Goodnight.
Hey, buddy.
Oh, I've just got to get in here. (CHUCKLES)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No worries. All good.
SCOTT: 48 hours ago, I initiated three very green teams...
Game faces on. Alright, here we go.
..onto the new Block. Hi, nice to meet you.
I'm Tanya! I'm Luke.
In Melbourne's Bayside suburb of Hampton,
an up-and-coming haven for families,
is Bronte Court, a cul-de-sac of five unique homes.
# And I'm feeling good... #
House 1 is a corner block blonde brick home.
Directly next door is House 2,
with its Queen Anne-style heritage features.
Skipping over a house, we find House 3,
a stunning 1950s mid-century facade.
Right next door to House 3 is House 4,
and this one is a complete blank canvas.
And over the road on its own is House 5.
# And I'm feeling good... #
This one is huge.
(DRAMATIC CLASSICAL MUSIC)
It's the only two-storey house on the block,
and sits on more than 900 square metres of prime real estate.
What's going on? I am...
I have no idea. Yeah.
What these newbies don't know yet is they have signed up for
a little game I like to call Fans vs Faves.
Okey-dokey.
# I'm gonna set this house on fire... #
And there's two experienced all-star teams on their way.
Seatbelts, darling.
Something's going on. There's a twist.
This has never happened before. This is not usual Block procedure.
# Are you ready? #
So it was only fair that I give these guys some training.
Let's kick it off with a House Decider Challenge.
(CHEERING)
It was a baptism of fire. Pressure!
(LAUGHS) Baptism of fire!
They each had five grand to design a bedroom.
So, no window? No. No window.
We didn't even think about a window!
We've blown the budget,
so we're gonna have to play it tight from now on.
And results...
SHAYNNA: Hamptons. Beach.
Look at that. That is sensational.
..were mixed. That's tacky as hell.
I am struggling to see anything I like in here.
The winners are Kirsty and Jesse.
Yes! Well done, guys.
Tonight... There are no plans.
Can I just ask, do they all have no plans?
..not only is there no plans...
We've had some drama already. I'm sure you're up-to-date.
..there's also no 'love thy neighbour'.
I'm off Kirsty and Jesse.
I want them off my site. I don't want to see them.
So she's the mean girl.
Let the games begin.
But right now, there's a storm coming.
Something's happening.
Something's going down.
(CAR ENGINE REVS)
It might be a bit of them...
BOTH: ..and us.
And I know what camp I want to be in.
(DREAMY ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
Ready to do this, Mitch? Yep. Let's do it!
# I feel love
# I feel love... #
(SIGHS) Mitchy, here we are again.
Yay. (CHUCKLES)
It's The Block. Can you believe we're back?
We were going about our life,
planning our renovation for our house,
which we've put off, put off, put off,
'cause of COVID, lockdowns and everything.
And we were ready to start, and got the call.
The renovation is happily put back.
(CHUCKLES) And we're on a plane to Melbourne.
# Oh, my, my, my
# (Oh, my, my, my) I die every night with you... #
We are so honoured and privileged to be back on this show.
Of course we want to win The Block outright.
We're competitive people.
We've come back with a lot more experience, a lot more insight,
so we will play the Block game
with passion. Mmm.
(ENGINE REVS)
It's The Block.
What is this?
What have we got here?
MAN: Wow!
Check these guys out. (LAUGHS)
Are you ready?
It's a couple of all-stars, Mitch and Mark!
# Hey, hey, hey, we are the titans
# Yeah, yeah, yeah... #
Aren't they snazzy?
Business is picking up. (LAUGHS)
# Wanna turn this night around... #
I think when you see an all-star,
you think that an all-star has a bit of magic that you don't know about.
Hey, boys.
Mitch and Mark! Mitch and Mark. Right.
Competition's on.
They call them, um, M&M.
M&M. Mitch and Mark.
MITCH: You don't realise till later
that the all-stars are just another couple
that have been fortunate to be on The Block.
MAN: Well, you keep that secret from them.
Maintain that mystique, don't you?
You want to keep it a little bit... It's a bit like the royal family.
Go and introduce yourselves over there.
Hello!
Looking fab, guys! Hello, hello!
How are ya? Vito. How are you?
Kirsty. Kirsty. Kirsty. Nice to meet you, Kirsty.
JESSE: Got our work cut out for us.
They've got 400 renos under their belt, don't they?
MARK: You keep a little bit of mystique.
I'm sure it's like riding a bike for you guys.
What do you think you've gotten yourselves into?
(LAUGHS) Yeah! The unknown.
Yeah. (CHUCKLES)
Oh, gosh.
It's all fun and giggles till the first set of tears.
(AWKWARD LAUGHTER)
First impression of the three new guys,
I think they seem like really nice people.
I thought that last time. (LAUGHS) (LAUGHS)
A few years ago on The Oslo, Mitch and Mark were blindsided
when their former besties, Tess and Luke,
denied their application for a rooftop spa.
You broke me. You broke me.
You both broke me. TESS: Wow.
I broke you? Yeah, mate, you did the (BLEEP) same to me.
You think that you can judge my character for what I just did then.
Now I think we're reinvigorated to say,
"Actually, we are going to go and play hard to win."
So, first impressions of the three new couples...
They're new on The Block. They looked a little bit shell-shocked
with what they've been doing.
I just checked out what they're all wearing.
They've got no style, so we'll be fine.
We drove in and he's looking, going, scanning, going,
"Yeah, nah, they've got nothing."
Some of them are trying. God bless them!
Hmm. Do the math.
There's one other couple turning up, and given we turned up,
we went, "There's got to be another all-star couple."
('CHELSEA DAGGER' BY THE FRATELLIS PLAYS)
(CAR ENGINE REVS)
# We'll be breaking boulders underneath our feet... #
GEORGIA: So this is Hampton, right?
RONNIE: Look at the size of the houses.
(PANTING) Are you excited?
Hold my hand.
(MUSIC FADES) No, no, just hold my hand.
Oh.
OK, that's enough. Thank you.
(BOTH LAUGH)
(EXHALES) OK.
MAN: Any trepidation about coming back?
What does trepidation mean? Are you...
Were you worried about it? Oh.
It did take me a little convincing, I'm not gonna lie. Just because...
you now understand how hectic The Block is,
and what it takes to get through it.
We got there. We got there!
Here we are. And here we are! We're here.
# We don't sleep when the sun goes down... #
Coming into the season as an all-star,
the pressure is on your back to do well.
We're here to win! We're gonna produce amazing rooms.
