Hey! SCOTTY: Previously, Paige was up...
Today has been a good day. It has been.
..and Paige was down...
I'm probably not gonna be here as of tomorrow.
So, if you guys are listening to this,
I think you should actually start looking for replacements,
'cause I'm dipping - I'm, like, out.
..and it was Haydn to the rescue.
HAYDN: We're both heading out. Let's road trip together.
It just kind of hits you and you're like,
"I'm not an interior designer."
Tonight, I've got a surprise for the contestants.
This year there's another twist.
It's gonna be fantastic! WOMAN: Ohh!
Body Corp!
Kristian and Mimi have plaster problems.
See that? Building 101.
(DRAMATIC IMPACT) It was out.
The pressure continues to mount for Paige...
Have you got a theme or a motif that you're going with?
Everyone's just hounding me to find the name for my style.
..and it reaches boiling point for House One.

MAN: What are you doing?
We've had to do a couple of recon missions
because sleeping in the tent is just...we can't do it.
They've left the green room open. The green room's open.
Green room it is. Green room it is.
H? What's optimal climate for you?
22?
HAYDN:
23, mate! Alrighty.
The worst thing is this won't win us the show,
but it'll win us a good night's sleep.
Night, brother. Night, brother.
Love you. Night!
I'd love to say I was thinking about the people in tent city,
but I wasn't.
No.
(WIND WHISTLES)
(SWEEPING CLASSICAL MUSIC)
Arggh! (DRAMATIC IMPACT)
(BLEEP)!
(LAUGHTER)
Every morning!
WOMAN: Hey, Brad. Did you have a good night's sleep?
Not comfortable?
(BLEEP) no.
It's all wet. It doesn't close properly.
(CHIME SOUNDS)
It's Friday of Guest Bedroom Week,
and after a mountain of effort by our Blockheads,
their rooms are finally coming together.
(FUNKY MUSIC)
The walls are up, the wardrobes are in,
which means it's a day of prepping and sanding the room
for a big night of painting ahead.
Come Sunday's reveal, they'll be able to ditch tent city
for the creature comforts of a luxe guest bedroom.
Well, except for the boys, who seem to already have one.
(EXHALES)
WOMAN: How are you, Haydn? Fantastic.
Ricky had the heating on. I think he just turned it off.
Oh! How was yesterday?
Yeah, interesting.
(HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) Yeah, you wanna win...
On the road with Paige.
I think she needed a break from The Block.
So, it was good to be able to take her out
and take her mind off things and have a bit of a chat to her,
and hopefully steer her back in the right direction,
'cause she didn't seem too good.
(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I just don't (BLEEP) wanna be here.
I've pretty much made my mind up, to be honest.
I'm (BLEEP) dipping. I'm, like, out.
Is she feeling better? Is she OK?
Think so. Don't know. Did you ask her?
Haven't seen her yet. Mmm.
Feeling great. I woke up feeling really good this morning.
Nothing that a big sleep can't fix.
Morning!
I'd say around seven hours.
Solid!
I think it was more like eight, I reckon.
Maybe eight. That's even better.
It's gonna be a good day. There's not much to do.
We're gonna smash it out, but, um...I don't know.
I just need to stop saying it on The Block,
because every time I wake up saying 'smooth sailing',
something comes.
And here it comes.
You gotta get the windows in. Yeah.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
In here? Yep.
Nah.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
Look, everyone's site's pretty clean,
but House One, Jesse and Paige's site, it is messy.
There is piles of stuff everywhere.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)
The reason we want a clean site is it's safe.
Hey, Jesse?
JESSE:
We wanna get these windows in today. Yeah, sick.
Quilly's here now.
We don't really wanna get this one in.
If something falls on it, it's gonna scratch the frame.
A lot of mess. All that plaster.
I'm not stupid, though.
Like, I wouldn't (BLEEP) do that, you know?
But accidentally, like, it could happen.
Yeah, I understand that. And then it's the frame ruined.
I think someone's woken up
on the wrong side of the bed this morning, to be honest.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Jesse didn't take the, um... the news very well.
We might have to shut the site down, really.
PAIGE: This...yesterday, I was out all day...
Yeah, we just need this clean.
Alright, well, let's stop talking and just (BLEEP) doing it.
Could be grumpy house, I think, today, for House One.
They're just all princesses! That's what they are.
I'm probably not even allowed to stack this here
'cause it's too high.
I might get in trouble for leaning that there,
'cause it might be in the way, too messy.
Stop it! You're being an actual arsehole this morning.
I don't care anymore, like...
Stop name-calling!
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I don't care, man!
I'm just sick of dealing with little (BLEEP) here.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Yeah, it's a dump,
but we decided to sleep last night, and I'm glad we did.
I feel so much better this morning.
Like, Dan can come around, whatever.
I don't really...I'll just get it done. It is what it is.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
JESSE:
('I WANT MORE' BY CAPTAIN QUBZ PLAYS)
Oh, here she is!
('I WANT MORE' BY CAPTAIN QUBZ PLAYS)
(LAUGHS) OK.
Welcome!
Good morning. How are you? Hey, Frankie!
What about this? The Platinum!
Thank you very, very much. My Ford Everest.
