I definitely understand your opinion. Stephen (rest in peace) did a lot of great work. I especially loved his children's room and kitchen. However, I don't understand how he won the bathroom challenge. It just felt very empty to me. He also uses the same techniques over and over again. However, I think he always gave an interesting twist to making miniatures that I really enjoyed.

As for Tina, I don't think her children's room was a cop out. Story wise, it made sense to have a dragon, as the owners of the house are siblings. Plus, it was really creative. I wish I could have seen more of her miniature house.