We're gonna be efficient. We're gonna try and be on budget.
So, you know, game players? Yeah, cool. We'll play the game.
Here it is. Here it is! Here it is!
Oh, my god. Look at that. Wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait.
Take it all in.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh...
Who is it?
Oh, my goodness.
(BLEEP) Mitch and Mark. (CHUCKLES)
MAN: Oh, my god. What is going on here?
Oh, well, blow me down with a feather.
It's Ronnie and Georgia!
(CHEERING)
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Hi, Scotty! (APPLAUSE)
How are ya? Scotty, Scotty, Scotty.
Back again. Always looking a million dollars.
Lovely to see you. Oh! Thanks for having us back!
Far out. What else?
Hi, everyone!
Hi, guys! We know these guys!
(KISSES) How are you?
Oh, my god. They are so fabulous.
We're matching!
It would have been funny if they rocked up in the same suit.
That would have been really good.
MARK: She looks amazing. Ronnie looked OK for Ronnie.
Um, but... Yeah, Ronnie's alright.
But they will really bring it.
What a good-looking crowd, huh? (LAUGHS)
We've done it before, they've done it before.
They know their stuff.
So they will be a huge challenge.
Now, before you guys rudely interrupted us -
only joking, of course -
these guys were about to tell us which house they were gonna live in,
because these teams have been doing a House Decider Challenge.
GEORGIA: Right! And Kirsty and Jesse
have just won it. Oh, well done.
And they were just about to tell us which house they want.
Now you know who you're up against, it's a really crucial decision.
I just think we go with our gut.
Yep, yeah. Yeah.
We'll go House 5.
House 5. ALL: Ooh!
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
It's a big decision, and I think it's a good one.
Well done. Yep, good on 'em.
# Let's go to paradise
# This stuff feel like Friday nights... #
With over 900 square metres of land and two storeys,
House 5 is twice the size of the rest of the Block houses.
We picked House 5. The block of land really sold it to us.
It looks like it's about double the size of all the other houses,
and land equals money, especially in this area.
Boys, you're up next. Have you got a house?
Yes, we do. Yeah, we've got a house, yep.
Easy decision. Number four. Number four.
House 4. Go boys.
# Whoa, oh, oh, oh, it's love or it's lust
# We just need to be clear... #
At the end of the street, House 4 is pretty much a blank slate.
BOTH: We got House 4.
Back of the cul-de-sac.
Best location out of all five houses.
When you look at a cul-de-sac, that's the prime real estate.
We know that from real estate background.
And it's just an empty slab, so... We're really stoked.
..we're thinking we could potentially have
a free build on our hands. Yep.
We're really happy with it.
Tell me, Kirsty and Jesse, is that the house you wanted,
five, all along? Yes, we did, yep.
Is that the house you wanted all along?
Yes, it was. It was?
(EXHALES) OK, Vito, Tanya.
OK, I'm just like, "Yes!" because we want number three!
You wanted three all the time?
Oh, the whole time! I was freaking out!
So no-one crossed over any houses. You all got the house you wanted.
We did! Why did we spend all night...!
That means we didn't need to do a Decider Challenge.
Well, it was good experience! Yes.
I should just ask the question next time. Which house do you want?
(LAUGHS)
We got our house. Got the house, love.
# Talkin' in your sleep
# Don't know what you mean... #
Next door to 4, House 3 features a mid-century facade.
Lucky for us, we still got the house we wanted,
so we were thrilled with the actual outcome.
Yes! Yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yes, yes! Yes! Come on.
Everyone's happy. Everybody got the house they wanted.
but we also got everybody else's stuff that was inside the house,
because the challenge was set in our home.
OK, we have got three houses sorted.
We've still got two to go.
We need to find out where the all-stars are going,
and no, we're not doing a Decider Challenge.
We haven't got time! We're not dressed for that.
So I'm gonna put that decision down to our newbies over here.
Ooh, the twist! That's right.
You've been around the block, you've looked at all the houses.
Where are you gonna put Mitch and Mark and Ronnie and Georgia
so they have the least chance...
Oh, come on! ..of beating you in your own game?
Have a discussion.
To even out the playing field, we thought it only fair
that the inexperienced fans picked the all-star houses for them.
House 1, with its blonde brick facade,
is the corner block at the intersection
of Bronte Court and a main road.
Next door to 1, House 2 has a Queen Anne-style heritage facade.
Well, number one's gonna be right on the street,
so number one's less desirable,
so whoever we think's the biggest challenge,
I reckon we put in number one.
With Ronnie and Georgia, we just thought location would get them.
We kind of know being right on a busy street
will set them back a bit. It's not ideal.
So Mitch and Mark in two? Yep, in two.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mitch and Mark probably will suffer more in House 2,
'cause they like, you know, very jazzy, very modern...
They have a really unique style,
and with some of those heritage features in that home,
they might find it a bit more difficult.
It's not really in their area of expertise.
Hey, listen, we're the underdogs. We've got to stick together.
Yeah, 100%. Have to have each other's backs.
Let's do it. OK. Yep.
Let's do that, guys. Alright, we've decided.
Got it sorted, Scotty.
What's it gonna be? Where's Mitch and Mark going?
OK, so, Mitch and Mark in House 2.
Ronnie and Georgia in House 1.
Whoo! Number one! Whoo!
Winners! Thank you very much!
This is fantastic. Our all-stars are gonna be next-door neighbours!
Yeah, party house! Party house! This is outstanding!
OK, ladies and gentlemen - and all-stars, of course -
we're all fired up and ready to get into some serious renovating.
What we have here, folks, is a show that I like to call
Fans vs Favourites.
(LAUGHTER AND CHEERING)
Yes! May the best team win. Come on.
I will be needing a guest bedroom by next Sunday.
And, fans, you are gonna have to take your rooms to another level
compared to what you served up today.
(CHUCKLES) 100%.
This here is some serious competition.
MAN: It is.
Each team will get $21,000 courtesy of Suncorp,
which I think is very generous.
That is very generous.
I think it's more than you need. (LAUGHS)
But Suncorp are wanting you to think about saving money
right from the very beginning.
There's no doubt there's gonna be some big ideas
going into these houses.
To help you save money along the way,
you're also gonna need these over here, the folders,
which are your Block Bucks.
And that's all the essential things you need from our fabulous sponsors.
There is no doubt you cannot finish your houses
without your Block Bucks, so spend them wisely.
This is gonna be epic, gang.
Gonna be lots of fun.
Good luck, everybody. Your time starts now. Run.
