D&J’s room is cute, but I don’t think the art or the bright yellow mesh with the wallpaper. Also, that wallpaper is gorgeous and I wish it wasn’t entirely blocked by bunk beds.

All O&O need to do is install cabinetry on either side of the fireplace and do away with the wall of cabinetry behind the couch. Move the couch back and add a coffee table. Such an easy fix, honestly.

Scotty is a professional pot stirrer. I know it's a reality show, but it also makes me uncomfortable about the continuous telling team's struggles to other teams. It's just like a gossipy bully. No matter what you think of the teams, or it being a reality show, it's just uncomfortable for me to watch.

Spot on! He tries to shake things up, just so drama can occur for the show.

Is Shayna really praising some cheap battery powered lights hanging under a bed as if it was a piece of design genius? And doesn't she know Winnie The Pooh was not actually written by Roald Dahl? And don't even get me started on ugly wallpaper on the ceiling.

Agree with everything except she never said Winnie the Pooh was written by Dahl

So just rewatched the reveals and I have a lot of nitpicks about rooms 1-4.

Every time SJ mentioned how nice it would be for a baby to look up and see that wallpaper on the ceiling I wanted to tell her that babies can't focus more than about 10 inches in front of their faces.

House 1’s room is a rip off of a design by Kate Walker. Google - James Dunlop, Black Beauty.

OMG! This shouldn’t be allowed

How bad is it, even the decor!

Wow thats almost identical!

If O & O score more than 5s for that garbage it’s time to rethink the scoring system.

Judges have no idea about tv placement. Basic ergonomics will tell you that no one will be comfortable watching O&Os TV for any more than 5 minutes.

Why are the judges so obsessed with light switches next to their beds. Can the kids not get up and walk to the door like normal people?

Also the last few seasons they were going on about automated homes and no need for light switches 😂

It's good if you like to read in bed

Guest Bedroom Week 🛏 (S18E37, 09 Oct 22) --- Spoilers!

I would’ve thought A&S hallway would’ve been more worthy of a redo?

Ahh, for the re-do rooms you've got A&S twice. D&J are also re-doing their living room though.

JUDGES SCORES & FEEDBACK

Following a recommendation on insta, I googled Kate Walker design, bedroom with wallpaper on the ceiling. Reminds me of something....

Oh I just created a post for this because I thought the exact same thing! It’s a blatant copy!

😯 even the pink marble side table!!

Oh wow. That is almost exactly the same room…

the way they treat the buyers is genuinely awful. i know that they’re the ones essentially financing the build but the fawning attitude the producers have is genuinely disgusting

Oh look at that, a helicopter.

Oh look at that Danny Dumbbid

Money well spent! /s

JFC that TV is way too high for that distance to the couch.

TVTooHigh

The room would have worked better with no fireplace and the TV shifted lower

Aw so happy for D&J, they’ve been struggling for so long and now 2 in a row!

Awesome

Love that the cheapest room with the hardest workers got the win!

Jen running to get the cash is the best.

Well deserved! Love those two

They are the ideal contestants and the only type I think Scotty would cast if he got his way. Skilled and good looking.

Why have we barely seen the gnome this season?

Only appeared twice - really early on

YAY

Yay for D&J. Great result IMO.

Did she just complain about an 8 ½... honestly

Who is everyone voting to win tonight?

D&J

R&R

really none of them stood out to me. R&R i guess

D&J

Is “Miffy” a sponsor this year? What’s with the many many (creepy) miffy rabbits in everyone’s rooms? Even the boys had them!?

The judges wouldn’t have questioned it if it was a sponsor though. Must have been block bucks or a voucher or something.

The judges comments about the board games is weird, They are accessible in cabinetry in a living room, Do they have dedicated games storage rooms in their houses?

There’s no coffee table or any table in that room to play them. Essentially it’s just a storage room with a couch and tv if you’re not meant to play the games in there

There’s no space in the room to sit around to play a game…

They’re dumb comments for sure

Someone needs to tell O & O that there needs to be enough space in a second living room to live.

I think for a kids hang out room it would work. Teens don't move much

Exactly!

Agreed. That's ridiculously undersized for a living room.

