May The Best Home Win - no thread yet?

[said]

Can't believe there's no thread on this yet. It's open house (boom boom) on just sneering at other people's houses.

I catch it some days. Some places are impressive, but I'm surprised how alot are actually really ordinary...

The place with the puppets today - gahhhh!

Ha, I know.

Only seen it a few times but the houses I like best and think of as obvious winners never win

i can never get over how boring people are in their own homes. really hardly anything individual, it's quite depressing, then eveyone eats those bloody cupcakes at the end

I quite like that some are boring but they often score highly.

The first one seems to set though tones as to whether there is champagne or not. And, yes more bloody revolting cupcakes

Quite a lot of them claim to be interior designers but their houses look like they have got the lot from Next. I love the quirky ones like the artist woman from the last series who had an old east end pub turned into a home/studio.

Yesterdays artist bloke was interesting

Urgh, the sandwiches in the non-working fridge

Some shockers today!

I'm not sure the premise of this programme works. Surely you mostly give high points to houses that are the same taste? WAG/blingy type house lovers won't vote highly for F&B/Toast catalogue style houses.

Lots of interior designers with tasteless, ugly houses. Lots of property developers with one BTL. Lots of deluded people.

I LOVE it, I am considering giving up work to watch it. That horrible woman today with the flocked wallpaper, the sneery one. Brilliant.

It's Come Dine with Me
But for houses my student niece loves it so it will be mega I reckon

Some of the people/houses have been on other things. I am sure I've seen one of the women from yesterdays before and in the last series they had a couple who had been on House Gift. Its like they can't stop showing off

Lee from yesterdays programme used to work in Faliraki and was in 'Club Reps and Club Reps -the workers' .
Leighton Denny (as in the nail varnishes ) was on a previous series .

YY, what is it about these bonkers people who have to show off? I've seen some of the houses from the last series in interiors mags and other shows. And so many Z listers now seem to have started off on Bargain Hunt and the like.
Odd. It wouldn't surprise me if they had children just to dial Nanny 911

I just watched the episode in Manchester and was a bit disappointed by the lack of mad bling. It seemed to be four very nice people being very nice to each other about their different tastes in home decor - even the OCD man with the crocodile in his front room.

I'm now looking round my house trying to decide if it would score highly or not. The fact there's a hole in one wall of my living room might suggest it wouldn't...

oh i thought i saw the leighton denny one but it didn't register, did he give the prize money to charity iirc?

one contestant in the bedford one yesterday (elaine?) was slightly sneery, but her house lacked anything original in it. i wonder if some people just want to show off how huge their house it . the 70s girl's house was a bit crackers but still more interesting than lots of magnolia.

really do enjoy watching this

Did anyone see yesterdays (Tues) one? I arfed at the two bling and buddha queens getting a cats bum face about the retro house winning
