(TENSE MUSIC)
# It starts with one...
# All I know... #
PAIGE: (TEARFULLY) Like, it's gonna be a really hard conversation.
# I tried so hard and got so far
# But in the end... #
(CRIES) # It doesn't even matter... #
How are you, guys? JESSE: Good, mate. Good.
Good on you. Thank you very much.
Paige.
Thank you.
It's a very brave decision that you've made
and nothing is more important, not The Block, not building it...
Nothing's more important than your mental health.
And it is a big decision and a brave one that you've both made...
(CRIES) I'm so upset.
Yeah, I'm really sorry.
(JESSE AND PAIGE CRY)
SCOTT: How did it get to this?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
PAIGE: You need to find some sort of compromise for me!
I've been nothing but accommodating for you!
I get that... Find it for me!
I've been nothing but accommodating for you!
Jesse and Paige have had a rough probably first month on The Block.
You know, you never know what's going on
behind closed doors, I suppose.
Like, it's none of your business, really.
I don't know what it is about the (BLEEP) east side of this country.
Everyone's just so (BLEEP) emotional, man.
She's not like that all the time, you know.
Tiredness, fatigue, like, it turns you into someone different.
Like, I don't want to sit in a circle and kumbaya
and talk about my feelings when I don't have any.
I sort of had one of those feelings where he knew something was up.
I kind of wish they would've just come to us
and maybe we could've, I don't know, supported them...
I don't know, just been there for them in that shitty time.
JESSE: You're, like, overwhelmed right now.
PAIGE: I'm not overwhelmed! Don't you dare!
Why do you have to carry on like this?
You are being such a (BLEEP) narcissist right now.
I go zero to 100 really, really quick
but I also go from 100 to zero very quick,
because I don't want to just be consistently angry.
I just don't even want to talk about it
because, unlike you, I don't feel like embarrassing you all the time.
I just need a (BLEEP) minute from you, seriously.
Alright. No worries.
KYLIE: It's hard to say whether or not, I guess,
whether they're coming together as a team or if they're drifting apart.
Like, we hear things but we don't talk about that.
Just work on basic (BLEEP) communication, Jesse!
Work on some basic respect!
I feel like you need to bring your (BLEEP) brain back down to earth.
I did go check up on them before Sunday
and, yeah, I don't know, there was just something about, like, Paige.
I could see it in her eyes. I was, like, "Are you alright?"
And she's just, like, "Yeah, I'm fine."
But I don't know...
INTERVIEWER: And it's a way of, like, self-talk
that you go, "It's OK, it's OK," you know.
But it's also damaging, being like that
'cause then you're just pretending everything's OK
when it's probably really not OK and pretty bad
and ugly inside.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(RAIN FALLS, WIND HOWLS)
JESSE: I was annoyed because I just...
I just want you to listen to me about what I'm saying at times.
PAIGE: Mate, you weren't saying anything. That's the problem.
You're frustrated
because you have someone that doesn't want to be here.
Because I just... Then get rid of them.
Because I just want you to... To want to be here.
You want me to want to be here. That's what you want.
I told you what I'm gonna do to try and help you...
You want me to be here and I don't. Then walk out, man!
(THUNDER CRACKS)
Why the (BLEEP) do you yell at me all the time?
Because I'm just so sick... No-one's yelling here.
I'm just... You're the only person yelling.
You don't understand how much pressure has been put on me.
I felt it in the whole first (BLEEP) week, Jesse.
I understand the pressure.
I didn't crack under it. You do.
I'm...
I'm not listening to a thing you said
after you speak to me like that again.
You speak to me like (BLEEP) as well!
I never bellow at you like that.
I heard Jesse and Paige fighting a bit...
Yep. ..which I said to her...
We hear it because they're obviously next door.
And it's healthy to argue to an extent.
But, yeah, sometimes... To an extent.
..it's getting extreme on The Block.
(RAIN FALLS)
JESSE: I don't want you to leave and I don't, like...
PAIGE: That's great. I know you don't want me to leave.
But I want me to leave, so we're at a stalemate.
Walk out, then. Like, what are you doing here?
You haven't had a conversation with me.
You think I'm gonna walk out and get on a plane without talking to you?
I'm literally nearly mentally checked out.
That's just giving up. It's not giving up!
How many times do you want to have this conversation?
MIMI: It takes a lot.
It's been maybe rocky or maybe not...
I don't think they're having the experience
that the rest of us are having,
which is, like, really sad.
(RAIN FALLS) (THUNDER CRACKS)
PAIGE: I don't want to be here. JESSE: OK.
Do I need to spell it out again? OK. So, what's next, then?
I'm doing what is best for me, not for you.
What about what's best for us?
There is no us.
I'm not prepared to be selfless enough for us
to compromise my mental health this much.
But you don't know that... Yes, I do, because I know myself.
But I also... Because I know myself.
You actually (BLEEP) don't!
I just think it's bullshit
how I'm always (BLEEP) public enemy number one...
You're not.
Sorry that at this exact moment
I'm at my end of the (BLEEP) tether with you.
How do you think I feel as well, though?
I don't give a (BLEEP) how you feel! Deal with it yourself!
I have no resilience left in me!
I've got nothing!
With Jesse and Paige, I think being in the environment
that we're in on The Block,
probably not the right environment to try and, you know,
deal with any situation and get yourself in a right state.
You've gotta put your hand up and say "I need help"
and then to let others know around you that you're going through that
and that... It's OK not to be OK.
Yeah. Exactly right. Yep.
With Paige and Jesse, they've tried so hard
but I think it's braver to realise that there's a problem
and to be able to actually step away
to, you know, get the help that they need.
(WATER DRIPS)
(DOOR OPENS)
JESSE: Hey, Paige. 'Juzzy's here to speak to us.
