SCOTT CAM: Previously...
This week we are doing the main bedroom and walk-in robe.
And it's a design battle of the curves.
They've got one as well, an arch. Do I even want an arch anymore?
And the fireplaces.
Just found out that House Four is having a fireplace as well.
I don't want to be stock standard. We want to be different.
I thought I was the only person who came up with that idea.
House Three struggled to get materials.
We've been ready to hang sheets. We still have no plasterboard.
There's none out the front of our house.
So all that time we spent getting ahead yesterday
essentially was undone.
CAM: And House One struggled to lock in trades.
Absolutely desperate for plasterers right now.
Approximately 5,500 phone calls.
Just trying to get some plastering done in the Mount Eliza area.
I was ringing New Zealand and the and going,
"Hey, you got any Kiwi plasters?"
KIWI ACCENT: Hey bro, you got any plasters over there, bro?
Oh, you're a bloody legend, mate.
So I organised two different crews of plasterers.
Tonight, while some teams are finally ahead...
So first team painting. Yes.
Well done. Thank you.
..others are falling behind.
We're not finishing.
Yeah. It's just super frustrating.
You'll be alright, mate.
CAM: And one crucial decision brings Tayla unstuck.
I am in so much trouble.
The real estate agent said don't do herringbone.
It's going to lose me The Block. I'm going to lose.
So it's Thursday morning.
I walk out to the breakfast area of our shared house.
Ooh, what's going on? Where'd that come from?
And there's a basket there full of tennis balls.
Hi, Blockheads. Tonight, let's step off-site to reset and recharge.
Bring your sneakers and meet me at
Mount Eliza Tennis Club at 6:10pm.
Yay... Do either of you play tennis?
Neither of us play tennis, so we are totally screwed for
tonight's challenge. And we need money.
You ready to play tennis? I'm not. I think that's terrible.
Challenges in general scare me and annoy me at the same time.
That sucks.
But I was so excited for Tayla because Tayla
was so excited about this challenge.
What!
Yes.
Tayla's excited about toast popping up out of the toaster.
What!
I love tennis, I'm really good at it, too.
I'm so excited.
Good at tennis, Rosco? No. No ball sports for me.
No ball sports. Uh-uh.
What sport do you play without a ball?
Exactly.
This is the attitude of someone who has got zero chance
at winning a game of tennis.
Not good with balls. Not good with balls.
You good at tennis?
Used to be. I used to play tennis when I was younger.
I'm good at table tennis. You don't have to run.
You can just sort of stand there.
You look like a bit of a tennis player, mate.
I love sports, but I don't love running, so hopefully it's some
sort of stand still tennis.
# What you want What you need... #
CAM: This week The Blockheads are tackling their first double room
reveal and it's the most important bedroom in the house.
You spend half your life in bed.
Is it half? A third.
You spend a third of your life in bed.
So you want to be in a nice place. Yeah.
CAM: The uptown house's main bedrooms are located on the top floor.
There are massive 40 square metres, which includes
a spacious walk-in wardrobe.
The downtown house's main bedrooms are located on the ground floor.
There are only 30 square metres with smaller galley style wardrobes.
A lot to do.
I don't know what happened to the first half of the week.
I think... Mrrrr! Reset, midweek.
Go. Thursday. Let's go.
CAM: In house, one married couple Adam and Jolene have fallen behind.
They only managed to lock in plasterers yesterday afternoon
and they've just arrived on site.
Oh, here they are now.
I've got plenty of plasterers now. How many have I got?
Not one, but two different plastering teams.
Nine. Nine plasterers today. I need that long wall set.
It needs to be top coat today and dried 'cause
it's getting rendered tomorrow. Alright.
Stoke that they turn up. I'm thinking, "Right,
put me in the game, coach. We're back on."
House one's ambitious design for their main bedroom incorporates
a recessed arch with built-in side tables.
They'll also include a curved timber wall and a long rendered wall.
The walk-in robe has a built-in make-up vanity
and a storage island with a bench seat.
How much you want to finish? Today I want all the ceiling up.
I need this wall finished because we've got a renderer
coming tomorrow to render this wall, all through here as well.
We've got another four plasterers coming.
Once everyone gets in here, it's going to be busy.
So feeling more confident that we're going to have a crack at finishing.
CAM: And to keep his plasterers pumping...
Can I get ten of your finest, please?
..Adam's grabbed them a bunch of options
from the new McCafe drinks range.
Blue one.
With so many plasterers though on site,
what does it mean for your budget? Out the window?
Our budget is totally out the window.
It jumped out of the window because the house was on fire.
CAM: House One aren't the only team already struggling with their budget.
In House Four, site manager Courtney and interior designer Sev
are also feeling the pinch.
I'm feeling really poor.
Poor. Help me! I'm poor.
CAM: Courtney and Sev!
The girls are currently on a winning streak, but it's come at a cost.
Of their $250,000 budget,
they allocated 30 grand for the first two rooms,
but they spent more than double that, coming in at almost $70,000.
I hate the B word budget.
We did accidentally overspend last week,
like way more than we were hoping to.
So, you know, we're hating on ourselves for that.
But despite their lack of funds, they haven't held back
with their design this week.
