SCOTT CAM: Previously, with two rooms done and dusted,
some of the Blockheads are finding their feet,
like South Australians Kristian and Mimi,
who have two back-to-back wins in the bag.
It's Kristian and Mimi! (CHEERING)
(WHISPERS) Back-to-back.
Courtney and Grant from New South Wales
have come a close second in both weeks.
Half a point. I know. Nearly there again.
It hurts not to win, obviously.
But clashing with their builders on budget hasn't made it easy.
You spent 33 grand on trades. You're 13 over.
Literally gone to the point of going, "This is when you promised,
"this is when they started, this is the delay,
"this is what's coming out of your bill."
INTERVIEWER: Are you gonna talk to your builder about that,
make sure that that's managed or...?
Yeah, we want to... We want to chat to them properly.
SCOTT: Meanwhile, West Aussies Jesse and Paige
have just been clashing with each other...
Don't talk over me!
..which wasn't helped by not finishing their first bathroom.
I know that you're struggling. Yeah, I know.
But you've just got to relax.
PAIGE: Do you need to re-evaluate if you want to be here?
Tonight, it's a new week and it's another bathroom,
which has got Jesse and Paige rattled.
..where I did swear at Foreman Dan.
Pretty much told him to (BLEEP) off.
MAN: (ON PHONE) So we're not getting walls tomorrow, then?
Are you (BLEEP) with me?
Why do you have to carry on like this?
You're being such a narcissist right now.
(TEARFULLY) You never want to talk to me
and you never want to listen to me!
As the master ensuites get underway...
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS)
..some Block All-Stars drop by.
MIMI: No way. Is that Jimmy and Tam? No way!
You're coming with us.
And Courtney and Grant confront their builders over cost blowouts.
COURTNEY: You guys are taking the piss.
You caused multiple delays.
You kept trades waiting around.
Enough's enough. Seven grand's the number.
If you don't want it, just let me know now
so we can move forward, yeah?

# Run you down Down to the dark
The Blockheads are waking up from their second week of judging
after presenting a guest bedroom last night.
INTERVIEWER: How did you go at judging?
How did you feel after judging?
I'm gonna say you weren't loving it.
Didn't love.
# And way down we go... #
SCOTT: Winner of week two, Kristian and Mimi again.
(APPLAUSE) There we go.
KYLIE: Clearly, our style is not the judges' style.
# Way down we go... #
BRAD: Kylie sort of struggled with some of the comments
and stuff like that
and just...she takes it...
She... Well, you're real proud about it.
# Way down we go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh... #
BRAD: She didn't handle it very well at all.
Spent a good couple of hours in town trying to convince her to come back.
DAN: What, last night? Oh, no.
That bad? That bad.
She's just, like, hating on herself because of how proud she is
that she's not been able to deliver,
so now she just doesn't know what style to do,
which has already beaten her around last week.
And then they come in and said to make the white cooler
after Shelley said to make it warmer.
Thank you. WOMAN: Oh, sorry.
Fair enough. No, these guys need...
They need to be picked up today.
SCOTT: So, we know what the judges thought
about the style of Kylie and Brad's last-place guest bedroom...
I feel like this room doesn't belong here.
It feels like Art Deco. Does it say beach to me?
"This is not a look you want to go for for a holiday home."
This morning, it's time to find out what the Blockheads reckon.
PAIGE: Ooh-la-la!
COURTNEY: Oh, my gosh. It smells so nice in here.
GRANT: Yeah, it does. It smells like bubblegum.
MIMI: I think it's really nice.
KRISTIAN That bedhead's cool.
Oh, my god. It's such a nice lecture.
JESSE: I know Kylie said she's not totally in love with it.
I know what she means by she's had to strip herself back a bit.
HAYDN: Yeah, look, completely different to their first bath.
Like, they had full black tones everywhere.
RICKY: Mmm.
And this is probably not what Kylie wanted.
I think they got harshly judged on this, to be honest.
Heaps better than ours. I know.
I don't know how... Heaps better!
Equal last with Kylie and Brad
were the Victorian mates Ricky and Haydn in house three.
DARREN: You got your bunkbeds.
Yes, but are they in the right spot?
That is so smart for kids. Yeah.
Because it's interchangeable.
But the painting of the ceiling's really rough.
This has been an easier week. I was expecting more from them.
MIMI: Oh! Are you joking?
KRISTIAN: (LAUGHS) That's... Are you kidding?
PAIGE: This is cute. I really like this.
They talked about, when you walk in,
you feel like you're staring at a bed, but I don't think that.
I was expecting the bed to be, like, right here.
COURTNEY: In terms of styling, they nailed it.
Colour palette looks really good.
It's literally just the finishes.
GRANT: They needed to sand it back a bit.
It would've been OK but they didn't sand it.
KYLIE: They've done well.
In third place on 27 points
were the engaged couple from house one, Jesse and Paige.
SHAYNNA: This just goes "Whoa! I'm here!"
It's so cosy. Like, I have walked in here and I really feel at home.
This is sexy... Yeah.
..and this is classy. Absolutely.
They're on the right path.
RICKY: That wallpaper's awesome. HAYDN: Yeah, that's sick.
Look at that. Yeah, that is sick.
KYLIE: Imagine me picking it, if I did black and white.
They'd come in here going, "Oh, it's so pretty"
and then I have black-and-white and they're, like,
"Oh, well, it hurts my eyes." 100%.
This should've won. Yeah.
Jesus. Good room.
MIMI: (GASPS) There is ribbing on the handles.
I repeat, there is ribbing on the handles.
RICKY: How much of a better finish is that ceiling than ours!
(LAUGHS) HAYDN: Much better.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Can't even see a join.