Wow! (LAUGHS)
Up she goes. (LAUGHS) Oh, you're joking!
Thank you. No hands.
And it's carrying very precious cargo today.
Oh, yeah, your high vis! That's it.
Well, Shell, we've had some ups and downs this week.
We've had a lot of tears.
(SOBS)
(STIRRING COUNTRY GUITAR)
# I looked at you... #
It's gonna be alright. (SOBS)
Like, I'm fine with the pressure!
I work well under pressure.
MAN: How you feeling?
I'm feeling very, um...
Overwhelmed?
Like throwing up.
It's second week... Yeah.
..and you know, we really probably need to nurture quite a few of them.
OK. Well, we can do that... A little bit of massaging.
And, look, we've been here before. We have.
They haven't, so, hopefully we've got lots of wise words of wisdom.
No, we don't, but... None?
..but this is one of those things
that, I think, what we need to say today is just relax,
and...it'll happen.
Maybe enjoy the process. Enjoy the process!
Yeah. We hope.
We're gonna kick off with last week's winners, Kristian and Mimi.
Big win too. Jeez, alright.
Kristian and Mimi are hoping to continue their winning streak
by presenting a guest bedroom which is located on the ground floor.
It's next door to the bathroom
that scored them $140,000 worth of prizes.
Their bedroom features an off-centred Porta timber wall
alongside an off-centred bedhead,
mismatched lights, and a large piece of artwork.
Oh, here they are, working their little guts out.
MIMI: Hi! Good morning! Good morning. How are you doing?
Oooh, hello! How ARE you doing? Good morning.
Hi! Good morning. It's nice to see you.
Oh, hugging? Kristian, back off, champ!
Don't, no. Hey!
Hey, we're gonna cuddle 'cause we've had a dinner together.
Yeah, I know, but just calm down. (LAUGHS)
That's way too much.
Congrats on the win. Boom!
Thank you! It must feel like a decade ago now.
Oh, it does. It really does. Does it?
Porta timber on the wall? Yes.
Liking it! Love the Porta.
Yeah, what's the idea with the inset on that?
Oh, just for a bit of... some layers, bit of texture.
OK.
And then the bed is offset in the room?
Yeah, so, we... It's not centred?
The bed is centred. It's the bedhead that's offset.
To the left.
Right! Well, that's an interesting...
See, as a carpenter... (LAUGHTER)
This is giving you the jeebies, isn't it?
Yeah, that's right. (LAUGHTER)
My skin is crawling. (LAUGHTER)
So sorry.
I like everything to be, like, whoop...
Symmetrical? Symmetrical.
Yep.
When it's finished, it's gonna be, like, I guess,
imperfectly perfect, if that makes sense.
So, like, everything sort of gets offset,
but, then, once it all comes together,
our vision's gonna be, like, perfect. (LAUGHS)
Yeah.
We're in the media. Yeah.
You had some press that was not favourable.
Did you see it? I did see it.
And you haven't even started!
Oh, my god, there's an article.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
"The purple team from Adelaide
"are, again, going to be the main villains."
Hey...you're joking?
(PHONE RINGS)
Hello? Hey.
There's two articles out about just me and you,
and they've named us.
What?!
They said that we're gonna be, like, worse than Kristy and Brett.
(LAUGHS)
They've put my restaurant on both articles.
What the hell?
This is (BLEEP).
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
So, how are you doing after having read that?
Um, we reacted complete opposite.
I just had a laugh about it. Mmm.
I thought it was quite funny, but, yeah, Mimi was a little bit...
Yeah, I was a bit upset, 'cause it was just a bit of a shock, I think.
Mm-hm. Yeah.
I was like, "Oh, wow, it's an article!"
And then it was...we're villains. Yeah.
And it's just the stuff they were saying was, like,
"Wait, is this me?"
And then it got in my head.
(SOMBRE MUSIC)
Uh, we are not villains.
Don't believe everything that you read, but you know...
I haven't stopped smiling the whole time since I've been here,
so, if anyone's a villain, it's...
I've seen you stop smiling.
They made it up. Yeah.
That's the thing you gotta know.
Yes, they do. They make everything up.
I was addicted to Botox,
according to the front page of the 'Women's Weekly'.
It's true, it's true. Well, that was true.
Well...it's not working.
(LAUGHTER)
And don't read what people say. No, 'cause they don't know you.
See, everyone absolutely loves me because I don't read anything.
(LAUGHTER)
It's in my head. (LAUGHTER)
Alright, we better move on.
Thanks, guys.
All the best for another lucky week.
Thank you! See you!
See you next week. See you, guys. Thanks for coming.
Definitely feeling better about it now,
'cause don't have time to dwell on that.
Just gotta keep moving.

# On Echo Beach Far away in time
# Echo Beach... #
SCOTT: It's Guest Bedroom Week on The Block,
and today it's all about styling.
Kylie in House Four is taking on the judges' advice this week,
toning down the black and going colourful.
Actually really like this colour.
The boys in House Three are aiming for a modern coastal feel.
So, that's your linen. So, you can go and choose your paint colour.
That's your side table.
Block Shop, baby!
House Five's Kristian and Mimi are loving their new artwork.
I think it will go with your beautiful timber detail in the room.
Yeah! Yep.
(GASPS) That's so good!