The main bedroom includes a coffered ceiling,
custom curved fireplace, carpet inlay, and Grafico on all the walls.
Their walk-in robe design, however, was inherited from
Lisa and Rosco and locked in before they swapped houses last week.
And we're going to... the timber handle.
It includes a small vanity and is finished in a new colour from
Freedom called Savannah Clay.
I do think the judges will need to note that it
wasn't a wardrobe design that was by Sev and Courtney.
It was a wardrobe design by Lisa and Rosco.
Don't put any handles in, guys.
I'm not putting those ones in.
No? No. I'd rather...
Think they got a choice of two. Yeah, I know...
No?
I'm really concerned about our wardrobe.
It's not in alignment to our palette.
Clay is the word for the colour.
Bright pink is how I would describe it.
It somehow gets worse. The choices.
We just found our handles that are going on.
We've got a choice between these big dark walnut ones
or these like copper, pink, rose gold, chunky, shiny things
on our blush pink cupboards.
I'm gonna see if I can get new ones from Freedom.
And if I can't, we'll just have to hand over without handles this week.
Lisa, what were you thinking!
Anyway. Just shake it off.
CAM: Across the road, personal trainer Wyatt is feeling
much better about his wardrobe.
How nice is this walk-in?
Just imagine... sit on a cushion.
House Two's walk-in robe includes open shelving
and a storage island with marble bench top.
Their main bedroom includes a recessed arch above
the bed, similar to their neighbours in House One.
It'll also feature a circular light pendant, and they'll style
with a beige colour palette, but Chantel is still deciding
what to put on this wall.
So for the design in the room, I was in two minds about having
a TV over having artwork.
I just feel like a TV in general is a bit of an eyesore.
Maybe we can put the artwork on that wall,
and that might look really nice.
When you walk in and you see that beautiful artwork.
Aren't we getting a TV from JB? You got JB Hi-Fi gift card.
I know that. Yeah. I think you should get a TV.
If it was up to me, there'd be 100-inch in there on the wall.
TV's everything. It's important.
In previous years,
they get all the wiring done for a TV, but they put artwork
over it to cover it.
So electrical is in there
so if someone wants to put a TV there, they can.
Yeah. Well, that's up to you.
You're the designer.
So we just decided to go...
Well, I just decided to go with a piece of artwork.
(CLASSICAL MUSIC)
I would love a 100 inch. I know you would.
Put the footy on. Put the PlayStation.
Wyatt, if you could design this room, what would it look like?
I'd probably have, like, a PC set up.
I want, like the PlayStation, like recessed in and the Xbox
and all the controllers hanging on the walls.
100 inch TV, probably like a king single.
Just enough to squeeze onto.
Then I'd have, like, a couch with, like, footrest,
and then I'd have heaps of like,
colourful LED lights just to light it up.
So it was like a Christmas tree in there.
Wow. There's a lot of thought that's gone into this,
that went for a long time.
Over in House Five, builder Rick and his daughter Tayla
have yet to deliver a completed room.
There's no slats!
It's the mattress is sitting on books.
This week, things are looking up.
Oh, hello, baby. Put it down.
That's my fireplace.
Thursday. Yeah, in a good spot. Feeling good. Feeling good.
So what's the plan of attack for this morning?
The plan of attack is we're going to get this plastered, get signed off.
Fireplace frame for that. This is my fireplace.
Thanks, Dad. And the Venetian guy starting.
And then flooring is going down tomorrow, so that's going to be fun.
House Five's main bedroom will include oak herringbone floors
and Venetian plaster on all the walls.
It'll also feature a built-in fireplace,
similar to their neighbours in House Four.
The walk-in robe also has an oak finish and a built-in vanity,
and with Rick keeping the build under control, this morning
Tayla is meeting with their real estate agent.
We're talking to Mark from Buxton Real Estate.
So I've locked them in.
Winner of The Block 2025.
Winner of The Block last year, Mark was.
Sold! Congratulations.
You're mad not to engage an agent this far in, you know,
you've got to know if you're heading in the right direction.
Kitchen here? Kitchen here.
And then you've got your living over there.
And I really need all the help I can get.
So what were you doing with flooring all the way through
your kitchen and living zone?
Our floors are herringbone.
Herringbone? Herringbone.
Look, herringbone is nice. It's just...
I think you can get something better and more luxurious
that you'll get a better end product.
You've got to change that, I reckon. It's not going to win you the show.
I know it's last minute, but it's a big decision.
The first thing your head goes to when you walk in is the floor.
I'm like, the flooring is getting delivered in like three hours.
Cray-cray. Can I change... Can I do two things?
Can I do herringbone down there and then up here do tiles.
Can you? Yes. Should you? No.
No. Absolutely not.
He's so against herringbone.
He wants chevron or parquetry.
You could do a parquetry floor.
You could do a chevron. They're still timber floors.
Yes. And they still
work with the heights that you've got there.
But they're a more up-market luxurious feel...
That extra... A little bit more elevated. Yeah.
If you get this stuff right, you can win The Block.
If you don't get it right, you won't win The Block.
I'm freaking out. Why?
'Cause he said...
This won't win you The Block. Yeah, that's what he said.
His negative words because we were
really set on the herringbone.
I'm like well freaking hell, I've got to do something then.