MAN: Hi, guys. PAIGE: Hi.
You're sounding like you guys were having a lot of trouble today.
Yeah. I wanted to check in.
Obviously it's not the first sort of one-off night like this,
where you're having a bit of a tough time...
Yeah. Mmm.
I could hear a relationship that was sounding pretty bad.
(CRYING) Your neighbours can hear you...
I know. ..as well, you know.
(CRYING)
Paige, have you reached out to any of the counselling stuff that we've got,
because that's why we have that stuff in place, so that you get...
(CRYING)
You don't have to voice all of your feelings...
Yeah. ..to just Jesse.
Mm-hm.
We really need to get some other people in to talk to you...
Yep.
..where you guys need to make a big decision.
(SOLEMN MUSIC PLAYS)
(WIND WHISTLES)
PAIGE: Is there anywhere you want us first?
MAN: You go wherever you want. We'll follow you, OK?
Everyone's ready everywhere... OK.
..so you're all good.
(SOLEMN MUSIC CONTINUES)
Does the crew know? Yeah, they know.
(CRIES)
KRISTIAN: Monday was a weird day on the block.
We were about to go on our Winners and Grinners dinner, our night away
and...
And then Jesse and Paige came in.
KRISTIAN: Hello, hello, hello.
What's wrong?
PAIGE: We just, like, wanted to come chat with you guys.
(CRIES) About...?
Because we're not gonna keep going.
What? What do you mean?
Yeah.
When the decision was made, like, I even just felt relief.
Why? I think, like... (CRIES)
I just haven't been myself, like, at all.
I've, like, really mentally struggled.
JESSE: Yeah, she's... I mean, she's been, like a...
probably a cry for help for the last maybe week.
Yeah, I really have been.
But I've chosen to ignore it because of how much I want to stay here.
But I think it's come to the realisation
that I need to put her first.
Put her first. (CRIES)
Aw, don't... Guys...
MIMI: Paige described it
as she feels like she hasn't been herself, which is really concerning.
You don't ever want to feel like you're not being yourself.
I've just, like... It was just, like, a black hole in my head.
(CRIES) Like, really bad.
(CRIES)
She just wants to feel normalcy again
and in order for her to do that, she has to leave
and not be in this...
Environment. ..environment.
COURTNEY: Oh, you're making me cry. Come here.
Yeah. It's so, so hard.
We don't want to leave here but I think Paige has realised that...
It's the right decision. I was so angry, I was so agitated.
Oh... Like, I was just...
I wasn't like myself at all. Yeah.
Because I'm not those things.
Basically said that they weren't coping...
Yeah.
..with the pressure of the situation and The Block
and I think it was more from Paige's point of view
and Jesse wanted to stay
but obviously he's gonna do the best thing for his fiancee.
We had a really... We had a bit of an argument on Friday night...
Yeah. ..and it's...
Like, we realised what we've been doing wrong,
where we need to change.
But I think it's just gone too far,
where it's, like, forgot who we are as individuals and...
It's more me. I've been very, like, mentally struggling.
(CRIES) I haven't really been myself.
RICKY: Is there anything we can do?
BRAD: That's it? Yeah.
A lot of consideration's... You've made your decision.
..been given to this decision. (CRIES)
Yeah, look, we've tried everything.
Me staying on, Paige going home for a little bit...
But, yeah, end of the day, as much as I want to...
like, I want to stay here and I want to be a part of this,
Paige comes first.
The fact that they were, you know, they had enough guts
to come out and say it on, you know, national TV
that they're dealing with some things
and that they need to take care of them,
they don't want to go but they need to,
yeah, it took a lot of guts.
PAIGE:
(CRIES)
KYLIE:
(PAIGE CRIES)
You know, when you're in situations like this
and we are all going through the same experience together,
I feel like I should've been there more for Paige
and maybe saw the signs that, you know, she wasn't quite OK,
which makes me feel worse, because what kind of friend was I
if I couldn't see how she was actually feeling?
# You might seem so strong... #
PAIGE: I was so angry all the time. I was so, like...
(CRIES) I just wasn't acting like myself.
(CRIES) That's the hard thing.
You don't want to feel like you've failed.
Like, you're the one that got yourself into this.
KYLIE: Yeah. Exactly.
But, like, it's... It's, like, next-level, hey?
It's not the end.
Like, outside of this is so much more important.
SCOTT: Hey, hey, hey. How are youse? JESSE: Good, mate. Good.
Good on you. Thank you very much.
Paige... Thank you.
It's alright.
Look, it's a very brave decision that you've made
and nothing is more important, not The Block, not building it...
Nothing's more important than your mental health.
And it is a big decision and a brave one that you've both made.
I think we probably all had to make that decision together...
Yep. Yes.
And, you know, I feel as though, you know,
for people suffering with mental health issues,
this is an inspiration for them to maybe make a decision as well.
Absolutely. I hope so. I hope so.
You know, we feel as though you need to get to a place out of here
that's...you know, where you can best take care of yourself.
100%.
OK. 100%.
Yeah. Righto.
No, thank you so much, Scotty,
for the opportunity and everything you've done.
It's been such an experience. Yes.
And you should be proud of what you've done so far, you know.
We're all proud of you. Look at the...
I know.
..your friendship that you've got here.
Yeah, everyone's unreal. Yeah. Good on you.
KYLIE: It hurts. It's really tough to say goodbye.
You know, you feel like you've known these people for a lifetime already.
COURTNEY: Oh, darling. (PAIGE SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
KRISTIAN: Take care. See you, Mim.
We love you, girl.
Have the best time, alright?
Oh... (CRIES)
RICKY: So sad to see you go, mate.
Yeah. HAYDN: We'll miss you heaps.
Thanks, babe.
No more road trips. But we'll have some later.
(LAUGHS)
We'll have some girl road trips after the show...