I know a lot of people have slammed the judges but feel like (before scores) they have been pretty spot on

I don't think the second living room is a bad idea, the cabinetry and fireplace is though.

both the cabinetry and the fireplace take up way too much space and add nothing, you remove both and suddenly you have room for a large couch and the tv makes more sense

The judges' comments make me wonder what they do in their homes 🤔

You get a Miffy, you get a Miffy, YOU ALLLLL GET A MIFFY!!!

It was tacky af. Especially didn’t fit in the rooms that were supposed to be for older kids or grown ups. And multiple miffys? So cringe.

Yeah has to be a sponsor. Was watching it with my nana and I kept going “oh my god there’s another miffy! Oh god another one” so on so fourth.

What’s with the Miffy’s everywhere? It’s gotta be a sponsor thing right?

I agree with the judges here. It would have been better if they designed a room that could have been repurposed if the buyer doesn't like their vision.

The boys chose wisely, $3M house but only have one lounge/tv room? I think 4 bedroom, 2 living makes way more sense

Sure, but minus the cabinets and adding the pullout sofa would be good as a backup bedroom. Unfortunately, the decorating choices were horrible too. It feels like two different minds are decorating their house. One is doing baths and kitchens and the other is doing bedrooms

I agree. But their set up ruined the judges from seeing that. The recommendation for a lounge that was a sofa bed or at least a hint that it could be used as extra sleeping space if required would have got them more points for sure.

you'd use a 2nd living area so much more than you'd use a 'guest bedroom'. Can't imagine buying a house based on guest use!

It’s weird that there isn’t a media room, unless there’s still one to come? But that room was awkward. Way too small and weird layout for a tv room.

Yes to a second living room, but this room is too small for it tbh (even if you take the cabinets out, and push the couch all the way back)

Oh no. They hate the Miffys.

Neale doesn’t seem to know who Miffy is

It’s O&O’s redo room.

That’s the redo room then.

The Halloween theme song 😭

That sitting area in O&Os cabinet is horrible, If you have a lamp and ipad on a angle like that, its clearly too small to do even basic work.

I only watch the reveals, why didn’t the boys do a kid’s room?

don't love the light up cabinets, if i'm watching a movie i don't want to have to turn off the cabinet lights so its properly dark

Miffy sighted!

What’s with the Miffys?

Has to be a sponsor

Only 4 bedrooms?

I see these houses as air bnbs. It just needs 5 couple's rooms, or mix of queens and twins.

These house might be multigenerational. I could see older boomer parents and their children+partners and kids.

The cabinetry is just so unnecessary in such a big house!

Miffy in the living room! 😂 I seriously thought it was all a coincidence until now.

OH MY GOD THEYVE GOT A MIFFY IN THE LIVING ROOM 😭😭😭😭😭💖💖💖💖

Did Miffy sponsor this week's rooms?

There’s no other reason for the giant one in the boys room, it looks so out of place. Edit: omg there’s mini ones too wth

Prove me wrong Omar & Oz! They got a Miffy too!

It's got to have been something that became a running joke on site

Honestly I think cost of the room should be considered when judging the rooms🤦🏼‍♀️

What was it?

Ok I’ll ask, wtf is a miffy 👀

A kids book series that was turned into a TV show about a bunny called “Miffy”

dutch version of bluey

this had me pissing laughing it’s just a cartoon animal

That bunny lamp is horrifying

As was the wooden Pinocchio, nightmare fuel. The rest of the room was great!

Can’t wait for my kids to hang them selves from those party lights

I thought they were so cute but now you’ve said this you’re completely right! It’s not really safe

nothing like uhhh, burlap to make my kids feel comfy

Blaze gushing over D&J's room. Now watch her give it a 7.5 or something.

Shayna gives a 7(or .5) for almost everything thou

...and proved wrong. Excellent.

Gonna be sorely disappointed when Omar & Oz don’t have any Miffys in their room

Lol they have one! 😂

The lion items with the woodlands wallpaper is killing me gah

Yeah I hate that rug in the room

6k!That’s incredible

Miffy? Where’s Bluey?

Agreed. Support our Australian anthropomorphised animals!

Too bright?

Darren’s face

I love the painting, but the colours really clash with the wallpaper.

LOVE THIS

Did Miffy sponsor this episode lmao

I think it’s just trendy at the moment, all over kidstuff and everywhere

Got to be block bucks 🤣

Just gotta say: how dare those protesters drag Picasso into their shit!

As an accountant, I take offense with Ankur's comment that he couldn't budget because it was week-to-week income.

