SCOTTY: Previously... MAN: Whoa!
..kids' rooms got judged...
It's just blowing my mind
how they've had the time to do this.
..and with a perfect 30, Steph and Gian won -
no surprises, with those scores for the fourth time this season.
Just overwhelmed. I'm shocked. I have no words.
I'm grateful. I can't.
Expert judges handed out the Kids' Choice Award.
The winner of the Secret Gnome is...
Climbing wall.
..the climbing wall! (LAUGHS)
That was a nice little surprise. Yeah.
And poor old Kyle and Leslie came last yet again.
LESLIE: It's just...
(DRAMATIC VIOLIN MUSIC)
Yeah, I'm not feeling great, to be honest.
Tonight...
Oh, my god!
..it's the final week inside the houses.
Budget's looking, actually, cooked.
MAN: Are you worried?
Very worried.
Blockheads have to do a bathroom...
Brett's going around calling himself the 'Bathroom King'.
..and their redo rooms.
Eliza, please do some work! ELIZA: I am!
It's hectic... (MEN EXCLAIM)
..but nothing gets in the way of a good time.
(LAUGHS) Here comes... here comes the aeroplane.
WOMAN: Get him, Keith!
Give me that bloody thing, would you?
And sad news from home brings Steph to her knees.
(CRIES) I don't know. There's many things going on in my head.
(GUITAR TWANGS)
(SEAGULLS SQUAWK)
(THUNDER RUMBLES, WIND WHISTLES)
(MELANCHOLY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Last night's judging of kids' rooms was tough on one house in particular.
And how were the kids' rooms?
Uh...we liked them. The judges didn't.
Kyle and Leslie have been copping it for a while.
They haven't won in nine weeks,
and they've come last three times, including last night.
(SIGHS) Yeah. Same (BLEEP) story every Monday.
Yes. How's Les?
In bed.
(MELANCHOLY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Morning!
MAN: What a vision you are this morning.
Thank you. WOMAN: I live here too now.
MAN: Last night the judges had a lot to say about your place, again.
I mean, are you just over that now, or...?
Yeah, I guess you feel, like, a bit of a silly goose,
you know, at the end of the day,
because I could not understand our comments in the slightest.
They spoke about our layout upstairs,
and whether that's gonna work now.
What?!
We know that space says luxury,
and all that's going through my mind
is how cramped the master bedroom feels when you walk in,
and someone would walk in here, going,
"Oh, the kids have more room than me."
You'll really need to get the connecting spaces working well
to convince them on the layout
and the amount of space that you have attributed
to each room on this level.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Like, I just think comments like that are just to unnecessary,
because it's...the floorplan that you have,
and you're working well within the constraints that you have.
What - should I put an extra level up?
I...what does layout have to do with anything?
# You say you wanna be a star... #
Yeah, I don't know.
# But the city is so dense and lonely... #
Steph and Gian, on the other hand, well, they've won four times,
and last night they scored three tens along the way.
30 out of 30! Perfect score!
And by the way, it's a 40-grand night.
That's... That's insane!
That is Big Bikkies! It's crazy, Scotty. It's crazy.
It's crazy!
Steph and Gian, they are not missing at the moment.
They've just recently grabbed the Domain Buyers Jury, worth 50 grand,
and they just walked away from judging with three tens
and $40,000 to go on top of that.
Steph and Gian have $100,000 extra than everyone else.
Oh, that's... Steph and Gian's win...
It's a lot to swallow. Yeah.
Steph really struggled this week,
and we all rode the wave with her, because we're all close with her,
but...yeah, I don't know.
Maybe I need to focus a bit of my energy back into House One.
OK, let's see what all the fuss is about.
It's Domain's Open for Inspection,
and we'll start with the two rooms in House Four
our judges deemed perfect.
Whoa!
What a room.
# Is you, my love... #
(UPLIFTING POP MUSIC CONTINUES)
I'm obsessed with our rooms.
I just couldn't stop thinking about our rooms, to be honest.
(LAUGHS)
Diamonds are made under pressure.
This is one shimmering diamond.
It is.
(UPLIFTING POP MUSIC CONTINUES)
Oh, cute!
BRETT: Yeah, wow, that looks fan! Stylish, man.
It does.
They smashed it.
Execution, layout.
Stunning styling, as per usual, from Steph.
(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
ELIZA: The lights are amazing.
The layout's cool with, like, the one bedhead across the two beds,
and I love the fact that they've used stickers on that wall
so you can literally peel it off so easily.
She's so smart.
Look at the little beanbag.
(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
BRETT: Cute!
I was just like, "Man!" Mmm.
I wanted to fault it, and I couldn't.
No, you couldn't. She absolutely smashed it.
That is spot on.
Very, very cute!
(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)
Ohh! Wow, OK, this is nice!
Holy moly!
I think it was very in keeping with Steph's style.
And the rooms looked beautiful. They were picture perfect.
Oooh, la, la. Oh, wow!
The finishes are beautiful, actually.
LEAH: Look at that flower!
That's beautiful! Yeah.
Oh, my god!
Feels a bit creaky. Oh, this is nice!
Is it a space that I can see kids running in
and being really excited about the space?
Probably not.
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
The brief is two kids' rooms.
Is it an older kid's room or...?
Um, I think it was a pre-teen.
Do I believe that our rooms are better? Yes.
I just think that our room kind of deserved a ten.
'Cause I just look at this and go...
..why not us?
Worthy of tens, you reckon?
(JAUNTY MUSIC CONTINUES)
Um...probably.
As great as Steph and Gian's rooms were,
they're not worth 40K more than anyone else,
and it really changes the whole dynamic of what we're here to do,
and essentially, just becomes a one-horse race.
Yeah, happy for her. Very bitter. (CHUCKLES)
Alright, let's go.
Hooroo.
LESLIE: Good job! Good job!
('SUGAR, SUGAR' BY THE ARCHIES PLAYS)
Next up is House Two, who came second with 28.
