Channel Seven’s Dream Home aired its season finale last night, in a nailbiting episode that saw the culmination of months of tireless work.
The final challenge – to create the perfect backyard – remained, and while all the teams delivered some impressive results, in the end only one pair could take home the $100,000 prize.
Before the winners were announced, presenter Dr Chris Brown revealed the judges wouldn’t be the only ones picking the winner, and that this year’s failed teams would also be casting their votes alongside the judges.
As the scores were unveiled, it was revealed that Taeller and Elly had scored a total of 31/40 to land in third place. It was then down to Lara and Peter and Rhys and Liam to battle it out for the win. In the end it was Rhys and Liam who tipped the scales with 37.5 compared to Lara and Peter’s 37.
“Liam and I put everything into this. And it’s all paid off. It’s gonna be life-changing and it means the world to me,” said Rhys.
