I haven’t been paying much attention, but there’s no Ty, so maybe I should. My sense so far is that Kim’s motley crew doesn’t listen to her much. The crew that keeps losing. And the preview has the wife walking off whining she wants out. Awesome—a series first? Or, hohum, do they finally win because Jasmine feels sorry for her? 😂 Bet I’ve persuaded you to watch, eh? 😂😂🤣🤣

Surprisingly, to me, they didn’t realize how damaged he was. Perhaps the divulging was a one-way street and Truman was careful to keep it that way. He was never not damaged, but I think living and writing In Cold Blood lit the fuse that eventually blew him up. The movie was okay, the book is harrowing to read. I was sure when watching Truman dance around by himself that he imagined someone was there. I remember reading La Cote Basque when it ran in Esquire —all I could conclude was that irl, those women were gonna cut him. Or equivalent expression in those days. And I was in high school!

Chicken hash, my dears.

Amen. I missed the beginning when it first ran, so I missed seeing a longer-haired unhappiest woman in the world. Her new ‘do was more flattering, but her not-nice nature seems to come through loud and clear. Least likable homeowner I’ve seen on this show—and many others. ETA: I felt bad for their contractors. That never happens!

Welcome back, best show currently on TV.

I was thinking about who I'd rather lose than Bobby. Jonathan, while a lot, and I hope this all makes him happy, does try hard to improve their heroes. Not so much with Antoni. He seems nice and is easy on the eyes, and I think he has a cookbook, but it doesn't translate the same helpful way that it does with the others. The dog likes him, though.

This was the long-time producer’s last Grammy Awards. One of those? Maybe. But both Meryl and Taylor perfectly synced with Trevor’s narrative? Well-played bit, imo.

At first, I thought that bubbly chandelier was nuts, but the more I thought about it, maybe it would be fascinating. I have no desire to live in Laurel, but damn, I’d reconsider if those guys offered that loft. You’ve come a long way, Erin!

Yikes, I read up on Doreen. Sounds like the Fab 5 we’re not her problem. My impression while watching her episode was that Bobby fixed up the sweet shop, but that’s different than getting it ready to function as a business. So maybe not a surprise that it isn’t running/open. Interesting that Bobby reached out to help but his post was deleted.

The Sweet Life: Doreen Don’t know how much the show had to do with the penultimate event in this one, but that’s what I watch for—the hero celebrated. And I had to bust out the Kleenex for so much of this. Sweet. And bittersweet. Well-deserved and lovely.

Toby’s joke about his white linen suit sealed the deal, see you again! #3 was the Masterpiece Theatre place of her dreams but so not their style. I guess the Murphy bed wasn’t a deal killer, but no box spring and a thin mattress? Heh, they’re young enough for that, I guess.

Cheers to Ernest and Miranda. I’m guessing it was mostly inertia that prevented them divorcing and perhaps Miranda said something to her daughter that sparked the SOS. All the guys did a good job, but Bobby! Home run. I’m sorry this season is his last because he understood the assignment. Miranda’s space and shared space. Well-played. Also, New Orleans!

Well, Rico’s back, and so is my contractor traumatic stress syndrome. But our guy couldn’t hold a candle to Jerry here, who basically robbed the family, stiffed his subs and suppliers, lied repeatedly and thought it was a good idea to appear on camera. He left them with an exposed second floor! He claimed, at various points, to be dying and/or headed to prison. Either, really. Rico fixed the house, didn’t take a fee, helped the family get $40k or more from the insurance company and got a bunch of materials donated. The couple seemed nice, but yikes, their previous two years were horrible. Rico’s team made them a nice indoor/outdoor set up, additional bathroom and a lovely bedroom for the two young daughters. But did I see just one bed? Idiot Jerry couldn’t even measure the custom doors correctly! Rico reframed it all and I was relieved not to have to hear about the need for a steel beam.

Yep, a lot of talk about needing to chill more, spend family time, plus her now-aging parents are nearbyish. I think Mr. Skinnydip has a calendar with a return date circled. I liked the realtor, I suspect he was afraid to turn his back on Mrs. Skinnydip.

