House Rules: Tanya & Dave's 'DEFORMED' room

'The equivalent of what is the poor and unfortunate Elephant Man.' - by Penelope Kilby
  • 20 Apr 2020

Monday night on House Rules: High Stakes was judgement day, with a big prize up for grabs - $10,000 and bragging rights.

And just when Tanya and Dave thought they were in for a chance, Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen goes and critiques their rooms.

The mum and dad from Perth were just behind Tamara and Rhys on the leader board, but all the teams were hopeful their rooms could be given higher scores from the experts to snag them the $10k in cash.

Poor Tanya and Dave. Here's how Lawrence described their lounge room with statement fireplace.

'My eyes start moving to the left and start alighting to one of the nastiest things I've actually ever seen in the history House Rules,' the pompous Pom began.

House Rules

Lawrence called Tanya and Dave's fireplace 'deformed'.

'I feel feel as though I'm looking at something debased and deformed I shouldn't be staring. I feel as though I should be looking away in shame. The fireplace equivalent of what is the poor and unfortunate Elephant Man.'

Oh. No. He. Didn't.

The icing on the cake was this remark. 'It's going to take hundreds of thousands of dollars of psycho therapy to get over that fireplace.'

House Rules

The fireplace.

The comments filled Kimmy and Rhi with glee, after all, they'd been a loggerheads with Tanya and Dave over the fireplace.

'If I had that fireplace in my home I'd be absolutely over the moon... I absolutely love that fireplace,' Tanya said, defeated.

'Lawrence scored them a six, so did Saul. Kyly gave them a seven, bringing their total to 19-out-of-30.'

Then the bombshell twist. Kimmy and Rhi were taken to the top of the leader board with the judges scores, but then, they were told that the contestants would also be voting, opening the door for strategic voting.

House Rules

Tanya and Dave.

But, the teams were gracious, and gave the other teams the scores they deserved, keeping Kimmy and Rhi at the top and giving them the $10,000 in cash.

'It feels good because our whole week was shit,' Rhi said, referring to their confrontations with Tanya and Dave.

Another of their dreams came true on Monday night, they beat Tanya and Dave.

House Rules

Kimmy and Rhi were overwhelmed by their win.
