Item Number SCP-1846 Object Class Euclid Exiqui Special Containment Procedures SCP-1846 is to be kept in a Type 3 humanoid containment cell at Site 17. SCP-1846's cell shares a wall with the exterior of the facility. Sensors on the outside of the facility are to measure variations in wind speed at points directly exterior to SCP-1846's cell. Scales between 60 and 80 km per hour are normal. Readings outside of this range are to be reported to the site director and SCP-1846. Effective containment of SCP-1846 is only possible when it is surrounded by reinforced glass, concrete, or any structural material formed from granular materials such as sand and gravel. This is a non-issue while SCP-1846 is at Site 17. However, SCP-1846 may not leave Site 17 unless it is surrounded entirely by reinforced glass or concrete. SCP-1846 may only be given food composed entirely of maize and maize products.  Otherwise, it is to be fed whole years of maize. Description SCP-1846 resembles a Caucasian human male approximately 50 years of age. However, SCP-1846's exterior is covered entirely in living maize, classification Zia maize, leaves that grow from its sub-dermal layer. These leaves do not undergo photosynthesis, consume nutrients, or serve any obvious purpose. It is assumed that they are purely ornamental. The subject is capable of subsisting on a diet composed entirely of maize and will experience symptoms of malnutrition if it is fed a diet composed of any other foods. Many plants of the species Zia maize that come into contact with SCP-1846 will produce abnormally nutritious ears compared to test plants, and live approximately four times as long. SCP-1846 does not have control over this effect. This does not have an adverse effect on the soil in which the maize is grown. When SCP-1846 is surrounded by any material not formed from granular materials, an unidentified force will invariably cause catastrophic damage to said material, apparently in order to clear a path between the sky and SCP-1846. Should such a path exist, this force will attempt to abduct SCP-1846. However, SCP-1846 is capable of resisting this force to a limited degree, typically being forced upwards at 0.5 meters per second. Surrounding SCP-1846 with glass or concrete results in a downdraft between 60 and 80 kilometers per hour centered on the subject. While this can cause damage to the subject's surroundings, it is not sufficient to breach SCP-1846's containment. SCP-1846 has not displayed any aggressive tendencies and is generally cooperative with foundation personnel. Addendum. All evidence indicates that prior to SCP-1846 was physically indistinguishable from a human being and did not display anomalous properties beyond its dietary needs and effect on maize. The only existing records of SCP-1846 are of its employment at the lobbying firm under the name Clint Holton. Current and former employees reported little unusual behavior from SCP-1846, although none were knowledgeable about the subject's activities outside of working hours. SCP-1846's other properties manifested on during a business meeting with US Senator at the latter's private residence. The senator called local authorities after SCP-1846 spontaneously developed its covering of maize leaves, after which significant damage was inflicted upon the senator's residence. SCP-1846 was able to take shelter in the home's fallout shelter until the arrival of the foundation. From Interview Log, 1846-2 Voices identified, SCP-1846 and Dr. Really, the gist of it is that I'm an angel. Not for any god that people still worship, though. And obviously not the type where it's just a person with wings. Which god, then? He calls himself CERK NABOTEF, that's S-R-Q-N-A-B-O-T-F, capital S. I think the last group to worship him died a bit before the Spanish came over. He's a corn god, and well, he's THE god. I don't think there are any others. I see. And may I assume that your properties are a result of working for a corn deity? You may. Working for a corn god makes me a corn angel, of course. My job, C, was to lobby for higher subsidies to corn growers. Chose the job myself. It's what sustains him, you know? Corn being grown and used. I suppose that makes sense. Are there any more of you? Heh. Well, there were. What happened to me happened to all of them, too.   Maybe there was something about it in the news. When you say it, I assume you refer to your development of several other properties? Could you explain why that happened? How do I explain this to you? It's like the rapture. CERK NABOTEF decided that he's going to end things as soon as he can get all of us angels off of earth. So we made us revert to our true forms, capitalized true and forms. He dragged most of us up. Odds are he's just waiting on me and maybe some other lucky soul. Then things are gonna happen. I get the feeling it would be more suitable to explore that scenario in the next interview. For now though, could you explain why you were protected? Sure. Well, CERK NABOTEF has all the powers of a god of course, but he doesn't have the keenest sense of time. He doesn't quite understand how it is that humans can make things. I don't quite see the connection. When he sees wood or stone or metal getting in the way of trying to drag me upstairs, he knows that he needs to rip it away since those things are strong. But when he sees concrete or glass, he thinks it's gravel or sand, so he blows on it to get it out of the way and I don't think he's realized that it's not working yet. Seriously. Don't get me started.  Mind if I give you a tip? Go ahead. Buy lots of corn, eat lots of corn, invest in corn. And I'm not just saying that because it's my job. Your lot in the afterlife is really just a function of how much corn you grow or make use of, which is kind of bullshit when you think about it, because that means that everyone who lived in Eurasia before the Colombian exchange is currently having their arteries torn apart by popcorn kernels constantly. I get the picture. Sorry. SCP-1846's claims have not been verified and may be unverifiable. People are reminded to exercise skepticism when reviewing SCP-1846's claims.


