Go the Matildas!
I don't know whether people know the rules and that
about people coming on site and being inducted.
SCOTTY: In a first ever on The Block,
a Body Corp was called in Week Two.
I just don't want that to be the excuse
where we're now bending the rules.
(SLURPS)
And I think we all just need to be reminded of the rules.
And new rivalries were formed.
Can I just explain why I'm...
But you're not letting anyone else explain.
I didn't really like the way Kyle handled that meeting.
It seemed very personal.
He's gonna have to talk to me sooner or later.
Ooh! Damn. Drama in The Block.
Leah and Kyle face off.
Leah and I aren't gonna be best buddies.
LEAH: Have you got any kind of issue with me?
KYLE: I just wanted everyone to have a chance to have an opinion.
Yeah.
That's a problem.
There's blow-ups in House Three.
BRETT: We're doing the (BLEEP) ceiling!
KRISTY: How do you suggest I get up there
when you've got the (BLEEP) ladder?
It's his way or the highway and like, I can't do anything.
And big prizes up for grabs.
$20,000.
$10,000 cash.
Cash money, baby.
# Oh the ground underneath my feet was cold
# I wasn't looking for you... #
SCOTTY: Our teams are halfway through the week
but have a long weekend ahead of them
before they must reveal their studio rooms to the judges.
# But I was always ready but unready for what this might do... #
In House Three, Kristy's attention isn't on her studio room.
She is instead
looking after neighbours and new house guests Leah and Ash.
Morning. Morning.
Our lovely neighbours in House Two
actually had to demo their bedroom this week.
So, they asked if they could come and stay in our house
'cause we had an extra bedroom.
PRODUCER: Did you guys sleep in separate beds?
ASH: No.
Oh, we didn't all sleep together.
No. No.
I'm really unclear on what's going on.
ASH: It wasn't that spicy. Yeah.
It wasn't that exciting.
Last night was our first sleepover at Kristy and Brett's.
Yeah. Excuse me. Their house.
(YAWNS)
Clearly slept well.
What rating would you give to Kristy and Brett's Airbnb?
Oh, yeah.
Well, I was really desperate for some water.
I'm gonna give it 8.5 because there's no breakfast.
KRISTY: That. That's fair.
Because they were reviewing me as an Airbnb
I did have to deliver them breakfast while they were in bed.
Hi, guys.
Just gotta get my scores up. Oh!
Yes! (LAUGHTER)
We should stay here every day.
# You got a screw loose... #
SCOTTY: Next door in House Four,
married couple Steph and Gian are waking up after a big night.
GIAN: Had a late night last night insulating.
PRODUCER: Oh, did you? Yeah. I Went to bed around 3:30am.
We got our framing approved at 6pm last night
so we wanted to make sure that come this morning,
insulation was done and we can start plastering.
'Cause from the end of today no more power tools
'cause of the long weekend.
So...
Yep. Big day.
SCOTTY: Steph and Gian are presenting their studio styled
as a bedroom with a floating wall of cabinetry acting as a bedhead,
and a roaring fireplace as the main feature of the room.
So, by the end of today we needed to get the whole room sheeted
with gyprock,
and we had to install our Kinsman joinery.
And install the flooring and rough in.
And the flooring.
There was a lot. Thursday was big. Big day, big day.
Thursday was gonna be big, it was always going to be big.
Big day.
Next door in House Five,
Eliza has got up early... (SCRUBBING SOUNDS)
to put the final polish on her pearly whites.
But like, you have to clean your teeth here.
Like, you already feel so scummy.
So you need to have at least something polished, you know?
This is her time in the morning.
She goes in there and just like, has a sit for a while.
It's like her one time of the day just like, have a sit,
have a little, breather.
And then she'll be set for the day.
Honestly like, we've got (BLEEP) to do this morning.
I've got to measure some stuff,
I've got to work out the rest of our styling.
Like, we've got quite a few things to do.
I was like, choppity (BLEEP) chop.
# Welcome to the madhouse
# You've never seen a place like this before
# Welcome to the madhouse... #
SCOTTY: Now that she's stepped away from the toothbrush,
Eliza is checking-in on her builders
and is happy with their studio progress so far.
We're good. So, we're off to a good start.
Plastering's done.
Floor's done.
Cabinetry's nearly there on all levels.
Tools down at 6pm tonight and then
that's it because there's public holidays,
everyone's going home to their families, loved ones, having a rest.
But we shall slog on through.
Eliza and Liberty's studio will have a work-from-home space,
kitchenette,
sofa bed,
and wall paper featuring an old map of the city of Melbourne.
(CAR HORN TOOTS)
But for some reason have chosen to use THIS section of Melbourne
where the house is in Hampton East.
I feel like we're in a good spot
but I really don't like saying that out loud
'cause then things go wrong.
And like, I feel like Keith and Dan,
when you say those "We're doing well" words,
they like, somehow hear it,
and then they show up and they deliberately find something.
# I guess I'm always gonna be the bad child... #
SCOTTY: Well, it seems Keith only has eyes for House Three
this morning.
KEITH: Morning.
KIRSTY: Keith, how are we? BRETT: Keith.
Good morning, mate.