Oh! Oh! (LAUGHS)
# Sugar
# Oh, honey, honey... #
You know what, these are two kids rooms on high energy
that we might need a little meditation pod somewhere. (LAUGHS)
LEAH: With a kids' room,
it was the one space to go really out there
and sort of bring it back to your inner child,
and what children would love and enjoy.
(WONDROUS MUSIC BUILDS)
Oh, my gosh.
Imagine being a kid and, like, using this little area.
That feels pretty solid.
I really wanna climb it.
# Climb every mountain... #
(LAUGHS)
House Two is very consistent in creating time capsule pieces.
Yeah.
Understandably, kids would absolutely love it.
And also why I wanted to be in there.
I got to the top of the rock climbing wall, just saying.
Oh, my god, I can't believe that holds 150 kilos.
(BRETT LAUGHS)
MAN: One big kid.
Hey, Google, play Ginuwine - 'Pony'.
GOOGLE ASSISTANT: Alright, 'Pony' from Spotify
playing on Girl's Room Speaker.
(LAUGHS) Is that playing next door?
Why isn't she playing it?
'Cause it's the next... it's the room next door.
('PONY' BY GINUWINE PLAYS)
Sick! This is cool!
LESLIE: Oh, wow! This is very playful.
STEPH: Yeah, it's cool. The disco ball is awesome.
I think this would be a kid's sort of dream.
KRISTY: What's this area for?
Probably just a little... party station, is it? I don't know.
('PONY' BY GINUWINE CONTINUES)
# Let's do it
# Ride it, my pony
# My saddle is waiting
# Come and jump on it... #
LIBERTY: Very cool, very cool.
SCOTTY: Now for House Three, Kristy and Brett,
who came third with 27.5.
MARTY: How cute!
This is so sweet!
(UPBEAT DRUM RHYTHMS)
Look at this! Ahh.
Step back. Look what you can colour in.
DARREN: Oh, no!
(LAUGHTER)
LIBERTY: Keith and Dan! I know.
Shelley, Scotty, the four judges.
Oh, it's a whiteboard! I think that's so clever!
Hello!
Oh! GIAN: Oh, my Lord.
(UPBEAT DRUM RHYTHMS)
That's really nice. I like the little teepee in the corner.
LIBERTY: The aesthetic's beautiful.
Like, they've done it kiddy,
but they've kept the aesthetic, like, sophisticated.
House Three, with Kristy and Brett,
they did one fantastic kids' room...
This is sweet!
I like this a lot! Same.
..and then their second room was...
..literally did not have one single kids' thing in there.
(IMPACT BOOMS)
My mum says if you can't say anything nice,
you shouldn't say anything at all.
For someone that doesn't like wallpaper, I really like this.
Do you like it?
It's like I just got punched in the face.
(JAUNTY TROMBONE MUSIC)
It doesn't feel kiddy at all.
Just trying to think of what age this would be.
Um, an adult.
Yeah, it could be a second guestroom.
It could definitely be.
(LAUGHS) This is a uni student room. This is a uni student...
Yeah, it's not kiddy. Not kiddy.
The kids' bedroom, it's baffling... It's not even on the bloody scale!
..that they scored so highly when it wasn't a kids' room.
What is there - Grafico and a bed?
Boring as bat (BLEEP).
Just so safe!
Like, come on, guys. We're on The bloody Block! Let's do it.
We got someone else's money to play with.
Let's have some fun!
I just don't know what... everyone's just safe.
Cool.
SCOTTY: Next is House Five, Eliza and Liberty,
who scored 26.5.
Oh, this is gorgeous!
I love that so much!
How sweet is that? How cute is this?
(UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
ELIZA: I think we should feel very lucky for the scores we got.
Oh, totally!
I think our scores were generous for what our rooms were, to be honest.
No, but our rooms are nice - I'm not saying -
But if you're comparing them all...
Mmm. ..like...anyway.
Do, do, do!
Oooh, I love the wallpaper!
(UPLIFTING MUSIC CONTINUES)
It's a Grafico linen.
It feels so light and bright!
The girls' bedrooms were also beautiful, in House Five,
and theirs were very, like, adaptable.
(UPLIFTING MUSIC CONTINUES)
KRISTY: Cute!
Oh, that is kind of cute. This is soft and nice.
Very cute.
LESLIE: "This nook has been designed
"currently for a younger child to curl up in and read a book
"or play with their favourite toy."
LEAH: "Once the child grows up, a few simple shelves..."
Oh, jeez, the girls have really thought about that!
Yep, super adaptable. Very nice.
I think everyone's adaptable, besides House Two.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
who should have won?
It's really light and bright for their little kids' room, um...
Yeah, then the other room... the other room... (LAUGHS)
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(LEAH GASPS) Oh, wow!
Wow!
Oh, that desk is great! Yeah, that's...
Look how loaded of fun that is!
Loads of storage.
What age is this, though?
I don't know anymore.
Probably, like...12-ish?
12-ish-year-old girl, maybe.
(JAUNTY MUSIC CONTINUES)
(LAUGHS) Oh, what?
Then we, like, opened the cupboard
and there's, like, a little size two jacket.
Ski jacket! (LAUGHTER)
What?
This is not a two-year-old's room.
Now that's starting to confuse me,
'cause, like, 1,000-piece puzzle -
you can't do a 1,000-piece puzzle when you're two.
The colour is not for a two-year-old.
No.
No, I thought it was for an older person.
I'd love to just have a sleep on that bed.
Me too.
They're funny, but, yeah, no, they're both great rooms.
Yeah, and I think loads of storage, very functional.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
And in last place were Kyle and Leslie with just 24.
These guys, they're marketing these homes to probably younger families,
and you know, it might be a boy who's obsessed with basketball.
There's nothing offensive in here,
but it is pigeonholed.
I got quite upset last night
because it's a kids' bedroom, for goodness sake,
and you know, our comments were that it was very...almost too themed,
'cause it was a basketball room.
Um, every room had a theme.
(FUNKY MUSIC RHYTHMS)
This is definitely the type of room I would have had as a kid.
STEPH: Yeah. Sports, PlayStation.
