40Love

It's all ego. She has such a high opinion of herself, that she can't even fathom anyone criticizing her. She needs that kind of confidence in the dog-eat-dog world of fashion. But, it wasn't working for her on this show. What's interesting is she came on the show to be judged... but can't take the judgment. Guess she just expected to win every challenge... every week. Glad she's gone.

I'm with you! Korto and Kayne were awful. Anna's dress was ugly. But, she followed the brief and that was to stand out and design what you do best. Korto's design did not stand out in any way. None of the safe looks did either. That's not Anna's fault. What exactly did they expect her to do... throw herself on the ground and say "no, judges send me home. I don't deserve your votes"? All the complainers are full of crap! But, Korto was the absolute worst. I'm not a fan of this version of her. When she's not whining, she's boasting about how great she is. Ugh! 🙄

Perfect description! I hated the whole Survivor/Big Brother vibe of the show. Everything was so arbitrary: "Oh, we're going to do something a little different..." Their shenanigans sometimes unfairly tilted the scale in favor of one team or the other . Ugh! The whole capo (sp?) idea was stupid to me. Just let them make their own dishes. It's a cooking show... but sure let's allow the weaker chefs to move forward with a little scheming and strategy., rather than skill Personally, I didn't care for either of Preston or Cory, but they shouldn't have been kicked off like they were. Natalie's win came out of the blue. But, I'm happy Saba didn't win. She came off as really unlikable.

I haven't noticed this trend in any recent viewings, but I may not have been paying close enough attention. Personally, it's not my style. But, maybe for the guys columns signify a "stately" looking home with prominence, stature; a home that makes a statement, especially when trying to establish generational wealth. It's not a running theme with my family and friends.

I wanted Clement to win! But, not too upset Luke won. I knew Christian was out of it when they said his cake was dry. I wonder what those cakes would have looked like if the tree and Eiffel Tower were on top, instead of engulfing the cake like Clement did... and just slapping something on the side like Luke did.

Yeah, I'm giving Stephany a little bit of the side-eye 👀 about her insistence on being near the bars. Got the feeling she might be on the prowl when Dominique is away at school. I'm curious if they're still together. Glad they picked the 1st apartment. It was the nicest place... even if it was a little far from the university.

I've heard more than one designer say hot tubs don't add value to a home. That may be why no one has added one. I thought Page and her partner would win. I liked the outside of her house the best. Liked Michel and Anthony's house... but that outdoor movie screen looked so low budget... so did the rock climbing wall. Bocce Ball and Parkour activities are bad ideas. Loved the chess board in the lawn.

She seemed underwelmed and felt like she was thinking about how she might be able to sue Rico down the road. Heh!

I'm shocked! I was sure the couple who built a hotel spa in the basement would win.

I thought she looked otherworldly and beautiful with the white hair and brown latte complexion. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder, huh? With that being said, I thought her personality was a bit grating.

Okay, thanks.

The condo would have been okay if it was on floor level. I don't blame grandma for not wanting to get dressed every morning and hauling her bad hip out to a dog park across the street... especially in the cold. Later for that. The house she picked is not perfect, but it's close to her grandbaby, so it's great! I loved how she re-assured the son-in-law she wouldn't be intrusive. Awww. I thought she was a sweetheart!

I think you may be misunderstanding the whole backward book thing. It's not something people are doing in their homes. It's something Home Improvement shows do when displaying their designs on TV. They turn the books around so the titles can't be read by the viewers at home. I personally believe it's to avoid the possibility of offending anyone, but don't know for sure. They just want to show books on the shelf as a staging style so the shelves are full. As for the episode, I'm happy Michel and Anthony won... although it's a big "no" for me on that urinal. Loved the ombre walls. I liked the bathroom fireplace from Page and her partner... also liked the large walk-in closet the hotel couple included. I wouldn't be able to fill it. But, it's nice. I hated Jon's green bedroom. Yuck! All the teams put in washers and dryers because that's what won the Twins the challenge last year. But 2 laundry rooms seems silly and wasteful to me. But, I'm not rich. So maybe I don't understand the struggle of having your w/d on only one floor. 🤔

Thank you... I thought the same thing. She was especially mean to the poor woman who was sent home. It was almost like she resented the woman for being on the show. But, it's not Manya's (sp?) fault she was cast on the show. The producer's had to know she was over her head in this competition. She did her best. I felt so sorry for her. She looked so sad when mean-ass Kardea was so harshly critiquing her. What happened to the empathetic Mother Earth persona Kardea's always trying to project? I know everyone has bad days. But, she seemed overly mean-spirited on that episode.

I was referring to the married couple who renovated the island resorts.
