Kind of a 'Fear Factor' feel to them meeting in the lumberyard.

Anything in the budget left over gets rolled over to the next project.

Yeah! MB #3 was the best!

TY :-)

I hate it when they make us wait for after the commercial to find out....

I think Carl & Kim are going to be going.

I must say that I loved the fact that Monique called others out.

And Barney brought up alliances! LOL

Wow! Sunyika & Monique have been evicted.

I can't believe MB #4 wasn't the worst.

Upper complex sure looked shocked.

Favorite couple: Brad & Lew - not ruffling feathers and doing good work.

Least favorite: Sam & Scotty - her temper seems a tad bit explosive.

Not thrilled with Barney & Rose - he seems good, she doesn't seem to add much except complain. Bet no one wants to be project manager next week.

That website does take a long time to open from a blank white screen, then it sits there, and then it overwhelms you with this bang of a noise, then you can get to the site with the pics of the couples, and lets see... It has pics of the rooms and recaps... the pics can be viewed from a panoramic viewpoint!!

see if the recap page loads...

Complex Recaps

ok, this seemed to load ok, and on the side you can get to the couples and the before and afters

Here's the RECAP from http://www.fox.com/complex/recaps/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two teams.  Eight couples.  Four apartments.  One very complex living situation.  

Limos arrive and transport our couples to an undisclosed beach front location in Malibu.  They enter the apartments and… “Oh my God, you’ve got to be kidding!!!”  Dust, trash, graffiti, cracked wall, peeling paint, rotting floorboards…  Is this really Malibu?  Doesn’t Barbara Streisand live down the block?  The couples resign themselves to living in Hell for the next seven weeks.

First step.  Clean up.  From the starting gate, the Couples are already monitoring each other’s workload.  Slacker watch is on.  Older couple Barney and Rose are already having a little trouble keeping up.  Rose is out of breath when she reaches the top of the stairs so she breaks for a cigarette.  That should help.  Rose is elected resident Chef and she’s not at all happy about it.  She announces in no uncertain terms that this will be her first and last time flipping burgers.

Next is the great Crown Molding Controversy.  Jayne thinks Crown Molding screams suburbia.  Sam disagrees and thinks Jayne’s tone is condescending.    

Mail arrives.  Blue prints for Challenge #1.  The Bedroom.  Budget:  $10,000.  Property managers are chosen.  Monique for Lower Complex and Kim for Upper Complex.

Couples start jockeying for position.  Alliances are being formed.  Promises are being made and broken.  

Jayne and Sam go on a paint run that turns into more of a paint spill.  Jayne miscalculates the cart and the curb and the paint goes flying.  Jayne assures Sam that one day they’ll laugh about this but the look on Sam’s face says she’s not laughing now or ever.  What follows is a string of mishaps that come close but don’t quite measure up to the original spilt paint debacle.  The wrong furniture arrives on the truck, the wrong floors are laid in, the guys show up at the store with no money.  You get the idea.

Host Tyler arrives and delivers the 24-hour warning.  Bedrooms must be completed by noon tomorrow.  Oh, and one couple will be evicted from the room that receives the lowest score.  Teammates will decide each other’s fate.  Managers will be excluded from the vote.

Tick, tock, tick, tock.  It’s 3am and hammers are still pounding and tensions are flying high.  Maybe it’s time to take away the dangerous tools, people.

Time’s up.  Tools down.  It’s in the judges hands now.  They go from room to room inspecting with a fine tooth comb.  Hidden flaws are uncovered.  Points are taken off for clashing colors, inappropriate textiles and garish decorations.  

The couples slip their vote into the ballot box and head down to the lumber yard to find out who’s in and who’s out.  The panel of experts has weighed in.  Apartment  #3 is the big winner.  Now the couples weigh in.  Sanyika & Monique and Carl & Kim are up for eviction.  Now it just depends on which apartment ranks last.   According to the experts, Apartment #1 contributes the least value to the complex.  And that means… Sanyika & Monique are gone.  Any final words?  Oh yeah.  Monique says “Wow!”  She’s shocked.  When she thinks about how much Unit #1 sacrificed for #2.  But most of all she’s surprised by Scotty staging an alliance with them and then turning against them.  Sanyika just thinks it’s a reminder that you never know who to trust.

I didn't like this show very much but I'll watch again. Way too confusing for me.

I couldn't figure out who the teams were and which masterbed room was which team....oy.

I caught the last 15 minutes. I did tape it tho, so i'll watch it later...

Man these people are MEAN! I thought Kim was a BlTCH royale. I couldn't believe how nasty she got. Too bad she won't be working with her old teams!

Just have to say, I REALLY don't like Barney & Rose. Dave & Ana aren't too high on my list either. I know it is a game and strategy and all but I feel bad for Brad & Lew.

That last 15 minutes was definitely reality tv.

From the previews sounds like Kim may clash again.

I watched the 2hour show on Wednesday and also last night's, and had the same reaction as Pamy, it was quite refreshing to see the bad feelings out in the open like that, LOL!
I didn't like Kim and don't like Sam, it's too bad that the team leader pair went instead of her and Scotty. I agree about Barney and Rose, but also, Kim started it, and when they found out they wanted to retaliate, which is sort of understandable.
I still can't get over the way they're not only allowed to yell at each other but we get to see it all. Funny!
(I must be meaner than I thought)