But for Paige in House One,
she's still not exactly sure what her style is.
Here to talk about window furnishings.
Yes, I am, for our bedroom numero uno.
Love it!
Well, before we start,
have you got a theme or a motif that you're going with.
So...
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
..it's very hard to label,
'cause I don't think I know the right words.
Um, I cannot put a name on style. I'm not an interior designer.
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I...I struggle... Yeah.
..with labelling my style.
I can't tell anyone what I like because I don't know the words.
We have Grafico wallpaper. So, it's a charcoal grey.
WOMAN: Yeah.
That's kind of it.
I'm still sussing out beds and things, but...
Yep.
I'm finding the styling very challenging,
and without sounding like an arsehole,
everything that's available on Block Bucks is just...
..I don't like it.
I mean, I would rather sleep on rocks
than sleep and put a linen quilt on my bed.
I can't stand linen.
(CHIME SOUNDS)
Everything is rattan.
(CHIME SOUNDS)
The judges want something Instagrammable,
but that is, like, so five years ago and very cringey to me.
So, I'm not...
I'm struggling to find anything that's not cringe.
MAN: So, what style do you like?
Like, anything but that.
We know what our style is. We just don't know what it's called.
Everyone's just hounding me to find the name for my style!
I don't (BLEEP) know it!
But is there a particular colour you're gravitating towards?
Green. You like green?
Yep. Cool.
But it just sounds dumb. "What's your style?" "Green."
You gravitate towards green style or colour in your design.
You like green... But I don't.
My whole house at home is blue.
But you like green, or you don't like green?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
Alright, we'll leave it for now.
I'm sorry. Thanks, Ryan.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
(SIGHS)
Rightio, on with our walkarounds.
Shell, these guys are back together again.
Haydn is here! Oh!
'Cause you haven't seen him.
I haven't met the man, the myth, yet.
No, I know.
Blue... Oh, boys!
Gentlemen. Scotty! Shelley!
The man, the myth! Hello!
It's lovely to meet you. I haven't met you yet.
The other half of the team. Welcome.
Thank you! And congratulations.
Thanks, heaps. Appreciate it. How is Matilda doing this week?
She's doing really well? Yeah?
Yep, yep, settling in.
(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Sparkle in your eye.
And me? Yeah, g'day, Ricky.
Oh, hey. Yeah, no, this is exciting.
(LAUGHTER)
I'm getting nothing here, Shell. Seriously.
Come on, Ricky. Come on, mate. Oh!
Good to see you. Thanks for acknowledging me.
No problem. I acknowledge your hard work from last week.
He really put one in for the team. He slogged it out.
Didn't he? Yes. Yep, sure did.
It was my first time meeting Shelley 'cause I was away last week.
I'll never forget meeting Shelley for the first time.
Me either, no.
Shelley is stunning, yeah! (EXHALES)
(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I may or may not have had a crush on her, and I might still...do,
but who wouldn't?
She's Shelley.
(ROMANTIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
She's gonna see this and be like, "What a freak."
"What an idiot." (LAUGHS)
Well, welcome back. How does it feel to be on The Block?
Yeah, good to be back.
It's really interesting.
I know, Ricky, you took the judges' comments hard...
I did.
..but have you had a look at your bathroom?
(OMINOUS INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I'm pretty happy with it.
(LAUGHS) Like, did you actually think you were gonna win?
Yeah, absolutely I did! Yeah. OK.
Shelley, little bit harsh! Wow, Shelley!
To be fair, I finished my painting at about 4:00, 5:00 in the morning.
So, as my eyes were looking at each other and I turned the lights on,
I was like, "Yes, this is a winning bathroom."
"This is a winning bathroom."
So, tell me about this room, because we got a telly in here.
We do.
Because this must be a second lounge or something, or what is it?
No, no, teenager's room. Teenager's room!
The teenager's room
being knocked together by the plumber and IT manager
can be found down the hall from last week's bathroom.
It features a bunkbed, TV with a gaming station,
and on their wardrobe, an interactive animal world map.
This is a piece that Anton Thomas designed.
It took him three years to make.
Every animal in the world on it - 642.
Oh, fair dinkum!
It's never been put on a wall before.
It's taken him three years to put together.
Wow! So, we're gonna be the first to...
And it comes with, like, a little interactive book.
So, you find the animal on the wall
and then you've got a little book that you match it to.
It's like a 'Where's Wally?' for the red panda?
Spot on. Correct.
I've already got this at my place. (LAUGHTER)
I got it three years ago. Right.
(LAUGHTER)
I think they were pretty intrigued with the wallpaper,
being a massive piece of artwork.
It's taken quite a while to put together and...
There was no comments like, "That's amazing."
No. No.
Scotty did say that he had one at his house, so...
Yeah. I reckon he was taking the piss.
He might've been.
Righto, come on, Shell. We'll get out of here.
Oh, my god! Alright, time to go.
See you soon. Alright.
Bye! Thanks, Shell! Thanks, Scotty!
Coming up, Dan finds a flaw in House Five...
I don't know if it's an illusion
or if that's bowing, this bulkhead.
(DRAMATIC IMPACT)
Yeah, as soon as he walks in, he's like,
"That's out."
It's a David Bowie wall.
