company. Enjoy your
Wow!
It was main bedroom and walk-in robe week.
Main bedroom.
Huge week.
This is really exciting.
It's minimalist, but it's architectural.
It's not overdone.
They need to know that they have 100% nailed this.
But it wasn't all praise.
'What went wrong?' is the question.
Yeah. Lots of issues this week.
The tiling on this. I mean, it looks like it's on the piss.
The whole room is off.
But I just don't think their vision is right this week.
The positive feedback was welcoming for Lisa and Rosco.
It absolutely ticks the description of quiet luxury.
I love it. Bloody beautiful is what it is.
It's hard to fault.
And they secured their first win.
It's Lisa and Rosco.
We won! We won.
What the hell? We won.
Tonight, the Blockheads are attacking their main ensuite.
Doing this bathroom this week.
The goal is not to be complacent.
It's their second bathroom in four weeks.
Yeah.
Have they learned anything from past mistakes?
See, for me, the lessons last time in the bathroom was
we left the plastering too late.
I'm going to try my best to get the plastering done
for the waterproofing.
How are we going in that room?
Not overly good.
We are already a day behind.
We're going into this week with no waterproofers.
No, we need waterproofing tomorrow.
Just like a recipe for disaster.
Not finishing one bathroom and not to finish another
is just going to be so embarrassing.
I just can't see how I'm going to execute this bathroom.
No, no, no, no, don't do that, but...
It's OK.
On to Monday. Do we need to get you, like, an energy drink?
Right. I'm on.
It's the beginning of week four on The Block,
as main ensuite and supplies are already arriving.
So that's the paperwork for your cistern.
Oh, yep, yep, yep. And then the remainder of the stuff
is coming tomorrow. Tomorrow. Yes. All your...
Our toilet and bathroom stuff ensuite stuff from Reece.
Thank you.
You got that one? Yeah.
Charlie. Charlie.
Coming into this week, we had been ringing tilers
They just were not available. Not interested.
So I decided to reach out to our real estate agent
and just see if she had any contacts.
Um... Turns out she does.
Hey, Matt. How are you, mate?
Good. Thank you.
Hey, mate. You do the waterproofing too, don't you?
Yeah, yeah. We do. You do everything.
Alright, so you got all that formwork through,
all those forms?
Yeah. I'm just sending right now.
Oh, you're bloody legend, mate.
Having that tiler on board is just this big relief.
See you about 12:30.
Yeah. See you then.
Alright. See you, buddy. Alright.
Domain open for inspection. Let's go.
Our Blockheads are starting off this week's Domain open for inspections
with the team that came in last place,
which was Courtney and Sev with 17 points.
('THE FUNERAL PARTY' BY THE CURE PLAYS)
I think falling from grace is one thing,
but the type of comments we received were pretty, uh, pretty brutal.
I feel like bodies need to be laid to rest on that bed.
We're in a coffin.
We're in a high-end coffin.
Ohh, no! What?
It is funeral vibes.
It was a little cold.
It feels like a bat cave.
Dracula's dungeon.
It'd be a really nice place to...
..die!
The coffer ceiling is... Coffin ceiling?
Yes. Pretty much.
What was wrong with the ceiling?
Step forward and look at the line of this.
The drop ceiling with the circle in it.
It just was poorly executed.
This is very beautiful. I'm not mad about those tiles at all.
I freaking love that.
I loved her fireplace.
I really loved her DIY mosaic tiles.
How DARE they speak so rudely?
Look at the edges of these tiles.
It's terrible.
(CHUCKLES) Oh no, that's a redo.
That is a redo.
The finishings are pretty, pretty rough.
Yeah.
I can't believe they did that themselves though.
I sort of like it.
Just what she created there with the fireplace, that looks divine.
That is gorgeous.
I just didn't like the bedhead.
I feel like the bedroom was very masculine.
The walk-in robe was very feminine.
I see what they mean about the wardrobes now.
Tell you what, it's a bit narrow.
Their walk-in robes are so tight.
Also, you know Lisa and Rosco designed their wardrobe
because they swapped houses.
We chose this. Yeah, we did.
That's nice, isn't it?
That is nice. That's luxe.
That definitely let them down as well.
To me personally, I wouldn't come into this bat cave and do my makeup.
Yeah.
It's still a beautiful room.
House Five, Rick and Tayla, came in fourth with 22 points.
Oh, wow. That is a high ceiling if I've ever seen one.
I really like it. It's very sleek.
Yeah.
Even though that their walk-in robe is quite small,
I think she really thought about the design.
And this is nice. Look at this.
I get what they say about looking at the painting, though.
Big pieces of art like this, they're not well served by hallways
because you can't step back enough to really appreciate it.
