I've been kind of watching it without being real involved with it (e.g. on while doing other things.) Its not as engaging a show as some others. Its funny you thought that about alliances- they about chewed one lady inside out last night over the idea that she may have gossiped about an alliance!

I'm watching this show, but I keep falling asleep! It's interesting that the ones on the chopping block are chosen at random, and then get to be leaders in the tasks. I like this show.

I have been watching, but usually not until they repeat the shows on the weekend. Too many other things going on during the week. On Sundays they show the previous week and the most recent week back to back.

I've been watching on Sunday's like Reiki. Although I did catch Monday nights episode this week. As much as I like the random key pulls I dislike just as much. There's no plotting before the pull. All the plotting happens after the fact. And if 2 people you are aligned with, well it kinda blows. I thought the girl who wouldn't commit to voting someone off if deadlocked was an idiot. It's cool they evicted contestant gets $5,000. Call me shallow but I don't like hearing all their sob stories. I think I'd like this show much more if they didn't cast all these homeless types. There have already been 3 or 4 episodes and I still can't remember anyones name. I don't have any favorites but dislike Diggy and the guy that keeps reminding everyone he has had constuction experience.

Hey all - A&E is moving the show to Mondays at 11pm/10pm central....sounds like they want to capitalize on the Airline audience...

Thank you Fnbdave!!!! I just checked Yahoo's TV listing to see what time things were on tonight. (since NBC has their goofey strat and end times) When I checked for House of Dreams at 9:00 cst it wasn't on the lineup. I thought I'd check out this great site for up dates and what do you know!!!! ;) FnbDave had the info I was looking for...again, Thanks!

I tried watching the Sunday time slot, but I just keeping seeing the first 2 shows!! ANy news? Did I miss a show? The scenes they are showing that Flora is after a lil "somethin" and is scaring/bullying/teasing/ something!! the other women... again with editing, its hard to say what is real, and what is contrived... with her being a lawyer, and her laughing in her 'confessional' times, it leads me to believe there is some editing going on...

I accidentally caught the show, even tho TV guide showed only Murder She Wrote episodes. I flipped over at ten and Airline was on, showing HOD coming up next. Flor nd Sherrill got the red hats. Apparently Flor has something going with Jim, sleeps with him every night, which others feel is disrepsectful to his wife (I agree). Sherrill says he wants Jim out and will not give up on it, Jury deadlocks and Flor won't allow Jim to go, so they both agree they will go. Then they show some more conversations and she says she has some other names, next thing you know they are throwing out Jared. I think it is time for Flor to go, but that is just my opinion.

Thanks dat! I still havent been able to catch a new episode of the show! I have caught a new one of airline!! I do remember when the Today show interviewed George Wendt before the show started, he seemed to geninunely care - of course he gave nothing away, just the premise of the show... I wish Icould remember!!

The article is in the January 27th edition of Star Magazine...page 83...Mel Gibson on the cover..they talks to Jared, Mike, Lisa and Matt and they all said Jim was a sanke and hooked up with Flor right away. They assume the relationship won't last. STAR called Flor's house and the message machine ha her and Jim saying "we aren't home", when contacted again they had no comment.

Thanks for the behind the scenes input. I had really hoped to enjoy this show, but the only reason I'm watching now is that it comes on next to Airline. I really wanted to see more of the actual building process. Once I attempted some carpentry projects (built a small chicken house!) and I totally admire anyone who is skilled in this field. (LOL at myself ---like . . . totally . . . dude) I loved the light, cute opening song and the premise. I have enjoyed some of the lighter social moments. The parting gift of $5000 is a very nice touch. For me, Jim & Flo cast a very dark shadow, not only because of their dominance but also their distain for Jim's marriage. I find both of them very aggressive and the fact that everyone else has become increasingly competitive and defensive really makes this show unpleasant . I love George Wendt, but don't really see a humorous side to him here, or that he is emotionally engaging with these people. In the eliminations, I find myself wondering if he's as fed up with the alliances and negativity as I am (Just projecting, I know.)

I just caught up on a couple of these. Wouldn't it be funny if the $5000 check they get at the end was really a $5000 loan from Lendingtree.com!!!!

I just hope to heaven that Jim and Flor do not get the house and I can't wait to see the day that they go! I was so happy that one of their little clique got voted off and not Rochelle.

I didnt know John (the policeman?) was in Flo and Jim's clicque... I thought I'd like this show, but it is truly driving me nuts!! I wonder how the vote would change if it was a "secret" ballot, having to raise your hand in front of everyone you either are really brave, or bullied/intimadated.... just an interesting twist

Mamie--I agree! Reader--I don't think the policeman was in Flo & Jim's clique, I think Mamie wrote that just before the last show, about the lady (Wanda) that left. Good insight--the open voting lends itself to bullying. Kappy--I'm in New Mexico (mountain time). Here it comes on Mondays at 9 PM & repeats at 1 AM on the Arts & Entertainment channel. I think there may be repeats on the week-end, but not sure of that. (Needless to say, I'm still watching. ) Darn, darn darn--just when the tide was about to turn on Jim & Flo last week, Sherrill mucks up the plan. Disappointed in Tony. I liked the policeman, and now I'm really rooting for Rochelle.

I just came home before 1:00 and it was just ending, lol. That's been my luck with this show. So thanks for the times, everyone. Maybe I'll get it right next week. I want to see who ends up in the final four now.

I'm with you Kappy, I always just happen on the show, last week it was on Monday, but the time was screwed up (not starting or ending 'on the hour') so as I climbed into bed and did a run thru all the channels (surfing, who me??!!) there it was, and after 10pm CST!! Even Sundays, I've got so much going on, but if its Sunday, I often try and see if I'm availble for the rebroadcast!! Hoping to see a show I missed... one week is a l ong 7 days!!

I was sad to see John go. He seemed like a very nice guy. And I used to want Tony to get the house because I felt sorry for his story but after he said that God told him to vote out John, forget it! I just hope this week it's not Mike or Rochelle who are up on the block. Make it be Sherrill, Flor or Jim. And I also had to laugh at how happy Jim was to get the letter from his wife. Hah!

Sportsmom--we shall see, we shall see. I tend to think that actions come back around eventually. I agree with Seattlemom & Mamie. I'm so disappointed in Tony--I'd feel better if he had just said he would vote out John because he wanted the house, and not bring God into it. I also don't care for Sherrill, or the juggler Viveca, both have begun to seem very calculating and don't really care about the house beyond financial gain. (I know, they're all in it for some kind of financial gain--maybe I just hope someone who cares about the home itself gets it.)