BRAD: Why can I see daylight through there?
Yeah, that's not finished.
That's just raw gyprock.
MIMI: Good job.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
In second place on 27.5
were the bridesmaids for the second week running,
married couple Courtney and Grant from house two.
Look at this! How good is this!
"This room delivers personality in spades."
But there was one glaring issue that tripped them up.
MARTY: You're gonna break... You're gonna break your toe.
Bingo. That's something you kick your foot on and break your toe on.
MIMI: Oh, my god. KRISTIAN: So cute!
How did we win?
(LAUGHS) Shut up.
Whew. Oooh. Beautiful.
How good's this! Nice.
Yeah, that's a toe-breaker, isn't it?
Yeah, that is.
Toe-breaker. I think that's the half a point right there.
JESSE: Well, I do understand. PAIGE: Yeah, that...
I would've been putting that more closer to the edge.
(GROWLING)
KYLIE: I hate that green.
That green is the ugliest green I've ever seen in my life.
I guess they took it from that.
It's not even the same colour!
Stop touching things!
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Just half a point ahead of Courtney and Grant
were South Australian newlyweds Kristian and Mimi,
taking out the win for the second week in a row.
This is another level. This is a very high calibre.
Marty thinks you are now taking the buyer on a journey
with the rooms represented so far.
And if they can continue this journey throughout,
these guys are gonna be extremely hard to beat.
JESSE: Oh, nice. Door doesn't shut, though.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Oh, it looks so pretty.
GRANT: It is a very nice room.
RICKY: Phwoar!
Yeah, that's sick. Wow.
Yeah, I think Mimi... Mimi's got style, eh?
Like, she knows how to zhuzh.
How's the zhuzh!
Yeah, the zhuzh is nice.
Can you touch... That's a Mimi zhuzh. Yeah.
JESSE: They've delivered once again, haven't they?
Oh, man, look at all this plastering and how nice it is!
(LAUGHS) Ours is just carnage. Wow.
Smashing it. Yep.
Good work, guys.
INTERVIEWER: What did you think about their place?
KYLIE: Mmm...
What do you reckon?
Look, they've done well.
It's just we've all got such different styles.
We really do.
What do you like and what don't you like?
INTERVIEWER: Are you surprised that they've won twice?
Um... Not really.
Clearly it's what the judges are looking for.
I hate the colour. I'm so not a green person.
I say that standing here with green hair
but I actually don't like green.
(LIGHTNING CRACKS, ELECTRICS FIZZ) (PENGUINS BRAY)
# It's tricky to rock a rhyme To rock a rhyme that's right on time
# It's tricky... #
SCOTT: A brand-new week means a brand-new room,
which the Blockheads found out all about earlier this morning.
# When I wake up, people take up mostly all of my time... #
BRAD: Master ensuite week. Another bathroom.
INTERVIEWER: This is your chance to redeem yourself, is it not?
Or... Or make a mess of it again.
# It's tricky How is it... #
Well, at least Courtney and Grant from house two
are feeling a bit more upbeat about knocking up a master ensuite.
It's the second wet area for the competition
and generally excited about it... Yeah.
..because we missed out on the win by such a small margin in week one.
It's Kristian and Mimi! (CHEERING)
INTERVIEWER: So, you guys are following through
on a style that you established well and truly in week one.
Like, we knew it was gonna be a modern Mediterranean style.
(LAUGHS) What?
No, I'm just saying, like, they would've thrown any house at you
and you would've stuck with modern Mediterranean.
No, it's Phillip Island... Red brick home...
"OK. Let's do Mediterranean."
No, I would've tweaked it a little bit
but Phillip Island, like, it doesn't have to just be coastal.
It can be coastal in a different way.
SCOTT: Located right next door to their week one main bathroom,
Grant and Courtney's 'coastal in a different way' master ensuite
is showing off the same marble stone from their week one bathroom
on the vanity and in the shower niche.
They also plan to feature floor-to-ceiling chequerboard tiles
and gold-coloured tapware.
INTERVIEWER: How much did Scotty allocate
in terms of his guideline budget?
Master ensuite was 23,000. COURTNEY: Yep.
(CASH REGISTER DINGS)
SCOTT: And budget is a touchy subject for Courtney and Grant,
as there is still an outstanding money matter
hanging over the married couple's head -
a bill for 198 hours of labour from their builders...
for their week one main bathroom.
(BLEEP), honestly, if we don't fix this,
I don't know how I'm gonna crawl that back.
Just to put that in perspective, a 4m x 2m room is 8 square metres,
so Courtney and Grant's builders
are charging about 25 hours per square metre
to knock up prefab walls and do a subfloor.
That's about double what our other Blockheads are paying.
INTERVIEWER: You said, "OK, I want to reduce it by, what?"
Reduction of about $6,500.
Which brings... A significant amount.
Yeah, which would bring his...
If we looked at his hours
would bring his hours to around 100 hours for the week,
which is probably more, you know, in a fair realm.
You guys are taking the piss.
Everyone else has only done, like, 100 hours.
GRANT: If that. If that. Your hours are double.
In terms of labour, as everyone else...
And we all created the same bathrooms.
Aside from... Aside from...
Sorry, but aside from everybody else,
you can't say that 198 hours is a fair amount of time to charge
for a 4m x 2m room.
What the issue is, aside from the amount of hours,
is the amount of delays that was caused
and the amount of times you told me to keep trades around
when we didn't need them around.
We were never gonna be ready...
We're happy to come to a compromise but I think saying...
Yeah, I think saying "We're gonna pay half the invoice" is a bit rich.
You guys weren't efficient with your time at 198 hours.
It's a direct comparison to people
with bigger bathrooms on that week...
