HGTV star Mina Starsiak Hawk has opened up about the end of Good Bones and the backlash she received from fans for stopping the hit renovation series. On the most recent episode of her podcast, Mina Af, Hawk spoke to sociologist Danielle Lindemann about Good Bones, which ended after its eighth season last October. She also hit back at “nasty” comments she says she got from “HGTV women.” “I think for us, it really was because we had so many characters. You could relate to at least one of us,” Hawk said (per People) when explaining why the show lasted as long as it did. Good Bones premiered on March 22, 2016, and followed Hawk as she ran her Indianapolis-based home renovation business, Two Chicks and a Hammer, with her mom, Karen E. Laine. Other members of Hawk’s family, including her husband, Steve Hawk, and her brother, Tad Starsiak, also appeared on the show.