Thanks, Scotty. Let's go. Josh, Josh, Josh!
Oh, wait, wait, wrong house, wrong house, wrong house!
This is gonna be a long series.
# How could we wreck this happy home?
# Before everything fell to pieces... #
House 5!
Have a go at it. Got a bit to do.
# We was on some Bonnie and Clyde... #
This is our baby. Let's have a look. This is ours!
Very happy. Got what we wanted.
I'm happy, I'm relieved. How good is this?
Look how big the concrete slab is. It's enormous.
Yeah, it's massive. It's massive.
That's massive, isn't it? There's a lot to do.
Oh, there's so much to do.
# How could we wreck this happy home? #
We've got three beds, love! Oh, my gosh. Just realised that.
Up our sleeve, three beds! Yeah, of course!
I mean, that's a huge advantage right there.
# You're on my rock
# Get off my block
# Get off my rock! #
MITCH: Ooh, my god. This is beautiful!
Honey, I'm home! That's cool!
Oh, my god.
There's not much to do! I mean, really!
Wow.
Can you believe we're doing this again? Ha!
Ronnie. Ron. George, just drop it.
No, can I just say something to you? It's my call.
Can I just talk to you! If you just be quiet and let me talk!
Listen to me. Listen to me, OK?
It doesn't go. (WOMAN LAUGHS)
That's my opinion. But you go...
Would you like me to go away and you can just style the whole bedroom?
No, no. Then don't have an opinion on this.
I'm allowed to have an opinion. Why did you come?
You should have just stayed home. I'm allowed to have an opinion.
Look at the size of the ceilings! Wow!
Look at all that space up there.
It's a lot of space. We can do some amazing things up there.
They're high ceilings. Yeah. That's really good.
Imagine if you had a whole atrium of skylights.
RONNIE: 36 Velux windows up there.
Velux, Velux, Velux, Velux, Velux, Velux, Velux!
Oh, my god! Wow.
It's like a...dungeon which you can turn into a basement!
That's where we put Mitch when he's naughty.
For the first time ever,
this season, every house features a basement
with an average size of a one-bedroom city apartment -
an underground blank slate.
It's huge down here! Wow.
Oh! (SINGS SCALES)
(LAUGHS) The acoustics! I mean...
This is gonna be your party room. (SINGS SCALES)
(LAUGHS) (CONTINUES SINGING)
Like, there's a country & western singer on here.
She's got (BLEEP) nothin'... I'll send you down here by yourself.
You know, like, I'm actually thinking now?
We've got all this beautiful presence on the corner.
Look at that light streaming in. It's a lot of light.
One less neighbour, which is good. I think we've struck gold here.
I actually think... Front presence.
..this is not gonna be so bad, Ron Dog.
George, and it comes with a fence already. Look at that.
Ha! Done. Like, security!
You know the interesting thing for us? We got...
No, Marky, what is the interesting thing for us?
I'll tell you. Tell me, please.
'Cause you're waiting for this
'cause you know it's gonna be so insightful.
The interesting thing - and don't do that, 'cause you're not that hot -
is that we were known for, like, mid-century modern,
and this is heritage.
It is exciting. Are you excited? I am excited.
To get that house, I think it's really given us a bit of a direction
because of that Federation front.
And we did hear that they thought that might rattle us.
Because they've only ever seen us do mid-century modern.
We've done one mid-century modern house,
and that was the one on The Block.
We have done 19 non-mid-century modern.
# Haven't you heard the rumours?
# Rumour has it... #
We have designed houses to suit the property,
to suit the location, and to suit the demographic.
Love thy neighbour!
Hi, guys! It's the all-star precinct!
We're on The Block again, guys!
(LAUGHS) Whoo-hoo!
Though I think that they've given us these,
I think that may not have been a good decision on their part.
Oh. I think that was a huge mistake.
I think so. Do you know what I call that?
I call that rookie hour. You know what I mean?
But they seemed sweet, though.
Oh, they seemed so sweet and innocent.
Yeah! Just you wait. Oh, my god.
You can smell the blood in the air, can't you?
(LAUGHTER)
Sorry, what? Is that Scotty cooking, or is that something else I smell?
Ooh, I thought it was a barbecue. Fresh meat!
# Cross my heart and hope to die, I'ma keep you up at night
# Wish you'd never met me, ya, ya... #
Well, well, well. Thought I could smell something!
Ronnie and Georgia, you're not gonna believe this.
Tanya and Vito are massive fans of you guys.
GEORGIA: No! You're joking. Really?
SCOTT: Righto, hook into this food.
Scotty's on the barbecue again! The barbecue king!
(UPBEAT MUSIC) (CHUCKLES)
I don't know, Mitch, whether they've made the right decision
about where they put us and Ronnie and Georgia.
(LAUGHS) ..idea who you guys are!
Oh, are you a fangirl too? (CHUCKLES)
It might be a bit of them... BOTH: ..and us.
And I know what camp I want to be in.
ALL: Cheers!
GEORGIA: I think when the fans were selecting their houses,
I think they were just so focused on what that house had to offer.
They weren't thinking broader scale, which was,
let's put two faves down the end of the street together
who can, like, help each other out and be strategic and communicate,
and, like, just get the ball rolling.
Big mistake.
Big. Huge mistake. Huge mistake. 'Pretty Woman'?
Huge. Huge. Huge.
# There'll be no strings to bind your hands
# Not if my love can't bind your heart... #
(COMICAL HONK)
Good morning.
# Just call me angel of the morning... #
Lovely shower this morning. We're back. (CHUCKLES)
# Then slowly turn away... #
WOMAN: Hey, boys. Hi.
Good sight to wake up to. (SIGHS)
The competition has raised the bar now.
Mitch and Mark definitely upped the gameplay.
You know that you're in for it.
Like, these guys do this for a living now.
They know a lot more than us.
It was weird when they came yesterday.
It made, I think, us... Put you in your shell a bit.
Yeah, put me back in my shell a little bit, you know?
They're like, "This is our show."
I felt a little bit dejected
when they were kind of putting their foot down like, "This is our show.
"You guys are gonna be nothing compared to us," sort of feel.
They're very competitive.
(SOFT MUSIC)
Good morning. WOMAN: Morning. How you going?
Oh, good!
It's really funny at the moment.
It feels like it's us three up against the favourites.
The fact that the all-stars have already done this
puts them in a pretty good situation.
It does, it does.
Luke... That's what I said!
Luke, no, will you stop twisting?
