Jonathan and Drew Scott are rock stars of the HGTV world.

"The Property Brothers" drew a huge crowd of more than 3,000 people Saturday at the Home and Garden Show in Minneapolis. Fans — mostly female — lined up as early as 8 a.m. to nab a good seat to get a glimpse of the tall, dark and handy identical twins.

Friends Brittany Krumm of Anoka and Nicole Preste of Lakeville were first in line.

"We're a little bit addicted to them," said Preste, who has watched the brothers' show about buying and reinventing fixer uppers since it debuted five years ago.

Carol Nannemann of Minneapolis brought her two daughters for a family day. "I love their creativity and chemistry," she said.

At their presentation, the Scotts seemed to satisfy the packed auditorium with their trademark good-natured brotherly teasing.

"Drew broke a nail and has not done any physical work since," said Jonathan, a contractor and designer.

The Property Brothers are the biggest stars to hit the Minneapolis show in a while.

Kristen Reveling and Sherry Bretz donned their black "Queen of Scotts" T-shirts for the occasion.

"They are amazing and talented guys," Reveling said.

"We even got to meet them on a cruise, 'Sailing With the Scotts,' " added Bretz.
