They really need to stop flashing things too fast on this show (the wedding invitation, the wanted poster) if they want me to understand major plot points.

KK does look fantastic, no matter whatever else my feelings about her are, so whatever age she chose, she looks amazing.
I'm sure I'd look pretty spectacular, too, if I had her money.

I'm watching the show, and I have to say that I can't believe (and yet I can) that some jagoff got on the show to pitch fucking ballcaps.

Because many far-right-leaning people really think they are closer to being a millionaire than what they are in reality, which is a few paychecks away from being destitute.

Yep, I got the hell out of the dorms after my freshman year so I could actually study and sleep without people screaming in the halls at 3 a.m. My GPA immediately went up. Granted, again, this was 30 years ago, but yes, college costs are more than just tuition. My scholarship and loans paid for tuition, books and housing, but I also worked to have money to actually live on.

Hello, fellow North Carolinian! I've all but given up on our state. I'm moving from Mecklenburg to western Cleveland County, and I know I'm going to a red county. I just can't afford to live in Charlotte-Meckenburg anymore. That's a whole other topic for another show (affordable housing).

I went to a state college in the mid 1990s, and it cost me $40,000. I didn't qualify for a Pell grant until my senior year because (back then, at least) financial aid doesn't allow a student to be considered independent from their parents financially until they've not been a tax deduction for TWO YEARS. What parent is not deducting their kid at 16? My parents didn't give me a dime for college, yet because of their modest incomes as a machinist and legal secretary, I qualified for zero grants.
My federal loans were recently forgiven because I'd paid for them for over 20 years on the income-contingent plan. The relief I felt was enormous. My balance never went down by any marked amount when I paid my loans.
It's simply insane that we have to pay so much for education.

Butcher block is actually not that expensive. It's currently $149 for a 4' x 8' slab at the big-box hardware store that is my workplace's client. I work on their ads.
I do agree about granite, though. It's not a necessity.
I'm a child-hating shrew, so I wasn't thrilled that the aerospace engineer and stay-at-home mother with FIVE KIDS got their materials donated to them. Like, I get they got scammed by their former contractor, but they have enough money for five kids and the mom to not work. They can afford their renovations.
I remain surprised yet not that there are this many scammy contractors just in the Denver area alone.

She said the accident happened 66 years ago. She doesn't look a day over 45 at most! What an incredible spirit she has. Her kids are GORGEOUS. I got teary for her at the end of the show. She got her family pictures.🥹
I have nothing good to say about that clown-lip person. I wish E! would stop giving these fame-seekers air time.
I'm happy for the woman who got her breasts fixed, but good god, lady, there is so much more to life than finding a boyfriend. You'd think a divorce after 25 years of marriage would make her think twice about dating, but apparently not.

A flip-flop is my cup-a-bug, but it's not so much a "cup-a-bug" as a "smash-a-bug".

I'm pulling for Anna because she's from my hometown and she isn't wearing ridiculous fake eyelashes.
Speaking of weird styling choices, what's the story behind Sabrina's hair?

Bananas make me nauseated, and I find them gross in general, so the thought of banana ketchup turned my stomach.

As much as I love my cats, I don't get why I should spend $150 on a thermometer and scale for them. I know one's a little chonky, but she runs around constantly when she's awake. For what it's worth, our vet has been taking their temperature in their ears for years. How is the vet's thermometer different from a baby thermometer?
There are vegan marshmallows on the market already. They are pricey and hard to find, but they exist. I'm a vegetarian, and marshmallows are one of few things I miss from my omnivore days.

I just looked it up, and a couple of sites say that the patients receive a show appearance fee that they can use toward the surgery costs.
I don't know who was creepier—the airhead chick (who gets "paid to exist"🙄) with the big breasts who wanted even bigger boobs or her much older "boyfriend".
I have nothing nice to say about nose job guy. What a dolt.
I got misty-eyed for the young woman who had the arm scars revision. She was so happy. I love when the docs transform someone's life in a surgery.

While real estate agents aren't appraisers, I remember from my training to take my state's real estate exam to get a license, we learned that real estate agents should be able to offer an estimate on fair market value, important in determining list price.
But I side-eye any values assigned on HGTV. They can make them anything they want.
And down to the hundredth of a percent? Shenanigans.

The measurement for winning made no sense. The real estate agents aren't appraisers, so how do they decide what value to assign the "improvements"?
Now that this is over, I won't miss the hillbillies getting mad and throwing something at least once an episode.

I'll sit over here at my table for one because I was so grossed out by that dog drooling so much that its owners needed a towel to mop it up. Granted, I'm a cat lady.
Mark said something about not understanding how healthcare investors weren't interested in the prosthetic hand since it would help people. I laughed and told my boyfriend, "That's because healthcare investors care only about money!" This is America, dammit!

Maybe teach your kids not to be entitled brats and you won't "need" a splash guard.

I'm sorry, but the perpetually losing team's husband is so unfortunate looking. He's the walking embodiment of Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel.
Also, that team's time management sucks.

I’m on board for Jodie Foster and she is making it worthwhile. I have a couple of nitpicks though:
* The scene with the geography teacher was just really stupid. They went all out with the ”Speak English, nerd!” cliché.
* I cannot believe that the corpses in the ice rink were not closed off, not even with screens or curtains. They are just sitting there on full display.
I don't remember what the teacher said, but I remember thinking that it wasn't very complex.
I also remember wondering why the windows at the rink weren't at least covered.

HGTV
Premieres January 22, 2024.
Set at 13,000 feet above sea level, "Battle on the Mountain" raises the stakes of competitive home renovation to new heights. Three skilled teams—coached by home experts Rico León of "Rico to the Rescue," Kim Myles of "Design Star: Next Gen" and Kim Wolfe of "Why the Heck Did I Buy This House?"—face off to upgrade similar mountainside homes in Breckenridge, Colorado. An all-star roster of HGTV stars judge the weekly challenges as each team works to add the most property value in hopes of clinching bragging rights and a $50,000 cash prize.

When Kim was disintegrating, my boyfriend cracked, "Those Kardashians don't age well."😂
Neither does this show, am I right?🥁