You'd think that maybe the producers wouldn't encourage that/get involved in it. But what do they care, I guess. That's entertainment. I'm usually glad when the million dollar ticket winners set a budget of $200K to $300K, although it frequently results in David showing homes that HHs would barf at (small rooms, builder-grade finishes--nothing wrong with any of it, just not, you know, millionaire stuff--but don't get me started on that conceit again;-)

Nice job with the former president's home! Those floors were magnificent. We never saw the primary bedroom or bath, as the budget didn't stretch that far. Also, the dining room isn't exactly suited to just the two of them--or the addition of a high chair. But I guess that's the price of living rent-free. Loved the porches, too, and mo' shade will be helpful. On that note, I didn't catch if there was AC. Having the design/woodworking college named for them is quite the honor. Very moving, as if someone started chopping onions in here. Of course, I'd also just learned the Lions won. My late Dad had season tickets for (losing) years so that felt like a big deal, too. (I couldn't watch, afraid I'd jinx them;-)

Thank you for the 90 minutes. It was recorded and can now be deleted.

Because it didn’t work—someone forgot the candy boxes they were supposed to fill up. So they thought it was as stupid as I did, or anyone else who knew how it was supposed to work. 😡

So the Beef creator said he does it all for his three dogs and urged the FDA to fast-track canine anti-aging pills. If that’s his next show, I’d watch that.

Heh, did Calista tell Harrison, we’re out of here?!

They may wish it, too. Likely though that the good deal big house wasn’t on the market when they had to hurriedly find a house (if that part was true;-)

LOL! Definitely made a big deal of #3. But like Grizzly pointed out, one bathroom?! Bedrooms not in the house? Smaller footage? They said up front that they needed room for everyone and #1 was the biggest space, best arrangement, awesome view and 2 bathrooms . 😂

Thanks, fixed it.

Adrian in Paris and on the Riviera (touting her properties in the Marais, look it up). Richard in London and environs (I got used to that beard!). Kevin in Berlin (he's a cutie). The tall guy with the white hair (can't recall his name or where he is, but I like him). Floor in Amsterdam (she will jump into a canal, which gets her listed). And your favorite realtor--this is the place to dish on their style, snark and massive self-control to not go off full tilt on some of these house hunters.

LOL, looks like I'm the only one watching this show and I don't even like it. Although, my hate watch is softening to a WTH watch. So tonight Jasmine "flips" the show's conceit--they didn't wreck their house as much as, allegedly, their house is going to wreck them (their relationship). This 40-something (maybe) year-old couple with 6 kids (there look to be twins in there). They currently share their bedroom with a toddler and an infant. The older daughter has her own room and the other boys are jammed into one room. They have $300,000 (!) for the reno, but when Jas asks why they don't use that as a downpayment on a new house, aha, the house belonged to his (her?) grandmother and they want to keep it in the family. So Jas and her crew decide to convert the large garage into an ADU (for permits--they'll need to put in a sink, as in a kitchenette, so she turns that into a laundry room). The family bought an RV and takes off for the 12 (15, in the end) weeks needed. Yes, of course that didn't last long and they said they were in a rental. Although, maybe I heard they were at a parent's. So weird. Jas takes out a load-bearing wall, puts in a 24' beam, new windows, redoes the fireplace, living room and puts in a ton of storage, a built-in banquet, an island, new kitchen, then goes out to the garage and puts in the laundry room/office for him (a shelf with a pull-out chair that looks like drawers from the back), and a giant fancy bathroom/wet room, walk-in closet and large bedroom. That musta been a very large garage. NO KIDS ALLOWED. So that left three original bedrooms, which are not seen again, and here's hoping there's a 2/2/2 set up with, I think, one bathroom. Good luck, kids! Your parents thought they could spend 12 weeks in an RV with you. And vice versa. Oh yeah, Jas said early on that maybe one of the kids would get the house. The parents said they wanted to leave the house to the kids. No need to cut 40 years into the future to see that get settled.
