Interesting that one of the future dates ("memories") was January 6, 2021. Given what actually happened on that exact date it's almost weirdly creepy that date was chosen.

Wasn't expecting that!

Aw, I'm afraid Dan's going home. His dish didn't turn out well according to him and the judges. I'm bummed because I like him.

They do. I find it hysterical. I am also hungry but my meal is lame frozen fish and frozen fries. My excuse is I am traveling tomorrow and don't want a bunch of pots to wash.

Dan with his "this basement will be mine and I have all the say" was...interesting. The "Where are they now" couple that said they sleep separately, him with their son and her with their daughter. I also found that "interesting".

Purchased and watching all of the seasons. I'm on the last season and just watched this episode. And my takeaway is being disappointed that Sam had a shirt on under his flannel. I was hoping to see some Sam chest when Cass "probed" his bullet wound <perv>. I also thought Sam was about to kiss Eileen before Cass interrupted but y'all have me wondering.

House Hunters has always had gay couples on the show without making it a "thing". Although it seems only in recent years did they start having lesbian couples. I used to ask my son "where are the lesbians?" Maybe lesbians weren't interested in applying for the show. Anyway I do enjoy the diversity of the people who are featured.

I read somewhere (Instagram?) this was based on a book. And in the book Siobhan was protecting Anna because she was carrying the cult baby but the writers chose to change the plot. Or something.

I used to try to have dinner ready so I could have something to eat during the episode when I inevitably got hungry from looking at the food. It just hasn't been happening this season. I'm sure they're skilled chefs, but something isn't coming across for some reason. I feared Danny was getting a "knifed" edit so I'm glad it wasn't. I like him and Dan. Danny reminds me of Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel and I like Dan because I find him attractive, probably because he seems humble. And of course Michelle is awesome, she just really missed it this challenge.

I agree, but what I was wondering is if the producers are trying to create a "villain". Because, you know, all competition shows MUST have a villain 🙄

Are the producers trying to make Laura the "villain"? Because after annoying Hat Guy left there didn't seem to be anyone whose personality grated or who expressed that tired competition show trope "I'm not here to make friends". They kept showing Laura when she had no expression on her face which I guess was supposed to be "villain" face? If so, she's a pretty weak villain.

Aw, I liked Charly. At least he has some $ toward his wedding from the quick fire.

1/3 of the budget on a cake that apparently kinda sucked.

No one wants to do dessert.

I have this recorded on my DVR but based on what y'all have written I'm just going to delete it. I do not like gore. Suspense, yes, but gore turns my stomach. Although I usually like AHS I'm giving up on this season. I also gave up on 1984, not because of gore but out of boredom. Ah well...

Watching all the seasons and just finished watching this episode. One thing that bugged me...why did John ask Sam why he wasn't in Palo Alto? Couldn't he see that both of his sons were SIXTEEN YEARS older? Sam in particular looked nothing like 2003 Sam.

Oh, and I forgot to say it's really annoying when the knifed contestants say they didn't get a chance to cook their food. Um, yes you did. In this case you had four chances, in fact. So why didn't you cook "your" food?

When I was in school (a thousand years ago), if nearly everyone failed a test the blame was on the instructor, not the students. So I have to believe this challenge was either poorly explained or it was just too out there for most of the contestants. I thought it was a fairly easy concept (I thought of hard/crispy vs soft), but it seems it went over the heads of nearly all of them. Or they understood but their execution was way off. The abbreviated judges table did amuse me. No long explanation of why the dishes sucked, just straight to "Y'all are leaving, you can leave now, bye."

Especially when her so called best friend slaps her across the face in a restaurant. Oh wait, she APOLOGIZED as though she deserved to be bitch slapped in public 🙄. No wonder these satan worshippers or whatever picked her. She's a wimp.

There's "WTF" where you want to know what happens next, and then there's just plain "WTF??!!" This reminds me of the last season of Twin Peaks, where nothing made sense and I stopped watching. And I don't feel Emma Roberts is a strong enough actor to carry a show. I just keep thinking "I'm supposed to believe this is an Oscar worthy performer?" And dropping F bombs every so often is not compelling script writing, it's just lazy attempts at shock value. I enjoyed NYC but I just can't get into this one.

I don't know how those two friends ever thought buying a vacation home together was a good idea. Money has ruined more friendships than anything else, I would guess. At least they were able to salvage their friendship in the end.

It's a shame What's His Name decided to play a character instead of just shutting up and cooking. He made a lot of people dislike him, which is a shame since from what someone else wrote his restaurant concept is a laudable one.

Vocal fry on L.A. young lady and Spicoli voice on Long Island guy were super grating. Especially since it sure sounded like L.A. lady was putting on that annoying voice, presumably because she thinks it sounds cute. Montclair is adjacent to L.A. County but is far from downtown. But yes, technically it is "near L.A."

I find the bad acting to be hilarious. "Oh, this is such a tough decision! We better hurry up and choose one or we will miss out!" When we all know they already bought the house. I don't blame them because they're not (usually) actors. I do find it amusing when people say "They should have chosen house #X! That's the one I would have picked!" Well, they didn't choose it because it was a decoy and they're already in escrow with the one the did buy. I thought everyone knew the show is staged but maybe not?