Yeah, with our girls... Done.
It was definitely sad to see them say goodbye
but, yeah, we have, yeah, a lot of respect for them
to be able to do that.
All the best, guys.
Love you. Love you all. See you later.
Bye.
See you later. Thanks, Scotty.
See you, Frankie.
GRANT: They'll have other opportunities in life and things...
COURTNEY: Yeah.
..that are more exciting in their eyes
and, yeah, things that might not cause them
as much, you know, stress and pressure and things like that.
And I hope they come across that excitement.
But, yeah, it's... It was really sad.
Yeah.
JESSE: Love you all.
PAIGE: Bye. See you.
# We'll do it all
# Everything... #
As everyone said, from day one, you're part of the Block family
and you'll be part of the Block family for life,
so the same goes for them.
That is for the best.
Yeah.
We've got a block to build.
# If I just lay here... #
We've got to move forward. Onward and upward.
# Would you lie with me
# And just forget the world? #
(GUITAR POP PLAYS)
JESSE: See you.
# You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be... #
Love you all.
# I don't want to go home right now... #
SCOTT: It's a sombre morning on the block,
as house one's Jesse and Paige have permanently left the competition
and all the other couples are in shock.
# I just want you to know who I am... #
I know it's a lot to take in and it's very shocking news today.
There has been some behaviour, you know,
over the last couple of weeks that was concerning for us.
We had to do the best thing for Jesse and Paige...
KYLIE: Yeah.
..and we also had to base it on the best advice that we could get.
So, I called in our psychologist,
which we have on standby at all times,
to come and have a chat with them over the weekend,
last night, in fact,
and I think Paige made that decision along with us.
It was her call and I think she's quite relieved.
They're flying back to Perth to be with their family
and to get the care that they need
and I can tell you that, you know,
they will be 100% supported by the Nine Network
to make sure that that happens.
We'll keep you informed and we'll let you know about how their progress is
and keep you in touch, in the loop for the rest of the series.
I know it's tough but we've got to move forward.
Yep.
RICKY: What happens to their house now, Scotty?
We're not too sure yet.
But I'll let you know as soon as I know.
But we've got a block to build. Onward and upward.
The show must go on, Scotty. The show must go on.
Well, it doesn't have to, but it's up to you guys.
But I think it should. Mmm.
MAN: Oh, yeah. Let's go on. Yeah.
Well done for supporting them both so beautifully and they...
You know, I felt as though they left, you know, a little bit happier,
you know, 'cause of the support from you guys.
Rightio. See you later. I'll see you at tea.
Yeah, it's only been four weeks, five weeks
but, like, you're with them every single day.
Mmm. It's just devastating.
(CRIES)
I just wish she would've said something to us.
I know. I feel bad.
Like, we didn't know anything about it...
It spiralled. You can't come out of it.
Yeah, I know.
You need to kind of just remove yourself...
Yeah. ..as hard...
Like, it's just... Yeah.
I didn't expect it. No. Neither.
Yeah, like Jesse said, he struggled in week one
and sort of Paige has struggled since then...
KRISTIAN: Yeah. I get where he's coming from.
I think you'd be the same... Oh, 100%.
..if either of these guys didn't want to do it.
Oh, yeah. I know. 'Cause...
But it's hard.
RICKY: Did you know that was coming? HAYDN: Not really.
I didn't see that coming.
Like, Jesse...
Jesse's one of the happiest blokes
and one of the nicest blokes you'll ever meet.
And so is Paige, to be fair.
So, yeah, to see them upset like that, it was pretty heartbreaking.
Like, you don't know what's going on inside, you know, across the road.
You know, you don't know if someone's really struggling.
And it's... You know, it's really important,
you know, that we ask that question, "Are you OK?" you know.
COURTNEY: We just heard, like, a lot of arguing, to be honest, and...
GRANT: Especially the last few days. Yeah.
BRAD: Yeah, see, we don't know where it's coming from.
We can hear it but we can't tell if it's...
We can hear people laughing... KYLIE: Yeah.
..and then I can always hear them arguing. Yeah.
But just recently, like, I think it was just getting a lot.
Yeah.
I mean, I get it. We're always arguing too.
Like, it's just, yeah, high pressure.
INTERVIEWER: What are you gonna do to process this for the rest of the day?
KYLIE: God, I'm not sure. (CRIES)
Maybe just try and stay busy.
BRAD: I can't imagine how hard that was for them to do, so...
Just how this experience is gonna be without them as well...
We're all here for the same reasons. (CRIES)
We're all just genuine people just trying to get ahead a little.
I think them looking after themselves was the right choice.
Yeah. 100%.
You know, a lot of people do have mental health issues.
If you don't speak about it, you're not OK.
Like, you need to get help and do something.
MIMI: Psych said that they need urgent care.
It's actually scary.
Just hope that they'll be OK now.
It's just... Like, to know that that's the...
that's where they're at, that's where they were
and how they've been feeling,
that just, like... it just really upsets me.
We're a big Block family. Like, we are so close.
We all love each other a lot
and we 100% support them in their decision.
COURTNEY: It kind of just puts things into perspective as well.
Like, you just get so caught up in your own house and your own (BLEEP)
and...
I don't know. I just wish, like, we could've done a bit more.
Don't you feel guilty? I feel a bit bad.
I feel sorry for them, yeah.
Like, when they're arguing, like,
I wish I kind of went over and just asked them.
(SOLEMN MUSIC PLAYS)
I 100% know they're doing the right thing.
It's just heartbreaking
knowing that they're not gonna be here with us to the end.
You know, they produced amazing rooms. Like, they've...
They finished on a high. Yeah.
It's a message to everyone.
Like, everyone in Australia, everyone here, like, you just...
yeah, you never know what people are going through.
Yeah, just be nice to people.
