Which team will score a $1 million payday?

The My Reno Rules live Grand Finale is here!

After months of emotional highs and lows, fierce competition, and jaw-dropping renovation reveals, the My Reno Rules live Grand Finale is here!

In Tuesday night’s live Grand Finale, the winning team – decided by My Reno Rules judges Neale Whitaker, Julia Green, and Simon Cohen – will walk away with an incredible, life-changing $1 million.

But with only two points separating the top and bottom teams after the judges’ final scoring, it’s going to be a tight race to the finish.

Victorian husband-and-wife team Nathan and Julia head into the Grand Finale at the top of the leaderboard with 72 points. The pair consistently impressed the judges with polished, family-friendly spaces. But will they nail their backyard?

Mother-daughter duo Emma and Michelle sit in second place with 71 points, having redeemed themselves from their disastrous bathroom reveal after scoring two perfect 10s for their living, dining, and laundry zones last week.

Young couple Mitch and Shaz, also sitting on 71 points, entered the competition as frontrunners, delivering bold styling and some of the season’s most talked-about spaces. But will they recover from their recent shock slide down the leaderboard after failing to impress the judges with their “dark” kitchen?

And Melbourne mates Franky and Isaac proved they are serious contenders, earning praise throughout the competition for their risk-taking design choices and dramatic transformations. Can they wow the judges with their Greek-inspired backyard?

But it’s not just the contestants who will walk away winners. Two lucky Aussie families will receive a life-changing call telling them they have each won a renovated, fully furnished, fully landscaped, state-of-the-art home.

My Reno Rules Grand Finale 7.30pm, Tuesday 2 June on Seven and 7plus

Bad news for Adrian Portelli ahead of next Tuesday’s grand final.

Billionaire Adrian Portelli’s giveaways company is set to become illegal as Labor cracks down on private lotteries in its gambling reforms, but a representative of the viral businessman has urged the government to “not to paint an entire industry with the same brush”.

Details of Labor’s long-awaited gambling reforms were revealed on Thursday, highlighting changes to gambling advertising. But the laws will also stamp out on lotteries operating “under the guise of” subscription-based rewards clubs, such as Portelli’s LCMT+ giveaways business.

The amendment is designed to distinguish between genuine loyalty clubs, which contain “incidental” gambling promotions, and those that “rely on this exemption for their overall business model”. Under the changes, businesses like Portelli’s would be considered “interactive gambling services” and prohibited.

A bit strange having Adrian there the whole time as host. They should have just had him there for part of it.

They should have done the backyard reveals with Dr Chris and the judges. Then brought Adrian in to reveal the changes he made to the awful bathroom and then help reveal the final scores and hand out the prizes and the giveaway.

No one chose the houses

I’m sure there is going to be something said about Alex Cullen also being brought in to hand over the winning prize after the controversy with Adrian Portelli at Nine and being sacked from Today.

The competition giveaways was an absolute shambles. It was probably not a good idea to do the giveaways live.

Embarrassing that the first winner wasn’t even watching the show and then chose money rather than the house as a prize. :laughing:
Even more embarrassing that the second winner was also not watching the show and didn’t want the house as a prize either. :laughing:

Why would they have given them the choice of cash and not winning the houses? Crazy. What’s the point of making the show? What an absolute waste of time!

Well, Adrian no doubt gets to do another draw now for both houses. So for him, it doesn’t matter.

First person was in NSW while the 2nd person was in Ballarat

I said that at the beginning.

It was just a dragged out lottery. They tried to say 2 viewers will win…but no one even had to watch a second of it to win, and sounds like that may have been the case. How sad for the show to give the prizes away to people not even watching.

Probably should not have even asked the question since i feel like anyone could of enterted the raffle

And what was the point of even having the show live? They could have just recorded it in the afternoon or a previous day and it wouldn’t have made a difference.

Mitch and Shaz’s stunning $1 million comeback

Queensland married couple win My Reno Rules

Queensland married couple Mitch and Shaz claimed first place and an incredible $1 million in life-changing prize money in tonight’s hotly-contested My Reno Rules live Grand Finale, marking a stunning comeback for the pair who went into the all-important decider in last place.

Scoring a total of 99.5 points for the overall competition, Mitch and Shaz were shocked and completely overwhelmed when My Reno Rules judges Neale Whitaker, Julia Green and Simon Cohen revealed the couple’s winning scores for Landscape Week.

The elated couple said the hard-fought win would change the trajectory of their family, with teenage son Lenny always front and centre of their competition strategy.

“I think I’m going to vomit!,” cried Shaz after hearing they were freshly minted millionaires. Mitch, also in a state of shock said, “It hasn’t hit home that it’s real.”

But it all became very real when their son Lenny joined them on stage to celebrate the win.

“I’m so proud of my parents,” said Lenny before leaning in to hug his mum and dad. “They did a really good job.”

Low in confidence after drawing brutal criticism from the judges for their kitchen design and styling choices in the last interiors round, Mitch and Shaz went into the Grand Finale in last place on 70 points.

An experienced landscaper, Mitch was determined to get the couple back in the race during Landscape Week, making a calculated decision to choose the front yard, knowing the backyard was a larger space and would be expensive and time consuming to bring to life.

But when Adrian Portelli surprised the teams by announcing pools for the backyards, Mitch and Shaz knew they had to deliver something special and Mitch conceived a genius plan to drag them out of trouble – a bespoke, architectural front yard, with a statement paved entry and a curved copper and timber front fence. And the judges loved it.

With only 2.5 points separating them from the competition winners, Victorian best mates Franky and Isaac claimed second place in the competition with an overall score of 97 points, taking home an incredible $250,000 in prize money.

Third place and $100,000 in prize money went to Queensland mother and daughter team, Emma and Michelle, while Victorian parents Nathan and Julia took home $50,000 for fourth place.

But life-changing wins didn’t stop with the contestants. Topping off the night, two lucky Aussies – Nathan B from NSW and Graham C from Victoria – walked away with a cool $2 million each in prize money.

Mitch and Shaz 99.5
