SCOTT CAM: Previously on The Block,

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,320
a great yawning divide
split the Blockheads...

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,000
ELIZA: I'm gonna be pissed
if Ash and Leah win more money.

4
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:09,040
LIBERTY: Same.

5
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,320
..when Leah and Ash won
the Best On Block award.

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,600
I was disappointed
that they were given it.

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,120
(GLASS SHATTERS)

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,440
I walked past
and she was raging out at Gian.

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,240
OK, and I want to know
what you're doing...

10
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,280
GIAN: I'm trying to...

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,080
..because I have things
for you to pick up.

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,240
And frenemy Kristy gave
relationship advice to Steph...

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:38,960
I'm not even angry at him.

14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,240
Maybe your tone just comes across
like that.

15
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,960
Yeah.
You're a bitch deep down.

16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,320
That's why I like you.

17
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,920
PRODUCER: You're not really friends
with anyone.

18
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,000
Oh... Ash and Leah.
Ash and Leah are genuine.

19
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,920
(LAUGHS)

20
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,160
The rest of it's fake.

00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,440
SCOTT: ..when Steph
became the third wheel.

23
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,480
Whenever Kristy and I are together,

24
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,240
all of a sudden
Steph pops her little head up

25
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,320
and goes straight in for, like,
a little cuddle with Kristy.

26
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,240
PRODUCER: It's fair to say
there's a pretty big divide

27
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,720
between you guys and Ash and Leah.

28
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,840
Yeah. I think we both
just stay in our lanes.

(GLASS SHATTERS)

00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,560
SCOTT: And if that wasn't enough
'judginess',

31
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,040
there was a lot more last night
for living and dining week...

32
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:20,560
A lounge room should not be 3m by 3m
in a four-bedroom house.

33
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,920
..while Leah and Ash celebrated
a second room win.

34
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:27,080
It's Leah and Ash again!

35
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,280
(LAUGHS)

36
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:29,320
Tonight, we're heading upstairs

37
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,400
for the start of master bedroom
and walk-in robe week, but...

38
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,680
Is that half a couch?

39
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,480
..the work gloves are off
for the open-for-inspections.

40
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,760
Do you only like the positive parts
or the negatives?

41
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:40,840
No, no.

42
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,280
That's actually hideous.

43
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:45,720
I'm only saying negatives.
Yeah.

44
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,880
(LAUGHTER)

45
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,400
The sisters have a real beef
with their builder.

46
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,880
We're not having fun.
We're not sleeping.

47
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,360
We are zombies and we're now not,
like, delivering.

48
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,440
And a mismeasurement leaves Leah
with a closet catastrophe.

49
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,760
Don't you guys think
that when this structure came up

50
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:03,880
you would come and double-check?

51
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,920
Any situation where you feel
there's a problem,

52
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,840
we need to be notified accordingly.

53
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,280
I never thought there was a problem.
Because you didn't check.

54
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:11,800

(POP MUSIC PLAYS)

57
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,640
We're halfway through
the entire Block build

58
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,720
and it's a brand-spanking-new week
on the Block,

59
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,400
with master bedrooms and walk-in
robes to be completed by Sunday.

60
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,680
But troubles are brewing
before the week even starts.

61
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:47,240
Our couples are well and truly split
into two camps -

62
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,000
houses two and three on one side

63
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,000
and houses one, four and five
on the other.

64
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,280
And last week, that little split
turned into a great divide

65
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,400
after the girls complained
to Steph and Gian

66
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,920
about Leah and Ash's
negative feedback.

67
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,120
They just never, ever say
anything positive.

68
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,720
Well, even when we won,
like, last week,

69
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,920
when they came out of our room,
they just ignore us, sort of thing.

70
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:12,960
ELIZA: Yeah.

71
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,520
After the Domain open inspections,

72
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,920
we make a real considered effort
to go around to each person

73
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,400
and let them know
some positive comments

74
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,760
on what we liked about their spaces.

75
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,600
Your room was so beautiful, guys.

76
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:23,720
LEAH: Oh, thank you.
So, so, so beautiful.

77
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,120
And we just find that Ash and Leah
don't do that so much.

78
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,080
Oh, my lord.

79
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,520
ASH: It's like Shrek's pubes.

(LAUGHS)

81
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,920
Ash said that the wall
was Shrek's pubes.

82
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,920
ELIZA: It's not going anywhere,
so get used to it.

83
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,160
Like, it's gotten to a point now
we're in week five, six,

84
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,640
we're a bit flat and it's something
that Steph noticed

85
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,640
and so she sort of went into bat for
us and she said to Leah, you know,

86
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,280
"The girls feel like
they need validation."

87
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,280
So, at this morning's
open-for-inspections,

88
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,920
Leah has promised to give validation
to not only the sisters

89
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,840
but some other teams as well.

90
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,800
Ready for the validation station?
Yeah.

91
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,600
Validation station, come on.

92
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,520
Toot-toot.
Come down for your nation.

93
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:13,200
It was late on Friday night
I went and saw the girls

94
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,360
and Steph was there and I was, like,

95
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,800
"Actually, what's with
all the rumour mill

96
00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:21,440
"that we're bad winners
and bad losers?"

97
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,920
And Steph was there
and she was, like,

98
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:30,560
"Well, you know, you just don't give
enough validation to everyone

99
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,480
"after Domain walk-arounds."

100
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,720
Well, we were all just discussing
privately

101
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,840
how it's really nice
when you come out of the room,

102
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,880
where, you know,
your peers acknowledge, like,

103
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,160
"This was really great"

104
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:45,040
or just give you some sort of, like,
you know, props for your work.

105
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,160
Yeah, Ash and Leah weren't
doing that and we wondered why.

106
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,760
She's, like, "Just something nice.
Think of something nice."

107
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,120
Here you go, Lee.
Thank you.

108
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,280
I was, like,
"What that if I don't have...

109
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,400
"What if there's no positives?"

110
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,960
Domain open-for-inspection
is closed door

111
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:07,440
with your partner to
share your honest, private feelings.

112
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,240
I think it just should stay private.

113
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:12,480
Private?

114
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,480
You obviously mean just you and Ash
and the rest of Australia

115
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,160
tuning in tonight, right?

116
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,240
Yeah.

117
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:20,640
There's obviously been comments
where, you know, Leah said,

118
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,880
"Oh, like, I'm so nervous for you
guys to see some of the comments."

119
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,440
And it's, like,
"Are you super nervous

120
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,680
"because you're, you know,
rubbishing our rooms?"

121
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,320
I'm not worried
when things go to air

122
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,000
because I've said it to their face.
Yep.

123
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,000
ASH: Validation station, 8:30 sharp.

124
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,560
I'm going for the abuse train.

125
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,120
(LAUGHS)
I want nothing but disrespect.

126
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,840
BRETT: All aboard. Good morning.
Yeah.

127
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,160
ASH: Toot-toot.
BRETT: Let's go.

128
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,400
Leah was super confused by it
and Leah was, like,

129
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,800
"I don't have any time

130
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:50,320
"to be giving all of this validation
to all of these people."

131
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,760
Like, these are your competition

132
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,360
and we've got our own stuff going on
in our own houses.

133
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,520
Are you just gonna
make some (BLEEP) up?

134
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,640
Yeah. 100%.
(INSINCERELY) "I love your room."

135
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,920
Would you like some good ones
off the top of the dome?

136
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,040
Thanks.
(AFFECTEDLY) "I love your painting."

137
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:08,280
"And the execution was amazing.
Don't believe what the judges say."

138
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,600
(LAUGHS)
There's three.

139
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,720
You can have them for free.
Thanks.

140
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,040
I love you for that.
Can I come with you for Domain?

141
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,880
I'm just very excited.
Yeah, sure. Sure.

142
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,440
ASH: Wowee.

143
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,280
SCOTT: Hand over that ticket
to the stationmaster, kids,

144
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:26,160
because today's open-for-inspection
is now the validation express.

145
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,680
First stop, house one.

146
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,400
Last night in judging,

147
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,120
Kyle and Leslie came last
with a score of 20

148
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,960
for their living-dining area.

149
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,800
The judges found the living area
was too small

150
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:41,280
and wondered why they hadn't removed
the wall in the middle

151
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,040
to open up the space.

152
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,360
This just feels really tiny.

153
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,240
The judges loved their
custom-made Christian Cole table

154
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:53,080
and the general feel of the room

155
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,960
but were not impressed
by the squished-in layout.

156
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,160
"It's a beautifully styled
and built disaster."

157
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,000
If anyone needs some validation
this morning, it's these guys.

158
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,400
Let's see what their buddies
in house four and five think.

159
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,560
Oh!
Wow.

160
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,720
What a beautiful dining table.

161
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,600
(GASPS) It swivels.

162
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,480
That art's cool...
Oh, this is so comfy.