Capitec proudly sponsors this program. Rethink credit. Realize dreams. Capitec. Hello, good evening and welcome to Winner Home Live on SABC3, where the stage is yours. I'm Tavi Somakubela. Indeed, I'm Danilo Acquista and you've tuned in to South Africa's premier interior design and decor reality show, where we follow three designed yours as they transform empty apartments into dream homes at the part-of-lay lifestyle estate in Somerset West, developed by Baldwin Properties. You good? Ah, I'm good, man. As we match today, this blue seems to be the theme and the colour. Without the design duos, follow suit. Well, they're better. Get a suit. Anyone know? But it's all up to you guys at home, because at the end of the series, you could walk away with your very own choice of one of the three completed apartments as our grand prize winner. And if you enter the grand prize competition over the past week, you're also eligible to be a weekly winner in our Capitec Open the Door later in the show, where you could win either a 2,000-rent Carol Boys Vacha, a mere show ahead with 3,600-rent from Flush Bathrooms or a 5,000-rent Valance Vacha.

And as a Capitec client, you stand a chance of winning an additional cash prize, which, listen to this, has been rolled over last week, and tonight it totals a whopping 10,000-rent. If you haven't yet entered, you better do so right now. Go to privateproperty.co.z and vote for your favorite design duo there. You can enter once per day, and to be eligible for tonight's prizes, you have until 7.45pm to get it done. Ah, let's get the show on the road. This week, the design duos kick off a new challenge, but before we get into that, here's a recap of what you missed out on. Previously on Winner Home, in a daring double-challenge upfront, design duos had the mammoth task of completing both spare rooms. Had we done this yesterday, we wouldn't have this problem today. Team R&K dazzled the judges with their glam room concept. I think it's spectacular. Team Contrast Controls showed off an impressive amount of custom design in their studio space. I think the word everyone is looking for here is eclectic. And the permapieps gave the judges more than they bargained for with a creative, multifunctional room. That spare room was amazing. The judges reached a stalemate and in the end, Team Contrast Control and Team R&K shared the victory. Oh man, a double challenge and a double win upfront. But the design duos really hit the ground running there in their first run. But in this competition, there's little time to rest.  Design duos, once again, congratulations on completing your first challenge last week. It's the start of a new week and we are waiting to hear what the challenge is for this week. This time though, we want the whole thing. Stoked about the win last week and we just want to keep up the momentum and get going again. We have started off on a good foot this week and we're excited to find out our new challenge. For this challenge, you'll have to flush away all your concerns and stresses from the last challenge because yet again, it's a double challenge. Okay, another double challenge. This should really be an interesting one. Not again. I mean, can they give us a break? First it was a double win, now it's a double challenge. It's too much doubleness. Design duos, you'll be designing and decorating both bathrooms. That's your guest bathroom and your master ensuite. Very unexpected, but we're still very stoked about it because we're still going to keep it rolling as much as we can. To get some inspiration, let's browse private property. As you can see, potential home buyers are looking for quality. That is tiles, taps and sandware. The bathroom is a sanctuary and needs to be the perfect balance between functionality and design aesthetic. To add to this advice, you'll also receive a mentor with a wealth of wisdom. She's renowned in South Africa for her interior design and has also been featured on top billing. It's none other than Karen Marsden. Duos remember that every challenge brings you one step closer to that 100,000 rand cash prize as the judge's choice design winner. What are you waiting for? Get to it and good luck. I'm Karen Marsden, I'm an interior designer and I'm the owner of Karen Marsden Interiors. I work mainly in residential and I have done quite a number of health spas. It's such a different experience. Residential is family-emotional.  