Katie & Alex Casper’s Room, Bathroom & WIR
Jamie You two are the ones to watch
LLB I have dressing room envy! I want this
Wendy Love the tiles, love the bath, showerhead, love, love love, love!
Score 25/30
Tim & Mat (VIC) Kitchen, hallway
Jamie On the hallway: Much ado about nothing
LLB I think the kitchen fitout is excellent, but the styling on those timber shelves is incredibly weak
Wendy You guys definitely lifted your game
Score 21/30
Mikaela & Eliza (WA) Loungeroom, ensuite, powder room
Jamie I love the green vanity and the brass
LLB On the ensuite: Doesn’t feel like it’s hit the House Rule of opulence
Wendy You are showing a promising eye for design, but you seem to rush some decisions
Score 19/30
Lisa and Andy (SA) Dressing, hallway, dining
Jamie Good thoughts in the dressing room that didn’t quite make it out of the closet
LLB Gutsy, flamboyant, can do attitude but you need to look for more specific design references to polish up your act
Wendy I’m hoping as you get better, you will apply the same kind of quality you had in the dressing room to the whole zone.
Score 18/30
Shayn and Carly (QLD) Entry, laundry & master bedroom.
Jamie Rethink your references, the house was built in the 80’s but opulence has well and truly moved on since then.
LLB You are coming up with some good ideas and you are happy to think outside the box, but I need to see some more finesse.
Wendy On their master bedroom styling: The biggest trap you can fall into is layering too much
Score 16/30
The judges scores are in but tonight on House Rules demanding homeowners Pete & Courtney could turn the game on its head. How will they rate their precious home? Scoring each zone out of 10, this confident dance duo doesn’t hold anything back.

The dance duo were thrilled with the transformation of their suburban brown brick 80s mega-mansion with the kitchen a stand out. “Holy crap! I love the kitchen. I love that it’s dark, and the hint of rose meeting the metallic rule,” said Pete of their new high-tech kitchen featuring a retractable range and pop up shelves completed by brothers Tim & Mat, who finished second with 29 points. Lisa & Andy’s five point advantage from their early room reveal win bumped their score to 29 points sharing second place with Tim & Mat.
