Actually enjoying Daryl and how he rapport with his team. But really don't like those silly games up front. Reminds me of Hell's Kitchen and I don't like it when they do those stupid games on that show.

Probably going to be in the minority but just watch Tammy singing Standby your Man on you tube and thought that she comes across as sounding shrill or twangy. Not a fan of her singing.

I grew up listening to Tammy Wynette because my parents loved her. I'm enjoying this series but I have one big issue: Jessica Chastain's voice isn't nearly as good as Tammy's. I almost wish she had lip synced. She just doesn't have the Tammy magic. So it strains credibility for me when people are supposedly in awe of her talent and she's really only average.
If you don't believe me, look up Tammy on YouTube. Listen to "Divorce" and "Stand By Your Man" and you'll hear the difference just in those songs.
Actually thought for not being a professional singer, Jessica did an admirable job singing. Tammy probably wouldn't have been as good an actress as Jessica.

Hope the Chicago couple have lawyers because I don't see the longevity happening in that relationship and the dividing up of that home assets.

Last night was somehow exactly the same, yet much worse. Just about every stereotype we've come to expect, and a full spatchcock segment in the first episode. The two "wacky" white guys were the worst.
I did enjoy the awards episode. Of course, Gina won for that.
There was some really bloody undercooked spatchedcock chicken on some of those plates, but no mention of it.

New, "A Mansion in Chicago". He wants a huge house, but she's more cautious. They're looking on the West side. Budget $250k to 275k her budget, his is $380k. k. Brian and Jessica, he's a stunt performer, and voice over artist, she's a social worker. She doesn't want grass, cement, clover, gravel, not grass There moving from a 2 bedroom apartment. He wants higher windows, so he can see out, but people can't peer in (egress windows don't allow that. LIke Jessica's co-worker says, what can you get in a nice neighborhood for $250k. She's obsessed with ripping out grass, and planting something for the pollenators.
House 1-7 bed 4 bath $386k, 3 parks close by, turnkey, great remodel. lovely kitchen, great 1st floor bath, main floor bedroom, and potential office, downstairs, back yard is too grassy for her, basement bathroom, and family room, primary bedroom is lovely with a spectacular ensuite, 2 more guest rooms, and another bath, realtor says house was on market for 60 days, and it's overpriced.
House 2-$325k, single family, built in 1885, it's in Austin, 3 bed 2.5 bath, high ceilings, living is nice, with beautiful kitchen, decent dining area, basement is old style Chicago basement, low ceilings and waterproofed walls, upstairs bedrooms, primary has a strange little closet, she wants to rip the carpet out. There's a bonus room in the former attic for a recording studio for him.
House 3-Humboldt Park, 3 bed 2 bath, raised ranch, and it's small, $314,900, a bonus room in the basement with 950 sq ft more, first floor bedroom is smaller, 3 bedrooms and 1 bath on first (main) floor, kitchen is remodeled, backyard is all concrete, back/alley entry from alley, with a door into the back court yard, no egress windows in basement, 2nd full bath in the basement.
They bought #2, gives her a first floor office, and his studio is upstairs in a tiny room, $325k list is what they paid. I hate the basement, it looks like a previous water problem, and that's probably going to come back. I would have bought 1 for the space, and remodel.
After having lived in Chicago for 10 years; totally surprised how much house you can get in the Austin area for that low of a price. Not impressed with the Humboldt Park area place though.

The Baltimore row houses were originally intended as homes for poor people as are similar style homes in places like Pittsburg. They are the equivalent of tenement apartments in New York City or council type of homes in London.
The areas became gentrified and so homes have been remodeled in an attempt to make them more in line with trends of first time home buyers. Hence the ridiculous open kitchen layout in the Baltimore home which made very little functional space. A galley kitchen is fine but that galley kitchen seemed to have an "aisle" that was narrower than even most small urban galley kitchens.
I think a lot of the market are people who are starting out who want to live in a close In neighborhood - the same market that buys studio apartments in New York City.
My friends bought such a modest home in Adams Morgan (DC) as their first home and then moved to a regular size home in the DC suburbs when their baby became a toddler.
Actually those row houses were mostly occupied by working class and also ethnic families. Now they are being rehabbed and bought by your professionals who want to live in the city. That style is very common when those houses were being built in Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia, Annapolis, etc. That is how in town living was then in colonial america when they were built.

Don't the Louisville house hunters realize that the basements aren't used for living space because of the flood potential, and high water table in a lot of places? Andrew and Mandi, and the kid's name is Dais is 13, but they've only known each other for 12 years, and dating for 6. Budget is $200k to $250. In the second house, she wants to paint a room "Celestrial Blue" Celestial.
How do a line cook, and a paralegal buy a home for $200k to $250k with renos?
Second home is huge, $199k 4 bed 3 bath, but no parking except on gravel out front. Not charming enough for Miss Picky. Back yard is tiny, and very close to the neighbors.
Third house is hysterical, a mid-century style, where they can't figure out the open concept living, dining and kitchen arrangement. And the back yard is fenced, but has some kinds of huge drainage ditch behind the fence. $225k, basement and bath in the basement are finished, but no egress windows. Kitchen is pretty small. I'm wondering if the new basement carpet and paint is to cover up a water issue?
They bought # 1. It did have the best kitchen. $189900, list and that's what they paid, but that basement is not good for living space.
Both the realtor and the female home buyer were sporting a lot of tats. Must have been a fire sale some where on defacing your body.

