I don't watch much of HGTV these days, but from what I've seen of the shows on it, I get the impression that the reason they don't feature the worked of skilled tradespeople is that they don't use skilled tradespeople. A lot of the work you see go by at double-speed is quick and dirty set dressing.

That is true at least some of the time. Some close friends were selected for a renovation of their living room and at the end it looked nice but things like electrical outlets weren’t hooked up, tv mounted on new wall but no plug, etc. Looked good on the show but there was definitely work to be done to finish it so it was livable.
