00:01Welcome to Chateau DIY Win The Dream,
00:04the ultimate renovation showdown.
00:06Whose idea was this?
00:08Come on, mine.
00:09Take me over here.
00:11Over four thrilling weeks, creativity meets competition.
00:14That looks wicked, doesn't it?
00:15Perfect fit. Oh, my gosh.
00:18As determined duos battle it out to prove.
00:21I'm having an absolute nightmare.
00:23They've got the vision, skill and grit
00:25to win the ultimate prize.
00:26I haven't got a clue.
00:27I can cry, I can literally cry.
00:30The keys to this breathtaking French property.
00:34Set on the outskirts of a Normandy nature park,
00:37the property boasts six bedrooms, four bathrooms,
00:42two salons, five additional rooms to renovate,
00:45perfectly pruned gardens, stunning outbuildings,
00:49its very own orchard and even a historic bread oven.
00:53It's a lot to play for and if we lose, I'll be fuming.
00:56Three heats and a grand finale where only the best will rise.
01:02All the pairs have to do is show they have the renovation know-how
01:06to impress me and various guest judges from Chateau DIY.
01:10I think this is really creative.
01:12What a transformation.
01:14In weekly challenges designed to push their creativity and skills to the limit.
01:19The clock is ticking.
01:20Win the week and they secure their spot in the grand finale.
01:24The dream is real, the stakes are high.
01:26This is Chateau DIY, Win the Dream.
01:40Previously on Win the Dream...
01:42Wow! This guy's good.
01:44Go a bit faster.
01:45The pairs had to build their dream bedrooms.
01:49A lot is riding on this pink bed.
01:50Wish me luck.
01:52And whilst the Burgundies brought the romance...
01:55First impression?
01:56Oh wow, I think.
01:57Wow. I'm impressed.
01:59The Blues braved the bold.
02:02Super elegant, it's super suave.
02:04And both teams got one big wake-up call.
02:07And the pair winning this phenomenal prize will have to be decided after one last challenge.
02:19Are you ready?
02:20I'm nervous.
02:22But I'm ready.
02:23Me too.
02:25Feels very exciting to be at the final.
02:27Trying to guess what it is that we'll be doing but we have no idea.
02:31We have no idea what to expect and that's making the nerves feel even worse.
02:35Yeah, I'm just shaking.
02:37Very, very nervous.
02:39Yeah, yeah.
02:40It's all come down to this.
02:46Good morning and congratulations on securing your place in the final to win the keys to this quarter of a
02:53million pounds chateau.
02:55Over the weeks, you've shown you have the DIY skills to renovate a period French property.
03:00But as you know from your heats, it takes more than that to run a chateau.
03:04For your final challenge, I want you to prove you have what it takes to host this chateau's first ever
03:12event.
03:13Is that a relief?
03:15Yes.
03:15Yes.
03:15Yeah.
03:17I've invited the town and the mairee so you'll both have to host a chateau warming party.
03:24Oh, no.
03:25That's so good.
03:27Oh, gosh.
03:28No pressure.
03:29That's awesome.
03:30You'll need to think about the theme, the food and drink and give them a guided tour of the chateau,
03:37including your business ideas and your principal bedrooms.
03:41Oh, cool.
03:42Nice.
03:43Okay.
03:43Nice.
03:44Yeah.
03:44All before you give a speech to prove why you deserve to win the chateau and what you plan for
03:50the property's future.
03:54You can do that.
03:55I cannot.
03:56Yeah.
03:56I'm giving you a budget of 400 euros per pair, so make every euro count.
04:01Let's try again.
04:04As it's the final, there will be no guest judges this week. I've been with you since the beginning, so
04:11I'll be choosing who wins.
04:12That's nice.
04:13This is what you've all been working so hard for, so give it everything you've got. This place needs to
04:20be party ready in 48 hours, so get going.
04:25That's not a long time.
04:27Both pairs will be catering for 30 guests and will need to split their budget between food, drink and any
04:33design elements that tie into their themes.
