I missed all but the last 15 minutes of this episode....damn TV Guide and their consistent programming errors! It was supposed to air at 8pm, but it aired at 9pm instead....I set the VCR to record it but got some lame sitcom reruns instead! I just happened to be channel flipping and saw that it was on at 9:45 so I was able to catch the end of it.

At any rate, the preview for next week looks like fun! It looks like the cute blond guy and his wife (Steve and Nicole) get some help. The preview says they "call in reinforcements" and then it shows him on the phone....and then it cuts to Brad and Lew walking up the street carrying stuff! Then it cut to Rose telling Steve that he was a "lowlife".

That's GOTTA be a good episode....Rose and Barney are coming in last and now Steve and Nicole get the help of Rose's and Barney's arch nemeses, which just happen to be the best team that was in the game! :-)

I can't stand Barney and Rose. I doubt if their apartment will win... they have no decorating skills. That patio was awful. I would be happy with either Steve/Nicole or Scotty/Sam winning. I like Ana, but don't like her husband.

I think if Ana & Dave win it is only because they got Brad & Lew's apartment. I loved seeing the return of Brad & Lew to help, I hope there is budget enough left for them to really fix up the apartment.

Barney & Rose are just beyond redemption at this point in the game if you ask me. She seems like such a bitter person.

Count me in for disliking Barney/Rose. Actually its mainly her that I detest. I can't believe that she tried to fire the real estate broker. The funniest moment of the show was B/R calling him Dave and him correcting them "its David". I was laughing out loud because it made them seem completely stupid and immature.

I would love for Steve/Nicole or Scotty/Sam to win. Ana/? are very annoying. What on earth were they thinking with carpeting the deck? Soooo tacky.

New definition of Trailer Trash...Barney and Rose being put out with the garbage next to their trailer!!!LOL

I have never in my life seen such horrid people on a show...what I don't understand is how in the world they are allowed to be on a show with couples who at least have some sort of taste in decor to pull it off...as far as their apt...I don't see how they can sell it with the low cost stuff they have put in their, it looks awful.

I was looking at my TVguide for this weeks show and it was showing on a channel I didn't receive in the bay area. Just wanted to put out a heads up to sanfranjoshfan. I was very annoyed about the wrong time last week as well!!! going to see if I can find an alternate time or channel where they are showing the finale. (it is the finale, right?)

Dipo, thanks for the heads up!

I just now checked the TV Guide and it looks like it airs on channel 36 this Friday. That happens somewhat often. When a sports game preempts a FOX show on channel 2, it often airs on channel 36 instead. (That's channel 2's "sister station")

I don't know in which part of the SF bay area you live, but channel 36 is available on Comcast cable (that's cable channel 6). A friend of mine that lives out in Belmont also has that same option on his Comcast cable.

Btw, the Oct 1 show is not the finale....NEXT week's TV Guide says the finale is Friday, Oct 8.

For someone who says they are non confrontational, Nicole sure was! She confronted Sam when she didn't need to. And ten she go all crybaby about it.

If you are gonna go with a plan, stick to it and don't worry if others don't like it.

I actually am starting to like Sam! (Shocker to myself as that is!)
I like how she stuck to her guns and also how she is sweet w/ her hubby...

The actual auction starts in 15 minutes in California!


quote:

Fox announced that the auction of the four California seaside condominiums renovated by the four teams is scheduled for Saturday, October 2, at 1PM at 1550 Pacific Coast Highway (located at the canopy on the beach just north of the pier in Santa Monica). The auction and its results will be featured on the season finale of The Complex: Malibu, which will air at the special time of Monday, October 4 at 9 PM ET/PT.




Auction Link

don't forget the finale is this MONDAY night at 9PM EST...ie in 2 days.

PS and, according to this article, the winner only gets the NET PROFIT after the sale of all 4 condos so they may not end up with much!

After watching these apts. being renovated, I'm not sure I would ever want to move in to any of them. I'd be afraid of a fire, explosion, or something falling on my head! I hope they get good homeowners' insurance.

Jan,
I think it is on Friday. The opening bid was $500,000 for each unit.

Does anyone know what the purchasing price was before renovations? I don't remember if it was ever mentioned.

Well the purchase price couldn't have been cheap. Because it seems as if the show caused most of the work needed to be renovated. They purposfully hid the marble in the bathroom.

It also could have been that maybe some TV Executive had a real estate connections and merged the two into a reality show. I'm sure they stand to make more money from the commericals and Sears than anything else.

Naturally this is all just speculation and I think whoever has "the boys" apartment is due to win. They really added value to the place before they left.

Marej - In last week's episode, Brad and Lew were hired as contractors by Steve and Nicole. They were paid $1200 to build a custom made table and bench for the kitchen area. Barney and Rose were really hateful about them being hired to do that (they called Steve and Nicole "low-lifes").....but as it turned out, Steve and Nicole won that competition!

Btw, don't forget that for the last two weeks the TV Guide listed "The Complex" to air at 8pm on Friday....but it actually aired at 9 pm instead!