Working on something like a spa is a commercial decision. There are things you need to consider that you wouldn't do in creating a home. I like to design spaces that have points of interest, little surprises, something here, something there that you notice differently every time you enter that space. When designing a bathroom, you really do need to be practical. Of course you want it to look beautiful, but it does have to be hardy and durable and make sense. The type of material you use is also important when designing a bathroom. I'm really excited about being a mentor on the show and hopefully I can share some good information or valuable advice that they'll be able to use. It's lovely to meet Karen. We're excited to show her our concept and we're excited to show her the final result as well. Well I see you've got quite a nice space and a good canvas to start your work on. What are you thinking of doing here? Our vision at the moment is to create quite a lush cave-like space. Lots of greenery and very simple and minimalist. I'm planning on bringing in a lot of live features, so much so that even the bath mat's going to be alive. Love that idea. So if you're planning on using a lot of natural greenery, how are you going to deal with that in terms of extraction and fresh flow of air? Thankfully these apartments have been designed with lovely big windows in the bathroom, so there's lots of natural light coming in and also the option to open up the window to allow for natural air flow. Just a couple of pointers if I may. You want to create this tropical environment. It's going to be warm, it's going to be lush. Consider the materials you use. Your timber breathes. It also swells. So just consider those things. If we end up bringing hardwood or wood into the space, we'll definitely oil it and treat it accordingly to accommodate for the natural moisture in the wet room space that is the bathroom. Lighting? With the lighting, we're going to get all of our materials in and then see what aesthetically is going to be the most pleasing. Once we've got everything in place, we'll obviously make sure that it's steam-proof because you are in a wet room and yeah, it's going to look lovely I think. Well, I look forward to seeing the outcome of this. Lots of luck. Female mentor. Oh, great. I think that's just exactly what we need. She's going to get the just girl power. So, we're in this bathroom. What are you thinking of doing here? Well, we were thinking we'd have two personalities for the two bathrooms. One for the guest and one for the master bedroom. Okay, that's interesting. So, with our guest bathroom, we've decided to go with some of the colours we've used in our bedroom, which of course would be black. Lots of black. It's chic. It's contemporary. We want that to continue throughout. So, that's both the bedroom and the bathroom complement each other. Great. And your main bathroom? We have so many ideas. We're still working on them. For our wall in the bathroom, we're thinking of using half tile and half paint. Maybe we could go with tiling on the floor, tiling on the wall, but half of the wall so that we can do paint for the rest of the wall. And then just think about your wall finish, your paint finish. Not to use a matte colour. Use something with a bit of texture, bit of movement. And that just gives a little bit more interest to the bathroom space. I like that. That sounds interesting. I think we'll give our view of something to look at. Yeah. We love Karen. I mean, she's amazing. And she came up with some solid advice that we could possibly use for this next challenge. Yeah. Team Maureen Katz, a lovely young woman who are excitable and are keen to learn and they want great information. But they need to understand in this business, you need to be very organised. You need to plan up front. And I really hope that they're going to pull it off. Thank you. And Karen? Karen Mazen has a lot of experience. So, it should be interesting to see what she has to say to our ideas and the advice that she has. Tell me what you're doing here. Yeah, so this is our colour palette for the bathroom and that's the sort of effect you want to apply it with. And we want to apply it to the wall behind the door so that when you're looking into the vanity mirror, you're getting that reflection. And then going with a simple pastel towel for behind the vanity and then going up into a grey paint. But a caesar stone in our vanity and a bit of timber. For our main bathroom, we were thinking of carrying the same kind of language but bringing in more earthly tones and more organic shapes rather than geometric shapes and bringing in a bit of warmth with timber slats that run on the floor, on the walls and on the ceilings too and bringing in some caesar stone elements also. So, same-same, just different. I understand. I can see what you guys are doing. First, I think this is unbelievably well thought through and planned. In terms of your wall treatment, I think this is a perfect place to bring in some wallpaper. You've got some great ideas there and it's a perfect opportunity to get something custom designed. That's a great idea. And we were wondering if that's possible because we were going to paint that maybe or something. So that will save us and actually really achieve what we were going for there, which would be amazing. Well, I've got someone amazing who does a lot of work for me and does a lot of designs like this. I'll put you in touch with her. We had a very productive first meeting with Karen. A lot of ideas flying around, a lot of advice. And she hooked us up with a very cool collaborator for our wallpaper. Wow, these guys are really planned. They've got a lot of thought and their ideas are pretty impressive. They've got a lot to achieve and I hope they can finish it in the amount of time that they have. Let that inner critic out and use the hashtag WinnerHome. Share your thoughts with us on Twitter.