Corpus to Maryland was interesting. The third house totally fooled me when they showed the trampoline, and a lot of what the family wanted, at a good price. However, I figured the second house was a decoy, when they made such a show of 'it comes furnished'. Most of the big builders where I've lived don't sell the models furnished, when they are ready to sell the model, they move the furnishing to the next house. I love how all of the house hunters give their demand list, and don't realize that a lot of subdivisions don't allow fences, or trampolines, or other items they want to cram the tiny yards with.
Good luck with that commute to Bethesda. Going to be a lot of traffic. Knew that their price was unrealistic for the Bethesda area. "Ain't" going to happen. If she used the word "wow" one more time in her descriptions.

The ones who crack me up are when they walk into a kitchen, and say - Is this the kitchen?
If you don't know what a room is to be used, maybe you shouldn't be out house hunting. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the use of a room. Also, can't understand letting an agent pick out the houses to view. Have never done that. I always tell them which houses I want to see, not the other way around. Only exception is if it's a pocket listing that hasn't been put on the mls site yet.

Well, I do. :P OK, maybe it's more about liking Billy Burke and the unreal chemistry he has with Diane Farr than any actual love of the character.
It is a thorny situation. Burke is a main cast member, so at the very least his character has to remain someone we want to see every week. How unlikeable can Vince get before the audience says "I hate him too much, get him off my screen!" Is Vince interesting enough as a character (like Oswald on Gotham) that even if we dislike him, we still care about his stories?
I think that both he and Sharon are scruffy looking.

I found it interesting that Riley the perfect Angel was so distraught over a short secret relationship that ended, she attempted to jump out of a moving car. What state of mind do you have to be to say I'm going back to talk to this jerk that is ignoring my texts and calls, but jumps out of a moving vehicle.
I agree. Thought that she was mixed up mentally or on drugs or both.

Vancouver husband who thought himself to be so cool, actually came across as a total jerk to me. Hope all his male friends enjoyed the fact that he let his wife do all that renovation work by herself to save them money..

It was explained in episode 2 that Bode changed his last name after Riley died.
Thank you. Must have missed that.

I hate the way Vince was and is to Bodie. If my husband hated my son I would not be with him. I also noticed the lack of urgency and I would ask if there are any rescue workers not in the middle of a crisis If I were the parents. Vince’s brother making a pass at Sharon seemed to come out of nowhere.
Is Vince really Bode's natural father? Sharon said something in this episode that he has a different last name than her's, which leads me to the conclusion that he isn't. Also she always refers to Bodie as her son and the fact the Vince really seems to hate him.

While I really like Michael Shannon; thought that the real George Jones had blonde hair not dark hair.

That looked to be a pretty pricy subdivision - I mean - it's a fly in community, which is heavily desired by people who can afford to do so. I'm also not sure when this was filmed but home values have been out of control until recently almost everywhere...coupled with people who lost their homes due to hurricanes - it would be hard to estimate how much they would or not make on this home.
Just saw that some houses on their same street are on the market for $5,000,000 and up. So evidently, there is a viable market for very expensive homes in that area.

Interesting you say it's a throwback and yet contemporary lol.
I call that look Danish Modern which is something that I grew up in the very early 1960's. Remember a relative having a kidney shaped coffee table and freeform sunburst clock back then which was all the rage.

I didn't care for the finished decorating job that Sarah did on the Florida home. Thought it was cold and not very inviting. Not a fan of the very contemporary look. Thought it was a throw back to the very early 1960's.

Or when they think that a Craftsman is choosing a contemporary style home.
They obviously have not the slightest whiff of architectural history knowledge and how Craftsman/Arts & Crafts was a late nineteenth century/early 20th Century distinctive design movement in reaction to both Victorian excess and industrial machine age mass production.
Same thing with the Georgia episode. She called that first home a "french provincial" which was anything but a "french provincial" and another person who clobbers the pronunciation of the word bedroom. It doesn't have a "t" in it.

Watched 2 episodes, and I liked both couples! Shocker.
The first were from Florida buying a vacation home in the mountains. All those stairs to the river? Those will get old quick and be a downside if they try to sell let alone rent it. And that 2nd house sleeps 20? In 4 bedrooms. Like you want bodies everywhere and bunk beds shoved in every corner of the common areas and your renters paying $15 per person per night.
Second couple from West Virginia were young even for being young. I hope the high school rivalry was played up for the “drama.” He had a plum job working for the state treasurer and she was a teacher, so I presume they’re college educated: Get past high school. The painted paneling? Shudder. His repeated fantasies of The Guys coming over to hang out or watch the big game, though…she didn’t seem so warm to the idea.
Florida couple were there to pimp that place for rental purposes. Ten hour drive from their home in Florida and the fact that they needed to rent it to afford it tells me a lot. What happens when you can't get it rented, bank repossesses it?

I'm gonna give Dad the benefit of the doubt and assume that there was more than one take in this scene and the eggs kept on cooking.
I can't imagine paying so much a month in HOA/condo/maintenance fees. Of course, the longer you have owned your own home, the more these fees sound more like much of your mortgage payment, if you still have one.
I liked that this lady was so passionate about surfing and it was surfing that drove her house hunt, not getting a place for Fluffy/Fido or a boyfriend with whom she was taking her relationship to the "next level" or space for all her clothes. Just surfing. For now.
It was the constant chopping those eggs into tiny fragments that drove me crazy. Doesn't he know that scrambled eggs are suppose to have nice large curds. Have seen cooks at buffets in hotels do the same chopping up of the scrambled eggs.