I love it, and I also don't think it's too...permanent.
Neither do I, and I think it's... yeah, what's permanent about it?
How easy is it to change this?
How is that not adjustable, but then House Two...
A room with... A rock climbing wall.
A rock...not say it for them, but then say it for this.
Yeah, but then say it for here, yeah.
A little bit inconsistent. That was inconsistent.
Oh, that is such rough judging!
And you know what,
it's actually really close-minded of the judges, really.
I'm so angry for them. Yeah, oh, me too.
I'd be pissed! Same.
I feel very, very irate. Same.
# Time turned out to be a thing that burned me in the end... #
LESLIE: And then our other room got fairly good feedback,
but again, you'd think, you know, as an average,
you would still score fairly...
Yeah, I don't know.
It's just...it's quite bizarre.
# If I can't love me in pieces
# Then it won't work when I'm fixed... #
Yeah, they really liked this room. Yeah. I do too.
I don't understand.
This is definitely, like, a young teen's room.
They actually got, like, crucified.
It wasn't just that they,
like, there was a couple of bits and pieces.
I...like, having seen this,
I would have thought they would be up there with Steph and Gian.
Yeah.
I think it's great.
They've been judged really harshly for a few weeks now.
So, I'm surprised that they keep going every week.
Like, at the moment, for the last however many weeks,
it's sort of becoming a bit mundane for us, I think,
because you just don't feel like you're even in the race.
# But I get back up... #
# Your sword's grown old and rusty... #
SCOTTY: This week is the final week inside the houses,
and all the Blockheads have been given the massive task
of completing two rooms,
starting with their upstairs bathrooms.
# Gun... #
Today I think we are...gonna get a good roll on this bathroom.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
The bathroom this week is upstairs.
So, it sort of services the kids' room.
It's got tile on the back wall,
it's got a bath, double showerhead,
window, two skylights in the ceiling,
double vanity, and then toilet hidden behind the door.
It's very bright and fresh, that one, too.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
CommBank has given the teams ten grand,
so they can do their redo rooms.
(UPBEAT MUSIC CONTINUES)
LEAH: Our redo room is the work-from-home space.
The judges were very keen to see that as a bedroom.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
MARTY: We're in a family area
and we don't have one single bedroom on the ground floor,
which means that, technically, this house is now three bedrooms.
Whereas your neighbours will mostly have four,
maybe even five on their brochure.
It's quite a big risk to take.
Yeah.
So, we're converting it into the bedroom that they...so wanted.
(FUNKY MUSIC)
So, now we are making the entrance French door height higher.
You walk in, you see that fireplace is still there,
and then we've got wardrobes either side of the entrance doors,
a bed, and two seating chairs.
ASH: And the timber floor's gone and we've gone with carpet.
Who would've thought? Crazy!
(LAUGHS)
This year I gave everyone access to their entire budgets from day one,
so keeping the books balanced has been a full-time job.
We're running pretty tight.
Um...yeah. Mm-hm.
Budget's looking, actually, cooked.
MAN: Are you worried? Very worried.
I just spoke to Tom Desler about those cupboards -
the wardrobes for the redo room.
His machinery is out.
So, he doesn't think he can give us wardrobes.
So, we have no cabinetmaker for this week.
So...
And everything hinges on the robes?
They need to go in? Yep.
We have to convert this to a bedroom?
Yeah.
There's just no wiggle room in the budget.
So...there's, like...
Wriggle.
Wiggle. Wiggle.
# Hot potato, hot potato... # Wiggle?
It's wiggle room. You know, you gotta wiggle!
# I gotta hit the beat, beat
# I gotta hit the... #
Kristy and Brett's two rooms this week are both bathrooms.
Which is kind of good, to have two bathrooms in the one thing,
'cause you can just get a tiler working out of both.
So, this week, in our upstairs final bathroom...
(FUNKY MUSIC)
..given that it is next to two kids' rooms,
there's definitely gonna be a bath room there.
Then we've got a shower coming from the ceiling,
a glass panel, double dual vanity, two mirrors,
and then a toilet behind the door.
# Gotta hit... #
And along with that, we were appointed our redo room.
We've got our redo room.
We are looking to make quite a few changes to the first bathroom.
(FUNKY BEATS)
The room we were given for redo is in the studio space.
So, the separate wing of the house.
There's the bathroom downstairs there.
Which was our first room.
The original feedback from the judges was saying
too many different styles in one room.
DARREN: What we've got is a very contemporary Shaker door,
we've got a Shaker door profile here,
but then we've got that sort of Moroccan feel,
the Moroccan tile over there,
and then we've got hard industrial lines.
And those three things -
sure, we can mesh them together if you're pro,
but it's not coming together here well.
I picked a lot of that stuff, so I wasn't exactly sure.
I thought I was just throwing together what looked nice.
No idea at the time. Anyway, we live and we learn.
(FUNKY MUSIC)
So, what we want to do
is change that arch niche to a square or rectangle niche,
then incorporate the pencil tiles
we've had such success with in the main part of the house,
and then change all the fixings as well, from the gold to the black,
and I think it will make a massive change to that space.
So, this one should be pretty... business as usual,
considering we win bathrooms.
(JAUNTY BANJO STRUMMING)
What about House Four? They can't put a foot wrong.
# Songs about rainbows... #
DAN: The bottom of that rainbow
is going right into House Four's backyard.
KEITH: Yeah.
Yeah, we woke up feeling really good, you know?
40 grand richer, and then I thought to myself,
"Actually, you know what, Scotty gave us another ten."
So, 50 grand richer. Felt really good.
Well, mate, they've won enough, haven't they?
Yeah, they've already got a pot of gold.
Oh, my god!
Um, we're feeling so lucky and grateful.
Um, all of the anxiety and stress, I guess, was worth it.
Yep.
It's not over yet.
You've got two rooms to complete by Sunday,
starting with a bathroom
to connect those winning kids' rooms from last week.
So, this week we're doing the kids' bathroom.
That'll be entered from both kids' rooms.