163
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,200
It's really small

164
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,920
and the only fault of that is the
architect that gave them the plans

165
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,600
presented a space like this.

166
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,840
Kind comments from their friends.

167
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,400
Let's see what the validation station
and co thing.

168
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,600
Is that half a couch?

169
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,680
A curve, just for the (BLEEP) of it?

170
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,320
Is that what we're doing here?
LEAH: (LAUGHS) Yeah.

171
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,120
I feel like they just stuck
to their plan.

172
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,280
Like, they were given their plans

173
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,840
and they go,
"I'm gonna go with that."

174
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,040
They're safe all the time.

175
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,840
They needed to just go in hard
with something, take a risk.

176
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:55,920
Yeah.

177
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,800
They're gonna have to get rid
of that table.

178
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,360
Mmm.
That 100% does not work.

179
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,560
It doesn't.
Toot-toot.

180
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,360
Time to deliver some validation.

181
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,960
The plans are not...

182
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,280
It's not what you have to do.
No, it's not, but...

183
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,120
Yeah.
LEAH: Is that wall on your plan?

184
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,120
KYLE: Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, OK. Right.

185
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:17,480
Yep.

186
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,400
No, you don't need validation but it
is nice for your peers to come out

187
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,200
and be, like,
"Oh, I really loved that."

188
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,600
Like, "Loved that it was so calming"

189
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,920
or "Loved that I felt like
I was on holiday."

190
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,120
Just anything, I don't know.

191
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,480
We've got no choice.

192
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,520
The round table, it's stunning.

193
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,360
I don't know how that's gonna fit.

194
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,360
It just sucks now that
that wall's, like, there.

195
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,160
OK. Not any real validation there,
but it's early days.

196
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,240
Next stop, house five.

197
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,880
With the biggest space,

198
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,480
Eliza and Liberty were just happy
to present two finished rooms.

199
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,520
I don't really have much hope
in this judging.

200
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:58,000
I just think we need to grin
and bear what comes to us.

201
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,080
What came then was 27 points,
putting them in second place.

202
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,080
NEALE: This is a perfect
but timeless dining space.

203
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,520
SHAYNNA: I'm actually blown away.

204
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:12,640
And there was more love
for the living room.

205
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:14,760
# Heading through the darkest part
of the night... #

206
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,360
I love the aesthetic in here.
I love the proportions.

207
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,320
This is the most generous
lounge room we've seen today.

208
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,120
Their art's cool.

209
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,160
Seriously, they blow me away,
like, how they just...

210
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,680
When you see them, like,
in the state that they're in

211
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,040
and then you go, "Jesus Christ..."

212
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,400
This is awesome.

213
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:37,200
I hope they feel proud, because they
were really dishevelled on Saturday.

214
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,400
STEPH: Well, the fireplace
is obviously a standout.

215
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,520
GIAN: It's a nice feature.

216
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:43,680
I can't believe
they got this space done.

217
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,560
They've dug really deep.

218
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,680
KRISTY: Hold on. Wait a minute.

219
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,200
BRETT: I don't get this.

220
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:56,000
How come they didn't get reamed
for their placement of a small rug?

221
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,320
A square, a circle, a rectangle...

222
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,880
This looks cheap with everything
that looks classy over there.

223
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,320
Uh-oh.

224
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,320
If Kristy and Brett ain't loving it,

225
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,120
it could be a bloodbath
at the validation station.

226
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,000
Okey-dokey.
Oh!

227
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,720
Wow.

228
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,520
This is amazing.

229
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:23,240
I was just not expecting this.

230
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,840
They were so down in the dumps...
Yeah.

231
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:25,880
..by their room.

232
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,600
I'm, like, "Why?"

233
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,360
Gosh, look at that!

234
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,600
This is a really good style
for them.

235
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,960
Really good.

236
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,680
Oh, I think they've done
a cracking job.

237
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,800
Let's go and validate them.

238
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,280
That living room was phenomenal.

239
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,840
Yeah, because you guys were...
Phenomenal.

240
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,600
I wish I saw it before judging

241
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,520
because yesterday you guys
were so down in the dumps.

242
00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:54,400
I was expecting something
really, really, really, really bad.

243
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,120
I don't think the girls
back themselves enough...

244
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,200
Yeah.
..in what they're doing.

245
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,560
Like, that room's sick.
Incredible.

246
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,400
ELIZA: They love it as long as we're
nowhere near them on the scoreboard.

247
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,240
LIBERTY: Yeah.

248
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,880
Alright. Good one.
Thank you.

249
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,080
Thanks, guys.
ASH: Validated?

250
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,200
Yeah, thank you.

251
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,120
Validation station tick. Let's go.

252
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,960
I have to go. We're still not ready.
Do you want to go around?

253
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,680
Because people want
our (BLEEP) opinions.

254
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:25,840
House three, Kristy and Brett,
came equal third on 25.5 points.

255
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,800
They only delivered
their living room,

256
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,240
as they moved their dining area
to be part of kitchen week.

257
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,680
The judges felt the hotspot
was the Venetian plaster wall...

258
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,880
That plaster finish is to die for.

259
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,280
..and the fireplace.

260
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,360
SHAYNNA: Oh, my god,
it's pumping out so much heat!

261
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:44,960
That's beautiful!

262
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,800
ELIZA: Oooh, I love this.
LIBERTY: Same.

263
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,120
I think it's beautiful.

264
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,960
Look at this wall.

265
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:59,160
STEPH: This is...
tough to sit on.

266
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,680
LESLIE: Are you enjoying yourself?
Just go all the way back...

267
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:02,880
(LAUGHS)
..in recline mode.

268
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,200
(LAUGHS)

269
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,040
Yeah, you'd probably get
a good back crack on this thing.

270
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,800
(BOTH LAUGH)

271
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,640
But will Kristy and Brett's
best mates

272
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:13,760
validate or decimate their room?

273
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,160
Oi!
Oh!

274
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,600
I like that fireplace.
Very cosy.

275
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,520
Stunning.

276
00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:24,960
The TV on that section
was such a great choice.

277
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,840
Yeah.
Beautiful galley.

278
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,600
The colours are beautiful.
This couch is comfy.

279
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,600
I like this.
It just feels so rich.

280
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,640
No, I can't really fault this one.
It's beautiful.

281
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,680
Also coming in equal third
on 25.5 points was Steph and Gian

282
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,560
with their 'Japandi' styling.

283
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,720
Japan and Scandi...
Scandi.

284
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:48,760
Scandi.

285
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,440
Did you make that up or is
that a thing? No. It's a thing.

286
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,640
It's a thing.
It's a thing.

287
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:54,680
But the judges felt
they overstyled their room.

288
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,440
It's making my eyes
go all over the place.

289
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,120
Oh, wow.

290
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,440
KYLE: I understand Japandi now.

291
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,080
I love this.

292
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,560
LIBERTY: Beautiful dining chairs.

293
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,440
Oh, my gosh.
And the fireplace right there.

294
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,560
Yeah, that's stunning.

295
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,320
But, yeah, there's a lot of bits
and pieces.

296
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,640
There's a lot of, a lot of vases.
(BOTH LAUGH)

297
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:16,760
KYLE: I don't know,
is there too many ceramics?

298
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,040
Like...

299
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,440
LIBERTY: I like it.

300
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,440
Yeah, I think I like this area.

301
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,080
KRISTY: Steph wanted honest feedback
this week.

302
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,880
I think, like, with these cushions
and then that there,

303
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,320
she's just got a lot of furniture
and these chairs make zero sense.

304
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,360
BRETT: Yeah.

305
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,440
I think she panicked.

306
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,480
I think she might have missed
the mark on this one.

307
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:45,520
But does the validation station think
Steph and Gian have missed the mark?

308
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,480
LEAH: Oh!

309
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,960
It's actually visually beautiful.

310
00:13:56,680 --> 00:13:59,400
Oh, wow. OK.

311
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,440
We've got bamboo.
That's actually hideous.

312
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:06,640
How many...

313
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:11,600
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

314
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,480
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17...

315
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,360
Oh, my god.
ASH: What?

316
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:17,800
17...
Items?

317
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,120
..pots in one room.

318
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,520
Yeah.

319
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,760
(LAUGHS)

320
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,160
17 pots in that dining room.

321
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,440
You can't even blame that
on the lack of sleep

322
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,920
because you've actually physically
picked up a pot and brought it in.

323
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,880
You bought 17 of them
and you brought them home.

324
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,200
That's a whack-job there.

325
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:43,280
Who the actual living

326
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,400
would sit in here

327
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:47,760
and be comfortable?

328
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,960
This is not inviting at all.

329
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,760
Oh, no, we've got more pots.

330
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,760
Can't wait for validation station.

331
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,640
Oh, she's in for it.

