" This show is severely lacking credibility after they gave that Georgia family a $450,000 home upon which the owners took out a mortgage for the value of the home, spent the money, and now the house is in foreclosure. Merchants would be wise to keep their wallets CLOSED when people from this show come a knockin. "

" well, I'm glad that some of us have our heads on straight today. Thank you Turtle...and as horrible as the floods have been, I also agree with Really? I feel really horrible for the flood victims, but you can't count on mother nature not to throw a curve ball.....do something about your situation! "

" here we go again, flood victims..... Here's a hint - if your house fills up with water once, I feel for you, second time you might think about moving, third time..... you are on your own.
A family selected for hardships receiving benefits from a tv show and community is a total different animal than helping out the same people year after year after year... "

" I agree with cheese lover. Just be happy for the family that they are getting out of a bad situation.
I understand the flood victims issue but this story has nothing to do with that. Let's keep the issue at hand. "

" seriously.......can't we just be happy that this family is experiencing something great in their lives.....perhaps you didn't see what the conditions they were living in before. Open your eyes terri, to a little more than just the flood victims. "

" It's a nice thing that they are doing, but it would have been even nicer if they had donated the same amount of furniture to the local flood victims. They could have helped hundreds of people with the same amount as this one family. It's all about their 15 minutes of fame. "