Now should we start with the bad news, dude? Okay, what's the bad news? We should start with the bad news. What is the bad news? I'm sorry, your chances to be eligible for tonight's Kappitech Open the Door giveaway are officially over. Yeah, it's gone past 7.45pm, but you can still vote for your favourite design duos on privateproperty.co.za and be entered into the weekly draw for next week, Thursday's giveaway. That's right, well for each challenge on this season of WinnerHome, the duos are given the task of collaborating with a local designer to create a bespoke piece for their spaces. The key is to design something that will not only visually wow their judges, but also add value to their property. We're at the Caesar Store in Warehouse picking out our unique slabs. It's like slab alley in here. All of the slabs. All of it. So this is the Xcavab, which you know quite well already. Oh yes, we've actually used this in our window boxes for our two bedrooms. We love the finish, but I think just maybe a little bit too much colour for this challenge. We're going for something a bit more monotone. What I would suggest then is the airy concrete. It still has the industrial look. It's in our Metropolitan Collection, but it's got a lot more subdued colour and base coat. It's beautiful, but we're looking for a very light and a very dark. Okay, I think I want to show you the rugged concrete and the cloud-based concrete, which might work perfectly together if that's what you're looking for. Perfect. So this is the rugged concrete over here. You can give it a feel. It feels incredible. Sure. And I love the movement throughout that slab. And that's exactly why I'm glad you're here. Because each slab is different, you've got to see it in full scale before you choose which one you like. So you can actually see the movement and the varying gradients. And I really love the cloud-based concrete because it's a great contrast to the rugged because it has the movement and the texture in it. The texture is incredible. It feels like it's a concrete finish, but it's still non-porous, so it's perfect for bathrooms. We're loving these two colours together, but we're also maybe looking for something a bit more classic to kind of weigh against these. If you're looking to bring in a more timeless, classic element with the industrial look, the marble-inspired colours would be perfect for that. So let's have a look here. Yes. These are very good examples of our marble-inspired colours. This is the Moorland Fung. This is very beautiful, but it's a bit too busy for what we're going for. Okay. How about the Mont Blanc over here? A bit more cleaner. You're loving the glass finish and the vaniness of this. Just maybe if there's a cleaner undertone. Guys, can we lift the slab? So that slab lifts and it's just like... That white edge is definitely us. Oh, it's everything right now. This is perfect, actually, because you could use it for a vanity top. If you're looking for a vanity, this is definitely the colour you want to use because it comes in a thinner 13mm as well. So for cladding, it's the perfect match. Brilliant. I'm glad you like it, that base is a lot cleaner than the Mont Blanc. Super crisp, and I love the way the vein pops. Making from Caesar stone has been very helpful. That is a great visit. We're just very keen to see how all of that looks together in that space. Yeah. Our collaboration for the bathroom challenge is with Sue Kingma from Nuno Indoor Plants. She's going to be helping us to create beautiful moss balls that we're going to hang throughout our bathroom spaces. I'm Sue Kingma. I'm a plant designer. I work with indoor plants for offices and homes, and I supply day-course stores under nursery and Joe Burke.  It's about a 200-year-old practice. It's an art form. It's a form of bonsai. The Japanese name is kokodama, which literally means moss ball. Our mix is a special mix. You can't use any soil to make a moss ball. What's the special ingredient? Aha. That we don't tell people. It took me more than a year to perfect it. Sue is an absolutely wonderful woman. I honestly wish we could just take her home and keep her in the cupboard and she can just make moss balls the whole time. You can use all sorts of plants. What kind of plants would you particularly want? We are aiming to increase the oxygen in the space and to use the plants to just make people feel better in a psychological sense where nature makes people feel relaxed. We always love getting our hands dirty and hands-on in projects, especially when you get to work with greenery. It's just the best. With the windows we have, which one bathroom is west-facing and one is east-facing? What would you recommend plant-wise? With the one that's east-facing, you can do your whole fern scene. You can do hoias, your delicious monster, your philodendron salume, your philodendron skindapsis, the trailing ones. You've got a whole selection you can do there. It can be very mossy and very cave-like. The one with west-facing, you're going to have to be more careful and I would tend to use those that go more towards the succulency things that can go indoors, tougher plants, definitely.  