How are you? Good.
Looking good. Yeah.
It's coming together.
So, being that today's the last day of power tools,
I actually think that we're in a really good position.
Got all this painted last night. Yeah, mate.
All finished?
Yep. Got undercoat and two coats on that.
And then just left it high
so we can have more plaster attached to the bottom part.
OK.
6pm tonight, cut off for power tools for the rest of the week.
Yeah. Till Reveal.
So, if you're gonna use power tools, today's the day.
SCOTTY: Kristy and Brett's studio will be a bedroom
that will include a kitchenette, with a fridge,
and a built-in desk.
What have you got left with power tools?
So, power tools, we'll be installing these Kinsman wardrobes here.
Yep.
Also the cabinetry that we've made up for the kitchenette.
So, that will require a bit to fit that in further along on the desk.
I can't see any issues though. Yeah.
You're in a good position.
I don't think we'll probably need them.
And maybe from 2pm onwards we probably wouldn't even need them.
Well, Dan's done a great job this week, your team has.
The room looks great. Yep.
You guys are in a great position. Awesome, mate. Love to hear it.
Awesome. Good to hear. Well done.
BOTH: Thank you. Just hopefully your styling's good.
You're a big chance this week, I reckon.
We'll see how we go.
All on you, Kristy. It's all on me this week.
(LAUGHS)
Everyone's on track and I think everyone's enjoying this,
and we'll all be on track eventually.
SCOTTY: With Kristy and Brett well on track,
it frees them up for a bit of spying on the neighbours,
in particular, Kyle and Leslie in House One.
House One does keep to themselves.
They don't often come out
and they do always have their shield, like, they've got tarps up.
So you can't really go in there.
So, it's not very inviting.
We've heard rumours around that last week they had black plastic up,
and I heard it was so that no-one was looking in.
But the reason that Kyle and Leslie have taped up their studio windows
is a little less sinister
as their windows currently don't have any glass.
PRODUCER: Why did you put your sheets over your windows and doors
and things?
Just to keep the heat in 'cause it's cold.
We had the heater running last night.
So, if everything was open then it would have just done nothing.
'Cause this was only done yesterday afternoon
so we wanted to just make sure that it was definitely going to be dry.
Once the glass goes in that one can come down.
I definitely do think it could be a game plan, strategic.
Are they trying to hide again?
Just keep the rabbits out. Yeah.
I think it was possibly...
We're the rabbits. (LAUGHS)
What do you mean?
It's 'cause the guy's bloody spray-gunning.
Aren't they painting?
Kyle and Leslie have never really been secretive
about what they're doing in their space, with us.
They're not secretive with us at all.
You just have to go ask them.
Like, everyone is actually really open
but people fail to just ask questions.
('COMING HOME' BY SHEPPARD PLAYS)
SCOTTY: Our teams are working hard in their studios
on the last day of power tools
before the long weekend hits The Block.
(STRAINS)
In House five, Eliza and Liberty
need to start tiling around the kitchenette sink in their studio,
but Eliza has forgotten
they needed to organise a water-proofer
before the tiles can be laid.
So Eliza has called fellow contestant Kristy,
to see if she has a water-proofer on site she can borrow.
Ours is just getting done now and Aaron said that
he can head over and do your waterproofing straight after.
ELIZA: Oh, my god! Amazing, amazing, amazing.
Yeah?
If you don't mind, that's awesome.
MAN: What are they gonna do to get him here?
Well, someone's coming now. Right this minute.
Yeah, we're borrowing Kristy's. MAN: Is he single?
Is he single?
I don't know. Kri... He... Anyway...
Do you know what?
I actually can't think of anything like that
when we're doing normal day-to-day stuff.
In this environment I literally can't think of it.
SCOTTY: I guess priorities really do change on The Block.
Or do they?
Someone smells good. It's not me.
Not me. It's not me.
It is. I'd smell you but we only just met.
Yeah. Thank you so much...
That's OK. ..for this.
This is the spot. We're going to do like, six subway tiles.
Yep.
Do you want me to get them for you so you can see?
No, that's alright. You've got some tiles in here.
Oh yeah, that's them. Yep. No worries.
I'll just go get sticky tape and I'll come back.
Thank you so much.
(BELL TINKLES)
Do not even look at him, Eliza.
Is he... Don't even try and get him...
No, not as in, poaching.
That's what... Yeah. I was just cracking on.
I wasn't cracking on.
I think he's single.
He's about 12 years old, mate.
He's definitely not.
He's thirty... Thirty-six, I reckon.
Shut up!
Yeah. You're making that up.
I'll ask him when he comes in. Oh, my god, don't ask questions.
It's very awkward.
We can't be intimidating trades. They'll never come back.
SCOTTY: As Eliza puts finding a husband on the back burner,
her sister Liberty is putting on the after burners
and heading to the shops.
# Tell me who's that girl
# Just walk, walk, walked in the club... #
There's so many things to think of with styling.
That's why I had to be organised earlier in the week,
to map out exactly what I needed for every single space.
So, hence why I needed to go to so many homewares stores.
Hello. How are you?
Great to see you. I feel like I haven't seen you in days.
I haven't seen like, people. I know.