You can't compare, though. No, you can. You can.
You can definitely compare.
If you ask any person on a job site
whether 198 hours is a fair and reasonable amount of time
for a room of this size with prefabricated frames...
I won't continue to go around and round in circles.
You guys make your choice. We can move forward.
I want to move forward. I'll say it right here on record...
No, no, we want to move... Let me finish my sentence.
I want you to be our builder for the next ten weeks
and I want to be high-fiving and shaking hands
and having a beer at the end of it when we get through the (BLEEP)show
but that's the bill for the first week.
Just let me know what you want to do.
But you won't discuss, like... I've discussed it.
I've told you the amount of delays that you've caused to other trades
by telling them to wait around, by telling them things will be done.
What (BLEEP) happens when we get into the living and dining
and it's a 13m x 5m space? I think...
We'll blow our budget within day one.
You can't compare that because... No, I can.
At the end of the day, like, we want to work with you guys.
We're staying. This is a simple dispute.
And for us, it was, like, I'm back charging you seven grand.
For us, it was, like, well... Stop... Stop just saying...
I didn't ring you, Doug... That's it.
And now after this I'm leaving and we're done.
I didn't just ring you and go, "Hey, mate, I'm back charging seven grand.
"I'm out." I gave you the reasons.
You caused... Let me finish it.
Let me finish it and I'm out. Yep.
You caused multiple delays. You kept trades waiting around.
And then, on top of that, we had people here
when I told them I didn't need you here.
All I've done there is taken into account
the delays that were caused to other trades, alright?
We can debate over two hours or six hours or whatever.
If we're gonna then start delving into your hours
and how many people we didn't need here, like a project manager...
Who came in and pretty much saved the day on Saturday,
organised the electricians to come in
when they were sitting around waiting,
organised the plumbers to come in...
Mate, the electricians and plumbers are run by Nine In Six.
I didn't need you here. Which I went and spoke to.
Yeah, I can speak to them too. I've got a voice.
But you didn't. No, but I can.
But you didn't. But I don't care.
But you didn't, though. (MEN ALL TALK AT ONCE)
Look, I really don't think...
If you think you've got more brains than me, Chris,
we've got a real problem.
I don't think that the tilers...
it's fair for the tilers on Saturday...
It's just one example, all day the whole day Saturday...
They didn't need to be here.
They said it to me with their own mouth, mate.
You're trying to justify 198 hours to build a subfloor frame
and erect a prefabricated steel frame.
Enough's enough. Seven grand's the number.
If you don't want it,
just let me know now so we can move forward, yeah?
Please let me know.
# I'm the bad guy... #
INTERVIEWER: How much did that conversation cost?
(LAUGHS)
COURTNEY: The conversation was tough but it did need to happen. Like...
In all honesty, I don't think they heard what we were saying.
Is it my concern? Not really.
My concern is my budget and delivering a good home.
We won't be able to...
I don't know why the two are walking off right now but anyway...
Maybe they've had enough.
I don't think much work's gonna get done out there.
Alright. What next?
We've got a bathroom to create this week.
I reckon we're gonna win this week.
You know when you just have that feeling?
Depends if our builders want to pull
their (BLEEP) finger out of their arse.
# I'm the bad guy D'uh... #
SCOTT: After taking out their second win in a row last night,
South Aussies Kristian and Mimi are feeling chuffed
about heading into a new week.
# Today is gonna be a wonderful day... #
# Today is gonna be a wonderful day. #
Alright, we've gotta figure out what the...
we're doing with his bathroom.
Number five is the only house on the block this year with a second storey,
which is where Kristian and Mimi's master ensuite is located.
There'll be a lot of walking up and down stairs this week
for the newlyweds
but, hey, at least they've got a bigger space.
Yo, what are we looking at?
As much as that's a plus for us
because we can put more things in there and make it look grand,
it's more work.
More space, more area.
So, when you have the biggest master ensuite,
the question is, how do you fill it?
We were debating whether to incorporate
a bath in the ensuite or not
and it was either a bath and a single shower
or a double shower with no bath.
But I think, due to our planning,
the only bath size that we can fit in there, it's gonna be too small,
so I think we're leaning... No point.
..more towards a double shower.
Kristian and Mimi's idea to chuck out the bath
means that they'll have an oversized shower.
MAN: It's massive. It's a big shower.
Yeah.
But sparky Kristian has a bright idea.
We could even put our towel rails here and here,
inside the shower, 'cause that's not gonna get wet.
Well, it's in your wet zone. It's in the wet zone.
It's in the spray zone. Yep.
But just to make it... just to fill up the space.
So, just so we're all on the same page,
Kristian wants to pop a couple of towel rails in the shower.
On the wall. Inside the thing?
Yes. And it gets wet?
It won't get wet, that's the point, because you've got a...
It's 2m, Mimi. The shower... No, it's gonna get wet.
The shower's gonna go from this line...
You don't know how people shower.
I don't love the plan. I don't know.
But I've had enough of the bathrooms.
We did one two weeks ago.
We've seen how a sparky designs a master ensuite.
Now let's see how plumber Ricky from house three does it.
(LAUGHS) I'm gonna take that off.
(BOTH LAUGH)
That didn't look good.
When I walked out of there at 8:30 Sunday morning, on that first week,
completely cross-eyed after no sleep,
I was actually pretty proud of the room that we were delivering.
So I thought, going into ensuite,
if we could elevate off that and deliver a better room than that,
then we'd definitely be, you know, in winning contention for sure.
HAYDN: We need something extra to win this one.
# But, baby, it's the next best thing... #
Best mates Ricky and Haydn's master ensuite
is also adjacent to their week one main bathroom
and apart from the VJ panelled walls,
their something extra is a giant Velux skylight
that will fill the room with natural light.