So, it'll be a Jack-and-Jill entry.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
We've created a T-Blade wall,
where the bath will sit on the face side of that,
and we've created two compartments for a shower and a bathroom.
We'll have a double vanity with face level storage and wall sconces.
We're trying to create separate spaces
because we think that room is gonna be shared by multiple kids, so...
So, having two doors on the shower and the WC is important
to have a thoroughfare that's clear.
Yeah, exactly.
Steph and Gian's redo room is also a bathroom
and also on the first floor.
Our redo room was our master ensuite,
which we did only just a few weeks ago.
The judges' feedback for that room was quite strong.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I feel like I'm in some sort of quarantine facility.
Oh, my god! (LAUGHS)
It's cold, it's harsh.
And I've got a floorplan issue -
why is the vanity not on this wall,
with shaving cabinets in the wall,
and the windows be uninterrupted.
And it was definitely something
that we did wanna take into consideration this week,
and that was flipping the vanity to the other side of the wall.
# Hey... #
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
STEPH: So, as you walk in, the vanity's under the windows.
We are flipping it to the other side,
and then now there'll be a bench underneath the window.
The James Hardie cladding will be Venetian plastering on top of,
and we're adding Roman blinds.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
SCOTTY: Next... Hey, Scotty. Good to see you.
You too. How are you? Fantastic.
..old friends bring new ideas...
In four hours drying time, you're right to tile.
Amazing! Yeah.
..and jealous Blockheads rob the rich.
They've got 90 grand - they don't need anything,
so we need to go steal some of their (BLEEP)!
(LAUGHS)
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Take that sriracha.
SHELLEY: G'day, Blockheads, Shelley Craft here,
and when the soaring stops, the banter begins
on the official Block podcast.
Every Monday night, I catch up with contestants, judges...
Whoa!
..and all your favourites.
So, join me on the official Block podcast on 9NOW,
or subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
# I'm breaking in Shaping up... #
SCOTTY: This week our Blockheads will deliver the interiors of their homes,
which include a bathroom and their redo room.
Sounds easy, right?
You're naive if you think a week on The Block is going to be easy,
because it never, ever is.
And doing two rooms.
We always knew it was gonna be hard,
and I think it's just gonna get harder now.
# Up
# I feel it in my bones... #
The girls' final upstairs bathroom is next to their kids' rooms.
For a toilet system, we need 1,300.
But that doesn't...
But there'll still be 900 between the vanity and that wall.
OK, but you won't be, like, feel claustrophobic
when you're sitting doing a poo, will you?
No, you'll have your 900 for your toilet, which is totally standard.
OK, but it's just...but, like...
So, you'll have 900mm of...
There - to there.
So, as you enter our bathroom, on the right-hand side is our shower,
and then you've got a bath directly in front of you
underneath the window.
To the left is the toilet, and then a double vanity next to it.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
OK, that's fine by me
if it's gonna be more aesthetically pleasing and not any more expensive.
Yep. Great.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Eliza and Liberty's redo room is the studio,
which, back in week two, was a bit of a disaster.
Marty Fox told us that our studio space, which is now our redo room,
that he would have rather have seen an empty room
than what we had done with it.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I mean, the TV's in the wrong spot, this table right in the middle -
like, everything, for me, does not feel luxurious enough.
I think the styling is so bad that had it been empty,
I would have been happier.
Oh!
So, we are transforming pretty much the whole space.
(FUNKY MUSIC)
As you walk into our studio,
on the left-hand side, we now have the TV on the wall,
with some Grafico wallpaper,
and then there's a couch facing the TV,
with an armchair on the side, a little coffee table,
and then we've kept the working-from-home desks,
with some cabinetry and a little kitchenette.
So, it's a space that can be multifunctional.
You can use it as a guestroom because we've got the sofa bed.
It can be used as an entertaining area, its own separate retreat.
It's a very versatile space that can be repurposed for whatever you wish.
It really just ticks every box.
# Good times... #
While their build teams battle on with the bathrooms and redo rooms,
Liberty and Leslie slip out to Reece for the very last time.
I can't believe it - last bathroom. I know.
Thank god!
(BOTH LAUGH)
(FUNKY MUSIC)
Kyle and Leslie's upstairs bathroom sits at the top of the stairs
servicing the two kids' bedrooms.
It'll have an open shower recess opposite a toilet,
and a full-size bath sits next to a single vanity.
At Reece today, I selected my vanity.
You'd be...you'd have to set it at least there.
Yeah, OK, so, this vanity would be here, and thinner?
Correct. Cool.
A top for the vanity.
That's, ideally, the colour of the vanity I want to use.
A stone handle for the vanity.
And then what was the handle options?
You can do that Carrera, like that, or just...
A plain white? The white.
Arched mirror with storage in it.
Bath, toilet, and...my basin.
That's it. You're done. (GASPS) That's it?
That's your goodie bag. Oh, my gosh.
This is exciting, but also sad... It is sad.
..because this is it. It's our last time together.
Oh, Nicky, thank you so much for your help.
Absolute pleasure.
It is getting a bit... what's the word?
It's not sad, but it's...reflective,
because this whole journey is just coming to an end.
So, it's sort of saying goodbye to everyone,
all your sponsors that you've worked with over the season,
which is crazy to think, like,
how long ago it was we first started there,
bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
(CHILLED ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
Now, we all know making Waterproof Wednesday
is a big thing on The Block.
Waterproof Wednesday is not...
We've never made it.
No, we've never made it.
We tried once to make Waterproof Tuesday.
Didn't happen, but we've never not missed Waterproof Wednesday.
You know, we had never met Waterproof Wednesday,
and it was something that we were like,
"You know what, this is the last wet room. Let's try and meet it."
(DRIVING ROCK RHYTHMS)
Well, something is coming that will help you meet it.
I've invited Rachel and Ryan from last year's Block
to join us on the Ford Getaway.
Oh, hello. Come in here.
(ROCK RHYTHMS SWELL)
How are you? RYAN: Hey, Scotty!
(LAUGHS) How are we? Welcome back to The Block.
(LAUGHS) You right?