I've been alone shopping. It feels good.
I know. So good to see you.
SCOTTY: And in an unlikely turn of events,
Kristy and Leslie, who have really spent no time together,
are going shopping, together.
We are off. We're shopping. Girls be shopping.
Is that the saying?
This should be interesting.
(INDICATOR TICKS)
# Round, round, get around I get around
# Yeah... # Smell it.
(SNIFFS) Eugh!
Why do you like that smell? Are you joking?
(SNIFFS)
(INDICATOR TICKS)
We're gonna have a little playground.
We're gonna have some fun on the playground, hey?
Let's do it.
I have a pretty good sense of direction usually.
Oh, right. Usually.
(LAUGHTER)
(STEPH SNARLS)
That's creepy!
LIBERTY: Colouring in together in a playground
in the middle of a homemaker centre
is really where you can connect and do your best work.
It's been great to catch up, eh? Love it.
(INDICATOR TICKS)
Mmm.
Noice.
SCOTTY: Back at The Block in House Two,
Leah is still hung up by the tension she feels
with Kyle in House One
after the body corporate meeting earlier this week.
Since Monday, the whole thing with Kyle
was starting to just go round and round in my head,
and it was really starting to affect me.
And I just explain why I'm...
But you're not letting anyone else explain.
(SLURPS)
LEAH: What have I done to Kyle?
I couldn't think about it.
Could not even... just couldn't think what I'd done.
And when things affect me that much I can't help but just confront it.
SCOTTY: Being so worked up, Leah's going to confront super calm Kyle.
Cue the awkwardness.
LEAH: Have you got any kind of issue with me?
KYLE: No. OK.
I just...
I just wanted everyone to have a chance to have an opinion.
It was probably a very daunting situation for everyone.
Yeah, it was. I just didn't want Steph and Gian also
to feel like they just didn't have a heads up
'cause they thought it was about real estate agents
and stuff like that.
Oh, OK. Yeah.
Oh, no, we'll probably call another one for that too.
No, not really.
Yeah, and I just don't want anyone's intention to like,
target Steph and Gian.
No.
But then yeah, I just felt like we can still have a discussion
and then still do a body corp.
Yeah, yeah. OK. No, and that's a fair point.
I still really stick by
that it was the perfect forum for that discussion.
He had conflicting opinions on that and that's completely fine.
It wasn't his body corp, it was mine.
(LAUGHS) You can call one.
'Cause I feel like I'd only just gotten to even say my bit
and I was like, can I please speak?
And then I think, I don't know,
something to the effect of well, you've already been talking.
But I felt like I hadn't.
Yeah, I took the opportunity to say
look, I didn't think we handled it well.
I didn't really think that
you gave people an opportunity to give an opinion.
And then just said I don't have an issue.
I'm not trying to deliberately avoid you.
Anyway, look, I think we've all had good points.
I just... Oh, it's just been bugging me.
Yeah.
And I thought I'm just gonna get you for two seconds.
Yeah, that's cool.
But I'm so happy just now that... To know that nothing...
No, I honestly don't. Yeah.
I'm not trying to hide away or anything like that.
I'm just like... Busy.
It's a short week and we've got so much to do.
I know.
Leah and I aren't going to be best buddies.
Like, we're different personalities.
But that doesn't mean that I'm gonna be nasty to her
or distance myself from her.
That's not who I am
and that's obviously not who she is
'cause obviously, yeah, that was great that she took the opportunity
to come over and approach me because that's probably
not something I would do.
That's just not who I am.
Yeah, I just said there's no issue.
OK, yep. Thanks, Kyle. No worries. See you. Thank you.
Thank you.
I just think I... I think I overreact.
You're just gonna be like, you think?
I definitely overreact.
Yeah. That's a problem.
And I say, oh, I'm gonna be chill, I'm gonna be chill,
and then I'm like, I am not chill!
(LAUGHS) Eugh!
SHELLEY: To be in the running for an incredible $30,000 each week
thanks to Disney Plus,
simply head online and vote for your favourite room.
And, while you're there,
don't forget to check out all our amazing room galleries.
SCOTTY: Our teams are working hard on their studios
with only three and a bit days until Reveal.
They went for such a big space for us,
it's quite hectic that there's no power tools tomorrow
and then you've literally got a day and then it's Reveal.
So it's, yeah. It's been a bit crazy.
But Gian in House Four has other things on his mind.
His focus is on the giant spa in his backyard,
left behind by the previous owners.
Do you reckon this can get running? MAN: Yeah.
Hectic. Well, you gotta get power to it.
Because we knew that we would be getting a Plungie pool,
Steph and I were talking,
we were like, how is this Plungie pool gonna fit
'cause the spa is near where it's gonna go.
So, I wanted to ask Scotty,
because it falls on our property, are we still able to sell it?
Mmm.
SCOTTY: Gian, mate. Scotty, how are you?
Very good, buddy. Lovely to see you.
You called, I came. Awesome.
I have a few questions about the spa that's here.
Yes?
Because next week I know we're gonna be bringing in our new pool.
SCOTTY: Ah, yes. There's something I need to tell you.
This year everyone is getting a pool,
and they're on me.
