I think HGTV knows they basically ruined the validity (whatever it actually had) of this show by what they did last season by negatively impacting good design teams. I am pretty sure they had a more difficult time getting participants this year, and it looked like a dumbed down version of the show versus previous competitive seasons, imo.

I was just relieved Chelsea and Cole didn’t win, so I was okay with anyone else.

I wasn’t thrilled with the winner, but I understand the choice. I also don’t really like the tallest competitions either. It takes away from good design.

Several years from this post, lol, but I agree! I just did a rewatch, and I couldn't figure out why LG looked so weird since I have seen her recently and she looks much better than this--and it is because she has so much unnatural eye makeup on. I have no idea why, as she is very pretty and doesn't need it, nor does it suit her personality or the character. I found it distracting all of the way through, and I kind of remember thinking the same on the 1st time I watched years back.

I waited a long time for another rewatch of the Gilmore Girls as I find that after having seen it several times, it is better to have a few years distance before diving back in--to watch it with a fresh perspective (as much as possible anyway) I found last time my perspective on Season 7 changing, and this time clinched it for me. Other than the Christopher stuff--after that, it is a favorite season for me. The reasons why are listed below, but I will preface that even the Christopher stuff bothers me less over time as others have said on a different forum--it was almost like Lorelai needed to get that out of her system and once she did she could really move on--not that I would ever have wanted her split from Luke or for her to marry Chris, but I can better digest it thinking of it that way. For me Season 7 gets back to Stars Hollow charm, and cleans up what Season 6 messed up. I know everyone loves the original writers, but Season 6 was not their best work, imo. Season 7-- I loved: Luke / Lorelai moments of building their relationship back up--him reaching out to her for help, her being there for her for her dad's health, the corn maze moment, the singing to Luke, and of course the coming together in the last episode. Richard--had 2 beautiful moments with Lorelai at Rory's graduation and at the going away party Lane and Zach--even though not what I would have chosen, they took on their new roles beautifully and it was nice to see the town support them so nicely (and the funny moments with her mom) Logan growing up and all that went on with the relationship that seemed very real Paris was amazing in this season, and her relationship with Rory, and also her funny relationship with Doyle Emily had some great moments in this season as well. The discussion about the kayak and other ways she respected Lorelai, and also how she tried to get L to borrow money so they could continue Friday night dinners, lol Rory finding her path in a realistic way I am probably forgetting so much, but I love the last few episodes so much, especially the party and all that happened there, along with the ending scene at the diner.... tears! so many tears at the end :-)

I really like this show, and think they are doing a great job of enjoying the space and being realistic about the renovations they can complete.

I watched Survivor for many years but once they switched to 90 minutes I only lasted a season of that. I just got too bored and had to stop watching.

Page wasn’t my favorite on Rock the Block, but she was okay here. She and David worked well together. That said her design work doesn’t come close to Hilary’s. All of Hilary’s designs were impeccably done. I found Page’s to be just okay. I am surprised they chose to stay.

I think the bros are into the same color of wood for all of the kitchens this season, lol. I have never seen so many similar kitchens from them.

Nothing came up on my dvr yesterday. Did they end up having the event and ladies final?

I don’t see women’s free on the tv schedule? Is it only on peacock and not on E like the other events?

I just want to know why almost all of the designs are pretty bad? They are both capable of doing better, and I don’t even care for them as designers. And Ant was right, how did they end up with such similar designs for the bedroom? Both were ugly, but similar.

Thank you! I figured I missed something but rewound back and still couldn’t figure it out, lol.

I am confused. I understand Cam not passing as they weren’t doing much to him and he caved. But the other football player wasn’t clearly threatened by just being on a diving board? So why would he know to confess, as they decided he should to pass? The other two had more obvious examples that they would drown so had no choice but to confess. I think the finale is always a little confusing and I can’t help but think more would pass if they better understood what the expectations are. I am happy with the winners but not sure why the ending is always like this.

I was pleasantly surprised. I feel like he is trying to have conversations and truly interact/engage with the women, which is a good start. Many of the women seem sincere and nice, and so hopefully there are some good in the bunch to make it to the end without too much drama.
