I would have made coffee table magazine covers out of it, like covering a school school book. It was a tough one.

Cocolepew · 09/02/2016 21:32

Oh lampshade would be good.

iwouldgoouttonight · 09/02/2016 21:34

I was disappointed with tonight's, Lucy's was the best of the three I think. I love watching it but both judges really annoy me.

Slummy do you move out during the days they're filming, or do they have to be out by a certain time each evening?

catwithflowers · 09/02/2016 21:34

Annadale, a lampshade was my first thought followed by a waste paper bin.

SwedishEdith · 09/02/2016 21:36

I'd have put the paper on one side of a wooden fire screen so you could turn it the other way once the presenters had left

SingSongSlummy · 09/02/2016 21:43

iwould they have to leave each night and they take over the house in a pretty big way for the three days! !

cosmicglittergirl · 09/02/2016 21:48

How did they find you in order to use your home? I'd love to be on it.

SingSongSlummy · 09/02/2016 22:17

They look for unusual/architecturally significant streets or areas I believe.

cosmicglittergirl · 09/02/2016 22:21

Oh that's me out then! Boring East London terrace.

Stratter5 · 10/02/2016 00:05

I NEED that peeved owl lamp. Wonder where he found it.

OTheHugeManatee · 10/02/2016 11:37

He made it, didn't he, Stratters? He found the peeved owl somewhere, painted it, and drilled a hole in its head for the cable, poor thing Shock

I LOVE this show. Any early bets for who's going through to the next round from this week's rather disappointing crop? I called it right Monday and yesterday - Sarah and her ghastly wallpaper and astonishingly hideous lampshade was a particular low point - but I'm not sure at all which way it's going to go between Breton Lucy and Beardy Rob.

Though I find Lucy more annoying than Rob I think there's a chance she'll go through rather than him, just because she seems more adaptable even if she made that lovely Georgian sitting room look like something out of the Next catalogue. Rob seems good at making things but his overall room designs just feel a bit thin somehow.

OTheHugeManatee · 10/02/2016 11:39

Oh and VERY excited to have an actual victim homeowner from the show on this thread! Slummy you said they didn't pay you, but was there any assurance that if they did something truly appalling the producers would pay to make it good?

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 10/02/2016 12:10

Peeved stone owl here, Stratter5.

Very peeved owl here.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 10/02/2016 12:29

Love these owls! I liked the one Rob made too but hs brief was Parisian Chic! Grin That room had hee haw to do with Paris or chic. Roll on tonight's episode maybe he will drill a hole in some other poor forrest friend

OTheHugeManatee · 10/02/2016 12:34

I think I'd look that peeved too, with someone drilling holes in my head Shock

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 10/02/2016 13:00

Me too, OTheHugeManatee!!

purplemunkey · 10/02/2016 13:14

Is Tom Dykhoff as lovely as he seems slummy? I think I'm a little bit in love with him.

I love this show. This weeks designers are all a but meh though.

Stratter5 · 10/02/2016 13:56

I was right with AsianFrankie, so my money is on AwfulBreton to go through. So glad CodFace went out, she was awful

LemonBreeland · 10/02/2016 14:03

How have I missed that this show is back? Will need to catch up.

OTheHugeManatee · 10/02/2016 14:13

You have a 5-episode binge ahead of you, Lemon! Better get watching Grin

absolutelynotfabulous · 10/02/2016 14:14

I still haven't worked out who slummy is. Is she PeevedOwl, ParisianChic, or UnderstatedOrange?

I love Tom Dyckhoff too. Not sure about the others, though.

Definitely can't for Kelly Hoppen...

OTheHugeManatee · 10/02/2016 14:16

slummy hasn't been on yet I thought?

My favourite is Bitchy Tom the judge. The faces he pulls when the designers do something really ghastly are worth watching for all on their own Grin

OTheHugeManatee · 10/02/2016 14:17

Oops not Tom, Daniel Blush

absolutelynotfabulous · 10/02/2016 15:18

So we still await slummy?

I don't like Daniel either. He's always grimacing at something. I'd like to see some of his own work I bet it's crap

OTheHugeManatee · 10/02/2016 16:30

absolutely I looked him up. Some alarming photos of a lovely Georgian house in London where he'd painted the hallways in Cadbury's purple Shock
