One judge, seriously? The two in the final did not belong there, I was very surprised. I think having one judge was a big mistake. In the final challenge Cassie's living room was blah and the master bdrm yikes and the nursery nice but harsh colours for a baby. Franks living room was lovely but guest room not so much. I loved the master bdrm. I think the finalists should have been Ju and Nicki.

I was incredibly disappointed with all the talented designers as they were sent home one by one from the beginning nearly. It is a good show but I was in shock at the end of who won. She should have been kicked off after Hotel Chocolate. That was the most horrific room I have ever seen, and at that ignored the brief. The best ones that should have won were sent home. The "one" judge was very contradicting with her advice each episode. Listen to your client or get sent home....don't listen to your client and raise the bar. Loved it when Cassie's client informed her he didn't like green and she painted his business in green! Yes and how this individual won, I am still scratching my head. Nikki or Frank should have won. Perhaps with a couple of other men who were booted off in no time. Judge has bad taste.

I've just finished bingeing this and didn't watch it week to week. It was mostly good to watch and had some funny moments. I pretty much liked it, some of the designs were great, but there were quite a few faults that brought it down for me. Mostly with the format and judging though. I was also put off by some of the contestants and their backbiting.

It often seemed a bit too geared to the drama/conflict angle and it never made sense to me at points why they were in teams or why they were suddenly given random things in the brief (chocolate themed hotel rooms?!). I would have preferred to have seen more of them designing, working with their clients and talking about how and why they were doing things as they did in the GIDC.

The judging seemed really weird as well. They were conflicting themselves all the time. Telling someone to listen to the client more and design for them and then the next minute telling another contestant to push the client more and show their off their own style. There were multiple episodes where it seemed unfair on who got sent home. People were kept in when they had a bad week, but then got sent home later when there were worse than theirs. Not sure if it was the judging or the editing or both, but it was a little frustrating. I was pretty surprised by who made it to the final. It kind of made the end result a bit meh...

On the plus side I thought Fearne was a great presenter and brought it up a bit. Not sure if it was just the judges it would have been as good.

Will be interesting to see if there's another series. I would no doubt watch it again, but hopefully they tweak the format a bit!

I really enjoyed watching this show, except for one thing: Cassie the winner absolutely should have been sent home in three previous episodes! The show's major flaw is having one judge, instead of a panel of three.

Times Cassie absolutely should have been sent home:

Episode 2: Her hotel room was the absolute worst, hands down! It was hideous and the only one I would have refused to stay in if I had a reservation at the hotel. The woman they sent home did have too many knickknacks in the room, but it was a pleasant and welcoming space that I would have enjoyed as a guest.

Episode 5: The wallpaper Cassie chose for the living area was a real negative for the setting: a vacation house in a rural, pastoral setting. It was the worst thing by far of the redecorated house, which was a huge loser to the one done by Ju and Nicky - who in my opinion hit it out of the park with their lovely & charming decor. I loved their two bedrooms! The house was the best of the series, along with the yarn shop designed by Nicky.

Episode 7: Each of the 3 finalists re-did a hair salon or barber shop. While none of them were perfect, I would have been happy to go as a customer to Frank's and Ju's. Cassie's was really hideous. The guest judge said he couldn't decide if the clashing green colors was pleasure or pain. In my mind, it was PAIN. The whole place from the yucky, depressing colors to the antlers covering one large space was a real downer!

THREE TIMES Cassie should have been sent home and wasn't! It's too bad that this show didn't have a better judge or a panel of judges to counteract the one bad one they did have!

Cassie should have been gone in round 6 or prior. Unbelievable.

It was an enjoyable series but the finale was a joke imo, she definitely didn't deserve to win or get pass the first couple of challenges.

I really enjoyed this show but I feel like the judging was off. Like other reviewers have stated, it would have been a lot more fair to have more than one judge. I don't think the judge took into account each contestants past designs as much as she should have. Nicki, Ju and Frank were the best in my opinion. I very much expected Cassie to have gone home much earlier in the show, everything she did was very underwhelming/outdated compared to the other contestants. I was truly surprised and disappointed she won. I do hope there are more seasons made with more judges added to the panel.

THE PERFECT BEGINNING for a brand new type of challenge base show! However, towards the end I felt so left down.

Okay don't get me wrong I loooove all the female energy of this show, truly lovely, but there is a such thing as needing the balance of both spectrums. I believe it would've benefited with at least 2 base judges, and a guest each week rather than the one judge the whole time.

The ending might be different for others but honestly I feel she chose her in a bias stand point. Yes I get that it's " Me Too " movement area and all of this, but you HAVE to give the right kind of support and credit. Because I believe he should've gotten it; and here's why from early on he did his best to take in everything that was told to him, and would admit when something was with extreme humbleness. That kind of resolve is what a designer should have. While his competition had the worst answer to a simple question " Doy ou feel you thought of the baby outside of the nursery? " She looked confused and went " Baby?... Baby... Ummm " who answers that way??? Anyway I hope and hope Season 2 is better and more improved if there is any next time

I really enjoyed the show overall but I think Cassie winning ruined it for me. Her designs are so impractical. Her hotel room was the worst one I've ever seen. Her design for the bedroom in the final episode was about her and not the clients and how come no one mentioned how AWFUL it is for her to have used black for a nursery???!!! No thoughts of the baby whatsoever, the new furniture for the kitchen looked hard to clean which isn't good with a baby on the way, just awful. Frank should've won.

The show was entertaining but the result is so unfair. I have to literally create this account to write this review. Design taste is a very subjective thing. There is no right or wrong, but the result is just ridiculous and cannot convince me. Cassie should have been kicked out at the very beginning. Her design is absolutely ameteur and has no stylish elements in it. Her taste is very unique and can only meet a very small part of the audience.

I also don't see that she is capable of completing this important commercial contract. Feel sorry for the sponsor!

Vote for Frank and Niki.

The show's structure is very fun and interesting, but the singular judge managed to mess things up, by getting rid of the better contestants and eventually letting one of the weakest designers skate all the way to the win. The title of master should have gone to Frank, Ju, or Nikki. The end was a complete travesty. The judge had a great warmth and attitude, but lacked a substantive basis for many of her decisions.

This show was decently good, they were great designs and the people were great. The fact that Cassie won was absurd. I'm not sure what you guys do in England but your taste is disgusting. Frank blew it out of the water what a shame that he didn't win.