Building 101. You don't want a bowing bulkhead.
Kristian, you're fired.
And the pressure is too much for Jesse and Paige.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
JESSE: I'm sick of wasting time!
That's all we're doing - wasting time!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
(THUNDER RUMBLES, PENGUINS CALL)
SHELLEY: Which contestants do you think
are creating a winning room this week?
To cast your vote,
all you have to do is
head to The Block website now,
and while you're there,
don't forget to check out all of our amazing room galleries.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
(UPBEAT POP MUSIC)
SCOTT: Time for Shelley and I to continue
taking a stickybeak at the contestants bedrooms.
Next stop is House Four.
Parents Kylie and Brad have had a tough time
after some bad feedback at last week's judging.
The only thing I like about this room is the skylight,
because when I'm looking up,
I don't have to see anything else in this room.
It's alright. It's week one.
(CRIES)
Well, hello. Oh, my goodness!
Hello! Hello!
Look at this!
How are you both? Hey. How are you?
The hairdresser and sparky are doing a guest bedroom.
They're steering away from their love of all black this week
by incorporating a peach-coloured plaster bedhead,
colourful accessories, and a black Kinsman wardrobe,
but before we get to that...
Um, how are you going as a couple?
Oh, look, it's the roller-coaster. Better this week.
OK, so, you've got four kids, right?
Yeah.
(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
You know stressful times. Yeah, no drama.
You know that you're going to have differing of opinion.
Oh, 100%. Yeah, it's just how you...
We're complete polar opposites, Brad and I,
and we've never spent this much time together.
We have. Not really.
On holiday. Not like this.
Brad and I work six days a week.
So, we spend a Sunday together,
and we're normally doing chores, groceries,
running around like crazy people,
and it's really not spending time together.
So, even the drive when we were picking up the kitchen,
I was like, "Oh, we get to spend time together."
But aren't we? Aren't we running around like crazy people?
Yeah, we are. We are still running around like crazy people.
Absolutely running around like crazy people.
The first question I was gonna ask is,
are we taking on board the judges' feedback
or are we moving in our own direction?
Well, look, I've taken it on.
I've scaled back compared to where I was first at.
OK.
MARTY: This is heavy. This is dark.
If they continue this theme throughout the other rooms,
this is going to be possibly the biggest disaster
we've seen in 20 seasons.
So, I'm trying to scale back,
and then we're softening with the floor colouring.
Yes.
Because you know, if I had it my way, it'd be black.
Well, see, I don't... I don't mind that either...
No, you can't have a black bedroom.
No.
But remember, you might have that at your place,
but we're selling this joint.
Exactly.
So, people...that polarises the buyer...
Yes. ..100%.
Not if you get it right - it doesn't at all.
People go, "Wow, that's something I haven't seen before. I love it."
Who wants a black bedroom? No-one wants a black bedroom.
But they haven't seen it yet, so how do they know?
Black can be beautiful. Yeah.
Black can be very sophisticated... Yeah.
..and black can also be very island beachy,
and so you've gotta go with your gut.
Yeah, I think so.
And again, the judges are looking at one room.
They're going, "Oooh, how is this gonna work down here?"
Now you've gotta prove to them... Yeah.
..that it IS going to work, and it is considered throughout the home,
and I have not just done that on a random whim.
Yes.
This is what I'm gonna tie throughout the home.
So, you're backing yourself, and I think you've gotta give it a go.
Yeah, I do need to back it, 'cause if I start changing it now,
I'm gonna get completely lost, and then...
Yes. ..I'll end up with...
It just won't have any flow to it.
She's gotta back herself... Yeah.
..and sometimes she gets beaten around and questions it a bit, so...
You've got a vision. You've gotta stick with it.
(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
So, now I'm second-guessing everything, because I am.
I'm just doing something that I feel like the judges may like,
but it's not really...
What you want. What I want.
(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
While Kylie questions her entire room,
offsite, Paige has been shopping,
having finally found some styling inspiration.
PAIGE: # Let's hit the road. #
There's so many birds here.
(GOOSE HONKS)
So many birds.
(GOOSE HONKS)
(MIMICS SQUAWK) Yeah.
You know?
(PENGUINS CALL)
(GOOSE HONKS)
(DRAMATIC IMPACT, QUACKING)
(SINGS INDISTINCTLY)
I'm really happy.
The duck was a pivot.
(JAUNTY PIANO MUSIC)
I loved the duck. I fell in love with the duck.
That's cool, honey.
It's really funny,
because it's not something that I would ever choose...
"But I like it"? But I love it!
It's really weird!
Like, I don't know, I actually really, really love this.
It's very funny,
because it's not a piece that I would usually gravitate to,
but I saw it and I saw my whole life in it.
(MYSTICAL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I saw the room, I saw the house - I saw everything.
I saw Phillip Island. (DUCK QUACKS)
I (BLEEP) love it!
It's so special! So special!
I'm showing everyone my duck.
I'm like, "Go have a look. It's in there.
"Go have a little peek. Have a little peek."
Do you wanna get a picture of me and my duck?
(CAMERA SNAPS)
# Ain't gotta stress, baby... #
So, we're almost finished all the hard part,
like, in terms of the construction of the room.
Now it's just about the execution and painting and sanding
and all that sort of stuff.
