Cottage on a Cliff: I actually liked all of the renovations (usually there is at least one thing I wish had been done differently), but was there no washer/dryer in the new plan?

That detective category might have been my favorite category ever. My dad and I shouted with joy to see that Encyclopedia Brown was in there! So many great memories of reading those books together when I was growing up! ❤️

That shower tile was gorgeous!!

I have always liked Eddie but I wish the writers would dial her back a bit. I love Jamie and would happily watch an hour devoted to just his story. And Frank’s story didn’t add anything to this episode.

He really does!!

She also was a sergeant last season - same rank as Jamie. I already miss Capt. Espinosa.

I saw this today and enjoyed it so much more than the first movie. It was wonderful to see my boyfriend Tom Branson so happy, Mary and Edith getting along with some mild snarkiness, and the fashions! Some sadness throughout the movie but lots of laugh out loud moments, too. Honestly, I’d be fine with this being the end of Downton Abbey since I don’t care about the next generation and everyone’s story ended on a good note (except for Mary’s, and I would expect her to put her foot down at some point soon with hubby about spending some time at home, but I don’t need to see her do it). I will definitely be going back to the theater to see this again!!

They did 3: the house for the woman who provides day care for first responders’ children, the “Be Kind” mural, and the outdoor space in the alley with the 2 horse trailers remodeled to use as pop-up businesses plus a sitting area and party lights strung over the area.

I like her a lot. I don’t always like the things she says or does but I’ve always liked Eddie.

So… Is Baez leaving the NYPD now that she’s adopting the baby? I hope not because she and Danny make a great team. And tonight I’m just too tired to figure it out - I need someone to tell me straight out since that was too subtle for me to tell. 🙃

Party of one here. I enjoyed this episode.

I think you’re looking for Season 2’s “Collateral Damage.” This episode wraps up the Noble Sanfino story where Jamie has been working undercover.

I think Henry was fine with being outed once he saw the family’s reactions of admiration and respect.

I’m guessing that “Toey” is little Jack’s pronunciation of “Corey”.

What the ever-loving heck is Nastia wearing tonight???

I agree. It was nice to see the judges give props for the laundry room setup and the outside deck stairs, which would be tremendously valuable to the people who actually live in the house. It seemed like B&M really did understand the premise of adding overall value for a buyer, not just value in terms of what looks fancy or pretty. (Although their house had more of what I’d look for in a house as far as looks and function except for missing D&T’s mudroom. That would have made it 100% for me.)

THIS. I’ve seen them on other shows, and they seem like nice people, but their designs are very one-note and all about what THEY like.

If the color challenge was “must use your color in a meaningful way,” it seems like there should be some kind of penalty for not complying. It’s ridiculous that nothing was said about N&J and M&A not incorporating theirs. I kept thinking the ombre shower wall looked like dirt/mud sliding down the wall. Obviously not my style! Yes, B&M should have included more in the shower than just the rainfall heads, but they still should have won. They were robbed!!

I would have had to wash down all the coffee-stained walls and then painted or papered over them. I don’t care how “artsy” they might have been. Nope.

I figured David and Tiffany’s extra bedroom and full bath would put them over the top, but I really hated the entryway with the black paint and peacock wallpaper. So far, the only house I’d want to live in is Brian and Mika’s. I like their style. All the others look like magazine showplaces to me instead of places I’d want to live in.

I just finished watching the French-inspired (“pied-à-terre”) episode. I’m glad the homeowners were so happy with it, but I can honestly say I didn’t like one single thing about the renovation. Not one thing.

I’m not ready for this season to end!!

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one. Dang it. I wasn’t expecting that at all.

I’m one of those viewers. I think he’s doing a great job and I wouldn’t mind sticking with him.

I’ve never seen the original series, but I’m really enjoying this one. And I loved this episode. But, oh, I was absolutely horrified at the thought of having to use that “humane killer.” I’ve read some of the books but just never pictured what one actually looked like or how it was used.
