'Love it or List it' returned to HGTV on Monday night for an all-new episode, and this week's couple had a small budget but big dreams. This doesn't come new to fans and viewers, as it practically is every couple, every week.

But what stood out amongst fans and viewers this week is when the couple claimed Hilary Farr was bullying them just because she said the budget they had given her was low and she couldn't renovate everything in the house within that budget.

Monday night's episode of 'Love it or List it', featured a couple whose house was like a jigsaw puzzle with a small kitchen area. They had a rock wall and a three-car garage. Living in a neighborhood close to their friends, their budget to renovate the house was $95,000.

The couple wanted a new kitchen, renovated sunroom, upgraded and new office space, and their children's room to be redone. With such a low budget, Hilary called them back to say that she might have to drop the sunroom in order to give them the large kitchen space they wanted. 

This didn't sit well with the couple, especially the wife, as she claimed that they wanted the sunroom done, and that was a priority along with everything else. Hilary made it clear when she asked them if they want her to put all the money in the sunroom and leave the kitchen as is, which they didn't like either.

In the end, they agreed to let the sunroom be as is, and redo everything else in the house. Outside their home, Melissa then tells her husband that Hilary was a bully to her just because she wanted the sunroom within the budget, and fans are not liking her attitude. 

Taking to Twitter after the episode, fans claimed she has no rights calling Hilary a bully when she was just stating the facts with such a small given budget. "#LoveItOrListIt she called Hillary a bully! Lady she can’t do everything especially when most of your 95,000 dollar budget is going into your kitchen," wrote a fan. 

While another added saying, "How is Hilary bullying her when she’s saying y’all don’t have the money to do the additional room?! Girl. Bye. #LoveItOrListIt."