Be nice to everyone.
Yeah.
We should've checked on them a bit more.
Yeah. It's alright.
(KISSES) (CRIES)
SCOTT: Coming up...
3m. Is that... It's big.
..we've still got a block to build.
MAN: You have to demolish part of that wall.
Just leave that one...
What would Shaynna do?
KYLIE: Sick of changing and compromising.
Me too. Yeah.
(THUNDER CRACKS) (RAIN FALLS)
The weather rolls in...
What are we gonna do? BRAD: I'm gonna sort it out.
RICKY: There's a whole heap of rain coming. This is only the beginning.
Wild.
And with Block royalty Ronnie and Georgia in town
for our Winners Are Grinners dinner,
I put them to work over in house one.
Now it's game time.
Buttering us up before they slaughter us?
Yeah.
But is it all too much for some?
If they come on, I'm leaving. I'm done.
Why?
Do you reckon they're gonna get an opportunity to win cash?
Of course they are.
KYLIE: No, seriously. Like, I'm out.
(ELECTRICS FIZZ, LIGHTNING CRACKS) (PENGUINS BRAY)
# I'm only a man in a silly red sheet... #
SCOTT: While each house comes to terms with losing Jesse and Paige,
moving forward is the right thing to do,
so they're taking the opportunity to plan this week's rooms
and get their heads back in the game.
Thanks for watching.
At last night's judging,
the team in house two came in third place on 27 points.
Learn from the judges... Yeah.
..depending what their feedback is.
The majority of the time, like, it's constructive
and then we'll try and put that into the next room.
Because today is a public holiday, no building is allowed
and each house can only plan for the week ahead,
using the Domain In the Know website.
MIMI: That's main bedroom.
Would you like to take a look?
Hi, Grantney... Grantney... (LAUGHS) Wow! (LAUGHS)
This week, I've suggested Grantney and all the other contestants
use $16,000 from their CommBank budget
to complete their main bedroom and walk-in robes.
INTERVIEWER: What is a main bedroom? Why has it changed from 'master'?
'Cause there is no masters anymore. No. 'Main' is a bit more inclusive.
And it's just, yeah, the main area of the house.
Mmm. For sleep.
I found the most amazing bed from Create Estate,
which is available at the Block Shop.
Beautiful. Has, like, this olive ruched fabric.
Big statement.
This week, house two's main bedroom
will have a Porta timber feature wall,
sitting area, curved plaster in all the corners
and in their hallway ceiling
but their hero piece will be their olive-green bedframe.
GRANT: What we want to do is an archway through the hallway.
Monday's always tough.
We also have this massive shock of it being main bedroom
in such a short week.
I do get in my own head a little bit and I'm, like,
"Oh, should I do this, should I do that?
"Are the judges gonna like that? What are they gonna say about this?"
And then sometimes I overthink.
So, if we do an arch, right, can you have a door,
like, a sliding cavity door in an arch or no?
What have we got? You already got this built, right?
Yeah. Can't do it.
So you'd have to demolish part of the wall...
Yeah, no, too much.
..in order to get your slider into it. Yeah.
I think just leave that one.
What would Shaynna do? That's what I need to think.
# I have to praise you like... #
SCOTT: Someone who cares less about what the judges think
is Kylie in house four,
who came in second place last night by only half a point
and would've won if they'd used their bonus-point penguin.
KYLIE: Oh, I love coming second.
But I don't love the fact that they love my room.
INTERVIEWER: Let's talk about the elephant in the room,
or penguin, as it were.
They've done it. This is where they need to be.
SHAYNNA: I think the colour palette, the textures...
This is phenomenal.
They're building a really appealing house. Yeah.
Kylie and Brad. Decision time.
You're not? No.
Are you sure?
You don't want to play it? No, thank you.
In a weird way, I didn't play the penguin
because I didn't love my room,
so I didn't want to try and use it and win on a room
that I'm, like, "Eh. I just did it because I was told to, type thing."
I'm also just the average person that likes a particular style
and there's a lot more of me in the world
than there is of expert advice people, so...
(MUSIC WARPS)
Look at him. He's, like, cringing. He's, like, "Oh, (BLEEP)."
Which is true, though.
I'm just an average person doing an average wage,
making an honest living and...
Average as. Average.
Well, this week's room will be far from average,
as it will be the largest room they've built so far.
And do you want that white or sugi ban?
It needs to be shou sugi ban.
Ah, the return of shou sugi ban,
a Japanese term meaning charred timber cladding,
which got high praise from the judges in their ensuite.
Shou sugi ban, we're having that all the way across our back wall.
House four's main bedroom
will consist of their black shou sugi ban feature wall
with recessed uplighting,
hanging pendants and a king-size bed.
But that's not all.
Well, Grafico, I've been speaking with Damian
about doing a sort of more of a metallic gold coffer ceiling...
Yeah. Coffer ceiling.
INTERVIEWER: Coffered? Coffer? Coffer.
Coffered. Coffered.
Coffin.
I think coffered. Coffined?
SCOTT: No, no. Not a coffin.
Coffered, meaning recessed ceiling,
will be inlaid with a golden Grafico finish,
which will also be applied to the ceiling on their walk-in robe.
God, I hope I'm sticking to this design.
I just know the judges will be off it this week again.
I'm sick of changing and compromising.
Me too. Yeah.
# Moving on... #
SCOTT: Another team who have been searching for a winning style
are the boys in house three,
who tied for last place at judging with 26.5 points.
Yeah, we want the win desperately this week, so...
We got some really good, positive feedback
that we're heading in the right direction
and we even got our own personal style.
I believe it was Shaynna who has called our style 'holiday resort'.
That is their look and feel now. I think it should be holiday resort.
It's theirs. MARTY: Run with it.
