Just been to Gloria Jeans for a coffee and I read the latest mags while there.
It is definite that they have split but they also have another home. They are in the hands of solicitors.
Also, Carol & Russell have 2 other homes - a waterside house and a luxury apartment and that they didn't buy the house from Gumtree. They bought it direct from the owner bypassing the real estate agents who had it advertised.
Lisa and Adam also have another house and all three of the finalists are worth money.
Bomber and Mel also had another house and had never lived in the one that was on the show - apparently they were accepted into the show then looked for a house to renovate.
The only true battlers were the ones from Tassie. This changes who I want to win - I'm not sure now. I like Lisa and Adams easy natures.
Regarding all the contestants barring the Tasmanian couple owning other houses, the Courier Mail had this on it's Facebook page.
JOHANNA Griggs, the host of Seven’s House Rules, has slammed rumours the couples aren’t the battlers they’ve been portrayed as, saying the claims are a “crock of **bleep**.”
Speaking with Jonesy and Amanda on WSFM 107.1 this morning, Griggs hit back at reports made in this week’s Woman’s Day that five out of the six couples own at least two properties - with one team reportedly amassing a $2.3 million portfolio.
“It’s absolute **bleep**,” said Griggs.
She went on to mention what she says are several anomalies in the magazine’s report.
“The apartment they claim is part of Carole and Russell’s $2.3 million portfolio, that’s the apartment Channel Seven put them in during the course of the filming when they’re not allowed in their homes,” she said.
But Griggs did concede they owned a second property that they bought it for $950,000 and is mortgaged for $850,000.
The Seven host also said the second home the mag claims is owned by Adam is a property he bought with his Dad in 2005.
“He sold his share in the house when he and Lisa decided to move into the home that they’ve bought together as an engaged couple.”
Griggs also said Candy and Ryan’s second property belongs to Ryan’s parents.
However, Lisa and Adam denied the claims, posting on their Facebook page:
“Well done to the rivalry station publication who has fabricated such lies. Not sure how you can get away with such rubbish.
“Once you have finished defaming - Can you please tell me where I can get the keys to my ‘other home’ and where we have been living for the past two years?!”
Apparently Womans Day is more a Ch 9 supporter magazine, as opposed to New Idea which is biased towards Ch 7.
I want Adam & Lisa to win as well.
They are a lovely, hardworking couple.
I just melt everytime Adam smiles