I wish I could step back about two metres and look at it. Whoa!
Something's not quite tying in.
I can't put my finger on it.
Unfortunately, the styling does let it down.
They're the wrong bedside lamps and the wrong bedside tables.
And the double pendants over almost the identical lamps
is just throwing everything at it.
Everything's nice that they've chosen, but I think
it just doesn't go together.
Did you see the curtains, Adam?
Ha! What have they done?
(LAUGHS) Oh, she's so funny.
Mate, where's the rest of your pants gone?
Well done, guys, this is beautiful. Stunning.
Well done, well done. No door handle.
I went to pull the door.
Ooh. This wall!
That's actually really cool.
I wonder how much this set 'em back.
Yeah, I love that.
How did they do that?
Crushed rock whatever what was.
Magnificent. Divine.
Wow.
I love how it gives that feeling of like a rammed earth wall.
Yes, exactly.
That's why I love it.
I just want to touch it and lick it.
The teams are heading into Adam and Jolene's master suite,
which scored them a reasonable 25 points.
We are tied with Jolene and Adam.
Their bedroom, I think the judges were right
in saying that it was overstyled a little bit.
But it's stunning. I think it's really beautiful.
But I just feel there's so much...
Like from this mark, it's just like, boom!
It does feel squishy. Too much is happening.
Yeah.
Definitely needs a bit of editing.
There was just lots of little bits everywhere.
I'd almost just be inclined to lose some of like, the books
and just some of the decor and it would be...
..pretty nice.
Chantel and Wyatt came in equal second with House One on 25 points.
Ooh! Wow.
That's beautiful. Very luxe. Very luxe. Yeah.
This colour's beautiful. It is beautiful.
I don't like the knobs.
Oh, they could change them to leather, perhaps.
Oh, that's what he said. Yeah.
A better, more contemporary handle would elevate this
in a more contemporary direction.
Chantel has some great styling techniques
that I'm seeing coming through, and it's putting me on my feet.
This is really exciting.
It's minimalist, but it's architectural.
It's not overdone.
They need to know that they have 100% nailed this.
I'm going to take on this minimal style because clearly
I'm doing something wrong.
Her styling is so on point
and I need to take a leaf
out of her book.
Look at that. That's just beautiful.
Loved their bedroom. Yeah.
Loved that.
They've got a style that they're sticking with.
Yep.
That's a big bed.
That's an under 40s bed.
The bed's very low to the ground.
You better be careful not to fall off this one.
So far to the ground. Oh!
Look out! I'm coming, I'm falling! Oh, I'm there already.
PRODUCER: What feedback did you get on your house
from the other contestants?
No one said anything to us. Probably a bad sign.
And the winners from last week were Lisa and Rosco,
who scored an impressive 27 points from the judges.
Wait, whose... Oh, this is the winning house.
I do love that.
It's got the carpet.
It's got the art, the make up space, the natural light.
And guess who designed it?
Not them.
The GIRLS designed this.
Oh! What a gift.
Oh, there's my wardrobe that I'm so devastated about.
It was lovely to go in and see the wardrobe
that we obviously went ahead and designed in week one.
She's pretty. She's pretty.
I think Court and Sev's walk-in robe in House Three
definitely put Lisa in Rosco over the line to win.
You're welcome, Lisa and Rosco.
Yeah, I like it. It's very calming.
The only thing is, for me, it's just a little beige.
I still prefer the curtains up like that.
Look, I didn't walk in and go, wow, this is my favourite room
of all time. Definitely not.
I don't know how I feel about that detail.
You can see the jaggedness.
Yeah, you can.
There's a bit of a... (WHISTLES)
Oh, I can see it. Yeah.
Good job. My favourite detail is the wardrobe.
I don't think I believe that they would have won that room
if it wasn't for the wardrobe.
I like Wyatt's and Chantel's better.
We definitely should have won this week.
We should have won, 100%.
Best bedroom on The Block.
Best bedroom on The Block ever in the history of The Block.
This week we really need to deliver a completed bathroom
after our last debacle a couple of weeks ago.
This is bad. This has been thrown in.
They've been laid too flat, so it will pool and hold water.
Rip it all up? Yeah.
We're a no go. We're done.
We're going into this week with no waterproof.
(LINE BUZZES)
Trying to get someone last-minute,
it's just like a recipe for disaster.
Oh, no. We need waterproofing tomorrow afternoon.
If there's no waterproofing, there's no tiling, there's no bathroom.
What we do here is we we push really hard and we see how we go.
We see where we get to.
(MAN LAUGHS)
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Still to come...
Wow, this is amazing.
..Rosco explores a new side of himself.
# Fruity, fruity, fruity, fruit... #
I quickly forget about my stress at The Block
when you've got girls pants on.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)
SCOTTY: It's main ensuite week.