I just want you to get the best outcome you can. That's all I want.
OK. I'm going to go suss that out now.
Yeah. Alright.
Thank you for that huge piece of information.
That would have been really nice earlier.
No, I'm just kidding. It's my fault.
So I get straight on my phone with Flooring Xtra and just
suss out any other options.
Hi, Matt. Um. Quick question.
How hard is it to change the flooring?
I am in so much trouble.
The real estate agent said don't do herringbone.
It's going to lose me The Block. I'm going to lose.
Argh! This sucks.
Everything's so hard!
Alright, Thursday. Is your room on track?
Definitely not on track. No, no.
We're way behind where we were meant to be
and just feeling a bit deflated.
"Previous blocks have had it way harder than you."
"You're the luckiest," I know. I know.
CAM: Lisa and Rosco wardrobe design this week was inherited from
Courtney and Sev.
It features an oak finish, exposed shelving and a storage island.
Their main bedroom includes a curved detail above the bed,
and they're hoping to finish all the walls, ceiling and hallway
with a lime plaster render.
So we want to do this special lime plaster,
which does take a lot of time.
So it means we have to be like plastered,
sanded and undercoated very early.
So the fact that we had a big delay on Tuesday set us back quite a bit.
CAM: House Three's delivery of plasterboard
was delayed by more than half a day.
I want the plaster to be here.
And with thoughts of last week's incomplete bathroom
still fresh in their minds... Wow.
..today they're feeling the pressure.
I had to tell our plasterer that we weren't sanded,
we weren't primed,
and the goal was to be sanded and primed by Wednesday.
We're now going into Thursday,
and we're still not standard or primed.
How are you feeling?
Well, obviously behind where we need to be for our finish.
# A little more time to borrow. #
Our lime plasterer said it would take him two days to apply.
To get the look we wanted, we needed the whole room done.
It's just that time pressure.
So an hour or two away from top coating.
I don't think it will dry today.
It needs to. I can't... Well.
We need to... We need to get two coats on.
You got the southerly breeze, which is cold.
Well, then we're not finishing.
Yeah. Oh, well.
At least we're consistent.
As you saw, we pushed from Monday morning and absolutely
pushed the limit, for our build team, our trades and...
Some things are out of our control unfortunately.
Yeah. You can still finish.
I just think instead of lime wash, paint.
Just paint it white or beige.
We didn't come here to deliver four white walls.
No, that's fair point.
Let's just do everything we can to try and dry it out.
Let's just get heaters in here and see what...
See if we can try and... See where we get to.
You do all the right things.
You do everything you can in order to produce what we need to produce.
But there's that much going on on site that's outside of your control.
It's just super frustrating.
You'll be right, mate.
I just want to get the BLEEP out of here.
At this stage, I'm really concerned because of the lack of progress.
So how are we looking? Do you think?
Yeah (BLEEP). OK.
Yeah.
I think we thought we were gonna, you know,
make miracles unfold here today.
It's just not getting there as quick as we thought we'd get moving.
Didn't help with two crews that were diddle-daddling.
"Oh, there's plenty of us. We don't have to work hard."
Yeah. And Dan came to visit, and you could see he was starting to panic.
Panic button time.
(KLAXON)
Yeah, I am.
I'm looking up now. There's not even ceiling grid there.
There may be ceiling grid. Just.
And what's your stress levels like?
Oh, it's like a Peking duck in boiling water.
(QUACK)
I'm screwed.
(CHORAL MUSIC)
Probably the most stressed I've ever seen you, to be honest.
Really? Yeah.
How does it feel for you to watch your husband looking
and feeling that way?
He needs to suck it up.
She doesn't care.
No, he needs to suck it up because I know what he can do.
So just get on with it.
# Sunny days It's such a pretty place
# I see your smiling face
# Woke up but now I think I'm dreaming #
While our Blockheads need to manage this week's rooms,
planning for the coming weeks is also crucial,
especially when it comes to landscaping.
Well, we got the pool. Week ten.
I'm not really sure. Front yard and back yard.
You need to actually start planning ahead for our landscaping.
So when I choose AI mode in Google search and took a photo
of our little... What do you call that area?
That back terrace area. Back, terracey...
Back-side-backyard part.
So I'm taking a photo.
Turn this into...
Minimalist, quiet luxury!
..back yard.
And it generates what you could do in the space. Oh, wow.
Oh, wow. It's actually really cool.
Damn.
They come up with some really cool ideas.
So we're thinking of maybe going down the path of a like sauna,
spa, outdoor shower, wellness sort of area out there.
We need more budget.
The pool's not going back here, but maybe
we should put it here. That's actually really cool.
That's really nice.
Oh, so much going on!
Just had a visit from Mark, Buxton Real Estate.
Has said that our floors are (BLEEP).
And we've ordered herringbone floors, oak wood.
And he wants us to do something different.
I actually still have a pain here.
I've got a fully tight chest,
but I reckon Mark gave me
a bit of anxiety or something.
Where are you going?
I'm going to Flooring Xtra just to have a look at other options.
So I went to Flooring Xtra, but already on the way there
I had a phone call with Flick, my best friend.
She's a real estate agent.
My floors are getting delivered tomorrow and he's saying
no, no, no, no, you could potentially lose The Block.
