I for one really liked Mike B. in this show telling off Elizabeth and calling her pompous and blue blood in her attitude. She certainly always comes across like that. Thinks her mission in life is to save the whole world.

I certainly hope that whole story was made up. Who marries a guy who is so obsessed with copying mommy and daddy? He kept harping on a private place for him to watch his sports on TV which, I bet, will be he and his brothers sall over for the games while she is expected to make them all snacks in those double ovens like mom used to do.
Actually knew a couple in Chicago who lived in the same bungalow their whole married life and their children bought a few blocks away from them. It does happen, but not for me!!

I really like Reid. He's a cute little guy and he really worked hard to get the blue team that victory.
When the blue team started to fall apart at the beginning and one kid was like, "I don't know what's gonna happen!" I thought, "I do, your team is going to win." Che seemed like he was a good leader, though, so I'm glad he was safe; things were going well until Mateo decided to try to be "CEO" of the team, at least the way it was presented.
I try to hold off on criticizing individual kids, but when Sadie was like, "Compliment them!" to try to get the circus performers to vote for their dish...that wasn't a great look. Her comment about adults loving alcohol was funny to me, though.
Sadie is so obnoxious.

The couples that they are using for this show are getting more and more unbelievable. Maybe a better word choice is obnoxious. Also who in their right mind lets their agent pick out prospective properties to see.

Noticed Aaron's hands really were shaking when he was cutting that cake.

Was it Eric or one of his sous chefs that was responsible for the burnt parts of his dish? I kind of fast forwarded through some of the kitchen scenes. IIRC, it was Eddie that cooked the steak on that last entrée of Sara's. That looked delicious!
I always feel bad for Padma when she has to tell someone to PYKAG. You could tell how much she hated having to say that to Eric.
Everytime Eric takes Justin's advice about seasoning; it's a huge mistake. Happened at least twice now.

Picabo Street's parents did exactly that--called her "Baby Girl" for the first 2 years of her life. Urban lore is that she was named Picabo after her favorite game, but more reliable sources say it was for a nearby town.
Think her parents were ex hippies.

Years ago, I taught with someone who was pregnant with a boy. She told everyone that they were going to name him a certain name. We all started referring to him by that name. She referred to him by that name. Then she went on maternity leave. When she came back, someone asked about the baby using the name we all knew. Turns out that she changed the name. When we asked why (because she was SO sure about the previous name and loved it), she said that she and her husband thought that the baby didn't "look" like that name when he was born. I don't know if she got any pre-birth monogrammed gifts.
Don't understand how intelligent people can actually think that a baby doesn't look like the name that they had previously chosen. Understandable if the sex of the child is a surprise.

Well, at least AV didn't use one of her atrocious brass hoods in the kitchen in this last episode.

We typically had a list of 2-3 names and then decided at the hospital. We always ended up staying with our top pick, but while pregnant we told people the list if they asked. We knew too many people who said their favorite name and then heard lots of criticism. We found saying you aren’t sure but listing 2-5 names as possibilities blunts the critique. I had no problem with Kate telling Rebecca they weren’t sure yet, especially when she said she had doubts right up to naming him. Also makes sense to me.
Why would any prospective set of parents care about what people thought about the names they have chosen for their baby. They are the ones having the child, not the other people.

Sadie, right? She's the one who bugged me the most.
She reminded me of the two sisters from NYC last who wore those stupid JoJo bows.

Seriously Rebeccas's remark about not naming your child until you met them. Had both boy and girl names picked out as soon as I knew I was pregnant. Didn't hurt my double degree college son one bit.

Wish she would stop using the term "A" frame. This is simple worker's cottage. Doesn't she know what a A frame looks like. Once again, poor knowledge about the condition of the purchased property. Inspections are usually done before closings just to cover liabilities like this. Also, who needs to see a staged property after already signing the contract to buy. While I did like the antique fireplace mantle, didn't like the mirror that she added as an after thought and I thought that the kitchen cabinets were ugly. Would have ditch those in a moment.

This is a gimmick thing that some delis do. It's also much harder to cook them properly when they're that big. I've never been at a seder that did the giant-one-to-a-bowl thing. Hers were the size most people would make them at home. I've had larger than she made, but still probably 2-3 to a bowl. But also there's a major divide on the whole seltzer-in-the-batter thing, like the kind of debate that will never end. It was interesting to me she'd never heard of it but then used it when her mother told her about it, which says to me she grew up in a seltzered-matzoh ball family and didn't realize it. Anyway besides the seltzer trick, if they're smaller it's easier to be sure they end up fluffy all the way through and not hard in the middle. Although there are those who prefer them more dense, it still shouldn't be hard in the middle.
Thanks for the info. Not being Jewish, my only experience was having it at the delis.

Personally, I didn't like this kitchen transformation. Too many mixed elements for me.

Navigating that grocery store in 30 minutes was probably the toughest part of the challenge! There also seemed to be more people, perhaps because it was a tighter space, than usually are at WF during their shopping trips.
I have been surprised by people coming and visiting me when I was traveling/living abroad and totally thought the same thing as Eric! That person looks exactly like my boyfriend or my bff, my mind couldn’t process them initially in the new environment. Eric’s sister was adorable.
I am shocked that Sara didn’t know to use soda water to make matzo balls, it makes them so light and tender. Her dish looked sensational. I usually cook for my friends Passover do I might go with an Asian take on my matzo ball soup.
I used to work at an organization that was predominantly Chinese and located in Chinatown so we had a rule that you couldn’t open a durian at work. The smell does dissipate so people were allowed to bring it if it was in a dish. The smell doesn’t actually bother me to me it’s more like a gas leak/sulfur. I am going to dim sum this weekend so I will be sure to remember to order some durian puffs!
Thought that Sara's matzos were really small. When I have had this at Jewish delis, they are usually large and maybe one to a bowl.

It's really getting hard to watch this show. Couldn't even watch this latest episode straight through. Broke it up in two days. While I really like the locale; it's the brutal end result thats a killer. As I have stated earlier on this thread; run Donovan run.

The 1st home we bought in Chicago after we were married 40 years ago was 100 years old. We preserved all the original woodwork an(d doors. It is what added character to the house. I am always sick when she pulls all the woodwork off. How sad . These modern finishes do nothing for me.
I totally agree with you. Have lived in a 1700's, and two 1800's homes. Love the quirkiness of them (crooked doors, slanted floors, etc). If you want new, buy new.

Who was the guy with Burgess? I don't think I've ever seen before or I missed a few episodes.

They actually sold one.
I really not sure. Can't find any realestate transactions on this property besides the one when they purchased it for $560,000.

Well, she screwed up another house. Out went the beautiful window casings and doorway trims. That transom that she designed was hideous. Wasn't in proportion to the front door and a clash of design element. Another walk by a group of phony prospective buyers.

So Grissom is a good guy now? He did everything he could to ruin Boden and 51! These story lines come across as someone brand new writes an episode every week.
Thought the same thing. Use to be evil, now good.

S02.E17: Betrayal
in The Resident
Agree about Devon. Much too involved in decision making options.
