(DRIVING ROCK MUSIC)
SCOTTY: After eight gruelling weeks...
(ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES)
..we are three quarters of the way through The Block Phillip Island.
# Can't stop Addicted to the shindig
# Chop Top He says I'm gonna win big... #
Relationships have been tested...
I don't really talk to the girls. I just don't really want to.
BRAD: Vanilla (BLEEP)!
# Kickstart the golden generator... #
It feels like very much them and us.
What have I done to get that kind of response, you know?
..and the teams' budgets have been stretched thin.
Budget's still in the red. You need some tens, boys.
And you need another 50 to get into the garden week.
We need a win. Yeah, we are desperate.
Otherwise we may as well pack our bags and go home.
But...
(DRIVING ROCK MUSIC)
..you just wait and see what I've got in store for them this week.
(DRIVING ROCK MUSIC)
The biggest week ever. Full night of painting for us.
They say that every Block. Every single week.
Biggest week ever!
But this time it actually is.
It's office and rumpus week.
The houses are too big and we haven't got enough weeks.
So, you're just gonna have to squeeze the hallway in in between.
Right.
By the end of the week,
seven team spaces, included the hallways, will be revealed.
Gotta try to finish our hallway, try and do rumpus.
And then the office area.
So, yay.
And then I drop the most colossal challenge of the season
on the Blockheads.
The Domain Listing and Buyers Jury.
The team that gets the most votes at the end of the night
will win a staggering $50,000.
(SQUEALS)
It's a massive prize.
50K to our budget would send us deep into the green.
Maybe that's actually our game-changer.
And what's a party without a couple of VIPs?
Adrian Portelli and... Danny Wallis.
How are you, mate? Ricky. Nice to meet you.
# We got it... #
SHELLEY: Our winners are...
(ELECTRONIC BEATS)
For House Five...
(OMINOUS MUSIC BUILDS)
..the challenge may be insurmountable.
We've been set a virtually impossible task this week.
With five spaces up for judging -
more than any Block team has ever attempted in 20 seasons.
We have two hallways and a stairwell, which is gigantic.
(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)
KRISTIAN: And our office and rumpus as well.
And the pressure definitely takes its toll.
Ahh, tough week. Yeah.
Tough week.
(BLEEP) sakes.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
Kristian!
What are you doing?!
I just need five minutes, please.
You right? I just can't do it anymore.
The Block?
It's (BLEEP) killing me.
Oh, (BLEEP) hell! I'm (BLEEP) done with this (BLEEP) show!
(THUNDER RUMBLES, PENGUINS CALL)
# Whoa, you let your feet run wild
# Time has come as we all fall
# Go down
# Yeah, but for the fall, my
# Do you dare to look him right in the eyes? #
DAN: Look, The Block is a marathon.
It's 12, 13 weeks of nonstop hard work.
# Run you down
# Down till the dark
# Yes, and... #
And right now we're in that three quarters of the way through,
where you're so emotionally tired, sleep deprived,
but you just gotta somehow try and get your second wind.
# Go, yeah... #
But all it can take is a win,
whether that be a room win or a challenge win.
# And way down we go
# Oh, oh, oh, oh
# Oh, way down we go
# Oh, oh... #
WOMAN: Did you have a good day yesterday?
No. The worst day of my whole life.
We came last in living and dining.
(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(SIGHS) Well!
For me, it's the space that's the concern,
as a primary living zone.
It's feeling a little bit squashed.
I don't feel like I am down the beach or at a holiday home.
I am not coming to the beach
for my whole loungeroom to be built around a TV.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
If the kitchen is the heart of the home,
and living and dining is the soul...
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
..this doesn't have it.
It's a fumble. The biggest fumble I've seen this season.
Yep.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS AND FADES)
(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
It is a real kick in the guts.
I think the thing that's hardest to process
is we started off this competition so strong,
and we had, like, four wins really early.
(ECHOES) It's Kristian and Mimi! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ECHOES) Kristian and Mimi!
(ECHOES) It's Kristian and Mimi! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ECHOES) It's a tie between Kristian and Mimi.
(STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES)
And you know, there was all talks of us potentially being
the best Block couple of all time
and, like, we could beat records and this and that,
and then to not have another win since,
it becomes harder and harder,
and you just feel like you're falling
further and further away, so...
(STIRRING MUSIC FADES)
Yeah, I'm tired.
This whole experience is killing me!
Absolutely killing me.
Just absolutely spent, and it's getting worse every day.
(OMINOUS MUSIC BUILDS)
For Kristian and Mimi, it's been a fall from grace,
but last night's winners have had the opposite trajectory.
# You know I'm gonna give you ten outta ten
# Know I'm gonna love you Love you to death... #
Wow. It's Kylie and Brad.
# You know I'm gonna give you ten outta ten
# That'll give you something you can't forget... #
(BLEEP)!
# Ten out of ten... #
MAN: How you feeling this morning?
Yeah. Good. I'm feeling good. Mmm.
I'm still shocked. (LAUGHS)
Shaynna walked into your living and dining room
and did something she has never done before.
Wh-wh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!
# Ahh! #
It just works perfectly with that kitchen.
MAN: A couple of tens?
Yeah, a couple of tens. Come at me.
I didn't think Marty gave tens out.
Well, he does when he likes what he sees.
Yeah. That's crazy.
Marty thinks that the buyers will know
they have entered another level of sophistication.
Quite frankly, this has been my favourite room
of The Block this season.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
This morning it's time to find out if the Blockheads agree
at the Domain Open for Inspections.
# Welcome to the mad house
# You've never seen a place like this before
# Welcome to the mad house... #
This is huge. This is insane!
# Where they all come back for more
# Welcome to the mad house... #
That is ridiculous! (LAUGHS)
# It's the place you always wanted but you didn't know you need... #
COURTNEY: Kylie and Brad need to just calm down
with how amazing that room looks!
Leave some style for the rest of us, Kylie and Brad.
Jesus! (BLEEP)!
Leave some space for the rest of us too.
You can see why they got tens.
# Mad house... #
That is a table, and it still looks small in here.
# Welcome to the mad house... #
Um, welcome to the first Board meeting of the year.
I'd just like to say that it's good to have you here all this morning.
Haydn, can you please present our budget?