But these floors...
They're a timeless flooring. What is he saying...
He's saying... He's saying go for the Chevron
or the other one that looks very similar.
But he's saying no herringbone.
But he's making it a huge deal and I'm freaking out.
You cannot say that someone prefers chevron over herringbone
when they're exactly the same.
Literally. Do I just keep it?
Keep the herringbone. It's a beautiful flooring.
I've asked quite a few people. They love herringbone.
I went to Flooring Xtra and just suss out any other options.
This is Chevron.
Oh! They're smaller panels. Shit, that looks really good.
Is the herringbone here? Yeah.
So to do something like this, herringbone?
That's more straightforward.
Straightforward rather than the chevron.
Because they're individual planks, it's easier to install. Yeah.
Whereas this one, because they're panels, you need to
make sure that they...
Align. Yep.
It's pointed and you have to wait till it dries.
And physically no step on. Yeah. It's not going to work.
No thanks, Mark. It's a no-go. We're keeping the herringbone.
I'm happy with my choices.
So, thank you, but no thanks. Thanks, Mark. Love you.
Stay as our agent. Sell our freaking house.
But just don't tell me about your bloody floorboards anymore.
# Woah-oh #
Lisa, you've got a top secret appointment.
Yes. This was definitely, like, the highlight of my morning.
Is Lisa around? Yeah, she should be back soon.
She just had to go for a... She just had to go for a scan.
Scan?
Yeah, yeah, a little bit of...
a surprise.
Oh.
Awesome.
Yeah. So the appointment I had today was a dating scan to see how
far along we were in our pregnancy.
Hi, honey. How'd you go?
So we're actually ten weeks.
Nearly 11. What?
We thought we were a bit earlier on than we actually are.
Yeah. Instead of seven weeks, we're actually ten weeks and six days.
So, yeah, that was very shocking.
Did it look as weird as Lando? Like an alien?
It just looked like a little jelly bean, but you could see its heart.
Oh. Jelly bean.
It's a bit sooner than we sort of were thinking about it, but yeah,
it's not really sure how it happened.
Obviously we know how it happened, but I'm not 100% on the timing.
But anyway yeah. I'm stoked.
Give Lando a sibling, which would be amazing.
We said we should probably get to it like later this year.
So in true Ros and Lisa style, we've just come a bit early.
Yeah.
# Three Oh, it's the magic number #
I'm gonna be a fa... No.
Again.
Poor kid.
# A man and a woman... #
I'm happy again. I'm very excited to share with Dan that we are now
in The Block baby team.
Especially knowing that his wife is pregnant and he's expecting soon.
So we actually officially have three members in our team.
So we've been cheating. Oh, well done!
We've cheating the last three weeks. That is awesome.
We've had six hands instead of four.
And we still can't finish!
Yeah, yeah.
Well, we're both gonna have babies in 26.
I know!
They'll be the same age. Look out! That's awesome.
But it also means I'm highly hormonal.
OK. Yeah! Hence the tears.
She doesn't normally cry. Yeah.
# Just let her cry
# If the tears fall down like rain... #
Here we go!
That's amazing news.
Is this adding another driving factor for you guys to do well?
Yeah. It's doubled the reasons.
Everything we do will be for our children.
So yeah. Always.
I'm stoked. Yeah. So happy.
It's good to know everything's still working. So it's good.
Too well almost. Yeah.
Doctor at one point was like there could be two in there.
There's not. Oh!
Thanks, guys.
See ya. Enjoy tonight.
Pretty much tools down.
We get a group chat saying there's going to be some outfits
that we have to pick them up.
We are to meet at the tennis court. For this week's challenge.
What's happening? Well, my pants didn't fit.
They gave me size medium pants. Size medium.
Have you seen these legs?
They got me medium. I think it was on purpose.
Do you want me to put some Dencorub on you?
I will need. I'm going to get chaffed in a minute.
You didn't think to put, like, a different pair of pants on?
CAM: After Wyatt locates some bigger pants,
I've asked the Blockheads to suit up and meet me at
the Mount Eliza Tennis Club.
It was raining. It was freezing.
We were all wearing white little outfits.
It was going to be a wet T-shirt competition.
Oh, you all look fabulous! Tell you what!
I would like to have some conversations with wardrobe
about those tennis skirts.
At least tell us you're going to put us in white
so I don't wear a black G-string to work? You know what I mean?
CAM: Welcome to Mount Eliza Tennis Club.
What a magnificent night we've put on, too.
This is sponsored by Nature's Way.
And this is nature's way! You must be freezing.
Marion from Chemist Warehouse has been watching you guys
for the last couple of weeks.
Working so hard. Even too hard, don't you think?
That's right, Scotty. It's been all work, no play.
So I think it's time to clear our minds with some healthy competition.
I'm so happy to play tennis.
Before arriving to The Block, I played tri-weekly.
I love it. I'm gonna fricking blow everyone out of the water.
CAM: Before we get going, I do have to address something else.
Lisa, Rosco, have I been hearing a whisper of some sort?
Yeah, we... Oh, yeah.
We actually have been cheating this whole time,
and we wanted to come clean.
We have a third member.
(CHEERING)
Lisa and Rosco are having a baby!
Mummy and daddy number two. I'm so happy for them.