SCOTT: While the fans had the luxury
of sleeping in their challenge rooms last night,
the all-stars are roughing it in tents.
Listen, we had the best night's sleep...
said nobody ever.
Good morning!
Is it hard to get back into Block mode?
You know what, it's not for me.
Because this is what I've been doing for the last three years.
Oh, hey, how good's The Block, right?
Do you want to do it again?
Let's do it! Let's do it!
# Call me when you want... #
For the last three years, we have been working extremely hard
on renovating, working for clients.
I own a renovation company called Ronovation HQ.
Too much? (LAUGHS) I'm glad you did not drop that.
Since The Block, we've definitely been honing our skills.
So I'm very aware of suppliers and styles and trends.
You know, you've just got your finger on the pulse.
You're just so much more informed now.
But really, I just want to win.
Give me a high five.
# Reaching for the sun, 'cause my best is yet to come... #
What? Is this your game plan, is it?
You've written out a set of notes?
Time is of the essence, I feel like.
So, start planning, but we don't actually have...
You know, we technically don't have floor plans,
so we don't really know what we're planning.
# Everybody, everybody rise... #
MAN: You're up and pumped and ready to go?
Yep. I'm an early riser, unfortunately. (CHUCKLES)
We have had to work really hard for everything in our lives.
Looking back, I don't think I would change that,
because it's made us the people that we are today.
That's why we're so hungry for this, you know?
Like, that's why we're fighting so hard, so...
(COMICAL MUSIC) Sorry, neighbours.
First up, we actually need to get the plans
so we can see what our house is gonna be.
And then we can get started, hopefully.
Obviously still no floor plans.
We're very excited to see what we have in store.
(SIPS LOUDLY)
(GULPS)
Excited. Yeah, I'm excited for today. Just wanna...
I'm busting to see these house plans so we can get on the way, you know?
Yeah, if I don't have plans, then I'm pretty scattered.
I need to work towards the plan.
(SIPS LOUDLY, GULPS)
Yeah.
(UPBEAT MARCHING MUSIC)
SCOTT: There may be no floor plans just yet,
but the new and old recruits do have flag plans.
(SINGS FANFARE)
Everyone has a flagpole with their team colours.
Yeah!
Look at it. It's glorious.
Let the games - I mean, build - begin.
# But something good will come of this
# 'Cause we're waking up the world... #
In House 2, Mitch and Mark have managed to secure
their building team from The Oslo.
Hi, boys! Hey!
Oh, my god! We're back!
Yay! Whoo-hoo!
How are you? (LAUGHS)
Long time no see!
Jason and Stevie walk onto The Block and we are ready to go.
(LAUGHTER)
The A team is back in town.
Those guys are family to us.
('YMCA' BY THE VILLAGE PEOPLE PLAYS)
Boys. (LAUGHTER)
It's a big day on The Block today.
We know it's Mardi Gras in Sydney,
but we are here to bring Sydney to you boys.
(LAUGHTER)
I said I'd never do this again!
MAN: Yeah, I know. My wife said she'd divorce me if I came back,
but I'm here. (LAUGHS) Yeah, I know.
Never again. But we're back. Yeah, but...
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Oh, hi! Georgia!
How you going. Sean. Sean! Nice to meet you.
SCOTT: Ronnie and Georgia's builders are also experienced.
They worked with Deb and Andy on The Oslo.
We hit the jackpot with you guys. Honestly.
Dream team! We've got the best build team.
Dream team! Dream team! I'm Ronnie, mate. How are you?
SJ Carpentry. Our little mate Scotty the chippie.
We're just dream teaming, honestly.
And you know the best part of it?
They love the banter.
Yeah, good chat! (LAUGHS)
# Teamwork, the dream work! #
OK. (LAUGHTER)
Nothing! Nup!
I just want a doughnut! They love the banter.
They get it. They get the banter.
Need the plans. MAN: Hello, guys.
As the rest of the builders arrive, there are more familiar faces.
# Sitting in the hall of fame... #
(WOMAN SHRIEKS) Keith's got his kit off!
I don't want to look.
This is the most embarrassing moment of my life.
You know what, this is the best day of my life!
Welcome to House 5. Thank you.
SCOTT: Kirsty and Jesse and the twins
each have builders who worked on The Oslo.
WOMAN: I'll miss you! (INDISTINCT)
Hello! Good morning and welcome!
Thank you! Welcome to House Number 3, purple.
Tanya and Vito are actually the only team with newbies.
I'm sure they'll get the hang of it.
And now there's just one thing missing - the plans.
Good morning, everybody!
(OVERLAPPING GREETINGS)
Scotty comes around and makes the introduction.
And by the way, these boys need no introduction.
It's our foremen, Keith and Dan!
(CHEERING)
# All will be revealed... #
Keith and Dan. Superstars. Iconic.
('KASHMIR' BY LED ZEPPELIN PLAYS)
(APPLAUSE) G'day, guys.
DAN: G'day, how are we?
And it looks like they come bearing gifts.
Nice!
Oh, yes. Guest Bedroom Week,
and you really want to know where it is, don't you?
Yes! Very much so.
MITCH: They handed out plans in a tube.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
There you go. Enjoy.
So we were super excited.
Alright, back to your houses to check out your plans!
(CHEERING) Thanks, boys!
Race them back to the house.
Mitchy, come on, let's see these, let's see these.
And we open them up...
(LAUGHTER)
Like, ping, no plan.
That's what we have to make.
That's beautiful! We're building that.
What kind of channel like Channel 9 would let these amateurs
just rock up and build whatever they want?
Thanks. Thanks, Scotty. (LAUGHS)
That's what I've been waiting for this whole time.
Oh, my god. Righteo, where's the actual plans?
There are no plans. There are no plans!
It seems to me that we have got some...
Free rein. Free rein, yep.
Awesome.
But can I just ask, do they all have no plans?
Um... I'm not so good, um, not following a plan.
Been waiting for this. The moment of truth.
(LAUGHS) What the hell?
I mean, it must be free build. It's free build.
It's a free build. Sick.
Boys, look at our plans! (LAUGHS)
That's the plan. Free build. Oh, my god!
That's the plan. Sick. Done.
(LAUGHTER)
It was a bit of a shock, but in our minds,
we took that as a free build. Do what you like, no plans.
It's gonna take me a couple of days to get through it, but...
Look, I'm happy. Georgia's not so happy.
Um, we'll work through it.
I think I'd like to get Scotty just to clarify what's going on,
'cause I've got trades that we're paying
that are hanging around doing nothing, so we need...
