‘Bargain Block’s Shea Whitfield Reminisces on Memories With Keith Bynum After Cancellation
Shea Whitfield, a realtor who costars on Bargain Block, is getting nostalgic after the show’s cancellation. In a new Instagram post, Whitfield shared several photos from being on set with Keith Bynum and wrote a sentimental caption about their time spent together.
“They say don’t hide your feelings…But this camo tree tried to shade my whole heart!” Whitfield captioned her post, referencing Bynum’s camouflage shirt in the photos. “Missin’ my Boo, my lil’ chaos cooker, and my sunshine in the shade! Lol. Swipe for kisses, cackles, and camouflaged cuteness.”
She added, “Distance makes the heart grow fonder, but Lawd, friendship magic is much better when we’re under the same tree.”
Bargain Block is one of four beloved HGTV shows to recently get the axe along with Married to Real Estate, Izzy Does It, and Farmhouse Fixer. Bynum said the show was previously greenlit for Season 5, but will now only be returning with a “few more episodes” in August to round out Season 4.

“The last six months have been a pretty wild journey,” he admitted in an Instagram post. “Our entire business and lives have been put through the ringer at the hands of a giant corporation, yet we persist lol. Though you may not be seeing us for much longer on HGTV, we’re excited that we’ve built such an amazing base of followers and we’re very excited about the future. Everyone always told us TV is a fickle world and they are very right. Tv is full of a lot of great people but it’s also full of some of the worst people I’ve ever encountered.”
Bynum hosts Bargain Block alongside his longtime partner Evan Thomas. Thomas is in charge of building and construction, while Bynum focuses on design, and Whitfield is their trusted real estate agent. Bynum and Thomas are continuing to take on client work following the show’s cancellation.

Total BS I mean new shows such as Chelsea bossing Kole around with everything black saying she's evolving while her thoughts and ideas are the only ones executed and she survives. What Mike and Evan are giving can't be duplicated nor undercut and the BELOVED SHOWS ARE AXED. DETROIT IS THE PERFECT AREA AND FORMAT TO DEMONSTRATE POSITIVE AFFORDABLE CHANGE. SHAME ON YOU HGTV

Being from Michigan, I loved the show Bargin Block. I was thrilled they were part of getting the low income folks a home fully furnished mind you in Detroit. The funky yet cool styles Evan had done. After living in WA 35yrs Im back east in Conway SC, lots of older homes here. If you need some work I have a kitchen & flooring. Come on down

I think HGTV made a huge mistake with cancelling Bargain Block and all the other shows! I love Bargain Block, I love what they do to those homes, Keith is so creative! I think whoever came up with the idea to cancel this show needs to be fired!

I love the Property Brothers but I’m so disappointed about Married to Real Estate
And Bargain Block. These shows were helping Black Families and I guess HGTV
Can’t support these shows.
They want to give Property Brothers yet another show I will not be watching.

I am OVER the Propertie Brotheres They Do Nothing to help build for people in need they just worried about their own pocket.The shows cx were of the mind to save homes, people’s lives, restoring communities and all the while being humble. IT IS ALL about Money. Good by HGTV

If I owned a business I would hire the Most Qualified person based on that person’s experience, education, training, skill level etc. And I could care less about their skin color and their sexual orientation and/or preference is none of my business because That’s for their off time, not on the job. Conversely I would feel no obligation what so ever to hire or promote a person based on their skin color or their sexual orientation and/or preferences. Best credentials would be the basis for my hiring and promoting people if I owned a business. Being competitive in business and in the job market are the Realities of life or should be. Not you Owe me a job or a promotion because I’m a certain skin color or I have certain sexual orientations and/or preferences. Those two things shouldn’t have anything at all to do with qualifications.

Interestingly enough, given the current political climate in this country, the recent HGTV cancellations of long favorite shows are following an unfortunate and similar pattern. Shame on HGTV if so. People are falling into fascism by letting evil people dictate morality. These shows were favorites. Makes NO sense they were cancelled.

Assumptions and opinions. We all have them. I’m much more concerned about the rise of communism in the country than I am any supposed political fascism. And businesses at least for the time being have the right to hire, fire, and promote who they wish which doesn’t necessarily make them evil. To me hiring, firing, and/or promoting people based on the color of their skin or their sexual orientation in order to meet a supposed quota of you Have to have a certain number of specific skin colors or you Have to have a certain number of people with specific sexual orientations is evil. It’s called DEI and is AntiAmerican, Racist, Discriminatory, Counterproductive, and Divisive. I don’t think that’s the reason these shows were cancelled. But it’s certainly HGTVs right. If people want to boycott them for not yielding to the racism, discrimination, counter productivity and divisiveness that DEI offers well that’s certainly people’s rights.

WHAT FRIES ME is they gave WHITE dudes 3 shows and cancels shows that are people of color or of the LGBTQ population. I am through with HGTV. I am actively looking for another channel. The property brothers have become stale. Their celebrity iou is just a sad attempt to rub elbows with Hollywood.

Racist much ? Discriminate due to sexual orientation much ? Mad because they can rub elbows with Hollywood and You can’t ? Like any business HGTV can hire and fire as They see fit. Just as it Should be. Having to meet a quote based on the color of someone’s skin and/or their sexual orientation is just Wrong, Period. Being a certain skin color or sexual orientation shouldn’t Block employment or promotion but it Also shouldn’t be part of the qualifications for a job or promotion either. DEI is toxic to everyone involved with it. To those who are Excluded because their not the right skin color or sexual orientation and to those Included for the same reasons. Hiring and Promotions should be based purely on a person’s credentials such as experience, education, training etc.Skin color and/or sexual orientation shouldn’t even be in the picture. DEI is AntiAmerican and counterproductive. It Divides people and pits people against each other Not in a competitive way but purely based on race and/or sexual orientation. DEI is for Lazy people who wouldn’t other wise qualify. Just like TransMen playing in Women’s sports. TransMen know they can’t win verses other male athletes so they want to take unfair advantage by signing up for women’s sports. I don’t think HGTV made these cancellations due to DEI cuts but and If they did Good for them ! DEI has no place in America.