I can't believe we're about to meet Scotty Cam!
You may remember they were the couple who came in late
to replace the Bondi babe runaways.
(POP!)
It's Bathroom Week. Yes!
So, we...yeah, yeah. Bathroom Week!
You're a plumber. I'm a plumber.
How are you going?
Get ready. Got high-vis for you already.
Thank you so much! Yeah. There you go, there you go.
Ready for you. Good to see you.
You too, mate. How are you? Fantastic!
Steph and Gian... RYAN AND RACHEL: Hey!
..meet Ryan and Rachel!
How are you? Nice to meet you! How are you?
Nice to meet you! Mwah! Nice to...
Before we head off,
they're gonna give Steph and Gian a brand-new building product
that just might make Waterproof Wednesday a thing of the past.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Guys, we have a present for you from Mitre 10...
GIAN: Yeah? OK.
..that is gonna make this week a dream for you guys.
It's called Wedi. Ryan, here's one I prepared earlier.
OK! (LAUGHS)
RYAN: It's a product now that... it's manufactured in Germany.
Yeah? Ten years warranty.
The idea of it is this wall is already waterproofed.
All you do is you use a membrane glue
that just butts the joints together.
In four hours drying time, you're right to tile.
Amazing! Yeah, yeah.
On The Block, we've struggled the most
with being able to make those really quick decisions...
Yeah. Yeah.
..like that, and make sure we waterproof by Wednesday,
which we've never achieved!
So, apparently we don't need to think about that anymore
with this new Wedi product.
Yeah.
Steph, there's wine waiting, babe. Let's go.
(DRIVING ROCK RHYTHMS) Ow!
(LAUGHS) Oh, my god!
So, Rach and Ryan were joining us at the Lancemore Lindenderry,
in Red Hill, for the Ford Getaway.
We got in our Ford Mustangs and jumped on the road.
What a car!
# Sometimes I feel I've got to
# Run away
# I've got to
# Get away from the pain You drive in the heart of me... #
Welcome.
My head was actually exploding.
# Tainted love... #
Oooh!
Oh! (DOOR CLUNKS)
GIAN: Oooh!
Look at this fire! The fire!
Oh! This is amazing.
Oh, I need to lie down! (LAUGHS)
Ohh!
You know what, but first we'll have some wine.
Yes.
(CASH REGISTER CHIMES) Ohh! What is that?
Oh! Is this our 10K from Ford? There you go.
Thank you. Spend wisely.
I know, and I've already spent it.
(LAUGHS)
Without you even knowing. Thank you, Ford! (LAUGHS)
(CORK POPS)
Oh, (BLEEP)!
(LAUGHS) Oh, my god!
(UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Cheers!
Here's to another week of three tens.
To ten, ten, ten!
SCOTTY: While our financial fat cats are away...
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
..back at the Block, the mice will play.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)
MAN: A little bit of stealing from the rich tonight?
Stealing from the rich? Remember, Steph and Gian?
Ohh!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)
(BOTH LAUGH)
OK, so, Brett and I and Lib and Eliza...
We all agree that after Steph and Gian's $40,000 win,
they probably don't need all the things in their house anymore,
and if they do, they can just go re-buy it,
'cause they can afford it.
And we joked around, saying that we should probably just rob them
while they're out on their winning trip tonight.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
So, at 6:00, we thought, "Hey, maybe we SHOULD rob them."
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
Let's go steal from the rich and give to the poor.
(LAUGHTER) Yeah.
No convincing needed for me or Lib just to be like,
"Oh, we're robbing them? Done."
Done. Copy that.
So, where do we draw the line? (LAUGHS)
Are, like, TVs off-limits?
No, nothing's off limits, I don't think.
So, we made our way down to House Four.
We all pulled up in our beanies,
like, looking like robbers.
Oh! Someone's actually taken our vacuum.
Yeah, we'll take the vacuum. OK. That's ours.
It got out of hand real quick. Mmm.
Oooh, some of this artwork's nice.
What piece do you like?
Wait, why do they just have banked artwork?
We needed to get away with a bit of Taj Mahal,
so we took the custom-made little side table for the lounge.
That was really heavy!
Oh, this looks expensive.
Oh, that's pricey!
So, that will go on the bank.
Pop this over here.
It was kind of things that looked expensive.
I like this - a laptop. This baby's coming home with me.
(LAUGHS)
A couple of vases.
Now, this would be impressive to take.
A couple of mirrors.
Which one do you like - the smaller one?
Small - probably less obvious.
Then it just got weird. We stole some sauce.
Oh, take that sriracha. That will be good for later.
Arnott's. Eliza!
What? We hit the jackpot.
Arnott's raid.
They had a lot of good biscuits.
Even their Tim Tams are beige.
A NutriBullet.
Oh, my god, I would like that NutriBullet.
It was just a few things that would really spruce up our houses,
but they probably wouldn't even notice that had gone missing.
Make a world of difference in our house,
and they would just be absorbed in their rich house.
(ELEGANT ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)
RYAN: Looks great, Julian. Wow!
GIAN: Thank you, Julian.
This is so...detailed. This is a work of art!
RACHEL: Thank you. Yeah, this is absolutely beautiful.
OK, now, I really, really, really wanna know what everyone's like.
How are we all going? We're in week ten.
Oh, Rachel's into the goss. Well, well, well!
I like the goss! Block telephone? Alright.
No, look, the thing is, with us,
we've actually been staying in our own lane -
we said that from the beginning -
although I think, when we first got to The Block,
we were very...maybe intimidating, being an architect, and also...
GIAN: Like, strong personalities.
..the way that we are - we're strong personalities.
They started kind of labelling us -
like, 'cause obviously our colour tones in our house
is quite muted, quite beige.
Mm-hm.
And we have a bit of a biscuit theme from Arnott's this year.
Mmm?
So, they labelled these guys 'Milk Arrowroots'.
Right.
What's wrong with a Milk Arrowroot? The boring biscuit.
I know! That's what we were saying. I love a Milk Arrowroot.