Do you want me to call... ..Scotty! We need to sort this out!
I'll call him over. And we'll get into it.
I'll call him over. OK, call him over!
(WHISTLES) Oh!
# 'Cause when the roof caved in and the truth came out
# I just didn't know what to do... #
How you going?
Scotty!
Hey, mate. How are you?
I'm fantastic! Amazing.
You guys must be so excited.
You can build whatever you want! Your dream home.
Well, on that - is that what's going on?
Yeah, it's a floor plate that we're giving you,
and you can go to that floor plate.
That's killer.
Let's break it down.
Each house has a different floor plate.
In order to meet residential code,
everyone must build within their floor plate.
This avoids the need for lengthy council approvals,
and makes this floor plan twist possible.
Oh, and that includes going up -
ie, if you have one storey to start with,
you can't add a second.
Make no mistake -
this is a huge task.
When designing a house,
first you have to work out where you put your bedrooms,
then your wet rooms like bathrooms and laundry,
and you'll want enough space left over
for an impressive kitchen.
Then there are other factors,
like getting enough natural light into your living areas.
I think the obvious thing for me is that that's north.
Yeah. Yes.
Living, sun, swimming pool right there.
Swimming pool! We don't talk about...
Let's call it a body corporate meeting!
(LAUGHTER)
Well, this is unbelievable!
It's the first time in Block history that you design it, build it.
Free rein. You can do whatever you want.
I'm assuming this is... Out here's gonna be, like, living and...
100%. Living, kitchen here. And if, with second storey...
We're hoping to do, like... Master ensuite if we can.
Can't do a second storey. Can't do second storey?
'Cause that means we'd have to put it in plans,
and it wouldn't be cleared for 12 weeks.
So what you've got here is what you've got.
You've got such a beautiful north-facing, uninterrupted...
Because they're not allowed to go up either.
Great. The only people that are up
are Jesse and Kirsty, 'cause they're already up.
'Cause they're already up. Got you. OK.
The other guys can't put another storey on.
Yeah. That's not part of ResCode.
You just happen to have that already, so that's part of it.
So we're the only two-storey house? Yep.
Oh, yes!
We're here to win. We're here to have a go. We'll do our best.
It's gonna be the most amount of work.
If we can finish every room and keep the style and the quality,
I think we will win.
He's very confident, isn't he?
I've never seen him this confident! Crikey!
# Blue skies smiling at me
# Nothing but blue skies
# Do I see... #
# Blue skies shining at me
# Nothing but blue sky do I see! #
(LAUGHTER) I see some clouds, mate.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah. Always negative!
(LAUGHTER) In the plans. Right.
No, but let's look at the positives of this plan.
Let's look at the plan.
It's Guest Bedroom Week, but it is also Floor Plan Week.
So, it's open slather. It's open slather.
That's what you boys are good at. Design away.
If you get it wrong from that first room,
wrong location, wrong proportion,
you are (BLEEP) from week one.
Bleep!
(MAN BEHIND CAMERA LAUGHS) Oh. Sorry.
You are absolutely scallywagged for the rest of the program.
So, Mitch, we're likely to go one of these would be the guest bedroom.
I've got a lot of faith in my Mark.
Mark is so good at plans. Well...
So I kind of left them with him.
Mitch and Mark have decided to put the living,
kitchen and dining areas to the north
to capture the natural warmth and light,
which means the bedrooms are on the south side,
including the guest bedroom
they'll be delivering this Sunday.
So at least when we started, we first had that.
# You know I'll follow you... #
GEORGIA: We're just sitting down with our builders
and we're nutting out a floor plan.
We're measuring up our slab,
and then we're gonna start designing our house.
So, no pressure to get it right, guys, OK?
(LAUGHTER)
It's like, lock in the plans for your whole house.
You know, that is huge!
Let's just start smashing down some walls in the inside.
Start destroying. We can make it up as we go along.
Do you want to? No... No!
I'm thinking to myself,
we've got a room we need to build this week.
What are we putting on this side?
Stop! You have to...
We don't have to worry about that now!
We've got to worry about this bedroom!
You have to worry about a holistic view,
because you need a whole floor plan that works.
Yeah, I get it.
I was like, "You don't understand!"
We have to figure out the floor plan,
because that affects where the room's gonna go.
You just plonk a room there, now we're really, like,
limited to what else is gonna be around it.
We need to have laundry, we need to have a bathroom.
We have to lock this in now. That's the floor plan.
So back to the room that we've got to finish this week.
(LAUGHS) What's the priority?
Right now? Right now? Getting this right.
OK. This room. How do we get this right?
You have to know what you're doing over there.
OK, figure it out! You're the designer! Let's go!
I get it, but we had to make a start.
SCOTT: You know what? We might check back in with you guys a bit later.
I wonder how the twins are going.
What are you trying to go? Like, three bedroom, four bedroom?
Four. We want four,
but the thing is, now the space... It's only small.
Our family's been in real estate for 30 years.
You know, I've sold with my dad
three-bedroom homes and four-bedroom homes,
whether they even want to use the fourth bedroom or not,
it doesn't matter, they will pay more money for it.
And at the end of the day, we're here to make
as much money as we can.
But we can't squeeze a fourth bedroom into current plan.
Is it important to do, like, a garage?
Can we use that space as the home
and just have, like, an outdoor garage area?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
How are we going, lads? Winning? Good, mate.
Yeah, we're coming up with a bit of a plan now.
Originally we were gonna do a double garage
and we just didn't have enough space, so, we thought to flip it,
'cause this is the only way for us to get four bedrooms.
To get four bedrooms, yeah. Yeah.
So, the area that we had originally as a garage,
you want to use that in the house now?
Yep. 100%. Yep.
SCOTT: The twins have a concrete slab at the front of their property
which is intended as a two-car garage.
But they're planning on using that floor space
for a master bedroom and ensuite.
Then they would convert the front of the actual house slab
into a single-car garage.
If not, we're gonna have to do three bedroom,
'cause obviously we can't go up. Yep.
And... We want as much space...
..that's gonna hit us come auction day.
You want four bedrooms, 'cause then your property value's gonna go up.
Yep. OK.
MAN: So this could be a potential game changer?
Definite game changer. Yeah, this is a game changer.
We're pulling ourselves out of the race with the three-bedroom houses.
We know, for the all-stars especially,
if you're gonna be competing with them on the same level,
it's gonna be very, very difficult.
So we're pulling away from them,
'cause we're offering potential buyers something very different.
Living space... Over garage space.
