It’s back!!! Now with extra added Alan Carr!!!

Starts tonight. I didn’t find the first series until well after it finished and binge watched it, enjoyed following the thread on here as I did so but I was way behind the time to contribute anything.

Looking forward to enjoying this series hopefully with some viper chatter as we go along. Come on in, all opinions welcome!

I didn't like any of them this week The right two are in the final though.

LemonViolet you were right. You said Lynsey and Siobhan for the final.
Lynsey and Barbara should have been in the final. But as Barbara went early Siobhan was the better of the three.
I really didn't like Micaela's and there was too much going on in Pauls.
I wonder what the owners thought ?

I have to admit that Alan Carr is a much better presenter for the show over Fern Cotton. Michelle is very serious so the dynamic works well.

C'mon, there was no bloody duck egg in that horrific wallpaper. Also, wallpaper in a cafe/restaurant won't last long.

Lyndsey's was best so glad she got though

Michael's was awful. She has no idea about colour at all. Nothing matched with Paul's at all.

Bet they do the thing where they bring all the series contestants back to be helpers to the finalists.

Oh I forgot about that from last series, I wonder if they will with Covid ?

I think they probably will still. They managed to do everything in the last few episodes with pains to adhere to social distancing - the shots of them walking down the streets metres apart, when Siobhan comes through to the winners lounge and Lindsey greets her the absence of celebratory hugs was glaring. Lots of shots of mask wearing when working indoors.

Shall I set up a new thread for the final so we have it ready to go and then we fill up this one with chatter and move over when we’re done?

Ready and waiting :-)

The luxury holiday villas next week are 2 bedrooms!!! Just a little step up from designing half a small café!

I have lost about an hour of my life this morning (tiny puppy woke me up very early, but she’s so cute I forgive her) down a rabbit hole of Siobhan’s Instagram and links to various interiors sites and shops. Her own home is quite the showpiece and her feed is wonderfully inspirational (if you’re a colour obsessed maximalist). I wonder what her game plan is though - does she want to work as an interior designer, or direct followers to her social media to make a living as an influencer?

I haven’t paid that much attention to Lindsey so far as she never really stood out for me, her designs are always solid and nice but neither wow nor awful so in a crowded field I think she has struggled to shine. Her restaurant was lovely though I loved the seating & chairs especially.

Thank you, @LemonViolet. What does Siobhan do for a living? I agree that it's a shame Barbara went early. Lynsey's was definitely the best. I'm not sure what Micaela was trying to do, and I didn't like Paul's at all. I thought the guest judge was very nice and positive.

I recorded it, I can't wait to watch tonight. It sounds like marmite to me!

The effort Siobhan puts in to her personal "look" is jaw dropping.
I couldn't be doing with that. Far too much effort for me.

She works part time for the NHS in communications and engagement.

Siobhan is on Bargain Hunt for the red team this morning!

Micaela has popped up on Money for nothing!
This is the current series, so not sure when it was filmed...

Ha it’s like contestant spotting all over the telly! There are people who go on every show aren’t there.

How did Siobhan do on BH?

I know! I can't imagine her just showering and putting on joggers.

@covetingthepreciousthings - thanks

I saw Siobhan on BH, four. Her look was a lot more toned down. I wonder if some want to be tv personalities rather than interior designers...

How did Siobhan do on BH?

She made £20 but the blues made over double that!

My next door neighbour was on Impossible recently (BBC day time quiz show) and he had to sign something that said he would not apply for other TV stuff for the next 18 months. So not sure how far apart these appearances are. She was considerably toned down on BH.

Just watched on catch up.

I hated Quiff boys effort. That wallpaper killed it and I felt for him over the lights but they wouldn't have saved it.
Michaela I'm still not sure. She was a lot more creative than she had been and I liked the feel. I wondered how many people would have sat there thinking, does this go, while waiting for food.

Siobhan and Lyndsay I loved the way they tied it together while still keeping things individual, at least they talked. Lyndsay really deserved that first spot hers was the best.
I hated the mural but that's easily painted over. Liked the glass holder and copper counter.

Will head to final thread with excitement.

I’ve decided to rewatch the earlier episodes to watch the “journey” 🤢 of the finalists now we know who makes it through. Am on ep1 again now. Things seem so basic compared to where they get to!

@Cocolapew

Lyndsey's was lovely. Michaelas was like a garden center cafe from the 80's.

I was trying to work out what it reminded me of and you hit the nail on the head, Coco!

I should be a judge

Loved Lyndsays and am so glad she got through. Didn't like Siobhans so much, but better than the other twos, so for me, the right two went through. Looking forward to the final. I wonder how much gold leaf Siobhan will get on her this time🤔

Did anyone else spot siobhan on bargain hunt today? She had natural ish hair. Was on with her mum

I just caught up with this wee's episode- what on earth were Paul and Michaela thinking? Their designs were monstrous. 0 communication between the two. 0 colour coordination within their own, nevermind each other's schemes. 0 taste. It was just bad.

I wasn't keen on Siobhan's either, although I am glad that they found the missing burgundy paint form last week. Lynsey's was the best- it just looked inviting and right.

Next week will be exciting!