Uh, I don't...I don't really want to. (LAUGHS)
50K down. (BLEEP)!
(LAUGHTER)
They've done such a good job, and the artwork is stunning!
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
COURTNEY: So good! This is beautiful.
This is...this feels very homely.
Even though it's black, like, it feels really homely.
That is not how I taught him to light a fire.
(LAUGHTER)
That is going out in about five minutes.
HAYDN: He gave it a crack.
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
# It's like supernatural
# This love's possessing me... #
MADDY: Yeah, I think they've done, really, an amazing job.
I love it! Love, love, love.
GRANT: Sometimes it's more difficult to style such a big space
and they absolutely nailed it.
They deserved the win. They deserved the two tens.
In fact, they probably deserved three.
# It's like supernatural... #
Last night the judges were mixed
on Maddy and Charlotte's third place living and dining.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I would like a little more drama.
Yeah, yeah. Personally.
I really feel the styling has completely let them down.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Shaynna just thinks it's vanilla.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
Shaynna, vanilla is a universally loved flavour.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)
It's no secret that Kylie has given the girls the cold shoulder
since they arrived to take Jesse and Paige's place.
(OMINOUS MUSIC SWELLS)
Maybe a couple of tens on the board last night...
(OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)
..has her in a friendlier mood.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
KYLIE: All I wanna do is centre their coffee table,
but I know it's like that because it's, like, an odd shape.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Look at that!
They've literally just put a bit of stone there!
Is that how they just get away with it?
(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)
That looks shocking!
It's just...like, there's nothing exciting about it.
Yeah, I get the vanilla comment,
but we thought that of their bathroom too, though.
So, they are consistent.
BRAD: They can stay meh, as far as I'm concerned.
They can stay vanilla.
It's just sort of...
Like, it's sort of what you see in a lot of homes,
and I guess, a holiday home, it's ideal for that,
but we did sort of comment,
thinking they just bought a furniture package.
Like, it was all very matchy-matchy.
That matches that.
It's like they just bought it all in two sets.
Literally, yeah, like a pack... a furniture package.
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
It just looks like a show home.
Just cold in general.
That's exactly the opposite of what you're trying to do.
Yeah. I like ours better.
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Earlier this morning...
# By the way... #
..the teams found out what's on the cards this week.
(GASPS)
# 'Cause all you... #
It's office and rumpus week.
That's right.
The Blockheads have two rooms to deliver -
an office and a rumpus room.
MAN: How much did Scotty budget for this week?
Scotty budgeted $16,000 for this week.
How generous of him.
Yep, out of the 250 grand CommBank budget,
I've suggested they spend only 16 grand.
How much is the budget for the hallways?
There is no budget for the hallways.
They were just slipped in a couple of weeks ago.
Two rooms and a hallway! There goes the hallway.
Hallway? Oh, that's right.
A couple of weeks ago, a very panicked Dan
brought this to Shelley and my attention.
Oh, Scotty, Shelley, how are we?
Dan, you got a drama?
Little bit drama.
I think there's actually no Hallway Week.
No.
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
There isn't. Oh, there isn't?
There's no Hellway Week. No.
Well, I mean, it's there, but there's no allocated week.
On the schedule. So, everyone's in a panic. I'm in a panic.
Yeah, well, the houses are too big and we haven't got enough weeks.
We'll come up with something. Alright. Thanks, guys.
See you. See you, Dan.
So, Shell and I came up with an idea.
Hey, boys. That's very generous.
Come over here for a sec, fellas.
What's happening? Well...
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
The houses are too big and we haven't got enough weeks.
So, you're just gonna have to squeeze the hallway in in between.
Like, we're thinking that, for the hallway here,
we, you know, give you a timeframe - let's call it two weeks -
to knock it over, and then we...we judge it.
We judge it? Shell and I judge it.
We judge it. Right.
Yeah, and whoever builds the best hallway, dresses it,
as judged by Shell and I...
Yeah? ..wins 10,000 cash.
Whoo!
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Uh, I think hall week is generally called the week from hell,
something along those lines.
MAN: Hell Week. Hell Week. Thank you.
So, the hallways are now due this Thursday,
which means they've got three days to get these finished.
(DRIVING ROCK MUSIC)
Not to mention whilst they work on
the office and rumpus room spaces as well.
(DRIVING ROCK MUSIC)
We gotta try and finish our hallway, try and do rumpus,
And then the office area.
It's really three spaces.
So, yay.
A lot of pressure.
GRANT: Definitely harder than any other week
we've done on The Block, for sure.
Yeah.
It's just everything. It was a perfect storm.
(THUNDER RUMBLES, PENGUINS CALL)
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.
# You and I must fight
# For our rights
# You and I must fight
# To survive... #
SCOTTY: It's possibly the biggest week
we've seen on The Block yet...
(DRIVING ROCK MUSIC)
..with the hallways due on Thursday
and the office and rumpus up for reveal on Sunday.
From that door to that wall, how big is it?
330. 330?
We both do have business degrees.
I think maybe it's our business minds.
Like, that's how, like...
We're less design focused, more, like, business-minded.
That's just naturally how we are.
We want to attract the market that's around us,
which, on Phillip Island, is, like, the holiday, coastal market.
So, I think, for us, we're, like, "How do we add value?
"How do we create a house
"that we can get as many people interested as possible?"
Maddy and Charlotte have got big plans
in the upstairs area of House One.
So, this week we're changing our office into a rumpus
because we don't see the value in a 6-by-3.5-metre office
in a holiday home.
So, we're gonna change that into the rumpus.
(DRIVING ROCK MUSIC)
The simple space is gonna have some comfy seating,
an office nook, and a TV above a timber entertainment unit.
But their grand plan is taking shape
in the back area of the mezzanine level.
In the back area,
which was actually allocated as the guest bedroom,
we've done a little flipperoo.
We're gonna present, like, a sitting room,
which is gonna look a little bit odd to the judges,
'cause they're gonna be like,
"Why am I walking into just, like, a sitting room
"with some occasional chairs in it?"
But that is part of the bigger plan to have a guest retreat.
(DRIVING ROCK RHYTHMS)
This guest retreat, with its own entrance and spiral staircase,
is something Maddy and Charlotte got the ball rolling on weeks ago.
And can you still access this from the main house?
Yes. There'll be a door there that has a lock on it.
