Bad news for Property Brothers amid HGTV cancelation bloodbath
Two of the three Property Brothers shows have been postponed at HGTV in the wake of the network's dizzying cancellation spree last month. Without warning, HGTV pulled the plug on Bargain Block, Married to Real Estate and Izzy Does It - with sources telling more changes are coming. The sudden cancellations sent shockwaves through the channel's fandom, and left employees of several shows fearing for their jobs. On the Fourth of July, HGTV's Battle on the Beach joined the scrap heap as co-host Alison Victoria revealed the show had not been renewed for season five. Now, identical twins Jonathan and Drew Scott of Property Brothers fame have seen their own careers affected by the shakeup. Their new show Chasing the West, which was previously slated to premiere this Thursday, July 10, has seen its inaugural episode bumped nearly three weeks to Wednesday, July 30, according to a report by EntertainmentNow. Another show of theirs, Don't Hate Your House With the Property Brothers, was meant to begin airing its second season on July 30 - the date now earmarked for the opening episode of Chasing the West. An updated press release states only that season two of Don't Hate Your House With the Property Brothers will start 'later this year,' with no specific date announced. The Scotts' show Celebrity IOU however has managed to stay on its original schedule, premiering this Wednesday, July 9, with guest star Rachel Brosnahan. Chasing the West will see the Property Brothers help families escape the frenzy of the city and acclimatize themselves to country life across an eight-episode first season. Meanwhile Don't Hate Your House With the Property Brothers is a home renovation series whose first case on season one was the Scott brothers' own parents. Shortly after the initial raft of HGTV cancellations last month, network sources spoke exclusively to about the thinking behind the move. 'We had to stop the bleeding,' said the senior source, who claimed that revenues were underperforming and the network needed to act. 'We were hemorrhaging money. So in order to stop the bleeding, we had to have a bloodbath. It was calculated cuts to make things make sense, financially.' Without warning, HGTV pulled the plug on Farmhouse Fixer, Bargain Block, Married to Real Estate and Izzy Does It. The sudden cancellations sent shockwaves through the HGTV fandom, and left employees of several shows fearing for their jobs. 'Decisions are still being made,' said the insider, who works directly with programming. 'It sucks for everyone involved but that's the TV business. Everyone understands that. Cable networks are struggling now, and we all have to make smart decisions.' Farmhouse Fixer host Jonathan Knight confirmed that his show, co-presented by Kristina Crestin, had been axed on Wednesday after three seasons. 'A lot of you have been asking about the future of Farmhouse Fixer,' he said. 'I am sad to say HGTV has decided not to move forward with another season. 'While I'm still processing the reasons that led to their decision, Kristina and I are so grateful for all your support over the past three seasons. Television has been so incredibly fun for us.' It was a surprise move by the network, given that former New Kids on the Block singer Knight is one of the most recognizable stars on the HGTV roster. 'He's well-known for sure,' said the network insider, 'but there are hosts on our shows who are more the face of the network. We're not getting rid of [Hometown hosts] Ben and Erin Napier anytime soon. They're probably the biggest stars we've got.' The decision to keep or cut a show comes down to revenue, and the Napiers enjoy the network's highest ratings. Each episode of Hometown garners around one million viewers, and is rebroadcast several times throughout the week. Other top performers include Rock the Block, My Lottery Dream Home, 100 Day Dream Home, Castle Impossible and House Hunters International. 'Obviously, things can change but the ratings performers are probably pretty safe,' said the insider. 'House Hunters International is a bit more expensive to produce, but the ratings justify it.' But some of the lesser-known shows, including Luxe for Less and Unsellable Houses, are facing uncertain futures. The show Izzy Does It was an easier cancellation decision, the executive said, because it was just entering Season 2 and had not yet built a devoted fan base. Host Israel 'Izzy' Battres has not issued a statement directly addressing his show's cancellation, but did respond to a fan online. 'Unfortunately, no season two,' Battres said, 'but we're truly thankful for everyone watching and supporting us!!' Married to Real Estate's hosts Mike Jackson and Egypt Sherrod described the decision to axe their show as 'unexpected' in a joint statement. 'Mike and I just landed back in the States after an unforgettable family trip through the Mediterranean, and we're met with unexpected news: HGTV has decided not to move forward with Married to Real Estate,' it read. 'While the chain of events leading up to this is disheartening, we are deeply grateful. Grateful for four incredible seasons. Grateful for our amazing crew and supportive fans.' The network insider acknowledged that the cancellations were 'brutal' but believes that all those impacted would find other projects. 'There are so many opportunities in home renovation media, whether it's on a network like HGTV or something online or something totally different. I am pretty sure everyone will land on their feet.'

