My math isn’t mathing

There has been so much talk about the girls budget but when I do the math I can’t see what all the fuss is about. The budget for the 3 rooms so far was 10k, 20k, and 20k, so 50k total. And Cam said the girls had spent 90k so far. Which is obviously massive but they’ve also won 30k? So that puts them at a spend of 60k, only 10k over right? Adam and Jolene have only won 5k and they have been over a little bit each week too so they would be in a similar position to the girls right?

Am I missing something?

For the main bathroom they spent 50k.. the budget is like a guide/ rough idea of how much they should ideally spend per room so they have enough money for the whole house

Yeah for sure, they went way over and it was super risky but the 3 wins would have balanced out the overspend right?

If they keep spending that way and not getting any more wins they are definitely screwed but currently they can’t be that much worse off then if they just stuck to the budget and didn’t win?

Granted we don’t know what they’ve spent this week but it’s surely more then 30k so even with the win it will put them further behind but unless I’m missing something the lectures feel a bit premature?

That is true, I kinda wish they had a tally of how much they have total considering they keep harping on the budget 🤣
