Me too. I remember thinking when she announced her flavors that they were the kiss of death! I guess she just has the special touch with them.

So I watched after your comments so I kept them in mind...I think that the point was made on the show several times that they specifically kept the garage designated as a garage (it was in reference to choosing LVP) so perhaps that was to alleviate any burden of increased property value? Also, apparently this family has had a history of having backyard gatherings so using the backyard as a party zone might not be unusual (so can they see the tv from the backyard patio - I mean - I know it is large but do I want to sit outside and peer inside a building to watch a movie?). At any rate, many people play music outside (I know my neighbors do) and there's not much you can do about it unless you carry on past certain hours in most cities. She looks to be the kind who would invite the neighbors over anyway - she had the nicest smile and seemed so joyful despite losing her husband. I found Jonathan trying to get how to be sexy tips from Andy Garcia a little cringe-worthy - and I usually like Jonathan!

I thought for sure Carly (? - tiny, wears glasses) was a goner but at least my favorites are still there.

He certainly never misses a good camera angle, but all in all he came across as very likeable and obviously adores his assistant and she adores him. I like the fact that she teases him and makes fun of him right in front of him, but then again turns it around into saying something positive about him. You can tell they are friends. The larger window really helped make the kitchen look larger but what is this obsession all designers seem to have with banquettes? I am not a fan - they are difficult to keep clean and I'm always the one who gets stuck on the inside!

I'm a fan of when they are offered free on Bookbub...LOL!

I suspect it is going to be a puff piece designed to try and polish his tarnished halo and if the Rust case is mentioned it will be given a favorable slant and he will be oh so sad about the death involved.

Baptism was around before Jesus - John the Baptist was baptizing people and Jesus and his disciples baptized people. Perhaps in Robyn's mind there were no significant years before she joined the family - thus her reference to the early years. Not sure exactly what she contributed except a new bunch of kids and debt apparently.

Unfortunately neither did I! Why would anyone want to watch anything with Alec Baldwin? To me he is one of the most unlikeable public figures (I've never forgotten his recorded conversation calling his young teenage daughter every name in the book).

I did go back and in a very short segment they did say that this cabin was located in the city - honestly what a charming piece of property! (By the way CrazyInAlabama - I love to read your synopsis of the show whether I have seen it or not because you notice things I sometimes miss!). My only ??? moment was why was the bedroom so small and the patio so large? I wonder if it was because it was so close to the pond (or perhaps the homeowner just wanted it that size). At any rate, the house seemed perfect for them and I wouldn't mind drifting around that pond for a while (plus I love weeping willows).

I totally dislike ice storms - here in Texas we shut down! I hope you get home before the worst of it hits.

At my Southern Baptist church it is not uncommon for a family member who is a person of regard in the church (a deacon or the person who led the person to Christ) to stand in the waters with the person being baptized, and sometimes even do the baptizing (a father to their child, a youth pastor to a teen, the children's pastor for a child, etc.), and sometimes they are people who might not attend our church but they are always of our denomination, but never a person with no relationship to the denomination or the church. Especially with someone of such notoriety as Kody. He would be welcomed to sit in the congregation but if our pastor let him participate in the baptism I'm pretty sure they would be an unroar.

If Nancy retired what would people have to complain about? Hard to believe we are already thinking of spring!

Thanks for the recap - I fell asleep so I have to go back and watch it tonight. For some reason though I thought the little house was in town "but you would never know it" - but like I said - I guess I was sleepy...LOL!

I know that it has been discussed in the past when they all lived in the same house that they were not allowed to walk through Meri's living room although it was the only interior way to get from one part of the house to the other - instead they had to go outdoors. Perhaps that was part of the rules which were being referred to. David seems perfectly happy to let Christine have her independence - he strikes me as a very secure man who is truly enjoying watching his wife flourish. I'm sure a lot of the comparisons to Kody are production driven, but since he always comes out on top in the comparison game I doubt that's a huge problem (and especially if he is getting fairly easy payout for it). I didn't hate the color of the picnic tables but they were a little glaring in that brown environment. What a weird conversation they had!

But I would want to win a Disney cruise also...LOL! At least this time they got a good prize for winning.

My only issue with the Yountz house (and by the way - thought this client (and his family) were absolutely lovely) is I wish they had kept the french doors natural wood instead of painting them. Cute touch using the French bulldog theme to hold back the curtains considering he has a French bulldog. I would have picked this house also just for the large kitchen alone.

I would love for Meri to find a great guy who shares (or at least appreciates) her quirky sense of humor and for her to live her best life with him. Best kind of revenge!

I do agree that sometimes the kids' enthusiasm can be a bit much but I have also raised a daughter who traveled in a pack so the over the top noise doesn't even phase me...LOL!

I enjoy his awkwardness. I also agree that Allison is amazing.

I hope whatever is going on gets resolved successfully and that he does indeed return to GBBO.

Noah Azeez - middle Eastern (please know I'm not trying to be offensive - just descriptive) young guy who worse glasses. He actually was paired with the Stephenville cowboy and neither of them did great but Noah's cake was tragic. The challenge was making a 2-layer (1 - 8", 1 - 6") cake with the bottom being an occupation (cook, fireman, etc.) and the upper being a breed of dog. The twist was bacon.

On the bright side she now gets ALL of Kody. Be careful what you wish for Robyn!

I'm watching. Some of the kids I find quite likeable. I think the little redhead girl seems quite self-possessed and competent. So far she hasn't busted out the waterworks when things haven't gone her way, which is maybe heartless of me to say but some of them seem to default to tears (and yes, I know they are just kids). I will say that the little guy that got eliminated last night certainly put the best spin he could on his really terrible cake - cracking a joke about his mom being a chiropractor and his cake character needing an adjustment. Too much bacon! I love bacon (and yuck - some of their bacon looked like it needed a few more minutes in the oven - I don't like floppy bacon) but if I was going to eat a cake with bacon in it I don't want it to be the main ingredient. I'm not sure I would eat a cake with bacon in it.

Somehow I missed watching the Zach Braff episode until this week - it was a great episode and it was evident he really enjoyed working with The Property Brothers and doing something really nice for his assistant and their family - including having them stay at his house when the timeline ran over.

This was one of my favorite houses they have done this season. It was tastefully done and everything that was added enhanced the original house. I even liked the green toilet and sink! And of course I loved the added screened in porch.
