Hello, friends.
It’s living and dining room week and THANK GOD because if we had to sit through another bedroom renovation I’d put my head through a freshly wallpapered wall.
It’s also the week that nearly broke Sticks and Wombat and please judges no. Be kind to them. These two are our country’s chosen ones. I know they’d eat timber for dinner if it was an option but just… be nice, okay?

Speaking of Sticks and Wombat...
Sticks and Wombat, 20/30
I can't bring myself to recap what the judges said about the boys' room, so instead I'll just give you the quotes and you guys can make your own mind up:
-
On the boxy things surrounding the TV: “They look like ugly and complicated Tetris pieces which don’t really fit.”
-
On the furniture: “They need to take these couches back and they need to redesign their furniture layout.”
-
On the full room: "This room is totally lacking in any warmth. It has no soul.”
-
On their design skills: “I want to shake them and say stop.”
-
On their... personalities: “[They need to] sit down and rethink who they are and bring it all together."
Brutal. For what it's worth (I am a non-interior designer, non-aesthetically gifted writer person) I thought it was cool.

why has no-one - particularly the judges - noted that the television CAN NOT be seen from an entire section of the couch. The size of the couch was praised but what good is it in the end? I wondered whether the TV is on an arm that extends to bring it out past the fireplace but since the issue hasn't been noted I'm none the wiser.
The tv is on a swinging arm and can actually even be swung out to be seen from outside.
I agree, Ronnie and Georgia totally copied that room, called everyone else cheats and are generally just not nice people. (i.e. not offering to help others when you have finished early is what will give you that title guys. We get its a competition but if you wanna make friends, help each other out!)
They said they aren't there to make friends. Just not nice people - totally up themselves.
Exactly, but then complain when people leave them out of things? Hypocritical!
