About This Quiz

Now's the time to really test your relationship. Being on "House Hunters" seems great, and while some people who have been on the show say it's a complete farce, people don't watch it because of its element of reality. Maybe at first, they did, but then the show, the couples, the budgets, everything, became a huge internet joke. 

Men constantly ribbing their wives for the eventuality of them taking up all the closet space and they'll have to use the hall closet. Wives walking into every room saying how it could be a nursery one day. Couples looking for their forever home that's 4,000 square feet but having the budget of a recent college graduate. Man, all of these things make "House Hunters" a true national treasure.