Our uptown houses one, two and three, are working upstairs,
which means their first job
is to build the subfloor for their ensuites.
We have to build a screed for our bathroom.
Put all the wood battens in, put the floor back down,
then make the hall.
Because it has to be... Is it 180mm?
It's very mathematical.
We have to run all week.
Whereas downtown houses four and five's main ensuites
are on the ground floor on the slab
and their floors are already
screeded and set.
We need all the hours we can get to finish this bathroom.
Heading into Beaumont consults, I already had found some stuff online,
so yeah, I picked our tiles pretty quickly.
So that's the marble. Mhm.
So it's got a bit of a pink in it.
It does. And in our main bedroom, we actually got the greens
and the bit of blush pink.
Oh nice. So I kind of married it together.
Yep. OK.
So where would you put the marble? On the back wall.
Marble tile will be the focal point from the doorway,
whilst Adam and Jolene will stick with the same floor and wall tile
as their previous bathroom,
changing up the colour of their finger tile behind the cabinetry.
They're beautiful.
You reckon? Yep.
Look how easy that was this time.
How do you wanna go ahead with your bathroom this week?
Well, I'm thinking we'll just stick with the same tiles we did
for the main bathroom downstairs. Yeah.
I believe it was this one here.
The Crossland Pearl.
We really learned our lesson from our last bathroom.
Not being able to finish, that was very stressful.
This real estate deserves better. Like it's amateur hour.
Doing this bathroom this week.
The goal is not to be complacent and make sure that we're, you know,
on top of everything and every single thing gets completed.
So I think we just keep the canvas the same because
they loved that and then try to just make those little changes.
OK. Beautiful.
Chantel and Wyatt is sticking with neutral tones
of their previous bathroom
whilst adding a contemporary vanity,
semi inset basins and curved mirrors.
I'm loving the vanilla vibes.
I do like to keep it a little vanilla, don't I?
Vanilla, vanilla, vanilla.
Vanilla with a hint of beige.
With a hint of beige.
It's Monday.
Feeling good.
Main ensuites.
Roughing's going in.
Really not much else to do.
OK. That's done.
PRODUCER: How's your dad going? Dad's going OK. Dad's going good.
# Go, Ricky! Go, Ricky!
# Go, Ricky... #
(DRILL WHIRRS) (STRAINS)
I think. I haven't really seen him.
So I think Tayla's... Look, there's a lot for her to learn.
We've only been here three weeks. Four weeks.
So she's never done this before.
So I think she's doing a good job at what she's done so far.
Where's my tofu?
But moving forward, I think she'll get the hang of it.
Hi, my name is Tayla. I'm from The Block.
Can you hear me?
Hey. Yeah. I think you got the wrong number.
Oh, OK. Sorry. Thanks. Whoopsies!
We've got to try and fine-tune that
I think once we get that right, we'll be OK.
Otherwise, it's all good. It's gonna be a great day.
Tumbled. Oh, gosh. That's not cheap.
I went in and I had my heart set on getting a crazy pave.
I've asked the team at Beaumont if they can source me a crazy pave.
I think that'll be really, really cool for the bathroom floor.
But there's a high chance that it won't be available for me,
given the time frame.
Maybe I'll be getting on a plane and picking
it up from a warehouse somewhere. Who knows? Let's make it rain.
No, I was just saying how you guys make everything happen.
I can't get it down here in time for you to have it to site tomorrow.
And I was like, "I will get it here."
I will get it couriered here I will find a way.
Like we have four days. Let's go.
And there was like lots of back and forth.
And then they came through and they were like...
So...we can do it.
I love you, guys. We can do it.
Give me a cuddle!
Done. Yay!
All good. I have the stock.
So the mood we are channelling for this week
is definitely like a day spa-type energy.
Mostly complement our suite that we've already built around it.
So to complement their wedding suite, Lisa and Rosco are going
for a crazy paved floor and they're incorporating micro cement
in a wet area for the bench seat.
They've deleted their window and are adding a double shower
to the back wall.
Rosco. Yep.
I've just got further information about the amazing
window in the en suite. Yep.
We now have to keep them. OK.
So when he said that, I was obviously devastated.
But I need to ring the boss.
Ring the boss? I don't want to be around when she's...
No, you don't. ..when that happens.
I tried my hardest. Yeah, yeah.
And unfortunately, it has to stay.
OK. Thank you.
There's no way he's going to come to us and say
no if he hasn't tried everything.
So he's like, "Nuh, it's a no."
Hello, honey. Hi.
I have some news.
Yes.
We're not allowed to remove the window in the bathroom.
Have you have you pushed and pushed and pushed?
Because I got told three times, I confirmed.