04:37I've got loads of ideas. I'm thinking like a bougie charcuterie grazing table, everything kind of being quite light, quite
04:45healthy, nothing like stodgy, like a big tiered prosecco stand.
04:49Okay.
04:50Or some cool display of lots of champagne.
04:52Yeah.
04:53You feel like you've done the whole thing.
04:56Fine. So buffet-style food, what are you thinking?
04:58No, it's too expensive.
05:01Well, why it's not expensive here?
05:03Well, let's see how much beef is.
05:05I think it'll be okay. There's plenty of cows around here.
05:09I'm thinking like you could take ownership of the grazing table.
05:12Yeah.
05:13Maybe we can bring in like something hot.
05:17Potentially. Potentially we could do something hot.
05:19But maybe most of it's like cold and people can eat as they want.
05:23You're quite a good baker, so I thought that maybe you might bake something sweet.
05:26Yeah.
05:28Like a bass cheesecake maybe.
05:30We could do, yeah. We'll have a think. We'll have a think, but that's good.
05:32Cool.
05:33Yeah.
05:33We could make a little stand. Like, what do you call it? Like a pedestal?
05:38Just for decorative purposes.
05:40Yeah, for decoration.
05:41Because I don't want to skip over that part. It's quite an important thing.
05:44Right.
05:45And it needs to feel grand. It is a chateau.
05:47Yeah.
05:47Yeah.
05:48I'm not interested in garden games really.
05:50We could do some organised fun with like yoga. Like people could do like a trial session.
05:56Garden games.
05:59We'll see what we can find. Garden games are quite hard to do.
06:03Let's see what we can find.
06:03Let's see what we can find.
06:05There has to be like a background of some sort for a photo op.
06:09There's a lot of stuff going into this 400 euro budget.
06:11We could make like an archway or something or a, I don't know what.
06:14Just saying.
06:15Okay. Well, we need to narrow it all down.
06:18I think we should go shop.
06:19Yeah.
06:20I think we should go to the workshop first and just claim some wood and materials in case we want
06:24to build anything.
06:25Yeah.
06:25And then I think we should head out.
06:26Yeah.
06:27Cool.
06:27I think we should look around the property and see if there's anything we can repurpose or use.
06:33Okay.
06:34That's a good idea.
06:35Okay.
06:36So, this is coming with us.
06:38Okay.
06:39Definitely.
06:40What?
06:41After salvaging their favourite pieces from the workshop, Josh and Josh head out in search of a bargain,
06:47while Sam and Tash start work on their builds.
06:50Right.
06:50I think these are the two best pieces.
06:52Yeah.
06:52You can knock up a plinth in five minutes, can't you, and I'll start painting it.
06:55I can knock up as many as I like.
06:56Yeah.
06:56We're going to make two plinths out of these floorboards.
07:00We're going to reuse, upcycle, and then I'll paint them.
07:04And then Sav is going to make a garden game as well.
07:08Lots to do.
07:11We have been shopping, and it was really successful.
07:14Yeah.
07:14We've spent 150 euros, which is a big chunk of the budget, but actually we've got loads.
07:21Like, we feel like we've got everything we need for our table decoration.
07:23We've got a healthy amount of budget left to pay for food and drinks.
07:27So I think we're on track.
07:28Yeah.
07:29Yeah.
07:36Yeah.
07:39Yeah.
07:41You saw nothing.
07:56You saw nothing.
08:13You saw nothing.
08:14Yeah.
08:15Yeah.
08:15I love using this little engraving tool.
08:17This is going to be our plinths looking flowers.
08:21So I'm decorating it with all of the wisteria.
08:23So it all ties in together with our ideas.
08:28So we're going to drill up into that.
08:29Yeah.
08:30There's already two holes there, though.
08:31I know.
08:33Usually I do the drilling and all of this, but Josh is now taking the leaves, which is great.
08:39He's got the confidence to do it now.
08:40He just does it.
08:41I love it.
08:42Yeah.
08:43I feel like I've found my new passion in life.
