1. Magnolia Market
   Waco Wonders
2. Cyprus Shop
   Ellie Mae Market

In 2003, Chip and Joanna opened Magnolia Market. Since then, the store has been closed, reopened, and then moved to its new location at the Silos. This is what the couple was doing before the TV show even existed.

1. No way
   Yes
2. Not anymore
   That would be misleading.

It's true! If you've ever looked at the application to be on "Fixer Upper," it says you must own or be in the process of purchasing a home within 40 miles of Waco, Texas. The whole going around looking for homes thing seems to be just for show.

1. Three
   Four
2. Five
   Six

The couple now has five children after the surprise pregnancy recently. Duke, Drake, Emma Kay, Ella and Crew are all part of the "Fixer Upper" family. Crew is the most recent addition to the family, rounding them out as a family of seven.

1. Only the big pieces
   Only if Joanna lets them
2. They sure do.
   They don't.

They can purchase all of it if they want to, but the furniture and furnishings are not included in the home. It all actually comes from Magnolia Market and is only used for the staging of the finished product.

2. Northwestern
   They didn't.

While they both went to Baylor, they didn't meet there! It wasn't until after both of them had graduated that the two met. It wasn't love at first sight, either, at least not for Joanna. But, all's well that ends well!

1. Absolutely not.
   That's up for debate.
2. They can do whatever they want.
   With permission

There's much debate over whether there is a clause in the contract stating that the homes can't be used as rental properties. It was common knowledge for a while that Chip and Joanna didn't like that people were renting out the homes, but it's mostly all speculation.

1. Claw foot tub
   Hardwood floors
2. Shiplap
   Barn doors

It's no secret that Joanna loves shiplap. If it's already in the home, she will try and make it a focal point of a room. It not only saves them money, but it also helps keep the home unique and a true part of Waco.

1. Decorating
   The reveal
2. Home touring
   Demo day

If you've ever looked at "Fixer Upper" merchandise, you will know that there are shirts and hats with the term Demo Day on them. It's Chip's favorite day, as he gets to smash things and rip things apart,

1. Joanna
   Chip
2. Drake
   Their assistant

Chip always tries to get out of having to make serious phone calls asking for money or informing the homeowner of an issue. He thinks Joanna is just better at explaining it, while he would get caught up in the technicalities.

1. Gives it back
   Offers the homeowners options on how to spend it
2. Gets more expensive finishes
   Tells the owners to invest it

While revealing her design plan, if there's money left over, she will come up with a few ways the money can be used in the home. It can be a new driveway or built-in cabinets, anything really.

1. Harold Kimp
   Chip's brother
2. Clint Harp
   Tim Villa

Clint has been featured on the show many times to build Joanna the custom tables of her dreams. He was even on the show as a homeowner, as the couple renovated a home for Clint and his wife.

1. Demo day

2. Showing people homes
   The final decorating

After the construction is done and the last of the flooring has been laid, Joanna likes to get in the house all by herself to put all of the finishing touches in place. She says it's because it's her time to relax and just get a better feel for the home and pick out the best decor items.

   It's still on.

"Fixer Upper" ended after five seasons, much to the dismay of many loyal viewers. There was a spinoff that featured behind the scenes looks at how Joanna came up with design schemes, but that's not nearly as popular as the original show.

1. 2011
   2013
2. 2015
   2010

On May 23, 2013, the first episode of "Fixer Upper" aired on HGTV. Their shtick was taking the worst house in the best neighborhood and turning into the stuff of dreams. It was almost an instant hit for the channel and the couple.

1. Yes, but it takes several takes.
   They see some things, but not the finished product.
2. Yes!
   No, they see it beforehand.

The homeowners are under very strict orders to stay away from the home until the renovation is complete. Viewers want genuine reactions when they see the home for the first time, so the reveal is the actual very first time they see the completed home.

1. No, but it does get people on the who if they are.
   Within 100 miles
2. Must be within city limits
   No, but within 40 miles

The home that a guest on the show owns or is looking to own must be within 40 miles of Waco. This might be to preserve the authenticity of the show and design, or because too much travel adds too much complication.

1. They are offered it, yes.
   They can if they ask.
2. It get's thrown out.
   Unfortunately they don't.

People who have been on the show say the big picture is as cool as you think it would be, and it is usually offered to the homeowner if they want to keep it! Where would you store a photo like that?

1. Education
   Broadcast journalism
2. Business Management
   She didn't graduate.

Joanna always knew she wanted to be on television, but she never imagined it would be on a reality show. She did commercials for her dad's tire business and studied to be more of a news anchor than design show host.

1. It was a disaster.
   They didn't even have to audition.
2. Not at first
   They got the job right away.

When HGTV contacted them after finding Joanna's blog about their projects, the couple was invited to audition. It didn't go so well at first, but when the cameras went off and the crew got to see Chip and Joanna in the natural habitat, they won everyone over.

1. There isn't one.
   $50,000
2. $10,000
   $30,000

All budgets must be agreed upon before filming, and the participants on the show must have at least $30,000 to put towards renovations. Analysis of the show has discovered that the renovation usually goes over budget, but what renovation doesn't?

1. Yep!
   They can buy it if they want.
2. It goes back to Magnolia Market.
   If Clint gives them permission

Even though they don't automatically get to keep the furniture the home is staged with, they do get to keep any custom pieces that Clint Harp makes for the project. Since it's made specifically for the homeowners, it would be silly not to let them keep it.

