  1. That woman was weird. How was she an astronaut? Was she with NASA or one of the private space travel outfits? Her attire was even creepier than her art. Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder.
  2. This is just a general comment about the show, which I have watched for years. When my husband and I were looking for houses the realtor drove us to each showing. I find it odd that realtors have seldom been shown driving House Hunters. Quite often it's the HH wife driving and I also find that unusual. My husband usually drove when we were going someplace unless he was ill and then I would drive. Are my experiences similar to yours?
  3. When I had a broken leg I used a transport chair and it fit fine through most of the doorways in my home, except for the bathroom and closet doors that are narrower than the rest. I would park the chair and use a walker to hop into the bathrooms. Totally agree about the banquette. I don't like them, but that one would have been more practical with a longer oval or rectangular table.
  4. They do go over budget, but the houses they start with are really tear downs. That said, they are kinda growing on me. 😆
  5. So true. Mina is one of the most unlikable people to ever host a show on HGTV. Karen always struck me as silly with no talent whatsoever. The guys were childlike showofffs. The entire cast reminded me of trailer trash hillbillies. JMHO.
  6. I watched it as well and really enjoyed it. Hope they do another season.
  7. I have Deluxe Vinyl Plank flooring in my kitchen. It looks like stone. I like the appearance, but when I mop or Swiffer it it gets streaks. I've used several different cleaning products and it always has streaks. My neighbor who has Luxury Vinyl Plank says they have the same problem. Personally, I'd rather have congoleum in my kitchen. 😆
  8. She really seemed to be "ready for her close-up" with those Daisy Duke short shorts. 🤣
  9. Interesting. While glancing through the photos I noticed dark boards hanging loose on the ceiling between the living area and kitchen in the third house. Asking price started out at $2.9 million, dropped to $2.5 and then $2.4.
  10. That bothers me as well. When perfectly good granite countertops are smashed I cringe. A friend's father saved granite countertops that were removed from a bank building that was being torn down and my friend used that granite for her bathroom countertops.
  11. This is very true. My husband's son dated a woman who was President of a nonprofit and her salary was close to $200K per year. She traveled all over the world (first class air and hotels, of course) to sign up foreign NGOs with her nonprofit's "service" (whatever it was). From what the son said, no organization ever bought into it and eventually the nonprofit ran out of funding, which was largely from the US Treasury, and the girlfriend was out of a job. It was pretty much a scam outfit.
  12. I really like Dr. Emma and her patients' cases are often more interesting than Dr. Lee's. Plus, Dr. Emma comes up with some unique treatments, like the bleach bath. I just have to fast forward through all the woe-is-me emotional stories on both programs. While I understand that the patients' skin conditions are very concerning to them, it's not like they have a fatal illness.
  13. I really don't understand the "value" of built-in bedroom furniture. Nor do I think it's necessary to provide children's toys and/or games. When I hear the words rock wall, I cringe. Think accident-waiting-to-happen, people! I liked the guys' bedroom with the store-bought bunk bed with the queen-size bed on bottom. It would be more practical if two couples, without children, were renting that house. Not everyone has kids and those who do probably bring along their own favorite toys to keep them entertained. The winners really deserved it! Creating two bedrooms was a good move and, despite all the drama queen's tears, the results were very nice.
  14. We live in Georgia, just across the Savannah River from South Carolina. So, of course, we have palmetto bugs, but the exterminator keeps them out. I get one inside every now and then, but they are barely alive. We also see deer, foxes, and coyotes. Just for fun we also see the occasional turtle. Snakes are quite common and people who live near the river see alligators. Being from Louisiana originally, I've seen it all. 🤣
  15. I admit that I teared up when Page told them she wasn't going to take the agreed upon 25%. I'm sure the money went a long way to Elmer's hospital bills and charges for continuing treatment.
  16. Whenever I see the words tiny house in the episode description I delete it immediately from the DVR.
  17. Did anyone watch it? Of course the first challenge was the kitchen and Bryan and Sarah Baumler were the judges. They are almost as annoying as Ty, Allison, and What's Her Name as "mentors" who add little. I thought the guys with the green cabinets should have won.
  18. I don't understand why Dr Lee is still greeting patients for an initial exam meeting under a tent in the parking lot. Plus, they are putting on masks outside. Weird. Is it a California thing? Maybe a state directive? Most medical offices here in Georgia no longer require masks inside.
  19. That "fireplace" is a chintzy disaster waiting to happen. She built it out of foam board and then finished it off with Venetian plaster. After the homeowners hang holiday swags and Christmas stockings on it there will be permanent holes left behind. At least if it were wood they could use Command hooks that leave no mark when removed. The reveal went by so fast that I couldn't figure out what was behind the room dividers (that looked like there was barely room to walk between them) in what was previously a dining room.
  20. I would like to hear the appraisers' opinions on what features really added value to the houses and how much value they actually added.
  21. Some of my neighbors have TVs above their fireplaces. Mine is on a TV table/chest designed to be at the proper height for watching when seated across the room.
  22. I always liked her short hairdo. It looks like she's letting it grow out and it's in an awkward stage.
  23. I have a cousin who had a bar in the basement with a fridge and popcorn machine. There was no need for a dishwasher because we used paper plates for food that was brought downstairs, bags for popcorn, and Red Solo Cups for beverages. All that was necessary was a big trash can. Of course it wasn't a multi-million dollar house, but we had fun. 🤣
  24. I tried to watch this show because I like Tarek and Izzy, but had to change the channel. Heather's voice is like nails on a chalkboard. My ears just couldn't handle listening to her screech and squawk.
  25. Don't flame me, but this season was so bad that I actually miss Madison and the gorgeous beach views in Malibu. 🤣
