I honestly haven't been keeping up (even with only one half-hour per week, Craigy seems sometimes to be phoning it in), but the greatest thing about this show is that he always has one panelist whose presence is GENIUS. And for this topic, Ty Penington, the first 'HGTV Superstar'? SUPER-genius.

I think this episode had a good dynamic because they couldn't agree on a thing. Adam Goldberg was also great trying to make some sense with his choices, while Craig just wanted him to pick anything and move on.

Why was Craig so insistent on keeping Hoover Dam on the list? He even reversed the choice of the panelists, who seemed very determined that Hoover Dam was no big deal (and yet somehow the Brooklyn Bridge was? New Yorkers! amirite?) Is he just a shill for Big Dam??

He loves Vegas?

(I think he wanted to shake some things up - he saw the panel was loving to argue and tried to stir the fire a bit more)