I'm definitely leaning towards the Arena.
The arena.
Plungie Max, will look good in that space, I think.
For sure.
The original.
It sounds like you're a Plungie Original.
Yeah, I reckon.
SCOTTY: Sorry, Gian, where were we?
Next week I know we're gonna be bringing in our new pools,
and I just wanted to kinda work out what we can do with this one.
We're thinking about potentially selling it.
Mate, well, I think selling it is a brilliant idea.
Awesome.
These things are worth about...
I think new, they're worth about 50K.
Yeah but second hand like this you might get 20 grand.
Oh, mate! Or 25 grand.
That would be a 10th of your budget.
(DING)
Some people say 20G, some people say $1,000. You know.
I think anywhere between like, $3,000 to $4,000 would be awesome.
It would be fantastic. Again, no concept.
Some people told me I'm gonna get $500 for it. So...
PRODUCER: Was it another contestant?
I was gonna say.
Kristy and Brett told you that.
I was thinking about potentially getting it operable and working...
Yes, good idea.
..so I can make it look as good as possible for having people come in.
I'm gonna put an ad up. Yeah.
If we can get it operable...
What do you reckon you'll put on it? Twenty?
I reckon 20. I wanna put 20.
'Cause you can't be sitting on it for ages.
No.
So you gott make it... Well, 20, mate, that's a whole bathroom.
Yeah. Mate.
Awesome.
This is a turning point for you, right?
I think so. I think so.
It is because you're about to get above everybody else,
a full bathroom of cash.
Oh, no, it's awesome.
Twenty grand. That's what a bathroom costs.
It's awesome. Should cost anyway.
Should. Good work.
Thanks for coming to the party, Scotty.
No worries, mate. See you. Awesome. Thanks, Scotty.
Any advantage you can get in this type of competition is awesome,
and obviously last week, everything that happened in the
high stresses we were in,
it feels like luck's turning our way,
which is nice.
PRODUCER: 'Cause you get to make money?
Oh, yeah. Get to make money,
'Cause last week we did go a bit over what I'd provisioned
for the bathroom.
For delays and everything like that
so it would be good to claw some of that back
and throw a bit more into the next room.
You're giddy with excitement.
What about for those Blockheads who want to use it?
Well, they can buy it on the ad.
I'll put the ad up and I'll send the link to our group chat.
# Losing my mind but it's alright... #
SCOTTY: Alright, let's get back to it.
With less than an hour left to the day,
everyone needs to have completed everything that requires power tools
before room reveals on Sunday.
We've been in a really good spot the whole week.
The guys got us ahead.
So, we obviously had carpet going in, we had plasterers working.
Cabinets going in.
I think we treated like, no power tools as like, the Reveal,
because we were all rushing so hard to get it.
Hey, Ash!
Twenty-five till tools down, mate. Yeah, sweet as.
I might even fit a beer in.
ASH: So, tools down today at 6pm and then no tools tomorrow.
We had to fit some stone.
Skirting boards. Like, there was a fair bit...
Yeah. There was heaps. ..to do.
On the weekend, right, we're gonna have noise restrictions...
Yeah?
I don't think that vacuum is applicable.
Just as well we've got a couple of other vacuums
that are less noisy then isn't it, Keith?
Do you know what we thought? I was gonna say.
We nearly had a heart attack yesterday
when we were by ourselves using it and it goes...
(BOTH MAKE THUMPING NOISES) Like that.
How does it go? (THUMPING AND GRUNTING)
Like that. Like it's about to explode.
Right.
Let's let Mark finish off. Yeah.
He's got lots to do.
Is there anything I can do to help you there, Mark?
Yep. Stop talking. OK.
Good job, son.
What am I doing with this? Yeah, exactly.
# If it takes all night. #
KEITH: That's it, guys. 6pm. No more power tools.
And great effort, guys. Great four days.
Yay!
(WHISTLING)
It was a bit of a push to get it done.
Our builders are... All over it.
..unbelievable
so we're not surprised that they got everything done in time.
GIAN: We're in a good position.
I actually feel like if we treated every week like this it'd be better.
All that's sort of left now is painting.
It's just us now so we're the only ones that can screw it up now.
SCOTTY: Shelley and I announce some big prizes to be won.
Beyond. Massive.
And it's anything but calm in House Three.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
BRETT: We're doing the (BLEEP) ceiling!
KRISTY: How do you suggest I get up there
when you've got the (BLEEP) ladder?
It's his way or the highway and like, I can't do anything.
(BIRDS SING)
SCOTTY: Ahh, the serenity.
It's the morning of the first day of the long weekend
and there's not a power tool in sight.
Friday was eerie.
Great. Site was super quiet.
Loved it.
I almost just wanted to let off like, a cordless drill
to make some noise because it was just silent.
It's very eerie on The Block public holiday.
I hate when it's too busy
but I also think it's kind of a bit strange when no-one's around.
Yeah, so, I've woken up this morning and just feeling relaxed.
Just on track and excited just for a calm day.
KRISTY: The roof?
BRETT: We're doing the (BLEEP) ceiling!
KRISTY: How do you suggest I get up there
when you've got the (BLEEP) ladder?