..always gonna be more important than parking space.
# I'm so misunderstood, but I live for this
# My money's good, and I came to win
# So step on up and I promise you
# Only one of us gon' make it out alive and it's not you
# (Cutthroat) Only one of us
# (Only one of us gon' make it out alive)
# Cutthroat! #
# Wanna get to know you, yeah
# 'Cause there's something 'bout your smile
# That I can't quite place... #
We came last in the House Decider Challenge, but we feel like we won,
'cause we've got three bedrooms already done.
Oh, they're the rooms that people... Have already done. Yeah.
We're gonna change it up and keep that as the guest bedroom.
And we get three free beds. We get to keep everything inside them.
Massive. That's huge. That's pretty cool, isn't it?
That's unbelievable. Yeah, I know!
# Tell me what you want... #
SCOTT: By keeping the three challenge bedrooms,
Tanya and Vito pretty much have a ready-made floor plan,
including the guest bedroom they need to create this week.
I think there is a bit of an advantage that the house challenge,
there were the three bedrooms, we thought,
OK, these are definitely where the bedrooms are going.
MAN: Of course, the disadvantage is
you've got people living in it. (CHUCKLES)
(LAUGHS) Oh! The disadvantage is that, yes, uh...
that was pretty much gonna be
the last night that... Oh, of course! Yes!
..Kirsty and Jesse will be living in that room.
SCOTT: Now, rule 511 of The Block rulebook stipulates
that whoever wins the challenge house
keeps everything from the challenge rooms.
But isn't that Kirsty and Jesse
removing furnishings from their winning room?
JESSE: It's gonna be a few trips.
KIRSTY: Ah, it's all good. We've got nearly all of it.
Just got to get the bed. The bed's the hard one.
Um, yeah. Someone on the crew had sort of said,
"Uh, guys, you want to check. There's stuff being moved out."
I can just carry that.
Kirsty and I just had a little bit of a moment.
Nothing... Nothing honestly that bad.
Well, we're taking... We're keeping your bed.
What do you mean you're keeping our bed?
We're keeping all three beds.
They started to try take the beds
after they knew that we wanted to keep the beds.
We wanted to keep the beds 'cause...
If you're allowed to do it, (BLEEP) keep it then. Whatever.
Yeah, it'll save us some cash. Um, and they said to us...
They said to us we can keep anything we want. We can give you guys
whatever we want and we can keep whatever we want.
We just want to keep the beds
because it's one less thing we have to think about.
Hey, I'm cheering. I don't have to carry this (BLEEP) bed out, so...
(LAUGHS)
I felt awful, but I was like, "Guys, I'm so sorry,
"but we want to keep the beds because they're awesome.
"You can have everything else."
You don't want the bed head? Nup. No. You can have it.
It's cute as!
Yeah, so, you can have it then. And those are so cute.
Yeah, you can have it.
It just... It was... Look, it's fine, but, you know,
I said, "Take your bed head. It's really cute."
And she was like, "Well, if it's so cute, you should keep it."
(LAUGHS) Oops. Sorry!
Awkward! Awkward!
OK. VITO: Oh, thanks, guys!
Bye! Sorry!
JESSE: Yeah, thanks for the eviction notice. Yeah...
MAN: Was Tanya a bit peeved
when you started trying to take all the stuff?
I don't think so. Uh, she didn't say she was.
But you just never know.
See you, guys! See you, mate.
I'll miss you! Sure you will.
(LAUGHS)
Maybe she has a nice smiley face on the outside, and inside she's...
And as we're walking away, she's like...
(LAUGHS)
SCOTT: It's day one of The Block,
and there's already cracks forming between some of the contestants.
Let me bring you up to speed.
Tanya and Vito got House 3,
which was also the house used for the 48-hour challenge.
Tanya and Vito technically own
everything in those challenge bedrooms.
But Kirsty and Jesse tried to take their old bed.
Oh - and during said challenge,
Kirsty and Jesse also got on the wrong side of the twins.
(ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
MAN: Hey, did we even cover what's going on between the twins
and Kirsty and Jesse? No.
The goss that I heard, the hot goss,
was that one of the twins -
can't remember, 'cause they look the same...
..but one of them was a little bit irritated
with how Kirsty spoke to him.
You know the rules are that only contestants can paint?
Who told you that?
Well, I mean, that's, like, the number-one rule on the show.
There's two people in the world.
There's dibber dobbers or people that just look the other way.
We're not... We're not rats.
Oh, hot goss. Tell me more. And you witnessed this?
No, they were telling me this! Wow.
People tell me stuff! That's full-on.
I was like, "Drama! Drama!" But wasn't Tanya involved?
Didn't Tanya have an incident with...
Yeah! Yeah! Then Tanya had a little incident with Kirsty.
I think it was something to do with the bed.
We're keeping your bed.
What do you mean you're keeping our bed?
We're keeping all three beds. What you mean?
We're allowed to, so we're keeping all three beds 'cause...
We're giving you everything else.
The house they chose was the room where the 48-hour challenge was in.
If you win that house, you get to keep everything in there.
Fair call. But then Tanya was like,
"You can have all your stuff, I just want to keep the beds."
'Cause I think she's thinking, "I can reuse these beds in rooms,
"that doesn't come out of my budget."
And then I think Kirsty was, like...
a little bit rude, maybe. Ooh!
TANYA: I did alright. Was that really bitchy of me, or nah?
Let the games begin.
Yeah, that was an awkward conversation and I felt...
I felt... I still felt bad.
We hugged it out and we were fine.
Too easy. No, all good. Thanks.
Well, I'm glad that's sorted.
We've had some drama already. I'm sure you're up-to-date.
Hang on a minute. Maybe it's not so fine.
Well, our neighbours, who we thought were our friends,
went into our bedroom and started taking all of their stuff
without asking me.
So it's the gorgeous cute little bed head.
She turns around and goes,
"If it's so gorgeous and cute, you can have it."
So she's the mean girl.
Definitely not fine!
She came in and started taking (BLEEP) out without even asking me.
LUKE: They're rude, real rude.
I said, "Take everything you want, we just want your bed."
And she's like, "So you're not giving me a bed to sleep on?"
I said, "But we're allowed to keep it."
That's right! And Jesse goes,
"But we want our bed." I said, "Look, your bed head's beautiful,
"your chandelier's beautiful."
She goes, "Well, if it's so cute, then why don't you have it?"
On camera! And I'm done. I'm done too. (BLEEP)
No, I'm done with them. They can (BLEEP) off.
