I was teary eyed watching Rachel's face when the other team won, really felt for them, I think the yellow team got a lot of sympathy votes also, (also agree she kinda put the other house down) BUT I did prefer the yellow house. Both couples are really nice.
I found those judges abit irritating, not so much the female but the two men..

I didn't vote but I'm glad that the yellow team won.
I liked bit of theirs and bits of the blues. But the yellows did need that house, and they couldn't afford to buy it.
Something about the blue team really bugged me in the beginning so I came to like the yellows straight away, I think i liked the same team that won last year. Yellow too.

Yeah Rach looked so beautiful :D
Imagine being there Jolene! It was terrible, I was trying so hard not to cry (OK.... so I did!) My mum taped it too as she was out and so I watched it once I got to their place and it was funny seeing what they had put on (and me absolutely going mad with my sign)!
And mrsg1 they'll be fine as neighbours, they get on OK. I know that they didn't know what went on in each others house until it was aired and we saw it. So, Te Ana's comments about the sculpture, their off comments about their house etc all came as a surprise for them - they heard it as we did. Can't speak for Rach but if it was me I'd still be pretty annoyed at them, I think I would have rather known at the time (last year) they had said/done that rather than just now.
I'm just so happy they have such a lovely home & got it for a good price in the end :D

They could afford to buy it. Both teams always have to save towards their deposit, aswell as pay other debts so they can get a higher approval. They both got $20k towards their deposit and both houses initially went to $200k so without taking their personal savings into account they would still have won it.

I suppose they had to go through Westpac? Because if they'd gone through that 'Welcome Home' scheme the Gvt has then they would probably have been eligible for $200K with no deposit and up to $280K with a deposit.
I preferred the Yellow house overall but I think I liked the blue team better as people (apart from the graduate designer).
No suprises that Yellow won the house though.

I had heard about that but I didn't think it was going anymore? Do you have a link?

thjats true! we were in wellington recently and looking at house prices in wainuiomata (dad lives there - just curoius) and there is no way we could have afforded a decent place there! i think the WHL should be adjusted for different areas

Same something about the blue team really annoyed me. I thought the yellows seemed really sweet.
