Evan Thomas may have questioned his co-stars’ voting behavior, but the winner of the “Bedroom Redemption” challenge, HGTV stars Sarah and Bryan Baeumler were quick to shut down any speculation that they lowballed their competitors. “Well you know we couldn’t vote for our own spaces so don’t look at me,” she commented in the deleted post along with a laughing emoji (via Heavy). She also went on to affirm that she was a massive fan of Thomas and Keith Bynum’s work, and even added that sharing the top spot in the earlier “Living Room Redemption” challenge had been a high point for her.
For what it’s worth, Bynum was just as quick to make it clear that he and Thomas had no beef with the Baeumlers. In fact, it was quite the opposite. “You know we love y’all” he replied to Sarah. However, that’s where things took yet another turn, as Bynum pointed to even more drama behind the scenes. He added, “Seeing what y’all went through was hard to watch. This has nothing to do with winning or losing, it’s bigger.”
Bynum didn’t go into any detail as to what the Baeumlers experienced, but it seemed like it was a similar ordeal to what he and Thomas also endured. After all, Sarah had alluded to tension during production in her comment. “This whole season has been a battle (in more ways than one),” she wrote. Whatever went down behind the scenes was clearly pretty serious.