The 'Property Brothers' reveal which kitchen appliances they always avoid: 'We were brainwashed'
If your kitchen still runs on a gas stove, "Property Brothers" stars Jonathan and Drew Scott have a clear recommendation: make the switch to induction. The HGTV duo, known for its home renovation expertise, is speaking out about the hidden health risks of cooking with gas and why electric alternatives are better for your home and the planet. While gas ranges have long been considered the gold standard in home cooking, studies now show they may be quietly polluting the air inside your home. According to Scientific American, gas stoves release nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant linked to increased respiratory issues. In fact, nearly 13% of childhood asthma cases in the U.S. can be traced back to indoor gas stove use, one study found. "We were brainwashed to think that [gas] was better than electric induction ranges," Drew said in a YouTube video. Since making the switch, he noted, "the air quality in our home is already so much better." His brother Jonathan shared a similar view in an interview with Bloomberg, saying, "Decarbonizing the home is critical because of the human health element. 40% of our energy related greenhouse gases come from buildings. The future of the home, in my mind, it's much cleaner and much safer." Induction cooktops use electromagnetic energy to heat pots and pans directly. This technology offers faster cooking, greater safety, and improved energy efficiency. The Department of Energy estimates that induction cooktops are up to three times more efficient than gas stoves and 10% more efficient than electric ones. That means lower energy bills, fewer emissions, and a safer cooking environment. For consumers concerned about cost, there are increasingly affordable options. Drew Scott pointed out that prices are dropping, with four-burner induction cooktops starting at around $275. Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, homeowners can also receive up to $840 in federal rebates to help cover the cost of switching, although these incentives may not last forever. For renters or anyone not ready for a full kitchen remodel, plug-in induction burners start at just $50 and offer an easy, low-commitment way to transition. When you're buying a kitchen appliance, which of these factors is most important to you? Price Safety Effectiveness Style and appearance Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. Induction stoves also outperform traditional options. They can boil water in half the time and stop heating instantly when the cookware is removed. These features offer better control and can lead to long-term savings on utility bills. With new construction bans on gas hookups already rolling out in places like New York City and statewide in New York as early as 2026, the shift away from gas is already underway. And making the switch now doesn't just future-proof your kitchen — it also helps build a cleaner, cooler future for everyone. Induction is a smart place to start if you're looking for a quick, cost-effective way to make your home safer and greener.

Drew Scott & Linda Phan's Adorable New Videos of Parker & Piper Give Fans an Intimate Glimpse Into Their Sweet Family Time
Family time is important for Drew Scott and Linda Phan. They just shared some of their sweetest summer memories with their toddlers Parker, 3, and Piper, 1, and we are taking notes! The Property Brothers co-host shared several photos and videos of his family's adorable adventures so far this summer on Instagram. 'Our quality time with the kiddos is all about shared experiences,' he wrote. 'We limit screen exposure in our house to only a couple times a week. And even when watching Bluey or Ms. Rachel, they always encourage kids to dance, sing, play and just experience life!' More from SheKnows Busy Philipps Shares the 'Best Advice' Michelle Williams Gave Her for Parenting Teens & We're Taking Notes He shared some of their favorite things to do lately, which includes exploring museums and aquariums because 'Parker is OBSESSED with sharks.' Scott holds up Parker to see some cool interactive displays at a museum in one picture, and a clip of Parker watching a shark swim at an aquarium. There is also a photo collage of Parker and Piper watching puppet and magic shows. 'I love seeing their little faces light up when @rikemind and @realfunnyeddie do their thing,' the HGTV star wrote. So sweet! Other pictures included swimming, watching table tennis matches, and going on nature walks. But one of the coolest? Family jam sessions! There are tons of pictures of Parker and Piper playing with toy instruments and real instruments, like a huge harp! A video of Parker playing the piano and a clip of Piper dancing to someone playing guitar and playing the accordion shows their budding talent. 