I triple checked this morning with Dan and he said yes.
And I've discussed it with the architect.
Dan has tried his absolute best.
He's pushed it as hard as he could possibly push it without
them telling him to sort of maybe find another job.
That's how hard he pushed it.
Is Dan there now?
Dan? Dan stepped away from this conversation.
Like, I've already designed my bathroom.
I'm at Beaumont. It's already... Have you told them that?
He's done.
I can read this out.
"They've got to put on their big person's pants and deal with it."
Is the direct quote.
So put on your big girl pants. It's a window.
Your big mama pants.
(DRUMROLL AND CYMBAL STING)
I just played you an audio emoji.
At the really wrong time. Yeah.
Here, I'll play you this one.
Hon.
(FART)
How good's the little bit at the end?
I have people at Beaumont waiting to get their job done.
Sorry. OK, so...
What do we think about the window?
(FARTS)
(UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC)
CSR - fixes all your cracks.
What's this? Oh, you like my moustache?
Nice, mate. You like it?
I'm gonna curl it up.
Give me... What do we got, nine more weeks?
How much growth's that? That's three weeks.
To start with it's all prickly.
Oh my gosh. You like it?
I really... (LAUGHS)
Chantel doesn't really like it, but. Doesn't she?
You win some, you lose some. Yeah.
You're gonna have to AI a moustache onto him.
Give me a curly one. Do not give him that.
You wanna feel it? Nah, I've got my own mate.
I don't need to feel yours. It's mine.
I don't need to feel it.
I need help. I thought I knew what I was doing, but I don't now.
Super important to get the details right, 'cause if you don't...
OK. 70% done.
Are you hating that cornice?
Yeah. Why is that there?
'Cause the tiles didn't finish at the ceiling, that's why.
This is not high-end at all.
And they're going to get scored for it.
Not finishing one bathroom and not to finish another
is just going to be so embarrassing.
So this is what everything it's all going to look like.
This will be on your floor and then up your walls.
It's not too much?
No, I think it's going to be really broken up with your vanity,
with your bath, and then that Venetian.
That will be perfect.
OK, I trust you.
I'm just gonna say yes.
No, dad likes it.
It is beautiful. Do you want to get in the photo?
You're pretty. Thank you.
Yeah. That's gorgeous. I do like it.
Yeah, cause my bath will brighten it up a bit. Yeah.
SCOTTY: Rick and Tayla will stick to one tile this week
for their ensuite floor and walls, along with a relaxing bath,
double shower and timber vanity.
It's beautiful. That's enough. You are enough.
We've taken Darren's brief from the start
and we're going to stick with it.
Light, bright and white. Yeah.
I've mapped out a bit of a design for you, so hopefully
it'll be quick and easy.
Excellent. That's what I like to hear.
We actually got the win for our main.
Did you? Yeah.
And the tile of the year got a shout out.
Back in week two, Courtney and Sev won the judges over
with their main bathroom.
They literally pulled everything out of their repertoire
and thrown it in here, and it's landed perfectly.
So they're feeling confident heading into their main ensuite.
I actually want to keep to the same tile that won us, again,
the winning main.
So I would love to take the oyster white onto the floor,
but I don't think it's got the right slip rating.
No.
A P3 slip rating ensures good grip in wet and dry areas,
suitable for residential bathrooms.
So Beaumont provide a good solution that is very similar
to the oyster tile that we do have.
So if we hold it up perpendicular, you can see the wall tiles
are showing all its beautiful highlight technology.
And on the floor tile, which is a P3 rated for the fit for purpose
to tick the box.
With your lighting plan, I'm sure you can get the tones
flowing really well together.
And pick it up. Yeah, I think so.
Almost looks identical.
It's a good find.
It's a good solution. Yeah.
And I'm glad no one will be slipping on bums.
Their tiles locked in,
Courtney and Sev are tying in a stone topped timber vanity,
along with a custom love seat
in the double shower
in the hopes of securing another win.
Let's do it. Let's work out numbers.
Let's do it. Alright.
Lock it in, Eddie.
Lock it in.
I budgeted 20 grand for this week's main ensuite
with a $10,000 prize from CommBank up for grabs
for whoever comes the closest to their estimate.
Ah budget.
Budget time. What are we doing?
I'm adding up for you.
What did the bathroom cost us last time?
Sounds like it might be going up because of these boys. It will.
Yeah, it's, uh, it's gonna be a big one.
So Scotty's budget for the week for the en suite
is $20,000 from CommBank.
It's not enough.
Budget was 20 grand for the week. Yeah.
No, my estimate is going to be well above that.
I reckon it's going to be about...
Let's go 28.
Ooh! Yeah.
It's easy gonna be close to 30 grand.