A lockable door? Yep.
OK, but this is good. This is awesome.
I'll forward them on to the right people.
We'll get it going. OK, thank you.
With the plans locked in,
the girls even had Block architect Julian Brenchley on board.
JULIAN: You're on the money with the spiral staircase,
Perfect. Amazing.
And it's gonna make the house look amazing!
That's good. That's what we want. Alright. OK. All good.
Thank you so much for that.
You have your ladder on that side.
Maddy and Charlotte could be on to a winner with this idea...
(UPBEAT POP MUSIC)
..because, a few seasons back, contestants Tess and Luke...
Whoo! Hey!
..delivered a similar space with its own entrance...
This is feeling like a proper self-contained little apartment.
You are now competing for a different buyer
from everyone else.
..and went on to win the series.
Tess and Luke are taking home to Cairns
a whopping 730 grand cash.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
We came into a house that was beautiful, but it wasn't us,
and it wasn't our style,
and a lot of decisions weren't made by us.
So, this was, like, I guess our way of being, like,
no, we wanna add some sort of value or something to this house
that is not just your stock-standard bedroom,
or...you know.
We wanna do something a bit different.
That's why we started to pursue the idea from the start.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
# Tell me why I don't like Mondays
# Tell me why I don't like Mondays... #
I love Mondays. I love Mondays.
I love...I love the inconsistent feedback
and then coming into your room and racking your brain on a Monday.
It's delightful.
It's one of my favourite pastimes. I'm gonna miss it.
Honestly, if I could live every Monday...
..if I could live a life full of Mondays on The Block,
I'd be a very happy man.
This week we have the office space
and then also the rumpus room.
So, decisions need to be made there.
Yeah, it's just insane!
This week the big concern for the married couple
is the office space,
which they made the decision to make smaller a few weeks back
to make the mezzanine ensuite bigger,
with a grand plan of turning this level
into a second main suite.
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
However, the judges didn't love the idea.
MARTY: So, they've taken space.
Fundamentally, doing that is a massive error
from a real estate perspective.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
And I absolutely hate it.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
SHAYNNA: I do have to agree.
For a secondary ensuite, this is such a waste of space.
It's too much.
I think this floor plan is a big mistake in layout.
For me, it's just - it's a miss.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
MAN: Let's get all the walls up, let's get it all framed out,
and everything done here, and then let's have another meeting,
and once the space is all put together,
let's work out how it's gonna work.
But there's one thing they're confident
that can save the now smallest office space on The Block.
GRANT: Courtney's styling, which always sets us apart.
Curves are what makes us different,
and we got quite a unique feature in the plaster
that compliments the kitchen curve.
Along with the curved plaster on the balustrade,
they're going to have a built-in shelf on the wall
with an office desk set-up in front
and a sitting area as you enter the space.
What we've done with our office is that nothing's cement.
So, you can...we can move out the desk if we need to
and it could be, like, a little reading nook.
We tried to tick a few boxes there.
I also have a thought with the other room.
(MEDITERRANEAN GUITAR RHYTHMS)
As you go into the rumpus room,
it is a bit of a narrow room, and a longer room.
In this extra living space,
they're going to have an L-shaped sofa, coffee table,
big TV on a Porta Timber wall,
sconce lights, and artwork.
(MEDITERRANEAN GUITAR RHYTHMS)
If we can get an L-shaped lounge this way,
then that eliminates any storage this wall.
Yeah, like, a lounge which kicks out, like...
Like, a chaise. Yeah.
You can have a lounge there and a chaise, so that that wall...
Chaise or shaise? It's 'shaise'.
That's very bougie.
It's a French word. It's not 'cheh'.
Chaise.
What do you think about chaises?
(COURTNEY LAUGHS)
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Our house is different to everyone else's house
'cause we have two hallways, downstairs and upstairs.
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
And a stairwell, which is gigantic.
KRISTIAN: And our office and rumpus are
on separate levels of the house as well.
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
The rumpus room, which is on the ground floor,
was originally planned as a third bedroom or guest suite,
but Kristian and Mimi have decided
to take advantage of its proximity to the pool
and make it another living space...
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
..with everything you could expect to find.
Upstairs, we have a massive office space.
We felt that it was unnecessary.
So, we've done a bedroom.
People love more bedrooms.
This extra bedroom will have a double bed,
modest wardrobe, reading chair,
and coastal inspired artwork on the wall.
(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
So, those are House Five's plans for the week.
Question is, can they afford them?
Lucky I have something in store
that could be an absolute game-changer.
# Pain
# You made me a You made me a believer
# Believer... #
Oh, g'day!
WOMAN: Hi again. MAN: Morning.
WOMAN: Scotty, hello! WOMAN: Hi!
MAN: I feel like we only saw you yesterday.
How are we all?
Great, mate. Doing well.
I know you're very busy planning your rumpus-slash-office,
but I've got an extremely important announcement to make.
# Pain
# You made me a You made me a believer
# Believer... #
And to help me do that, I've brought along my friend,
resident property expert from Domain,
the very knowledgeable Alice Stolz.
Welcome, Alice. Hi, guys. Great to be here.
(APPLAUSE)
As you know,
The Block is the most challenging real estate game in the country,
Can we guess what this week's challenge is?
CONTESTANTS: Yes.
Yes, you can. (LAUGHTER)
Well, we knew this was coming, didn't we?
We didn't have this officially down in the schedule,
but we knew this was coming, didn't we?
We knew it was coming. We had a bit of a sniff.
The Domain Listing and Buyers Jury.
Yes! Come on!
(DRIVING ROCK MUSIC)
Working with your agents, you will create a fantastic Domain listing
telling everybody how your house is the best on The Block.
We all know you guys are gonna be auctioning your homes
back to back on the same day,
so you have to do whatever it takes
to make your house stand out from the crowd.
And the best way to do it
is through creating an emotional connection to the property.
Emotional connection. We always talk about that.
Once you've created your Domain listing,
you're gonna put on a soiree of sorts...
(LAUGHS) Yay!
(UPBEAT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
..for 100 prospective buyers.
I feel like, instead of, you know,
constantly just getting judges' feedback,
you're getting feedback from prospective buyers.
The judges aren't buying your house.
Those guys are.
And you better put on a good shindig.