08:47Gorgeous.
08:49Cool.
08:50That feels strong.
08:51Yeah.
08:56What are you two making?
08:58Hello.
08:59So we have decided to sort of set up the two tables side by side.
09:06And then we're going to create three of these, one at each end and one in the centre.
09:11They're going to create like a bit of height that we can hang some LED lighting and some foliage from.
09:16So the eyes feel like they're not just like looking down, they've got a whole thing going on.
09:21So what's the theme for the space?
09:23We're kind of trying to bring in the rooms that we've done so far.
09:27So kind of the studio that we're in now with the bedroom, the colour palette, into this garden party.
09:32So we're kind of bringing the indoors, outdoors.
09:35It's all coherent and it all ties together beautifully.
09:39So what's the menu for the event?
09:40The main focus is going to be a grazing platter.
09:43So we're going to do lots of like charcuterie board, sort of like light nibbly bits.
09:47We're trying to pick a menu that we're like comfortable with.
09:50That's not going to be such a huge challenge and that we can realistically afford and make in the time
09:55limit.
09:55We want to feel chill on the day of the event.
09:57Great. Feeling confident?
09:59Yeah, I think so. I think we're feeling quite confident.
10:02We don't want to feel too confident, but this is something that we genuinely enjoy.
10:05I'm excited to see these lights and I'm even more excited to sample some of that food.
10:10See you soon. Thank you.
10:12Whilst the blues seem bright and breezy, the weather looks set to rain on their parade.
10:19Maybe a bit lower? Like that?
10:20No, that's too low. Like...
10:25Really living the dream now. It's like a home from home.
10:29Hopefully, if it's raining today, it won't be raining on the party day.
10:33Get it all out. Get it all out now.
10:36Because otherwise this is going to be a very interesting party.
10:51It's the grand finale of Win The Dream and two pairs are competing in one final challenge.
10:56Yeah, I'll do that. Do we need some paint or something?
10:58Yeah, furniture paint. There's furniture paint over there.
11:00For their last hurrah, each pair must hold a celebratory garden party, complete with refreshments, a speech and a tour
11:07of their renovations.
11:09Ooh, went through the table.
11:11These little pieces of wood are going to be turned into tiny little tables just to put things on on
11:15the grazing table.
11:16So there's different layers to it.
11:19We want to tie it into our murder mystery room, but we also want to tie it into what we've
11:22decided to name the chateau.
11:24Fleur Violette. Yeah.
11:25Chateau of the Purple Flowers.
11:28Nearly at the halfway mark, Josh and Josh are painting their decoration stands.
11:33Do you want us to get it everywhere like that, but you don't?
11:34I will. I'll wipe that in. Slow down a little bit.
11:38While Sav is making the beanbags for his cornhole game.
11:41So it goes like that.
11:44I'm very accomplished on the sewing machine.
11:47I had a go at it in the petite challenge back in the heaps and I quite enjoyed it.
11:51I'm virtually pro level at this point, so I'm going to give winding the bobbin up a go.
11:59Now what?
12:00Do you want me to come and have a look?
12:03Yes.
12:05Preferably.
12:07Oh, I got it. I did it.
12:08OK, hang on.
12:09Try with the pedal, yeah.
12:11Is it switched on?
12:13Is the machine switched on? No, it's not switched on.
12:15No.
12:20Good start.
12:22As the day draws to a close, the pairs are one step closer to winning this life-changing property.
12:29We're already one day down, so it's kind of moving really fast.
12:34And we haven't had time to really think about our ideas.
12:37We're just kind of trusting our gut.
12:39I think the pressure's just on.
12:41There's so much that can go wrong with things like cooking and making drinks and weather and all sorts.
12:46There's always a lot of uncontrollables, so of course, yeah, it's nerve-wracking.
12:50And there's so much on the line, so much at stake for us, and we just want to get it
12:55right.
13:03It's a new day at the Chateau, and with just over 24 hours to go...
13:07Shall we go through the menu? Yeah.
13:09..both pairs have hit the ground running.