I'm off Kirsty and Jesse. I want them off my site.
I don't want to see them. They can stay on their site.
If they're gonna be rude, not help... No, I'm serious!
I'm done with it.
Venting. (LAUGHS) Venting. Quick vent. Quick vent.
Do you feel better now? It's alright. I feel better.
We've let it out. We've let it out. (LAUGHS)
We've let it out.
Oh, and they're across the street, so they can... (LAUGHS)
We've got each other. They can stay across the street.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
# I promise that you'll never find another like me
# I know that I'm a handful, baby, uh... #
WOMAN: Do you think there are any alliances forming?
Alliances? Any alliances out there? What do you think?
Well, it's... So, the other couples are close together,
so, Josh and Luke, Tanya and Vito are close together.
And you'd think the faves would hang together as well, you know?
Whereas we are over there by ourselves. So, yeah.
There probably is alliances. But who cares?
(LAUGHS)
SCOTT: These two don't have time for drama.
The owners of the only two-storey house,
they've got double the floor plan of everyone else to work out.
It looks like the biggest and the hardest house,
so we're gonna have to... Work hard.
..hook in and work harder than everyone else.
But we will. We will.
We were the first ones up this morning.
First ones up this morning. Got into it.
Got all our stuff sorted before the builders even arrived,
so, that's our plan just to... Yeah.
Hook in the whole 12 weeks.
Let us tell you what we thought of. Yeah, sure, mate. Yeah, yeah.
They'll also be the only team
with an architectural draftsman amongst their builders.
That's someone who:
So no-one else is gonna have a physical set of plans, but we are.
That's why we picked them. They're the best!
It's gonna save us a lot of money, I think.
Look at the space.
You don't want a small kitchen, you don't want a small dining area.
So, yeah, I reckon three upstairs, one downstairs.
And the master needs to be grand. Yeah.
We're so lucky to have him on our team.
We have a plan of the top, because that's quite easy,
'cause there's a frame up. So, yeah, so, I have a plan upstairs.
# I'm a straight shooter... #
They will make upstairs a sleeping zone,
including this week's guest bedroom.
This is, like, make or break for us. Definitely. Yep.
Both being coming from the music industry,
we've been through a really hard time in the past 12 months.
So to be given an opportunity like this, we're not gonna waste it.
We've just got to stay focused, stay on track.
Keep your eye on the prize. Eye on the prize.
# This is my battle cry. #
('DOUBLE BUBBLE TROUBLE' BY MIA PLAYS)
GEORGIA: Day one of The Block,
you've got to make 50 million decisions like that.
I'm guessing... So, we had to talk to Velux.
I literally just said I need a skylight and you walked in!
Come on!
Kinsman. The room fill is 3.6 x 4.
Carpet Court.
We're not... We're looking for a curtain.
Curtains? Yeah.
Yep, yep. That's cool.
# I thank God every day (Uh-huh)
# That I woke up feeling this way... #
Kinsman. You literally are doing, like, a Zoom consult,
and you've got 20 minutes to lock that in.
So, Phil... Yep.
Yeah, you close that door,
'cause this is about to get serious, my friend.
We have no plans this season,
so it's up to us to figure out what it's gonna be.
So I basically just want the best wardrobe on The Block
throughout my whole house. Yep, let's do it.
So what do we have to do to make this happen, people?
JESSE: Hey, g'day. Hi, I'm Morgan
from Kinsman Wardrobes. Morgan. Nice to meet you, yeah!
Kinsman came out to, like, measure up
and, like, show us, like... plan out where...
It's called a consult, darl. Consult! Consult. Righto.
(CHUCKLES)
So, this... So, you're here for a... So, um, do I have to order...?
Yeah, this has to go into production tonight.
OK. Alright?
Not to put you under stress or anything!
Yeah, that's very frightening.
SCOTT: And when it comes to wardrobe consults,
you can spot an all-star from a mile off.
Like, you don't even have time to think about it,
so you have to have a... You've got to know your overall vision, right?
Like, what do I want?
I'm really loving at the moment, as a design trend,
think, like, a Caesarstone with a super, like, dramatic vein.
In this room, I think I'm gonna put it as a countertop on a desk.
Jesse, do you know, for the rest of the house,
the look and feel that you're after?
The look and feel? Yeah.
Um, I think we're... It's honestly...
Kirsty is all over that, my wife.
But I am going, like, warm. Warm greys.
Think natural linens, like hessian, kind of like that colour palette.
So, you know, not white, not grey.
Like, we're going, like...warm.
It'd just be, like... Like, Hamptons look, you know?
Like, lots of white. Yep, light and fresh.
Pale, like, eggshell sort of...
I don't know... colours and stuff like that.
Yeah? Um... Um...
And sorry, mate, it was Phil, was it?
I was halfway through saving a... Phil, yeah.
I'll just save that... Yep. P-H-I-L.
# Honey, we don't need no fake magic... #
SCOTT: Over in House 4,
the twins may not be all-stars, but they're faking it till they make it.
Did you guys design Kinsman wardrobes before?
We haven't, but we have been in and had a chat with Kinsman previously,
so we've got a bit of an idea of what we want to do.
We decided that we're gonna use glass doors for our wardrobes.
Modern. It's modern, it's new,
and we're wanting to take some risks
and do things that people haven't done in the past on The Block.
It's gonna be really modern. This home is gonna be probably
the most modern home on The Block. OK.
It'll look good. It'll look good. I'm sure it will.
It is actually a look that we're looking to do.
Yep. Great.
Yeah, sounds great.
We had a great meeting with Kinsman.
They're more than happy to work with us, so...
'Cause... Ah, let me start again.
So... (BEEP)
They're really keen to help us with this look
that's never been done before on The Block,
and, you know, it's something yet again
which we're trying to bring in new that hasn't been done before,
because that's what we're trying to achieve.
Yep. And... (BEEP)
See, this is why I don't like doing OTS with Luke.
See how I didn't get one word in?
I didn't think that. I thought you spoke just as much as me.
I did n...! You would have to watch it on the replay.
I stood there. Every time there was a question asked...
Am I speaking too much?
Yes! You don't even let me answer! You're straight in,
and then I try to come in and speak
and then you keep going and going.
Then next time, just... You don't even let me put in a word.
Then just speak more. That's sweet. I will! I'm trying to!
That's why I'm letting you know. Yeah, that's fine. You do that.
OK. I don't mean to. I'm sorry.
No, it's alright. I'm sorry.
Just next time. Alright.
Come here. I'm sorry. You speak as much as you want.