The team that gets the most votes at the end of the night
will win a staggering...
(ELECTRONIC MUSIC BUILDS)
..$50,000... Wow.
(SQUEALS)
..cash, thanks to Domain.
Gee. 50 grand!
If you win this challenge, that's almost like winning five weeks.
Well, it is - it's like winning five weeks of The Block.
$50,000 towards our budget would basically pay for our landscaping.
No, it wouldn't. Done!
Why not add a bit more pressure to this week?
Now, just saying, the team that won this challenge last year
went on to win The Block with a record profit.
(ROCK GUITAR RHYTHMS)
So, you really gotta pull out all the stops.
It's gonna be a Block party to remember.
I'll bring everyone up here and I'll tell them to look down...
..at all the other peasants.
Mimi!
(LAUGHTER)
So, I suggest you get on the blower to your agents immediately
and get the ball rolling.
Yeah. You there, mate? (LAUGHTER)
Yeah, we got some big news.
Yeah, we're organising a shindig this week.
Yeah. WOMAN: A shindig!
Yeah, I know we're good at it. Now, that's what I'm talking about.
(ROCK GUITAR RHYTHMS) (LAUGHS)
Get on the case. Good luck, everybody. See you later.
CONTESTANTS: Thank you! ALICE: See you, guys.
Gotta try and organise an open for inspection.
We gotta try and finish our ensuite, finish our hallway.
Try and do rumpus. Photos.
Copywriting. Don't even know what that is yet. Gotta google that.
Yeah, there's a whole list of things that we gotta get planned.
This is gonna be a wild week.
People calling last week massive -
this is...just gonna be on roids.
Like, there'll be barely any sleep this week.
(THUNDER RUMBLES, PENGUINS CALL)
SCOTTY: Welcome back to The Block,
where I've just dropped a potential 50 grand bomb on the Blockheads.
# I wanna rock'n'roll all night
# And party every day... #
Big day this Thursday.
50 grand on the line. Domain open home.
Jeez, that's a big one. Yep.
Big one. Massive.
50 grand, baby!
50 Gs, baby!
MAN: So, what needs to happen, guys?
Uh...
So, we need to, um... work with our agent.
(JAUNTY MARCHING BAND MUSIC)
(APPLAUSE)
Hi, Yvette! Courtney's here too.
How are you?
Get the right people invited.
Figure out catering, entertainment.
(JAUNTY MARCHING BAND MUSIC)
(APPLAUSE)
Should I fly my parents in?
Your parents could be potential buyers,
but then is that a conflict of interest...
No, not...for food! Oh! Argggh!
Yes! I thought...
My parents aren't gonna buy our house!
Oh, my god, imagine setting up a temporary kitchen at the front
and your dad making pad thai.
(MUSIC STOPS) Arggh!
(JAUNTY MARCHING BAND MUSIC)
(APPLAUSE)
MAN: Hey, do you want a DJ?
We had a DJ last time in one of the homes. Do you want a DJ?
Well, it'll be DJ or live tunes.
Mate, we are pumped for this.
Throwing a party
and actually getting to use the space that we've built
for what we believe is what it's gonna be used for,
that excites us.
We'll see if we can find out what our limitations are
and go from there.
I may be serving drinks with no top on and a bow tie.
(LAUGHTER)
Photos were coming the next day!
(JAUNTY MARCHING BAND MUSIC)
(APPLAUSE)
WOMAN: So, what we'll do, once we get photos on Tuesday afternoon,
obviously we get them processed as quickly as we can,
and then we just share them with you overnight.
Well, thankfully our real estate agent was kind of on top of it.
We will see you at 7:00. Sounds good. Alright, thanks, Jodie.
Thanks, Jodie. Bye! Thanks.
With 50 grand on the line,
your real estate agent is going to play a key role
in how you present and sell the house.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
So, Domain challenge,
and we don't have a real estate agent.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
We're so not ready for this.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Last week the Queenslanders got some bad news.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Our real estate just pulled out.
Oh, golly!
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
So, I don't know how we're gonna do a Domain challenge
without an agent that would wanna come on board.
MAN: You guys went into quite a spin.
It's a lot to try and digest,
not to mention you don't have much time.
What have we got - Thursday? Yep.
Technically, three days,
and the fourth day is you're throwing a party at your home.
But with 50 grand on the line this week,
Kylie and Brad aren't taking it lying down.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
Yeah, so, we've put out a call
to a local agent, Alex Scott, Greg Price.
(JAUNTY MARCHING BAND MUSIC)
(APPLAUSE)
Yeah, mate, so, we're in the hunt for a real estate agent
to help us sell our Block home.
PHONE: Yeah, look, I'd be keen to come down and have a look
at the property with you tomorrow, if that's...if you're available.
Mate, that would be amazing.
And, yeah, we can go through things.
I know the property well.
I sold it to the people the Block bought it off. (LAUGHS)
So...and it's amazing what you guys are doing.
So, I'm really looking forward to coming down and having a look.
But why stop at one agent when you can have two?
We also reached out to...
KYLIE: Michael, from McGrath,
in Melbourne - Melbourne base.
(JAUNTY MARCHING BAND MUSIC)
(APPLAUSE)
We are hoping you might be able to come and save the day.
You'd be all over it.
This will be your sixth time - someone with lots of experience.
Maybe we needed to go with someone that has some Block experience
that understands how it all works.
Someone that's potentially won a few before.
Yeah, so, out of the six, Josh and I have won it three times.
Amazing!
Placed...placed two,
and so...yep, we know what we're doing.
We felt really comfortable chatting to Michael
straight away on the Zoom.
He knows his stuff,
and it sort of puts your mind at ease a little bit
when you can actually chat to them.
Michael, we've spoken to a local agent, Greg,
from Alex Scott Real Estate
here on the island,
and we sort of thought,
by having more of a local representation,
but then doing a little bit of a collaboration
with a bigger agent that's got more experience,
maybe that would be something that you could be interested in.
So, having local boots on the ground,
plus the juggernaut that is Josh and I...
Yes.
..and the McGrath network coming in to assist
and work in tandem with Greg and his team,
um...it just makes sense.
Yeah, really. Perfect.
Well, we're glad it makes sense to you
because that's what we were hoping for.
Kylie and Brad have gone from having zero agents
to now having two agencies
sharing the load for the Domain challenge.