Yeah, 100%. It's insane.
So what's your overall?
What did you say it was, Dan? 12,800.
Yeah.
You're only going to spend $12,800 in the bathroom?
Just round it off at 14. Um...
Oh, hang on, hang on. Venetian. One more.
Yeah. Say 17.
17,000.
Locking it in? Yeah.
Yep. We don't need the money.
That's all that matters at the moment.
We are really good with our budget.
Everyone is freaking out.
23,222.
21... Yeah.
592. OK. It's not too bad.
There's a little bit of cream on it.
It's not that big of a bathroom,
but there's a fair bit of detail into it.
It is labour intensive, this bathroom.
Hey, Court. Yo.
Estimate time.
For their last bathroom,
Courtney and Sev spent a whopping $53,272
after I'd given them a budget of 20 grand.
So hopefully the girls have learned from their overspending mistakes.
Budget, budget, budget. It's not looking good.
Um, $24,149.21.
Job done. $4,149 over budget.
We're (BLEEP) now.
Yeah!
Oh, shivers. OK.
PRODUCER: Coming off the back of the last bathroom,
which, famously, didn't go very well.
We've needed to rip all the tiles up.
Wow.
This is devastating.
Is there a bit of pride on the line here?
Yes. You're that, I guess, hyper focused on making sure we deliver
a complete room this week.
And you don't want to put a foot wrong.
We're not quick today.
SCOTTY: Changing their design to add the window back in
means Lisa and Rosco must now reposition the plumbing
and move their shower heads to the left wall,
which is holding up all progress in the ensuite.
I'm going to go have a look at the room and come back.
Yeah, OK. I think you'll be disappointed.
I don't like disappointing Dad. Yeah. That sucks.
So you weren't lying, mate. You've had a bad day.
Yeah, I know.
We are a long way behind our schedule.
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I understand.
When I get feedback from Dan,
it really, really cuts deep because he's always right.
If we don't waterproof tomorrow, it's game over.
Yeah.
How are we going, mate? How are we going in that room?
Yeah, not too bad.
Not good. No, not overly good.
PRODUCER: How much do you get done by the end of Monday?
Where are we at? (BLEEP) all, Travis.
(BLEEP) all.
We thought the floor would have been a lot further ahead.
And we are already a day behind.
Do we have to have the bath?
Maybe we get rid of the bath, Dad. Good idea?
Huge pivot. We're getting rid of the bath.
There's one literally right next door.
We don't need two baths.
And then you want more room in the shower?
So we're gonna get rid of the bath.
We've got so much more space for activities in the shower.
It's gonna evoke a really calm...
Calm vibe in the shower.
Yeah. Correct. Wow.
It's divine. It's really good for you, too.
For the activities. Yeah.
There's plenty of room to, you know, you can stretch.
And you can bring your friends in there, too, and stuff.
Yeah, you can shave under over and do all sorts.
You get your friend to shave you.
Yeah, yeah. Wash your back.
Hey, hon. Yeah.
Where are you micro-cementing?
In the shower.
DAN: Excuse me.
So the idea for this week was to do micro cement
in the wet area in the shower.
You can't do it in the shower. In the shower?
Why? Cause it's a wet area.
Micro-cement's super common in a wet area.
I was told, "We'll look into it.
"Send us all the specs.
We need to see all the data.
We need to see that it actually can stick to the waterproofing,
whether it's compatible with the waterproofing.
Then our builder surveyors got to look at it and see whether
he's going to accept it.
Yeah. So I emailed it to you, Dan, and I've emailed it to Simmo.
Simmo said him and Aidan are looking at it
and they'll get back to me within an hour.
But it is super common in the shower.
Yeah, but not when you've got to do it in four days.
Well, so he needs two days to do it.
OK. It's not going to happen. But yeah, we go with it.
And that can be half done. Alright.
Yeah. I definitely am quite like persistent when I have an idea
like I won't easily take no for an answer.
I'm just not sure it's the week to be doing...
Just let me talk to her tonight in the car.
OK. You're on your getaway tonight, aren't you?
Yeah.
House two are travelling really well at the moment.
They're about to lay all their floors, which is really great.
Are we still waterproofing today?
If we're not laying the waterproof
because obviously we want to do it in one go.
We don't want to half waterproof. We want it all or nothing.
But we're going to be up to waterproofing if we don't lay it.
I actually reckon it would be better to plaster
everything besides waterproof.
How long does the Cursio's reckon to tile this?
It's going to be tight.
I know he's getting pressure from the Cursio's
to get the waterproofing done today,
but we've got to learn from the previous bathroom.
I hate painting.
Unfortunately, they haven't been able to finish painting it.
Ran out of time.
