My Reno Rules reached a nail-biting conclusion on Tuesday night. The tense finale of the renovation reality series saw two winners walk away with a $1 million prize courtesy of billionaire Adrian Portelli.
Winners Announced
Teams Nathan and Julia, Emma and Michelle, Mitch and Shaz, and Franky and Isaac were all up for the payday after renovating and landscaping a home each. In the end, Mitch and Shaz were crowned this year's winners and walked away from the show with a fortune.
'Can you believe you're now millionaires?' Adrian said after announcing that the pair were victorious. 'We followed the advice from all the judges and we just can't thank them enough for everything,' Mitch said, as he fought tears.
The couple's son was shocked by his parents' win, but immensely proud. 'Every single emotion is just going through my body now,' he said. 'I'm just so proud of my parents. They did a really good job and I was cheering them on from the sidelines all the way.'
Other Prizes
In second place were Franky and Isaac, who go home with $250,000, also courtesy of Portelli. In third place were Emma and Michelle, who were awarded $100,000. 'We came on this show not knowing there would be second, third or fourth prizes so we're absolutely stoked,' Emma said. Portelli called the pair 'the comeback queens' after they had some difficult weeks in the contest. Fourth place paid $50,000, which went to Nathan and Julia.
Viewer Controversy
Not everyone was happy with the result, however, with some viewers at home complaining that they felt the final vote was unfair. 'How rigged the judging is on My Reno Rules is actually ridiculous. Both backyards had identical features,' wrote one person on X. 'One of the strangest renovation shows I've ever watched. Very poorly produced. Results were extremely vague. Everyone wins and now he's just giving the houses away to people who didn't even watch the show?' questioned someone else.
'This My Reno Rules finale is unwatchable tele, get on with it!' complained another person. One more commented: 'Would I watch this show again? No. Do I think the show is rigged? Yes. Did we get to see any renovations done by the contestants? No. It's really sad. I love The Block and this was nothing like it.' Yet another chimed in: 'Adrian Portelli was a producer of the show and rigged the whole competition.'
Others enjoyed the show, with one person writing: 'Congratulations Mitch and Shaz!'