They are so amazing for air purification and for enhancing the oxygen in the space. I'm so excited to see the end result. In you go. Thank you so much. We are so excited to have your beautiful moss balls all throughout our space and I will be so excited to see them hanging there. So for our big collaboration, we're going with Emma, the new modernist. I mean, her work is beautiful. It speaks for itself. It's more eclectic.  So that's something that we would like to go into. We have a space in the master bathroom that is just vacant and we wanted her to play with height and dimension. We've decided that she's going to make us a cabinet for design purposes, but also in terms of aesthetic, we're bringing some color, you know. These judges don't know what's coming their way. You scared me. I'm Goki. My goodness. My name is Amita Kropani and I am the new modernist. What we do here is three things. We are dealers in mid-century furniture. We take mid-century furniture and refurbish it and we make new furniture in mid-century style. So what can I do for you? We saw your work on Instagram and we love what you do. And this is exactly what I do in Johannesburg actually. I love pre-loved furniture and upcycling of things. So we believe this is a match made in heaven. Yeah, I mean, we've got this vacant space in the bathroom that we would like to fill and we're thinking a cabinet maybe, you know, just for storage purposes. Towels and robes and tissues and toilet rolls. I mean, something fabulous but functional. I have just something for you. Let's go to the back. Let's see. I got into this because I love mid-century furniture. I love the fact it's high quality and it's well made and has a certain style so that I think it's fantastic. I know these look like dusty old cupboards but I think we could actually refurbish them and make them really beautiful. We could maybe put doors. Well, we're actually thinking of using some color. You know, we just want to create some bold contrasts. Okay. Well, I think we could use car paint. What? Car paint? Wow. Yeah, it's actually called lacquering but it's what we do in our furniture here and it gives a beautiful high gloss finish. We're so excited for our collaboration with Emma. She just gets it. It's a little thing, you know. We share ideas. She's just given us like nice palettes of colors in terms of like our color palette of paints and I'm so excited to see the final product. Yeah. We'll see you soon. Okay. We can't wait to see what's going to happen. All right. Bye-bye. I think these two girls are great contestants. I think we have really good ideas and I think it's going to be a good collaboration. Well, that's what she thinks. What do you think of our design duo's bathroom collaborations? Let us know on social media and use the hashtag WinnerHome. Some of the comments that came through from Pico, he says, WinnerHome, I'm confident to tell that I'm behind team contrast control. I know the guys are going to do the things that are unique.  Take note of the tips you're getting. I'm surely going to... There's going to be useful for you in the long run. And then Miss Page says, Can't wait to see team contrast controls bathroom. They have a bunch of great and interesting ideas. Hashtag WinnerHome. Dural says, WinnerHome, I'm backing permapeeps all the way. And then D, your Twitter handle is pike86 says, Couldn't wait for WinnerHome show to start. The wait was way too long. I can do with tonight's prize. A shower head. Go team R and K. Hashtag WinnerHome. And then Tamar says, Watching my favorite program yet again. Hashtag WinnerHome, Private Property, Samsung Mobile, Capitec Bank, SA and SABC3. Thanks so much for all of these tweets and all the others that have come through. If you want yours to be read out on television tonight, then make sure you use the hashtag WinnerHome. After the break, we check out what team contrast control have planned for their bathroom collaboration. So you stay right where you are. Get credit for the right reasons. Up to 250,000 rand based on your need. Capitec. Welcome back to WinnerHome on SABC3. We are live and get involved with the action on hashtag WinnerHome on Twitter now. Bringing unique and bespoke design elements to their spaces is crucial if the duos want to impress the judges and of course you at home. And that's exactly what the duos have in mind for their bathrooms. I'll see the students finally here and Magma Surfaces is here. They are the accredited fabricators and they're going to be installing our wall cladding. It's going to be in stone, our floors and our window boxes from our previous challenge idea should be looking very delicious after that. With the Guards bathroom, the use of the Caesar stone on the walls for wall cladding in the shower is very good and then obviously doing the floors in the same product with the same colour and the entrances into the shower is very good. Our little secret surprise that's going into the master bathroom is going to be our custom designed Caesar stone cave with our infrared sauna inside it. They do have their job quite cut out for them but thankfully there are a Caesar stone accredited fabricator so we're not too worried about it. We were asked to do the dry sauna which is one of the first