I can't wait for the new season, and hope there are some excessive homes this time. It's nice that people are conservative spending, and buy sensible homes, but I still want to see my house porn too.
Was David the young man who bought a house so he could have roommates, at least for now? At least he bought a decent sized place. My guess is that he'll use his skills to fix up the necessary issues, and then rent the entire place out, and move on to the next. I don't know if he took the cash payout, or the annuity, but if he took the annuity he won't have enough to buy anything in that area outright, just a decent down payment, and have money to start improving it.

I totally hated the way Sam's son refused to believe his father was ever going to care. And the times where Sam would come home, and the kid had invited his father in after he kept lying about just coming to see his son was sad.

The one Carter-Lucy interaction that irritated me was when he was so rude about her taking Ritalin. She didn't need his approval, just her doctor's.

It's ridiculous that someone with his prior convictions, and that amount of pot only was sentenced to 22 months. Guess someone ratted out his friends, and that might be a fatal mistake.

Exactly right. With this case, or the Kitty Genovese case, and others where people did nothing to get help for someone in trouble, I don't know how they live with themselves.
I know this is off the main topic, but years ago my family rented our house out, and then came back to a neighborhood uproar. The snotty woman across the street was near the window one afternoon when a neighbor behind her was mowing. All of a sudden there was the loud noise the mowers make when they hit something. The man had hit his foot, and triggered a heart attack. The neighbor admitted she heard the noise, but didn't even look out the window to see if things were OK, and the man died after the heart attack. The strange thing was that woman was always peering out her windows, and you couldn't do anything without her talking about it, so no one believe she didn't notice what happened, and she just didn't care enough about other people to make a phone call for help. She actually seemed to think that she did the right thing. Within a couple of years they moved out of the neighborhood, and everyone was glad to see them leave.
She always reminded me of the interviews I saw with the Genovese attack witnesses, who all thought there was nothing wrong with seeing someone being brutally attacked, and killed, and do nothing.
The so-called witnesses in Catalina that night remind me of those people too. I think Catalina has always been a big party place, and I've heard that wild parties on the boats are quite normal, but you would think someone calling for help would at least get a response.
As far as I'm concerned, there is nothing Lana Wood or anyone who wasn't near Catalina can add to what happened. I'm not sure that the sisters were that close anyway.

I know that a lot of the story line is total fiction, but I think she really did want a house like the one she would have had back east. They should have stayed on the east coast.
I loved her couponing room being the bedroom floor, and I sincerely hoped a scorpion would run across the coupons. That woman has zero comprehension of what it's like to live in the desert. They won't even be able to rototill the back for a garden, and the garden would burn up before anything ever actually ripens anyway. There's a reason that most yards there are artificial turf, just like the model home back yard was. I can't imagine how much fertilizer, and decent soil a garden there would require, and I'm guessing it was another fiction just for the show. And I doubt her husband will be outside using his big grill for at least the summer months, which is usually about six months of the year in Phoenix. There's a reason people put outdoor kitchens under an insulated patio cover, and with misters in Phoenix.
What are they going to do with the tons of stuff she would buy if she's really into hardcore couponing? Unless she donates a lot, she's going to end up with tons of stuff that will either expire, or never be used, piled everywhere. It's one thing if she does really well with the coupons, and donates to a food pantry or something like that, but endless piles of stuff that will probably never be used is just a waste.
My prediction is that within a couple of years they will be running back east, and they better hope their house price doesn't tank when they need to sell it. There have been serious drops in the Phoenix market in the past few years, and with their luck there will be another one when they need to sell. The market there usually has a rebound, but I think they bought at the height of the market, so they better hope the market stays strong.
I think a lot of hoarders get started with couponing.

It very well could have been a red herring, but by the realtors to make the story more interesting, because I'm sure they already owned the property. The HHI episodes have been said to do all types of interesting timeline alterations, so I'm sure it was all for publicity.
The second one was much nicer, and I imagine the relatives would have survived living in some resort hotel for their stay.
I have the distinct suspicion that the entire Ecuador HHI was a big advertisement for moving to Ecuador, and staying to spend your money. I'm guessing that the buyers got a super deal on the house and the land, and a really cheap deal on that pool. Wonder how they'll feel when the tsunami comes to visit?