Yeah, but it's not a Tim Tam.
Uh, that's true...that's very true. (LAUGHS)
That's what they're saying.
That's actually very true. Are they Tim Tams, though?
Well, who knows?
But initially, we were kind of, like, owning the fact
that we're, like, the beige people,
'cause that's our style, we love that,
and then, I think, there was a turning point
where we started to think,
"Actually, they're not saying this in a fun, positive way."
They're saying this as, like, a, "You're vanilla."
Ohh. Yeah.
So, how many houses is this?
Fi...oh, two. There was just two of the houses.
Two houses that are doing this just against your one house.
Yep. Right.
It was harsh, and... It was.
..it was a tough experience for the first four weeks for these guys.
Yeah. Mm-hm.
It was.
This is always gonna happen, right?
You've got five couples... Yeah.
..competing in a competition.
You're renovating really, really fast, making quick decisions.
Yeah.
People get, "Well, how do I put this couple down?"
Like, they...at the end of the day, everyone's trying to win.
Everyone's trying to do the best they can.
It's not probably the way they are in the real world.
Oh, yeah, 100%.
So, I think, at the end of the day,
all you had to do was stay true to yourself.
100%. Yeah.
And whatever anyone else says, who cares?
It was amazing to get, like, perspective from them,
but also advice from them,
and just to actually get some energy off them.
For sure. It was amazing.
Yeah, they're awesome people.
Oh, it's dessert time.
RACHEL: That's Big Bikkies!
Everyone hates you at The Block. (LAUGHTER)
STEPH: Fair enough! GIAN: Understandably.
Ooooh!
And...oh!
Yeah! Magic.
RYAN: Holy moly! 30 grand.
Some caramel Tim Tams too. (LAUGHTER)
Big Bikkies was really large.
We've never had a bigger Big Bikkies.
Yeah, it was a nice way to finish dinner.
Yes. Nice little dessert.
30 grand from Arnott's.
Lot of money. It was a lot of money.
A lot of money at this Ford Getaway. Again, overwhelming. Overwhelming.
Oh, I'm taking them, and I'm taking the bloody caramels.
RACHEL: Pass it down. Here, you take them.
RYAN: I'll take the Scotchies.
Here - Iced VoVos for the kids. There we go. Come on!
(LAUGHTER) Keep 'em coming.
Keep going. Is there any Arrowroots?
No, there's no Arrowroots.
# When I wake up in the morning and I see your face... #
SCOTTY: It's the morning after the big Block heist,
when Houses Three and Five played a prank on House Four.
So, we figured they won 90K. Yep?
So, we were like, "Hey, steal from the rich and give to the poor."
Robin Hood. Robin Hood.
So, we stole a lot of stone. Oh, nice!
A lot of decor. Yeah?
Um, what else? Sriracha.
We stole a lot of Arnott's, actually.
Yeah. Eliza stole them, primarily.
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
But what they couldn't have known
is that Steph just got terrible news from home
that her grandad is seriously unwell.
(STIRRING PIANO MUSIC)
MAN: Steph, you had some really bad news today about your grandfather.
Yes.
And this was on the way back?
Yeah, so, we heard that my grandfather had taken a fall.
Mm-hm.
Um, went into hospital,
and we thought that everything was all good,
and we quickly realised it wasn't.
(STIRRING PIANO MUSIC)
OK.
Oh, Stephie! Mmm.
It couldn't have come at the worser time,
with Steph having some sad news on her behalf the very next day.
It all got very serious very quickly,
so we made sure that we returned everything straight away.
Yeah, joke was kind of over. The joke was over.
Mmm, you poor thing.
Just let us know. Everyone's here to help.
Yeah, yeah, no, I know, and I feel really supported, which is so nice.
Mmm.
Hey. How are you?
Are you OK? Yeah, I'm OK.
How's Stephie? She's alright.
(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(INDISTINCT)
Love you. Love you. She's OK.
(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
My grandfather...is sick.
He hasn't passed yet, but, um... he hasn't passed yet,
but...yeah, we've turned oxygen off.
It's obviously a little bit of a shock,
because he was doing OK.
He fell last week, and...
I need to be there for my family if I need to,
and I obviously... yeah, just feel a bit disconnected.
(CRIES) I don't know, there's many things going on in my head.
Yeah.
(UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(BIRD SINGS)
(UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
MAN: What room were you given for your redo room?
Um, we were given living.
It wasn't living-dining, it was actually just living, to be fair.
SCOTTY: Back in week five,
Kyle and Leslie did what they could
with the smallest living area on this year's Block,
and the judges smashed them.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
This just feels really...tiny.
At the time, we agreed that it was too small
for a house in this sort of price bracket,
but essentially, to rectify it just seemed...impossible.
So, after deliberation over the design,
Kyle and Leslie have decided to take out a wall
and push back the entire corner,
and soften it with a curve.
And that's the plan at the moment.
So, now we're just getting plans in to the engineer,
sussing out if it's gonna be plausible.
So, fingers crossed.
Keithy, think quick.
Oh, hey, hey! Ohh!
Oh, pay that. Nice handball!
Are you a footballer? What's happening here?
You can have your curved wall. Dougie's all approved it.
Yay!
Uh, we are doing it. Yeah.
We're doing a curve.
Everything was all ticked off.
I think this is gonna open up the living space even more.
I've got Deb from Freedom to come out.
So, she's gonna help us with furniture placement.
It means we can bring the zone out more out here,
but I am still really conscious
of you having a dead zone behind the sofa.
Like, we put a buffet there.
Like, are we better off just going lamp, plant, to coordinate?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean?
Take up the whole build and actually create a function loungeroom.
BOTH: Yep.
Essentially, Deb sort of said,
stick a lamp there, stick a plant there.
It's sort of giving meaning to that space behind the sofa,
and you don't really need to overthink it.
(FUNKY MUSIC)
The new open-plan curved living area
will have blonde floorboards and a white rug,
with furniture and paint to match,
and a huge wall of windows provides tons of natural light.
Yeah, I think the layout's really gonna work.