As a non-accountant I don’t understand how the week to week income doesn’t actually make it easier. You don’t know how much is coming so you should only be working with what you have. That doesn’t need an accountant, it just needs common sense.

He's a useless tool

terrifying doll!

Yeah... Kill it with fire 🤣

A little kids room….with a double bed.

Not in 2022

I know a lot of families that chose to put a double bed in from age 4 - saves them from buying a new bed later on

Our 3 year old has had a double bed since he was 1.5 years old. It’s been the best decision.

What about in d&J's room?

I think they just wanted to show it could be used as a kids room/guest bedroom.

Did they not say they didn’t want to have a gendered room? It’s very feminine.

Exactly my thought. Floral wall paper wouldn't be a huge hit with a lot of boys

If I were a kid and walked in that room I’d yawn and say borrring 🥱

Who’s the room for? I’m so confused by the baby stuff and then a bed lol it is so confusing.

When did children start getting double beds?

For many families straight into double when they transition from cot/toddler bed

My three year old has a double bed, makes our life easier if she needs us during the night

Very common these days. When my toddler moves from cot to bed I'm tempted to get a double for him, for when he's sick etc so I can lay with him without being squished.

in a multimillion dollar house i'd want a bloody double bed

It seems almost standard for pre-teens these days

S&A's room is not gender neutral. No tween plus boy wants flower wallpaper like that.

Agree it was overtly twee/feminine to me!

Adult/teenager rattan queen bed confuses me. Nice bed but if you’ve got rattles and rockers in the room then a cute little single bed would’ve been way better

I was thinking the exact same thing. The bed age doesn't match the furniture/toys.

Is it just me or is the bed backwards???

Came here looking for this comment. Foot looks higher than the head.

I have that bed and it’s the same at each end

it certainly looks like it's backwards

I like the individual components

Sounds like the judges hate it but are saying nice things…

The cynic in me thinks it's because they've got an instruction to score them highly because of the budget issues

Their speech feels so forced

I feel like this room is a mish-mash of ages.

Adult bed with baby toys on the shelf. I’m confused!

I feel like without the mini furniture it could very easily be a teen room

My first thought

It’s Miffy city on The Block this week

Sharon went to his hair appointment and just sat there doing nothing ffs she infuriates me

They cannot do a thing without one another, it’s weird.

subtitles blocked the total spend, how much was it?

14826

$53,000

Love all the "Miffys". As someone with Dutch family it's very satisfying.

I used to watch it as a kid

I like R&Rs handles on the wardrobe- no sharp edges to catch on anything.

I would have liked that room as s as teen

Why couldn't the artwork fit beautiful on the one line?

Because it's artistic /s

Nah that art feels a bit messy 😅😅😅

This room might be too big lol, looks very sparse to me

My kids would love the space. Would keep a lot of crap out of the living areas if they had more space in their bedrooms.

My girls saw the size of it and thought it was great - plenty of room to play.

I think because they used little kid sized furniture.

makes it more flexible imo, and kids love to run around indoors so the extra space is nice

$10160 for RR

$12884 for T&SJ

Not sure on the exact number but 12k I think

15k if I recall correctly.

RR’s wallpaper would make that room never feel tidy.

especially for the cost, great room from R&R

ANOTHER Miffy!

Love Miffy

What was innovative about wallpaper on the ceiling and still using green but just a pastel green? The bar is low here for the judges.

It’s great when a parent can deliver a nursery on this show. SJ was beaming at the end. Good on them.

I like how versatile the room is. I would prefer a rocking chair.

With some head support.

Nothing matches. And the ceiling is gross

I agree with Shaynna that mint green doesn't go with the rest of the room. I think the wallpaper does match the curtains and wardrobes though.

I’m normally not a fan of wall paper on the ceiling but it makes sense in a nursery

that marble table is so incredibly tacky, nothing like a heavy, sharp edged table in a room for children

Miffy!

Scotty is coming off as a massive d?$k this season. He clearly has an agenda about some contestants (right or wrong). I know A&S situation is their fault by not keeping on top of their budget, I know this is all for the drama as there is no way they knew this was an upward trend WEEKS ago

How is he coming off as a massive di$k? What’s the point sugar coating what they’ve done? He didn’t get personal. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I remember in previous seasons they were pinged for not submitting invoices within X period and the budget was kept a eye on
