  1. I could care less about their nationality - just let the best baker win.  Shoot, half the time these days it seems the winners are from Canada...LOL!

    Don't forget the cute Italian guy who won one of the shows and then went on to be a judge (and was always kind of a jerk in my opinion - he looked good, obviously baked well but never seemed to have a great personality).

    My thoughts exactly. The backsplash & the wood were ugly. How are they going to keep that wood clean in a kitchen? The grease & the odors will never come out. 

    I'm thinking that they probably sealed it within an inch of its life (or at least that's my hope).

  3. I think for her aesthetic she isn't bad and she does appear to be learning but it is pretty funny how few credentials people have that get their own show.  I guess looking good on the camera helps a lot (although I want to yank that nose ring out and buy her some jeans that aren't skin tight and tattered).

  4. I would have picked the Harrell House just for the screened in front porch but I wasn't the one doing the picking!

    I actually thought this was one of Erin's nicest, most cohesive designs.  Not particularly my taste but altogether I thought the house turned out nicely (although not a fan of the wood back splashes and definitely not a fan of the countertop going up behind the stove - but again - not my house!).  The front of the house looked really nice with the upgraded landscaping and shutters and the back patio really seemed to suit their family.  Moving the laundry room was definitely the right choice.

  5. I was especially touched with the man who said when they moved into the projects that it was the first time his family had ever had hot running water.  When we think "projects" it brings such a negative image, but in this case it appears to have improved (at least initially) the lives of the people who moved into these units.

  6. If the restaurant you are referring to is the one in The Woodshed it has been up and running for several years and seems to be doing pretty well and I've never heard anything bad about it. The menu appears to be a lot of Maine-specific dishes (i.e., seafood) so it isn't in my wheelhouse but I am on a Facebook page run by Dave Emith, among others, and people are very happy with both their experience at the restaurant and in the retail shop.

    I have never seen Ashley's resume so I have no clue as to her qualifications. We each have our own concepts of style - her's is not exactly mine but she's not designing for me!

  7. Jack is one of my favorite characters on the show and I truly hope - especially with the show ending - that they give him a win on whatever his future holds...for goodness sakes the guy deserves it!  True he has brought a lot of his troubles on himself but he is at heart such a sweet and loving guy.

    I liked Cottage on a Cliff, but I don't understand the need to have a master suite in a cabin. If only one person per bed were staying in the other bedrooms (not including the sofa bed), that would be 7 people sharing the other bathroom. I think it would be much more practical to have two bathrooms that everyone shares.

    Perhaps the master suite concept is because these are also private homes used for private use on occasion.  No expertise here, just a guess.

  9. I agree about that contestant (Karen?).  She definitely marches to the beat of a different drummer.

  10. Oh that makes me sad because I have only watched the first two episodes and I fear the person who is the most smug and arrogant is the one who wins...and as you said - probably deserved but not enjoyable.

  11. Maybe she just really isn't good at math?  I understand that you are saying that she doesn't need to verbalize it but not everybody can be good at everything.

    Perhaps a truer statement would be to say that she doesn't care about having to do the calculations required, which indicates a disinterest as opposed to an inability?

  12. I was a little let down that they reduced the water feature from a pond to a dribble although I am sure for practical reasons that was the best decision, and also was there any kind of barrier up around the now empty concrete pit to prevent little ones from tumbling in?  Otherwise I thought it was a really cool room.  Moving the front door was definitely the right move.  Erin really did understand the direction the homeowners wanted to go and kept as much of the original and uniqueness of the home (for example the forged handles in the kitchen).
