Did you get a chance to watch the first episode of this new season? The homeowner seemed to be thrilled with the outcome. Do you think she made a huge improvement from what the space looked like before?

Alison Victoria shows are guaranteed to have a lot of drama. What’s your opinion of the drama level for this first episode?

(I must confess that I often watch renovation shows just for relaxation and also to get some design ideas for my home but that’s not what I get from her shows. I mainly watch her shows when I can’t find anything else to watch. I certainly don’t find her shows to be relaxing.)

Seeing this week’s episode and Charlie talking about his cancer diagnosis really elicited empathy from me as a three time cancer survivor. I’m sending prayers and positive thoughts to him and his entire family. You got this Charlie! 💙💙💙

Does anyone else wish HGTV had more gardening shows?

I’ve gotten really into gardening lately after finally moving to a place with my own yard and wow I had no idea how expensive it could get as a beginner. I’m constantly learning little tips and tricks from other gardeners and finding new ways to save money. I wish there was more of that on HGTV or stuff you can actually try at home. It’s also just a nice escape. Sometimes I want to turn something on, relax a little and learn something while I’m watching.

Anyone else? And if you know any good gardening shows, I’d love recommendations! 🪴

It started out rough for me but this show has actually grown on me. I hope I’m not alone. Charlie is character no doubt, right? Idk. I’m watching the latest episode and I like him and the show. The cancer diagnosis was a bit of a shock but I appreciate the honesty and wish the best for him.

The new Rock The Block lineup has arrived:

✅ Brian & Mika Kleinschmidt
✅ Mina Starsiak Hawk & Scott McGillivray
✅ Sabrina Soto & Anthony Carrino
✅ Paige Davis & Carter Oosterhouse

So, I just heard that there will be a season 8 of Rock the Block. I really love the concept of taking identical homes with the same interior layouts and being creative to add value.

For seasons 1-3, I felt like they were on par with the added value aspect. In past seasons, I feel like HGTV has been losing the core theme: added value. How about a new twist: the homes should be a reasonable size like the first 3 seasons (more so like season 1 but a tad bigger), kept identical, and feature blind judging, with the twist being that the interiors are completely empty. I feel that if they do not add any interior walls, it will allow the designers to shape how big or small their weekly room challenges are and decide where to put them.

This would also showcase their space planning skills, and we could stop seeing the same things over and over again. This show needs to turn it up a notch.

What do you guys think?

I’m trying to find an episode of House Hunters where a husband gets super excited about a house because there’s a phone next to the bathtub.

The house had an older style, possibly from the ’80s or ’90s. I can’t remember much else about the couple or the episode, but the bathroom phone really stood out to me!

I’ve tried searching with a variety of different terms, but I haven’t been able to track down the episode. Does anyone remember which episode this might be, or have any suggestions for finding it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ok so whole concept is extremely silly and that's fine. I'm enjoying most of the designs. As always with reno competition shows, I like some styles better than others, that's taste, we all have different ones.

This episode just annoyed me more than usual, I was saying in the overnight part with the yes no box nonsense " well they will never get rid of ghost girl no matter what". And low and behold, they make up a way to keep her because they could not justify eleminating Logan, and contrary to what she thinks Diana should have gone home for that mess.

This couple is either 100% divorced or 100% moved back to Boston. I have never seen a wife so bitter about a move.