So, feeling good.
(DRAMATIC IMPACT)
('LET'S DANCE' BY DAVID BOWIE PLAYS)
I don't know if it's an illusion,
or if that's bowing, this bulkhead.
(DRAMATIC IMPACT)
Yeah, as soon as he walks in, he's like,
"That's out."
It's a David Bowie wall.
('LET'S DANCE' BY DAVID BOWIE PLAYS)
Oh, yeah!
See that?
3mm gap.
Building 101. You don't want a bowing bulkhead.
# Ground Control to Major Tom... #
There's no bow.
Honestly, that's the first thing I could see when I walked...
..when I looked through that doorway.
MIMI: You got a good eye.
Well, that's my job.
He hold...he held a straight edge onto it and it was, like...
..that much...it was tiny.
Is that illegal, Dan? Illegal...
Structurally, there's nothing wrong with it,
but you just see it - that's the only problem.
If it's not illegal, then I'm OK with it.
Yeah. 'Illegal' is not the word.
Maybe we just go with it and make it even more bow-ey.
('MODERN LOVE' BY DAVID BOWIE PLAYS)
That was the thing. It's a curve. It's a curve now.
(LAUGHS) Oh, my god.
We should have done that.
And let's put a photo of David Bowie on there -
in honour of.
Like a...(CLICKS TONGUE) ..plaque or something.
Like a... (CLICKS TONGUE) (CLICKS TONGUE)
('MODERN LOVE' BY DAVID BOWIE PLAYS)
Can't we put putty on it? Putty?
That'd be a lot of putty. (LAUGHS) That's illegal.
(LAUGHS) That's a lot of putty.
Just trying to build a multimillion-dollar house.
Hoping the judges don't see it.
So, who do we need to fire?
DAN: (LAUGHS) No-one!
(LAUGHS) Who do we need to fire?
Yeah. Kristian, you're fired! You.
Kristian!

SCOTT: We're midway through our walkarounds
for Guest Bedroom Week on Phillip Island.
Shell, this is the guys from Hyperwave,
because, of course, we need good Internet here on the island.
Chris! How are you, mate? G'day, Scotty. How are you, mate?
Great to see you. Shelley.
G'day. Hi. Lovely to meet you. How you going? Nice to meet you.
Now, Chris saved us at Gisborne.
(COW MOOS) Because we were a bit remote there.
Now we're on the island... Even more.
..our teams need great super fast Internet to shop,
and Hyperwave has turned up here.
We're getting incredible Internet for them to do all that.
So, of course, we don't want them
to drive to town all the time for two hours.
No, it's a lot of online ordering. Absolutely.
I mean, what sort of speed are you delivering for us, Chris?
Aiming for about 500 megabits at the moment.
Oooh, jeez, look at it go! Wow!
I know. It's incredible. Incredible!
That is incredible.
And in House Two,
Courtney is burning up every bit of the megabyte goodness.
(UPBEAT ROCK RHYTHMS)
Oooh! Hello!
Hello! GRANT: Hello!
Look at her tippity-tap-tap on the computer already.
How are you, guys? Really good. How are you?
Married couple Courtney and Grant
have decided to present their guest bedroom
as a kids' room this week.
Their room includes striped wallpaper,
an arched wall acting as a bedhead,
and a desk area within their wardrobe.
Is that a miniature...? I was about to say... (LAUGHS)
Is that a stool for ants?
I'm not having a good time. (LAUGHTER)
I did get a stool for ants. I didn't look at...
Courtney's stylish, not practical, so she doesn't look at sizes.
I don't look at sizing, I just order it really quickly.
I've ordered two of them. (LAUGHS)
They are supposed to be kids' stools,
and I'm gonna have two next to each other,
and this is just way too small.
No, look, I'd be putting it in my bathroom
and using it to shave my legs.
To shave your legs! Oh, shave your legs.
That's what I would do with that. Good point!
What else have you got?
Yeah, so, this is, um... so, we're doing a kids' bedroom.
Right. Yes. For under ten.
We've got the arch, which is gonna be, like, a pistachio green.
The arch is awesome! Yeah.
Yeah, no lighting. Yeah. So, sort of a reverse bedhead.
Yes, yes. If that makes sense.
Two single beds coming out of the arch.
Mm-hm.
We were trying to get as much, like, sleeping in as possible...
Yes, yes. ..in this bedroom as possible.
If it's a holiday home, the kid wants to bring their friend,
if you wanna take them on a holiday or whatever.
Or if there's a couple of kids in the family, they can share,
'cause it's only a holiday home.
Yep, yep. Yes.
I'm assuming you're tapping on there about your budget, are you?
No, I actually was doing my little look-and-feel.
We have an issue. We have a problem with your budget.
Why?
What happened?
Well, you spent, on your bathroom, $33,000.
And the rest. Ohh!
Wasn't there more?
No, that's just cash!
We gave you 20,000.
But you're 13,000 over.
You can't do this. No.
Well, we didn't intend to do it.
But I mean, the fact that you're saying you didn't intend to do it
means that you weren't looking at it.
So, basically, there was a few issues...
Chippies, tradies.
..leading up, which then pushed out,
so our tilers were waiting around, our plasterers were waiting around.