13:11We said about that, didn't we?
13:13Yeah.
13:14Whilst Josh and Josh are working on signage for the garden party,
13:18Zav and Tash are drawing up a shopping list.
13:20There's gluten-free dishes, there's vegan dishes, vegetarian dishes and meat dishes.
13:24Yeah, and we can make a lot of it ahead.
13:27Wow.
13:28Oh.
13:29Hello, hello.
13:30Hello.
13:31You look deep in thought.
13:32You making plans?
13:33Yes. We are making plans.
13:35Are you going to film me in and tell me all about them?
13:37Yeah, sure.
13:37So, we're going to be making some beef bourguignon tarts, which we're very excited about,
13:42and a tartaflette, because obviously we're in Normandy.
13:46And we're going to make it vegetarian, so there's a nice hearty vegetarian option.
13:49And we're putting out some garlic mushroom toast for vegans.
13:52We've got a caprese salad, some prosciutto-wrapped figs, and we're making two desserts.
13:58So, we've got an apple tart and a chocolate mousse.
14:01That's an awful lot of stuff.
14:03But we're here to impress. We have to go all guns blazing.
14:06Right.
14:06This is the final.
14:07But it's not a 17-course meal, you realise.
14:10And you're sure you can pull all that off?
14:13Yeah.
14:13We think so.
14:14I can't believe how calm you both look right now.
14:18You are one challenge away from winning this.
14:21I know. I know.
14:22It is very surreal.
14:24It is in our minds all the time now, which is why we are pushing ourselves to the absolute limit.
14:29Like, we have to show everything that we can.
14:31Now, you two are notoriously good with budgeting. How's it looking?
14:34We haven't spent any budget yet.
14:38We've been making all the props ourselves in the workshop.
14:40So, all the budget is still intact.
14:43The plan is to use it today.
14:45So, we're going to use almost all the budget on the food and drink,
14:48because that is the key, I think, to people having a good time.
14:50I'm feeling a level of confidence in the room. I like it.
14:54We'll see.
14:56Fingers crossed.
14:57Yeah.
14:59So, lots of painting for me this morning, which is my favourite skill.
15:04I feel very strange, because I feel like I didn't even recognise myself.
15:09I'm doing things that I never thought I would be able to do,
15:12just, like, knocking these posts up.
15:14I feel really, like, weirdly confident and empowered with DIY.
15:18Josh just, like, fuels me with confidence, cos he never doubts it.
15:20He's just, like, do it.
15:21If it goes wrong, then we'll do it again.
15:23He's a great little cheerleader to work with.
15:25So, yeah, it's great.
15:27I feel...
15:27I feel...
15:28I feel really proud that we've both managed to get this far
15:31and, like, do crazy things and, like...
15:34Yeah.
15:39Neither have done any food and drink preparation,
15:41and whilst Josh and Josh hit the supermarket...
15:44We've got a lot to buy,
15:45so it's going to be a fast and furious supermarket dash.
15:54Hiya.
15:56Let's grab it, then, yeah?
15:57Tash and Zav make a quick stop at the Bracant next door for decorations.
16:01Yeah, we're very pleased to have our little purple flower vase.
16:04I think it's very cute and apt.
16:06Before joining them...
16:07Some nice clothes in it.
16:09Tash, we are not shopping for clothes for kids.
16:11I know, but...
16:13Nice bits.
16:14You've got three little boards, haven't you?
16:16OK, yeah.
16:16So you've got three of everything.
16:17OK.
16:18Well, we definitely want a brie.
16:20Not a brie, a camembert.
16:21We want a blue cheese.
16:23Camembert de Normandy.
16:24That looks fab.
16:25This is expensive, so it must be good.
16:27That's my method.
16:29I only like cheddar.
16:32So this is...
16:33I have no idea.
16:36So that's £12.50 on berries.
16:39Yeah.
16:40Feels like being at home with the kids.
16:42Look at all this anxiety.
16:44Well, we've budgeted €70 for our platter,
16:47and we've already spent £88.50.
