The drama this year, by the looks of it, is going to come from our contestants who – shock, horror – have far less building qualifications between them than in previous years.
The sisters, having seen the show and the time pressure the contestants are often under, have brought everything from Tupperware through to medication for all manner of stomach ailments to avoid any unexpected trips to the shops . Project manager Kristy and safety advisor Brett are from SA and you’d imagine they will be able to keep foremen Keith and Dan happy by running an orderly and hazard-free worksite.
Interestingly, this year the teams didn’t walk into a bomb site of rubble and debris. Instead, it’s more of a time warp, with each property styled to look like a budget version of the Mad Men set. Scotty explained that the small brown figurine was Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy, but that didn’t seem to help much either. Thank goodness for Google.