See, for me, the lessons last time in the bathroom was
we left the plastering too late.
The tilers took over, which they shouldn't have.
And then you got done on your plastering.
So I'll be telling the tilers, "Just cool your jets.
"We can still waterproof tomorrow."
Let's get fully plastered, top coated before they step in here.
Bathrooms are very hard because you've got every trade in there.
So there's a sequence you want to try and do to make
it all fit into one week.
When you stop swapping and changing the sequence, it gets to the back
end of the week where you haven't got enough time to do your painting.
And that's what happened to Wyatt last time.
And that's why they didn't win the bathroom.
Maybe just remind them of last time what happened. Yeah.
You didn't have enough time because the plaster didn't get done.
The Cursios have like eight, ten years' experience on The Block.
So I take a lot of their advice into consideration.
As long as they don't blame me for being too slow.
They'll blame anyone but themselves. They'll blame me.
So how many years experience does Foreman Dan have on The Block?
Oh, so Foreman Dan...
When did he debut as a contestant?
I can't remember, it was like 2006 or something, maybe?
# Here comes another one... #
Hey, my name is Dan. And I'm Dani.
First impression is very positive. It looks fresh.
The winner for week one is...
Dan and Dani.
It's a real sort of indigo, which is so trendy at the moment.
Dan and Dani.
Yes.
It feels like a family home. Does, doesn't it?
Really nice room.
Dan and Dani.
Absolutely rapt about this room. And I think you feel the same.
Yeah, I do.
I'm gonna try my best to get the plastering done
before the waterproofing.
MAN: Are you OK? Yeah, I'm just in SVT.
SVT is a heart condition that I have.
Basically my normal resting heart rate,
which is around 70 beats per minute.
And then it jumps to about 230 beats per minute.
No, no, no, no, don't do that, Buck.
I'm not embarrassed by having SVT, but it can be embarrassing
when I can't, like, talk and just function as a normal
human when it's happening.
And the thought of being on a job site surrounded by men and having
to call an ambulance is like, you know, you don't want to be
embarrassed or look weak.
Have you always had this? Yeah.
There's just not normally a camera here when it happens.
It is something I've had for many years now, and it doesn't affect
my ability to work or live my life.
However, it can be quite stressful when it happens,
especially when you're not prepared for it to happen
and you're around people.
It can be somewhat embarrassing.
Like the stress of that feeling can make you a little bit panicked.
So it's important just to stay hydrated and relax and understand
that it's not going to kill you.
You just need to sort of get through it.
Just go to the bathroom and stop it.
(AVRIL LAVIGNE'S 'SK8ER BOI' PLAYS)
(SINGS) # He was a skater boy
She said, "See you later, boy."
He wasn't good enough for her.
# Now he's a superstar Jamming on his... #
(PHONE CHIMES) Oh.
Hello. Hey, are you on site?
Why? What's up? What's wrong?
I've gone into SVT and I can't stop it myself this time.
Can you feel... Like you can feel rapid heart rate?
Oh, yeah. It's well over 200.
OK, so just lay down.
Alright.
Lisa is a paramedic, so I thought, you know,
I might just call her and just, you know, as that person to speak to.
I know as a paramedic,
she would have dealt with these a million times.
And we just went through the vascular manoeuvres.
If you can find a straw or something or like a tube, anything,
get that and like put it in your mouth and actually blow through it
as if you were trying to like, you know...
If you can imagine a syringe,
like a plunger, you like are trying to push it to the end. Yeah.
So basically I have to put my legs in the air.
And you pretty much simulate blowing into a syringe.
(EXHALES SHARPLY)
No.
I'll try again.
We both agreed that if I can't get rid of her within five rounds,
that I would call the ambulance.
I managed to get rid of it on my third round.
All good. I'm out.
Alright, darling, I'll...
I'll come by and see you when I get back.
OK. Bye bye.
Easy. Thank you.
It's OK.
Courtney wants to be tough for both of us.
And she wants to be tough, like just in this environment.
Because getting respect from men sometimes can be hard.
And I know that you don't want to look weak.
And I know why she didn't tell me.
She didn't want to stress me out.
She didn't want to stress anyone around her out.
But yeah, it sucks.
SCOTTY: Last week's winners, Lisa and Rosco,
are about to leave for their Chery getaway,
but it couldn't come at a worse time for Rosco.
We're way behind where we needed to be.
We've haven't even got insulation up.
We haven't got our walls up, so we're...
Yeah, staring down the barrel of another unfinished bathroom.
It's fine. You're gonna make yourself sick, stressing like this.
It's not a life or death situation.
It's not? Yes it is.
If we don't finish after putting all our effort in, then there's
nothing more that we can do.
I know, hon. I know.
There's no point talking about it.