we've ever done. It was quite a challenge to do. It takes a lot of cladding especially on the walls obviously as you can see using a cloud-burst Caesar stone and we just got to finish off the edges and it would be perfect for if you get out the shower and you want to dry yourself or if you need to self up. Our collaborator for the bathroom challenge is Cara Sabin. She's renowned for her custom wallpaper designs. We basically just want to add some flair to our bathroom with some custom wallpaper juxtaposing some sketchy images on the wallpaper just to add that little thing. So guys I'm so excited that you've decided to use wallpaper in your space besides the fact that it's totally untrained and is used in almost every interior today. The fact that you've decided to use it in your bathrooms is most exciting to me. It expresses who you are to the people that come into your home. So I led up the guest bathroom so we wanted like a very playful geometric feel in this room and we went with some very light colours like a very light feel, some pastels and then we kind of contrasted that with some natural tones. For the main bathroom we're thinking of bringing more natural tones with the earthly colours that you see over here bringing in way more organic shapes other than the geometric shapes in the guest bathroom. I love your ideas, I think they're great. I think you just need to remember one or two things. Number one, when it comes to colour what you see over here is not necessarily what you'll see on the wall unless you specify pantone colours for me. So I need you guys to go and give me exact pantones. The other thing is that when you're on your main bathroom you've got more than one wall. When you've got these geometric lines that are going down you need to consider the fact that we cannot get them exact on your corners because no wall is dead straight. Awesome, that's really great advice. And also one element we wanted to add into the main bathroom is getting a way more illustration kind of feel just to juxtapose the wallpaper. So just layering it on top of the wallpaper to give a different dimension. I think that's a great idea, I think that'll break with the geometric pattern and I've actually got one right here that you guys can look at and we can potentially take one of those elements out and use it for yours when you come see. I love getting involved at inception stage and helping people to take an idea and to transform it into something that can really have a large impact on their interior. Oh wow, this is amazing. Sure. This is exactly what we're looking for. Yeah, we love this sort of sketchy effect and we really wanted to bring in something organic, like we were thinking a bird or... Think about the fact that you guys have vertical lines and a bird may not work as well. Consider maybe a tree to keep with those vertical lines and you still have your organic element there. That's a great idea actually. Wow, this has been super productive. I think we really onto something, yeah. Fantastic, so let's get cracking and good luck guys. Super stoked about our meeting with Cora. We're so excited to see what the final product comes out like. Very happy with what we agreed on today. We're off to shopping to pick our taps at Flush. We're so excited to see what they have. Hi. Here at Flush we have a huge variety of products from your taps to your baths to your toilets to your basins. This I see that you're looking at. This is very basic. Your chrome would you put in like a standard kind of home. Is this what you're looking for? We were looking for something more bold, more daring. Yeah, I mean this is nice but we don't want people to step into our space and say wow, do you have any colour palettes maybe that we can work with shapes and just exciting things we can work with. Definitely, I have something for you guys. Let's go. I think this is what you guys are looking for. Amazing. This is our mere matte black range. Very bold, very trendy and we actually have two new ranges that have just launched. The first is your champagne which is like a brash rose gold and then for a more classical look we have the tiger brown. Thinking, would we be allowed to take more than one finish? Oh no, I definitely think we can. We just do double double. Surprises. A double challenge? A double challenge. Absolutely. Hello. How are you? I'm good. Good to see you. It's really good to see Karen again and it's good because this time we have a plan of action. So, is this what you've chosen for your bathroom? Yes. We wanted to go for a more contemporary look so we decided to go with this because it does scream contemporary. Very nice. Yeah, and interestingly enough it's also timeless. Black has just become the new classic. So, we're excited to see how that comes across. I love it. I think it's amazing. I love the fact that it's matte. I think it's something new. I think the lines are nice and clean and very contemporary. Yeah. Are you using it for both bathrooms? No, we have two colors. So black in the one and champagne in the next. Yeah, we are going with champagne in our master institute bathroom simply because, I mean, it's an end suite. A little bit more elegant, sophisticated and class.

