Just caught up. I had completely forgotten what day it was so missed it. Only remembered when I came on here and saw a post starting with "James didn't..." so between that and how it was being received by the judges while he was making it, I presumed he was out. But, what a turn about!
I do get some people saying it didn't fulfill the remit but I think it did. It tapped in to perhaps a childhood type fear of something as innocous and fun as a cardboard tower turning in to a monster in your nightmares that would eat you. I think it was a really clever and very well executed take on the remit. He thought outside the box, so to speak.
I thought that Steve's was a really good version and more in line what we think it should look like and Nathalie made me laugh that she didn't do scary, shes much more a "sparkle and shine" kind of gal and I loved she found her (slightly cute) scary. Shame the bits fell off.
Gutted to see Diana go, I think she is fab, both in the work she does and her herself but I think it was the right decision to have the other 3 in the final. I loved that she could laugh (as well as cry) and when she said that her hell should have been called grey and pink. 😅. There was a time a few weeks ago that I thought maybe she would be in the final but I think she was pipped at the post by the other 3.
I can't call the winner now actually. They all would be very deserving and have had times when they are on top and times when they have not quite done it. So, it could be anyone's game I think.
