WON\u2019T BE MISSED: Why Scott Cam doesn\u2019t care that Adrian Portelli left the show<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"\/](\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg)
<\/p>\n
Shaynna finds the first of many too high vanities in Han and Can\u2019s room.<\/p>\n
The boys\u2019 neighbours Alicia and Sonny, like everyone else, fell short with their too-tall vanity and Shaynna bugbear, vertical towel rails. But they did receive glowing praise for their chocolate-hued bathroom. <\/p>\n
Darren said he was \u201cbesotted\u201d with what they had done.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Robby and Mat\u2019s winning bathroom. Darren wanted to kiss it and Shaynna was just happy with horizontal towel rails.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis gave me a kiss on the mouth as soon as I walked through the door,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Marty played a little harder to get. But admitted that the longer he stayed in the room (and took in little finishing touches like the timber stool), the more he liked it.<\/p>\n
Sonny and Alicia may have finished second for their reno, but their budgeting came out trumps, netting them $10,000. The Queenslanders spent almost $10,000 less than victors Mat and Robby.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sonny and Alicia spent much less than the boys but nearly pipped them.<\/p>\n
Can and Tan also fared well with the penny-pinching. But Han\u2019s refusal to accept they had bitten off more than they could chew with the elaborate floor to ceiling tile design, meant they failed to finish.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, Foreman Dan had tried to gently suggest the girls scale back their ambitious tiling plan fearing (rightly, it turned out) that they were headed for disaster. But \u201cHandy Han\u201d wasn\u2019t having a bar of it. She seemed to be the only person on site who couldn\u2019t see they were doomed. At one stage, she was even talking about going over to help neighbours affected by glue-gate after she finished tiling.<\/p>\n
Of course, they never finished. But Han never gave up hope they would until after host Scotty Cam called \u201cTools down!\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dan is dismayed at how much tiling Han and Can still have to do with one tiler on the tools.<\/p>\n
Prepared to cop criticism for being unfinished, Han couldn\u2019t stomach it when the judges pointed out the flaws with their design. Literally. Leaving the judging room in tears, Han locked herself in the caravan bathroom to vomit. <\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t as though the judges had said anything that harsh. Much of the criticism revolved around vanity height (again).<\/p>\n
But Marty hated the brass fittings on the shower screens. And also urged them to rethink the curved doorway, arguing it was a waste of money and didn\u2019t look right in a flat-roofed property.<\/p>\n
Darren felt they needed to get moodier (design wise), arguing: \u201cI don\u2019t think this is what the Daylesford market is going to respond to, aesthetically speaking.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Han and Can\u2019s bathroom with unfinished tiling and unnecessary shower screen.<\/p>\n
Shaynna felt the girls\u2019 problems could all be traced back to missing out on a gabled roof property on day one.<\/p>\n
She believed they needed to \u201cfall in love with the exterior\u201d of House Two.<\/p>\n
\u201cFind the benefits of that exterior and use it to your advantage,\u201d she urged.<\/p>\n
Having decreed that Han and Can\u2019s floor-to-ceiling tiles were unnecessary in a cold climate, citing Britt and Taz\u2019s vinyl wallpaper as a great example of a cheaper way to make a bathroom feel finished in far less time.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a good bathroom, but it\u2019s not great. And from a marketing perspective, where\u2019s the Daylesford in it,\u201d Marty queried.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The judges loved the colours in Emma and Ben\u2019s finished bathroom.<\/p>\n
They saw plenty of Daylesford in Emma and Ben\u2019s green-themed room.<\/p>\n
Shaynna was impressed by the way the Mornington couple had mirrored the surrounding area\u2019s colours and textures in their bathroom. But their finishing (and lack of horizontal towel rails) let them down.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless Darren said: \u201cthis couple have lots of experience and clearly they know how to deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Mat would say: \u2018Game on molls!\u201d<\/p>\n