16:50And we've only got two items on the cheese board list,
16:53and there's currently one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
16:55eighty-nine, twenty items to go.
16:58Garlic.
16:58Is that garlic?
16:59That's garlic.
17:01Holy...
17:02That's French garlic.
17:03That is some good-looking garlic.
17:06Red onion.
17:07Is that an onion?
17:09Cucumber.
17:10Is it fruit?
17:11Is it a veg?
17:13Thyme?
17:14Nope.
17:15Thyme.
17:15Chives?
17:16That's mint.
17:17Mint.
17:18So what's this?
17:19That's chives, I think.
17:20Is it?
17:21Yeah.
17:22I think I know what basil looks like.
17:24I'm going to go over here and find some basil.
17:27Mmm.
17:28Lots of different kinds of beef.
17:31Yeah, we could use that.
17:33Special offer as well.
17:35Yeah, go and get them.
17:36Show them in.
17:37I'm bored of shopping now.
17:39What do I know about wine?
17:43I know I drink it.
17:45Er, I don't know.
17:45This one could do for cooking.
17:46It's five euro or something.
17:54I don't know.
17:54So there's some things like this, which is like a box.
17:57It has different things in it.
17:58That's three euros.
17:59I think you should get Ritz.
18:00Ritz?
18:01We need something nicer.
18:02I think so.
18:03What about tuk?
18:05Tuk?
18:06They don't have the same selection, so I'll do.
18:08I think this is good sour cream and onion.
18:09Great.
18:10What about something like these?
18:11Cheese and fromage.
18:12What about these?
18:13These are cheap.
18:14We're getting these.
18:15We'll get them as well first.
18:16We need some more plain and look nice, Josh.
18:19We're getting tuk.
18:20Are they not good?
18:22Yeah, they are, but I'm just looking for other things.
18:23We're getting the balance here.
18:25We're going for really high-quality meat,
18:27going for a mid-quality cheese.
18:28We're going for cheap crackers.
18:30It's all about balance, guys.
18:31Balance.
18:33Where is fizz?
18:34I think it's over here, maybe.
18:36With both pairs having spent money on their decorations,
18:39their food shop bill must fall within their remaining budget.
18:43It's a tense moment.
18:45I don't think you've got any...
18:47That's tight.
18:47I think you're going to run out of money.
18:48No, we have 382.
18:51Well, we'll see.
18:53Oh, 247.
18:54Right.
18:55OK, what are we losing?
18:56I think we can lose something.
18:58What, like?
18:59We're about 10 euros over.
19:01I think we need the jars more than the dip.
19:03What?
19:03No, they're for the cheeses.
19:05Are you joking?
19:05What do you want to lose?
19:08I could change that rum for one bottle of rum.
19:10One cremo, one red, one wine.
19:12Get rid of it.
19:13Wait, are we going to be able to fold the bread tomorrow?
19:15We can't fold the...
19:17We've got bread?
19:17No, we didn't.
19:18We said we're going to go and get that tomorrow
19:20from the local bakery.
19:21OK.
19:22So, I don't think we need these jars.
19:24OK.
19:24Losing the jars.
19:25Yeah, we can...
19:26I think so.
19:26OK, we'll take this off.
19:27And this off.
19:29My head's mashed.
19:33I got the budgeting wrong.
19:34I think Tasha didn't tell me about some of the things
19:36she put in the box.
19:39Yeah.
19:40With both budgets back on track, back at the Chateau, they carry on with their party prep.
19:45For this challenge, the pairs have access to a fully equipped catering kitchen.