I can't believe it.
Apparently she's about ten weeks or something.
Oh, my gosh, I love being a part of this.
40. Week 40?
What?
Yeah. She's got ages.
It was really special.
Everyone ran in and hugged us,
and it's nice to feel a bit of warmth for a couple of seconds.
Yeah, we all hugged like penguins, it was nice.
OK, congratulations. Thank you.
That is very exciting news. Another Block baby.
This is why we are going to make this short and sweet, right?
It is one point slam time.
So what are you going to do is go head-to-head. You're going to serve,
there's going to be a rally. And if you lose, you're out.
And if you win, you stay. OK.
OK, gang. The last team to be standing on the court as the winner
will get a cool 5,000 bucks cash, thanks to Nature's Way.
(CHEERING)
I thought it was going to be more than that.
Yeah. I was excited for more 'cause I'm gonna win.
We had to pull a number out of a jar. One.
So whoever got the matching numbers had to play against each other.
Ah! Got my finger stuck.
So I pulled out number one, and so did Adam and Jolene.
So we were up against them straight off the bat.
Is it one on one? Let's go.
I don't know if I can hit it that far anyway!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
CAM: You win!
Fortunately, we were out on the one point slam.
I don't think we kind of had our game plan down.
I didn't even get to hit the ball.
Don't look at me like that.
I don't think you realised what to do.
CAM: House One is still in the running.
Next they'll take on Courtney and Sev.
Alright, get ready, girls. Here it comes.
How competitive are you guys, would you say?
Not very competitive.
I'm not very competitive.
I would stand on people's skulls to get to the golden Cup.
Wow. Is that competitive?
Here it comes.
Winner!
We win our round.
And then Tayla and Rick, we come up against them.
I can't wait to show everyone up. Yeah.
Here we go.
Yes.
So we're up against Rosco and Lisa. Easy beats.
Grand final. That was quick.
Wait. I don't want to be opposite Tayla!
What's going through your head?
Well, let's get this over with. Yeah. Let's get out of this cold.
Give Tayla her crown and let's get this over with.
Lisa is with child. Are you gonna go easy on her today?
No. No. Bring it on.
Oh, here we go.
# Some things are worth fighting for #
(PEOPLE SHOUTING)
Oh!
Uh-oh! Uh-oh!
That's the win!
The ball didn't come back, and we just started screaming,
and then only became aware later
that Rick bloody fell over. We didn't even see that.
Well, I don't think he fell over.
I think he got the ball belted into him that hard that he fell over.
In our hearts we won, but we didn't win because my poor dad
tripped over the ball.
That was like my challenge.
I know. It was the worst moment ever.
Dad!
Are you alright?
It was embarrassing.
Anyway, lost five grand.
Congratulations.
Yes. Well done.
Come on!
Well done, everybody. That was fantastic.
No, that was a major fluke. That was a fluke.
Couldn't replicate that if you offered me $10 million. Um...
I don't know what came over me. Oh, well done. Well done.
# I think that I'll keep loving you way past 65
# We made a language for us two
# We don't need to describe
# Every time you call on me, I drop what I do #
Oh, hi. Hey.
Phone. How many missed calls?
What? No one.
Friday's good. In a good spot. Plasterers are pushing through.
Venetian's looking sexy. Coat two today.
Coat two. And they're gonna start waxing. So, yeah.
Again, still in a great position, I feel, on a Friday.
Probably the best we've been. Yeah. Ever.
Thank gosh.
Hello. Hello.
Hi, Scotty.
I love the floor. I think it's fantastic.
But?
There's a but.
There is a but, Scott. What is it?
Our real estate agent, Mark Nunn from Buxton.
He was really not on board with our herringbone floorboard.
What was he suggesting otherwise?
Oh, parquetry. And chevron.
Chevron. Oh, don't be silly.
That's literally what he said. That's just too particular.
Said it's not going to win The Block.
Yeah. He said this could be a huge decider of a winning house.
And you know, coming...
Shell is a real estate connoisseur and expert.
That's not true, is it? Well, no, I would have said
that was a very luxurious finish.
Don't worry about that. Herringbone flooring in the oak that you've got,
That's magnificent. Thank you.
No one's not gonna like that.
CAM: The oak herringbone floor
features in their main bedroom this week,
which also includes a built-in fireplace and Venetian plaster
on all the walls and the ceiling.
Their walk-in robe also has an oak finish and heaps of natural light.
I know the judges are loving what they see.
They just need a little bit extra from you,
Tayla, in your styling. More layering, more luxury.
But you're going to have to plan better because
we've seen you guys come unstuck.
The fact you haven't finished the last two rooms for no other
reason than you're trying to do all the work yourself,
and it's not possible on The Block.
No, I understand. Yeah. But look, I think we're in a probably
the best start we've had in three weeks to where we are today.
So I'm just feeling a little bit, a little bit confident that
we will get this finished.
Hey, we've got to go and move on.
But we've got a present for you for a Ryobi.
I love Ryobi!
Up in the garage.
Want to come with us? Yeah.
Oh, look at this! Wow!
We know how hard it is to keep your place clean.
So this is the Ryobi One Plus cordless cleaning range,
and it's got everything you need to keep your joint clean.
Is everyone getting one of these today?