For me, as long as you're doing better than what you were last week,
you know, a win's always gonna be around the corner.
House three's main bedroom
will consist of a Porta timber feature wall
sitting below their palm-tree wallpaper,
with light and white textures across their bedding and flooring.
And this morning, the pair are currently discussing wardrobe layout
with Foreman Dan.
What's on this wall? Cabinetry.
Cabinetry the whole way? BOYS: Yeah.
And cabinetry...
RICKY: So we've added these pull-out mirrors.
I wonder if you buy a full-length mirror
that just stands against the wall.
A full-length mirror's a must. A full-length mirror, not just...
Because we were gonna put a desk in. Like, a make-up desk.
Because they'd like to look at their whole outfit, yeah?
That's me at the gym too. When you're at the gym?
I don't want to see the top part... You want to see it all.
I want to see quads, calves, ankles...
(LAUGHS) So when you're doing squats in here,
you need to go out into the full-length mirror.
(MEN LAUGH)
# But you gotta keep your head up, oh-oh... #
Over in house five,
Kristian and Mimi are hoping to continue their hot streak this week
after the third win at Sunday night's judging.
They scored 28 points,
which also saw them win a $10,000 Hafele wardrobe upgrade.
Wowee. Where does the walk-in robe start?
Our walk-in robe is...here.
So, from there. We've got, like, one, two...
It's, like, 3m. It's big.
Unlike the other houses,
Kristian and Mimi's main bedroom is upstairs on their first floor.
Our prize this week was a $10,000 Hafele wardrobe upgrade.
This means that in addition to their cabinetry,
their walk-in robe will have some very nice additions,
including leather finishes on their bench seat,
on their coathangers, valued at $300 each,
and the inlay inside their accessory drawers,
making the space feel very luxurious.
Massive. It's a massive walk-in wardrobe.
And we're making it open as well
so it kind of opens up the whole space into the main bedroom.
We have so much Porta timber to... Get upstairs. I know. (BLEEP)
(SLURPING)
BOTH: Our secret weapon this week is the Porta timber.
Floor to ceiling!
Because of their raked ceiling,
it means their Porta timber will need to stretch 4.2m high,
making it the tallest feature wall on the block.
I think the main bedroom can potentially sell the house
because...
Oh, it can definitely sell the house.
..it's really grand, it looks really luxe
and I think that's the thing that's gonna set us apart.
INTERVIEWER: Are you forgetting the other thing you won that is luxe
and could set your part?
SCOTT: The winner of week four on The Block
and taking home the Gucci dress and earrings,
it's Kristian and Mimi.
('OOH LA LA' BY GOLDFRAPP PLAYS)
(GASPING) Rahh-raoww!
(LAUGHS)
We're very proud of ourselves. We're very proud.
A very rewarding feeling.
I just want to get these earrings off 'cause they're hurting my ears.
(LAUGHS)
And I want to get this dress off before I ruin it.
(PENGUINS BRAY)
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.
(PLAYFUL MUSIC)
SCOTT: 'Twas a public holiday with no power tools.
But just down the road, are they breaking the rules?
(TOOLS WHINE)
So, the rule is you can't be ordering
the following week's materials the week prior to site.
There's nowhere to store it and it's just a straight no-no,
so you can't do that.
It seems like they might be breaking a Block commandment -
thou shalt not build
nor have material delivered on a public holiday.
So we decided that we're gonna get it dropped to Dunc's house.
# Burning down the house... #
(TOOLS WHINE)
We're definitely not here to break any rules.
We definitely want to know where the line is
and just like Dunc said to us last week,
it's important to know where the line is not to cross it
but just work in and around that line.
# Burning down the house... #
The rules clearly state...
I asked Dan and he said you can't get timber delivered to the block,
so we didn't.
We had it delivered here, so all fair.
We only need obviously one strap.
You know what I mean? Yeah. OK.
Oh, you can call it cheeky but it's within the rules.
We're pretty excited.
We reckon, despite losing a day,
that we can deliver three rooms this week, so we can't wait to get in.
That's right. Three rooms.
Not only will the boys be tackling their bedroom and walk-in robe
but they'll also be trying to finish off
their infamous main ensuite as well.
What the (BLEEP) is this!
RICKY: Yeah, we want this bathroom behind us,
the waterproof and bathroom nightmare,
so if we can get this done...
Like, we have a lot to do today, but if we can get this done,
the boys are a red-hot chance for a win.
See you. Good stuff.
Thanks, boys.
Good on you. Good work over the weekend.
We'll see how... You too. You too.
We'll see how this goes down when we're delivering timber down the...
I'm looking forward to what you say. Yeah.
I am dying to see if a contestant sees them driving in.
That would be amusing.
Yeah, also, if anyone's angry,
I think it's gonna be because they didn't think of it.
The other contestants may not know yet.
I think there's gonna be some shock. Yeah.
And maybe some questions asked... Definitely.
..whether we are playing within the rules or not.
Technically, they are in the clear and haven't broken any rules.
(HUMS 'RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES' BY RICHARD WAGNER)
I'd be very surprised if someone didn't ask for some clarification...
which we will definitely enjoy giving.
(BOTH LAUGH)
DAN: Got some timber?
BRAD: Yeah, they had it delivered down the road.
I'll be using that next public holiday, mate.
Smart.
(LAUGHS) Very smart, that.
# Out on the patio we sit... #
Phillip Island is not only a beach town
but it also boasts beautiful farmland
and that's just where Kristian and Mimi are heading
in their Ford Ranger.
# This is Australia... #
Tonight, the couple will be staying ten minutes down the road
at Five Acres luxury farmstay
and having a Winners Are Grinners dinner
with me and some Block royalty.
MIMI: As I drove in, I turned
and then I saw the back of their heads and lost my mind...
(SCREAMS) Who is it?