So, their bills were high in relation to what was happening.
It's really not our problem that we're over in labour.
I mean... It IS our problem! (LAUGHS)
No, hold on. It comes down to... Cut! And that's the show.
No...
It's not our problem that we're over in labour.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Historically, and I've done this a lot,
you'll run out of coin on about week six.
I know.
I'm just giving you a friendly push. OK...
Yep. Yeah. Appreciate that.
..to say don't do that again.
Yeah. I know.
Our budget talk was like getting a lecture from my dad...
Yes.
..which I used to get a lot when I was younger.
(DRAMATIC IMPACT)
You guys, as a couple, are fantastic, right? I love you.
OK. Thanks, Scotty.
But you're bluers, aren't you? You blue a bit.
I love that too. You have a barney. (LAUGHTER)
Shut up!
You're in a mood. YOU'RE in a mood!
You're in a mood. YOU are in a mood.
You're in a mood.
Stop being a hot-headed pest! You're like an angry little gremlin.
Mmm!
I already feel so much better.
How does this love language work?
It's... It's very weird.
Nobody really understands it. (LAUGHS)
Well, we think, "Oh, well, they're getting divorced."
Yeah, yeah, they think it's on the rocks, basically.
And both our parents are like, "Are you guys OK?
"Like, why are you fighting so much?"
I'm like, "It's just how we are." Yeah.
Oh, is that right - your parents say that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's...
So, we don't need to worry? It's all banter.
This is normal? BOTH: This is normal.
OK, I can relax! Scott said to me, he goes...
Yeah, don't worry.
We don't need any counselling just yet.
No, no, that's alright. Like, I'll let you know.
I just...I walk in and I hear you screaming.
I go, "Arggh!" Go back out.
(LAUGHTER)
I mean, but I don't call it a fight. It's a bicker.
It's a love language. And that's how we, like, get along.
Like, we're more mates than romantic...people.
Mates?
Yeah, like...
I hope you don't sleep with your mates.
(LAUGHS)
(SWEEPING ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)
(DRAMATIC IMPACT)
# Black is black... #
Everyone is just telling me to stick to my guns.
What did I envision? Black.
And the only reason I was going away from it
is I was just trying to please the judges.
I'm changing the artwork. That's the main one.
Changing the colour of the paint - to black...and white -
and then just accessorising, just in...monochrome.
Do you love how crazy I am?
So, having changed her mind again,
Kylie's ditching the peach wall and colourful artwork
and going back to black.
Alright, so, back to Mitre 10 for black paint.
# Black is black
# I want my baby back... #
Kylie! Me again.
I need some more black paint.
Black! Black!
The shade last time was the wrong shade.
Wrong shade of black? Yeah.
# Black is black... #
(MUSIC DISTORTS AND SILENCES)
Look, the right shade of black is really hard.
We've got Black Caviar.
Not black enough. Not black enough?
Probably blue-ish, greyish for you. Yeah, too grey.
Too blue in this domino? Too blue, yes.
Yeah, and see - they're all too light.
I can't be the only one wanting just black.
I don't want purple undertone, no blue undertone.
I just want black that tastes like real black.
(LAUGHS) "Black that tastes like real black."
Maybe I've got, like, a black heart, like a sad person.
Maybe I'm, like, emo.
# Where are you... #
So, that's gonna be the blackest black?
That'll be our blackest black.
Alright, well, I guess that's gonna have to be the blackest black.
75% happy with that choice.
That's why I'm only getting four litres of it.
So, that's why I said I'll be back if it's not the right black.
I'll be back tomorrow.
Excellent! I'll look forward to it.
I'll just be doing a mercy dash tomorrow
to get rug, linens, cushions.
I changed my art.
Maybe pendants or lamps.
It's basically everything but...
(LAUGHS)
Everything but... The bed.
Well, everything...well, true, but it probably will change still.
What?
(KYLIE LAUGHS)
(PENGUINS CALL)
SCOTT: It's Guest Bedroom Week in season 20 of The Block -
the biggest, hardest game on television.
(DRIVING ROCK RHYTHMS)
(MUSIC SILENCES)
OK, maybe for some.
COURTNEY: I'm on a cheeky lunch break.
I was just really hungry.
Shell, these guys have had a really tough...I'm not gonna say week.
I'm gonna say, like...stay at The Block.
Yeah. Oh, no! OK.
And it's been very much a roller-coaster.
Let's see if we can help at all.
Oooh! Oooh, we got lights on already. Hello!
Hi! Hi, Shelley!
Good morning! Hello! How are you? How are you?
Hey, Scotty. We're hugging!
Sorry if I'm a bit dusty.
Oh, don't be crazy! G'day, mate. Hi, Shelley. How are you?
I'm good. How are you? I'm well, thank you.
Hi, Scotty. Hello, Paige.
I got hugs in House Five, so I just wanted hugs in House One.
Lovely! Hugs all round. Very happy with that.
We need it! (LAUGHS)
You feeling it?
Scotty did tell me it's been a really...really rough ride.
It's been crazy so far.
We're on a roller-coaster of emotions at the moment, aren't we?
Yeah. But, yeah.
I mean, I had a great first week. I was so happy.
Yeah. Feeling good.
I think I crashed a bit yesterday.