I think it keeps coming up because certain people keep making charges that they couldn't prove then, and never will, but it's to get their faces on TV again, and revive their defunct careers. My guess is that if Wagner gave the people who come forward, and keep making allegations a few million, then all of the 'new evidence' would never be heard of again, and their outrage would be gone, but I'm positive he won't do that. When there have been two police investigations that proved nothing, but three people got drunk and had a loud argument, and then one went to bed early, and later ended up in the water, what do they think they're going to prove now?
And the mysterious people who keep saying they heard someone calling for help all of those years ago, and couldn't even call the police for help? They are despicable. One phone call might have saved someone's life, and they didn't make the effort.

As out there as he seemed, I wouldn't be surprised if he told the hairdresser to cut it really short, and then he could come on the show for the publicity. I bet he emailed the show to apply, and you can do that on their website.

RVers to Ecuador-I guess they think they're getting a million dollar place for peanuts. And the shocking raising of the price they can pay, plus building a pool. Why do they need a pool when the ocean is right there? And I guess the talk about tsunamis since was just for the show, since they bought right on the beach.

I can't believe this fame whore is exploiting Natalie Wood's death.
The poor woman died in 1981 I think, and they're dragging up the same old information again. If that's the captain of the boat they were on, he's been interviewed a ton of times over the years, and nothing changes. I guess Dr. P. thinks someone will call in, and confess.

I love Desert Flippers too, and I've started recording it, and then watching that when Flip or Flop is on. I love that there is such a variety of houses in Palm Springs, and they use different styles that fit the house.
I can't stomach T & C and their bad acting.
Another one I can't stand to watch was (if I have the name correct) was Vintage Flip, that was the L.A. area one with friends of T & C, and they bragged how they did vintage restorations, but I saw very little original in any of the houses, and open concept does not equal vintage.

2 minutes ago, WhoaWhoKnew said:
Haircut lawyer's hallterview was so odd. He wanted to be tried by a jury of his peers? Like this is real court? And this was some kind of a politically motivated cosmetological hate crime?
WHAT
Politically motivated cosmetological hate crime--I love that, and I'm sure it will be added to the hate crime laws soon.

If anyone hasn't had a Slim Jim, you can find them on every checkout aisle at any Walmart. For beginners, get the mild one, since spicy might be a little much for a beginner. The salt content is a bit much too, and those on salt restricted diets should only have a bite, or risk bloating up like a swollen toad (if you don't know how bad that is, believe me it's bad). And I think they might have some that have jalapeno in them, so you might want to avoid those too unless you want to risk your ears melting off.
Thinking back, I do believe that when we heard about the headless snowmobile trespasser, and his fatal accident several of us said it was cleaning up the gene pool, because he was empty headed before he ran into the wire. I don't know if they had the Darwin Awards then or not, but he wasn't even a decent nominee. Bozo the snowmobiler was telling his friends when to watch him on his Facebook. I guess some people want to make sure everyone on the planet knows they're total idiots. I hope every single vacation rental landlord in the Great Lakes region noted this man's behavior, and name, and the name of his stupid friends.

The snowmobile fool is lucky he's still in one piece. If that roof hadn't been very strong, he could have crashed right through, or the front skis could have crashed through and he would have been catapaulted ahead, or the snowmobile could have landed on him. There could easily have been wires over the roof too.
Years ago, some people we knew had a farm out in Pennsylvania, and one snowy night someone came pounding on their door. A group had been snowmobiling (and trespassing on posted farm land), and one adventurous rider went full bore across the field, and found out there was fence over a hidden depression, and the rider lost his head.
If I got a haircut that much shorter than what I wanted I seriously would have demanded a refund, but I would never allow that person near my head with sharp objects again. I really doubt that he only wanted a tiny bit off either, I bet he said buzz cut so he could sue, and get on T.V.

