I was waiting for some fists to fly last night! You talk about playing down and dirty. I don't think that Kim will get along with the other side either, especially Sam. It could be interesting next week.

I was totally offended by that one couple that kept referring to the gay guys as the "Flames". That was just rude and hateful, but the producers were just as bad for allowing it to remain in the episode. If they had referred to the black guy (that was evicted on the previous episode) as the "Darky", I seriously doubt that the producers would have chosen to include it in the episode. It's just really disheartening to be constantly reminded that using slurs to refer to gay people in America is still so disturbingly acceptable.

I think they left it in to show how ignorant that couple is.

Well after watching the whole show, I don't think I can rip on Kim as much as i really want to. She's still mean, but I woulda been pissed too if my team was trying to sabotage us. Plus they (Rose/Barney/Dave/Ada?) did lose and did not evict Lew & Brad-so they didn't even follow thru w/their plan.

RECAP - 2nd Episode http://www.fox.com/complex/recaps/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Once there were eight couples competing for the final spot. Then there was a lot of banging and yelling and screaming and bleeping and now there are seven. Mail arrives with the new challenge: Master bathroom. Budget: $10,000 (Cash $7,000 & Sears Gift Card $3,000) plus anything left over from the previous challenge. You’ve got until noon Saturday. The clock starts now. Property managers are chosen. Kim for Lower Complex and Jayna for Upper Complex. FYI, managers get to oversee but they don’t get a vote and they take the bullet if one of their units comes in last. Out of the starting block, Jayna and Sam get into a heated argument over something so ridiculous I don’t even remember what it was. Jayna thinks Sam should up the meds. Kim takes off in the car and doesn’t return for a good six hours. Oh, so that’s why she wanted to be manager for a second time. Back at the complex, Barney & Rose and Dave & Ana are none too happy. They view this as a hostile act of sabotage and they devise a Machiavellian plan of their own. Operation Evict Kim & Carl is underway. It involves being slow and lazy and exhibiting really bad taste. End goal: to create a really cheesy bathroom. Dave and Ana take the car under the pretence of picking up tile for the tub. As the hours tick away, Kim assumes it’s indecision. She doesn’t think Dave and Ana can agree on anything to save their lives. Well, Kim, they agreed to spend the afternoon sitting on a bench on the pier watching the tide roll in and out. Speaking of rolling in… here’s Tyler with the 24-hour warning. And a little twist. The manager from each complex gets to go on an espionage mission of the other. When Jayna returns from enemy camp, she reports back to her team: Apartment #3 is doing a kickass job. Sam is furious. Apparently she thinks Jayna is exhibiting poor leadership by telling the truth. When Brad & Lew catch sight of the bathroom in Unit #1, they’re disgusted with Barney & Rose and Carl & Kim. What about integrity? What about taking pride in your work? Barney explains that it’s called “strategy.” Welcome to the real world boys. Brad & Lew and Kim & Carl stay up all night trying to resuscitate the lifeless bathroom. Suddenly the whistle blows. Tools down. Time for the panel of experts to make their rounds. Unit #1: Unexciting, dark and prison-like. Unit #2: Cool lines, nice green color, good size bath but no jets. Unit #3: Nice job, unique choices but missed the corners. Unit #4 No shelves, too unfinished to really evaluate. Ok, people, it’s time to vote and head down to the lumber yard. The master bathroom that adds the most value is….. #3! Hmm, looks like Jayna was right after all. Jayna & Erik and Kim & Carl are on the hot seat. This may be the last chance you have to say something to your teammates. Anything Jayna? Oh yeah. Jayna came to the complex for two reasons: to have some fun and to make good design happen. Instead she found herself dealing with sixth-grade playground politics. Ok, Jayna, time’s up. The master bathroom that contributed the least value is…Unit #1. Erik & Jayna… you’re evicted. Kim & Carl… you’ve been spared. But your teammates wanted you to go, so you’re going… over to the other team.

Well Barney and Rose I no longer like. Last week wasn't their plan to get rid of the boys-and yet they voted to evict Kim & Carl? I don't get it. I'm glad the boys didn't go and I like how they didn't slam anyone during their comment time. Kim is icky. But at times she is cool and smart...

alliances ruin the potential for a really good show... imho of course!! IT is so blatant that Rose is just mean or set in her ways, that I dont agree with... she is so enjoying her 15 minutes, and is so set in such a great alliance, I always hope the producers will step in with a twist... they did end the show with a teaser... who knows?!! I just dont like the people trying the hardest (at this point you have to give kudos to Brad and Lew!) are on the same level with the mischief Rose keeps stirring up - game, who will bid on that crap?! NEver mind, there is a sucker born every minute!!

I just finished watching (had to tivo it last night and catch up with sleep) and I so do not like Rose and Barney. But, this is how I would like it to play out. I hope their team wins again and one of the other couples goes home - I don't really care which. Then it will be left with whichever couple, Brad & Lew (yeah!), Dave & Ana, and Barney & Rose (boo). I think at that point each couple works on their own unit and we all know who would win that. I am off to the Complex website to see if I have the rules right. I am enjoying the show, but agree that fewer alliances would be nice. I just like home improvement shows

The way I see it, Brad and Lew should win hands down...

I'd like to see some twist where the evicted couples get to vote to decide who the final two couples are. I know they can't decide the ultimate winner because that will be decided by the auction of the complex, but maybe they'll get to have some kind of input towards the end. That would sure sink the boat of those two mean old folks. They've already had a couple of surprises and some team switching, so a twist like the one I want is quite possible!

