Re: Catch A Contractor My experience from watching them film next door at my neighbors house is this: they do really find the contractor and they get them to come and "fix" the mistake by threatening to follow them around for weeks with cameras, report them to the CSLB, and help the homeowners sue them. My neighbors contractor caved and showed up to "fix" his mistakes. Here's where it gets fake: the show has already had their own crew working on the house for a couple days. The "bad" contractor shows up and they kick out all the ones currently working so they can get some fake shots of the bad contractor holding up a sledge hammer or holding a drill that's not even charged. Then Adam and his co host make fun of him and the work he did. The truth is, Adam doesn't do any of the work nor does the first bad contractor. They filmed 24 hours a day at my neighbors and we saw Adam like 3 times for an hour at a time and the bad contractor twice for like an hour. The real contractors were waiting outside getting pissed because they had only given them 5 days and were wasting their time with the fake shots of Adam and everyone. I even heard one of the production managers say "can someone please find Mr Carolla a sledge hammer that's clean please!"

Ha!