Snowmobile idiot-What an idiot, it wasn't running up, it was the concussion on the roof, which is many times the 350 lbs of the snowmobile, plus his drunken a$$. I love his "I have a lot of practice with drinking" and three brain cells left. That must be some well built house, because with most houses snomobile loon would have crashed right through the roof. I loved the fact that the defendant brought the video. Someone needs to find out what the factory he works at produces, because it's scary to think someone's life might rely on whatever he's working on. I'm not sure they were cheese balls, I think in this case it was more like strap on beer kegs.
$10 haircut-I hope haircut man-baby doesn't have actual clients, because they're in trouble if that's how he thinks.
Repo sale-Sold a car that was about to be repo'd, and then repo'd it herself ? Neat trick, but repo guys can find anything, and now they know where it is. The plaintiff's statement that she only bought through dealers, so she doesn't know how to register one herself is ridiculous. So defendant sold a car that was owning back payments, then repo'd it herself, and now moved it to Georgia to daddy's driveway. And she's now trying to sell it again to another sucker? What a couple of scammers the defendant and plaintiff are.
Nobody wants little Miss Destiny in their house for long do they, if they have a choice? I don't think mom has the weapons, because if she did he and her daughter would be riddled with bullets, and buried out behind the shed. I'm sure mom is a piece of work, but those two 'lovebirds' certainly are jerks. I'm sure love muffin's dad was thrilled to see the two of them show up at his place. What is that daughter weaving back and forth for? She's making me dizzy. So mom is a convicted felon? Usually being in the same house with weapons is an instant conviction, so how did she get away with this?
What a bunch of scammers they are. And he claimed the mother's two other kids as his dependents. I'm glad the IRS nailed him for that, and I he's going to get audited every year for the rest of his life, and mom will be lucky if the IRS doesn't get her too after this.
Scammers like this might remember that the federal government tried for years to get Al Capone, but the IRS is the one that sent him to prison for the rest of his life.
So three out of the four cases today were scammers?

I'm just glad they showed that there is someone teaching the jump split, and tips for the kick line. The jump splits went so well for their first time.
I love the uniform fittings.

With Michael Kors long gone, and now Heidi and Tim leaving for the Amazon show, then this is officially off my viewing list. I wonder if they'll use the people that they have on All Stars, because if they do then I'm really never even going to try watching.

I think Patsy saw her daughter was missing, and wrote the note so the police (who were well known even then for being useless) would call the FBI for the kidnapping. Patsy never seemed all that smart or practical, so I can see her thinking that was a good idea. Of course, it makes no sense to us, but Patsy was a flake, and I think she thought she was clever.
I always wondered about John Ramsey claiming he broke the window to get in, because there must have been an easier way to get in. And I bet if he had done that to get into the house, then he would have told the housekeeper to get it fixed. SInce they left the doors open so often, I bet he could have found a way in, or a ground level window that was easier to break and get in the house than crawling in the grated window well, breaking the window, and crawling into the basement. That story of his never made sense to me.
It wasn't the coldest December, all of the snow was melting, and spiders can rebuild webs fairly fast.
The killer could also have just gone to another part of the house, and left before the police were called, since the Ramseys seemed to never use the alarms. I think the killing happened because the kidnapper was trying to keep her quiet, and then either suffocated her trying to quiet her, or did intend to molest her but she struggled, and hit her head, and he strangled her. I wonder if the intruder had been in the house before, and was someone in their huge circle of friends who knew they would be out that night, miscalculated the timing, and was trapped in the house at first.
The saddest thing is that I doubt we will ever find out who killed that little girl and why, unless someone knows and tells when the killer dies.

The shiny blue tiles in the other shower were just as bad. Both bathroom floors would have been deal breakers for me, but I could never live in that expensive area anyway.

I didn't like the Joi Abbot character either. Some of the parents seemed to think it was all about them, and that they should keep their suffering child alive with any means they could, but ignore the fact that the kid was in terrible pain, and wasn't getting any better. The foster mother (Patty McCormick, the grown up Bad Seed star) that Romano opposed her foster child getting a procedure was all kinds of wrong, just because she couldn't let go.
Mark's lifestyle might have also been very restricted because he talked about leaving County for better paying jobs, probably closer to his daughter, so buying would have been a mistake for him. If his loans, and Jen's school bills were being paid off, plus their regular living expenses, then he might have had very little extra money. The real explanation is probably that the producers didn't want to get another set, so they could just use the apartment for years since two different characters lived there.

