  1. He hates things that claim, with no scientific evidence, that they have health benefits or the ability to cure health issues. The creator of this product is a brain surgeon who did a peer-reviewed study proving a 90% effectiveness rate which was published in JAMA. Once that was mentioned, I had a feeling Mark would be in.
  2. As soon as she said that dreaded word I was like "Oh lord - the Previously.TV boards are gonna light up tomorrow!" Truth be told, I learned the proper pronunciation from this site!
  3. So I am a little embarrassed at how much time I spent on this critical issue but . . . we are both right! The Chico lady was the realtor and the designer and his husband were the buyers on a different episode. And - she wore a DIFFERENT house necklace! This one was shaped like a gingerbread house.
  4. Oh, *that's* what she changed! I kept rewinding, to the annoyance of my family, to see how her "before" and "after" were in any way different. My daughter was like "I think she put some magnets on her refrigerator . . . ?" The other changes she made - the hideous blue tile on the living room floor, that crazy wild bird wallpaper - were so awful we screamed like we were watching a horror movie. I would swear I saw that buyer on another HH episode as a realtor. I remember one realtor with long brown hair, a long muu muu type dress and a necklace with a wooden house on it like she wore on this episode. There can't be TWO people with that same necklace! Anyone else remember her?
  5. I met Stephany at a bachelorette party last year and she made the most amazing, mouth watering cinnamon caramel rolls I have ever experienced. For that reason alone I am rooting for her! They must coach them to be over the top in their personalities and reactions because she was much lower key IRL.
  6. Well, that's a first - I don't think I have ever heard anyone on this show (or in real life) say "You know how I HATE original hardwood floors!" And she tore out the original hardwood to replace it with . . . ceramic tiles that look like hardwood. Ugh. I was surprised, though, how little you get for your money in Miami Beach (and this is coming from someone who lives in the Bay Area). I'm not as picky as the Miami Beach lady, but I was surprised that all of the houses looked somewhat dated, with very few high-end fixtures in the bathrooms or kitchen.
  7. It doesn't bug me in real life, but for whatever reason "we are looking to be absentee landlords for an investment property" makes for a less interesting show. I feel the same was about HH International - yes, I know it is all fake, but I still find the ones where they are at least PRETENDING to pull up all their stakes and move to a foreign country more compelling than the ones where they are clearly just living there for a short-term assignment, or buying up real estate for investment purposes. Plus, half the enjoyment of the show is seeing the property after they've moved in - what they've done to the place, how they have personalized it. I am so used to the formula that the show seems incomplete without the crucial third act!
  8. The strangest thing about the Wildwood, NJ episode - they never showed the condo after they supposedly moved in. They had the "4 months later" chyron, talked about how they negotiated a lower price since the place was unfurnished, and then . . . had a bunch of scenes of the father and son dragging chairs out to the beach, jumping into the ocean, etc. Not a single peek at the inside. The son had a throwaway line about "we don't spend much time at the condo, but we're out here on the beach a lot." I wonder if they never actually moved in, or if the whole thing was just a sponsored ad for the Wildwood boardwalk!
  9. That is, indeed, the wife of Michael Cudlitz as one of the moms-to-be at the pregnancy clinic. We went to high school together and she brought him to a couple of the reunions. She was our high school's "it girl" who could sing, dance, act, play the piano, and was the start of every play - though as far as I could tell, this is her only professional role . . . but's it's a good one! She is the one on the left with the dark hair, not the Ohndrea-looking one. Oh, and they are still married and have been for over 25 years!
  10. One thing I was never really clear on - WAS Erica really Dylan's sister, or was that all part of the whole scam? I sort of figured Suzanne was the type of grifter who would read about the death of a multi-millionaire in the paper and then concoct a whole song and dance to ingratiate herself with the guy's son. Was it ever established that she actually did have an affair with Jack, or that Erica was Jack's daughter?
  11. zivadanielle, I said the exact same thing when they showed that house! The boring grey and white palette, the telltale quartz counter top with the little sparklies, the cheesy light wood laminate floors . . . all hallmarks of Christina's design aesthetic, but even she wouldn't put light living room flooring right up next to the dark wood floor that was in the kitchen. In any case, that house was awful - and practically ON the freeway! I would have gone with the Reseda house myself, but the one they chose was really cute.
  12. No comments on the twist in the episode? Did anyone see it coming? I absolutely did not - even after Maddie pointed out that the picture was obviously a very old one. I tend to be very slow on the uptake with these things and was like "what are they saying . . . her kid is actually older and she hasn't seen her in a REALLY long time?" It wasn't until the scene with the tattoo that the penny dropped, and I was shocked! Do you think there really was never a baby? I could swear of of the flashbacks showed a stroller and a high chair, but maybe I'm mixing them up.
  13. I have read that they trump up a lot of the stories on HH International, and I am positive this has to be true in the Guatemala episode. I can't imagine that any family, particularly one with school-aged kids, would pick up and move their whole life to rural Central America for the compelling reason that "the husband visited 25 years ago and thought the lake was really pretty." I was surprised to see they were buying, rather than renting (really, you don't want to give it a trial run and see how this goes before committing to a 30-year mortgage?) but that just adds credence to my theory that their real story was less dramatic, like they were buying a vacation home/investment property.
