    A Disappointing Continuation

    If you are watching this how you would think tsunamis, fire ants, wild boars, menacing centipedes and aggressive wildlife are all daily concerns and that people walk around scared of the next attack. What a crock. Plus you'd think the narrator would learn how to pronounce at least SOME of the town names correctly!!!!!!HELP!!!!! I am being attacked by 30 foot centipede!!!!

    I watched the Kauai episode which warns of the "wild pigs running free" on the island and the Maui episode which claimed that many people in Hawaii prefer to have outdoor bathrooms... ummm... NO.I agree with all the other reviewers who call out the HORRIBLE narrator for his butchering of all of the Hawaiian place names. As for the homes they show, I think they intentionally choose the most bizarre homes possible and try to pass them off as "typical" for the state. I guess they had to make those choices in order to keep the price range of the homes under the million dollar mark.I have lived in Kaneohe for most of my life. The only feral animals in our area are the chickens and a few stray cats - no pigs. Homes in this area are all typically 3 bdrm/2bath ($400k - 2 million). We are 5 minutes from a yacht club, shopping mall, and all the conveniences of civilization without the hassle of a big city. It''s about 30-455 minutes to a nice beach (not Waikikki).DOn't watch this show if you want insight into the homes and lifestyle of Hawaii - all you'll get is a bunch of confused mainlanders looking for something that doesn't exist being sold by someone who has no clue as to what they are selling.

    Tonight is the first time I have seen this show. I live in Kaneohe, Oahu, Hawaii. This show is so full of exaggerations, mistruths, mispronunciation of places, and negative comments. If the goal was to keep people from moving here I would say the show has succeeded. Yes, some of the comments were true but not to the extent the announcer saying them over and over. I am a Red Cross disaster volunteer and we do not have or exaggerate the tsunamis, hurricanes, flooding or storms the way I heard tonight. Please do not do this to our beautiful home. Aloha.

    I am so surprised this slapped-together show made it to air in the condition it's in. Another reviewer has pointed out the mispronunciations and the weird "facts" Realtors tell prospective clients. I am also put off by some of the properties shown. The homes built in the middle of lava floes...I don't know...it just seems wrong and disrespectful. I'd make sure to consult a kahuna before buying one. And some of the other homes are creepy, half-finished, creepy...some of the people are also strange. The couple who spent years illegally living in a tent on the island probably thought the house with the outdoor toilet and stinky cesspool flowing underneath it was a real upgrade from a tent, but it left me feeling yucky. It's as though they've looked for the worst of the worst properties to stop the haole from Buying Hawaii!
