  1. Live long in Prosper:  That windmill ceiling fan was indeed awesome, but I bet they could have gotten it and had it installed for far less than $2,000.   

    (To be fair, in all the back and forth negotiating with the builder I can understand settling for paying for it now rather than mess with searching for one and getting it installed later.  New buyer fatigue is real.)

  2. That green exterior paint they gushed over tonight was very meh.  Hated the blue stripes on the porch and steps and that shade of blue didn't seem to go well with meh green.

    But otherwise I loved the episode, paused what I was doing more often than normal to just watch.

  3. AZ to Paris:  This will come as a shock, but our FACT CHECK shows some of the State of the Episode claims were BS.  Versailles is only 45 minutes from Paris by train, and any place close to where they showed the nearby 3rd house on the map was less than an hour from Paris via transit, not 1.5 hours. 

    FACT CHECK #2:  Adrian's glasses were indeed awesome.

  4. Milan:  I would have preferred more realtor and less sisters, but I'm too snarky.  Anyone see the lady walking with a yellow left shoe and a green right one in a crowd shot?

     

    Edit:  As a guy, I thoroughly enjoyed the Bocas del Toro, Panama episode.   Helloooooo Sam the friend.  Howyadoin!

    Seriously, though, without knowing much about the area I'd have some concern about safety in smaller towns and rural areas, versus moving to one of the good neighborhoods in Panama City.  Hopefully not an issue in BDT.  Wikipedia says 136 inches of rain a year....

  5. Awesome Atlanta couple where he looked like a Crash Test Dummies Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm version of James Harden ("His beard had turned from black into bright white"): 

    They had us laughing the entire episode.  His, uh, playing with the elephant trunk faucet was the LULZ.  Give them a series!  (He's a little too much of a ham, though, so HGTV producers would surely coach him up to annoying levels.)

  6. Florence to Florence episode:  Haha, what a fun family!  I wish all HH episodes were this well done.

    Seems odd that with a $500k budget and 7 children they were looking at a much cheaper 4-bedroom house. 

    But then..."Let's go find our kids, I'd like to take at least 4 of them home."

  7. Quite a funny episode tonight, those buyers had a good sense of humor.  Kitchen dance party.  Not sure which one was Toy and which one was Cory, though.

    Brick flooring inside the first house was weird.

    They did great renovating the house exterior, painting the railing black was perfect.

    Nice houses are so cheap there.  We're almost tempted to retire early and just move to Laurel on a smaller budget...A Whole New World.

    David has been inked a number of times, but the tattoo on his chest has special significance. Explaining the body art, David said, "It doesn't only say "limited edition"— below that it says 1/1 so I won't be duplicated

     

    I'm gonna have my kids start adding "1/1" to all their refrigerator art.

    I can look past it, but I don't get why he would want that many tattoos in the first place.

    Maybe he was afraid to speak up after the "Stay in your lane, Bro"....

  9. To the lady buying a tiny house in Atlanta:  STOP YELLING AT ME!

    Otherwise she and her friend were funny.  But I'm curious how much it costs to heat and cool one of those tiny houses.  They had one choice with a metal slab as part of a side wall, which got me wondering about how well it was insulated.

    Also wondered if anyone is ever stupid enough to buy one fo the tiny houses without rails on the steep stairs and upper area.  Looked really easy to roll over in bed, straight off the side, and break your neck on the kitchen counter while falling to the floor.  Geronimo!

    Personally, I’m more turned off by his tattoos. They’re taking over his whole body. He looks great from the neck up. He’s got great hair, beautiful smile, teeth & goatee. That said, the commercials are so OTT. Which I think is what they were going for. 

    I came over to ask what the hell happened to the host?  In the promo's now (not just the pimp one) he looks like a crashing meth whore covered in graffiti.

    Sure makes me wonder if he's another of many for whom wealth and fame opened too many unfortunate doors.  Not interested in watching anyone who seems like an addict, or someone who thinks that's a good look.  I cringe when his promo spots come on now.

  11. I believe they were also budgeting $40k for the future pool.  $159 house + $25 reno + $40 pool = $224k.  Their budget for all houses was $225k.  But I'm 224% sure that all the budget numbers and the other 2 house options were just producer inspired fiction, they had probably already bought their house.

    "...small closet, I may have to reduce my dresses to 375."  Was that a random number, or how many days she thinks there are in a year?

    (Not really trying to pile on, I liked them and wish them luck.  Just some humor.  Would love to see one of those followup episodes once their renovations are complete.)