They'll also have a double shower, a feature tile
and a sleek double vanity to finish it off.
RICKY: So, yeah, we're due. We're definitely due.
So, hopefully ensuite's our week.
INTERVIEWER: What could go wrong?
Ah, nothing. Nothing.
Absolutely nothing could go wrong.
We found out probably about an hour later
we don't have a tiler, we don't have a waterproofer.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
The reason why bathroom weeks are...
and ensuite weeks is crazy and there's so much to do
is you've got other trades you have to organise,
waterproofers, tilers, or whether that's the same bloke...
So, sent H off to go get his bits
and then started trying to get a hold of my waterproofer/tiler.
I probably called him three or four times
over about...probably about half an hour, 45 minutes...
(TENSE MUSIC)
..and he didn't answer.
Oh... (RINGING TONE)
So now I look like I'm a stalker.
Look, to be fair,
he didn't have the greatest experience first time round.
I thought, potentially, he's gone home, had a couple of whiskeys
and went, "You know what, stuff those blokes.
"Why would I drive back down to the island to work for those idiots?"
So, yeah, we have to start making calls to try and find someone,
with no notice.
So...
I've got H going to get stuff from Reece.
I don't even think we're gonna need it.
That's 370. Yep.
That one's 380. Yeah, OK.
Look, you barely even notice it, to tell you the truth. Yeah.
Made a bit of a scramble, just calling anyone that I could.
There was a couple of people that were too busy,
couple of people already committed...
MAN: (ON PHONE) Oh, mate, I'm off to Bali on Friday.
MAN: (ON PHONE) Yeah, no, I'm not interested, thanks, mate.
If you can't help me on the waterproof or the tiling front,
have you got any good fishing spots?
Felt like the day was draining away
and it felt like ensuite week was getting away from us.
Nothing is more attractive than desperation.
It's sort of like being in a night club,
just working my getting around rejected by everyone.
(MAN LAUGHS ON PHONE)
(BOTH LAUGH)
It's looking grim.
And then Rahimi, my waterproofer, calls me.
(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)
Hey, mate. How are you?
Yeah, good, man. What's going on?
From Dubai? RAHIMI: (ON PHONE) Yeah.
And... (LAUGHS) And he said that he was in Dubai.

Just like the Blockheads, why not head to Domain's In the Know hub
for exclusive details on this week's rooms?
Every week, there'll be expert advice, floor plans and much more,
helping contestants navigate another huge week of renovations.
# Oh, I got a real good feeling # Got a real good feeling
# Got a real good feeling
# Like there is lightning deep in my bones... #
SCOTT: With another wet room on the cards in the form of a master ensuite
engaged couple Jesse and Paige from house one
are ready to kick into gear.
# I got a real good feeling... #
It's lovely to meet you. Nice to meet you.
Lovely to meet you too. How are you?
We're not gonna let things go wrong.
# Don't be precious Don't be kind... #
Unfortunately, things went very wrong with their main bathroom in week one.
Argh! (BLEEP)!
# By the way
# You've been uninvited... #
We put absolutely everything into finishing that bathroom
and we fell short.
Which was a massive kick in the guts for proud carpenter Jesse.
I just feel like I'm failing.
Honey...
(CRIES) You're not failing.
OK? Yeah.
# Why so sad, bunny? Can't have mine... #
But they're hoping the master ensuite,
that's located right next door to their incomplete main bathroom,
is going to be different.
Yeah, so I think...
I think that probably goes best
with our style of the house we're going for.
When you enter our master ensuite,
there is a big luxurious double-head shower on the right-hand side.
We have a double vanity that's directly in your eye view
whilst you walk in
and then we have our toilet hidden behind the door
to the left-hand side.
But where they fell short last time
was deciding to do floor-to-ceiling tiles.
So, the question is, have they learnt their lesson?
I'm feeling a little bit of pressure because...
Yeah.
..we're week three and we already have one incomplete bathroom...
(LAUGHS) ..and we're doing another bathroom.
But I believe that we have a bit more of an understanding
of what we're doing now.
# Innocence Gave away the last of it... #
Meanwhile, Kylie and Brad from house four
are also having flashbacks of their week one main bathroom disaster.
MARTY: The only thing that 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.
(LAUGHS)
This is as far removed from the beach as you could get.
(KYLIE CRIES)
What's that look for?
So, having another bathroom this week
is a good chance to fix the mistakes that we did in the first week.
Going for gold?
Like, realistically, our first bathroom didn't score that badly.
We just put Marty offside with the colour. Yeah.
Are we continuing on the black-and-white theme or...?
Black and white. Black and white?
They hate it but I'm sticking with it. OK. Sure. Yeah.
INTERVIEWER: Sticking with your guns? What are you doing?
Yeah, look, for this bathroom, but I'm softening.
Can't please everyone and so far I'm not pleasing me,
so I'm just dealing.
Are you gonna be happy with this or not?
It'll be fine. I'll make it work.
What have you decided on? Talk us through it.
Black and white, with some timber. Yeah.
(LAUGHS)
So we're going a timber vanity with a white top.
Yeah, we're doing black and white basins,
the same as what we did in the last bathroom.
Finally, hopefully still using my black-and-white bath.
So far so good. It should all go together.
So now we've just gotta find... Go to Beaumonts and find some tiles.
I already know what tile I want.
So, I already went in, having a plan of a white marble
with sort of, like, more of a...
I guess, like, a bronze sort of vein through it.
WOMAN: What were you thinking? The Melbourne Marble tile.
Melbourne Marble? OK.
KYLIE: Walked straight in there,
pointed exactly to the one that I knew I wanted
and then Michelle's, like, "Yeah, yeah, no problem.
