Waterfront in Farmington, CT? Must be talking about the river since Farmington is in the middle of the state. It is a pricey area and some of the towns around it are even more ridiculous. I'll have see if I can find the episode. Rarely are they in CT.

This was a great foursome, I'd have been happy with any winning. Surprised they had Naiel on since he did win season 11. He's such a cutie, I didn't mind. He must have to beat the girls off with a stick. So we weren't supposed to know that other judge? She wasn't a past kid all grown up?

Ralph is an interesting choice as a judge. I've always liked him on Cake Boss, he is incredibly talented. The hair situation is unfortunate but no one is perfect. The carvers are interesting. I recognize James from Halloween Wars. This could be a good season. The right person went home.

The team with 3 women who lost the small scare really turned things around in the final piece. But I thought their creature blended in with their background. If the flesh had been green, she would have stood out more and tied back to Frankenstein.

That was interesting to see Ken mess up who got to pick first.

I think it was a taxi.

Is a whale the same as a shark? LMAO! Someone doesn't watch Discovery/Animal Planet.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Space vs price, this could be a real dispute. Although at such a young age, I think the girls would adjust to sharing a room. These buildings seem to have pools but nothing is being said about amenities.

Are all these people hanging out together the night before taping? First Brooke had a "feeling" that Waxman would be a judge. Then Michael complained that Mei Lin didn't save him for last so he could get some rest. Then Brooke thought Stephanie was going to be a contestant. And Stephanie commented on that. It's getting a little fishy.

Bigger displays, tasting elements, pumpkins, Froggie in the second hour. This is what we've been wanting.

I told the contestant's scarecrow joke at work and it got a big laugh.

LA, CA. I've always liked Jillian Barberie. Glad to hear she's healthy. Really enjoyed her relationship with her kids. That fixer upper would have been a mistake. When they were showing the 3 bedroom, I kept saying you could do something with the garage. I guess she heard me 😄

Atlanta, GA. The dreamy episode David is hosting. I wanted to stab something every time they said "cute" or "super cute". Just shut up and make a decision.

The judge must have attended the Giada school of how to dress. How do you expect to be taken seriously with your boobs hanging out? Jose made it clear he had never heard of her.

Ojochal, Costa Rica. They must have a lot of rental units in AZ for that type of budget. The prices surprised me. And that was not the house I thought they'd pick.

Hudson Valley, NY. I cannot imagine having to sit on a train for 2 hours to go to work. And then another 2 hours home. What a long day. I loved #1 and #3. #2 had interesting furniture choices. The blue velvet in the main bedroom and tiger print on the other beds. Happy with their choice.

That was some battle with Jose Garces. If I hear that judge was found dead in an alley, I will not be surprised.

From the photo, I said Elizabeth Hurley. But didn't think she fit the clue.

How does John get his voice to be creepy but soothing at the same time? Stephanie looked great at the first challenge. When the judges appeared in their costumes, I was wondering how any of them were going to be able to eat. I wish they'd show more of what the judges say after the contestants leave. None of the desserts wowed me. The person going home was obvious. No one annoys me so this could be a good season.

This is the first weekend of the new NFL season. Perhaps this is HGTV's way of celebrating. I liked all the football players. None of them came off as a dumb jock. The baseball player was OK but his wife was insufferable.

I am probably alone in this, but I adore Scott Conant. Was so happy to see him beat the Titans. Michael served very small portions. Don't go to his restaurants if you're hungry. After the first round, when Waxman said he couldn't taste the eggs in Scott's gnocchi, the titans didn't learn. That's what cost them rounds 2 and 3. Did Scott try Tiffany's dish? Very gallant of him to say she should have won.

Their children are going to have the deepest dimples.

I was happy they were given a card with info on their ingredient.

I can imagine being bored out of my mind in the hab and actually reading the manual. It would be like reading the cereal box.

It's a miracle, nothing was painted black. That house will be back on Ugliest Houses in 5 years. With every design choice, I kept thinking aren't you trying to update this place? Some of the contenders were easy to eliminate. And you have to wonder what people were thinking when they purchased. I did feel sorry for Jennifer who was scared to be in her house. The bonus clip said she didn't tour all of it before buying. I hope she gets out of there.