Oh, my god. I swear to god... Who is it?
..which is not very safe when I'm behind the wheel.
So, next time when we go to these things, you should drive.
RONNIE: Hey, guys. GEORGIA: Hi.
SCOTT: Ronnie and Georgia, meet Mimi and Kristian.
How are you? GEORGIA: Winners, winners!
Yeah!
Ronnie and Georgia were exactly how they are on TV.
Just exactly the same.
How you see them on TV, that's how they are in real life.
SCOTT: All-Stars Ronnie and Georgia
appeared on both Elsternwick and Hampton seasons of The Block
and hold the title for the most weekly room wins
of any contestant in the show's history.
# Oh... Fashion! #
Now, we've got a beautiful dinner planned
and we've got the chat with Block royalty.
Oooh. Chat with royalty.
(LAUGHTER)
It almost kills me to say that. Yeah, Scotty.
Oh, my god. (LAUGHS)
It's actually royalty.
Now, why don't you guys go to your cabin...
Yep.
..and freshen up and get ready
and then meet us in here in about ten minutes?
Alright. KRISTIAN: Beautiful. BOTH: Sounds good.
MIMI: We were at Five Acres,
which is a beautiful cabins, little cabins...
(EXCLAIMS)
Are you kidding? Oh, my god!
# Escape this town with me... #
Oh, my god. Five Acres is...
It is such... ..five stars.
..such a beautiful property.
Like, very blessed to be here right now.
We needed this.
Hey, cow!
(IMITATES MOOING)
(MOOING)
Five-star, three-star. Five kilos of mince.
We love shopping at Aldi
but shopping to cook up a chump dinner
is not something we want to be frequent to.
This will be our last chump shop trip.
(LAUGHS) We've said that before... Next time we shop as champs.
'Cause champs do the eating, chumps do the shopping.
Yeah.
GEORGIA: Cheers to you guys.
(DAINTY CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS)
In 2017, we came third... Yep.
..and in 2021, we came last.
I was livid.
Livid. I was...
Thank you. ..so annoyed.
Thank you!
KRISTIAN: As we said, Block royalty, done it a couple of times before.
Like, they've won...
They've got the record for the most rooms won.
Rightio. Ask some questions. You've got an opportunity.
Do you feel like organisation is key
and pre-planning, like, pretty much your whole house?
I feel like by Wednesday I'm not shopping anymore 'cause... Yeah.
..I already know what my room's done...
Yep. Been on two Blocks.
They know the ins and outs.
They know how to wheel and deal and they're just experienced.
What have you got to offer, Ronnie and Georgia?
Well, funny you say that, Scotty...
Knowledge. This is enough.
Well... Four weeks free painting... No... (LAUGHS)
I mean, you're off to a flying start.
Four weeks in, you've won three.
And, guys, cash is king.
And on that note...
(CASH REGISTER DINGS) (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
There you go.
KRISTIAN: Ten g's, baby! Congratulations.
There you go. 10,000 bucks from Ford.
Whoo-hoo! Love it.
GEORGIA: What else would you want to be doing on a Monday night?
KRISTIAN: Oh, better being here than on the block.
RICKY: Tools down. Where are they?
I don't know how we find the time to do all this.
Resident chefs.
There's only one way to get out of being a chump
and that's cooking a champ dinner.
And we've whipped up one of the great...
Oh... ..Aussie classics.
I'm pretty sure this is... Aussies invented spag bol?
MAN: Go with it. Yeah?
Oh, for sure. Yes. So this is an Aussie-gnese...
Corkage with your BYO? So, enjoy it.
OK. Good.
# Don't you go out in the rain... #
While the chumps chomp down...
KYLIE: Service with a smile. Oh, I love it.
Thank you.
..it's not long before they are all discussing
who will be moving into a house one.
GRANT: Mimi said "Do you care if the next contestant comes in?"
HAYDN: The kitchen's already been chosen.
So many things have already been chosen.
Mmm. How do you come in and...
You can't be a fresh face delivering someone else's style.
It'll have to be Scotty or an All-Star or an ex-contestant
or someone like that.
(CHILLING ORGAN MUSIC MUSIC)
(RAIN FALLS)
RICKY: There's a whole heap of rain coming. This is only the beginning.
I reckon in about... probably in about an hour,
there'll be 20mm of water in here and then all of this water...
'Cause there's a grate in the slab that's going back that way
and we're just watching the water just make its way underneath
our completed rooms
and towards where we're working tomorrow.
Wild.
KYLIE: We have, like, dripping down...
Can you see it?
INTERVIEWER: Is The Block hard?
Is The Block hard?
Now, you remember, they're gonna cut straight to when you said
"This is gonna be a holiday," eh?
It would be like a holiday. It would.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Imagine what's happening to our whole roof right now.
BRAD: (BLEEP).
But you guys are from Queensland. You're no stranger to a downpour.
No. We're used to a lot of rain.
If it gets in the light, it'll trip the power
and we won't have anything.
What are we gonna do?
I'm gonna sort it out.
Everyone seemed to blow up about 40mm.
40mm. (LAUGHS) It's just a shower in Cairns.
Like, it really is.
What a waste of time.
INTERVIEWER: Mission accomplished?
Yeah, that'll stop it.
(ELECTRICS FIZZ, LIGHTNING CRACKS) (PENGUINS BRAY)
(ROOSTER CROWS)
# Green, green grass Blue, blue sky
# You better throw a party on the... #
MAN: Where'd you go?
Did you have power?
KRISTIAN: Yeah.
We lost power. MIMI: Did you?
Really? We still haven't got it.
Have a great day. Thank you.
MIMI: Last night was one of the best nights
'cause even the rain was beautiful last night.
It was loud.
INTERVIEWER: Any damage here?
Not that I know of. I don't think there's any damage.
I don't know.
