It's all about the money. The labor and material used on the show is not tax deductible because it is not a non profit. Everybody donates the house, the production company and ABC make money. One family gets a house.
The family gets the house as "in kind" payment for the use of it during the filming. Tax consequences???
It's reality TV folks. Sooner or later you will see people die for the chance to make money on a reality show.
