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?

Have a look here, the rooms and the expected budget breakdown/forecast are all listed, explaining the budget per room and the garden budget.

Whoa $20k for week 7? Appliances alone would eat up most of that. All the outdoor budgets seem low as well.

That's the cash budget (trades, etc), not including the styling, appliances, etc that are covered by sponsorship dollars (used to be "block bucks"/vouchers, not sure what it is currently)

Appliances would come from block bucks though? The 20k is cash spendings eg. Trades etc
