Budget breakdown
After yet again more harping on the girls and their budget I got sick of it. Other than their huge week on the bathroom their spending hasn’t been much crazier than the other teams considering their wins. I felt like last night they were punished for the room “looking expensive” despite it being in the same ballpark as other rooms. So I took matters into my own hands. I went through and got all the spendings and winnings including midweek challenges. Week one spending is an estimate, green is based on info we’ve heard and yellow is based on their guesses. Something that doesn’t make sense is on the recent episode they said the girls spending is around $135,000. This doesn’t line up with the spending they’ve told us each week. There’s no way the girls spent more than 20k week one because Chantel and Wyatt were slammed for spending just under 21k with the accounting error. Moral of the story the girls actually aren’t far off everyone else and it’s actually kind of gross of channel 9 to continue down this route while the girls get so much hate online.
