juliet73 February 5, 2019 Share February 5, 2019 TX ep: Buyers commented how quiet the neighborhood was at the 3rd house until they go out in the fenced in backyard that backs up to a very green forest. The husband complains how loud it is because he can hear the neighbor's air conditioner and the wife thinks the dog will be annoyed by all the "chirping bugs." In the 2nd house, the wife didn't know if she could get past the ONE red wall in the dining room! UGH! They both had the personality of wet noodles! Cincinnati: The husband seemed to complain about everything. And fyi, they do make baby gates for super wide entries. Also, the niche in the dining room of the 2nd house was probably for a buffet/china cabinet. 5 Link to comment

Of course, he bought the ‘showstopper ‘ house that was way over budget. He was all about trying to impress people. He said that he learned to compromise, but did he? Did his girlfriend get anything she wanted? And hadn’t he looked at almost 60 houses? He was obnoxious. Felt sorry for his agent. His girlfriend looked like Tiffany Trump. He was something. She seems like the more practical one of the couple, and he is someone who likes to spend a lot of money on the finer things and impressing others. I hope he has the salary and job security to back that up. They will enjoy that roof deck, though will struggle with storage and closet space. 1 Link to comment

laredhead February 6, 2019 Share February 6, 2019 I cannot believe that Newport News doesn't have any houses that would have accommodated that woman's mother better than the one they bought. Yes, there is a bedroom downstairs, but only a half bath so the mother still has to go up and down stairs to bathe. The townhouse was a definite no, and the only way out to the backyard would have been through the downstairs bedroom. I wasn't impressed with any of the choices. On the plus side, no mention from either one about needing granite, SS appliances, or the other usual "must haves". I'm glad the dogs got a yard, and the husband got a place to grill. 4 Link to comment

Pickles February 7, 2019 Share February 7, 2019 I liked the fact that the Rochester couple talked about how they had to postpone house buying until the paid off $100k in student loans. We never hear anything like this on House Hunters. Usually, it is just--my budget is $300k, but we ended up buying the $500k house and are doing $150k in renovations. How does that work?? At the end of the show, the wife's mother had the exact same curly pony tail hairstyle as the wife. LOL. 1 Link to comment
Ohwell February 7, 2019 Share February 7, 2019 Rochester couple seemed nice. It was obvious they'd take the house that was already furnished. The wife said she was a beauty and skin care consultant but I couldn't help noticing that she had bad skin under her makeup, probably from wearing too much makeup too often. Link to comment

Poor thing, she certainly had diamond rings in her eyes and I think he was in a completely different place! Was the Colorado episode that followed the Maine episode a rerun? What in the world caused that poor girls phobia of grout? Are you kidding me? Yes, in certain places (like on a countertop) I could see where you'd want to avoid it because of cleaning. But to expect a grout-free bathroom? They were an odd couple. I think he picked Miss Mousey so he could feel superior. Her constant over the top giggling at everything he said must have built up his ego. I finally had to turn it off and I didn't even care which place they picked. I wish she would've spent some time in the shower washing her gross greasy hair before appearing on t.v. She reminded me of a Duggar. Link to comment

mojito February 13, 2019 Share February 13, 2019 (edited) I rarely watch HH, but caught the Maine couple. I'm in the minority here. I thought they were funny, especially him. I liked his concern about the door bell and his referring to his daughter as being like family. I took everything they said as tongue-in-cheek (I admit that I'm one of those people who finds myself stunned by people who take outrageous things I say seriously). I'm always queasy when people paint over wood trim, but they're the ones living here. It's not quite like Allison Victoria who destroys trim and flips the house.

Mittengirl February 14, 2019 Share February 14, 2019 (edited) That third house was hideous, so I was sure that would be the one they bought. Miss Picky-pants had no taste, so i figured it would appeal to her. I hope they never get any pets, because that weird planter area under the stairs looked like a great pee spot. The first house looked like there was a spiral staircase from the kitchen area down to the garage. I can’t imagine trying to drag grocery bags up that every week.

laredhead February 14, 2019 Share February 14, 2019 I don't think anyone has commented on the McKinney, Texas couple from an episode earlier this week. One of the houses they saw looked like it had been been done by Joanna Gaines on speed. Barn doors everywhere, ship lap on so many walls I lost count, and that rustic look paint job in every room it seemed. If a realtor had shown me that house, my first question would have been "When will it be remodeled and finished?" That look is going to get old fast, but if you have a toddler that likes to draw on walls, you won't be able to see the damage. I'm glad they did not choose that house. Now I can't even remember which house they did buy. 1 Link to comment