If John was involved in the cover up to protect Burke, or some accident around the house (those spiral stairs looked dangerous to me), then it would have been Patsy who wrote the note. John is way too smart to write that overwrought multipage garbage. And I'm sure John knew Patsy was not going to survive her cancer, and would never do anything to keep her away from Burke, so whatever she did (my suspicion is the ransom note to get the police to look for her daughter quicker, and with a lot more people than just a wandering child) would never be admitted to protect her.
I was shocked at the foolish woman that John Ramsey married after Patsy died. She grossed me out when she said she saw Patsy's picture on a tabloid, and knew the press and police were railroading an innocent woman. I guess that was enough for him to think she was the perfect third wife.
Patsy was always flighty enough to think a multipage ransom note would get attention from the police, and blame everything on a kidnapper. Or Patsy could have noticed Jon Benet was missing, and thought that the police would waste time before looking for her, so she wrote the note.
Also, that house had several owners before the Ramsays, and had to have a ton of workers in it over the years. I really think what Lou Smith (the retired detective who investigated later) said was right. Someone either came into the house through the open doors, or came in with the hoards of guests that roamed freely for several nights before Christmas, and came to burglarize the place. I bet he had scoped out the house several times, and could have been a worker of some kind, or friends with a staff member from any time over the years. Then he either was trapped upstairs when the family came home, or was hiding out, and grabbing Jon Benet was a chance encounter, and he killed her to keep her quiet. The marks next to the window, and the suitcase that was right by the window to help him get out the window convinced me. My guess is that rich people like that have their sidewalks cleared very quickly, they were also having open houses so they would have cleared the sidewalks for that at least, and there wouldn't have been any footprints, because the killer came and left on cleared sidewalks. That grate over the window well isn't that hard to move, and would be a quick way out for someone who couldn't leave through the kitchen because Burke was roaming around.
Did they actually exhume John's older daughter who died in an accident? I hope that didn't happen.
I move to Colorado right after the murder happened, and everyone I knew who had ever dealt with the Boulder police, or any of the other government there said they were awful, and I think this case demonstrated it.

Even worse, I wonder if the hotel room fool was using her own debit card, or if it was someone else's and that's why the I.D. requirement didn't work either.
I can't wait for the snowmobile over the house case, just to see the reactions from Judge Judy and Byrd. And I love "There was no sign saying don't go over the house".
I'm guessing that idiot stop sign witness was related to the idiot plaintiff, because no one else would be able to stand either one of them but relatives.

The NJ people who wanted an income unit were all kinds of loony. They bought the second house with the attic apartment, right? I'm betting they will never redo the apartment, because it didn't look like they had an emergency egress staircase. As we hear all of the time on HH, every bedroom needs to have two routes of egress, and I didn't see any other outside doors that might have lead to another staircase inside, or to an emergency stairs out back. I bet the apartment wasn't legal, and I'm wondering if the local building codes enforcement people were watching? I hope they were, because that apartment could be a death trap if they have a fire.
I hate the house hunters in the new episode, and it's barely started. She wants a colonial or Victorian, or other east coast style in Phoenix? She's out of her mind. She's not the first house hunter that hated Spanish style houses in Phoenix, but she may be in the running for most irritating. And she needs a room for her couponing? I love how she keeps saying places 'aren't her style', I guess her style would be a warehouse to store her stuff. I wonder if anyone mentioned scorpions to her? Maybe a scorpion will make an appearance and I can watch her screaming and running back to where ever she moved from.
I had to laugh when I heard the amenities for the town house, and I don't think they realize that playing basketball in an uncovered court for about six months of the year will not be pleasant. It looks like they were shopping in the cooler months, so summer might be one heck of a big shock. Also, the AC bill in summer for those two story house and town house could be hideous.
I knew she was going to get the new build, and add a ton of upgrades, and I'm betting they lied about the price they actually paid, or else exaggerated the price of the model. Of course, maybe the builders give them a super deal in return for the publicity of being on "House Hunters, coupon edition"
I wonder if they think that supplementing the soil, and the huge water bill for their proposed garden in the back yard will save them a penny. I bet it won't, and I'm sure she'll plant things that will die in the heat.

The biggest issues in the dog park case was that the loony defendant thought it was good to take his vicious dog to the park even after this, but also that other dog owners thought playing frisbee or throwing a ball into a group of dogs was going to end well.