And as the design duos work around the clock to complete two bathroom spaces in one challenge nothing relieves the stress of life on site quite like a little bit of shopping. Off to valance this morning. Gotta get some lights. We've been struggling to find some but hopefully valance will hook us up. We gotta get moving. Gotta get on it. Yo, what about this? Could work. It could. The Truvial man. It's a no. Okay. It's a no. So many lights to choose from. We just having fun right now but we need to get something like ASAP. I think I have an idea. Ooh. Yes, these could really work. These are the lights, bro. This could seriously work and they'll throw light everywhere. It's gonna be like so round and organic. That actually works well with our wallpaper. Yeah. And everyone likes balloons. If someone's angry, shout balloon. It works. It works. While we're here we thought we might as well grab some little staging elements, some decorative items to kind of really entice the judges into feeling warm in our space. Some dinosaur bro. And it's soap, bro. All I need now is a glass of whiskey and a cigar and I'll be in heaven. This guy, while I'm like out here trying to smell all the candles, trying to get the ambiance. He's out here doing cartwheels. Imagine. Imagine. Successful trip to Valence as usual. It's been fun. It's been so fun but now we gotta get back to site. Staying true to our to our permaculture principles and making use of what we have at hand, we decided to go and salvage some slate roof tiles from the salvage yard to use in tiling throughout our bathrooms. This looks like a Saturday night brie. Like, you know the bottom of the brie? Yes, for sure. It is. It is. But we're getting there. What is this? We are just washing some of our reclaimed slate roof tiles. So we're just getting them clean of all the dust them up and on the walls. Now, what exactly are reclaimed tiles? So these used to be roof tiles on a building that's obviously been demolished and these have been salvaged. And yeah, these are natural slate stone and looking gorgeous and we are really amped to be using them. Where is your partner in crime, Shanae? Is she busy? Yes, she's actually in one of the bathrooms now, prepping for us to get this next batch up. Do you want to go and check it out? Yeah, of course. Let's go take a look. We need to finish off our tiling. Lots of washing of those tiles has to happen before we can seal them. Shanae! How's it going? Hey Dan, how are you doing? Good and you? Good, thank you. This is looking so cool. I'm in love with it. Absolutely in love with my bathroom. It's beautiful. What can I expect to see once this is all complete? I think you should wait and see, Dan. And you should also get out of there because I've got lots of cleaning to do. Bye. Thank you. Bye. It was definitely better timing than the last challenge, but that's not to say we don't still have a ton of stuff to do, so we definitely can't get complacent. No, not at all. Yeah, we're really hoping that everything goes according to plan. And if not, we're in hot water. So it's half way mark and our tiles are going up. Our paint is almost done and it's coming together. It's all working. It's on. Okay! Yay! I'm ready for my shower. I'm ready. Ready? Look at this. Thank you. Now, when it came to planning your bathrooms, right, you guys were having last minute idea changes. Have you made up your mind? Do you know what's going to happen? Oh, yes, we have. Yeah, we just hope we've made the right decision. Yeah, but everything is coming together and it's looking wow. So, yeah. What about the contrast between the two places? Are you going to play with different styles? Oh, yes, there's going to be different aesthetics. The one we are going to play with and then the next one is a bit of a surprise, but just think champagne. Yes! It's exciting! It's all I can say. From the last challenge, the judges wanted you to incorporate more custom design elements in your rooms. Have you tried that in these bathrooms? Oh, yes. So, we have a shower in our shower that we've collaborated with Caesar Stone, which is going to come in and then we also have like low storage boxes which are also Caesar Stone and we're just in the second time around that we're doing this. We're getting a bit more confident. I want to see some more of that sass. Get back to work. Yes! We should! Every time Dan pops in, you know, it's reality-shaped time. Yeah. It's real. Yeah. And I mean, we still have so much. You did mention the thing about bespoke pieces. Yeah. Yeah, I just hope you finish on time. What do you think?