Now we got the heavy hitters. I love it!
I think we've probably got the best team
and no-one knows it yet.
We've got this, team. Let's do it! Whoo!
Alright, thanks, man. Yes!
Whoo! (LAUGHS)
Next step now is we need to organise the...
Sort out the catering.
Yeah, catering, what we're gonna do about our photos.
Lots of stuff.
There's lots of stuff for Thursday,
but we also have the build of our office-rumpus
happening at the moment, so...
And hallway. And hallway! Yeah.
# Good day... #
('ROCK AND ROLL PART 2' BY GARY GLITTER PLAYS)
(MUSIC STOPS) Jesus!
Peter from Truecore, mate! (LAUGHS) He's out of control.
Jeez, he's going quick through the car park!
('ROCK AND ROLL PART 2' BY GARY GLITTER PLAYS)
Alright, I'm breaking this thing, mate.
You gonna hammer it? Yeah, I'm hammering.
Don't hammer it too hard. No, I'm just gonna run at it.
I reckon Superman... BOTH: Headbutt it.
Yeah, Superman headbutt.
I feel sorry for this lever. Yeah, I know. (LAUGHS)
It's a bad day for the lever. (LAUGHS)
Run-up? Run-up.
(GLASS SMASHES)
(CLUNK!)
(LAUGHTER) That's pulled.
(LAUGHTER)
Slammed it, broke the glass, pulled the lever,
bang, straight into House Three.
H was excited.
He's a bit of a pyro, so...
(WHOOPS)
H lit the flare off in our rumpus,
and Scotty came running up the stairs.
I don't know where he was or how he knows.
Distress signal.
Proper safety flare. It filled the room up.
I couldn't see Haydn.
Haydn's turned around to look at me.
I'm like, "Mate, turn the other way."
And then Scotty just appears out of the smoke.
(SCOTTY COUGHS) Hey! The call has been answered.
Scotty! I saw the flare go off.
Thanks for answering the call, mate.
We get to exhaust 10,000 bucks in Hipages trades.
Beauty! What are we doing, boys? We just need some help.
We really desperately need help with plastering this week.
Massive room, massive job.
If we're gonna finish, we're gonna need a big team of plasterers.
With the hallway due on Thursday
and an office and rumpus room due on Sunday,
getting a team of plasterers
is an ace up the sleeve for the boys this week.
Rightio, plasterers. Hipages app, you got it?
Beautiful! So, take some photos.
Beautiful!
Add it in. And post.
Ad went up, and, yeah, wait on the call.
10,000 bucks worth of trades from Hipages,
plus 5,000 bucks to get something flash for the room.
The boys have a relatively simple plan for their rumpus this week,
with a few sofas, a coffee table,
and mounted TV on the wall.
(UPBEAT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
But their real game-changer is happening in the office area.
The office area... (BLOWS RASPBERRY) Office in the bin.
(BLOWING RASPBERRY)
(UPBEAT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Who needs an office when you're coming down to Phillip Island?
So, we're gonna do a big games area
and make it that really nice entertaining house.
With the five grand,
we're gonna get a pool table slash air hockey table,
maybe a 'Pac-Man' game, maybe a 'Street Fighter' game,
and maybe a cocktail cart for a few quiet sippers.
Hey, that's fantastic, boys. That's a great idea.
Yeah, mate. And this room's gonna be terrific.
I think the hardest thing is that
we've put so much effort, blood, sweat, and tears, sleepless nights,
and super proud of the work that we've done,
and we've just got zero reward for it.
Our budget's still cooked.
And we've got the Buyers Jury as well this week. 50K's worth.
I reckon, 'cause you're the challenge kings,
I reckon you can do that.
There's 100K on the line this week.
Yeah. There's 100K.
50K for the Domain challenge,
there's 10K for hallway,
10K for rumpus,
and then, potentially, you know, if you can jag some tens,
there's 100 there.
So, we could go from in the red to, you know, in the green - miles.
This is your week! This is our week, mate.
So, yeah, we're pumped.
# Every time I say things never go my way
# I gotta look on the bright side, baby
# When it's pouring rain... #
Ricky and Haydn have a small army of trusted tradies to help them out.
But not so for Kristian and Mimi,
who happen to have the most work out of all the teams this week.
So, just to add to all the drama of the two spaces
and the upstairs, downstairs, hallways, challenge,
the site did become a bit messy.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
DAN: Kristian? Yes?
Clean? Oh, mate... Look at this.
I'm a clean worker. I have been throughout the whole season.
I've just been absolutely bombarded these last two weeks.
No, I don't want excuses. So, I will clean it up.
We're getting it cleaned up. Alright.
I'm gonna go downstairs, stop all works until this is Mickey Mouse.
Well, instead of closing us down,
I'll start working on that straight away.
Nah. I'm closing it down till it's cleaned up.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
(BLEEP) stay up all night - any (BLEEP) gonna be (BLEEP) dirty.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I think it was a fair call,
but the way that he came across,
he made it sound like we're messy all the time.
It's literally the first time it's ever happened.
This week, to continue on from the all-nighter on Sunday,
and the all-nighter the week before, and the week before,
and the lack of sleep, and... yeah, there's just...
..I don't know, just to try and piece everything together
is really hard.
Very drained, physically, emotionally,
and...mentally, I guess.
To keep things moving,
Kristian has sent his crew downstairs while he cleans up the mess.
Kristian?
Where's all your workers?
What do you mean? Where are they?
They're working.
Yeah, there's no working until all this is cleaned up.
Boys! We gotta clean upstairs still.
(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Bucket.
I'm cleaning it now.
Well, we need it cleaned up, so, still...
I'm doing it now! Let's just clean up.
Well, it's not safe for us.
I'm doing it... I'm cleaning it now, Dan.
Yeah, but I want them to help 'cause I want it done.
Yeah, I'm doing it... We've been asking all da y.
It's a one-man job to clean all this up...
Well, let's turn a one-man job for an hour
into a four-man job in ten minutes.
The thing is, it doesn't take...
The more we argue about it, the longer we're waiting.
I've cleaned out...I've cleaned... The quick...the quick...
The quicker we do it, the quicker it gets done.
MAN: That other stuff, we need.
