The Great Interior Design Challenge 2017 ... CONTINUED

Starting this one as I finished last one...

So, Daniela I think will win as it looks like it's been written/plotted that way since the beginning..

I don't think Daniela is either outstandingly good or bad - she's fine, she's okay.

That's why the mega enthusiasm of the judges is so weird.

The first time she appeared, Daniel and Kelly bigger her up so much, I thought - 'Does she know them?' - it was just like ridiculous.

But here she is in the final - quelle surprise!

Saw it coming from her first appearance and it had nothing to do with her design - and everything to do with what the judges were signalling in the voiceover.

'Hey viewers, Daniela is good, good good...'

Bit brainwashy without ever really explaining why she is better than the others.

I don't think she's bad - but there is not enough discernible difference to justify the bigging up that she gets.

Written in the stars eh?

~Plans a nosy wander past Broadstairs Castle next time we visit the inlaws~

Why not let parquet be parquet? Also... Wall art? Mirrored kitchen cupboard doors?

DesolateWaist · 19/01/2017 20:08

Do some of the pictures she is using still have their watermark where she has nicked them off iStock or something?

GrouchyKiwi · 19/01/2017 20:09

How many days do they get for this one? I missed that.

The kitchens in this round are generally dodgy.

Cocolepew · 19/01/2017 20:10

Half the episodes, we've been diddled.
Its taking ages to post on here tonight for me.
Daniella looks like value pack Cheryl

SwedishEdith · 19/01/2017 20:10

Daniela's voice gets on my nerves I know that's mean

Why do they all build a sodding cabinet to hide the tv? It'll just be open all the time.

DesolateWaist · 19/01/2017 20:11

Exactly Edith, makes me so mad. We all sit about with the TV on. Why pretend that we don't.

CremeEggThief · 19/01/2017 20:12

Mirrored kitchen cupboard doors?Shock Wallpaper on a kitchen ceiling?Confused

I'm surprised Daniella is only 30; she's good looking, but I would have put her nearer 40.

GrouchyKiwi · 19/01/2017 20:12

I have Kelly hair envy tonight.

Those windows are fecking huge.

fourquenelles · 19/01/2017 20:13

I'm a Sarfend (Southend) girl myself Swedish and her accent is very, very south Essex Grin

CremeEggThief · 19/01/2017 20:13

I really like the existing green in Daniella's clients' bedroom.

DesolateWaist · 19/01/2017 20:14

So much height in those rooms!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 19/01/2017 20:14

Mirrored kitchen cupboards is a really stupid and impractical idea - you will be forever cleaning them, and even so they won't look clean. TBH, I didn't like any of Daniela's plans.

SealSong · 19/01/2017 20:14

What a fantastic place this castle is, anyone know where it is?

Jellykat · 19/01/2017 20:14

4 days i think Grouchy

GrouchyKiwi · 19/01/2017 20:15

Broadstairs, Kent, SealSong.

Thanks, Jelly.

Cedilla · 19/01/2017 20:15

Yes, it's taking forever to post. Has done for a few days, actually.

I looked up previous series about a week ago because I couldn't believe it was going to be over so soon - they've really curtailed this series.

I can't bear Daniela's voice either, sorry

dillite · 19/01/2017 20:15

I had no idea there was a castle in Broadstairs! And what an amazing place- I have an enormous window and high ceiling envy.

PurpleDaisies · 19/01/2017 20:16

Just found the thread-I was out for yesterday's episode.

I second the terribleness of mirrored cupboards in the kitchen.

dillite · 19/01/2017 20:17

Daniela really loves her vagina wallpaper. Why would you put wallpaper in a kitchen though? Just think of all that grease collecting on it.

LIZS · 19/01/2017 20:17

Painting over the paper seems risky. Daniela reminds me of Victoria Beckham.

GrouchyKiwi · 19/01/2017 20:17

Maybe they didn't have enough decent designers this time around? Or people willing to have their rooms ruined?

Oliver and his partner look almost exactly the same.

fourquenelles · 19/01/2017 20:18

Good gracious Daniel what sort of trousers are those?

dillite · 19/01/2017 20:18

Would say she's more of a Cheryl Whatever than Posh Spice.

Cocolepew · 19/01/2017 20:18

I thought olivers partner was his brother
