I only watched last night's episode this morning as I forgot it was on on Sundays......

They have a BIG week ahead of them, master, ensuite and WIR

I really liked the girls vanity/basin and shower with the tiles. Didn't like R&T's vanity. Thought all the Laundry's were good. Jenna needs to start treating Josh a bit better. My DH would leave me if I spoke to him like that.

I am a little confused as to what their budget is? They keep making mention that they are running out of money, but according to the website they have a $100,000 budget - which would indicated they still have money left to finish... Can anyone fill me in on what they issued in the early episodes as I missed it? If they even mentioned it at all?

They have 25K cash and 75K in vouchers as I understand it.
I think some are running out of the $.. but not the vouchers. They have vouchers for flooring, reece? and kitchens etc.
But obviously still need cash for builders and stuff.

I thought that they had mitre 10 vouchers too so I am not sure why some are so far over.. when we are three rooms in and things like carpet and the bathroom stuff would have vouchers??

Maybe I am misunderstanding though?

So typical

the girls win then they get the real crappy prize...it has happened 2x so far.

I wonder what they have choose to do? If it was me, I would take just $500 off each couple. The rules were not clear if they had to take the lot or not.

What a Bizzare twist

I'd take $1500 off J&J and $1500 off R&T. Although after Josh's comment about taking it from Polly & Waz, maybe they should take the lot from J&J.

Hmm...will be interesting tomorrow night.

So glad they won but how unfair that they have been ripped off with stupid prizes both times???

Oh what a twist

. Very clever but nasty Channel 9

I would take all $3K from Josh and Jenna as they are the toughest competition.
What would everyone else do?
