So happy to have this show back! It's got a good vibe and it's nice to see the locals are into it. Love Alex getting to be playful as host rather than all stern and judgey. We don't get ad nauseum sob stories from the contestants. And the judges they pull in understand that this is fun while still getting some amazing dishes.

Even though I knew everything would turn out OK, I enjoyed the ep. Glad that annoying doctor was a bad guy. Ducky certainly has noticeably aged since I've last seen him. And I'm all aboard for Jight.

Puerto Morelos, Mexico. Is the realtor wearing a night shirt or is that a beach cover-up? I do like the lavender color. Their house in Utah looked huge. I'm no cook but the kitchen in #2 looked fine. Updated appliances with a gas range and plenty of counter space. Wow, the beach didn't win.

San Diego area. The poor son inherited his mother's ears. House 2 was not very impressive from the outside but the inside was stunning. If they choose #3, I will fall over. They will have to change everything. Might as well build a new one. Was it the pool? Hope they were acting when they didn't know what style it was. You live in California, they have to be everywhere.

I love Billy.

What BS Drea telling Jonathan he was never on her radar. Sure Drea, that's why you and Lindsey have been talking for the last 2 weeks about getting rid of him.

I'm disappointed Jodie stepped down thinking she'd be more of a hindrance than Coach. We all know there will be a puzzle involved and Colton will need her help with that. Neither Craig nor Coach are good at puzzles. If it was me out there, I'd be killing myself to prove I could compete with the boys. Craig, the fire is out. Geez you've been out there 10 days, you haven't learned how to make a fire? Where's that personal growth?

Bonn, Germany. Seeing Kevin is like a warm blanket. Why doesn't this lady's friend tell her her demands are unreasonable? It seems to me Kevin is finding her great places. The loft area was a bit of wasted space. Maybe if there was a staircase instead of a ladder to make easier access. She picked the one that made the most sense, financially. I guess no surprise she's studying what a balance sheet is.

Pittsburgh, PA. I loved the Tudor! The woodwork, the details. That woman obviously doesn't know what a barn looks like. The house she picked has a shape more like a barn.

There were several great putts tonight. I was worried that we'd get people who just wanted to be on tv. But we had several true athletes, two women conquered Hole #2! Would have liked to see the lady try it in heels. And 1 guy made Polecano look easy. Liked the winner dressing like Rob, from season 2 no less. Still really enjoying this show, but not as many laugh out loud moments from the guys.

Both brothers have put on weight. Drew certainly has the dad bod ready for when Linda gives birth. Anyone else wonder who or what was in the Commish's house that he needed a place to escape to? No wife or girlfriend was ever mentioned.

Gold Coast, Australia. Maxine gets to deal with a couple for once. He seems fine but she's a bit of an airhead. Thinks money comes out of thin air. I'm working from home so the hour and a half one way commute my husband might have to do doesn't bother me. Bitch. And I hate her top. Speaking of tops, Maxine's was really distracting.

Canada to Georgia. His hair, omg why? And there was nothing wrong with house #1. I don't think updates were needed. House #2, he didn't need to build a ramp, just skateboard down the driveway. I wasn't into #3 at all. She rubbed me the wrong way.

Is it me or is Craig the only one who works around camp? He's hacking up firewood while the other guys are just sitting around. It must have been very difficult for Jodie to cross those ladder bridges with a double ear infection. I'm sure her balance is out of whack. But I wish she had been the one to go up the tower to look at the clues. Craig seemed so scattered. And Colton with his young eyes don't need no stinking binoculars. This show is proving that football players are not stupid.

London. Was Richard on vacation? Toby has a good personality, he'll do. The couple has a certain charm. The basement apartment had a decent amount of natural light. Some colorful art would look great on those beige walls.

The Muppets don't add anything but so long as they stay at the commercial breaks, I can put up with it. Why does the Polecano zipline stop before reaching the pole? I liked the moon hole, people do have a chance to make it across. Jaime was quite good, I'm glad she won.

Paris. It's been a while since we've seen Adrian. Love her, "Get over it." Indeed. I'm wondering how old Jenny is. Oh, from what she said, 40s. Lola is so cute. Not sure why Adrian thinks she has to convince Jenny to live in a specific place. If Jenny wants to spend more to be further away from work in a quiet area with more space, let her. Nope going to sit side saddle on her toilet.

You can do it chessiegal, concentrate on how hot Jordan is!

California-not Bakersfield. They are buying this potentially million dollar house with land for grandkids that don't exist yet? Gee, no pressure on their son and his wife. DIL even looked away when Carrie mentioned grandkids. Maybe they should look in a different area since all the properties were hilly. Oh course the contractor bought a fixer. I liked Gary.

Lancaster, PA. They were a good couple, they could disagree without being disagreeable. I could deal with the green kitchen but that green was everywhere. And none of the places had yards so I guess it's good they had cats. Not sure I'd use her as an interior designer but I'd hire him if I had wealth to manage.

Some laundry detergent is missing out on a great sponsorship opportunity. How are their clothes not totally mud stained? Can't imagine how much pain the ladies are in.

My issue with Carolyn is if she can't use Hawaiian flavors, she gets stressed out. In order to be the champion, you need to get out of your comfort zone. Part of the cookie salad debacle was that she got figs. She said figs weren't found on Hawaii and she wasn't sure if she could work with them. Compare that to Romy who had never made a cupcake or drank a margarita. He just smiled and did his best. That is why I am Team Romy, he has a great attitude.

I really wanted to see what was in that upstairs loft area. And why didn't they do a bathroom? I guess I'm just nosey and want to see the whole place.

Oaxaca, Mexico. Getting tired of Mexico but will watch for Taniel. I missed some of their story, why is their budget so low? You want character and color, Taniel will give it to you! Even the place close to downtown didn't seem noisy or busy.

LA. That was interesting that a bank would loan you more money to buy a duplex. I would never want to buy in California. The prices you pay for such small space is ridiculous. But the pay for social workers must be pretty good.