332
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,480
(LAUGHS) She's asked for it
and I'm doing it.

333
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,880
(GULL CRIES)

334
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,600
SCOTT: It's midmorning on
the first day of master bedroom week

335
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,800
but our Blockheads haven't been able
to step a muddy workboot

336
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,240
into their rooms.

337
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,280
The open-for-inspections
are in overtime

338
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,240
and Steph asked Leah and Ash to
validate each living and dining space

339
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:26,920
to their fellow teammates.

340
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,000
Although Steph asked for
Leah and Ash's validation,

341
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,000
what Steph really wants
is brutal honesty.

342
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,360
13, 14, 15, 16, 17...

343
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,840
Oh, my god. 17 pots in one room.

344
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,520
And after viewing
Steph and Gian's space

345
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,280
through their validation goggles...

346
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:51,080
Who would sit in here
and be comfortable?

347
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,880
..they are now ready to validate.

348
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,400
Oh, she's in for it.

349
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,160
(LAUGHS) She's asked for it
and I'm doing it.

350
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,920
Anyway, whatever I said on camera,

351
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,080
I had to go and speak it to Steph
in the quad.

352
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,440
ASH: I felt like it was in a nursery
and I had to buy all your pots.

353
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,440
STEPH: I know.
GIAN: There was a lot of pots.

354
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,920
ASH: Then we're over the back,
there was a pot in a pot.

355
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,920
(LAUGHTER)
I know, that was...

356
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,160
Yeah, OK, I know.

357
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,200
We sort of stood there for a minute
and said a couple of things.

358
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,080
The bamboo, 100%, that's...
You don't like it?

359
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,840
No.
I love the bamboo.

360
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,360
And those two cane chairs...
You don't like them?

361
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,320
No, not for you.

362
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,840
And she very quickly had responses
and answers.

363
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,040
"Oh, like, well, the reason
I did that was this."

364
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,560
The cane for me
something super different.

365
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:38,920
Like, I wouldn't necessarily
have done it.

366
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,120
I still back the choice,

367
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:46,200
only in the sense that it sort of
makes my couch less stiff.

368
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,720
KRISTY: You don't need to define
everything she says to her...

369
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,480
Oh, yeah, I know.
..in response.

370
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,080
LEAH: This is why
I've stayed silent.

371
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,160
(LAUGHS)

372
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,840
I'm so confused
about the whole thing.

373
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,440
Yeah, same.
I'm a pretty simple dude.

374
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,560
Like, "That's (BLEEP),
I don't like it. Next."

375
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,680
Why do we need to
tell everyone this?

376
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,920
Did the girls go in there?
They might have.

377
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,320
No...
Like, at all?

378
00:17:06,360 --> 00:17:08,720
Don't you think that I'm responding
to the negative things...

379
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,760
I'm only saying negative.
Yeah.

380
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,000
(LAUGHS)
Literally.

381
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,960
I just like the brutal honesty.
I just love that.

382
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Do you?

383
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,760
Steph's just, like,
"I'm a sucker for punishment."

384
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,640
(LAUGHTER)
Steph's, like, "Give it to me.

385
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,760
"I want it.
I want to hear all the bad things."

386
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,400
I was, like, "You are...nuts."

387
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,200
I don't care about validation,

388
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,880
so I'm struggling to give it
'cause I'm, like...

389
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,800
I don't need to be validated by you.
No, no, not validating.

390
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,240
You said the other night...
you were, like,

391
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,720
"It's nice to hear some validation.

392
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,200
"You and Ash are the only ones..."

393
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,960
I was saying it
in relation to the girls.

394
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,000
People like Lib,

395
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,280
they would love a bit of, you know,
validation on their styling.

396
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,320
I personally don't.

397
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:51,720
But just walk out of someone's room
and say, "Oh, good job"

398
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,800
or, you know, "I really liked
what you did there."

399
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,240
Well, after Leah's thorough
demolishing of their style,

400
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,840
it's time for Steph
to step out of the rubble

401
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,160
and validate Ash and Leah's
winning rooms.

402
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,760
(LAUGHS)
Whoa! Whoa!

403
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,000
The judges gave it 29 points,

404
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,880
with Neale awarding them
the first ten of the series.

405
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,520
NEALE: What I've always loved
is when couples take a risk

406
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,040
but that risk pays off.

407
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,000
Yes, it's going to polarise

408
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,200
but, man, people are gonna wave
the cash at this,

409
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,640
don't you worry about that.

410
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,760
Oh, my god.
Golly, golly.

411
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,200
Wow.
I love it.

412
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,440
I actually literally feel like we
checked into our hotel in Coachella.

413
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,240
I love this spot, man.
These stairs are just stunning.

414
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:45,000
But something I would never
in my life think I'd pick that.

415
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,320
It's just wild.

416
00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:49,400
I really, really dig it.
Like, it's not for me.

417
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,320
Like, I wouldn't walk into a house
and buy a house like this.

418
00:18:52,360 --> 00:18:54,480
I think everything
just works so well.

419
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:56,760
STEPH: Um...

420
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,120
I don't know about it.

421
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:08,280
The dining space was cold and the...

422
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,640
and the couch was small.

423
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,400
I can appreciate
this design aesthetic, absolutely

424
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,880
but, like, this is not
a main living room.

425
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,600
How many people
are gonna sit in here?

426
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,920
To give someone a ten
for not providing seating...

427
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,480
And that's six seats there.
You need eight.

428
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,440
And there is so much dead space.

429
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,240
I don't think
there is a lot of people

430
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,760
that that's gonna resonate with.

431
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:39,160
It's quite jarring
and polarising but...

432
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,320
I loved the stairs.

433
00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:45,320
It is so niche. It is so niche.

434
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:48,160
It's definitely for, like,
a specific person.

435
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,200
LEAH: Totally.
Yeah.

436
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,320
Yes, it wouldn't appeal to
a lot of people, of course.

437
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:53,600
My Japandi style, it's completely
offensive, you know what I mean?

438
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,440
(LAUGHS)
Like... (LAUGHS) It is.

439
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,200
But it is...

440
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,520
You did a very good job
at exploring that.

441
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,960
I think sometimes Steph can just say
some really left-of-field comments

442
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,040
and you just don't know
how to take it.

443
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,040
I will say, the couch
is a little small, hey?

444
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,680
Hey?
The couch is a little small.

445
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,080
MAN: Yeah.
And eight dining chairs, for sure.

446
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:16,840
What I'm saying is, your space,

447
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,240
you actually do have the space
technically...

448
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,040
Yeah.
Yeah. ..to put the chairs.

449
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,320
(LAUGHS)
Mmm.

450
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:24,880
So good.

451
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:31,760
Alright.
Good on you, guys.

452
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:32,800
Thanks.
Good on you.

453
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:37,480
SCOTT: Well, now the very awks
validation station is over,

454
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,240
it's time for our Blockheads
to focus on the master bedroom

455
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,560
and walk-in robe area.

456
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,520
All of our couples are about to
move up in the world...

457
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,040
# Just move on up... #

458
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,000
..in fact, about one storey up

459
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,960
because they are now working on their
first floor for the very first time.

460
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,960
# I'm the one
that you want to be... #

461
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,120
For the past six weeks, the Nine In
Six mob have been putting up frames

462
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:05,920
with Truecore dynamic steel
that's all locally made in Melbourne.

463
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,400
So handy.

464
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:15,600
It's termite-proof, it's fireproof,
it's light, it's straight and true.

465
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,200
It doesn't warp, it doesn't bend,
it doesn't shrink

466
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,200
and for us on The Block,
it's what we need

467
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,800
because it's very, very fast
to install.

468
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:27,400
At house two, Leah and Ash's curvy
top storey is really taking shape.

469
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,680
I just want to accentuate this.
Yeah.

470
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,440
Because this is pretty phenomenal.

471
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,720
The master bedroom and walk-in robe,

472
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,600
located at the front
of the first floor,

473
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,360
will have curved interior walls,
which can be tricky to build.

474
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,480
But Leah is dreaming big.

475
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:45,880
Do you know what I reckon?

476
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:52,080
We do storage bench,
curve it around

477
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:53,160
and then it...

478
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,120
Yeah.
How would... (LAUGHS)

479
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,280
Yeah, yeah, I like it. Keep going.

480
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,720
Leah is planning a curved bench
across the front wall,

481
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,040
king-sized bed and artwork.

482
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,760
They'll have a brightly coloured
galley walk-in robe

483
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:14,280
with a stone make-up desk at the end
inset into their curved wall.

484
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,920
And for the piece de resistance...

485
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,320
We are experimenting with something
that I have wanted to do for years

486
00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:24,440
and Ash has always said no,

487
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:31,440
so we're doing a very large
curved scalloped ceiling.

488
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,080
It's like a fluted ceiling.

489
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:35,600
It's hard to explain.
Yeah.

