Kate seems to be fixated on bathroom design. I am wholly unimpressed with these judges.

Agreed. If these are the honorable mentions then the finalists better be effing stellar.

Rolf, my first thought - "Oh my gosh! The bathroom lady chose a bathroom!"

Sorry, I try to keep my snarkiness off this board but this bathroom, while pleasant, isn't all that original or impressive.

Its not the fault of this contestant that memories linger of Kate's win last year - a wave of voting from kids in classrooms taught by her friends, if I recall - but there are so many interesting entries that introduce color into a space via more than one element. This contestant certainly does have lovely taste in tile.