Well, I don't know, bro.
# When a fire starts to burn... #
SCOTTY: OK, let's come back to that.
First it's time for Shelley and I to check-in on the teams' progress
and let them know that this week there's some big prizes to be won.
G'day, Shell. Hello. How are you?
Let's check-in on Kyle and Leslie first
who are doing the biggest space this week
but are bravely not including a kitchenette.
Kyle and Leslie's studio will include two spaces,
a bedroom on one side
and a yoga and Pilates space on the other,
featuring a Reformer bed.
Oh, g'day, guys. Hello.
Hello.
Has Shelley Craft got a surprise for you.
Oh, and what a way to ruin a surprise!
Sorry. (LAUGHTER)
Announcing it. I won't do...
surprise! I won't stuff it up next time.
You know you've got wardrobe consultations
with Kinsman next week?
Yes.
Because you've got the schedule already.
Yes. OK.
So, the winner of this week's room
will get a $20,000 Kinsman upgrade...
Hey! ..with a wardrobe next week.
Oh, that's exciting. It is.
With Ford, with the $10,000, makes this a $30,000 week.
Oh, jeez. My goodness!
Add into the mix... Wait.
..my fabulous handbag.
Do you know about this handbag?
Now, just before you guess, it's a Ned Kelly handbag.
(CRICKETS CHIRRUP)
No, no, no, it's a Grace Kelly... Oh, sorry.
It's a Grace Kelly handbag. Oh.
1950s fashion icon, Grace Kelly. Oh, right.
Princess Grace of Monaco.
Roger that. Do you have any idea?
I even dressed like Grace Kelly today.
(LAUGHTER)
Do you know what, Shell,
you're the bloody spitting image of Grace Kelly.
I like to think so.
I feel as though I look a bit like Ned Kelly.
(LAUGHTER)
Can we get back to the handbag? Yes.
Alright? What's it worth?
I don't know. I don't know. A lot.
Like, I don't know much that one's worth P 50K? I dunno...
Oh. No. Only twenty.
Oh! Real bargain.
(LAUGHTER)
$20,000. Oh, wow.
Right here in my hot little hand.
which could be sitting inside your upgraded Kinsman wardrobe
when you go to auction.
Jeez.
So, what are you doing to win 50 grand this week?
(LAUGHTER)
Let's get back on point, shall we? Spending some money, I reckon.
The finishes on those arches are amazing.
Yeah.
With the curve, you've got a little bullnose on it.
Yeah, that's right.
We've done the bullnose through all the ends of our...
Like, on the ends. I love it.
So it's taken out the sharpness. That's fabulous.
Obviously, initially started in the bathroom
with that detail in the skylights
so we've just continued that through.
Alright. Back to it.
I know it's a public holiday, there's not a lot you can do
but it's all the one percenters.
Yes. Absolutely.
As we heard from Mr Fox the other night.
Yep. This is yours to stuff up. (LAUGHTER)
Thanks, Scotty. Thank you.
Next up is parents Leah and Ash in House Two.
As well as a lounge and bedroom space down one end,
House Two's self-contained studio will also feature a kitchenette
and dining space.
Hello. How are you, guys? Hi there. Hello.
So, what are you going to do? What are you planning?
We've got a...
I can't pull it down 'cause it's getting set
but we've got a smart bed in here.
Wonderful. Oh, have you?
Great idea. Love it. So, the folds down.
Yeah. Wow.
So, I've got like, two chairs, a coffee table, a lamp,
and two Ottomans.
Yep.
I think they were a little bit like oh, OK.
Yeah, like, what is this? What's happening here?
So, we tried our best to explain it.
OK. But is it going to look a bit odd when they walk in
and there's just two chairs?
And then I've got two little Ottomans
that probably can just get pushed to the side.
How far does that come out? It comes out here, doesn't it?
Yeah. Yeah, it's 2m.
I just didn't want the judges having to move furniture around
to pull this smart bed out.
Yeah.
So, it should hopefully look like a complete lounge space.
So, you can use this space rather than...
When someone's not staying. Yep.
'Cause the spare room doesn't get used all that often, really.
That's it. Yeah.
If you win ten grand this week from Ford,
you will also get $20,000 from Kinsman.
So, imagine this sitting in your walk-in.
So, you win that bag too. You win the bag too.
Oh! It's an Hermes.
Oh. Is it really? Yes. It's a real one.
When you go Hermes,
you can't just go in and buy a bag off the shelf.
Mmm.
You have to go in there, make a connection with the sales assistant.
Once the sales assistant is comfortable with you
and thinks that you're a good fit for it
then they might invite you to have a handbag.
I have been told this.
This will increase the value more than a Rolex watch.
BOTH: Yeah.
So, you could buy them for about US$1,800, back in the day.
Back in the day. Right.
And I believe, Shell, you saw one online.
$250,000.
(GASPS) So wicked.
For a handbag.
It will be a huge selling point.
Beyond. Massive.
Kristy is less than impressed with husband Brett.
And he got busted. Busted at bitching about me.
And there's barbecues cooking their steak.
The steaks/stakes...
That is a nice piece of meat.
..could not be higher.
But wait, there's more.