It's, like, if we spend an hour cleaning up now,
that's an hour behind that we are
on everything else that we're prepping, so...
I think, because it was the first time throughout the whole season
that it happened,
that's why I took it a bit hard.
(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(BLEEP)!
(SIGHS)
(SNIFFLES)
(CRIES)
MIMI: Is he crying?!
Dan! Did you make him cry? Eh?
Did you make Kristian cry?
No. I'm making him clean up, like I asked 100 times.
I'm sick of asking the same question
day after day after day, hour after hour!
(SOBS)
(SOMBRE MUSIC)
I find it hard to comfort,
because usually Kristian's the one comforting me.
Kristian!
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
What are you doing?!
(KRISTIAN BREATHES SHAKILY)
Kristian?
(EXHALES) Shut the door, please.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I just need five minutes, please.
But you can't react like that!
Can I just have five minutes, please?
Can I, like, try and talk to you?
Yeah, you can, but just... can I just have five minutes?
(KRISTIAN CRIES)
I'm leaving! Meems...
How (BLEEP) embarrassing is he?
Who the (BLEEP) acts like that?
He's crying, but I'm, like, embarrassed as (BLEEP)!
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Gonna leave his arse!
(THUNDER RUMBLES, PENGUINS CALL)
('STIR IT UP' BY BOB MARLEY PLAYS)
(EXHALES)
(CLEARS THROAT) Sorry, guys.
('STIR IT UP' BY BOB MARLEY PLAYS)
MAN: Part of the show.
(CLEARS THROAT) It's all part of the show.
Seeing Kristian cry, the way that I react to it isn't...normal.
Like, crying when you're happy is fine, but I don't...
Crying when you're sad is, like, be a man.
Eat some concrete. It's a bit embarrassing.
I don't like how I react to it.
You know, when I cried, when I was younger,
my mum would always say, "Why are you crying?
"What are you doing that for?"
Like, "Grow up," like, "Snap out of it,"
instead of comforting me,
and I didn't realise that I've adopted that.
I think that's definitely something I need to hone in on.
(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Don't get angry for me getting upset.
Stop crying!
(RELAXED ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
With their brand-new real estate agents locked in...
We've got this, team. Let's do it! KYLIE: Whoo!
BRAD: Thanks, mate. Yes!
Whoo!
..last night's winners are off on their Ford Getaway
in the Mustang Mach-E.
(ROCK GUITAR RHYTHMS)
I haven't driven it in beast mode yet.
Oh, do you wanna drive? I want this bad boy, hey?
# So, I said I'm on the roam so I need a car
# And I know that I'm getting alive... #
So, our Ford Getaway... Was for a helicopter ride.
Helicopter ride!
(DRIVING ROCK MUSIC)
Are you flying it? No, no, no, no.
I tell you who IS excited. Who's excited?
Ollie, the pilot, 'cause it's his second flight.
So, he's very excited. (LAUGHTER)
He's gonna fly directly over
one of the greatest attractions on Phillip Island.
That'll give you a bird's eye view. It'll be a ripper.
I'm not nervous about flying and the experience.
It's the fact that I don't have control freaks me out.
('THE RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES' BY WAGNER PLAYS)
So, I was extremely nervous about getting on the helicopter.
('THE RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES' BY WAGNER PLAYS)
Scotty did mention that we were gonna see
somewhere pretty epic over Phillip Island,
which was The Block.
# I
# Wanna fly
# To heaven
# Just for the weekend... #
It was actually a really great experience.
(UPBEAT MUSIC FADES)
How was it?
Yeah, it was good! Yeah, it was unreal.
You know Tom and Sarah-Jane, don't you?
Hey, Kylie. Hi!
A couple of seasons ago in Gisborne,
Tom's 'never say die' attitude
and Sarah-Jane's refined style...
It turns out that I'm, like, a styling genius.
Are you?! Yes, I know.
..won over the judges time and time again.
NEALE: I love it! SHAYNNA: Mmm.
It's so beautifully done!
DARREN: It feels like that perfect Ralph Lauren country house.
Yum! Love it!
The talent here is phenomenal.
Tommy is great,
and I have said to him numerous times
how much I've always wanted to meet his wife, Sarah-Jane.
So, I was ecstatic.
Now, we got a great night planned for you guys.
You guys go to the bar and set up the drinks.
Sweet! Sounds good.
I'm gonna show you where you're sleeping tonight. Come this way.
Then we had all the range of the Phillip Island Winery.
(BIRDSONG)
Now, this is an EcoHut, by Ecoliv,
and they're a local building company,
and they design and build these and drop them in place.
They're absolutely incredible.
Really cute. It's cool detail. That's unreal.
Really nice!
Oooh, look - there's even a light-up mirror.
Pretty flash-looking cabin.
(FUNKY BEATS)
Here's to a win. Winner, winner.
A good win.
What more could you want?
(CHIMES TINKLE)
While last night's winners live it up...
(WHIP CRACKS)
I have to cook the chumps dinner
'cause Kristian and I are chumps.
I went to Aldi to buy some ingredients,
which was terrifying,
'cause I hate grocery shopping, 'cause I hate cooking.
There's no pork shoulder.
There's loin shoulder?
I really don't like grocery shopping.
It's very, um, stressful.
Ahh! Pork shoulder. One per couple?
One, two...
I'm going to do a slow-roasted pork shoulder
with a pickled slaw on the side.
(LIVELY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(SINGING IN ITALIAN)
Chumps dinner - finally, we're not cooking one.
(WHOOPING)
Yum! WOMAN: That's cooked to perfection.
The crackling. The crackling was great.
(LIVELY MUSIC CONTINUES)
KRISTIAN: Delicious.
It was nice hosting everyone.
Cheers. Thanks for coming! (ALL TOAST)
(LIVELY MUSIC CONTINUES)
COURTNEY: What a feed.
Can I just say that was the best cook-up
that anyone's done all year?
They nailed it! They nailed it.
They should lose every week.
(LAUGHTER)
(ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)
SCOTTY: Oh, here they are!
Hi! Winners are grinners.
Winners ARE grinners.
Welcome to Phillip Island Winery.
I love it. The food's fantastic.
The open fire.
It's absolutely a beautiful place.
Take a seat here.
Someone's gonna teach us how to do that salami rose.
SARAH-JANE: I know!
