THE BLUE TEAM WON!!!!

Yah!! Blue team.............though I always want both teams to win their houses. You should have seen me cursing the woman who was bidding against the yellow team lolz. I was going to go to the auction last night but we drove past at 1pm and it was already starting to get crowded with cars so decided to watch it at home, plus it was a little chilly for bubs to be out in the cold....did see the fireworks from my parents house though.
I like the look of both the houses from the outside but they kinda look too close to each other (hmmm but that could be just because of the bus thingy the was parked in the middle of them, and the big metal fence that was up) can't wait to go past the places next time. Gosh they're like the flashest houses on Awatapu Dr!.
Hehehe that was cousin (Thomas) who was the carpet layer on the show!


YELLOW HAVE BROUGHT THERE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just heard on Good morning!!

Yay for the Yellows

real estates are allowed to use "fake bidders" at an auction - to up the bid butony until it reaches reserve. if a fake bidder keeps going - it's illegal. real estate agencies are so sneaky!!

I think the other bidder was planted - from what I remember, all the other shows had someone bidding against them too, and I always thought it was weird.

I mean who would do that?!?!

But I guess it would be too boring if it was only the couple bidding right? So surely the producers must hook it up for "better tv" so there's that tension. It's wrong messing with people like that!!!

Glad I'm not the only one Kels

I didn't like how the blue's team member played dirty but it wasn't done with their knowledge so it's a tricky one. I really liked their (the blue couple's) attitude but I felt that the yellows really played so hard to win and while the blues were a nice couple, the yellows deserved to win.

I saw the other bidder turn to someone at one point, I thought she was bidding on behalf? Anyways, it's good to hear that the yellows got their home in the end

I think the show has changed quite a bit from when it first started. Now the house looks nothing like the state house it use to be and they show less of the building work and more of the touchy feely things.

Considering the finsih of the blue teams let them down many number of weeks I found it strange that the judges all voted for the blue team.

Not sure what yellows mortgage will be but imagine it will be around $230,000 - that is a high mortgage. I know the worked hard on the house but maybe they should live there for six months, sell up and hopefully get the reserve of $330,000 and then go and buy something that will bring the mortgage down. It can't be easy living next to the winners

i wanted both teams to win but mroe so the blues not sure why. although i wouldve liked to have seen the yellows walk away with the house at a cheaper price so they didnt have such a big mortgage to try pay.

every auction has someone to up the bidding to get it going, ive seen it happen a few times, rude really, its jsut another dirty tactic real estates use.

this is your life I was shocked to see Jonah Lomu but it was good, I think he was deserving, I cnat say I ever had a thing for him though when I was younger lol for some reason i liked Jeff Wilson (not sure why though now when i look back hehe). but i couldnt watch the whole thing i was falling asleep so only watched first bit of it.

I must say i was quite disspointed with the hwole dream home thing this year. I mean in past years, if you won the most rooms that was a good vote for you.. yet the yellows won more of the rooms, and still lost. what's with judges, that sucks, i liked the original format of public vote to see who won each room each week.

It's like this year they really wanted drama. come on telling them in week 4 that hello, neither could actually afford their houses. WHY build houses that the contestants can't afford or will have to struggle on limited money to pay the mortgage for? Why they even start off with a state house. i mean they used to move a few walls. Now they just knocked it down and put up own framing. ha, maybe they used a few bits like the blues used the old cladding etc, but they seriously did not 'transform' and old state house, they scrapped it started from scratch. lol telling them that would have put so much stress on them, no wonder it all turned nasty. The teams used to support each other. This time the judges stood in front of the yellows while the winner was announced so everyone could see the blues al happy, and hide the yellows dissapointment., and the blues didn't even stay and support the yellows through the auction. off they went into their house and broke open the wine.    it was all just drama and no hint of being nice to each other at all.

i just feel like the contestants were played as pawns and put against each other. this year was nasty.

I was glad the blues won that yellow lady seemed like such a b*tch. But the kids were so cute.

I agree with what you said Janine they didn't seem to get along like the other years have. But the blues were only down by one and then the home audience voted for them the week the judges said it was a tie so it was actually even and then the judges gave them 2 more votes. I voted for the blues a few times so i like to think my votes counted.