(GASPS)
There's a whole heap of cash up for grabs.
It was the most intense cooking session of my entire life.
(EDGY MUSIC)
(CROSSING BELL CLANGS)
# Sunny,
# Thank you, thank you for that gleam that shows its grace... #
SCOTTY: It may be a public holiday on The Block
but there's still artwork arriving on site.
Oh, my goodness. This is so exciting.
This is for you guys. (GASPS)
That is sick.
Brent Rosenberg, incredible artist in Melbourne.
I reached out to him a few weeks ago
and just said, "I'd love to showcase some of your work."
That's wicked, man.
That is a statement.
SCOTTY: And with no power tools allowed on site today,
Leslie's spending time working on her budget.
I'm just on the CommBank app
and I'm opening up a CommBank Goal Tracker account.
It's like a savings account
and I can effectively split my money
and I can use it for my trades, for landscaping.
And if we get a win or we're up for the week on the budget,
then I can just move that money across on the Goal Tracker...
and top it up.
SCOTTY: Time for Shelley and I to check-in
with Adelaide couple Kristy and Brett in House Three.
Kristy and Brett's first floor self-contained studio
will have a loft-like feel
and will feature a big bed,
a built-in desk,
and a kitchenette.
Oh, hello. Hello, guys.
You look lovely. Yes, you do.
Thank you. Glamourous.
Well, it's a public holiday
so thought I'd bring out my Hermes handbag for a run.
Nice. Ahh, lovely.
Well, watch out for the wet paint. I'll stay away from you.
Actually, I am petrified carrying this around.
This is an Hermes Kelly.
Ooh.
Do you know what they are? Yes, I do.
It's an original. Yes, I do.
No, I don't either. It looks lovely.
What they've got up for grabs this week is unreal.
Yeah, and a very nice handbag that goes up in price.
I can't remember the name of that.
Kelly bag? Yeah.
Gene Kelly, is it?
('SOME ENCHANTED EVENING' PLAYS)
(BUZZER)
Kelly Grace, isn't it?
(BUZZER)
Anyway, it looked, it looked great.
We've really focused on the north-facing lighting
'cause it comes in here so beautifully.
Beautiful.
And you got that gorgeous big tree out the windows too.
Yes.
Currently there is a tarp in the way due to protection but
yeah, you get the big Pine and then a bit of stretch either side.
Yeah.
Massive inclusion into the room and I think that's a real wow factor.
And you've got beautiful cross ventilation too, coming from those.
They open up, do they? They do all open up.
And you also open up this and you get a breeze coming through there.
We've also got a slot window there too so create that flow.
OK, nice.
Don't get too comfortable with that bag, Shelley.
I'm not putting down anywhere.
I feel like this would look so good on you, Brett.
I'd be happy to wear it. (SHELLEY GIGGLES)
Everybody wants that bag. Bye, guys.
Bye!
Watch your head, Scotty.
I felt like we were on the right path...
I think so. ..with what we're doing, I think.
We posed to what we were, well, what Kristy styling it like
and the room itself, and who we're doing it for,
and I felt like they agreed.
So that gives a bit of a lift up. Yeah.
SCOTTY: But it seems that lift up we gave them didn't last long.
We've barely stepped out the door
and things turn tense when it comes to painting the room.
I want to start painting.
Brett doesn't want to start painting.
Just try and protect the whole area before we crank up a spray gun.
I really want to get the place protected.
We've got a couple of finished coats around this Velux
and just trying think of a way we can protect that.
So, it seems Kristy wants to use the spray gun and paint now
but Brett thinks the room isn't properly prepared yet.
Anyway, we'll just stand around and wait
and I guess we'll just pull an all-nighter now.
Oh, (BLEEP) paint, dude.
I'm like a let's just get on, crack on.
Like, let's not waste time.
and Brett's like a let's sit on this and think about it for four hours.
Look, I don't think Kristy understands
how much (BLEEP) goes everywhere.
So, it's gonna be a mess.
Have you used one before? Yeah.
He hasn't used one before.
It was a public holiday.
We need to ensure that we could use it
because we hadn't used the sprayer before.
We had a lot of the trades shut down
so I wanted to get things up and running.
Like, she hasn't even taped all those edges.
Like, tells me it's done.
It's not done.
At this stage I'm honestly about to let her (bleep) this whole thing up
and walk away from it.
Hello, Scotty.
Hi, Shelley. Hello.
You look so lovely. You looked so fresh and pretty.
Thank you. And you, Scotty.
Thank you. You girls are looking a little bit dishevelled.
I know. We are. That's just a trend for us.
I like it, I like it. You're rocking tradie chic. It's great.
Gutter rats. Absolute gutter rats.
As we're known.
This is like a whole house. It's coming together.
It's a full kitchen.
Eliza and Liberty's studio
will be a combined bedroom and work-from-home space
with a built-in desk,
kitchenette, and sofa bed.
So, we're having some grafico on that wall.
Like, a map of Melbourne sort of thing on there.
Which I said hasn't been done before.
Never seen that before. Do you know what?
We feel like a working-from-home space, it's suitable.
Like, it's kind of nice to have that.
Yes, I have a meeting and you look up to the wall of the kitchen,
oh, that's there's where I gotta go.
