Ms. TV August 21, 2020 Share August 21, 2020 First time contributor to this Forum… Before I even saw the other comments about this particular show, this was the first time that I was really compelled to write in. I didn’t get the sense of these two even knowing each other, much less having been married for any length of time. Zero affection shown and they seemed entirely insincere. Completely showed their true colors when they settled on a house that’s smaller than my master bathroom (slight exaggeration!). All these shows are starting to blur into each other; I totally agree with another writer about wanting to watch the show to see what the world is like out there internationally, but every single episode it seems like they’ll pick one spouse to be the be-atch and both of them saying pretty nasty things to and about each other on national television. Even the real estate broker gets in on the act, like his job is the toughest one in the entire world because the spouses disagree with each other? Boo-hoo I’m sorry to sound mean, but the girl in this episode did not seem even old enough to have been with this guy as long as they said they were plus I wanted to smack her hand off her hip and push her head lower (nose was literally stuck up in the air) like she was so holier than thou. If I had to pick one of them to spend some time with, she would be the last one on this planet. Such a turn off, where do they find these people? My husband would never talk to me again if I dissed him on national TV and/or vice versa...just sayin’!

seacliffsal August 26, 2020 Share August 26, 2020 When the couple in Ecuador were making their decision the wife pointed out that they would have to hire someone to clean the pool and the husband responded that in the condo they would have to pay HOA to which she responded it wouldn't be as much as paying a pool person. What? HOAs for condos can be crazy expensive. I so wanted to hear what the HOA was going to be for the condo. Of course, they probably plan to rent out the condo and there's probably an on-site office that takes care of that.

Sheikh Yerbouti September 2, 2020 Share September 2, 2020 Art therapist moving to Riga, Latvia to conduct academic research and connect to her family history. Interesting narrative. Riga is beautiful and the apartments seem like a bargain, considering it’s a European capital. All of the apartments were similar in design, and the attempts to distinguish them based on decor fell flat. Deal-breakers for me would have been a sixth-floor walkup, lack of oven, and small windows with an exposure that gets little light (probably nice in the summer when it’s daylight until the wee hours, but brutal during winter). I find it amusing they tried to dramatize distances in this compact city by making a 25-minute walk / 10-minute bus ride sound like an insurmountable commute. I didn’t love the university apartment as much as the city center one, but a 5-minute walk to a place she’d be every day, possibly including late evening hours in the library, was probably the smart choice. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4148-house-hunters-international-general-discussion/page/163/#findComment-6323278

Rooms with private bathrooms are more attractive to potential customers and they can charge more. She was also right about not wanting to hear the sounds of other guests--romantic or otherwise. The atmosphere would wear thin after a night or two of being unable to sleep or having to wait for a toilet. House #3 would be choice if we were talking about renting out the whole house as a vacation house to one family but for a B&B where the rooms are reserved separately, #2 was the smartest choice.

I believe she also said that house #3 was not as close to town and it wouldn't appeal to tourists as much as a place with easy access to shopping and restaurants would. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4148-house-hunters-international-general-discussion/page/163/#findComment-6344175

I often wonder who is the target market for a B&B room in a beach town for a place that is out of town; not close to the scene and also doesn't even have a pool. What would be the attraction? 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4148-house-hunters-international-general-discussion/page/163/#findComment-6344190
StatisticalOutlier September 13, 2020 Share September 13, 2020 In one of the Ecuador houses, it looked like a big bedroom at the top of the stairs didn't have a door. Surely I just didn't see it, right? Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4148-house-hunters-international-general-discussion/page/163/#findComment-6344234

At the end of the day if they aren’t happy the guests won’t be either. They were looking at it from both perspectives and as pointed out they all had issues that were not ideal for either themselves or guests. Given the size they were looking for this was clearly a supplemental thing and they wouldn’t make a ton of money at any of them.

LittleIggy September 18, 2020 Share September 18, 2020 Merida: I loved the place she picked. The kitchen cabinets were beautiful. The friend annoyed the 💩 out of me. What was their relationship that he was insisting on his own bedroom. I know it was no doubt scripted for the show, but he still annoyed me. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4148-house-hunters-international-general-discussion/page/163/#findComment-6353894

It seemed as though he was trying to make it all about him. If he loved Merida so much, why not move there himself? He was a weirdo.
