This week’s problem took the contestants to a former convent in Norfolk, the place their mission was to show the nuns’ tiny bedrooms into trendy B&B lodging.
It was clear from early on that Ben could be the star of the present. He turned his room into a duplicate of an 1870s railway carriage, and it was magnificent. ‘Oh my!’ stated visitor decide Abigail Ahern. ‘I’m blown away.’
Me too, though when Ben first defined his thought I misheard and thought he was recreating a Nineteen Seventies railway carriage. Abigail will surely have been much less impressed. And it is so tough today to supply these British Rail sandwiches that curl so prettily on the edges.

Her thought was to make use of the blue and inexperienced colors of the movie’s opening moments. Her curtains have been adorned with dabs of paint, and seemed like she’d misplaced curiosity midway by way of. And whereas her rivals have been dashing to complete, she was stress-free within the solar.
Almost inevitably, she was first to depart the sequence. She took it very properly, maybe as a result of it got here as no shock. As she admitted, she was fairly inexperienced on this planet of design. Which is fairly like a MasterChef contestant admitting that their signature dish is toast.
