i wanted yellow to win too....and what the heck was going on with them bidding...have they decided to walk away and take the money and chattels only??? anyone know the final outcome cause it was left hanging big time and poor yellows looked really confused....

I love their little girl...she is sooo cute and I am always sooo upset when i think she is autistic cause she looks like a little angel on earth...what a sweetie and they clearly adore her sooo much too...i wanted yellow to win, so they could spend more time with her and not worry about their finances....sob sob!!!

I wanted yellow to win too and I just wanted to give them a hug and tell them everything was gonna be ok!!

What was with the lady bidding against them?! Do you guys reckon the producers planted her there to make it more exciting and have more tension?? I just don't know how someone could possibly do that!

And I agree Bombshell, I thought they would have told us what the yellow team decided to do. I really hope they get the house, I thought it was great.. and they really put everything into it (as did the blue team).

But surely the producers would sell it at a lesser cost to them?! I mean they must have some human decency..

Didn't they say that Yellows could bid up to $285k? That's what I thought I had heard. Well they bid up to $270k, haven't been outbid but the reserve has not been reached. So now it's up for negotiation with them as first option for purchasing. I think that was really strategic on their part (though all their lengthy discussions were rather odd) cause they will probably get the house at equal to or just below reserve.

They're both very careful with money, we saw that with all their budgets and them having a home business. I wonder if they were concerned about weekly amounts and that's what their discussions were about. But I reckon they'll get it. Dunno when/if we'll be told though.

I agree that they were probably concerned about repaying the mortgage each week - with a home business as their only income, that's very understandable!

I do hope they get it, I always want both teams to have their houses.

I wonder what the reserve was..

Oh and kind of off topic but relating to the TV thing..

This is your life: Jonah Lomu!

We were surprised it was him, it's cool they had a younger guy. He seemed quite shell-shocked and overwhelmed, it's nice it was all a surprise.

I hope yellow do get their dream home. It just seems so wrong if they arent able to afford it and someone else ends up with it.

imagine being that person that bought the house instead of the team that built it. i think you would be ostracized from the community!

I didn't watch all of the show as Monday is usually yoga night

But... I didn't want the Blues to win as I felt they played a bit dirty! What with the carpet layer being "stolen" from the yellows and then accusing them of using Trade people to help them for free. I've never seen anything like that on any of the other Dream Homes and DH & I watch it all the time.

Perhaps they will update what happens with the yellow team on the mitre10 website

We watched the Jonah Lomu "This is your life" and thought it was done very well! (except for the NZ Idol singers! They were CR@P! lol) I was blubbing at the end though and yeh, he looked really uncomfortable with all of the praise he was getting. He really is an amazing role model for kids and also for people with kidney problems

YAY blue.

We so wanted the blue team to win they seem like such a nice couple.

In saying that though we were so annoyed with that lady bidding against the yellow team nasty. I don't think they could say what happened to the yellow team as it was live so hopefully it will be in the news or papers when they have sorted out the outcome.

I was gutted too I think the yellow team did over all better the blue and then there were the nasty tactic's the blue team used I think that was more there designer then anything tho.  Still would have liked to see yellow win.  Really lovely couple with alot more to loose then the blue.

yeah i dont know if they could bid up to $280 or had $280 plus the deposits which came to $325?

i do think having a reserve was totally unfair....esp one obviously high enough to do them out of the house...i mean if they could buy for $270 and house is worth $325 so what....it would have helped their replayments...

It will be interesting to see what does happen....

As for - this is your life...sorry but i thought what a waste...there are surely some others other than rubgy stars in their 30s in this country who deserve it more...Judy Bailey would have been my pick!!! or is it a TVNZ thing that anyone ex TVNZ is excluded - i watched five mins and gave up.....

Anna, we did go have a look at the houses quite a few times, but didnt go to the open home, or last night. Not very easy in those crowds with a baby!
I like the look of the yellow house best from the outside.We went and had a nosy the weekend they were doing the planting!

Yeah we went to the open homes but wernt very impressed with them in real life! Yellow was nice.
We wanted the yellow to win because living in Kawerau (where the blue team come from) i have spoken to many people who knew the blues and didnt really have nice things to say plus my sis is friend with Neisha and she said that she is so deserving! - i did love the yellow house better and i really hope that they are able to buy it I formed a bad opinion of the blues all by myself though because they seemed like nice people but they had a nasty streak to them and their team played dirty!!!

I watched it and was dissapointed with the production. Live TV and they kept stuffing up the transmission so when the Blue team one it went all fussy and horrible.

This is your life, I picked Jonah and my mum and dad were saying no not him. When Paul Henry went to the Hilton and said it was a sports person, it was even more obvious. Talk about shellshocked when he was told. And did anyone notice his wife and his brother??? She didn't even acknowledge him when he came on the stage with Grant.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!
