit though!


But that's just my 2 cents!

So true.

I live in Texas and can't believe what $160K bought in Atlanta. Didn't realize they had a housing bubble (that burst) there.

I actually found tonight's episode (9/11/2012) actually kind of insulting. I had some folks over for the evening and told them I thought the new season of this show was in Atlanta instead of NYC, so we tuned in.

I'm not sure who did the "casting" for the woman in the show tonight - but - seriously?? I'm not even sure I can say this without the system blocking it, but those short short "hoochie-momma" dresses that looked sprayed on? C'mon... was someone in the producer's department at HGTV purposely trying to insult Atlanta? People who dress like that here are either A) Charging by the hour, or B) Laughed out of the room by most other people here.

Look, I know the range of people buying homes are just a diverse as any of us, but for real, it must have taken a lot of time to find a dozen stereotypes wrapped up into one human body for this episode. Can we try to not insult Atlanta's image next time you do the casting for home buyers for the show, please? Thank you!

I have to agree with Greg. Who is the knuckle head who thought it might be fun to let the Buyer on the 9-11-12 show dress like a "lady-of-negotiable-affections"? Good Grief - did you see her (wait, how could you miss the bright red spandex) Frankly, I couldn't look at anything else but her rather ample figure, mainly because it was so prominently displayed in what can only be described as tacky, retina-burning, shrink-wrap. This show is supposed to be about property, correct? What in the name of all good taste, does this autrociously dressed woman have to do with buying property.

Are the producers of the show so desperate that they had to stoop to shock-and-awe to get our attention?

That's why they call it Hotlanta, right!

Lissen, I'm a native NYer and currently a Texas resident. If I had a dollar for every ugly, stupid stereotype made about Texans and New Yorkers, I'd be a billionaire by now.

BTW, if you really want to reach the right folks with your grievances, you need to contact Cineflix, the production company for Property Virgins: http://www.cineflixproductions.com/production

@CC-IMO - "it's the same critics WHO complained about the early beginnings of this show"

I don't know if you were calling me out on this, but in case you hadn't noticed, my post was my FIRST post, and no, I have no problem with the show, with the new host, with the old host, with b**bs in general (I have them, too) BUT I do have a problem with a producer using a trashy looking buyer to ramp up ratings.

I'm sure the buyer on the show is a nice person, takes care of her family, is nice to animals, etc, etc....but it's hard to "see the good in these people" when you can't get past the Hooker apparel and the 14" cleavage being shoved in the viewer's face.

So - you go right ahead and see the good, bunkie. As for me, I'm calling em like I see em, and that whole episode was T-A-C-K-Y to the max!

sorry I was not calling anyone out "maybe" is just what it says

I don't care personally how other people dress

"entertainment is entertainment" regardless of how they dress?

as for the good in people, I try to keep an open mind and look past defects, I see enough in the mirror every day LOL

and I have seen a lot worse on other networks LOL


as for "BUNKIE" LOL I am from Calabria Italy, I don't think that shoe fits me SmileSmileSmileSmileSmile

WOW, Greg and Tobewan.

I so agree with your observations. This woman was over-the-top. On this board, we usually use the acronym HO for Homeowner....

I thought in the last show that Egypt looked like she'd taken off a bunch of weight. Next to Michelle, didn't she look downright SVELTE? She and Michelle looked like The Good and The Bad of a full-figured woman. Egypt had it going on.

Egypt did lose a lot of weight and she dresses pretty well, as for the Buyer, don't agree either with how she dressed and wondered why the producers didn't tone her down, but as I previously said how people dress doesn't bother me,

Its how they act that makes me what to praise them or scream at them LOL

@aychihuahua - Thanks for the link.....I sent an email with my "grievences"

I'm from the NW - we get our share of stereotyping as well, but this went so far beyond good taste, I just had to speak my peace.

Gracious, who knew there were such easily offended tender sensibilities on this site.(eye roll)

Who the heck cares what the buyer was wearing.

If I were the seller of the house she bought, she could walk around n.ekkid for all I care. Just show me the money, honey. That's all I'd be concerned about.

I thought the same thing about Egypt. That buyer really was over the top. Thankfully, though I live in metro-Atlanta, I have not personally experienced anyone like her.

But you have to remember - she lives in the same state that has given us Honey Boo Boo (on TLC). I think the TV producers kind of enjoy seeing how folks will react!


But that's just my 2 cents!

I'm proud to say that I only recently heard the name Honey Boo Boo. I think she's a kid but that's all I know. See, ignorance can be bliss.

Can you imagine some stodgy type or even redneck type as he watches Michelle moving next door? Priceless.

Personally, I would be quite amused. I suspect that she would probably be a comical neighbor (I mean that in a good way).

RE: the weight loss

Read somewhere that the new hostess was heading off on maternity leave after wrapping her first season.

All that and she didn't even end up buying a house after all....!

I've gotten to like her. She is married and has a daughter. Her husband is a dj. She films PV on week-ends because she has a radio talk show during the week.

I just caught a few minutes of the show last night and I know now what so infuriates me about this program (although I like the new host) and the My First House home buyers - making their first offer on a property and all of a sudden they are the experts in home values, the housing market and what the house is worth now or down the road.