I'll show you how to eat it, though. (LAUGHTER)
KYLIE: Just really nice to hang out with Tom and Sarah-Jane.
Um, like, she's very real about everything
and the experience and stuff.
Hey, um, I'm sitting with the fire behind me.
I'm just gonna take my jumper off, if that's alright.
Yeah, getting a bit toasty. Yeah, take it off, Scotty.
Beautiful. Ohh! That is better.
Oh, little bit of chest there!
Would anybody like the beef cheeks? 'Cause they're cooked.
(LAUGHTER)
How did all the other contestants go?
Honestly, their rooms were amazing.
Yeah. I...to be honest...well...
(LAUGHS) He's like, "No, they weren't."
Whose room didn't you like?
The girls' ones just didn't... there's nothing in it.
Is that the sisters? Yeah.
That took over from the couple that left?
What - was it empty or something?
No. No, it just didn't have...
Like a furniture package.
Like, matching dining table, matching coffee table.
So, it was very display home? BOTH: Yeah.
Yeah, right. Mmm.
(FIRE CRACKLES)
Enjoy the wine, enjoy the meal, enjoy the money!
The money, honey!
Don't give it to me. Yeah, give it to me.
Are you sure? Yeah.
'Cause I only won 20 grand.
So, if you wanna donate it over here, I'll take it.
That's for you guys for winning loungeroom.
Congratulations. Thank you!
But I have dessert. TOM AND SARAH-JANE: What is it?
They got two tens last night.
BRAD: What's your poison, mate?
Double-coated! Tim Tams.
I tell you what's in there -
there's $20,000 worth of Tim Tams in there.
(LAUGHTER)
I would take that. I would take that.
There you go. Oh, guys!
Thanks, mate. Thanks, Scotty. Thank you.
It was worth coming. Don't worry.
We'll take the rest, mate. Yeah, we'll take the money.
Youse can take that. That's fine.
TOM: How good's that?
Yeah, look, $20,000 from Arnott's. Big Bikkies.
Wow, that's 30 Gs.
Well, congratulations,
because this has been a triumphant week for you guys.
Yes, it really has.
Like, you've won, and you've got two tens as well
from Marty and Shaynna.
Yeah. Unbelievable!
Unbelievable. How good's that? Well done.
Good job, guys. Cheers!
ALL: Cheers!

With 50 grand on the line in the Domain challenge,
Kristian has spent the day cleaning the entirety of House Five
for the real estate photographers coming tomorrow morning,
and there's more to go.
My aim for Monday night was to clean all the rooms.
Lots of cleaning.
Lots of moving furniture.
I went to bed.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
As much as that kind of let the team down,
I just physically couldn't.
I couldn't push myself.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(SIGHS)
There's still so much to do.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I guess I was hoping she was just gonna push a little bit harder,
but then again, like, I don't know how she was feeling.
I think it just became a little bit overwhelming.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
I'll take that as a yes.

(DRIVING ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
With a $50,000 Domain challenge happening on Thursday,
all the teams are pedal to the metal
getting their houses clean and ready for photos.
Charlotte. Nice to meet you. I'm Sharon. How are you, Charlotte?
I'm Dean. Pleased to meet you. Hey! Nice to meet you.
A few weeks back, Ricky and Haydn and Courtney and Grant
picked their real estate agents.
Who have you got? We've gone Ray White.
So, we've locked in our agent. Who's that?
That's Ray White.
So...that would be two people using Ray White?
That's two people using Ray White.
Yes. We know. (LAUGHS) OK!
Despite one agent wanting to sell two houses,
there's a good reason why that shouldn't happen.
So, you can't do two houses, alright?
It's like a jockey trying to ride down the straight at Flemington
in the Melbourne Cup with two horses, you know?
Be good to watch, but it's not possible.
Yeah, it'd be good to watch, but it's just not gonna happen.
When it was all said and done,
Houses Two and Three ended up with the same agency,
but more importantly, different agents.
(UPBEAT POP MUSIC)
MAN: Now, there was a bit of confusion with the photographer
with House Two and House Three, I believe.
Was there?
There sure was!
We were told to get the house ready by 8:30.
It's a bad day for a photographer in here, mate.
He's here in about 25 minutes.
I was gonna say! He's coming in 25 minutes?
We sent trades out in the hallway so we could clean up.
DUNCAN: They gotta do a photo shoot in here in 20 minutes,
so all this flooring has to come up.
(WHISTLES) Come on, boys! Here we go!
We've gotta rev up!
HAYDN: We spent a lot of time cleaning
and getting everything in order.
# Like a lovin' machine... #
We were ready by about 8:45.
# Like a lovin' machine... #
(UPBEAT MUSIC SWELLS)
But we'd been standing around for a little while,
wondering, where... where is the photographer?
So, I believe the...the photographer
is going to be at House Two...
Cool. ..for probably a couple of hours.
He started in House Two and he won't be at ours until 11:00.
(CAMERA CLICKS)
Yeah. So, you've still got, like, an hour and a half.
RICKY: It would be nice to know.
Communication is the key.
Yeah, it's not ideal.
It's the busiest week on The Block
and we've gotta finish that hallway by Thursday,
and at the moment we've pretty much stopped work in there.
So, probably cost us three or four hours, minimum, for multiple guys.
WOMAN: How do you feel about
sharing the resources with House Two?
Mmm. Not sure. (SIGHS)
Sharing's fine, but when you're in a competition...
Look, it is what it is.
As long as their focus is to sell our house for the highest price,
then, you know...it is what it is.
# I'm walking along
# Singing my song
# Following my intuition
# It doesn't need to be a mission
# And if it goes wrong... #
While the photographers are busy downstairs...
If we can get this out and then we've got the whole room...
That's right.
..the girls are upstairs, working on their potentially Block-winning idea.
Well, we're trying to create a guest retreat
and we're wanting that to be, like,
an important part of our, like, our home.
We wanted to have a spiral staircase
going up the side of the house to that guest retreat
so that there could be an external access.
The separate entryway and spiral staircase
is critical for Maddy and Charlotte's grand plan
of a self-contained guest retreat
on the upper level of House One.
The plans originally had a window
where the girls are now wanting to put
their all-important new entryway.
(CHIME SOUNDS)
I'm downstairs, cleaning up,
and I hear someone scream from our scaffold
over to GMac in House Five.
