Reveal night finally settled Arches versus Fireplaces, and the winner left half the thread convinced the judges scored the wrong room entirely.
House 3 won on a wardrobe they didn’t even design
Lisa and Rosco took the win largely off the back of a walk-in robe styled by Courtney and Sev, not their own room, and the thread was not shy about calling it out.
House 3 only won because of the girls designing their WIR.

Judging consistency is officially a running joke
Fans compared this week’s scores against last week’s and struggled to find any logic: a barely finished room from a fortnight ago scored close to what a fully styled one earned tonight.
How can Darren give 6.5 for an unfinished room, but 6 for a room that missed the mark?

The high end coffin
One team’s dark, curved bedhead earned an instantly quotable takedown that the thread ran with for the rest of the night.
We’re in a high end coffin.

Darren’s beige brief copped the blame
With every room leaning heavily neutral this season, the thread pinned the blame squarely on the judges’ own styling direction rather than the contestants.
Darren Palmer needs to get fired for coming up with this Kim K beige theme.

Tayla’s styling had the thread wincing
A mismatched curtain length and a room described as thrown together without much thought kept Tayla in the firing line, though a few fans admitted she’s slowly growing on them.
The verdict
Thirteen episodes in, and the thread agrees on one thing: nobody’s fully satisfied with a single room this season. The scoring feels arbitrary, the beige brief has worn out its welcome, and the girls’ win by proxy has plenty of people questioning what’s actually being judged anymore.
Onwards to ensuite week, and if last time’s any guide, brace yourselves.