I'm feeling the effects of no sleep at the moment.
But that's OK. You're allowed to have crappy days.
Yeah. Yeah.
You know, the world isn't always roses
and you're allowed to feel like this is really, really hard.
Yeah. 'Cause it is! It's damn hard!
It definitely is, yeah. Yeah.
I know, Paige, that you're struggling with your design style.
Yeah, I really did. I struggled in this room in particular.
This one I was just hitting and missing
with the things that I was buying.
We're, I guess, struggling with ideas
of how to create, I guess, rooms.
Yeah. Bedrooms, especially.
Bedrooms are just my hardest point, I think.
'Cause they're just a square box. Especially, like...
You just gotta trust yourselves and run with your gut and just do it.
It doesn't matter if you get bad feedback,
because you just do it,
and what you're doing is the endgame -
is building a house to sell at the end.
Hopefully you win along the way as well,
but you just gotta get in there
and not...not worry too much about the process.
Yeah.
You just gotta relax.
It's The Block, it's hard, and just do it.
Yep. Do you regret coming here?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
No? No, definitely not.
You love it? Yeah, love it.
100%, then, get into it.
(DYNAMIC ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
Jesse and Paige are also doing a guest bedroom,
which is located here.
It will feature wainscotting, striped linen Grafico wallpaper,
and they're gonna put that duck print here between the wall sconces.
Are you doing skirting boards or...?
Yeah. Yes?
So, the plan is we're gonna have kind of, like, my skirting boards
and I'm gonna create, like, a bit of, like, timber panelling look,
and then above that we're having wallpaper.
OK. Yep.
Well, that'll save you some painting.
Yes, it will. Yeah.
It's a charcoal colour. Oooh, that's cute!
Yeah, I like that.
It's a linen texture as well. Wow.
Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty!
There's gonna be a lot of texture in here.
And I think we'll just...we'll find our feet with, I guess, like...
You will.
..design ideas and how to, I guess, style our room.
Like, still questioning what looks best
and, like, with wallpaper
and what timber panelling and ideas,
and we're still just finding our feet
on using the right, I guess, materials and...
Mmm.
I was listening to the judging on Sunday and I went,
"Marty loves it, Shaynna hates it, Darren sits in the middle."
So, this week it'll be Darren loves it, Shaynna hates it,
and Marty's gonna sit in the middle.
Don't worry about it. Yeah, you never know.
I've got a great wardrobe, I've got a door, I've got some lighting.
Happy! I'm on holiday. (BLEEP), who cares?
Yeah. Yep. You know us.
Did you... I did. I did just...
Did you just swear again like a potty mouth?
I'm sorry! I know, I'm sorry. She's got a potty mouth!
I've been on holidays. It's absolutely outrageous.
I've been on holidays since the auctions,
and I've been on my own building site,
and there's a lot of swearing...
It rubs off on you, doesn't it?
You sound like Gordon Ramsey's missus.
I know. Sorry. (LAUGHTER)
I apologise. Sorry. Don't apologise.
Thank you so much, guys. Alright, chill...
Yep. ..and enjoy.
I think that's probably the best advice I needed,
is, "Don't worry, just chill."
Yeah.
I feel like there's been a, like,
I guess a weight lifted off my shoulders, like...
And all it takes sometimes is a little bit of advice
just of how to be and how to act and how to kind of,
when there's things out of your control, just roll with it.
Just relax. (LAUGHS) Come on, Shell. Let's go.
Thank you so much, guys. See ya!
Lovely to see you. I know.
It's wonderful for a Friday. I'll see you soon.
('AS IT WAS' BY HARRY STYLES PLAYS)
# As it was... #
Now that the walkarounds are done and dusted for another week,
I've got one more surprise for our Blockheads
that will hopefully lift morale.
('I WAS MADE FOR LOVIN' YOU' BY KISS PLAYS)
Where's that come from, mate? Is that next door?
('I WAS MADE FOR LOVIN' YOU' BY KISS PLAYS)
I thought the site was burning down.
('I WAS MADE FOR LOVIN' YOU' BY KISS)
MIMI: We just see this orange smoke in our garage
and I was like, "OK, we're getting gassed out.
"This is how we die."
('I WAS MADE FOR LOVIN' YOU' BY KISS PLAYS)
We followed the smoke. Like, we didn't know what was going on.
It was Scotty. Scotty Cam. It was Scotty.
('I WAS MADE FOR LOVIN' YOU' BY KISS PLAYS)
Come on. GRANT: Is that Scotty?
I didn't know you were a football hooligan.
(LAUGHS)
# I was made for lovin' you, baby
# You were made for lovin' me... #
Oh! When is it gonna run out?
MAN: Oh, there it goes. Right, let's go!
This is the Green Room,
where the contestants can relax after judging.
(CHATTER)
And there's been a hidden surprise in here since day one.
WOMAN: So am I. WOMAN: Oh, my god.
Now, while you guys have been lounging around here
for the last week,
I think there is something that you failed to notice.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Amongst all our pictures of contestants past,
there's some photos of Shell and yours truly up there as well.
It's not there because we wanted to show you
how much of a good-looking bunch we are, or Shell is -
not me, certainly.