'My dad plays guitar and so do I,' Scott wrote. 'Parker has been gravitating toward piano (shoutout to Reese Massey at @rhodesschoolofmusic) and Piper loves her little accordion, so we're well on our way to one big Scott Family Band!' 'Creating memories ❤️❤️,' one person commented. This family is so adorable, and it looks like these two are having the greatest summer now! Last month, Scott revealed his son's most unhinged behavior: 'Parker went through a phase where he was making out with the mirror,' he wrote on Instagram, adding, 'Now Piper's started the same 😳 🤣.' That's definitely wild! He also asked followers to share their toddlers' behaviors, and the comments didn't disappoint. 'As soon as my husband's hairy legs are exposed, my daughter calls them 'kitties' and tries to pet and kiss them 😂,' one person wrote. Another said, 'Washing his face with toilet water 🫠🫠🫠🫠' Kids definitely keep life interesting!Best of SheKnows These Podcasts for Parents of Teens Will Make You Feel Seen These Hot Famous Dads Are Making Fatherhood Look Finer Than Ever 36 Times Prince Louis Proved That the Third Child Is a Wild Card

Drew Scott & Linda Phan Gave a Super-Rare Glimpse Into Making the ‘Back-To-Back Birthday Parties for Piper & Parker'
Having kids born close together is a logistics nightmare. When their birthdays are only days or weeks apart, it can be exhausting (and expensive!) to celebrate each child separately. And as a twin, Drew Scott knows the importance of making your kids feel special. That's why he and his wife Linda Phan came up with the coolest party hack to celebrate the 'back-to-back' birthdays of their kids Parker, born on May 4, 2022, and their daughter Piper, born on May 21, 2024. 'Linda and I threw back-to-back birthday parties for Piper and Parker last month, and let's just say…the kids weren't the only ones having a blast! 😄' the Property Brothers star captioned a new post on Instagram. He shared that he and Phan had a great time dressing up and making their own multi-purpose decorations. 'When it comes to hosting, we love getting the kids involved with DIY crafts, finding new ways to repurpose decorations, and keeping things fun and festive without the fuss. (Linda's creativity never ceases to amaze me!) Swipe for inspo➡️🎂,' he added. In the first photo, the couple smile next to a wagon covered in cardboard to turn it into a 'sea lab.' 'Making props with cardboard and paint is a fun way to get kids involved,' Scott explained. His first tip: 'start with a theme.' For Parker's 3rd birthday, the theme was 'under the sea,' and for Piper's first, it was 'French Pâtisserie.' Next, they made cute signage and rhymes to go with the party and set up a photo booth backdrop. For Parker, they put up blue and orange streamers; for Piper, they made a display with flowers and pastries. 'Try décor you can eat!' he suggested. Next up: 'attention to detail.' They wrapped blue paper sharks around paper cups and set up a table with pink glasses and blue-striped napkins. To save money, Scott recommends 'invest[ing] in décor you can reuse multiple times,' like mini disco balls that worked for both parties, and setting up a play and reading area with things they already had around the house. 'Put on a show' was next, as Scott shared photos of Phan, him, and others dressed up to do a puppet show for Parker's party and a live band to play music for Piper's party. Last but not least, have a fabulous cake! Parker's was in the shape of waves with toy sea animals to fit the theme, and Piper's had edible flowers that made for 'beautiful and easy decorations.' They definitely made the whole back-to-back party thing look easy! People praised these nice, yet relatively simple birthday parties in the comments. 'Kiddos parties are the best – love it! ❤️,' one person wrote. Someone else said, 'This is too cute for kids party 🎉 ideas enjoyed the pics' Last month, Scott shared adorable updates about his kids on their birthdays. For Piper, he shared a sweet video montage of one of her favorite things: dancing! 'POV: Your toddler dances to anything and everything,' he wrote over the video, adding in the caption, 'Happy 1st birthday to our little dancing queen! ❤️' When his son Parker turned 3, he wrote a little bit about what his toddler is into right now. 'To my walk and talk compadre, my dino wrangler, my coffee connoisseur, and my little foodie,' the HGTV star wrote on Instagram. 'You've made the past 3 years the best I could have imagined.' He added, 'I love you Parky!! Happy bday.'