Everyone gets one of these today.
Thanks, Ryobi. Thank you!
Scotty and Shelley.
They come around today and we show them where we're at
with our walk-in wardrobe.
Oh!
I like this. I like this colour.
House Two's nassive walk-in robe includes open shelves
and a marble bench.
The main bedroom is all about curves and will be styled with
a beige colour palette.
I love the arch. Yeah. That's lovely. That's lovely.
Oh, another arch. And another curve.
Yes. Oh, what's going on over here please?
Well, so the TV. Well, normally that's where TV would sit.
I'm gonna do all the points for a TV, but put some artwork over.
And, yes, we have this beautiful arch here.
I've got a bedhead that goes from wall to wall.
Did I see a super king downstairs? You did. You did see a super king.
What's a super king? Super king mattress.
What? Bigger? Bigger than a king.
We are going super king! You mean I've been outmatressed?
Snooze, I'll be giving you a call shortly.
Oh, Scotty's a little jealous, I think,
because he didn't even know there was such a thing as a super king.
What are you taking from the judges feedback in your first bedroom
that you're now doing in here?
This would be Mount Eliza 35 years ago.
I personally love this style of panelling in a Victorian home,
but not here.
So I mean, my style is old luxury.
So we're trying to implement new luxury now.
So a little bit more modern.
We're really trying to take on the judges feedback,
and just get better and better each week.
I'm trying really hard this week to implement new ideas
and more textures, more elements,
more marble and curves and things
that are really going to wow the judges.
Hello, girls. Ladies, ladies.
We know you love cleaning, so we've brought you a little gift.
That's lot more in the garage. Oh, great.
Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome.
Scotty and Shelley. Scotty talks to me about my pink wig.
I noticed you've got your hair has changed.
You've changed your colour.
I have. So today I woke up and I decided to...
Match the wardrobe.
Match the wardrobe and also our house colour.
So she's pink.
No, I wear wigs Scotty because I've got a hair thinning issue.
And also alopecia.
I am a woman of many wigs and also many personalities.
No, I'm kidding. Personality doesn't change, but the wigs do change.
I'm fully aware that I've got a condition.
It's probably just going to get worse.
So I've got a couple of little bald spots coming through.
So it just gives me so much freedom.
And I hope that women can be more comfortable with that whole
hair thinning stigma to the side.
Oh, it happens to so many women. Yeah.
It is something that isn't spoken about a lot.
And a lot of people don't know Sev wears wigs,
so I think this is going to be the first time people are, "Oh?"
And so how many wigs do you have?
I have bought six with me. For me, I just find my confidence through,
yeah, different wigs, being creative.
You know, I wear different outfits to suit different hairstyles.
You look magnificent. Oh, thank you.
Some people think I've been bludging and spending
a lot of time at a salon.
Yeah, a couple of double looks.
A lot of compliments, which is great.
A lot of people love pink, apparently.
Maybe people will love our wardrobe, I don't know.
The girls are still unsure about the Savannah clay coloured wardrobes
in their walk-in robe, a design choice they inherited
from Lisa and Rosco.
The main bedroom, however, is all them,
and includes a coffered ceiling,
curved fireplace and an upholstered bedhead
they're making themselves.
I don't think I can ever question what you girls are capable of
after what I saw last Friday and what I've just walked past now.
A completed bathroom? Yeah.
How you did that is beyond me. But congratulations.
And then take out the win. Yeah, we had a great team.
What did you end up spending on that one?
A lot.
I'll tell you. You spent 52 grand and you were six over last week,
so you're 38,000 over. Yeah.
I need to be in week six so we can
stop hearing about week two's budget.
I think for us the big goals were get the house,
get the kitchen package.
And now we have to scale back. Scale back.
So your spending days are done? Ish.
I like spending money just because this calibre of
house in Mount Eliza, it has a standard that we need to hit.
I've seen the neighbours.
# Money, money... #
There is cash all around us. A lot of cash.
And there's some amazing properties.
And yeah, like you just want to stack up.
It comes with money.
I love this.
Very good. The fireplace.
And I love your detail in the ceiling as well. With the curves.
And the layout. The layout.
Yes. I reckon you could... You could win it.
We'll see. Fingers crossed.
Walk-arounds was a little bit more positive this week
than it has been the previous week.
It was the most positive one out of the last three.
So I hope that's good luck, you know, because the...
Or maybe it's bad luck because usually they rip us...
I know. ..and we win.
I know. So that's why I'm a bit concerned
about the good feedback.
We'll see. Now the pressure's on.
(DANCE MUSIC)
Where's your head at?
Where your head at! I don't know.
I left it back in the titanium this morning.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
So I'm not using my head today.
I'm just going for it.
We are pretty deflated, I think, coming into Friday.
I'm definitely worried that we are not going to complete
the rooms this week.
You know, the bulkhead for the wardrobe hasn't been built.
The ceiling hasn't been finished.
This is what happens when you bite off more than you can chew.
CAM: House One's walk-in wardrobe includes a marble storage island
with a bench seat.
In the main bedroom, there's a rendered feature wall,
curved timber detail and a recessed arch above the bed.
So yeah, Scotty and Shell came around.
Oh, you've got so much going on.
I like it, curved and deep. And they're your bedside?