"Hey! Is this a door or a window?
"They're saying it's a door, but there's a window going in."
And then GMac's like, "No, it's a window.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
And I was like, "What?"
And so then I went to see Foreman Dan.
What's up?
We've got a disaster on our hands. What's wrong?
Well, the boys are cladding that window.
That's meant to be a door.
And then...Aidan apparently doesn't know about it,
or something, or I don't know.
It's all in the plans. Come up and we'll have a look.
Can we go and talk to the other boys?
Yep.
'Cause this will be a disaster if it doesn't happen.
And then that's when Dan went to speak to Aidan.
And that's when it started to go downhill.
I guess there was a bit of a miscommunication, it sounded like.
I'm a little bit confused. Yep.
I'll put that out there.
So, a couple of weeks ago, there was some talk about,
you know, spiral stairs and lofts and stuff like that.
Mm-hm?
I'd parked that in my brain,
because I'd asked for some more details...
Mm-hm.
..which, I think, a bit of lost in translation's happened.
Just because you COULD do something also doesn't mean you can.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
The building surveyors aren't, like, aware of this.
This hasn't been checked off.
The plumbers aren't aware of this. The architect's not aware of this.
And we were like, "What?"
'Cause we were told from Dan that that had all got approved
and, like, Julian Brenchley had drawn it on the architect plans
and already submitted it.
Charlotte literally got him to sign this piece of paper and was like,
"Right, I'm taking a picture!"
So then we don't go back on this
and then somebody can't tell me that it didn't get approved,
'cause I was like, "Are you 100% sure?"
And he was like, "Yes, I am 100% sure."
And this is the photo that I got.
It says, "Stairs approved - external. Signed."
(STAMP THUDS)
Well, that hasn't happened.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
From my perspective, like, we've already clad this wall, right?
BOTH: Yeah.
For us to change that to a door,
I have to pull cladding off the wall,
I have to pull battens off the wall,
I have to pull the window out,
then I have to get it made into a door, firstly, right?
So, I don't have budget for that.
It was really frustrating to us
because we had brought up all these issues
way in advance so we could mitigate those costs.
We did not need to pay for the cladding to come off
because we addressed this when the cladding wasn't even on.
My guess is that this is, you know, 20 to 30 grand exercise.
Right.
The other issue I've got is,
we're also gonna have to send that to council, I'd say.
Right.
Because that's a town planning issue.
We'll have four rooms that are compromised
by the fact that this was an oversight.
Need to really think about whether it's worth the effort
and the energy to pursue.
Alright. Thanks, girls.
OK. Thank you for that. Cheers.
Thank you.
Like, I understand it's a huge building site
and things get, like, missed, but, like...
We've asked, like, every single day about this.
And so much time and energy,
that could have been put somewhere else,
has been put into that, and...
I guess we should probably, like, go and tell the boys to stop, then.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
(THUNDER RUMBLES, PENGUINS CALL)
(DRIVING ROCK RHYTHMS)
SCOTTY: The Block Phillip Island is an absolutely enormous building site
with five houses coming together simultaneously.
# You need to be there
# You need to make it right... #
Nine in Six's job is to build all the structures
and handle all the cladding.
# With the love that you give... #
And the girls have just found out
that the separate entry for their guest retreat
has fallen through the cracks.
# The love that you give... #
Obviously, when you're dealing with, like, four different parties,
there's always gonna be a miscommunication
when you're dealing with five building sites all at once.
Thanks, girls. Thank you for that.
Cheers.
If there's no external access,
there's no point doing anything that we're doing up there.
We may as well just scrap the whole thing.
And so much time and energy, that could have been put somewhere else,
has been put into that, and...
I guess we should probably, like, go and tell the boys to stop, then.
(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Howdy. MADDY: Hello!
Um...obviously there's been a bit of confusion.
Yep.
Which, you know, sorry for that, but...it is what it is.
Um, Dan had, you know, approved the stairs with you guys.
So, the stairs, we think we can make work.
(UPBEAT POP MUSIC)
Thankfully, Aidan and the team were very gracious
and they worked out a plan and they came back,
and I think they could see how upset we were by the situation.
And, yeah, it got approved.
You know, it's fair enough that the door is on us
and we'll just have to work out
what to do with the concrete and the...
Yep.
..footing at the bottom of it,
and a bit of liaising we gotta do
with the landscapers with the design with that.
Yep.
So, I think that means we can just move forward.
Sorry for the confusion.
No, that's OK. (LAUGHS) These things happen.
Thank you. We appreciate all that. Cool.
Thank you. No worries. Cheers.
So, we are going ahead with the spiral staircase.
Thank goodness for that,
but that was a very stressful couple of hours.
We can do it. We can do the door?
Yeah.
Oh, hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
# Wish we could turn back time
# To the good old days
# When our mamas sang us to sleep but now we're stressed... #
SCOTTY: After cleaning all night,
Kristian has been flat out all day

# Good old days... #
And Mimi - well...

And the overwhelming task of completing five spaces this week,
as well as the $50,000 Domain challenge on Thursday,

MIMI: Who (BLEEP) did our bed like that?!
KRISTIAN: Me, for the photos.
What's wrong with it?!
That's not how we do it!
Because that's what's gonna be on the listing!
I don't care. I was doing everything all day, and then...
You...and I wasn't doing anything?!
No! I'm just saying, last night, you slept all night!
Yeah, good job.
You're (BLEEP)!
That's what I get after working all day?
I didn't set the bed up properly. Are you serious?
(BLEEP)
Meems?
Mimi?
As if you actually walk in the house like that.
What do you want me to say?
You go to sleep at 9:00 last night,
and all you say, when you walk in the house, is,
"As if you've left the bed like that."
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
Seriously, you slept all night...
Did they take pictures of our bathroom?!
Yeah, look at it! I (BLEEP) cleaned that as well!
What?!
Don't...don't come in here like that!
I didn't get to ask you how your day was.
You (BLEEP) go.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
I don't...care, and I'm not gonna tell you how my day was.
Do better!
Do better? Yeah, YOU do better, sleeping all night!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
So, what are you doing tonight, then?
Are you gonna go sleep again while I (BLEEP) work all night?
Yep.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
(BLEEP)!
Honestly.
