HGTV’s Egypt Sherrod Shares Cryptic Message After ‘Married to Real Estate’ Cancellation
Egypt Sherrod is embracing good vibes after HGTV canceled her series, Married to Real Estate. And she is sharing a somewhat cryptic message for fans.
The TV personality brushed off the cancellation blues by reciting some words of wisdom in a Sunday, July 13 Instagram video. “Get with me, babies! I am not in a rush. I am in alignment. And was it meant for me moves in divine rhythm, not in deadlines,” she stated. “And I have never missed a blessing or an opportunity resting in faith.”
Sherrod posted the same inspirational message in the video’s caption. Several fans shared their love for her mantra in the post’s comments section, with one user writing, “Say that Sis! Reason one million why you won’t miss your continued blessings.” Another posted, “Thank you Egypt, I needed to hear this!”
A third commenter wrote that they are “speaking into existence another network will pick up Married To Real Estate,” while another wrote, “Exactly! Correct folks when they say: I see you hustling and grinding out there. Nope👋🏽. I am in alignment 💞. That hustle culture isn’t healthy for MY nervous system. Congratulations on your future endeavors 💕.”
Last month, Sherrod revealed via Instagram that she and her husband, Mike Jackson, learned that their home renovation series, Married to Real Estate, got the axe upon returning from a family vacation.

“While the chain of events leading up to this is disheartening, we are deeply grateful,” she wrote in a June 24 update. “Grateful for four incredible seasons. Grateful for our amazing crew and supportive fans. Grateful that our businesses continue to thrive. And most of all — grateful that we are still very much married to real estate (and to each other).”
She continued, “Not all setbacks are what they seem. Some blessings show up in disguise. We’ve been here before. We’ll keep counting those blessings — and keep it moving. Stay tuned.”
Married to Real Estate is one of several recent HGTV show cancellations, along with Bargain Block, Izzy Does It, Farmhouse Fixer, and Battle on the Beach. Bargain Block’s Keith Bynum wrote that he was ready to “let go of the anger and hurt of the past,” in a June 26 Instagram upload, and Sherrod agreed with his statement in the post’s comments section.
“Indeed it is!! Anger and hurt are part of sitting in the ashes, a necessary and understandable part of the process,” she wrote. “But once we clear the rubble, we can build back better!!! Onward and upward my friend. The world is still watching and cheering us all on!!”
Earlier this month, Married to Real Estate received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Instructional/How-To Program. “We might be the first show to get nominated after we got canceled! Like, what!?” Sherrod joked in a Wednesday, July 9, Instagram clip of herself and Jackson reaction to the awards nod.
She added, “This should be inspiration for everybody. It certainly is for us, because when you work hard, you’re authentic, you do what you love, and you do right by people, folks are paying attention. And it doesn’t matter, all the other noise. What matters is that you’re creating impact, and that’s what the world needs right now.”

I will never forgive HGTV for canceling Bargain Block. That show was fresh and original and it served a great purpose: the rehabilitation of Detroit. I am so sick of fancy rich people shows like Property Brothers. But I guess if you’re not a white straight dude, HGTV doesn’t want you. I will never watch HDTV again.

I watch the shows of most the ones that got cut. Shocked to as why they were canceled. I have watch property brothers. But they just always seem so perfect. Gets old. Anyway far as white straight dude are only ones not cut. Yet my lottery house with David you cant tell me he is straight and the other dude who isnt straight will return. So maybe we are heading to a series of straight verses non straight. I dont like My lottery house. These people have won a shit load of money. And then act like they are spending their last dollar on choosing their lottery house. Everything seems to be going to shit. We cant even have TV shows without BS

I’m mad as hell about “Married to Real Estate” and “Bargain Block” being cancelled! Such talent was displayed in both renovations and design! There are several shows that are less inspiring….. The outcry about these two shows being cancelled will result in less viewership of HGTV! Bad move….

I support all of the cancelled shows!

Please get together with the other shows and start your own network. You will have a lot of support. Can't believe HGTV did something so stupid.

Q
If white right for what? I have marched and supported black all things and am disgusted and fed up with ignorance in all races, etc, etc. Am not rich but am not out of the hills either (am an nyc chick who loved living in nc mountains. Love the following: married to real estate (what an example in living!), bargain block, farmhouse fixer, small town bargains, renovation Hawaii, 100 Day (and yay it’s still on), the glam show - great couple!, never saw much of Izzy so no opinion, and while the Laurel couple bored me at least they worked with diversity - start in small towns please! Sorry off course.

What is wrong with HGTV. If this is a publicity stunt. It’s not working

If it is a publicity stunt, the stunt will cause them to lose a lot of viewers. I loved all the shows on HGTV, except, ALL the house hunter shows including the international ones! And lo and behold, those seem to be the only ones on anymore! So, I spend more of my time watching the Magnolia channel and reruns of my fave shows that I have saved on my list in my account!

I agree. Home town sucks. I have never watched it.. Bring back Martied to Real estate. I love how they interject their family. We need more humane and caring tv.

It really bothers me why they canceled the best shows off; but keep renewing the boring shows of folks who has money to burn on renovations. You guys messed up big time HGTV. Keep playing the same ol' shows and you shall see your ratings going down, because you lost me after 20+ years as a super fan. To the folks that got canceled, keep your heads high, smile, and keep the faith

I don't understand HGTVs fascination with the property brothers they're rude, snide and sarcastic. I think everyone who was cancled should start their own streaming channel like chip and joanna did.

I think Oprah should pick up these shows and it’s HGTV’s loss. I have watched HGTV for years and I’m just sick of their lack of concern with their viewership. You need need people and new material. Oprah if you’re listening pick up “Married to Real Estate” “Bargin Block” and “Farmhouse Fixer” and I will start watching your channel more with these additions. Also pick up house in 100 days with Mika and Bryan. Quality shows like these represent most of us who are buying from economical to mid luxury homes.

I think it’s a shame HGTV cancelled Married to Restate - it’s an excellent program for families to watch - something you don’t have to cover your kids eyes 👀 to watch something families can enjoy and watch together. Not to mention can relate and learn
from them. What’s your problem HGTV? What were your bases for this show’s cancellation? Hate making things racially motivated!!

I think all the stars of those cancelled shows should open their own network, streaming platform or You Tube Channels to keep sharing their quality renovations programs and let HGTV invest on House Hunters as much as they want.

The show was simply excellent! I am baffled as to why HGTV would cancel this show particularly when the show provided viewers with creative ideas for home improvement, decorating and real estate savvy within a budget Americans actually afford. Oh did I forget to say a positive family culture! I have to wonder HGTV's motives. Their programing continues to decline.

I'm really so sad If you bring most of what I think your heading I'll be done I watch this channel and TBN and pretty much that's it Well see how your ratings go