Exactly.
Yeah, girls, my wife's here visiting me, from Sydney,
and I've had to distract her 'cause she's on the war path
looking for the two girls that are chasing my sons.
Are any of your sons single?
Have you seen my sons?
Yes. That's why we're asking.
They're magnificent. BOTH: Yes.
She's on the war path. Oh, she hates us.
Bring her in. They could do a little interview.
No, no, she will never come in. Oh, really?
I feel like if she meets us she'll change her mind.
(LAUGHS) Yeah, same.
I think she really likes her current situation.
I can't wait to meet them, the partners as well.
I'm sure they'll love us.
How have you gone this week on the hunt?
Oh, do you know what?
Everyone's been trying but we genuinely...
It normally is the number one priority for me in life
but because we feel so... That might be the problem, Eliza.
That might be where you're going...
BOTH: Desperation oozing from the pores.
I know.
But we genuinely are trying to focus on building.
That's right. Yeah.
SCOTTY: Another couple only focusing on building
are high school sweethearts Steph and Gian in House Four.
Hello. Hi!
Wow. Hello.
Hi. OK, let's get our bearings.
(LAUGHTER) How are you doing?
You know, the interesting thing, Shell, is that
jeez, the beams look better.
Yeah.
We took the judges' feedback seriously.
We agreed though. We agree.
We're changing that so these flow on straight into the bathroom
in that same sort of look.
House Four's studio will be styled as a guest bedroom,
with the main feature, a brand-new fireplace.
Please tell me that you're still getting on
after two weeks on The Block.
Is everything alright?
I would hate for you to break up over The Block
after being together since you were eight!
No, no. You know what?
It's actually made us sort of stronger
because we've kind of come together.
We had a really tough week... Last week was big.
with having to lose the builder.
But we're actually happier. Yeah, we are.
Yeah, we feel good. We actually feel ready.
Our head's in The Block bubble now.
This week we feel a lot more... Much better position this week.
But I think mentally
we have actually ticked off all the hardest sort of parts.
SCOTTY: In House Three, tensions are still high.
Brett now thinks they should use a roller to paint their studio
but Kristy still thinks they should use the paint sprayer
and save time.
So, Kristy's marched over to besties Leah and Ash in House Two
to vent her frustration.
It's his way or the highway and like, I can't anything.
He's slowing me down and I'm (BLEEP) yet again.
What does he wants you to do? Is he trying to prep?
(CLEARS THROAT) I can't prep.
I can't do anything.
Just wish he'd go to (BLEEP) hell and I can do it by myself.
She's just... I love her. She's so hard to deal with sometimes.
And this is about to make a mess
and she won't listen to me on that front.
So, we'll deal with it when we get to it.
Again, this was her saying this is ready. Not.
Not ready.
LEAH: So, what do you wanna do,
just start painting and not tape up?
Oh, we're taped but it's just the Velux. We can't do anything.
ASH: Have you taped the Velux?
Can't. We can't get over there because of that void.
So, if you spray the rest, there's a chance like...
All you need is a little bit of wind or a draft...
LEAH: And it'll go all on your windows.
(KRISTY SIGHS)
ASH: In my opinion you can't spray.
Fine.
Kristy's gone over to complain about me to Ash and Leah,
and say, "Brent's going so slow, I just wanna spray and get it done."
She's made this a stressful day that should be fun,
just to make it stressful.
(EDGY MUSIC) But...
(CHUCKLES)
KRISTY: Definitely wasn't how it went.
Here she comes. I heard it all.
Definitely didn't go bitch to Leah and Ash.
I asked their opinion if they were rolling.
Mmm.
But really nice that you felt like you had to vent to a camera.
That's really nice.
He got busted, busted bitching about me as I entered the staircase.
Nothing I wouldn't have said to her.
They think that we should also roll
so I'm gonna take the L
and it's three against one.
You know what? That's very big of you, Kristy.
Thank you.
Only takes people you've known for two weeks to listen to.
Long story short, we ended up rolling,
and that was Kristy's decision.
SCOTTY: Now that the crew have left House Three,
let's check the security footage
as I'm sure Kristy and Brett are painting peacefully.
# Love and marriage... #
KRISTY: Where am I starting?
BRETT: Wherever you want. I don't care.
Maybe you need to have more sleep.
Maybe you're just being a rude (BLEEP).
(CAMERA BEEPS) We're doing the (BLEEP) ceiling!
How do you suggest I get up there when you've got the (BLEEP) ladder?
Oh, I don't know, bro.
(CAMERA BEEPS) So, where am I starting?
Wherever you want. (CAMERA BEEPS)
Try your hardest not to bitch on camera about me while I'm gone.
Yeah, no problem.
# 'Cause it can only be you
# To set your words on fire
# It can only be you, my love... #
SCOTTY: It's a public holiday on The Block so what
better way to spend it than to bring everyone together for a challenge?
Where are we walking to? Why am I leading?
And it's also going to be a little treat for me.
Now, gang,
I heard a rumour that you were having a Block family barbecue today
so I thought I'd invite myself along.
And I rang up my mates at Weber
and they sent along these five Weber Travellers for you to keep.