"No, sorry, they're on a ship."
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
So they're definitely not gonna be coming at all...
No. No, they're still goods in transit.
So, still, like, on a boat, on the way in...
Yeah. Yeah.
..those ones, so, we won't be able to get that.
No chance.
Is that not the story of my life?
BRAD: I reckon you can get any tile but that one.
But I'll look for an alternative for you.
So then there's "What do you want?" Yeah.
And then what's the next closest?
This one is 6 x 6. It's just got a stronger vein.
Yeah.
So we've ended up with something very similar.
It's just got a cool vein.
So now we're concerned
that the coolness of the vein not matching the...
The warmth of the walnut.
..the warmth of the walnut... In the vanity.
..in the vanity that we just picked.
I'm gonna be pretty disappointed
if that's the part that we get crucified for. Panned on.
SCOTT: Kylie and Brad might be nervous
about their second-choice tile...
but poor Ricky and Haydn in house three
might not even have a tiler to tile.
Hey, mate. How are you?
Yeah, good, man. What's going on?
From Dubai?
And... (LAUGHS) And he said that he was in Dubai.
I don't know if I believe him.
I wouldn't blame him.
Oh, nice, dude. Congratulations. Nice holiday.
Yeah, and I don't know.
But he said he was gonna be back for waterproofing Wednesday,
that he'd have guys there.
So, I was, like, "Alright, mate.
"Send me a postcard and just make sure the guys are here Wednesday."
And he's, like, "Just relax, man. It's all good."
Thanks, Rahimi. See you, man.
RAHIMI: (ON PHONE) Yeah. Bye.
So it was game... It was game back on.
(LAUGHS) But it was... Yeah, it was two, three hours...
It must've been three hours of just complete panic.
Finally starting to make some progress seven or eight hours in.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
SCOTT: This year, these five holiday homes
are being built with Truecore steel.
However, working in such a remote location does present some issues,
so Truecore have brought the factory to Phillip Island.
Now, Peter, I am intrigued... Yes.
..about this container. Right.
I can't believe it. Well...
Talk me through it.
We're a fair bit away from any factory.
We had to think outside the box, so we put our factory inside a box.
(LAUGHS) Yes. OK. And we call this factory in a camp.
So this roll goes into there? That's right, yep.
So, the roll former will form the profile
and do all the punching and notching and swaging
and all that kind of stuff, just like we do in a normal factory.
It rolls out onto the run-out table and our team assemble it together...
with exactly the same precision as what we would get in a factory.
It's a two-step process to get your frames knocked up and delivered
by what we've dubbed Truecore Tuesday.
Step one, measure up Monday.
500 wide by 900...
You've got more than 820...
So, the shower's 1,000. Right?
And then you've got to have that 100mm shelf off.
It's first in, best dressed on Monday,
so whichever team gets their plan in first in to Peter from Truecore...
they will get their frames first on the Tuesday.
Done. Thanks, mate. Well done, mate.
Easy. Thanks, boys. Thank you.
So, here's the thing.
You can bring a Truecore factory all the way to Phillip Island
but you can't make contestants talk to their builders.
(TENSE MUSIC)
You have to get your Truecore measurements in by 2:00 Monday
for Truecore Tuesday
and, yeah, didn't happen for us.
DAN: Hey, Zaky.
Did you just upload your Truecore walls?
You haven't yet?
Do you want to come out? No.
No? (LAUGHS)
Well, cut-off time was nearly two hours ago.
I never got told.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I've only just got where the shaving cabinets and stuff, like...
dimensions for shaving cabinets and that off Jesse.
You need to get it moving on,
otherwise we're not gonna reach Truecore Tuesday...
Yep.
..which will throw out waterproof Wednesday, everything.
Five minutes? Yeah.
(RINGING TONE)
I need to know, like, now, because I just got harassed by Dan and Pete.
Apparently I was supposed to have this in two hours ago.
JESSE: Yeah, so, Zak, our builder, called.
Truecore are really after our measurements pretty quickly
and we really just hadn't been ready for it.
PAIGE: 2:00. We just get here. We're trying to make a decision...
And then Truecore Steel are trying to get our information.
It's, like, we don't have the information
because we haven't even started our consult yet.
What's the point in this timeline? ZAK: It is what it is.
Right now, we can't change it.
So let's forget about that and let's just move forward.
Mate, five... We're giving you ten minutes.
It's a bit impossible when we've just got our consultation
deciding about tiles.
Like... Tiles shouldn't matter.
It does (BLEEP) matter, mate. What are you on about?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
House one, we went in there to try and give them a bit of, you know...
get our plans in
and Jesse started swearing at us.
(BLEEP).
Oh, look, there may have been the heat of the moment on the phone
where did swear at Foreman Dan.
I pretty much told him to (BLEEP).
(GASPS)
Jesse! Yeah.
We don't appreciate being sworn to either, mate, to be honest.
We're here to help. And if you carry on like that, you're gonna miss...
I think the cut-off's now.
Let's go, mate. Don't need to be spoken to like that.
No Truecore Tuesday there.
So he just said, "That's it, you're not getting Truecore.
"Unlucky. See you later." Walked off.
I'll let you know what happens here, but that's it for them...
Sweet. ..till tomorrow.
ZAK: (ON PHONE) So we're not getting walls tomorrow, then.
Are you (BLEEP) with me?
(LIGHTNING CRACKS, ELECTRICS FIZZ) (PENGUINS BRAY)
(TENSE MUSIC)
DAN: Let's go, mate. Don't need to be spoken to like that.
No Truecore Tuesday there.
So he just said, "That's it. You're not getting Truecore.
"Unlucky. See you later." Walked off.