How will they choose who gets the guys condo once they are evicted ?(which they will be since noone can hope to win against them   They sure deserve to win though) Obviously whomever gets the lower complex will win since it has the guys condo and the upper complex has unit 1 which has been deemed worst every time...isn't that likely??? so it seems totally unfair when they move couples to upper from lower.

I was on the Complex website and they don't really say how things are going to work. So, I guess we will all have to wait and see. I do like Sanfranjoshfan's idea since I think that would help Brad & Lew too! Oh, if your in the Phoenix area here is something I picked up from the Complex message board: "Brad and Lew's store is "haus" and it is on north 7th street, across from Hamburger Mary's, but not for long....they are movin' on up to the Biltmore Fashion Park on October 1st, and will be next door to Macy's. They are having a sale right now, so if you need a deal on modern, urban furniture including custom furniture made by Lew as seen on the show (!!!!) better get on over there quick...."

OK, up against big brother and this show fails!! LOL I was flipping back and forth, caught a bit of it, still hate Rose tho!! Now there is cockiness!! Wont spoil yet, as I'm sure a few may have tivo'd.... ok, maybe I'll put in white who got evicted this week - they did living rooms, what is it with guys and brown? I still wish this show was more about the rooms, and less about alliances - the worst room is gone... * * * * * * * * Brad and Lew exited

Well as I stated I was flipping back and forth, and I havent given this show enough attention to understand the nuances... but it all boiled down to alliances... (the recap is up now) Sam was crying mostly, she hates Rose, but her word is her word... ug... Steve and Nicole were so determined NOT to come in last place, adn they didnt... there was fighting over shopping, esp the couches, Ana claimed she couldnt take it, and they all decided when she goes shopping she can never make up her mind, so they left her back, her and Rose were supposed to work, and of course Rose didnt!! (just whined and yelled, and was her domineering self! She was so smug in that alliance, the woman obviously none have caught on to BB or Survivor, outsmart, outwit, LIE? Backstab? I'm wondering if they were given instructions, truely, why were they so motivated to keep an alliance with the couple that did so little work? anyway... The men came back bragging about this exceptional couch, how great, awesome, etc it was... the judges HATED IT (it was ugly) and Ana just about lol!! Then the next part I caught was at the eviction part - not how they got there or anything, but they evice Brad and Lew, who were upstanding about leaving, it was sad, and yet, they were so I dont know 'dignified;? Then the host tells them they are no longer teams. Dave and Ana go to a wheelbarrel of sand with 2 shovels, if they pick the X they chose thier flat, if its nothing Rose choses... they pick the plain shovel... one couple made the comment that they were going home to unit 4... again not following this strongly enough to understand what all that signified!! I'm sure its on the fox site tho... so they'll have to complete the 2nd bathroom, the kitchen and the 2nd bedroom I think...oh and the patios!!

So mad I forgot to tape this. 9/17 Recap from web site. The groups return home after the latest cuts. Sam says it’s time to start thinking out of the box. Steve recommends they go for broke. Expect big things from Group One this week. The next morning, the plans arrive. They’ll be working on the living room this time, with a total budget of $14,000 and five days to finish the job. The lower complex tabs Ana as the property manager and the upper goes with Steve. Sam now says it’s time to start rocking and rolling. Rocking outside of the box, Scotty suggests bringing a taste of Jordan into the room by putting a pillar right in the center of everything. Ana suggests playing up the ocean view and going with white furniture. Barney says, hey, what about a waterfall? Brad thinks, hey, what about no waterfall? Barney reacts by sparking a domestic spat with Rose. Upstairs, Nicole wants to not lose. So they’ll start off by ripping up the floors. Steve says busting up floor panels is almost better than sex, which Nicole notes for their next fight. The lower complex rips out their own flooring. The new flooring is almost set when the last board breaks. Barney asks the boys to pick up a new piece when they go out, but the boys get distracted by kittens at the hardware store and flake on the board. Barney thinks it’s all a big conspiracy. Ana returns from the store with accessories, but Rose doesn’t want to pull a Brad and Lew and decorate with an Asian flair. Ana wonders just what Rose and Barney have against Brad and Lew. After all, they have such great taste. That night in Unit 3, Brad and Lew are working hard. Meanwhile, Unit 4 is sitting back and relaxing. Barney says either first or second place would be good with him. The next morning, Steve is worried that they’re too far behind, so Nicole really better get out and get some new pieces today. Steve thinks Sam should go with her. Tyler calls the groups together and tells them they’re moving out of their current apartments and into their teammates’ places. They have 24 hours to finish the current project, and teams can only work on their new units. Each group suspects this will cause problems. As things are coming together, Ana mentions she was hoping for a beach look, but is ending up with a retro ‘70s style thanks to the ugly furniture and rug her teammates have purchased. Four hours to go. Barney loves his room. Rose thinks Brad and Lew are heading home this week. One half-hour left. Nicole and Sam scramble to finish off their room with flowers and such. Time runs out and Tyler calls the groups outside. The appraisers make their way through each room, and no particular unit stands out as a success. In fact, the experts are mostly disappointed in what they see. But they unanimously decide that the living room in Unit 1 added the most value. When all the dust settles, Brad and Lew and Steve and Nicole are at risk of being booted. Any last words? Brad and Lew say they can’t believe their partners have been so sneaky. Steve says he loves this group. So which unit added the least value? Unit 4 in the lower complex. Brad and Lew are going home. The four remaining groups now have three weeks to finish off their units.

I wonder what the bidding on #3 will be like, now that the gay guys are gone. And I really wonder with unit #4 what the true value added is. Other than putting in wood floors and cleaning and painting the walls, I would probably throw out everything else that was done there. And the old couple and their obsession with those cheap, faux colonial, faux French country style decorations. Yuck!

Not a smart move on Rose's part to be disrespectful and taunt a judge.
