    I'm glad Nicolle Wallace is back.  I can watch Alicia for four hours on weekends but I would be happy if they MSNBC execs decided to replace Katy Tur with Alicia.

    No details but Nicolle said they were in the delivery room. I expect that she will be off quite awhile. I wonder if Alicia Menendez will be filling in for the rest of her time off.

    Was she off more than one day last week?  That was the day when everyone from 4 pm up to 10 pm was off.  She has been doing her show remotely for awhile with only an exception or two (Biden interview day).

    Vacation House Rules - General Discussion

    in Vacation House Rules

    I watched the first episode today and it was fairly entertaining.  Young tech entrepreneurs bought a bayside bungalow from a 90 year old who had lived there for 45 years. They wanted to remodel and update and rent it for now, with plans to move there later in life.

    Of course it was knotty pine everywhere and had significant mold/fungus damage to the supporting beams beneath the floor.  Scott took a very small 5th bedroom for expansion of a primary suite and creation of a room to house all the equipment for the smart home technology, which was everywhere--voice activated doors, appliances, lights, etc.  Debra also found a cool product to clad the existing fireplace stone without grout.

    The decor overall was nice and fairly gimmick free other than the smart home technology.  Scott projects that they could rent it for $1000/night in an area where the average rental is $400/night.

    Beachside Brawl - General Discussion

    I recognized the first two but I wasn't sure where I'd seen them before.  I didn't remember anyone on the PBS show.  Which one?

    The contestant on Great American Recipe who was on one of the GGG episodes with grandmothers is named Robin.  She cooks "Mediterranean" food.

    Thanks for creating this topic.  I've wanted to comment somewhere but couldn't figure out the right forum.

    ITA about Antonio being a surprisingly good host.  The premise of the competition is OK but limiting it to "beach" food makes me wonder how repetitive it will be by the end.

    I've been watching too much Guy's Grocery Games because I recognized two of the contestants in the Beachside Brawl from his series--Jada from the East Coast and the blonde from the West who was eliminated in the most recent episode.  I also saw another GGG contestant on the PBS Great American Recipe competition.  Obviously, I need to turn off GGG!

    BBQ Brawl - General Discussion

    I didn't make it to the end, so I'm happy to hear that Rashad won.  Bobby was obviously unhappy from the beginning and I would be spectaulating if I tried to identify why.  I hope that they look at this season and why Bobby was so cranky/distanced and if they can't make the appropriate changes, they scrap plans for future episode. Of course it all comes down to ratings and money, and Bobby Flay has lots of pull.

    Magnolia Network: More HGTV Than HGTV

    in Network Talk

    I decided to binge For the Love of Kitchens today and I'm hooked.  I was particularly smitten with the fourth episode which was focused on a small flat in St. Ives, a coastal town in Cornwall.  Paul, one of the principles in the series, was from the area and he purchased the flat in a six unit terrace as a vacation getaway/rental.  Of course, the renovation that was shown was primarily a kitchen and living area and they used cabinetry removed from their show kitchen. 

    What captivated me was the location.  I'll never get to SW England to see St. Ives, but it was amazing.  And I can understand why Paul and his partner Helen would want to spend time there.

    So at this point, Bobby will poach Sunny, leaving Jet with Winnie who is likely to go next week or the following.  He'll be out of the competition then, I guess.  I have a feeling that this will all work out ok for Mr. Flay.

    I'm having a hard time enjoying this season also.  Bobby has been in a foul mood since the beginning; Anne has been overly involved without being helpful; and the contestants are struggling too much. 

    I'd be okay with Tina getting eliminated but would that allow Bobby to poach Sunny or Rashad, one of whom is the likely winner, at the last minute?