ZAK: So we're not getting walls tomorrow, then.
Hmm.
Are you (BLEEP) with me?
SCOTT: So, no Truecore frames tomorrow
for house one's master ensuite.
But at least Jesse and Paige have decided to do floor-to-ceiling tiles.
We had made a decision to not do floor-to-ceiling.
Mm-hm.
(BUZZ!)
SCOTT: Or have they?
INTERVIEWER: You had a moment?
Yes, we had a little moment.
ZACH: What do youse want to do?
Do youse want to do floor-to-ceiling?
No. Yeah... And we are 100% on this?
Yep, 100%.
OK. Yep.
'Cause floor-to-ceiling would look the trick.
Let's just do that.
Well, then, fine. Yep.
Fine. Floor to ceiling.
Do it. I don't like it, but do it. Right.
I think it just got a little bit too much that day
and I think we were just, like... communication-wise, different ends.
No, I was trying to communicate with Jesse
and you just were communicating poorly back.
That's what I'm saying. We're at different ends.
You didn't say that, though.
You can openly say that to the camera...
We weren't at different ends.
I was at the right end, you were at the wrong end.
Yeah, so different ends. That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, but, like, I think it needs to be specified.
(LAUGHS) Take it away.
Yeah. What she said. Take it away.
What she said.
Take it away.
What are you feeling? I need to know what you're feeling.
I've been telling you what I'm feeling!
Are you not listening to me? Because I've been telling you.
How about you don't (BLEEP) speak... I'm not yelling.
Take it away, because I'm not letting them cut any of this
without you saying there's a right and wrong end.
There's a right end and there's a wrong end.
And what end were you at? I was at the wrong end.
And Paige was at the...
right end.
Yes. So I called him a narcissist.
Cut. Cut that bit.
Yeah, she did call me a narcissist.
You're, like, overwhelmed right now.
I'm not overwhelmed! Don't you (BLEEP) dare!
Why do you have to carry on like this?
You are being such a (BLEEP) narcissist right now.
Don't do that. OK.
I was not overwhelmed. OK. I won't do that. Sorry.
Let's make a decision because we're (BLEEP) if we don't.
Which wasn't nice. I'm not nice for no reason.
Yeah, I didn't speak very nicely to Paige in Beaumont,
so that was well-deserved.
INTERVIEWER: Why are you guys fighting?
I think I just spoke to Paige wrong.
I think I just was a bit too blunt
and harsh with her on some things and didn't...
You weren't blunt and harsh. OK. How was I? You tell me.
I don't care if people are blunt and harsh with me.
How was I? Did you actually really...
I just don't even want to talk about it
because, unlike you, I don't feel like embarrassing you all the time.
How about that?
Do I embarrass you?
Do you think that's not embarrassing?
What?
Are you that daft right now that you're asking me what you did?
I just need a (BLEEP) minute from you, seriously.
Alright. No worries.
I'm sick of the way that you've been speaking to me.
I'll meet you around the back, then.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
When I've got someone saying,
"I think not doing floor to ceiling tiles is (BLEEP)"
it's, like, it makes me (BLEEP) question how pissed off...
Yeah, so you go with someone else but not me.
You never listen to me.
I've tried to talk about these problems and you won't talk to me
and that's why we ended up in this position once again today,
because you never want to talk to me and you never want to listen to me!
And that's exactly why we've ended up here again!
How has this led to us being in this situation?
Because now we have floor-to-ceiling tiles that we shouldn't have!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
SCOTT: OK. Now for a complete change of pace.
Last week's winners, Kristian and Mimi, are in for a big surprise.
(HORN HONKS)
KRISTIAN: Who is it now? MIMI: Who is it?
We're here to pick you up. JIMMY: Here we are.
No way. Is that Jimmy and Tam? No way!
Oh, my god! Hi! Hi!
We hear "Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep".
I run out on the balcony and I'm, like, "Jimmy and Tam!"
And their daughter Frankie.
SCOTT: A couple of seasons back,
Block veterans Jimmy and Tam made a name for themselves
for finishing early...
JIMMY: Tools down. Mmm.
SCOTT: ..and consistently winning rooms with Tam's eclectic style.
Jimmy and Tam. It's Jimmy and Tam!
(BOTH CHEER)
And this Queensland couple went on to win a record-breaking $1 million.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
JIMMY: You're coming with us. Grab your gear.
We're going on a Ford getaway.
We jumped in the Ford Mach-E
and we ended up on the south side of Phillip Island at Smiths Beach.
There was a beautiful Airbnb...
and Scotty had dinner all planned for us.
SCOTT: Mate, Tyson, this is fantastic.
You realise I'm gonna take the credit for all this?
Yeah, that's... You're not even here, mate.
Dinner and a show.
(WHISTLES) Come on. (BARKS)
OTHERS: Aw!
(WOMAN LAUGHS)
Probably what we need to give these guys is a bit of insight
about how you did play the game.
JIMMY: Where Tam and I really excelled
is I ran the site, Tam did her role...
Yep.
..and we never really blurred those lines.
Like, I never made any decisions on tiling, any of the styling stuff...
Yeah. No.
..and Tam never really came in on the floor plan or anything like that...
Mm-hm.
It was priceless hanging out with them.
They had a lot of insight.
SCOTT: Now, Kristian and Mimi... Yes.
Yeah. ..Frankie, not my Frankie...
Yeah. ..Jimmy and Tam's Frankie...
Yes. ..has got a gift for you.
(GASPS) What?
Oh! Here it is.
Thank you! Aw!
(SQUEALS)
Ten g's, baby! (LAUGHTER)
Beautiful people
and, yeah, we stayed up till probably midnight just chatting.
