House Hunters - Drinking Game
It’s a three-day weekend here in Mpls, but activities have been strictly curtailed due to both a blizzard and a cold. So it’s been an HGTV marathon for me, watching my favorite show House Hunters International. Now House Hunters (domestic) isn’t bad either, as they both follow a typical formula. Thus it lends itself to a drinking game quite well. Here are my proposed rules:
The following events require you to take a drink:
- Closet shot: A female buyer asking “where are the closets?” immediately after walking into a bedroom.
- Take it for granite: Whenever a kitchen is shown WITHOUT granite countertops.
- A sip aside: When they edit in a solo cut of the realtor complaining about unrealistic expectations of the buyer.
- Sidecar: If the buyer brings a “friend” along to help them pick. Can’t be a spouse or relative.
- A belt for the Brits: This is only for HHI, but when you’re in a non-UK country, but the realtor assigned to ex-pats is a Brit. Seriously, even Arab countries.
- Silver surfer: Take TWO drinks every time a property has a silver non-flat screen tv in the house. It must be silver and it must be old school.
You get to give a drink if:
- You guess the property (1, 2 or 3) the buyer eventually chooses*
*Double the number of drinks you can give if they select one outside their budget. TRIPLE it if they low-ball the offer and save at least $40k.
Have fun. If you have nobody to play with, use #HHI for the hashtag and see if you can get someone to tweet/drink along with you.
