Tuesday night’s episode of House Rules saw Toad and Mandy and Mel and Dave named as this year’s Grand Finalists.
That unfortunately meant David and Chiara were sent home from the competition.
In a very emotional semi-final renovation reveal, the House Rules 2018 grand finalists were announced on Tuesday night’s episode.
Following Mel and Dave, Toad and Mandy and Chiara and David’s, renovation of Chelsea and Koa’s home, judges Wendy Moore, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and Drew Heath returned to Home Base to give their verdicts.
Toad and Mandy were the first to secure their spot in the finals, followed by Mel and Dave.
Unfortunately, Chiara and David were sent home.
In a very close race, Mel and Dave were given a 24 out of 30, Toad and Mandy were also given a 24 out of 30, while Chiara and David only received 20 out of 30.
In the end it came down to Mel and Dave’s bonus room, which decided who was going through to the Grand Final.
Shockingly, David was so overwhelmed before hearing the results he began to feel faint.
He later tells, ‘I went completely blank. I can’t even hear the feedback.’
The judges give the FIFO worker a moment to regather himself.
Drew decided to fail the teams room, while Wendy and Laurence passed Mel and Dave’s deck zone – meaning they were through to the finals.
The House Rules Grand Final airs Monday, 7:30pm, on Channel Seven.
