The just bought the D.I.Y. Network and renamed it Magnolia. There's flower comms and symbolism here. They have young children. Given everything we know about the "Entertainment Industry" and how it operates, what is y'all's outlook on a seemingly "normal" couple buying a whole T.V. network?
In my estimation, "normal" people don't buy a T.V. network. It's not allowed in [their] world. So, what's going on here?
I'm asking because I just got into a spirited discussion with my 23 yr old son about this. He seems to think the Gaines family is normal. He's the kind of person who tries very hard to see the best in people. He's also a severe skeptic...when it comes to just about everything. I call him a fence rider. Hard for him to make decisions about [them] without seeing concrete, hard evidence, even when a mountain of circumstantial evidence is looming over him. He seems to think the Gaines family is just highly aspirational.
My "Spidey Sense" is tingling overtime with this. How does a normal family just buy a T.V. netowrk? ALL T.V networks are Cabal owned and operated. Are Chip and Joanna comp'd and corrupt? Or, is there another aspect to this? Are they Patriots and this buyout is just another White Hat takeover?
What are y'all's thoughts?
I’ve watched Joanna for years on the decorating side. Both are very talented and their story began long before when he flipped houses, they met and she decorated their first home, but didn’t want to leave it. I can understand that. But he found another nearby and convinced her that she could decorate this one. I think it was back then they called their home Magnolia. They are Born Again Christians and have lived in Waco mostly, as do their parents. Like many builders, he looked at things to flip. The project he took on with that industrial section has improved the town. Then they bought a home opposite that site and turned it into aB&B which their parents run. I remember reading they were not happy with the direction of the TV series ages ago. They felt it time to move on. While most of us don’t have the capital they have, what has 45 said? Get in at grassroots level and change what you don’t like. They are just doing something but while it may seem huge, to an entrepreneurial couple, this is nothing. Their children are all polite and respectful, bit young to really see yet if they will follow parents into the business, but overall I think they are a lovely family.