Looks good to me.
SCOTT: Someone who isn't in a rush to inspect his site is Ricky.
INTERVIEWER: What's for breakfast?
Mate, a Lite n' Easy
shredded corn beef, cheese and shallot omelette mix today.
Wow. Yeah.
Delicious. Shallot.
Better than 'sha-littles'. (BOOM! TISH!)
SCOTT: Well, there was... shallot of rain last night.
(BOOM! TISH!)
Better get in and assess the damage.
HAYDN: Woke up, site was flooded.
It's gone from a dust bowl to a mud pit
and absolute chaos. RICKY: Yep.
I think we copped... What was it last night?
70. ..probably about 70mm of rain.
We had some things that were in great danger.
This is our new landscaping structure.
Oh, the grass, mate. Lawn ornament.
Yeah, it's called art.
It's a similar story in house four,
as Brad's efforts last night to cover his roof
have not stopped his slab from flooding.
Yeah, I'm used to rain
but I don't normally build a pool right on my back step, so...
Our whole slab is a swimming pool... KYLIE: Yeah.
We've got a 150mm hole.
Yep.
And the drain hole is at the high end, so...
Nowhere for it to go.
Don't know who picked that.
But, yeah, I've got some sheets of gyprock
that we plan on using for the week to come,
so I'm trying to make sure that they're in some kind of usable state
by the time it comes to it,
which is not gonna happen if the slab fills up with water.
(DRILL WHINES)
Over in house five,
Kristian and Mimi's attentions are solely on finding out
who will be filling the vacancy in house one.
MIMI: I'm really nervous about this new house.
GRANT: Really?
What if it's Steph and Gian.
Yeah.
What if it's Ronnie and Georgia? What if it's...
# Oh, yeah... #
Hey, guys. Thank you so much for coming back for the whole show.
No worries, Scotty. Is this third time lucky?
(SCOTT AND GEORGIA LAUGH)
This is Mimi and Kristian, house five.
Double storey? Double storey.
This is...? This is house one.
This is where you're gonna be.
OK. Alright.
MIMI: What if it's Ronnie and Georgia?
Whoa. What is going on?
Holy (BLEEP).
They're going to take over house one.
And they spent, like, an hour and a half in there.
They spent, like, the whole time there.
I was, like, "Why aren't you looking at the other houses?"
(PLAYFUL MUSIC) I just want to get an answer.
Your main builder here is Zak. Yep.
His offsider is Nathan.
Nate, how are you, mate? Scotty, how are you, mate?
Buddy, I'd like you to meet your new contestants.
New contestants. Ronnie and Georgia!
Hey! Let's go! How are you, mate?
Yeah, good. Yourself? Yeah, amazing, mate. Amazing.
And do you know who these guys are? No idea.
Who are you guys? (LAUGHTER)
That's fantastic! I love it! Love it!
I've got a few other things to do. On you, Nate.
Cheers, Scotty. I love it. You didn't know.
(MEN LAUGH)
It's always best to get off on the right foot with the build team.
Do you guys want some morning tea? ZAK: Yeah.
Banana breads, coffees? Let's do it.
But being All-Stars,
Ronnie and Georgia know they've got a huge task ahead of them
to finish their room by Sunday.
That's this week, master bedroom with our walk-in robe here.
Yep. That's where we're at.
MIMI: I'm spiralling
finding out that they're the new contestants
because of their experience.
Talking to them, like, the night before,
they said they've flipped 18 homes.
RONNIE: Chairs? GEORGIA: Stop talking.
MIMI: They know the ins and outs, they have these relationships.
But Damian, like, I feel like, you know, we go way back,
so I feel like you could just chuck us a little bit extra
because, like, we're gonna win this week.
DAMIAN: (ON PHONE) Only for you Georgia too.
Yeah, thanks, Damian. What a legend. (LAUGHS)
MIMI: They know how to wheel and deal and...
NADIA: (ON PHONE) Yep. No, go for it.
No, I'm just on GlobeWest.
I'm just, like, saying the Chloe Arc bedside table's really lovely.
They're just experienced and that's pretty intimidating.
MAN: House one, baby. RONNIE: Here we go.
Yeah! Winners! (ALL CHEER)
KRISTIAN: Last night was just, like, a fun dinner.
Now it's game time.
Buttering us up before they slaughter us?
Yeah. (ANXIOUSLY) Uh...
Dan, did you hear?
DAN: I haven't heard. What's up?
What's wrong? They're the new contestants.
Who? Ronnie and Georgia.
Are they? Yeah.
For house one? Yeah.
Well, they haven't won a Block yet, so I wouldn't be too worried.
But they win rooms! (LAUGHS) Eh?
Well, I think both Blocks have been disastrous for them.
Oh...
I wouldn't be too stressed.
I spiralled.
I went and told Kylie.
Kylie spiralled even more.
Kylie looks rapt.
You look stoked.
It's not that bad, mate. Don't worry.
I'm leaving. You're leaving?
Yep. Why?
If they come on, I'm leaving. I'm done.
Haydn, Mimi and myself were off to Forty Winks.
As we were coming to leave, Georgia came up and introduced herself
and announced that her and Ronnie were taking over house one.
GEORGIA: (EXCITEDLY) Hi! (FLATLY) Hi.
I'm Georgia. I know.
Oh, nice to meet you. What's your name?
Kylie.
Are we friends or are we not friends? No, we're not friends. No. No.
My guard went up and I did not want to deal with it.
RONNIE: What's going on? I'm not happy.
Not happy about what? It's a competition.
You guys. What's...
I mean, we've only done it twice before.
Yeah.
I definitely was not... not a happy camper that day.
They're dropping me to the airport.
I'm... You're getting out.
Hey, hey, hey... Welcome to The Block.
See you. MIMI: Bye.
