'Renovation Island': The Baeumler family's 'Tell-All Special' leaves Internet divided over couple 'bickering'

Fans had mixed feelings about 'Renovation Island' Tell-All Special episode

Bryan and Sarah Baeumler's HGTV show 'Renovation Island' became an instant hit among fans. The couple's bold decision to relocate from their home in Canada to the remote island of South Andros in the Bahamas, made for a rather interesting series. What made it even more exciting was watching the couple renovate a resort they purchased on the island with the hopes of converting the old, rundown place into a swanky tourist hotspot.

So, it goes without saying that when the show's finale aired last week (August 16), fans were sad. But thankfully the producers decided to let fans see the Baeumlers once more living up in the Bahamas, before their new series 'Renovation, Inc.' premieres. Bryan and Sarah Baeumler filmed a special tell-all episode, where they revisited all the highs and lows they faced during their long journey of transforming the abandoned resort into a beautiful tourist paradise.

On the show, we mostly saw Bryan and Sarah constantly fight, which left fans feeling concerned about the couple's marriage. Many fans were convinced that the couple's marriage would end in divorce by the time they were done filming the show, after seeing how often they fought. Thankfully, they managed to get through the filming without divorcing, and in fact, the couple became stronger than ever after the whole experience.

In the behind-the-scenes footage, we saw Bryan and Sarah going on a lot of lovely dates, and enjoying each other's company while exploring the picturesque island.

After watching the couple's tell-all special, fans had mixed feelings about the episode. While some appreciated seeing rare footage of the couple being nice to each other and also reliving the memories, others were bored and pointed out how the episode was a giant recap of the entire series. A fan who enjoyed the tell-all episode tweeted, "Watching @hgtv #renovationisland Bryan and Sarah tell all. I’m loving this behind the scenes #boycotthallmark."

Another fan wrote, "@hgtv @hgtvcanada- How about MORE of the "date night" & family footage on #RenovationIsland & LESS of all the bickering & Brian's whining. I would've enjoyed the ride MUCH more.#HGTV #HGTVCanada."

"Zzzzzzzzzz I didn’t realize this #RenovationIsland “tell all” would only be a giant recap. Clearly even the talking head segments are old. I wanted to know what’s been happening after opening. And most definitely the impact of Covid," expressed an unhappy fan.

"This tell all has been a snooze fest so far  #RenovationIsland," shared a fan.
