Dream Team winners  Liam and Rhys Almond have broken their silence over their competitors Taeler and Elle receiving a ‘villain’ edit.

The Queensland tradie brothers said the sisters – who finished third on the show –  were often incorrectly thought of as ‘mean’, due to their extremely competitive nature.

‘Outside of the competition, Taeler and Ellie were great people. I just think they were very competitive,’ Liam told Yahoo Lifestyle.

‘Being so competitive I think they just went about things a little bit wrong, and it was shown on TV. I think a lot of Australia just noticed that that’s not what this show is about.’ 

Rhys added that appearing on the show had been a stressful experience for all the contestants and was firm that no grudges were held.

‘There was a lot of work, a lot of stress, a lot of thinking about something day in, day out. It didn’t feel like you got a break the whole time you’re on, so to be finished has been awesome,’ he said.

‘All that hard work and to know that I got a Dream Home and we managed to get Rhys that $100k was amazing,’ Liam added.

On Tuesday, Liam and Rhys were announced as the winner’s of the Channel Seven reality TV series after a gripping finale.

Rhys and Liam Almond delivered a knockout tropical backyard renovation, walking away with the win. 

They scored 37.5 out of 40 to claim the title of 2024 Dream Home champions and $100,000 in prize money.

As one of six teams in the Dream Home competition, Liam’s dilapidated Deception Bay Queenslander received a stunning renovation, with the property now valued at $1.6 million.

Reflecting on their win and his new dream home, Liam described the competition as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for his family that also helped him reconnect with his brother.

‘Rhys and I are mates, but we got to be brothers again, living under the one roof,’ he said. 

Dream Home judges Lana Taylor, Simon Cohen, and Rosie Morley unanimously praised the pair’s backyard design and layout.

Only half a point separated Rhys and Liam from the runners-up, Lara and Peter Bird, who scored 37 out of 40 for their Belrose backyard.