19:50just paint this little pane table and then we're gonna get cooking yeah very chill no stress no
19:59need for stress just starting on the beef boggain which needs to be cooked today i've never cooked
20:06for this many people before so very daunting what do you reckon the making something to do with
20:12potato dauphin white potato kind of thing i think tashadzav will be really good hosts yeah i think
20:18you know they're both lovely charismatic people very kind so there will be tough competition
20:22there's nothing awkward about them too no they're very very likable that does all the chat although
20:29we are serving french food french people i think it's very fitting to have some of our favorite
20:34things on the menu because this is slightly about us at this point about us winning that chateau so
20:43i want to make drinks that i like that's why we've got the bees knees on the menu
20:47when we first met i made tash a few too many peas knees cocktails it impresses the ladies let me
20:54tell you
21:02so we're going to start by baking the cheesecake josh makes a really good cheesecake he's a really good
21:06baker my cooking skills are fairly average i'm never allowed to cook because josh just always cooks better
21:14than me i'd rather cook so then when he gets he gets home from a long day's work he didn't
21:20have to
21:20do anything he can just chill my job is the bins josh has never touched them bins in his life
21:24i just put
21:25stuff in them oh hey guys hello smells good smells very good as zav and tash progress with their menu
21:39the joshes start work on their cheesecake tool so that's that's it that's the one's done
21:46my role is measuring passing
21:49passing it brings the fun to the kitchen and when i'm being serious being like don't touch that don't
21:56touch that he brings josh
22:01josh i'll dust you down bless him if we weren't here i'd probably kill him like that
22:12you would oh god you got good right what else can we do
22:19here he comes to stare the path
22:22oh look at this you're all working together what are we making tash we're making beef bourguignon and
22:29tartar flat you're preparing a very traditional french dish to serve to french people yeah is that
22:36wise or risky it's one of our favorites and we cook it all the time otherwise we wouldn't be doing
22:41it so tash has a great buff are we all cooking something we're familiar with we're making the
22:48bass cheesecake which i've done quite a few times um and then we're doing like a charcuterie board which
22:53we have done but just not on this scale before this is fun isn't it because usually you don't play
22:58it safe it feels like you're raining in a little bit for this challenge i think because it's the final
23:03we wanted to um just manage our time and expectations um not stress out and we wanted to both be
23:09like
23:09present front of house when the party actually starts we didn't want someone to be kind of like
23:12stuck in the kitchen well i can't wait to taste all of these dishes crack on thank you
23:21whoa that's too hot that's way too hot get it out of the pan as the day draws to a
23:27close they all
23:27squeeze in the last few minutes of prep before the big day i think it'll only dawn on us when
23:34we go
23:34home tonight but that's this is our final sleep before judgment day yeah it's really sad in a way
23:40because it's the end yeah we don't want it to end that is going to be our honey syrup for
23:49the bees knees
23:50we're trying to hold our nerve i think is how i'd describe it it's a very very big day coming
23:55up
23:56we want to just do ourselves proud and we're pushing ourselves to the limit as we always do and
24:01yeah yeah hopefully we'll get it all across the line
24:15it's the final day of the competition and two hours until the guests arrive both pairs have one
24:21last opportunity to convince me they deserve to win the chateau of their dreams
24:27nervous trying to distract myself by cooking best way to stay nerve-free when i chop my finger off
24:35whilst keen to impress with their food and drink provisions the pairs will also give a speech in a
24:41guided tour of the property the bowl's cold so it i'm just trying to it's right it's got to warm
24:47it up
24:48it's got to rub that cheese i'm not sure about this i am just finishing off this tablecloth
24:56and then i've got to do one more tablecloth and then i'm on to cooking and decor basically
25:01i think sewing is definitely the calmest job that's available to do today so i've very cleverly
25:06given it to myself that's lovely that and the lemon in that is so good burnt some sugar this time
25:12i'm going to try and keep an eye on the caramel so he has a bag of nerves today
25:18that goes in there and then we need pastry he's not his usual jokey self i think he's
25:22taking today very seriously he knows what's on the line he knows what's at stake and it's not funny
25:27so i think he's he's working very hard
25:33i think you're being a bit stingy there to get a good scoop you can go over the top of
25:36mine i'm
25:37just trying to make sure that everyone has got something get it on get it on thick this is the