490
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,360
It's just as hard as it is to build.

491
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,440
Here, let me help you out
with exhibit A.

492
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,880
Mmm. Looks terrific.

493
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,040
Looks tricky.

494
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,840
Yeah, there's lots of moving parts
with this ceiling. Yep.

495
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,680
We need Truecore on board.

496
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,280
They've got to build some beams.

497
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,640
Have you got a bit of a solution?

498
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,480
Yeah, so we've sort of mocked
some things up over the last week,

499
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,960
but this is
what we're looking at now.

500
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,400
So you're the green carts...

501
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,080
are gonna run the whole way along

502
00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:09,880
and then, in the corner, we're gonna
create a curved pelmet.

503
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,240
Yeah. Nice.
Alright?

504
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,040
So it'll run all the way around,

505
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:19,200
but that'll give you something
to put your curved sections into.

506
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,520
Yep.

507
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,040
And it's gonna look sensational.

508
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,960
Yeah.
Yes. Absolutely sensational.

509
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,200
Over in house five,

510
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,080
Eliza and Liberty haven't cemented in
their master bedroom plans

511
00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:34,520
and half the day is already
out the window.

512
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,840
Master bedroom's obviously important

513
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,400
because the owners are the ones
staying in there,

514
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,280
so if they don't have
the best space,

515
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,200
they're not gonna want to buy
the house.

516
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,800
For us, it's really about
the orientation

517
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,120
and just nothing's working.

518
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,320
Maybe the only thing that works...

519
00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:55,480
Oh, but then that cuts it off.
You can't have it...

520
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,160
We're re-stumped about this, right?

521
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,600
The girls' master bedroom
overlooks their front yard

522
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,400
through a large window

523
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,640
and has double windows
on another wall.

524
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,680
And they're struggling to work out

525
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,840
where their fireplace, TV
and bed should go.

526
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,120
And you couldn't put the bed there,
could you,

527
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,240
'cause it's weird to have a window,
like, above the...

528
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,800
A window there
might be a little bit odd.

529
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,280
You can't put it there because of
your doorway to your walk-in robe.

530
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,560
Yep.

531
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,040
No matter what wall you put it on,
it sort of wouldn't work

532
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,240
in terms of, like, light coming in
one way, a window being there.

533
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,120
You can't put TVs on certain walls,
fireplaces, etc.

534
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,360
Can you put the TV there?
Is that so weird?

535
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,960
And fireplace. Or would you put
the fireplace underneath the window?

536
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,080
So, for our planning
for our master bedroom,

537
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:41,040
we've asked Mandy
from Beacon Lighting...

538
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,080
So this is the window.
Is that window two?

539
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:45,960
Yeah.
Where's the plans?

540
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,360
Mark, our builder...

541
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:48,760
Mark!

542
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:49,920
(LAUGHS)

543
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,840
We need you, please,
if you have a moment.

544
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,960
J-Mac.
We've asked J-Mac, the plumber.

545
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,680
MAN: Do you have any suggestions
on the fireplace here, J-Mac?

546
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,360
It's pretty obvious here, isn't it?
Yeah.

547
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,520
Well, where would your bed be?
Great question.

548
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,560
Either...
ELIZA: Yeah, that's there or there.

549
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,640
J-MAC: Yeah.

550
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,640
Leslie sat down with me
and also Kyle, so those two.

551
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:07,840
But do you think it utilises...

552
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,960
We've got this real hangup
about if we did it there...

553
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,680
KYLE: Honestly, we're...

554
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,000
Everyone was giving their opinion
and there wasn't a solution.

555
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,520
LESLIE: Well, you can't really
centre there either, can you?

556
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,800
On Friday, we thought we knew
what we wanted and now it's...

557
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,120
as of a few hours ago, different.

558
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,320
PRODUCER: So, you've been planning
this bedroom for three days now.

559
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:28,840
When you put it like that...

560
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,960
(GULL CRIES)
(THUNDER CRACKS)

561
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,160
G'day, Blockheads.
Shelley Craft here.

562
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,760
And when the sawing stops,
the banter begins,

563
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,640
all on the official Block podcast.

564
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,080
Every Monday night, I catch up with
contestants, judges...

565
00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:49,760
Whoa!
..and all your favourites.

566
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:50,800
(YELPS)

567
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,800
So, join me on the official
Block podcast on 9Now

# What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me... #

570
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:03,120
SCOTT: It's the first day
of master bedroom week

571
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,160
and the Block is abuzz
with activity.

572
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,320
# What is love? #

573
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,240
And if anyone has a lot of work
ahead of them this week,

574
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:13,440
it's Steph and Gian.

575
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,880
GIAN: We always saw Monday
as the opportunity

576
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,920
to kind of work out what's going
where with our builder.

577
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,960
We have a huge space.
It's humongous.

578
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,000
(LAUGHS)

579
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:28,160
Their master bedroom and walk-in robe
is a whopping 37 square metres,

580
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,560
the biggest on the Block

581
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:34,080
and takes up almost half
of their entire upstairs area.

582
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:36,680
Our master robe sits in here...

583
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,960
And goes all the way around.
..all the way around.

584
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,600
Our master robe will be very grand.

585
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,640
We've got $20,000 worth of...

586
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,280
Upgrades.
..upgrades.

587
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,840
The winner, taking home 10,000 bucks
from Ford, $20,000 handbag

588
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,880
and a $20,000 wardrobe upgrade
from Kinsman also,

589
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,120
it's Steph and Gian!

590
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,400
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Oh, my god!

591
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,120
A few weeks ago, Steph and Gian had
a Kinsman consult

592
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,160
and made sure they had all the bells
and whistles for their walk-in robe.

593
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,240
We've got these beautiful
leather handles...

594
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,800
Mm-hm.
Happy to have this on the doors?

595
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,600
Yep.
Happy to have that on the drawers?

596
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:15,640
Yes.

597
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,080
There's everything
from revolving shoe racks

598
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:19,640
to, you know, the Hafele upgrade,

599
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,720
which involves, you know, textured
coathangers and bag hangers.

600
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:23,760
Yeah.

601
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:28,440
And in the middle,
we have a 1.8 x 900 island bench

602
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,000
that's got storage in it.
Yep.

603
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,560
As well as the massive
marble-topped island bench,

604
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,640
there's a horseshoe
of floor-to-ceiling cabinetry,

605
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,480
with featured LED lighting
and make-up area.

606
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,920
Their ginormous master bedroom

607
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,680
has room for an entire seating area,
as well as a fireplace.

608
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,440
And they're continuing
the ceiling beams

609
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,080
that they featured
in other rooms of the house.

610
00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:53,120
Or maybe not.

611
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,560
These beams are obviously
what's gonna be interesting in here.

612
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,640
I just don't know how we can
incorporate the beams

613
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,280
without bringing the ceiling down.

614
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,040
And do we want to compromise
on the ceiling?

615
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,960
Well, we just need to spend
some time on it

616
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,760
to work out how to make it work.
Yeah.

617
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,120
Meanwhile, over at house three,

618
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,160
Kristy and Brett are at the scene
of their lighting crime.

619
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,000
Last night, the judges
were left in the dark

620
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,720
with their dim lighting decisions.

621
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,120
I think it's a very basic
lighting layout.

622
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,600
All the lighting is literally
sitting over the seating

623
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,120
and so, that...

624
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:29,000
It needs to be pushed back so it's
sort of sits behind or central.

625
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,320
To help shed some light
on a better layout this week,

626
00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:35,280
they've enlisted
some professional help.

627
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,120
KRISTY: After the criticism we got
from judging,

628
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,280
Anton came through from Beacon -
he's a light specialist.

629
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:46,240
One of the things that was suggested
in our feedback was double...

630
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,200
Like, the double downlights.

631
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,920
Double downlights are really nice
because you can adjust them,

632
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,480
so you can choose if you want one
lighting up a feature wall

633
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:54,680
or one straight down.

634
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,680
The other really nice thing
about them as well

635
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,240
is you can actually go for
slightly, like, dimmer downlights

636
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,480
to create a bit more mood.

637
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,400
Now they're moving upstairs
to their master bedroom

638
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,960
situated on the first floor
towards the back of the house.

639
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,040
This week's lighting plan will need
to take into consideration

640
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,120
the placement of their curvy bedhead,

641
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:19,320
leather chair and Venetian plaster
feature wall and artwork.

642
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,560
Kristy wants to amp up the ambience
with pendant lights and a floor lamp

643
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,160
but they'll need
functional downlights as well.

644
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,960
The way that I would personally do
the downlight layout

645
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,440
would...I would probably...

646
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,720
I would...still might go
maybe, like, two in each corner

647
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,040
and then I'd definitely have one
in the corner over there

648
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,960
for the artwork for them
to make it more nice and matchy...