# 'Cause I got what you want
# Ohh, ohh... #
Because it's the final week inside the houses,
our Blockheads have more than just two rooms to complete.
They also have to get their hallways insulated
and ready for my builders to do all the plastering.
# Can't lose... #
KEITH: Hey, guys.
G'day, Keith. Hey, Keith.
You're in the hallway... Yeah.
..which is good - we need to be here.
Yeah.
'Cause we need to start concentrating on this area.
This week we have to insulate...
(FUNKY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
..downstairs hallways,
our remaining outskirts of our rumpus,
our staircase,
our upstairs hallway,
our...upstairs...ceiling?
Yep.
Everything. I did...
The whole house.
And we want this done quickly,
'cause we'd like this gyprocked this week.
Yeah, yep.
So you guys can start attacking the painting straight away next week.
That is a massive workload.
So, what does Brett decide to do?
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Site barbie, House Three. Site barbie.
I went to Aldi today.
I wanted to keep my trend of doing a barbecue every fortnight.
I got big priorities going on.
I do want to be the face of Weber Australia-slash-New Zealand.
So, that is now my new goal.
It's gonna be an ugly face, but I'm gonna be there.
KEITH: Now, Brett, I'm not sure whether you're aware...
Yep?
..we are actually on a renovating show.
Yeah, yeah, well...
Now, The Block has always been that way,
but you're on a different planet to us.
It seems...I seem to be a better cook.
(LAUGHS) You know you're on the TV show The Block, right?
I just don't know what the show is yet.
I'm still figuring out what you do on The Block.
Oi, I don't know. It actually annoys me.
It's great for us to have fun,
and you know, cook barbies and have a bit of fun with it and that,
but in reality, he should be in there right now, insulating.
100%.
I don't know, I'm not really here to build a house.
WOMAN: What are you here for? A bit of fun! A bit of a row!
I wanna have some experiences and have a bit of fun.
I wanna cook and drink and (BLEEP)...I wanna rob people.
Oh, well.
We wanna get these...everything done by the end of the week.
We're running out of time. We are.
Now, Keith, tell me what you really thought.
It wasn't tasteless and boring, was it? No.
(LAUGHTER)
Here...here you go. (LAUGHTER)
Here comes... here comes the aeroplane.
(LAUGHTER) Nom, nom, nom, nom.
Oh, (BLEEP)! Go! (LAUGHTER)
Give me that bloody thing, would you?
(LAUGHTER) Give me it!
I never thought I'd be, like, this douchey about it,
but I just...I want it now.
If you're not ready for plastering soon,
I'm gonna take 'em and we'll go to House Four,
'cause they're... they're nearly ready.
We'll...yeah, nah. So...
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
God, it's hard to get him working, isn't it?
(LAUGHTER) What's it gonna take?
(DRIVING ROCK RHYTHMS)
SCOTTY: It's week ten on The Block,
and the workload is chaotic!
Whether or not they finish and reveal by Sunday
is in the lap of the gods.
(AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS) # Guided by angels
# But they're not heavenly... #
House One have bounced back and are working hard to finally get a win.
No curve balls, but plenty of curved walls.
The girls are beavering away on their big studio redo...
Eliza, please do some work! ELIZA: I am!
..and House Two are sorting their wardrobe issues.
Call it 1.83 metres. Yep.
In House Four, the new Wedi waterproofing system has been laid.
# Like misery it passes... #
Tom is spruiking Hipages, helping Steph look for a cleaner.
TOM: So, we'll jump on Hipages. STEPH: Uh-huh.
It's the best way to get help, I reckon.
And Velux skylights are going in.
How does it look to you?
But there seems to be a problem.
Oh, god!
Upon entering, we take a look up,
and we see that the skylights that have been installed by Velux...
Are not per plan.
Not per plan, but not even in position.
Not even the right specs. Size or space.
Listen, we can't fit 870 - there's not 870 between the rafters.
They've done their rafters differently
to what we originally said.
So, we've fitted in with what they've given us.
A few months back,
we drew up skylights on some of the plans.
We'd drawn in squares there - like, an 870-by-870 squares -
and then the frames get made up, the roof trusses get made up,
they all get put in place.
When we came along several months later,
the trusses were actually narrower than what we anticipated.
So, we put skylights in to fit those spaces.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Steph and Gian designed their bathroom layout
according to where the skylights were in the architect's plans,
but Velux had to shift them sideways to fit into the roof trusses,
and now they're sitting directly over
where Steph's beams and a dividing wall are set to go.
(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)
We cut the light shafts out, we did everything -
put the skylights in place,
started framing up for the light shafts,
and then they've come in and said, "Oh, we're putting a wall in here.
"Oh, we got two beams coming through here."
None of this was ever explained to us at the start.
We had no idea -
no-one told us there was gonna be a wall going all the way up,
two beams coming all the way through.
I wasn't...initially happy with the fact that that even happened,
but anyway, I had to get over it
and then think, "What are we gonna do?"
GIAN: Mmm.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I honestly think... that looks great, don't you think?
STEPH: Yeah.
Straight over the bath. Yep.
Walk away. Don't even waste another minute on it.
We were able to come up with a really nice detail
that allowed the beams from both kids' bedrooms
to continue through to the bathrooms,
and the actual skylight shaft fell directly in between the two beams.
Like, the beams continue to the ceiling...
Yeah.
..and then the skylight shaft's separate.
Yeah.
I think it looks really neat and considered as well,
which is exactly what we were going for.
It's a tricky one, but we'll get it done.
Yeah. Yeah, thanks. Thanks.
('HEAD OVER FEET' BY ALANIS PLAYS) # You've already won me over
# In spite of me... #
SCOTTY: Next week landscaping kicks off, and it will be huge.
So, even though our Blockheads are flat chat
inside their houses right now,
they still need to get their plans in to my guys for approval ASAP.
MAN: Simmo's scary. MAN: How are we?
Do you want a chicken crimpy?
No, I'm good, I'm good, thank you. I just had one.
MAN: That's good. How we doing? LIBERTY: Oh, god!