I'm Captain Mike Santos. I'm the company commander of ABU Company 1187 Infantry. So we're out here training with our partners here in Estonia. We've been on ground here for a few months now getting after some of our own training and this is one of the opportunities we have to train with our partner nation forces. The Estonian Defense League, they're working on some of their offensive operations. So what we're doing, my company has been out here during the day just kind of looking at battle positions and preparing to defend this area and we're expecting the Estonians to come come and attack us while we defend in this environment. They work on room clearing, they work on fighting through the buildings and we're just going to defend, retain what we got and fight back and make a good training event. It's really important number one for us to work with our partner nation forces and show what we can do at scale so whether we're working against each other in a training environment, where they're fighting us, we're fighting them or side by side in a training environment, we're building that relationship where we know how we fight, we know how they fight, we know how to communicate with each other. We see how we work, they learn a little bit from us, we learn a little bit from them and then we all come together, we're all better for it, we show that we can fight with our allies. My soldiers, it's good for them to see exactly how they operate, listen to how they communicate, talk about what they're doing, obviously a little bit of a language barrier but when it comes to infantry tactics we all kind of speak the same language. So the ability to fight in something like this against someone that we're not 100% sure what they're going to do, just that extra level of complexity that gets our leaders thinking and planning and reacting and adapting just makes it that much more beneficial for us. Like I said, I don't see them coming in this way with force, with these scout teams. Check the EAD, we're all getting, certainly getting GRG, do you guys have ordnance? Yeah, it's four. So India 50 is the bigger guy. Roger, take a mic. I'm Captain Mike Santos, I'm the company commander of ABU Company 1187 Infantry. So we're out here training with our partners here in Estonia. We've been on ground here for a few months now getting after some of our own training and this is one of the opportunities we have to train with our partner nation forces. With the Estonian Army here or with the Estonian Armed Forces I should say, we have the Estonian Defense Force, which is their more traditional military in the Estonian Defense League. It's sort of a militia force with volunteers that come out, they train on the weekends and they're sort of a supplement to the Estonian Defense Force as part of their defensive plan for any operations they might have in the future. So we're here training with the Estonian Defense League, that militia force and just working with them in a nice urban environment, large-scale collective training event. The Estonian Defense League, they're working on some of their offensive operations. So what we're doing, my company has been out here during the day just kind of looking at battle positions and preparing to defend this area and we're expecting the Estonians to come come and attack us while we defend in this environment. They work on room clearing, they work on fighting through the buildings and we're just going to defend, retain what we got and fight back and make it a good, make it a good training event. It's really important number one for us to work with our partner nation forces. We're here to just establish our presence and show what we can do at scale across in another country, all the training we do back home in America. We can replicate it here. So whether we're working against each other in a training environment, where they're fighting us, we're fighting them, or side by side in a training environment, we're building that relationship where we know how we fight, we know how they fight, we know how to communicate with each other, we see how we work, they learn a little bit from us, we learn a little bit from them and then we all come together, we're all better for it. We show that we can fight with our allies and then we all learn a lesson out of it. For us, it's kind of an eye-opening experience. This is an environment that most of us aren't used to out here. Back at Fort Campbell, Tennessee, we don't get this level of snow, this level of cold and all that. The Estonians here, that's what they train and that's what they're used to. So we learn a lot about how to fight in the cold, whether how to survive and how to still be effective and we see them doing that, whether it's how we outfit our equipment or how we just practice new techniques, new tactics and get into different battle rhythms here so that we can survive and that we can thrive in this sort of environment. It's a lot, it's very easy for us to train in a vacuum. We know what we want to do, we know how we do it, we drill it over and over and over. When it comes down to it, we're going to be side by side with some of these allied nations. Whether we're fighting with the Estonian Defense Force or we're on the battlefield at the same time in the same space as the Estonian Defense League. So my soldiers, it's good for them to see exactly how they operate. Listen to how they communicate, talk about what they're doing. Obviously a little bit of a language barrier, but when it comes to infantry tactics we all kind of speak the same language. So figure out how we bridge that gap and talk to each other, watching them, understand that they're doing a lot of the same things that we do while still continuing to drill over and over and over again. The things that we do so that we can just get better and better and doing it whether it's in the desert, whether it's in the forest or whether it's out here in the snow in a pretty complex urban environment with some decaying buildings, some training buildings, just the continued repetitions and especially with an outside perspective. It's it's incredibly beneficial and that's that's what we've been getting after all we've been here. We have our training objectives, they have their training objectives and it fits in together pretty well where we can all plan for a living breathing thinking enemy that wants to defeat us just as much as we want to defeat them. And the benefit with it being the Estonian Defense League, again it's something we're a little bit more foreign to. So while we expect they generally fight the same way as us we don't know 100% what they look like. We don't know exactly what they bring into the fight so there's still a little bit of the unknown that we don't always get when we're just training us versus us. So it's it adds that complexity and especially with a training environment like this, excellent training facility that we don't always have access to. So the ability to fight in something like this against someone that we're not 100% sure what they're going to do. Just that extra level of complexity that gets our leaders thinking and planning and reacting and adapting just makes it that much more beneficial for us.