JIMMY: So we got these guys a special gift.
What is it, Frankie?
FRANKIE AND TAM: Jim Tams.
Packet of Jim Tams from Arnott's.
They're winning Jim Tams, OK, guys?
Only winners get the Jim Tams. FRANKIE: OK.
Bye-bye. Hey!
(PENGUINS BRAY)
# More than just a dream... #
SCOTT: The Blockheads delivered the first bedroom
in their Phillip Island holiday homes on Sunday night,
which means they finally get to escape the camping life
and sleep in a real bad.
INTERVIEWER: How does it feel to sleep in a bed, guys?
# More than just a dream... #
Unreal. I feel so blessed.
# More than just a dream... #
(SNORING)
# More than just a dream... #
MAN: Morning, all. Thanks for coming.
SCOTT: A necessary part of Block life is the morning pre-start meeting
and at least one person from every house is required to attend.
Even Kristian and Mimi made it back in time from their Ford getaway.
(HORN HONKS)
Contestants, stop wearing your Jerusalem slippers here.
Real shoes all times whilst on this site.
But this morning, one house hasn't turned up.
(SNORING)
DAN: Morning, gang. How are we?
Did anyone forget anything this morning?
Forget what?
Anyone miss anything? No.
No?
We missed you.
You two weren't at pre-start.
You were at pre-start. Even you made it back for pre-start.
This bloke never missed a pre-start.
I was at pre-start. Yeah, I was there.
I was just hiding in the corner. I was there at pre-start.
I don't think you were there. No, I was there.
And your builders weren't there. Builders, I can't comment.
Where are the builders, by the way? You 100% weren't there.
I was looking.
In my defence, we had our first night sleeping in the bed.
You slept in, I slept in for a little bit.
You guys and no builders... MIMI: Oh.
We're gonna have to go down there and shut your side down.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Seriously?
Yep.
No builders on? Well, no-one was at pre-start.
Look, one rule on The Block
is you need someone from your house to make pre-start.
House two didn't even have themselves weren't there or their builders.
Not acceptable, so we're gonna go and shut them down.
Surely we can start. Just start.
What I didn't like is Grant lied to my face
and tried to pretend that he was there.
I know they weren't there. I was looking around.
Pretty disrespectful, to be honest.
It is what it is. Hang on...
Yeah. It is what it is.
We do these for a reason. Righto.
It's a process we have to do every day.
I get it, I get it.
Grant obviously handled the situation really calmly
and, you know, as an adult, like you normally do.
Yeah.
So, when you forge somebody's signature,
it's the same punishment as missing pre-start?
Well, that...
SCOTT: If you don't remember,
last week, Kristian from house five crossed the line with Foreman Dan.
DAN: We've realised both our signatures have been forged
by Kristian.
Not ideal. That's just a no.
I know it was wrong. Not cool, man.
Yeah. So you don't do that.
Not cool at all. I know you don't.
So there's gonna be a penalty. Yep.
Tomorrow morning, I will have to have a one-hour coffee break.
Different scenario...
GRANT: Oh, no, forging signatures is pretty serious.
It is. It is.
Some would say it's a bit more serious.
I would say lying to my face is serious too.
'Cause you lied to my face before.
You said you were at pre-start and you weren't.
I was. I was just there late. So that's the same thing.
Oh, shut up, Grant!
No excuse, but punishment should be relative...
Look, it won't happen again. ..to the offence.
So, if you steal a loaf of bread and kill somebody,
the punishments are very different, right, in the real world?
Which one did we do? Kill? Well, we didn't really do too much.
We missed pre-start.
My friend Kristian over there forges signatures
and we get the same punishment.
So, life on the block is all relative. It's all there.
DAN: Hour starts when you're out.
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
Wasting time.
GRANT: I love Dan. Dan's such a fair man.
Dan hates you.
# The sun keeps on shining
# Yeah, the sun keeps on shining... #
SCOTT: The Block's plumber Tom is back again this season.
With five master ensuites to deliver by Sunday,
he has his work cut out for him.
TOM: Beautiful. Too easy. Thank you. WOMAN: Have a wonderful day.
You too. See you.
So, after a feed, Tom's off to Reece.
G'day, Tom. How are you, mate?
Really well. How are you? Good, thanks.
What can I do for you?
Contestants this year, I'm giving them the full VIP treatment.
I'm here to pick up all their in-wall rough-in gear
and a little bit of fit-off stuff, so...
Sounds good, mate. It's all ready to go.
Beauty. OK. Let's go grab it.
Oooh, Mizu. They've got the good stuff this year, mate.
It's getting easier and easier. Yep. That's the plan.
This is all the gear. Beauty.
Need a hand with it? No, mate. I'll be right.
Beautiful. Good stuff. I'll leave you to it.
Thanks, mate.
(STRAINS)
Jeez, they've got it easy, don't they?
SCOTT: Back on site,
I'm almost done whipping up the first frames for Truecore Tuesday.
(ROCK MUSIC)
(TOOL WHINES)
This is a really complex frame.
Yeah.
And two guys have put this together in about under ten minutes.
What a beauty.
Truecore factory right here on the tennis court.
We build our own frames!
Boys.
That was a long carry from the tennis court.
I'm absolutely buggered. (LAUGHS)
Hand-built in the Truecore factory on the tennis court by us two.
This is ensuite wall... Yep.
..with your niche. Wow. Impressive.
(LAUGHS)
Hopefully I'm not paying for the delivery cost.
Oh, mate. You are. Oh!
Now, do you know why you're getting this frame first?
Because you were the first bloke to put your plans in.
Not much is more important than Truecore Tuesday, Scotty.
Correct, mate. Get your plans in, you get your frame.
