I'll be honest with you I am shocked they chose Cassie. All due respect wish them all the best and bless their hearts but I truly believe in terms between Frank and Cassie when it comes to style that Frank won overall.
I believe the winner should be taken into consideration on completion (25%), superior design (25%) and impression of the judges and clients. (Judges-12% / Clients-12%).
*In this case the superior design is subjective so this 25% can be a wild card if it only comes down to the colors and accessories so I will not be including it nor will I include my opinion addition.*
Cassie (32%) w/ 3 negatives
+Completed, - client didn't like color of master, +judges liked it. - not enough storage, - not enough consideration for baby. (- imo not the superior design).
Frank (48%) w/ 1 negative
+Completed, + judges liked it, +client liked it, - not enough prioritizing on budget for area behind the sofa. (+Imo superior design)
I hope the next one will take more consideration on the details sometimes it helps seeing it as to thinking it out in more detail. The winner was obvious but it seems when a host stays thru the entire process of judging makes a loop of favoring in a design that is consistent as to the complexity of a designers ability to adapt. One adapted more than the other and Frank even called out his only mistake. Cassie did not.
