Hmmm,.... I wonder if Jeopardy would have given me credit for knowing Final Jeopardy, but forgetting her name. My answer was "Who is the wife of the guy who wrote Great Gatsby?" And shocked by the Pasha dislike. How did anyone see past Austin? I don't know that I'd take Ken Jennings over him, but I definitely prefer Arthur Chu!

Thank you for reading my mind! Between that and (not necessarily the Georgia couple) historic homes with master suites with closets and double vanities, I could scream. What these folks want are new homes and they can decorate with abandon from Restoration Hardware and Anthropologie.

I loved Mel Brooks! Don't know why he always had to walk when he was asking questions, but loved him nonetheless.

So, Claire could take a Marriage Vacation from which she did not return? And she and Pauline could run off together, opening up the Charles triangle again? Perhaps, I should type something so silly, as TPTB might be reading for ideas. (Have Jay call me!)

I normally applaud when the worst look (clearly Aaron last night) goes home. Normally, the judges send home the boring look (Claire) first. So disappointed that she wasn't gone. I've noticed from the beginning that she's carrying her twin. So, of course, all the previews are finally acknowledging that Clare (with hair) is carrying (Shorn) Shawn. Called it two weeks ago. And if they could leave, I could enjoy the talent. And what is comfy about a sheer skirt with 1950 gym shorts underneath it? Personally, I liked Kenya's but can't figure out why Michael didn''t win. He had the toughest fit and she looked amazing. Don't blame that model for picking that designer.

So many things that I hated. And this was the season finale? Pauline's interview with GMA. I don't watch much GMA, as I leave for work before it begins. I can't imagine any book interview going in such a boring manner would ever last that long. The idea is a hook, but she is just so boring. The hook shouldn't be 'they are back together' but rather what success / clarity Pauline gathered while on the vacation. And Charles could have said no to the interview, but as the book publisher could have been better prepared. The sudden trip to Ireland. Because of course Diana is going to just let her go on a 5 minute whim. And as Pauline's editor, shouldn't Liza have to be at the GMA interview? Josh begging Liza to come and then hanging with pals at the pub all the time. Meeting Claire's BFF at the rehearsal dinner. The wedding -- I'm a Catholic and very Irish. (My avatar looks just like me, minus the pupils in my eyes.) To say I have been to a few Irish Catholic weddings is an understatement. No priest will perform a wedding without premarital classes and interviews. Additionally, the Catholic church does very few outside weddings -- only on previously consecrated ground. I'm pretty sure the handfasting/ hand tying ceremony is a pagan tradition from Scotland (not Ireland and not involving a priest). All the sudden Liza love -- who doesn't want her at this point? She could have Josh, Jay (Jay, call me!) or Charles. Thank goodness Maggie is staying n the friend zone. Oh gee, Charles called during the wedding. Do ya'll want to know how often I don't answer my phone? All the time. I have voicemail. It's pretty new fangled, so maybe Liza hasn't gotten it yet. I was impressed that her phone worked in Ireland, though. Between the service fees and chargers, it can be a bear to get it to work. And finally, the real reason Irish step dancers traditionally don't move their upper bodies is because British forbade dancing during the occupations. So the sentries walking by the pubs would not associate the movements with dancing. Worst episode in a while; not enough Maggie or Diana.

Did anyone watch the Rochester chiropractor and realtor wife last night? He was trying a bit too hard to be zany, but I did actually like the house they bought. Over time, they'll upgrade as necessary. It was a pretty special location; not one that would come on the market with any great frequency (though I don't know Rochester) and it met their needs. Twice her budget though -- Egads!!! I also caught the Springfield, MA couple that wanted to get a big house so they could foster children. They seemed like genuinely good people. They also bought a house with good bones that they can update over time.

Ah, a new season and i'm already 1 for 2. I still don't think Willa Cather was a bad guess for the Georgia O'Keeffe question, as she was an author who wrote a book set in the area, but my Taylor Swift guess last night was questionable. I don't do awards shows.

