After looking at a map, part of Percy Priest Lake also borders on TN state park land, so there are many more possibilities for that lake than for Old Hickory, I'd guess. Wonder if they will say?!?

You are welcome, Dipo!

I loved it! I think the first challenge is really something. Granted I'm not plopping my considerable derriere on a frail little cot out in the rain but I think it is a real challenge, (not just shopping for pretties). The 1 week time frame certainly seems outrageous. I would surmise that a lot of the $ would need to go 24/7 workers. I would also want 3 full baths with double sinks for 9 people. Don't care that they will be leaving each week or X # of days leaving fewer people per bathroom. It will be really interesting to see what transpires.

Suffice it to say, this wimp won't be on any reality shows anytime soon. I did attend a cattle call for Starting Over a couple years ago but wasn't "troubled or struggling" enough. I used to think Big Brother would be fun, but it has gotten so mean spirited and lame, and I could not share 1 potty with that many people.

It will be fun to see how the local woman does, can't remember her name.

Did they give any rules to the challenge other than to use the materials that were there? I think I would become the phone queen....calling all the local contracting people and telling them it was for a tv show. We'd have a regular barn raising! That is, if it would be allowed.

Not sure who I like the best at this point. Not even sure who made it yet!!!! I did like the guy who had the incredible presentation board... did he make it?

I wonder why they didn't let the husband-wife team compete together, the way they let them on the Food Network Star? I think they would have been interesting together.

If the land isn't part of the deal (is already dedicated..) then the entire $100,000 to build the house isn't like just buying a house with land for that price.. and if they don't have to pay for permits, hookups, and so on, that amount will go farther.

Crumb. I was out of town and missed this. What night does it air, what time (Pacific), and what channel? I'll have to set my DVR for the future recordings.

I don't like the bed frames they have to use though. Oh lord and someone's going to use silver leaf. I hate that stuff and I don't think I've ever seen it done right.

Hmm that dining room table is nice but doesn't fit the room. At least so far it doesn't.

The blue bedroom, love the colors. The quadlike bed is interesting but what bout the rest of the room??

Ahh they painted the dining room table. Don't like the chairs. I don't know if I like the room or not though.

I wanted the Jane with the negative attitude to go tonight. The one that was blaming everyone else.
