Ensuite reveals landed, Rick and Tayla pulled off a genuine grand slam, and even the girls seemed happy for someone else to win for once.
Rick and Tayla’s grand slam actually landed well
After weeks of being written off, Rick and Tayla swept the week, and even rival teams seemed genuinely pleased to see it, a rare moment of goodwill for a thread usually running on outrage.
What a week for Rick and Tayla, grand slam.

An unfinished room scored a 7.5 and nobody could believe it
Yet another incomplete room posted a surprisingly high score, and the thread’s running joke about judging inconsistency picked up right where it left off last week.
Unfinished room, 7.5 out of 10. Wow.

The girls didn’t win, and the thread noticed the silence
Courtney and Sev missed out on the win this time despite their usual level of help, and fans were quick to point out how much sweeter the result felt without the AI music undercutting it.
Good result if it weren’t for the AI music.

Lisa’s reaction to feedback didn’t land
Lisa pushed back hard on judges’ notes that the thread felt were fairly mild, especially given the room in question wasn’t even finished.
Next week’s brief has everyone worried
A living, dining and alfresco combo week on the horizon had fans bracing for the biggest workload yet, with more than one person questioning how any team finishes that scope in the time given.
The verdict
Seventeen episodes in, and for once the result actually felt earned: Rick and Tayla’s win was clean, and the girls missing out for a change gave the thread something to genuinely enjoy. Whether that goodwill survives living, dining and alfresco week is another question entirely.
See you back here once the dust settles on the next big build.