Watched the most recent episode with Taye Diggs, some guy whose name sounded intriguingly like Miami Dolphin great Dan Marino, Jana Kramer, and a blonde lady with glasses from this week. Mama Doris was sporting a new look -- I loved her flowy robes and tops, as well as her pretty curls. Her new look is straightened bobbed hair and a cardigan over a floral top. She has lost her personality and looks like an African American Sophie Petrillo minus the little wicker bag. Bring back Mama Doris's flair!

This was one of those relationships where I liked him immensely and wanted to throttle her. And poor October! Was Wednesday too Addams Family? Or June to likely to make you think of Depends? Poor little girl. She can't even get a cute nickname out of that...

Jay, call me. I'm glad he is displaying emotional maturity and not being strung along. The only other character I enjoyed last night was Diana. She's a favorite, but when she grew her backbone and threw out Richard and his brat, I was thrilled.

Diana needs to kick out Richard and his couch surfer son. I love the idea of Jay -- he's being written to perfectly. Of course, Liza will simply use him and break his heart. I hate that. He deserves better.

What I came out here to say. Those were gorgeous and in nice shape. I was rooting for them to pick the arts and crafts as I was afraid for those floors. And there is nothing worse than cleaning grout.

If only she'd hooked up with Scott McGillvray from Income Property instead of David Bromstead, we'd see a graphic about renting out the basement for $150 a month would pay off the house in 8 years and 5 months (numbers fictional).

I watched Carla from Nebraska this weekend. I was in utter horror at the selections that David showed her -- the second one backed up to an interstate! While watching the mini renovation episodes this week, I saw 15 homes that cost more before renovations than most of the lottery homes. That said, Carla was smart. She had to pay federal taxes plus since she bought it in a different state both that state and Nebraska's taxes. A free and clear $110,000 home is better than over extending and going broke.

I had to fast forward through much of the team piece, as soon as Brunch Squad screaming Diva met up with Mama Stick To It. Did the servicemen and women get free meals? Anyone else yelling at their screen to never take time off? Sell, sell, sell.....

This one suffered from "I read the books" syndrome. Andie MacDowell is a gorgeous actress. Cameron Mathison is drool worthy. And I even liked Eat, Play, Love. Those stars together, in a slow moving romance about a children's book author and a minister in a small rural North Carolina town -- they didn't work. We needed an older, pudgier male lead -- Chris Noth or John Schneider come to mind. And a petite blonde (cough Barbara Niven/ Annie Potts cough) wouldn't be a bad option.

Saw that episode too @laredhead - The DC rowhouse transformation was stunning. I was actually surprised at how little she spent on her renovation comparatively -- that was a true gut and rebuild.

This is one of those episodes that reminds me it can be great to be single. He seemed like a nice, normal person -- probably didn't wan't to be on tv in the first place. She is probably angling for a design show on HGTV with her realtor bestie, who also moved from Texas.

So, do know definitely that the Stick lady is not Jason's sister, mother, or aunt? Because, Lord Honey, she sounds like she came from the same family or casting agency. And I truly need The Breakfast Club to leave as soon as humanly possible. Or the women could stay with a new male associate. Lord Honey, I want to slap him.

Richard did the right, but hard thing. And, as an attractive, successful lawyer in Manhattan, there will be a new lovely girl in his life in no time. I think this was Sutton's error. Kat screwed up and has repeatedly screwed up. Excited for new week's episode on layoffs....

I loved George the janitor walking in and picking up the tie. That was awesome. I also loved that Charles clearly knew his janitor, which is a nice not to heads of companies who make an effort to know all their employees. Of course, that was Charles's ex-wife. I guessed, incorrectly, that it was a former lost love that he would need to date for closure. She clearly knew Millennial was owned by Empirical and should have avoided them. I think she should have shopped it to Liza's age appropriate publishing pal. Kelsey, Lauren, and Josh's vacation was ridiculous.

Is a project for the husband a new part of the trinity?

How has Kat not been fired or relieved of her duties?

The state in which I reside allows you to win the lottery anonymously -- basically if I were to win, My Lottery Dream Home, would never be able to find me. And I applaud the sensible choices. I did hope the DC couple would buy the ranch near Mount Vernon because babies, stairs, and three stories of house can be a lot of gates (which they could afford), but still.
