Telstra leak winner of ‘homeMADE’

Major advertising partner Telstra have leaked the final episode of ‘homeMADE’ on Bigpond TV a week early, revealing 37-year old Jason Sullivan to be the winner.

Jason Sullivan has been revealed as the winner of Nine’s renovation show ‘homeMADE’.

Going by Nine’s recent scheduling pattern, the final two episodes should have aired back-to-back last night. But due to the AFL airing in some states, the second episode was pushed back a week.

The scheduling change obviously didn’t reach major advertising partner Telstra, who posted the final episode of ‘homeMADE’ on Bigpond TV a week early; revealing Sullivan to be the winner.

The 37-year old model turned designer, was the only contestant on the show to have no formal design experience. His only exposure to design was through his time in Paris, London, Milan, New York, Rome and Los Angeles where lived as a model.

Sullivan takes home $100,000 prize money in the grand finale, in which he’s pitted against 31-year old Queensland designer Darren Palmer.

In last night’s penultimate episode, the two were tasked to renovate an entire house each. Both contestants were presented with identical houses, with mirror image floor plans and both with the same “country style” brief from their respective clients.

Tune in to the ‘homeMADE’ grand finale 7.30pm next Tuesday, or visit BigpondTV.com before Telstra and Nine realise the mishap and pull the plug on the leaked episode.

EDIT: Telstra have already pulled the episode.