I know, hon, but I'm out here alone.
Yeah, it doesn't change anything.
Husband's dead on the inside today.
I was in a state. I don't even remember driving in.
Look, everyone's enjoying their spa day.
Yeah, because they don't... They're not building a house.
I was not happy.
Are they gonna let us in here?
Then he very quickly, like, kind of saw where we were.
And literally you could see the stress fall away from him.
Oh. You're back. Yeah. I'm back.
Alba itself is, like, stunning.
It's like this big concrete structure.
Like it'd be like my dream home, really.
Yeah.
They've got this stunning, ginormous water feature in their lobby.
There's so many different textures, but they work in so well together.
It's like modern minimalism at its finest.
It's absolutely beautiful.
First thing on the agenda is we're having a treatment.
So we get shown into this beautiful room.
Oh wow. This is amazing.
I find out we're getting a beautiful massage.
So we'll leave you to get comfortable.
So just undressing down to the lower underwear popping your
robes in that little alcove there.
There's a pair of nice little jocks on there they call boy leg.
So I put them on, and I didn't know this at the time.
That boy leg undies for girls.
MAN: What are you wearing? I'm wearing some, uhh...
I'm wearing some see through jocks.
'Cause they're so small,
they stretch and then they become see through.
Turn around and show us.
You don't want to see this.
And I'm in a room with three grown men.
And I've got see through undies on.
It's disgusting.
And then I was asked to de-robe and got onto my bed.
I was probably up there with the top three most embarrassing
things I've ever done in my life.
So much for a nice weekend away.
It's off to a great start.
Quickly forget about my stress at The Block
when you've got girls' pants on.
Is that good, Rosco. Yeah.
I'm thinking about how we can do crazy paving around the pool.
(SONG) # Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes?
# Even if it was for just one day? #
Welcome to the loser dinner. Pleasure being here.
Oh, my God.
It was so good to get home to the Share house.
I just couldn't wait to have a shower. And then...
(KNOCK AT DOOR) Who is that?
I hear a door knock and I did not anticipate
for who was on the other side.
Good evening. Hello! Hi, Darren. Welcome.
Ding dong.
It's Darren Palmer and his amazing muscles and beautiful face.
And I got very nervous very quickly.
Guys, look who we have. Who is it?
It was Darren Palmer.
Hello.
Hey, mate. How's it going?
Dazza.
Hey?
Big Dazza come around.
I love him.
The last time you met me, I blew your lives apart.
And I threw a cat amongst the pigeons.
Oh, this will be interesting.
So buckle up.
I know the last time you met me
I blew your lives apart.
And I threw a cat amongst the pigeons.
The vibe is quiet luxury, white, light and bright.
You're never going to walk into something that I've designed
or styled and see a lot of colour.
This is where minimalism can go completely wrong.
It becomes boring.
I'm boring. I like boring.
Um... I'm scared.
No, no, no, no. Don't be scared. Don't be scared. Don't be scared.
I think it's really great that you guys did follow the advice
that you were given.
So let me expand on what I told you.
But buckle up because it's data, it's Dazza's data.
Now. 3.2 to 4.5.
That's that's where your market is.
You've got 45% family upgraders.
So they're aged 38 to 52. Dual professional income.
You've got 25% that are prestige downsizers.
That's the 58 to 72 market.
You've got 15% that are lifestyle sea-changers.
They've got an appetite for architectural identity
and design quality.
Now, you've also got another cohort in there.
You've got Block viewers
and they will have been watching you build your houses.
They will have been falling in love or not with them as
you go through the process.
They are design centric.
They are looking for innovation.
They are looking for something that excites them
from a design point of view.
That's what that cohort expects.
So I think I can legitimately, truly say to you, you've got
licence to cater to them.
In a smaller space, such as a powder room, a bathroom,
a bedroom, you can take more risks.
You can have more personality in a communal space.
You need to be more broad.
In other words, your drama needs to get smaller as the space gets bigger
or bigger as the space gets smaller. Does that make sense?
So aspiration for a bathroom,
you've got textures, you've got veining.
This is a great reference point.
All of this is appropriate.
And look how much interest in colour is in there.
Stunning. Yeah. Yeah.
I was sitting there on the floor like, this whole time.
Just like, "Whoa!" Yeah.
In a space where many people use, you have to have a safer,
more broad-market appeal approach.
Have a look at the island bench and the leg
that's in like a dark sort of eucalypt teal, right?
Look at the study.
The study is also teal.
The way they've applied the colour in that home is really important
for you guys to think about.
Do you know what kept coming up during that whole
slide show presentation?
The colour green, green and olive and sages and eucalypt green.
and I just kept shaking my head the whole time because I would have
started off this whole journey on The Block with all of those greens.