649
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,560
we just have another two there
as well.

650
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:46,880
I personally hate a congested
ceiling and I hate double lights

651
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:53,040
but apparently that's what you gotta
do, so we just filled that bitch up.

652
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,360
Yeah, now, this week
we have 40 double lights.

653
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:56,600
(LAUGHS)
We do.

654
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:57,840
We have that many.

655
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,520
And we're gonna put two
sofa lounges, four TVs. We're done.

656
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,120
Maxing out.

657
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,480
Well, if only they had the budget
to max out this week.

658
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,440
Kristy and Brett
have yet to win a room

659
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,600
but still have to re-stump and floor
their entire downstairs living area.

660
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,560
Luckily, Brett's heard a rumour

661
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,760
of the riches to be had at the
Mitre 10 mysterious claw of destiny.

662
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,320
BRETT: Playing the Mitre 10 claw.

663
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,840
Everyone's keeping this very quiet,
very on the down-low,

664
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,760
so I've caught wind that it's here
and I want to win a big prize.

665
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,960
The claw is a weekly lucky dip
for the Blockheads...

666
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,640
ASH: 500.
Oh, that's awesome.

667
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:37,760
500 bucks.

668
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,600
..where they can win a booby prize

669
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,080
or money to help pay
for their Mitre 10 orders.

670
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,440
BRETT: I want the pig.
We have pugs at home.

671
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,240
'Pig the Pug's the best book ever.

672
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,200
It's on his little fat butt.
Oh, get up.

673
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:54,680
That's it.

674
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,160
Oh, when pigs fly, baby!

675
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,400
Whoo-hoo! Yes!

676
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,920
Oh, five grand!

677
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,360
That's actually massive! Whoo-hoo!

678
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,440
We had $5,000 off of our order,

679
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,560
so we've just halved the price
of all of our downstairs stumping

680
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,160
and that is huge to the budget.

681
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,760
(TOOLS WHINE)

682
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,840
It's late afternoon

683
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,960
and in house five, the girls
have finally settled on a layout

684
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,080
for their bedroom

685
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,440
if Sam from Aluplast can change
the size of their window.

686
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,920
They want to make a window smaller

687
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,400
so they can fit a king bed
and two bedside tables.

688
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,280
Very anxious about the window
situation and narrowing it

689
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,240
but the Aluplast guys
have really come to the party.

690
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:49,480
So we've got -420,
which will give us exactly 1000.

691
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,800
If they can change the window size,

692
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,280
they're planning to continue
their house colour palette

693
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:59,120
of terracotta and blue, seen in
the bedlinen, rug, chair and artwork.

694
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,320
The walk-in robe will have white
enclosed cupboards and grey shelving.

695
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,080
Hate making the window smaller
but it was all we could do.

696
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,520
Oh, yeah.
And it's still nice windows.

697
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:11,960
Still 1000.
Yeah.

698
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,200
1000 is still big window anyway.
Yeah, great. Great.

699
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,560
Very high.
Great, great, great, great!

700
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,720
As another day draws to a close,

701
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,120
Leah and Ash are heading out of town
for their Ford getaway.

702
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,440
We are heading away to Daylesford,

703
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,280
to Hotel 'Bellazino'
to meet Scotty for dinner.

704
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,640
It's Leah and Ash again.

705
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,920
This is our prize
for winning last night.

706
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,760
ASH: Pumped for this.

707
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,000
Wow.

708
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,600
Look at that.

709
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:44,760
Yeah, sick, eh?
How cool!

710
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,160
Daylesford was beautiful.
That hotel was a lovely place.

711
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,360
Oooh-la-la!
Beauty.

712
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,160
How good is this!

713
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,600
A little nudie-rudie arts, isn't it?

714
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,160
(LAUGHS)
Ooh-la-la.

715
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:58,880
(LAUGHS)

716
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,920
Not only is it an ooh-la-la hotel...

717
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,920
Oh!
Hey!

718
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,400
..but I left the ten grand mooh-la-la
prizemoney under their pillow.

719
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,200
And I had promised them
another surprise at dinner...

720
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,800
Cheers, mate.
Oooh.

721
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:14,840
Great to be here.

722
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,760
..after they scored this season's
first perfect ten

723
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,360
at last night's judging.

724
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,560
And the surprise is dessert.
Oh, OK. Yeah.

725
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:27,600
Then he whips out the Arnott's
Big Bikkies tool box.

726
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,120
Big Bikkies. (LAUGHS)

727
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,200
And we opened it up
and it WAS bickies.

728
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,080
Oh.
Oh...

729
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:35,880
More bickies.
Oh, we...

730
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,600
Oi!

731
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,600
At the bottom was big bickies,
you know.

732
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,520
Big, fat stack of cash.

733
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,320
(LAUGHS)
That is $10,000.

734
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,680
Because we got a ten.

735
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,360
If you had have got three tens
last night...

736
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,440
Holy!
(GASPS)

737
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,680
..you would've got $40,000
last night.

738
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,120
If you won and you got three tens...

739
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:03,760
That's...
40 grand.

740
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:04,960
Mmm.

741
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,320
I was gonna say 30 and I was, like,
"Where did you get the 40..."

742
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,720
And I was, like, "Ah-ha. I get it."

743
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,440
She does the budget.

744
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,760
(GULL CRIES)

745
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,440
SCOTT: It's day two of master bedroom
and walk-in robe week

746
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,600
and in house five, the mood is tense.

747
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,920
Eliza and Liberty are worried
their relationship with builder Mark

748
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,520
is crashing and burning

749
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,760
after the girls received some short
and not-so-sweet texts overnight.

750
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,280
This is where things became a little
bit fractured with our builders

751
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,240
because, like,
we voiced how we're struggling

752
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:44,880
and the sort of response was,

753
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,080
"Under no circumstances
will we be plastering

754
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,160
"even if it's, like..."
Mmm.

755
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:51,640
"..desperate times."

756
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,440
LIBERTY: And I was sort of
a bit taken aback by that.

757
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,000
Like, we'd literally just finished
a conversation

758
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,480
where we were, like,
"Just letting you know,

759
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,280
"we're prioritising plasterers.

760
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:10,600
"We've called about 20 people."

761
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,240
And it's like they think
we're not taking that seriously.

762
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:15,440
It's, like, "Just so you know,

763
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,520
"I know you're headed
towards the cliff.

764
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,720
"When you start falling,
we're not grabbing you.

765
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,240
"Just so you know."

766
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,720
So I sent them a message
when I left here

767
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,320
and I just asked if we could have
a plan by 8:00.

768
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,480
Then at least I can forward-plan
for the next day.

769
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,400
And they still weren't 100% sure,
so I just said,

770
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,280
"Look, going forward,
it's almost a non-negotiable

771
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,680
"that we need a plan before Monday

772
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:42,040
"so that we know what we're doing
and we can work efficiently."

773
00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:59,120
"It's a non-negotiable that you have
plans to us a week in advance,"

774
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,040
so essentially, like, on Monday,

775
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,240
we have our plans
for next Monday's room to them

776
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,480
and unfortunately that's not the way
it works.

777
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,440
While this is the first series

778
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,880
where the Blockheads have known
their entire house schedule,

779
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,160
the inexperience of the girls
has been their Achilles heel,

780
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,960
with no room wins
and a dwindling budget.

781
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,280
Knock, knock. Sorry to interrupt.

782
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,640
I didn't want to push you last night

783
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,840
but I just know that if we can get
more of a structure

784
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,800
and a plan together for our rooms,

785
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,600
it'll save you girls
so much more time.

786
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,200
OK, but I feel like there was push,
a lot of push.

787
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:45,280
Like...
Yeah.

788
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,080
And I feel like, for us, this
experience, we're not having fun.

789
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:50,520
Yeah.
We're not happy.

790
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:51,720
We're not sleeping.

791
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,080
And when you leave,
we do another 12 hours of work.

792
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,880
We are zombies
and we're now not, like, delivering.

793
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,320
At the moment, we haven't done
anything in that room.

794
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,760
It's two days down now...
Yep.

795
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,640
..and we've not done a thing.
Yep.

796
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,200
If we were to have a plan earlier...

797
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:08,400
That's not gonna happen.

798
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:09,960
So, is that something
you can work with?

799
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,280
You can't find an hour or two
the week before...

800
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,440
Well, we can, but then
there needs to be an understanding

801
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,480
that something else
will have to give.

802
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,880
# Welcome to the madhouse... #

803
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,280
Back on site, after their luxurious
overnight stay at Daylesford,

804
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:32,000
Leah and Ash have crashed
back to reality,

805
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,640
as they've discovered the Kinsman
wardrobes for their walk-in robe

806
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,160
are just too darn big for the space.

807
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,520
# Welcome to the madhouse. #

808
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,240
Leah and Ash have ordered
floor-to-ceiling Kinsman cabinetry

809
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:44,600
for their walk-in robe.

