Thank you for starting the topic, candall! Yeah, that Yappish (Yappesque? lol) centipede briefly shown looked TERRIFYING. Ugh.

Wasn't the murder victim's dad the actor who played SecNav in NCIS: Original Recipe way back when?

Oof, I did not realize it was a re-run of sorts. Always happens to me!

Episode with the cultural anthropologist in Yap, Micronesia = fascinating. I was not paying attention at the very beginning--were/was the couple accompanying him on his house hunt also anthropologists or similar? I think my favorite part was the local chief who had to give permission for them to look for a place in his village: "Yes, he can just look at all the houses and pick out one he likes." Or maybe that they were all conscientiously carrying around those baskets so they would never be empty-handed walking into a village. What does one carry around in those, I wonder? Chocolate? A book? Edit: I just remembered that Yap was on HH: Off the Grid, for which there is no forum I don't think? Not sure if this should be moved or not?

I liked the Valley -> city of Los Angeles couple last night. The husband was pretty snarky but not offensively so. Wife was not an entitled vocal-fryette. Also KITTEHS. LOLOL at "starter home budget" of $575K though. I guess that comes with the location...which I should know from watching Flip or Flop. Speaking of, the third house (the one by the freeway) totally looked like something I had seen on FoF previously. Either the flippers went to the El Moussa School of House Flipping or they use the same staging company. PS: however, what was up with bringing in the listing agent on the home in Reseda? Have we ever seen that before?

Nabeela! I remember we spoke about that episode at (relative) length in the main thread after it aired. Everyone wanted to be friends with her! I think we also expressed interest in seeing her on a follow up episode since she was going to do some renos.

This was my main takeaway as well.

I did, but not the whole thing (I had fallen asleep during the 9-10 AR repeat). It was quite interesting... I definitely missed some context during the beginning though--about the current residents or what not.

I agree that we have already had some hints about Tony's departure - this was an interesting way to continue that though. Especially with the re-appearance of Leah/Lara/Elizabeth--I knew we would see her again! Also had a moment during the Tim/Tony convo by the car after the latter was released from the clink-waiting-room. And, at Bishop's aircraft-carrier-name-submission of McGee's dad! *sniff*

Another AR fan here--I tried/failed to get tickets to NYC last year and am waiting to see if I won for Virginia Beach this year. I really don't have anything good to bring either but my parents do and have agreed to give me a couple of things to schlep and have appraised should I win in the ticket lottery. I am more excited to possibly meet some of my favorite appraisers--probably some of you all's as well! i.e. Kevin Zavian, Nicholas Lowry, ponytail book guy, hipster pop culture lady from Los Angeles, Keno bros etc etc etc. Anyway, the main reason I came online to post was to comment on the final appraisal of the evening in Tucson last night. The dear man with his Rolex will probably be in one of my top five appraisals for his genuinely stunned and lovely reaction! It may be online somewhere already (have not looked) but he had purchased two watches in Germany back when he was in the Army in the early 60s or something...for like $100 each which was a LOT of money for him back then. They valued it at something like $65-75K! He had saved all of the paperwork and documentation which really upped the $$.

I did not see the credits (and have not checked IMDB yet) but I am pretty sure Susan was Melora Walter(s??)--who was (IMO) superb in Boogie Nights and Magnolia. I think she was in Big Love too. The Senior story made me weepy as well. Did not care for the COTW.

Loved this episode--it had a season-finale feel to me. But I see it is not.... My allergies were really bad at the end. I feel like we will see the Taye Diggs character again, as well as his daughter. Ever since Sex, Lies, and Videotape it's hard for me to see Laura San Giacomo any other way but I guess I will need to get over it.

I also liked the Düsseldorf couple. Realistic, not overly demanding, interested in blending into the new country's culture and language etc. They were moving from Denver, where my sister lives--the traffic *is* horrible and has gotten worse.

OMG just now reading the posts upthread about the Broome, Australia woman!!! GAH, I totally thought the ep was absurd and now I know why! Good catch, magemaud. I did like the bungalow compound, but was having similar thoughts about chamber pots or what not. Also, it seemed like there should've been a bathroom and maybe even a bedroom in the main house but they never mentioned it. Also, I was duped by Jennifer's authentic reaction to leaving her little doggie behind in Illinois. She completely blubbered. I guess she is a good actress. Lastly, I was wondering, too, if she got the real estate job via her realtor (whose accent seeme

Also--I *lurved* the SecNav abode (what we saw of it). There should be a HGTV/NCIS crossover show! Ha ha!