But Dad said, no.
I meant what I said on the first day.
You have the hardest brief that I have experienced on this show,
and I've been on it for 17 of the 22 seasons.
This is a very specific brief.
You've got license to do something that maybe is on
the forefront of of trends.
When I came into the competition, I said to Courtney that I want
to sort of have a bit of an edge and pull colour in.
On promo day, we were told to sort of go light, bright, airy.
Literally do not colour drench.
So now some of the imagery that he's showing is referencing this.
And so yeah, I just go into a bit of a spin out because I'm like, we were
going to do that originally, but now we've started a design direction
that I don't want to pull away from because it's been...
We've got consistency. It's been winning for us.
And so, yeah, that I think tonight's going to be a sleepless night
because I just freak out a bit.
Hey, Scotty. Oh.
Hello, mate. Rosco. Hello.
Come here. Come sit down. Hello.
Lovely to see you. Thank you, darling.
It was so nice of Scotty Cam.
Amazing. Thank you.
Yeah, this is nice and healthy for you.
You're gonna have the salmon. It's really good for you.
That looks amazing. Looks really good.
Well, congratulations. Yeah. Cheers.
And I don't want this to be our last dinner.
Maybe we could do, like, five or six.
Yeah, yeah, that'd be amazing.
OK. We'd be happy with that.
Cheers. Cheers.
Thank you. Cheers to that.
We got some really good advice off him.
Just about, like, tips for going forward
and keeping things achievable.
Now, I hear you wanna Venetian your shower.
Mhm.
In this new technique, what is it called?
Micro-cement. Micro-cement.
And that's a big process to get that
waterproofed and get it ticked. Yes.
Get rid of it. No.
Tile the bloody shower.
I agree. We had this discussion. It's scrapped. It's gone.
Good. And you want to know who the VIP guest is?
We do. Yeah, we would love to.
The VIP guest is Darren Palmer.
I knew it was gonna be him when you said that.
Yeah. How good.
And he is speaking to the teams that aren't hitting the brief
and need a bit of help.
And to really lay down what the brief is.
And he's giving them a bit of a masterclass
while they're having dinner.
You guys shouldn't be worried about not being there
because basically the villas that you're in is the brief.
That's exactly what we were saying.
And that bedroom of yours actually hit the brief.
That's why you won. Yeah.
Perfect. Thank you. Yeah. We're very proud.
Got some amazing advice from Darren and he stayed on
for dinner with us.
For Aldi dinner.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
I feel like it's safe to say Tayla, you're a little bit
starstruck by Darren Palmer.
Oh, absolutely.
Can we take a selfie? Yeah. Of course.
Put your wine in it.
We look like brother and sister a little bit.
I hear you guys skipped dinner with Darren and went to the gym instead.
We need reps to get set better. That's why we come here to train.
That's what the other teams are so slow.
Because they're not coming and putting in the work in the gym
to get better at insulating and painting and those things.
House Two is just so fast too.
So here I am.
So we sucked all the information out of Darren and then we dipped.
Rude!
I'm here. Ask me.
I can tell you whatever you want.
I'm here to give you advice.
OK. How did we get half a point or one point less than...
An unfinished room?
A bathroom with only waterproof?
Yeah. Let me let me explain it to you.
The ten points that I've got available to me are broken into
four different categories.
Quarter of the points are for finish.
Quarter of the points of design, a quarter of are inclusions
and a quarter of for marketability.
For things, they each get two and a half points.
So pull 2.5 away.
You got seven and a half to play with, right?
But it was well designed.
It had good inclusions and it was absolutely marketable.
Thanks. I get that now.
Grand. Guys, I really hope you got some value out of that.
I know it was a lot of information.
I hope I've given you some things you can use that inspire you,
that help you along the way.
We're all here to help you succeed and that's what we want.
So thank you for your company.
Thank you for dinner. And I'm out.
Gotta go. Bye! Thank you!
Bye, guys. Good luck this week.
Thank you, D.
Tomorrow night...
Ready to rumble? Great.
Let's go to work. Yeah.
Excitement is short lived when it comes to The Block.
Why haven't you got chippies here?
They're not here, mate. They were supposed to come.
Gonna be the laughingstock at The Block. You watch.
(BLEEP) you.
They are in huge danger of not finishing at all.
The tradie war is in full swing. I've never been asked.
I'm pretty upset. That's all I'm gonna say.
He gets his... Put that in the memory bank.
I'm gonna kill him.
And it's a race to see who can complete their main ensuite
in time for judging.
Things are really not working out in there.
Do you think you can finish?
We're definitely not going to finish this week.
That's a guarantee.
I don't know if that was ever going to happen.
Still feeling embarrassed, deflated, and like I'm not going to finish.