810
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:45,960
With no room for error,

811
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,000
the measurements
needed to be spot-on.

812
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,920
Our ceilings were 100mm lower
than what they should be.

813
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,600
They got dropped for some reason.

814
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,840
Yeah, there was a compliance issue,
Truecore had said.

815
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,600
While building house two's
steel frames,

816
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,840
Truecore had to reduce
the upstairs ceiling height to 2700,

817
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:08,160
down from 2800
specified in their original plans.

818
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,720
Our cabinets were ordered at 2800...
Yep.

819
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,880
..so, straight away, they were
too tall to even fit in the ceiling.

820
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,760
Mmm. Big oversight here.

821
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,120
I don't know who by.

822
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,440
Definitely not gonna cop that one
'cause...

823
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:29,800
(SIGHS) But you've got...

824
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,200
Like, I keep telling
you contestants, all you guys,

825
00:38:32,240 --> 00:38:33,440
you've got to cross-check
everything.

826
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:34,640
On a Friday?
But no-one does.

827
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,160
Hey, Brycey. Hey, I'm just here
with Leah from house two.

828
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:39,520
MAN: (ON PHONE) Yeah.

829
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:44,440
Apparently their wardrobes
are being built at 2800

830
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,360
but we've only got a 2700 floor
to ceiling.

831
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,160
Yeah, well, they gave us
the measurements to work to...

832
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:52,600
No, I didn't ever give
the measurements.

833
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,960
That's what we signed off on.
No, I never gave the measurement.

834
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,240
I went to Kinsman many weeks ago...

835
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,080
Oooh, I love that.

836
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,760
..to design laundry, kitchen
and walk-in robe.

837
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,560
We can also do you dove grey.

838
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,360
OK.

839
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,280
I designed all three of those
in one day,

840
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:12,800
so there was information overload.

841
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,120
And you have your measurements.
Well done.

842
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:16,960
(LAUGHS) I'm prepared.

843
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,120
We'll just get you to sign off
on the master wardrobe.

844
00:39:24,720 --> 00:39:28,640
Where we come from, we deal with
cabinetmakers all the time.

845
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,200
They always do
their own measurement,

846
00:39:31,240 --> 00:39:33,560
so I just truly didn't think

847
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,440
that that was something
that we had to do.

848
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,240
But on The Block,
things happen so fast

849
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,800
you can't leave anything to chance.

850
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,680
Builder Ash and Leah
have renovated five houses,

851
00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:46,600
so you'd think
double-checking all measurements

852
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:50,320
would be absolutely something
that they had to do.

853
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,600
Let's see what Bryce from Kinsman
feels

854
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,560
about the whole
'measure twice, cut once' thingy.

855
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:56,840
2800.

856
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,520
Finished floor height
to finished ceiling heights.

857
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,480
Leah, that doesn't make
any difference now.

858
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:02,880
Too late.
Yeah, I know that.

859
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,280
I'm just saying.
This is Phil from Kinsman.

860
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:06,480
Yeah.
He's on the phone.

861
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:11,400
He found the 2800 from these plans
and that's what he's designed it to.

862
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,240
Yeah, but you also gave us
those measurements

863
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,040
to work to in the first place.

864
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,440
This wasn't built.

865
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,760
This has been built
for two weeks up here.

866
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,720
Dan was saying
"Why didn't you measure?"

867
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,760
and I thought, "OK, well,
I didn't really think we needed to,"

868
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,160
so I guess
that's misunderstanding number one.

869
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:31,920
Hold it, hold it.

870
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,920
Let's dust off the Block rulebook
and check the rules.

871
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,960
Here's that thingy
I mentioned earlier.

872
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,440
Ye shall measure twice and cut once.

873
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,640
Will they never learn?

874
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,480
Don't you guys think
that when this structure came up,

875
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:49,760
you would come and double-check?

876
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,200
Bryce can't be here every day.
How are we gonna double-check?

877
00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:54,160
You, as the contestant,
as the builder...

878
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,680
We signed off on something.
If you guys were nervous about...

879
00:40:56,720 --> 00:41:00,240
If you guys ever second-guessed
the plan,

880
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,480
then we all should've been
reconfirming.

881
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,800
You're throwing this all back on us
when you're the actual contestant.

882
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,160
You've got a builder on site.

883
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,440
The responsibility to sign off
is your responsibility.

884
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,480
We work to those drawings.
I just remember them...

885
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,240
If there's any situation
where you feel there's a problem,

886
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:17,800
then we need to be notified
accordingly.

887
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,440
I never thought there was a problem.
Because you didn't check.

888
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,240
(LAUGHS)
Like, you do that in the real world.

889
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:23,720
You obviously get your plans...
Yeah.

890
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,200
..and you cross-check on site
physically.

891
00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:26,760
You missed that step...
No. When...

892
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,160
..and now you're throwing it
on Kinsman.

893
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,680
Dan was just, like,
falling it back onto me,

894
00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:34,920
which I'll take that a little bit,

895
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,000
but what I cannot stand

896
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:41,360
is when there is zero ownership
on the other side.

897
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,040
Do you understand, like, there is
a chance you could've picked it up?

898
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:46,960
It's your project.

899
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,800
You're responsible for this project.
Yeah.

900
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:49,840
Alright?

901
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,920
So, as far as I'm concerned, the
ceiling height is whatever it is.

902
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,840
The joinery is built.

903
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,800
Probably the simplest solution

904
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,560
is to just delete the top row
of cabinets...

905
00:41:58,600 --> 00:41:59,600
Yep.

906
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,520
..which will bring it back
to 2300...

907
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:02,640
Yep.

908
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,840
..and they'll just have to do
a bulkhead above that.

909
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,320
Far out.

910
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,080
Poor old Brycey.
He just wants to come and install.

911
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:13,280
Coming up...

912
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,720
Ladies and gentlemen,
my special guest is here.

913
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,120
It's judge Marty Fox!

914
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,160
..the Blockheads'
not-so-favourite judge...

915
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,360
Nice to see you all.
(CRICKETS CHIRP)

916
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,920
..as he puts their living rooms
through the Marty wringer.

917
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:27,800
This is a bit different.
Yep.

918
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,400
I think this is probably a little
bit too heavy for the room.

919
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:31,480
And that needs to go.

920
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,280
I can't give it a ten
because of that fireplace.

921
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,280
He's probably in his little...
safe little pocket...

922
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,040
Oh...
"Let's sell houses.

923
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:39,560
"They're all white
'cause they're easy."

926
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,960
SCOTT: It's late on day two
of master bedroom week

927
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,200
and in house one, Kyle and Leslie
are thinking bigger is better

928
00:42:55,240 --> 00:42:56,880
for their master bedroom.

929
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,600
We deleted a wall, so there's
no longer a rumpus upstairs.

930
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,600
There'll just be a landing
when you come in

931
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,960
and we've actually extended
the master because it was small.

932
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,560
After copping a serve for their
tiny-sized living room last week,

933
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:12,200
Kyle and Leslie don't want to make
the same mistake again.

934
00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:13,600
For our master bedroom this week,

935
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:17,160
on the back of the comments
about the size of the living room,

936
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:21,080
we're essentially opening up
that wall to the rumpus room

937
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,400
and that whole space will now become
part of the master bedroom.

938
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,920
They'll be using
that 11 square metres of space

939
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:29,920
to create a retreat area.

940
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:31,160
And I tell you right now,

941
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,600
if we didn't do that,
I can guarantee, come Sunday...

942
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,160
The comments would've been
"Too small for a master bedroom."

943
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,560
The bedroom will have
their cosy seating area

944
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,240
and feature a soothing palette
of whites and creams

945
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,000
with bold art pieces.

946
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,200
And the hero, a rendered blade wall
with a curve.

947
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,720
We've got Peter to build a wall
out from there

948
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,800
which is gonna feature an arch
above the bed.

949
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,160
We were supposed to do it
at the same time. Go again.

950
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,520
Peter from Truecore
is gonna build a wall out

951
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,480
and it's gonna have an arch in it.

952
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,320
(LAUGHS)
(BLEEP)

953
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:04,880
(BOTH LAUGH)

954
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,560
Behind that arched bedhead wall,

955
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,480
their walk-in robe will have white
cupboards with simple white handles,

956
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,200
plus a make-up table
and matching white stool.

957
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:19,040
We've got robes all on this side
and then we've got robes here,

958
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,000
with a space in between
for a make-up mirror.

959
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:25,000
While Kyle and Leslie are feeling
good about their wardrobe plan,

960
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,760
next door, Leah and Ash
are trying to solve the problem

961
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,000
of making theirs fit.

962
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,880
Their pre-ordered cabinetry
was 100mm too tall

963
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:39,560
after new ceiling heights
weren't passed onto Kinsman.