And getting your plans in
is exactly what Jesse and Paige failed to do yesterday.
The plan was for my builder to go see Truecore Steel first thing
but we found out that we were actually at the back of the line.
I'm not surprised after how you spoke to Dan on Monday.
Yeah. I'm not surprised.
Hey, mate. Sorry for the words I said yesterday arvo.
But I didn't realise it was just... Yeah, I was...
DAN: Yeah. Sorry for disrespecting, man, too.
Cheers, mate. Yeah. It won't happen again.
And obviously Truecore Tuesday is an important thing, so...
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Thanks, mate. Appreciate it.
Zaky got them in anyhow. Yeah, yeah.
And we'll try our best to try and get them out today.
Yeah. Yep.
But it's all scrambled with what's going on...
Yeah, yeah. No, cool.
Thanks, mate. Appreciate that. Thanks, Dan. No worries.
So, he respected me apologising to him
and, yeah, it was water under the bridge.
But back of the line for Truecore Steel,
so that hurt a little bit
but all we could do was push on with the subfloor, get that done...
and hopefully get walls given to us by the end of the day.
(PENGUINS BRAY)
DAN: Jeez, that extra hour would've been handy.
That extra hour this morning.
You live and you learn. You live and you learn, Dan.
Live and learn.
Once is a mistake, twice you're an idiot.
OK. That's fair... Fair call.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
SCOTT: Even Jesse and Paige in house one
have recovered from their Truecore Tuesday trip-up.
DAN: Nice.
This is looking good, guys.
# Hello, hello
# Oh, hello, hello... #
You're in a good spot.
Truecore are up.
Fitting off. BRAD: Yeah, we're getting there.
# Hello, hello
# Oh, hello, hello... #
Oh, limbo!
Subfloor is looking good.
We've got the shower all done.
I'm not sure if the boys need to get Dan to approve
before they can finish the floor
'cause I've just been dealing with everything today.
Kristian has to go through a lot of phases throughout the week.
Today is Tuesday frustration.
Looking for people.
I don't know what's happening.
DAN: I actually think
you're in a pretty good position right now, to be honest.
Well, you've got your skylight done,
so that can really take up a lot of time. Yeah.
So that's out the way, which is really good. Yep.
Looks like your subfloor's not far off.
We're getting there. Oh, you're in a good spot, mate.
Much better than week one.
SCOTT: The Victorian mates
might be in a good spot with their master ensuite
but they're about to find something that isn't in a good spot.
INTERVIEWER: End of that day, you notice
that there's a massive hole that's been dug out the front of your house.
DAN: You know what that is, don't you?
Yeah, I know what that is, Dan.
(LAUGHS) That's a hole.
That's a hole for the pool.
We took a walk around the pool
and then we noticed another blue line on the ground,
which was Brad and Kylie's pool line.
And it was within, you know, reaching distance of ours.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Yep, this is house four's pool.
Are you sure? Ours is... Ours is right there.
Like, you'll be hearing conversations, 100%.
Yeah, it definitely seemed like...
Like, if you were playing volleyball in that pool,
you'd be serving out of your pool over the next one,
so that's how close it was.
If it was Australia Day, it'd be biggest stereo wins, you know.
And we know we'd win that battle but it wouldn't be good for them.
That's close.
That's real close.
Our major concern was that was going to affect...
affect a potential buyer when they walk in...
Is potentially moving the location of a pool thing?
DAN: Can be, yeah.
Yeah, right.
Anything's possible.
We thought, "This is a direct disadvantage."
Just tell them they don't need a pool.
Yeah. Maybe.
They've got a big backyard. That'd be hard to convince.
Yeah, I think so. That's gonna take some convincing.
(TENSE MUSIC)
I suppose there's only one way we can...
Yeah.
We'll have to see if we can call a meeting.
Yep. Brad!
(LAUGHS) Brad... Kylie!
BRAD: Yeah?
Do you reckon you could pop in and come for a meeting?
(BLEEP) hell. You don't need to scream.
(LAUGHS) I got your attention, though.
We definitely need a wall. Hey, do you like...
Do you like our pool?
It's not finished yet. KYLIE: Yeah.
That's your pool? That's our pool.
Let's fill it up. I thought that was your driveway.
That's... That's not a grave.
That's where we're gonna be swimming.
We knew our pool was on that side
and now all of a sudden their pool's on that side.
And dug nearly in an identical spot to where ours is meant to go.
So, is there any way...
Like, obviously you guys don't want our pool close to yours.
No.
Do you have any room at the back for yours?
I guess... I guess we could ask the question.
Maybe we can research some kind of soundproofing product,
you know what I mean?
Yeah. It doesn't matter how big the fence is, at the end of the day.
No.
The fence can be 20 foot high
and you've still got two pools within 10m of each other,
so, yeah, I'd be considering whether
there's any chance of moving the whole thing,
to be honest with you.
From a selling, from a buying point of view...
Mmm. ..both of us are cooked.
We're stuffed.
You know, when it comes to selling the house at the end,
that's definitely gonna be in the buyers' minds, you know.
Do you want to pool that's gonna be
merely metres away from your neighbours' pool?
SCOTT: Tomorrow night...
it's... Waterproof Wednesday, baby.
But will any of our teams make their 6:00pm tools-down deadline?
BRAD: The plumber just said he's got three hours.
KYLIE: Three hours of what? For the plumbing.
PAIGE: What has put us off track today?
Oh, (BLEEP) hell!
DAN: I'm getting worried. That's all.
Oh, I'm seriously concerned.
Hey, if you don't start moving,
I've gotta send the waterproofer home, dude.
Start moving? I've been moving all day, mate.
Not sure we've got the right guy for the job at the moment.