JOLENE: Bedside.
Built-in, Shell. OK. Yeah, that's cool.
Nice stone going. on top of them.
Yes. You've got the curve happening here.
What have you got going on that? Just there, mate.
Timber's going up around the curve there.
Like a little shiplap that's got a shadow in between?
So much that it pulls in with the wardrobe.
Looks like Tassie oak or mountain ash or something like that.
Gee, we've seen some really different wall finishes.
Yeah. This week.
I think the fact that you've gone so natural,
which I'm a little bit worried about.
Yeah, it might be a little bit too earthy.
For Eliza? For Mount Eliza.
But that just means that everything else needs to be lux.
So then this reflects that.
Yeah. I don't think Shelley was sold on the feature wall.
I don't think she saw the vision. Mmm.
Scotty was a bit more interested in it, though.
I like this wall and I like this curve.
I think it'll soften it down.
I like that curve. And I like the built-in bedsides.
It's unusual.
If you finish, you'll be there. Yeah.
We are stepping it up this week as far as our design.
Whether or not we'll finish is a different story.
Look, you've certainly got the... The elements are here.
Absolutely. Yeah.
The first week we played it safe, we got it done.
Second week we thought we'd done enough, but no.
This week we just sort of went for it, didn't we?
Will it pay off? We'll wait and see.
Mm-hm.
So Friday morning rolls around.
So we had a really good chat with James, who's our lime plasterer.
Um, and he's confident he can get done the main bedroom,
including the ceiling, and the hallway wall by Saturday.
Oh, g'day, Rosco. Hey, how are you going?
Welcome. I like the rolls.
I tell you what, your plasterers I can see already have done
an absolutely outstanding job.
And I'm not saying that because they're in the room right now.
House Three's entire main bedroom will have a lime plaster finish,
and they're including a curved detail above the bed.
Their walk-in wardrobe features open shelving and storage island
with marble bench top.
LISA: We're a long way behind where we should have been,
so we're putting pressure on our trades.
Ros might be on the trail. Yeah.
No!
Not with your bumbag. That looks... Like that?
Tool belt. (LAUGHTER)
It's very attractive.
Yeah. Thanks. Congrats on the mad win yesterday.
That was a crazy afternoon.
That was a fluke.
You are the worst tennis players to have won a tournament
I've ever seen in my life.
You can't argue with results.
It doesn't matter how you win the money as long as you're winning.
I think we got lucky. We'll say that, I don't think...
No (BLEEP), Sherlock. You got lucky!
You sort of challenge masters really.
You took out the Peninsula Springs when the snooker.
I think they've won the most money, haven't you?
We have. Yeah, we have.
We haven't even finished a room yet.
OK. Is that playing on your mind?
Yeah, a little bit. Yeah.
We did come here to finish a room. So this is our week!
We deserve the win this week. More chance this week...
I believe we've done enough... ..than ever before.
Yeah, I believe we've done enough to get the win.
Yeah.
Hello. How are we? Happy Friday.
So I thought I would head down to the mini Bunnings store.
You're on the sausages? Yeah.
Love that.
There's a sausage 'shizzle' happening.
A what? A sausage shizzle.
A sizzle sausage. Are you hearing it too?
I'm hearing it too. What is it?
Can I not say sausage? Sh... You're sort of...sh.
Oh, I'm sorry, Australia, that I can't speak properly.
We got some Friday fun.
Now, every Friday at the Bunnings Nursery we're going to be doing
the sizzle and score.
It's brought to you by Northcote Pottery and Southern Plants.
Yes. Now we came up with this idea yesterday.
Why? Why?
Because we know that you are seriously starting to stress about
your landscaping, aren't you?
Top of mind. So each team has got three balls and you've got to
throw them and land them in the pot.
If you get number eight, and you win, you get eight pots and eight plants.
But we have to play a game with some balls.
There's sausage and balls at this place.
And...
This is a PG-rated show!
Keep the innuendos to a minimum.
So now we have to throw balls in a hole!
I've never been good at this sort of stuff.
Safe to say I rimmed a few.
That's what's called in the game, a doughnut.
(CHEERS)
I had a little inkling that I was going to be good at this
because like I'm really good at aiming.
I have the carpenters eye, if you will.
Ooh! I got zero in the hole.
I got nothing, we got nothing. Sorry.
'Cause I let the team down.
Oh!
(GROANS)
And I get one six and miss the other two.
It was fun.
I actually didn't get it in any pots.
Oh! Fun you can do next week.
Toss some balls. Yeah.
The winners!
I won the game, so I got the highest number.
Choose ten pots and ten plants.
This is going to be happening once a week.
So I think by the end of the nine weeks we'll have 90 pot plants.
# I wish that I could change the weather
# Enjoy the sound of silence in my car
# There's things I just can't hate forever
# I found a crowded place to fall apart. #
Hello. Welcome.
Do you feel very special?
Why? What do you mean? I always feel special.
Do you feel extra special? Yeah, yeah.
Oh. You do? Yeah. Why?
Because you're going to be the first team to start painting.
Yes!
I was kind of surprised to hear that we're the first to start painting.
But I do feel good knowing that we're ahead of everyone else,
because we must be doing something right.
So, first team painting?
Yes. Well done, mate.
