DETROIT, MICHIGAN: 'Bargain Block' Season 4 is all set to premiere with a series of stirring renovations. However, there are speculations that the HGTV show must be staged. The episodes feature fully furnished abandoned houses with multiple sellers' stuff lying on the floor. Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas along with their renovation partner Shea Hicks Whitfield visit the properties and transform them into affordable, stylish starter homes for first-time homebuyers.

However, the viewers questioned random items all over the house including baby toys. The viewers also accused the HGTV show producers of buying cheap products and place in the home to make it look wrecked. Some of the abodes featured in the HGTV show looked freshly painted.

However, the producers or hosts have not shared if the episodes are actually scripted but some of the elements actually seemed staged. Open houses, Keith and Evan's jokes and elements of the show seemed to be dramatized or filmed strategically. Additionally, the clients who tour the homes are real, not paid actors.
