Whether you proudly admit your obsession or pretend that the reason you watch it is because you've been coerced by your mom, roommate, or girlfriend, it is likely that we have all at one point or another watched, and subsequently fallen in love with, Chip and Joanna Gaines from HGTV's "Fixer Upper." They're like the Jim and Pam, or April and Andy, of HGTV. Not only do you get to watch crazy house transformations that will hit the spot of any DIYer or Pinterest geek, but you also get to be entertained by one of the cutest couples and families ever. Chip and "Jo-Jo," as she is affectionately called by her husband, are literally the cutest ever, not even exaggerating. That being said, if you watch it, I probably don't have to convince you of how great it is, but we can at least look back together at some of the best things that you can count on to happen every single episode without fail.
1. One of the houses is so clearly the absolute worst; it's falling apart from the inside out and is a huge mess. And of course Joanna will be hoping they pick this one.
2. The houses are strangely inexpensive... $95,000 for a four bedroom and four bathroom home on three acres with a pool? Apparently so in good ol' Waco.
3. Joanna takes Chip thrifting. She finds the perfect piece, and he does something weird.
4. SHIPLAP. Anywhere, and everywhere.
5. Chip brings the "kiddos" to come visit Joanna when she's stuck working late one night.
6. Demo Day. Chip karate chops, roundhouse kicks, and sledgehammers down walls, cabinets, and floors.
7. Chip does something goofy/gross/weird and is still adorably endearing.
8. Chip has a hair mishap.
9. Joanna tries to give an interview. Then Chip happens.
10. You realize Joanna might be the most patient woman in the world.
11. Someone (usually Chip) brings home a new animal to add to the farm.
12. Joanna and Clint team up to make the coolest piece of furniture ever.
13. Chip reminisces about the "glory days."