Ooh!
They fold up and you can take them with you.
Oh, that's nice.
Yeah.
I got to thinking, let's make this a little mini challenge.
Oh, fantastic.
And I'll tell you this for nothing.
The steaks/stakes...
(GASPS)
..could not be higher.
(LAUGHTER) Well played.
Ooh, that is a nice piece of meat.
That is a big lump of scotch fillet
and I want you guys to cook me the perfect scotch fillet,
just the way like it,
charred on both sides and medium/rare in the middle,
served at 30mm thick.
Served, which means... Thick.
Oh, yeah, got it. When it's cooked.
Thick. (LAUGHTER)
No tape measures required, it's all by eye. OK?
OK.
And the team that cooks me the scotchy just the way I like it,
is going to get another prize from Weber...
$10,000 cash. (GASPS)
You're welcome. (LAUGHS)
Alright, turn your barbies. Quick!
How do we even do that? We don't even know how to do that.
Oh, come on!
We don't have a barbecue. I've never even turned one on.
Watch your fingers now.
From the moment the knife went through the steak
we were already cooked.
Mum.
Steaks shrink when they cook.
Well, you do it. You know it. You do it.
Are you freaking out a little bit?
Just trying to calculate how much a steak shrinks.
Most intense cooking session of my entire life.
As everyone was saying, the stakes were high.
Yeah. The stakes were high.
Because it was $10,000 cash money, baby.
BRETT: Save some for the rest of us, mate.
(LESLIE LAUGHS)
He said 30 but not 300. (LAUGHS)
I am a massive Weber fan. I have all Weber products.
I could hear my father-in-law at home
saying, "He's gotta win this one."
(SIZZLING)
Yes, and some oil.
Lots of lemon. Scotty loves lemon.
It's zesty.
I'll give it a little rub on one side with some garlic.
Oh, my god! Why would you do that?
That's quite a lot of butter.
I'm ready for your steaks.
I'm sharpening my knife, my judging knife...
and I'm ready to go.
(SIZZLING)
Salt it and then throw it over you shoulder for good luck.
(CHUCKLES)
Don't squash him.
Need to keep the juice in them, babe.
I mean, it's all well and good when you're cooking yourself a steak
at home on the bloody stove.
Everyone else's seemed to be sizzling.
Ours wasn't really making noises.
LESLIE: Want to do it? KYLE: Yeah.
Alright. Flip it over on the other way.
Yeah.
SCOTTY: OK.
House One.
Scotty, your one. Thank you, mate.
Ooh! I tell you what, presentation's magnificent..
Thickness. Outstanding. Thank you.
By my trained eye.
I trust you're trained eye, Scotty.
I reckon that is 29.5mm. (LAUGHTER)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Ooh, she's a bit rare.
It's too rare. Too rare.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Thank you, House One. Thank you.
(LAUGHS)
You went way early.
What's this "you" business?
Pretty sure there was two of us there but anyway.
Luckily enough, Kyle and Leslie went in early
and by them going in early I saw what opened up
and it was full-blown rare.
So I just took my time.
SCOTTY: Who's next?
Hi, Scotty. Thank you very much.
God, yes. That's good.
Talk to me, Scotty.
Thank you, House Four.
It was fun. Had a bit of fun.
There you go, Scotty. Thank you very much.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Begone. Thank you. (LAUGHTER)
Girls.
Just need to put my little quinelle on.
Mmm, very nice touch.
Thank you, Five.
I won't keep you waiting, Scotty. You need the last one, mate.
Now wait, I'm supposed to look what side I'm showing you.
Sweet. That's the one.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Actually got butterflies, eh. Bit nervy.
Yeah, it is nerve racking.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Winner.
(CHEERING)
(APPLAUSE)
Congratulations, House Three.
$10,000 coming your way, thanks to Weber.
So, Kristy and everyone now can crown me the Weber King.
Yeah.
I wanna know how someone wins a challenge without eating red meat.
PRODUCER: Who doesn't eat red meat? Kristy.
Doesn't she? No.
SCOTTY: Well, congratulations, everybody.
It's been a fantastic day, fantastic week.
You're all doing an amazing job.
You all should be very proud of yourselves as well
'cause this is a tough job.
Mmm. Good luck on Sunday.
Cheers. Cheers, guys.
You beauty.
Cheers, everyone.
(LAUGHTER)
Strap in.
VOICEOVER: Spectacular Sunday reveals are ready to drop.
SHAYNNA: This is insane.
(SCREAMING)
This is a bit of a rollercoaster.
Supersized home studios...
Look at the size of this.
This is bigger than my apartment.
(LAUGHTER)
..hit new highs...
Look at the fire.
So sexy.
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.
You beauty!
Ohh!
In the zone of zen...
Pilates studio.
But...
Seems very juvenile.
..new judge Marty Fox...
I think the styling is so bad
that had it have been empty, I would have been happier.
..tears them down.
No way.
The TV's in the wrong spot.
Does not feel luxurious and buyers will penalise that.
These guys have a serious problem.
Guests retreat reveals deliver...
(GASPS) ..one almighty thrill-ride.
Told you it was going to be a rollercoaster.