Thank you. And how much do you love painting?
I hate it, it's probably like a one out of ten.
I suck at painting.
You know, I don't like doing things that I suck at.
Is that enough for two coats in the whole room?
I don't know, because I feel like I always underestimate
how much paint we actually need.
You know? Yeah.
I'm like, you got to do a whole main bedroom,
the hallway to the walk in.
You just get overwhelmed with the amount of painting.
CAM: Because most teams have quite a bit of painting to do this week,
I've decided to extend their time on site
by three hours tonight and tomorrow night
to help them get it done.
We're not going too bad, like, we're a lot better than I thought.
Feeling slightly more confident.
And the fact that we've got three hours additional,
we're like, OK, we can do this.
Just putting a seal on the back of these timbers.
Oop. So that we can, uh, put them in, in the morning.
Timber curved wall.
What do you think the judges are going to say about it?
Oh, I don't know.
I think they're going to like that
there's some point of difference from first and second week,
but I do worry that it's going to be a little dark and they're going to
be like, oh, here's the country bumpkins coming out to play.
We're probably ready for our weekly fight, aren't we?
You ready? You want it on now? Bring it on, bruz.
What have you done today?
Oh yeah. You want to go there?
So the fireplace structure is not entirely complete.
We need to still find a solution for the plinth of the fireplace,
because we have no money to do what we want.
And so I say to Courtney, I'm going to get some tiles
and I'm gonna have a crack at tiling.
CAM: Sev's plan is to cover
the bottom of their curved fireplace
with a small mosaic tile.
My tiling skills, large format,
I would say I'm a good seven and a half out of ten, I reckon.
What I am a bit worried about
is the curves that I put on this plinth.
The amount of grouting and prep work that the curves will take.
That bit I'm feeling very anxious about.
I'm gonna go and try and rely on some Cursio brothers wisdom.
I don't know if I have to ask why Wyatt and Chantel
for permission for that one, though.
What house do the Cursio brothers work for?
Cursio brothers work for House Two, baby.
Have they only been working for House Two?
No. We lent the Cursio brothers to House Four the other week.
We did.
And it turned out that they ended up winning that week.
It's Courtney and Sev.
So we discussed after that we're not lending the trade anymore.
Yeah.
We're being called upon again for a bit of help
and advice... Only advice. No hands.
..on how to do some tiling and stuff like that.
Far out.
I don't think it's a good idea after last week.
No lending of trades.
No, no. We'll go and tell him.
You should have just Google AI-ed it.
But I just thought there's an amazing resource there
and I might as well just utilise them.
You can't go in and look at it.
You have to explain it from outside. OK.
We'll meet in the street. Common ground.
Giving us boundaries. Good idea. Let's go.
No going into House Four. Can't go in to the enemy's house.
No way.
Hello, Sev, Courtney.
They're not mosaics.
They are not tiles for a novice. Let me tell you.
They are not mosaics. But...
Hang on, they're marble mosaics.
You've got to make sure you use the right adhesion for that.
Why are you so dramatic?
Because that's how we roll. Easy-peasy.
Five-minute tutorial. Let's bang this (BLEEP) out.
Alright. Are these being pre-sealed? Yeah.
Actually, what cutting disc do you have here?
You have a cutting disc?
Well, I'm here for all this information.
OK. So what disc do I need?
How do I clamp the tile? How do I cut it?
Yep. Well, the best way I've found is put tape.
Yeah. Like masking tape. Masking tape.
. Mark it on the masking tape rather than marking on the back.
Mark it on the front.
Hold it down flat on a P with a piece of timber or something
so they don't move around.
I was able to get a few tips and tricks out of them,
which was good.
Sounds good. Thank you so much.
Whose time is this on? The girls paying for this or...?
Daniel, shut up!
So the invoice will come tonight. House Four.
Three box of cannoli.
We spent all of five minutes.
Three boxes of cannoli.
This is why we're over budget.
What happened to let's help one another?
Let's build each other up.
Everything comes with a cannoli price.
We gave Sev a couple tips, but we didn't give 'em every single tip.
We gave 'em the basics.
And what she's doing at the moment is not basic.
Marble mosaics is actually pretty high up there.
It's like a surgeon giving us directions on how to
operate on somebody. We don't know how to do it...
Tell us when our hands might not be capable.
It might not work. So, hopefully she doesn't flatline the patient.
They're still resulting with some chips.
She seemed confident, though. She did.
Didn't seem like she was out of her depth,
but I'd love to see the final result.
CAM: Sunday night...
The tiling on this, it looks like it's on the piss.
It's terrible.
Tiling isn't the only challenge facing House Four.
Looks like something's happened to the framework behind this fireplace.
Now we have to rip the wall down.
So we're freaking out at this point.
We need to stop these girls from winning every week.
Seriously, this is the week.
Please, please.
CAM: Also, tensions rise in House One.
So he's ringing me going...
Hey, how far away are you, darling?
How did I react? Not good.
Hmm.
Little cranky, maybe. Mm-hm.
By all means, you can go shopping next week
and you can see how it is.
Wow.
CAM: But when the judges arrive...
I want to dive on that bed.
..five stunning main bedrooms will be revealed.
This is exactly what we're after.
They have a winning house.