There is something behind these that you are absolutely going to love.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
You ready? CONTESTANTS: Yes.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Oh, I haven't changed... I haven't changed a bit.
(LAUGHTER)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
(UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC)
(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM) Oh, amazing!
The Hipages lever is back.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
But this year with a twist.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
There's another one there. Two!
(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Here! Three!
Oh! GRANT: It's gotta be.
Yeah. (CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)
Backyard Week.
Surely these guys didn't get one.
(CHEERING AND LAUGHTER)
They did! I can't believe it.
This year the Hipages lever has been assigned to a particular room
and it's the room that we have decided
where we think that you guys need the most help.
(TENSE ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
And the rooms that were up for grabs
were the backyard, the front yard...
Rumpus.
Living-dining, and kitchen.
So, there's five different levers for the five hardest rooms...
(TENSE ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
..and each team can only pull one.
Plasterers, carpenters, landscapers - Hipages has it all.
Now, the Hipages lever will give you 10,000 bucks
worth of trusted tradies...
(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)
..but this year there's another twist.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
Hipages are also gonna give you 5,000 bucks cash
to buy something nice
for that specific room that you're doing that week.
That's awesome. If you pull the lever.
OK. Fantastic!
The question is, which team is gonna pull which lever on what week?
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Well, that is the other twist. That's all up to you guys.
You gotta work that out.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
It's gonna be fantastic! Oh, Body Corp!
There's definitely some very competitive contestants
here in this series.
Everyone's pretty friendly now,
and I don't know how long that's gonna last.
Now, while we're here, we need to update the All Star Wall,
because if you win a room on this season of The Block,
you get to join the All Star Wall!
(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM) Wow!
So, it's time for Tess and Luke to go...
(LAUGHTER)
..and for Kristian and Mimi to go up!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
How good!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Congratulations.
See you later. Back to work.
We'll take the backyard one. Yeah, so will we.
(CHATTER)
I think we all wanted backyard.
Backyard? Backyard.
The backyard.
Everyone wanted landscaping. Yeah.
I think that, you know, friendships,
the early friendships that have been formed
will most likely be tested.
Will cracks form?
(THUNDER RUMBLES, PENGUINS CALL)
(CHILLED ELECTRONIC BEATS)
SHELLEY: To see more of The Block,
head online for loads of exclusive extras,
and why not get social with fellow Blockaholics
by giving at theblock a follow
and going behind the scenes with our teams?

For his birthday?
Yeah. Yeah.
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
The most important thing,
when you got guys that are working OT pretty much every day,
you really wanna make sure that they enjoy it,
as much as they can.
Happy birthday, mate. Thanks, mate.
Yeah, wouldn't be an 18th birthday unless you got a slab
of one of the best beers going around, mate.
Storm. From ALDI.
BOTH: # Happy birthday to you
# Happy birthday, dear Mitchy
# Happy birthday to you! #
Might have got a couple of Ricky inspirational speeches.
Make sure you only drink six this weekend,
'cause we really actually need you next week.
So, drink 'em responsibly
and come back ready to go next week, alright?
And drive safe.
Well done, man. Well done, brother.
Thanks, boys. No worries. Take it easy.
Have a good one! Legend, mate.
We'll be having Christmas together this year, probably.
Now we're out of beers.
We just gave away our last slab.
Back to ALDI. Yeah, alright.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
The room is definitely starting to take shape.
We have to sand. I did it by hand. Kristian used a machine.
(UPBEAT MUSIC CONTINUES)
Mimi?
They made this for a reason, and it's to make your life easier.
I like making my life harder!
You don't have to use your...
Save your arm strength for painting tonight!
Kristian, don't worry. I got this.
# Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the grave... #
KYLIE: Left to do is painting.
Peach is no longer.
And then Brad said,
"How are we gonna go if we paint over the peach
"and then we wanna bring the peach back?"
Stranger things have happened.
I'm gonna commit to the black.
(UPBEAT DANCE MUSIC)
We haven't got actually too much sheeting left to go.
We got the heater cranking in our room
to help dry the last of the plaster.
It was about 60 degrees in there while we were sanding.
Oh, it's minimum 60!
It is like a sauna, bro. That's it, brother!
Oh, my god, it is warm.
(UPBEAT DANCE MUSIC)
Gotta get the painting done. We can sleep tomorrow.
COURTNEY: Styling tomorrow night and cleaning tomorrow night.

We're under a lot of pressure,
but, like, with Jesse, we're going well
and then sometimes we're not.
(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)
Um, we...
You're just annoying to talk to sometimes.
(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)
Straight up.
Like, you can just get so rigid
and...like, a bit rude.
(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)
PAIGE: I didn't know the panelling would be this thick.
It just looks dumb!
You didn't really tell me if you wanted skinny or...
I just...I went with what I thought.
But you never asked me, you never... that's the thing, you just...
OK, well...OK, well, let's just think of a solution now,
because we're not... there's no point.
Um, that day, I'm the one who's carrying all the...not...sorry.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I'm carrying a lot of the weight and the pressure,
because I'm on the phone, I'm making decisions,
I'm, like...my mind is...
Making decisions? I was right there with you.
My mind is in 15 places at once
and I think it just got a little bit too much, that day,
and there's a clear flashback to week one,
and...it was running smoothly