964
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,080
Bryce suggested deleting
the top row of the cupboards

965
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,600
but Leah wasn't on board
with that idea,

966
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,640
so her builder Rob has come up with
another plan.

967
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:51,200
You should do no kick
so that you've got your 20mm carpet

968
00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:53,520
and then we just come up another ten
and that's the bottom...

969
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:54,560
Yeah. Yep, yep.

970
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,680
So you've just got a shadow line
around your door. OK.

971
00:44:56,720 --> 00:45:01,000
Normally with cabinets,
your kick is that piece that...

972
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,200
ASH: Sits at the bottom. It's 100mm.
..sits at the bottom.

973
00:45:03,240 --> 00:45:07,200
So we came up with a really good
solution to drop the kick.

974
00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:10,400
Which is what we do anyway
on all our high-end jobs.

975
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,080
We don't have a kicker.
High-end. Hear that?

976
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,840
How good's that! 100mm. Eugh!

977
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,480
So we were, like, "Oh, look,
we'll just get rid of the kick

978
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:19,720
"and then it'll be fine."

979
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:24,160
Yep. That should fit like a glove -
in a high-end wardrobe.

980
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,360
How good are we at solutions!

981
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,040
This is the thing, right?
I'm loving it.

982
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,480
I'm really loving it.

983
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,440
With the biggest master bedroom
and walk-in robe this week,

984
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:39,920
house four know they are in
for some long nights ahead,

985
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,880
so Gian heads to Kennards
for some inspo...

986
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:45,560
Stop it.

987
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,680
..so they can work
on their master bedroom at night.

988
00:45:47,720 --> 00:45:49,440
You can get the fluff out of the way

989
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,560
and you can adjust them
wherever you need it. So good.

990
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,160
Meanwhile, Gian's better half, Steph,

991
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:58,600
is out with Leslie and Liberty
hunting down some plush bedding.

992
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,360
We'll take one each.

993
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,240
This is genuinely putting me
to sleep, laying on this.

994
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:04,560
Oh!

995
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,640
But there seems to be less choosing
and more snoozing.

996
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:09,280
Wait, I don't have a pillow.
Oh!

997
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,200
I'm in the middle.
But I don't have a pillow.

998
00:46:11,240 --> 00:46:13,320
Have you ever felt more comfortable
in your life?

999
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:14,880
It's perfect.

1000
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:18,840
And yours truly is filling up
the Aldi trolley

1001
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,000
for a surprise barbie
for the Blockheads.

1002
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,680
Wagyu beef sausages.

1003
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,160
It's like feeding strawberries
to pigs, but we'll get them.

1004
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,000
Ah, there's nothing like a barbie.

1005
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:36,280
And you know what, swanky sausages
might not be the only surprise.

1006
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,960
Is it now or...?
You can eat.

1007
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,400
OK.
Oh!

1008
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,160
I thought there was gonna be
an announcement...

1009
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,000
Did you say sausages were ready?
Mm-hm.

1010
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:48,240
When Scotty hosts a barbecue,
you always know something's coming.

1011
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,080
He doesn't just do it just for
the hell of it. Something's coming.

1012
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,240
We're getting ready for a challenge
at this point.... Yeah. ..mentally.

1013
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,000
T sauce.
Great.

1014
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:56,400
Scotch fillet there.

1015
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,200
He started the barbecue,
old Scotty Cam,

1016
00:46:59,240 --> 00:47:02,680
and then he was, like,
"But wait, there's more."

1017
00:47:02,720 --> 00:47:05,040
I've invited a very special guest
to our barbecue tonight.

1018
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,040
CONTESTANTS: Who?
Oooh, you're gonna love it.

1019
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:12,080
They're going to love it, because
it's their favourite guest judge.

1020
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,160
Who can forget these truth bombs?

1021
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:15,880
Well, I appreciate the boldness.

1022
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,400
But does the boldness
bring in the biscuits?

1023
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,160
It's a little bit...
For me, a little bit bland.

1024
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:22,520
Bland.

1025
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:26,600
It just seems like they have missed
the mark on who the buyer is.

1026
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:30,080
The finesse in the styling,
it seems very juvenile.

1027
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:33,200
LESLIE: And the special guest was...

1028
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,640
Ladies and gentlemen,
my special guest is here.

1029
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,000
It's judge Marty Fox!

1030
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:40,520
(LAUGHTER)
MARTY: How we going?

1031
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,400
Jeez, what a reception, Marty.
Nice to see you all.

1032
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:44,560
Hi, Marty.
Having a barbie.

1033
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:45,600
Hi, Marty.

1034
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,120
You know when, like,
you're having a really good time

1035
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:49,320
and hanging out with your friends

1036
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,400
and then someone brings their friend
that nobody likes?

1037
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:56,160
(BOTH LAUGH)

1038
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,360
It was kind of like that.

1039
00:47:58,400 --> 00:47:59,920
Hello. How are you?
MARTY: Good to see you.

1040
00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:01,320
Hello.
Eliza.

1041
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:02,640
BOTH: Mwah.

1042
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,000
We had had a shocker day
with all of the conversations, etc,

1043
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:07,040
with our builders,

1044
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,360
so this could not have come
at a worse time for us

1045
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:10,760
because we have made it very clear

1046
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,080
that Marty Fox is not our favourite
person. ELIZA: Not for us.

1047
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:14,800
LEAH: Nice to meet you.
BOTH: Mwah.

1048
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,320
Definitely the quietist
I've seen Leah for a while.

SCOTT: I'm hosting a barbecue tonight

1053
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,240
and I've invited
judge Marty Fox along

1054
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,240
to give the Blockheads
some all-important insights

1055
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,680
into the real estate market
face to face.

1056
00:48:38,720 --> 00:48:40,320
It's judge Marty Fox!

1057
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,040
CONTESTANTS: Hey!
How are we going?

1058
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,720
But not everyone is happy to see him.

1059
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:50,160
At the moment,
he's not a very popular person.

1060
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:53,480
I think everyone's quite scarred
from his comments.

1061
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:56,720
This isn't hitting the mark
from a buyer's perspective.

1062
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,840
They're sitting in a lane
that is very dangerous.

1063
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,480
We've got Moroccan,
we've got New York.

1064
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,480
This is a bag of Skittles.
It is all over the shop.

1065
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,560
I don't know what colour
I'm looking at here.

1066
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,240
I think the styling is so bad

1067
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,120
that had it had it have been empty,
I would've been happier.

1068
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:20,120
I just don't appreciate his big-dog
comments without constructiveness.

1069
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,640
What a reception you just received.

1070
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:25,600
There was a real cheer in the room,
wasn't there?

1071
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:26,840
(LAUGHTER)

1072
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,080
'Cause you are a hard taskmaster
on the judging, aren't you?

1073
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,200
So I thought I'd bring Marty along
so he can have a chat to you all

1074
00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:34,120
about how do you get a ten
off Marty Fox.

1075
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,520
It didn't really bother us
seeing Marty in that sense

1076
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,280
because Marty's on our train.
(LAUGHS)

1077
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,680
The craftsmanship is superb.
Their vision is clear.

1078
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:46,840
We've had no negative feedback
from Marty Fox,

1079
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,600
so I was very delighted to see him,
actually.

1080
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:50,440
They really get it.
SHAYNNA: Mmm.

1081
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,880
I mean, you can just see how
their marketing will come together.

1082
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,560
Ask any questions you like, 'cause
you want to get a ten, don't you?

1083
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:57,720
CONTESTANTS: Mmm.

1084
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,600
Well, I'm looking forward
to giving a ten... Yeah.

1085
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,760
..but it comes down to
doing a perfect room.

1086
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,200
Every single room really counts

1087
00:50:04,240 --> 00:50:06,480
and when you put everything
on the line,

1088
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,240
you need to think of materiality,
floor plan,

1089
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:10,760
the marketability of the room,

1090
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:14,040
you know, how will that room
resonate to a buyer

1091
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:15,280
in the marketplace?

1092
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,240
And I look at those things,
I add those up

1093
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,680
and that's where the scores come
from, particularly in this market.

1094
00:50:19,720 --> 00:50:21,560
Have you seen
our living-dining areas?

1095
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:22,680
I haven't seen anything.
OK.

1096
00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:24,680
So if you want some live feedback,
I'm here.

1097
00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:27,360
Can you give us a score?
Alright. Let's do it. House one.

1098
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:31,560
Last week's living and dining was
judged by Neale, Shaynna and Darren,

1099
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,160
so this is Marty's first look
at the rooms.

1100
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,000
All this feedback that we got

1101
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,920
had nothing to do with the design
and the style of it.

1102
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,640
It was our space
and how limited it was.

1103
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:43,520
MARTY: Your finish
is always stunning.