You've got a voice here. Alright? Yeah. My voice needs to be heard.
You have a voice. Alright? Yeah! (CHUCKLES)
This is Luke and Josh.
No, it's Josh and Luke.
MAN: Oh, Josh and Luke? Oh, Josh and Luke.
Josh and Luke. Robert. Oh, man.
SCOTT: In House 2,
Mitch and Mark are dividing up the day's tasks.
While Mark holds the fort...
# Alright, alright, alright, alright... #
..Mitch is out hunting down furnishings.
# Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, OK, now ladies
# Yeah! #
On The Oslo, Mitch and Mark were famous for their bold, flashy style.
# Happy here... #
But this season, they're going in with a very different style brief -
safe.
I hope the judges, when they walk in,
knowing that it's Mitch and Mark doing that house,
are a bit shocked.
But that's a big commitment. No, that's too polarising.
And shocked by it's so different from what we did last time.
But this will go through the whole house.
And I hope that's a positive shock,
that it's got a softness and a romantic feel to it.
More subtle.
Mitch designing a subtle room?
And that's white, is it?
I've got to see this!
We're not a one-trick pony.
We know about styling a house.
They actually work nicely, don't they?
Any interior designer has to be able to meet the brief,
as opposed to impart their style on other people.
('OH YEAH' BY YELLO PLAYS)
I decided on a wool loop carpet.
It's got sort of a bit of grey, a bit of sand,
which kind of fits the feel that I want to go for with this house.
I better get back to the ranch now! Hooroo!
(BOINGING SOUND EFFECT)
Coming up, it's fans versus faves.
Vito, he's a very clean man, isn't he?
He's too clean!
Oh, my god! The room's actually finished!
They're using a challenge room!
We found out that he's actually doing the challenge room.
So that's why it's clean. Yeah!
If he's gonna be reusing that and if it doesn't have insulation,
then he's gonna have problems.
VITO: There's no plans!
There's nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
WOMAN: Vito, how do you feel about being part of the first season
of The Block and there are no floor plans?
I knew right then and there
that that was not gonna go down well with Mr Vito.
Because he is a structured... I am such a visual,
structural... I am visual. Give me plans.
"Show me how to do something and I'll copy you exactly."
SCOTT: Fortuitously for Vito, as luck would have it,
House Number 3 came with three pre-done bedrooms
from the House Decider Challenge,
including Kirsty and Jesse's winning room.
Jesse and Kirsty had already done their beautiful little room.
Good job, darling.
They won the challenge.
And so we kept the walls and everything that was already there,
because, as far as we knew, if they won,
must have been pretty good. Yep.
They won. Let's do their room a million times better.
And if we say that, big deal. They'll know.
Like, they won. They were obviously onto something.
We just finished it.
We ran with it and we made it our own.
What about the cladding like that? Can we get some sort of...
MAN: Nah, we're gonna go natural oak.
Yeah, beautiful.
You're gonna deliver that as a guest bedroom?
Yes. With the cladding and everything?
No. We're gonna make it our own. No, we're gonna...
(LAUGHTER) We're gonna change it up.
KEITH: So the structure, you aren't gonna touch?
Yeah, but we're gonna make it our own.
Well, so you are gonna redo this?
Well, you're obviously gonna paint it again, I know that.
Oh, absolutely. It's coming out.
Like, most of what's in there is coming out.
Yeah, yeah, start again. I mean, we love the wood,
because this is again very mid-century style.
It brings your eye line up.
But we'll rip that out and put in some beautiful timber.
We're gonna make it our own.
Our space, which is awesome, was already there.
Um, so, do we need...
Yeah, at the moment.
Recycling a challenge room isn't really standard Block procedure,
and a couple of the all-stars have noticed
that Vito's shirt is a little too clean for demo day.
Vito, he's a very clean man, isn't he?
I actually smelt his aftershave as I walked past him.
He's too clean. Do you reckon he's finished his demo?
Maybe he's just way more organised than us.
You know, Mitch and I thought that Vito,
he was looking very clean, smelt good.
How's it going?
I'm well, how are you? Yeah, good, yeah, not bad.
How's it all going? Yeah, good.
You smell good, man. Do I?
You know, 'cause we are filthy, we're full of dust.
How do you stay clean? You know what? I'll tell you.
Come on. Come here. I'll tell you how I stay clean.
Come here, Mitch! Come here. Come. Come.
Oh! Oh, my god. The room's actually finished!
They're using a challenge room!
But then we found out that he's actually doing the challenge room.
So that's why he's clean. Yeah!
How good. Oh, it makes sense now.
You've got to understand, in those 48-hour challenges,
the rooms are not done to spec. They're not done correctly.
They've literally just, on there with bubblegum.
If he's gonna be reusing that and if it doesn't have insulation,
then he's gotta have problems.

SCOTT: And that's tools down for day one of the new Block.
For the experienced teams, it's been hard but manageable.
We're going to bed. Georgia is already in bed.
She's worked so hard today.
For the inexperienced, I'm sure it's been overwhelming,
and they're all looking forward to a good night's sleep.
Yeah, really tired today.
Sometimes you need a really good, good rest.
With the exception of Kirsty and Jesse, who are mattress-less...
Righteo, bedtime. (CHUCKLES) Got the light?
..and sleeping in the laundry
after Tanya claimed their bed from the challenge.
Comfy!
We do want to keep the beds for our own rooms.
I think they're an awesome advantage to have,
and it's one less thing we have to buy, so...
Does she not know that Forty Winks was a sponsor? You get free beds?
Well, that's all-stars intellectual property
that we put in our back pocket and we know that 'cause we've done it.
Newbies maybe don't know that.
So she's just collecting beds. (LAUGHS)
It wasn't a nice thing to have to do,
but, you know, it's a competition.
And we're not that competitive, to be honest,
but that moment was like, "Take everything but the beds."
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
Well, it's better than being in the mud and the rain.
Yeah, you're right. Lights out?
Lights out. Goodnight.
(CHUCKLES)
Tomorrow night, the faves...
Good to see you cleaning up as usual, mate.
..show the fans how it's done.
You guys are killing me.
We got this.
Except for the 'no floor plans' part.
I'm out. I'm out!
It's day two, mate!
Enter Block architect Julian Brenchley.
Just what the doctor ordered!
But in some houses...
You're gonna have to go back and address all of that,
'cause that doesn't work.
..his advice isn't welcome.
There was a bit of a face-off. There was a bit of tension there.
I respect your thought process there, Julian.
