Such questions include 'Where are you in the escrow process?', 'What is the purchase price of your new home?' and 'Is there a garage? (approx how large?) Is it connected to the house?'

The show's application includes several questions that would indicate that applicants may have already chosen or purchased a home before the show. Ridley then called the hosts to tell them he had picked the third house. This is a tough thing for me, to be honest with you.' 'The thing's that hard about this is really - all three have potential. 'Today I saw three really great houses,' Ridley said face-to-face with the camera. When Chip asked him if he needed a little time to think about what property he wanted or whether he was ready to make a decision, Ridley said he might need a little time. Ridley (pictured) said in a previous interview he had spotted his home two years ago but had to wait until he could afford to purchase itĭuring his episode, he saw two extra homes in addition to the one he had picked and, according to him, purchased.

He said he was interviewed over Skype before being offered a spot on the show. Ridley told KWTX he put an offer on the house, got it for 'a really good deal', then filled out the paperwork to audition for Fixer Upper. The house shown in Ridley's KWTX interview corresponds to the third house that the Gaines showed him in his episode. Magnolia is the name of the Gaines' business, which includes a construction and realty section. 'I called a couple of my friends who work for Magnolia, they popped over here, looked at it with me, they walked through and said 'David, you should audition for our show and give it a shot.' ' 'I came over here the next day with her, we walked through it and it just felt like my house,' he said. 'I had looked at this house about two years ago with my mom and said this was my dream house but at the time it was way out of my budget,' he said.Ī year and a half later, Ridley said, the real estate agent messaged him on Facebook saying the house was back on the market. Ridley's episode, titled 'The Ultimate Bachelor Pad', featured hosts Chip and Joanna Gaines showing Ridley (right) three different homes before the remodeling process
