MN to Nairobi: The husband really annoyed me when he leaned out of the balcony just to be able to get a glimpse of the neighbors’ balcony (it was not adjacent) and said “Is that the neighbors’ balcony? That will take getting used to (or words to that effect).” 🙄 I loved that house! I bet it would be easy to hire someone to do the yard work and also hire a housekeeper to come in weekly. However, I can understand the wife not wanting to be isolated.

I was! 😏

Yeah, when I saw that big kitchen with the empty space in the middle, I thought “they can put a nice island there.” I would have kept the mud room rustic, too.

I liked them too. The husband reminded me of John Krasinski. I liked that they painted the cabinets instead of ripping them out to put in white Shaker ones. I didn’t really understand the half wall reno. I would have gotten rid of it all together. BTW, WTF with putting the full bath on the first floor and the half bath upstairs with the bedrooms in the first place? 🙄

Some HHs act as if a kitchen is unusable if the cabinets or appliances are the wrong color! 🙄

Our intro to Heahmund was him presiding over a funeral then banging the widow. Not exactly someone devoting their entire life to God.

AZ: What made the wife even more ridiculous was that she was from Arizona.

Seriously! Don’t move to AZ if you want a big green yard. Idiots! 🙄

Toronto to Limerick: I’m glad they picked the place with the donkey and pony neighbors! I would be back there feeding those cuties, too. I liked the third place, too. The husband already looked Irish. Wonder if there was a pub nearby? 😆

Like Heahmund’s, I think Alfred’s new haircut looks too modern. They didn’t have electric clippers back then. If Ragnar and Kwenthrith had a son, he wouldn’t be like that boring little twerp!

Several of the reviews on TripAdvisor mentioned how nice the owners were. As for Vietnam, whenever some HH says a place doesn’t have enough “character,” I say “you give the place character then. Go out to the markets and get local stuff for the place.” 🙄

I loved it when the guy spit in Ivar’s disgusting face. Now that’s a Viking! Harald has taken a shining to that shield maiden who looks as if she could beat him up. Rafarta? Seriously? 😆 Ivar’s destiny sounds dismal. Yay! Poor Seer. He didn’t deserve that. I hope Ubbe and Hvitserk can reconcile. Glad Aethelred didn’t betray Alfred.

Lake St. Louis: I was so distracted by the wife’s dried out, stringy, over-processed hair, I don’t remember which house they picked except it wasn’t the pool house obviously. She could be a pole dancer with that hair! She annoyed me complaining about the windows when the room was as bright and sunny as can be. The little girls were cute.

Guadalajara: I liked Los Pollos Primos. Alex and Gerardo (what great hair!) were hotties! I googled the restaurant. It had good reviews on TripAdvisor. Good luck to them.

Vietnam: Dad seemed to think those lovely Vietnamese ladies were smiling at him. I think they were trying not to laugh at him. He looked like a bum. 😆

Dayton: Refreshing to see HHs who decide the big kitchen remodel can wait so they paint the cabinets and put in a new stove. I hate it when people say a place isn’t “move in ready” because they don’t like the kitchen countertops or the cabinets. That fold out bed in the basement wall was creepy! 😨

Philly to Sydney: Sorry to be shallow, but he was so much more attractive than her. I hated the place they picked except for the view. I’m surprised that an apartment in a high rise would not have AC. At least it was on the beach unlike the place they picked.

I hate it when people smash up cabinets that could be donated to a place like Habitat for Humanity.

I actually liked the mixed colors and finishes in the kitchen. Everything doesn’t have to be matchy matchy.

London: Richard! 😁 I liked the studio best too. I wish my studio had a washing machine in it. It has a huge walk-in closet and a big bathroom a little kitchen with almost no counterspace. I get so annoyed with HHs who bitch about counter space when there is plenty.

Me, too! Drives me nuts.

Her name was Kwenthrith not “Crazypants.” I hope Ivar does another Caligula turn and does a C-section on Freydis.

And they called their poor kid “Salvie”! 🙄

I kept thinking mob connections. 😆 Can’t have the neighbors see you burying bodies, can you?

They were off for adventure and English teaching jobs (surprise!). Since they were young, white and cute, I’m not surprised they got jobs. They were shocked to find out that Cambodia is hot and humid. 🙄 They didn’t have to live there before they could apply for a job. Someone probably told them to just come down on a tourist visa and look for a job. Since China has tightened up on requirements for teaching English, places like Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand are the new hot spots.