See you. (LAUGHS)
We've all come in on an equal playing field
and then all of a sudden they're coming in,
who already have how many years experience
under their belt at renovating...
MIMI: Kylie's the best.
No, seriously, like, I'm out. Like, I'm not even kidding.
HAYDN: No, you're not. Yep.
No. 100%.
Why? I'm just over this (BLEEP).
I was over it weeks ago. No, you're not.
(ELECTRICS FIZZ, LIGHTNING CRACKS) (PENGUINS BRAY)
# I'm a new soul I came to this strange world
# Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take... #
SCOTT: There have been plenty of ups and downs
over the last two days on the block
but over in house two, it's nothing but good news,
as Courtney and Grant's new build team have started today.
We don't have a back-up plan. We don't have a builder.
I'll figure that part out.
I'm calling it from now. Don't come back on Thursday.
I don't need youse. It's all good.
I'm done. Thanks for everything. MAN: That's alright.
But I'm not having you on site. You're a (BLEEP) snake.
We've got our new builders, Building Under Construction,
which is actually their name.
I don't want to push you guys. Obviously we want to finish a room.
Oh, that's alright. Don't worry about cracking the whip.
That's all good. (LAUGHS)
It's already a different vibe around site, around out site anyway.
They work at a completely different pace to what we've seen in the past.
We'll stay back too.
We're happy to work back a little bit,
whatever we can work till tonight, so we'll do whatever you guys need.
It's alright. Let's do it. Let's do it.
Thank you. Thank you. No worries.
We've got a lot to do today. Yeah, we'll be right.
Just another day.
But it's the new Block royalty contestants
that have got one person all riled up.
HAYDN: Are you still pissed off about the Ronnie and Georgia thing?
KYLIE: 100% I am. Oh, OK.
(BLEEP).
I told you last night, it's gonna be an All-Star.
It won't be someone that's gonna be random new people coming in
with that same design...
The kitchen already chosen...
Why should they get another opportunity? Why?
Do you reckon they're gonna get an opportunity to win cash?
Of course they are.
We're already five weeks in and then all of a sudden they're, like,
"Oh, by the way, here's an All-Star team
"to take over the rest of the house
"and now you have to go up against them."
And now that they've done this... They've done nothing.
No, I'm done. No.
I told you I'm not gonna be nice to people.
SCOTT: Sounds like Kylie needs to scream into a pillow.
Luckily, the trio have arrived at Forty Winks
to check out the instore Bed Match system.
HAYDN: I'm on the Forty Winks bed.
I'm getting my bed match made.
This is a wild experience.
How a bed can massage you into your perfect sleeping position...
(RESOUNDING MUSIC)
(PLAYFUL MUSIC)
You right, mate? Mm-hm.
Brad wants us to take you back.
They've got someone to pick you up. No.
Getting a (BLEEP) taxi to the airport?
Yeah.
Don't do that. Don't go.
Kylie...
BRAD: What's going on? SCOTT: Your missus.
(LAUGHS) How's she going?
She's going to the airport, right, because you're here.
So, our prank has backfired. Oh, no!
(LAUGHS) They're only here for a day.
Yeah.
He was worried I was gonna call a body corporate at 12:30.
(BOTH LAUGH) Right, so, the prank's over.
It's over. Alright.
BOTH: What a day.
I tell you what, "Come on The Block," they said.
"Come and help out."
GEORGIA: We're, like, "That sounds a bit fun."
Today, our objective was to give the new team, whoever they are,
give them a leg up and give them the best start to the week
and see what happens
and then drama ensues, which is, you know, very much like The Block.
Just another day on The Block. Yeah.
(RINGING TONE)
Hello.
Is it Mimi? Yeah.
Scotty. Yeah.
Is Kylie there? Yeah, she doesn't want to speak.
Can she hear me? No. She's walked away...
Oh... Kylie.
(LAUGHS)
Well, can you go and get her? She needs to talk to me.
Kylie.
Kylie, are you there? KYLIE: Scott.
Kylie, just calm down, relax.
I'm relaxed.
You're gonna get on a plane and leave us, are you?
Yeah, I'm gonna leave. Yeah.
Kylie, Ronnie is a bit of a prankster and so am I.
I'm a bit of a prankster as well.
Yeah.
Ronnie and Georgia, and this is the honest truth,
are here for one day only and then they're going home this afternoon.
And I'm extremely busy...
Well, not right now, because I'm talking to you...
but I'm extremely busy ringing around trying to find new contestants
that are not ex-contestants
to take their place.
Do you get it?
Yeah, I get that.
Are you alright? Yeah.
Are you happy with me now?
Sure.
Alright. I'll see you later.
I'll see you back here.
Sure. Alright.
Bye.
She's not happy with me.
(SHOUTS) Kristian!
You know when Scotty's on site, something big is about to happen.
Oh..my..lordy!
NARRATOR: Just when you thought.. What is happening here?
NARRATOR: It..
SCOTTY: Is it paramount to cheating?
NARRATOR: The Blocks getting ready.. Tired (BLEEP) tired.
NARRATOR: To..
New contestants are coming.
Fresh blood.
(DOG WHINES)
NARRATOR: The new Blockheads, are coming.
SCOTTY: How are ya ladies? The youngest team, ever.
They could be a direct (INDISTINCT). Ok. (CRICKETS CHIRP)
..and they're ruffling feathers straight off the bat.
Am I going to be nice to them? No.
Can you just play nice? No!
I'm The Block Grinch.
This is insane!
The fact that they can pull this together in the space of a week,
blows my mind.
Wow!
NARRATOR: And..hold onto your hard hats.
Holy, wow!
NARRATOR: The most..
Boom!
..show stopping renovations.. Never seen anything like this!
(SINGS)
..are still to come.
SHAYNNA: This, takes my breath away.
Meet:
