I don't think loft space should have to be counted - in some of these the loft space is only 3 feet of reclaimed high ceilings. I really like the pictures shown, but would prefer seeing the loft, bathroom, or balconey over the wall of records.

I guess I was just confused because the comment thread from May 1 has Jordan congratulating Ariel. Also, someone posted on Jordan's that they were sorry she hadn't won. I think this may be a case where some votes were disqualified because of IP address after the round closed. Either way - congrats to the 4 finalist and the International winner.

I second other's suggestions for revisiting the voting rules. I think either a bracket, combining judges and voter scores (dancing with the stars style) or requiring people to vote for more than one (so arbitrary... but 3-5?) entries would make it more time-consuming for the cheats. I've read this site nearly daily for the last year and it was disheartening to see bad sportsmanship. Soured the 2011 competition. I know that it isn't life or death, but contestants put so much of themselves into the contest that they deserve a contest free from BLATANT cheating and over the top offensive comments. This community exists year round and usually is a fun place to read and interact, learn and become inspired.