What's happening?
We're talking landscaping.
Well, that's good, 'cause we've been talking landscaping too.
Yeah. We've been looking at your landscaping plan.
Yeah. As well.
So, Aidan and Simmo from Nine in Six came and visited us,
and they were basically just like,
"Yeah, your landscaping plan doesn't have really any detail in it.
"It's just got a couple of trees. We're gonna need more detail."
Just because we come from the point of trying to get Doug
to make sure we've got everything designed properly
so you don't have problems next week.
Yep. ELIZA: Mm-hm.
At the moment, there's no detail... There's not enough detail on it.
It doesn't look like, from that,
that it's probably a Block landscape.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
So, from the very beginning,
we budgeted 40K for both backyard and front yard.
That was never... and it was to include everything.
Um...there was never any secret of that.
There was never any talk of any other number but the 40K,
and for some reason,
our landscapers, this week, have just gone...
..like, they're just wanting to withdraw
because they think that it doesn't fit their kind of brand,
um...doing that lower sort of level, I guess, landscaping,
even though there's still amazing things
that can be done for 40 grand.
ELIZA: I think they thought more money would magically appear.
We've been very clear - 40 grand, including decking.
OK.
And they've said,
"Look, we're now at the point we don't wanna put our name to this..."
Oh!
"..because it's not on brand for us, what we're delivering.
"It's not to the standard that we want with the money that you've got."
So, yeah, it's just been a bit of a, like, kick in the guts.
We do have a couple of contacts and a couple of names
that I don't know exactly what their availability is,
but one of them has had a little bit of stuff that he's done before,
so he knows what it's about.
It'd be worth giving them a call. Yeah.
So, we rang Ryan from Eastend Landscapes,
who sounds like an absolute legend.
Ryan? MAN: (PHONE) Hello?
It's Eliza from The Block. How you going?
(CHUCKLES) Oh, good! How are you?
Good, thank you, and my sister, Liberty, is here with me.
Hi!
He's free and gonna help us out literally in five days time.
Like, what a legend. And also girl apprentice.
Did you say 'she'? Yeah.
Oh, brilliant! Awesome!
Yeah, she's a gun. Oh, my god, we're so sick of guys.
(LAUGHTER) Yeah, yeah.
And now that we've got a new landscaper,
we all feel good about that.
And we're hoping he's both attractive and single.
He did say...sound attractive,
but on the skinnier side.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
('DOG DAYS ARE OVER') # Run fast for your mother
# And fast for your father... #
SCOTTY: It's good news for the girls in House Five.
They've managed to snag a new landscaper,
who was happy to work within their budget
and can start next week,
however, now they need to let the old landscaper know they've moved on.
Hey, uh, which one do I call?
Brian's the one we chat to most, isn't it? I don't know.
I feel like...all the other houses
are just fine at having hard conversations.
Um, Leah - ballbreaker.
Kristy - ballbreaker.
Steph - ballbreak...
It's all the birds, actually. Mmm.
I'm scared. You do it. Hurry up.
You do it. No! This is your thing!
I think it's fair to say that Lib's a giant puss bag,
um...and so it was on my shoulders
to ring and sign off.
MAN: (PHONE) Hi, guys. How you doing?
Hi! Good, good! Hello.
So, with our conversation yesterday and our conversation today,
we are happy to sort of, like, push on.
Robbie, our builder, will help us,
'cause it's...yeah, the finances are just hideous, and...
Yeah, yeah. Yep.
No, that's cool.
So, you guys will take it on your own, no problem?
Yeah, yeah, we'll be... We'll still there to help.
You know, if you need anything, you just ring me.
OK, cool, that would be awesome. Thank you!
Alright, guys. OK, cheers.

Can you believe it's only Tuesday?
There are six days to reveal,
and already the dramas are running thick and fast.
Today has been an example of what The Block is like.
It's just the epitome of The Block world.
Steph and Gian are trying to cope with bad news from home.
A roller-coaster of emotions.
Yeah, today's been a lot.
House One just can't accept the judges' verdict.
Why was it worthy of such negative feedback?
Then there's House Two's falling out with House Three.
100% something iffy's going on.
It's communication.
I'd suggest it's time for a bevvy and a laugh.
MAN: I think you guys all went over to House Five
and hung out with everyone in the studio.
Yeah. Oh, yeah!
Had some nice vibes.
Yeah, um...and a new addition
to the people that we usually hang out with
was Leah and Ash were in there.
Yeah.
(LAUGHTER)
And actually, it was really nice to hang out.
Everyone knew what a stressful sort of day it was,
but to come back down and sort of just have normal chats,
it was really lovely.
It was awesome. It was good.
It was good seeing everyone and... Yeah.
..having a wine, or having a beer, and having a laugh.
(LAUGHS) Oh, my god, I gotta show you a photo!
(LAUGHTER) Show us.
I'm gonna show you young Ash.
OK, guys, prepare for some entertainment.
This is one.
LIBERTY: Oh, my god! (LAUGHS) I know!
(LAUGHTER) ELIZA: Stop!
That's awful!
Here I am worrying about my private Instagram for my kids and...
(SHRIEKS AND LAUGHS)
More. I want more. (LAUGHTER)
And then it just gets into funny moments.
Yeah. Like, and they're the memories.
Guys, we gotta do a diary.
LESLIE: Come on, Steph, you do it.
Ready?
(CLAPPING)
ALL: # My tribe, my tribe, my tribe
# My tribe, my tribe, my tribe
# My tribe, my tribe, my tribe... #
Kristy and Brett not being there is, obviously, a shame,
but I think it is very much dependent on, also, the fact
that they don't have this really great relationship
with Leah and Ash at all. Obviously.
(IMPACT BOOMS)
MAN: What did you get up to on Tuesday night?
I'm watching the TV.
(TELEVISION MURMURS)
Yeah, nothing.
Fun. Mmm.
So, it just sort of feels
that there is a disconnect between Two and Three completely,
and it's kind of, like, we can't all hang out as one anymore.
Mmm. Which is sad for them.