1104
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,640
You know, your materiality
is on point.

1105
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:50,160
But if this was a living space
for a home on this land in this area,

1106
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,720
with the bedrooms that you have,
this is extremely compromised...

1107
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:53,760
Yeah.

1108
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:55,400
..because if you looked
at the square meterage,

1109
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:57,560
it's essentially comparable
to that of a two-bedroom apartment.

1110
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:58,600
Yeah.

1111
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,920
So that just needs to be
your biggest rectification.

1112
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:03,520
His comments have always been
fairly positive

1113
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:05,120
with our spaces and stuff like that,

1114
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,680
so I didn't really feel like
we needed to pick his brain

1115
00:51:07,720 --> 00:51:08,800
a hell of a lot.

1116
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,840
What's great about your house
is that it doesn't feel gimmicky

1117
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,320
and that's what a lot of people can
fall into the trap of.

1118
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,440
They're doing things that really
won't stand the test of time...

1119
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:17,480
Yeah.

1120
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:21,200
..and your style, your palette, your
tones, everything that you're doing

1121
00:51:21,240 --> 00:51:23,280
really fits that Melbourne market.

1122
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,240
I mean, I love your style.

1123
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,400
I've judged some of your rooms
really well.

1124
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:31,440
BOTH: Yeah.

1125
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:32,480
We love Marty.
(LAUGHS)

1126
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:33,840
Marty's on the Steph and Gian train,

1127
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:35,400
so we were definitely excited
to see him.

1128
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:36,960
Beautiful finish, great tones.

1129
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,120
Look, all in all,
he liked the style.

1130
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,080
The carry-through of the beams,
you're staying consistent.

1131
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,080
Yeah.
And the market loves consistency.

1132
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,120
You're a strong mind...
Yep. (LAUGHS)

1133
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:47,920
..and you want to stick
to what you're doing

1134
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:49,280
and I admire that as well.

1135
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,680
I mean, look, having feedback from
Marty saying "Keep doing you,"

1136
00:51:52,720 --> 00:51:55,080
"it's working"
is always validating, I think.

1137
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:56,680
(HORN TOOTS)
It was a good comment.

1138
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,280
Alright. Ah.

1139
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:06,960
Wow.

1140
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:08,320
It actually went really well.

1141
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,560
Honestly, he came with
great positive feedback.

1142
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,800
It's got a really nice soft feel,
you know.

1143
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,000
Yeah.
It's quite calming.

1144
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,280
We've actually heard that.
So, we did hear the calming comment.

1145
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,320
This is quite an interesting
sort of piece...

1146
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:20,360
Yes.
..in the hallway.

1147
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,120
I love the thinking of that,
by the way.

1148
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:23,160
Yeah.
It's different.

1149
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,320
It actually gives this area
a bit more personality

1150
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,960
and makes it feel more open
to what is to come.

1151
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:30,960
Yes. OK. Great.
I think that's really important.

1152
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,400
He liked our decisions to create
the flow with the fireplace.

1153
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:34,840
He was very positive about it.

1154
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:36,560
A couple of bits of advice.
Yep.

1155
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:39,240
I think this is probably a little bit
too heavy for the room. Sure.

1156
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,000
And that piece of artwork
needs to go. Yes.

1157
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,600
I think a landscape that's got
that sort of reddy tone through it,

1158
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,240
to pick up and lift everything
that you've got in here would be...

1159
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,080
Amazing.

1160
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:49,160
This is great.
Awesome.

1161
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:50,320
Awesome, man. Love the feedback.

1162
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,200
PRODUCER: Turns out
he's a nice bloke after all.

1163
00:52:52,240 --> 00:52:53,640
Yeah. I mean, I didn't mind him.

1164
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:54,800
Kristy's off him.

1165
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,840
Clearly Leah's got beef with him.
(BOTH LAUGH)

1166
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,880
Yeah, so, this is obviously
the big...

1167
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,400
Yeah.
..conversation starter.

1168
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:11,480
Yeah.

1169
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,640
Would I personally do
the pink fireplace?

1170
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:16,320
Yeah.
No.

1171
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:20,360
Have you tied it in and does it feel
like a very deliberate move? Yes.

1172
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,880
Stuff like this obviously you've got
great scores this week but...

1173
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:24,000
Yeah.

1174
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,280
..it's got to translate, you know,
into you actually winning The Block.

1175
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,480
He's, like, "Oh, wouldn't have done
the pink wall."

1176
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,600
I would and I'd do it again.
Yeah. Sorry, Marty.

1177
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,560
What would you have scored this?
What would have I scored this?

1178
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:39,240
Look, for me, it's probably a nine.

1179
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:41,360
It's a ten.
For me, it's a nine.

1180
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:42,760
I'm happy with that, Marty.
Yeah.

1181
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,560
If you're gonna give me a nine,
that's brilliant.

1182
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:45,600
But do you know why?

1183
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,120
The marketability to the actual buyer
is where, for me...

1184
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:49,760
Yeah.
That's what you're looking at. Yeah.

1185
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:53,400
I have to. As a person that's got
15 years in the game... Yeah.

1186
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:54,480
..on the real estate side,

1187
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,680
I can't give it a ten
just because of that fireplace.

1188
00:53:57,720 --> 00:53:58,880
That's all.

1189
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:00,920
He's probably in his little
safe little pocket of...

1190
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:01,960
Oh...

1191
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,200
.."Let's sell houses that are all
white because they're easy."

1192
00:54:04,240 --> 00:54:06,200
"You can't sell that."
What, you can't sell...

1193
00:54:06,240 --> 00:54:07,840
Oh, Ash. You're being...
You can't sell awesome?

1194
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,360
You're just going too far now.
You can't sell awesome? OK.

1195
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:17,920
Oh, wow.

1196
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,920
So is it a good "Oh, wow"
or a "Oh...wow"?

1197
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:22,160
This is a bit different.

1198
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,360
We've asked Marty for his feedback

1199
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:28,160
and as per usual,
he gave us his honest feedback.

1200
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:29,880
This really works.
Yeah.

1201
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,000
The furniture choice around this...
Yep. Mmm.

1202
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:33,360
..probably doesn't.
Yep.

1203
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,680
I mean, imagine an amazing
semicircle couch here.

1204
00:54:35,720 --> 00:54:37,160
Yeah.
It would go really well.

1205
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:38,200
Yeah.

1206
00:54:38,240 --> 00:54:39,760
Constructive feedback this time
at least,

1207
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:43,600
just about orientation of our room,
styling, etc.

1208
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:45,160
Oh!

1209
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,680
I've got this as one of my tables
in one of the offices.

1210
00:54:47,720 --> 00:54:49,440
Do you really?
I do. I love this table.

1211
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,840
I can just see this hosting
some amazing family dinners.

1212
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:53,360
Mmm.
Great entertaining.

1213
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,160
My big win here for you guys

1214
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,280
is just that you toned it down
a little bit.

1215
00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:58,360
Yeah.

1216
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,920
The boldness in choosing that
fireplace deserves a great score.

1217
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,840
If I could do a 0.25, I'd do an 8.25.

1218
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,680
Lucky you weren't on the scoreboard
this week.

1219
00:55:05,720 --> 00:55:06,720
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah?

1220
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,640
We got three nines, baby.
You had three nines? Yeah.

1221
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:10,200
It was so annoying that he was nice

1222
00:55:10,240 --> 00:55:11,560
because we honestly wanted
to hate him.

1223
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,560
We wanted him to be a bully,
we wanted him to be awful

1224
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,160
but we actually quite like him,
annoyingly so.

1225
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,280
But also, we think that he'll be
kinder to us now

1226
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:20,920
because he knows us.

1227
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:25,000
No. I think you're delusional
if you think he's gonna ease up.

1228
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:26,480
I think we're gonna continue...

1229
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,440
or he's gonna continue
to grind our gears.

1230
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:31,480
(SIGHS) This life is not for me.

1231
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:32,680
VOICEOVER: Tomorrow...

1232
00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:34,680
I truly despise every second
of this.

1233
00:55:34,720 --> 00:55:37,640
Master bedrooms take their toll.
(SQUEAL)

1234
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:39,600
None of this is fun to me!

1235
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,960
I hate every minute of it.
I'd rather die than be here.

1236
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,080
"I'd rather die than be here."
(LAUGHS)

1237
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,000
And, friend...

1238
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,520
It was a game play
to be friendly at the beginning.

1239
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:51,360
The rest of it's fake. (LAUGHS)

1240
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:52,640
..or frenemy?

1241
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,680
Steph is very easy
to get into her head.

1242
00:55:55,720 --> 00:55:59,480
I can suggest something
and it will eat her away.

1243
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,000
Sneaky mind games begin.

1244
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:03,800
You're clearly messing with her.

1245
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:05,600
PRODUCER: Are you?
Yeah.