1. What's done is done.
   For a fee
2. They'll replace it for free.
   Not usually, no.

There was a specific instance where the homeowner didn't like the roof that was on the house, and even though there was nothing wrong with it, Joanna offered to replace the roof at half price.

1. Only the participants are given a script.
   Chip and Joanna are given a script.
2. Not at all
   Yes, but they don't have to follow it.

Everything you see from the conversations to the interviews is real and unscripted. However, producers will have people repeat things if the shot isn't right. One participant said it was hard to always remember what she said when she was asked to repeat it.

1. Only if the client has one
   She doesn't, but her team does.
2. Nope
   She sure does.

Joanna asks each of their clients to create a Pinterest board with everything they can think of that they like. She then uses that to gain insight and inspiration into the style of the homeowner. According to past participants, she really does stick to what they like.

1. She doesn't have any.
   Baylor University
2. Her family business
   Online classes

Joanna has no actual design experience, other than being a natural at it. Her first foray into it was opening Magnolia Market and getting an eye for what would look good in a home and the kinds of items people want and like.

1. One
   Zero
2. Three
   Just two

They have zero, yes, zero televisions! They've always prided themselves on giving their kids the most normal and humble upbringing they possibly can. They don't watch themselves, or anyone else, on TV.

1. They've seen only a few episodes.
   They're too shy.
2. Yes!
   Only the series premiere

Despite not having a single TV in their home, they do have little watch parties at their friend's houses. Chip has been known to watch an episode and reminisce about how funny he is.

1. It will be.
   Someone else renovated it.
2. Nope
   It sure is!

Not only is it one of their projects, it's the ninth home they've lived in and renovated together. It was built in 1895, but you would never guess that given how good it looks. They did try to keep design elements of the original home.

1. In 2018
   It hasn't ended yet.
2. 2017
   2019

It was a bittersweet day for "Fixer Upper" fans, but on April 3, 2018, the show came to an end after five seasons. You can still catch repeats of the episodes on HGTV frequently, and Joanna did a spin off about the behind-the-scenes detail of her design decisions.

1. Walmart
   Target
2. Home Goods
   Only at the online Magnolia store

Chip and Joanna, but mostly Joanna, partnered with Target to create a line of home decor and accessories. It's been a huge hit, and now fans of the show can have Magnolia items of their own in their home.

1. The Magnolia team does it all.
   They don't have much.
2. A lot!
   Joanna makes all the decisions.

Homeowners who have been interviewed have said they are in constant contact with either Joanna or the design team to give input on design or to approve ideas. While they don't speak directly with Chip or Joanna a lot, the homeowners do have a lot of control over the design.

1. At her store, Magnolia
   At a coffee shop
2. In college
   In a photo at her father's auto shop

Even though they went to the same college, they weren't there at the same time. Chip didn't see Joanna until he went into her father's shop to get his car worked on. He saw her picture and said it was love at first sight.

1. It was Joanna's first.
   They opened it after they got married.
2. Chip owned it first.
   It was in Joanna's family before they met.

Magnolia Market was Joanna's baby, but it wasn't long before Chip got involved and opened a construction part of the business. There is now Magnolia Realty and Magnolia Homes, which produce many aspects of their businesses.

1. It's not preferred.
   Of course they can.
2. Only if they pay for it
   Not usually

In season one, one of the couples had found some cool windows that they wanted to be incorporated into the home. Joanna was happy to oblige and she was able to put the windows to good use without having to dip into her own collection.

1. It just sounded nice.
   Magnolia trees are native to Waco.
2. One of Chip and Joanna's first dates
   It's Chip's favorite flower.

In an episode of the show, Chip can be heard telling their kids that on one of their first dates, he climbed a magnolia tree and pulled off one of the blooms and gave it to Joanna. It's been a theme in their lives ever since.

1. In his thirties
   When he was 18
2. After him and Jo got married
   When he was in college

Chips first flip was in college, and Joanna's dad actually wasn't too pleased that he chose that route for his career. But Joanna jumped on board and was hooked on the house flipping business almost immediately.

1. Yes! Over 60!
   Not yet
2. They don't anymore.
   Only chickens

The Gaines family lives on a huge farm full of animals like chickens, goats and horses. They also have dogs that are specifically bred to be around goats. Joanna also has a number of vegetable and herb gardens on the property.

1. Clint Harp
   Jimmy Don
2. Joanna's brother
   Joanna does it herself.

Jimmy Don of JDH Iron Designs has been featured in the show creating one-of-a-kind metal cutout pieces for homeowners. He works with Joanna on the design, much as she does with Clint, to create the perfect final product, which the homeowners get to keep.

1. Julia's Bazaar
   Treasure City Flea Market
2. Round Top Antiques
   Rice's Flea Market

On the show, the family can be seen taking their truck and trailer to Round Top to shop at the Round Top Antiques market. Joanna finds unique items to sell in her shop or to use in the homes renovated on "Fixer Upper."

1. Only the cheapest rooms
   Only a few
2. Every single one
   Not necessarily

Depending on the size of the budget determines how many rooms get fixed up. A lot of times, they do the ones that get featured on TV and then finish the rest of the house with a different budget from the show.
