I have seen the two guys with the black chalet before.Nice views and would have got my vote. Not too keen on the orange comeback which is pure 1970's

I wouldn't be mad about orange either but at this stage, I have had such an overdose of the "white with a grey feature wall" that I am ready for orange or polka dots. Come to that though, even beige seems daring compared to the white/grey mix at this stage.

It's on RTÉ player. I just gave it a spin. I would have given it to the thatched cottage…so much unforced personality. So cosy and warm looking. Beautiful, outside and in.

The Clifden house didn't rock my boat. A gorgeous home but it lacked warmth and from the outside it looked like a home that was trying too hard.

The log cabin was a fantastic example of what can be achieved in such a small space and when a basic structure is treated with loving care, so I understand why they gave it the top spot.

A lot of comments about liking Deirdre..I do too! I didn't see the first series…was there a judge that got the chop?

Yes, Helen James was dropped. Not sure why, she is a design consultant. Maybe she disagreed a little too much with Hugh and Declan ?;)

Deirdre is less "WOWWWW" than Helen was, which is a relief.

And she has excellent taste in clothes - I have the same top as she was wearing the other night

Been racking my brains about the couple with the chalet by the lake. Were they on 'Grand Designs ' ?

The ceiling

Where is this house?

honeybear

Great chemistry between judges

awanderer

Not mad about that first house. Too much thought and not enough heart in it. There are a few nice things but on the whole i find it quite boring.

honeybear

Was this house featured in examiner?

awanderer

Second house could be interesting.

jluv

I do like this house. I can see how those in the know would appreciate the light etc but it gives me a very liveable feel,

honeybear

10 coming up from Declan?

Not only him, I would say.

amdublin

This modernist house is my dream house

awanderer

I rather like this second house. Not blown away by it and agree about the dining table being too small but I certainly prefer over the first one.

You won! We will have to wait till the end to see if he was the only one giving it a ten (I'd say so as I didn't expect the eight.

honeybear

Oh look at this one!

Mushy

Where in Tipp is that second house? Would hate to live there, but looks nice

amdublin

Ikea cushions on the couch they are seating on. I have them!

honeybear

A real home here

amdublin

Great cottage and extension