25:42final push it is the last thing to go in the oven we're almost there it's definitely brightening up a
25:52little bit oh the sun is that the sun oh as we said that the sun the sun the sun

35:59mesdames et messieurs monsieur le maire chers amis de longue date et nouveau ladies and gentlemen mr
36:07mayor treasured friends old and new we are xavier and tasha and we wanted to explain for those of you
36:14who don't know us a little bit about how we got here today years ago after we first met we
36:20started
36:20dreaming of moving to france owning a chateau and restoring it to its former glory we have two
36:26children together and although it's been incredibly difficult to be away from them we want nothing more
36:31for them than a future in which they can play on this beautiful lawn and become part of the very
36:35fabric
36:36of this amazing town we have been engaged for two years and winning would give us the opportunity to
36:42finally walk down the aisle using this chateau and its grounds as the venue and for incredible memories
36:52to be made sorry ah finally we believe we deserve to win the keys to this stunning property as we
37:03have
37:03poured our heart and soul into learning the perseverance skill and passion it takes to run a
37:07successful chateau and know we would do this building and its town very proud for generations to come
37:13thank you
37:19well done guys thank you so much zav and tash i think everybody here can see how much this means
37:28to you
37:29over to you josh and josh
37:40bonjour hello thank you for being here and sharing this moment it means the world to us
37:46this chateau is more than a building more than a prize it's a turning point for us a new beginning
37:54the past few years have been challenging for us we know what it feels like to be lost
37:59to feel like you don't belong or feel like you're losing your purpose
38:09this competition has helped us to find purpose again and with that we found new joy
38:23we've been able to discover more about ourselves and being able to express ourselves in a new way
38:28this time not through dance but through renovation through design building making and we've absolutely
38:34loved it the world can feel scary sometimes so we want this chateau to feel like a safe haven
38:42we want everyone to feel special here to feel seen and to feel heard and this chateau's future will
38:48be built with that in mind so thank you for being a part of this moment this potential beginning of
39:04something special
39:05i think it's clear to everybody here today how much this means to both of these pairs unfortunately
39:15there's only one chateau and there can only be one winner so i've got to go away have a good
39:21hard think
39:23and announce who wins shortly well done thank you thank you
39:30sorry thank you
39:33well done
39:38was that okay yeah it's amazing it's so good
39:43even though we've got this far i don't i still don't think we've let ourselves fully believe that
39:48this could happen for us i think we're trying to protect ourselves as much as we can but it's
39:52strange because it feels like i don't know it feels very it feels so incredibly close
39:58i really think we've put our all into this one this is everything we've been building towards we've
40:03put on the line today so i can't do much more yeah
40:11as the heavens open once more all that's left to do is wait
40:17i can't quite believe the competition is coming to an end both pairs have given it everything and in
40:24this final week they delivered a master class in renovation it's incredibly impressive what we've seen
40:30has just uh blown my mind zav and tash have tackled each challenge with boundless creativity
40:38this marks the spot we found an x here seizing opportunities to push their limits and refine
40:44their skill set there's definitely a lot of effort that's gone into that and it does look really good
40:49whilst never playing it safe i honestly don't know how they did that in six days because of the attention
40:55to detail josh and josh leveled up their skill base with fearless flair they demonstrated so
41:01many different skill sets they pushed design boundaries it is a statement piece it's super
41:06elegant it's super suave while staying true to their signature bold aesthetic everywhere you look
41:12there's something else going on and catching the eye taking into account all the judges feedback
41:18i've made my decision time is up so much at stake well done finalists and thank you to our wonderful
41:28guests for attending the first ever event at this chateau i think you'll all agree they've done a
41:33fantastic job over the summer you've shown us exactly what you're capable of but you really didn't need
41:46to bring the british weather with you to the final zav and tash your confidence has grown exponentially
41:54over the weeks and it's really warmed my heart you never shy away from a challenge and you've attacked
42:00every renovation with boundless energy and creative solutions josh and josh your aesthetic taste and
42:10attention to detail has really impressed me as a designer and if you won the chateau he would stamp your
42:16personality all over it how much each of you want to win this dream is clear but i want all
