00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,520
SCOTT: A few days ago
during backyard week...

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,800
It's an $80,000 landscape out there
for 35 grand.

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:09,080
It's a lot.

4
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:10,840
..an accusation by house two...

5
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,800
Do you mind if I go and ask
for an audit on your backyard?

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,240
..did not go down well
with their neighbours.

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,200
Well, no, you don't get to go around
and treat people like that

8
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:21,480
and then also go,

9
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,280
"Well, I'll also have
your Block Bucks."

10
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,320
I'm taking my Camerich Block Bucks
back off Leah.

11
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:27,520
(PHONE RINGING)

12
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,560
SCOTT: And Leah felt the full force
of Leslie's retaliation.

13
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,480
Unfortunately, we cannot deliver
all of those items for you.

14
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:36,720
It was Friday.

15
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,520
That was all my key furniture items.

16
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:40,880
There is nothing dirtier

17
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,200
than taking back a deal

18
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,520
and also doing it
behind your (BLEEP) back.

19
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,640
Dirty, dirty, dirty.

20
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,400
SCOTT: But house two
pulled it together for judging.

21
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,080
Choosing to hold onto their gnome...

22
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:54,560
Save it till next week, buddy.

23
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:55,760
..they missed on the win...

24
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,080
..by half a point!

25
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,400
It's Steph and Gian.

26
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,440
(APPLAUSE)

27
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,360
SCOTT: Tonight, with the auction
just days away,

28
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,200
the final week begins.

29
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,640
Getting a facade right
is so important.

30
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,680
SCOTT: You only get one chance
at a first impression.

31
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,280
The first thing
that you're going to see

32
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:14,480
is a massive thing to get right.

33
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,280
SCOTT: Another reason to go hard,
the Mustang Mach-E,

34
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:21,360
which will go home with the winning
team of front facade week.

35
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,920
Swap the gnome for keys
to a Mustang.

36
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:27,880
SCOTT: There are two gnomes in play
for the big car prize this week.

37
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,120
One belonging to Leah and Ash...

38
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,480
(LAUGHS)
..and the other belongs

39
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:32,720
to Kyle and Leslie.

40
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,120
For now, anyway.

41
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,000
And then it was, like,
"Can we sell it?"

42
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,120
(LAUGHTER)

43
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:41,080
Boys and girls, let me teach you
a lesson

44
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,440
in how to really (BLEEP) up
in the last week.

45
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:44,840
(LAUGHTER)

46
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,120
SCOTT: Buckle up, people.

47
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,800
You are in for one hell of a ride
this week.

48
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,600
Be a dick and I'll be a dick back.

49
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:53,600
(SEAGULL SQUAWKS)

50
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,520
(THUNDER)

51
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,320
SCOTT: This is final week
of The Block 2023.

52
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,080
Our blockheads have just seven days

53
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,720
to complete the front garden
and facade,

54
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,560
and everything else
left inside the house.

55
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,720
# Closing time...

56
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,480
This is our last...

57
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,560
The last moment to finish
what we've done.

58
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,720
There's no more weeks after this.

59
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,160
So, what happens?

60
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,560
I've been sooking
for the last three weeks

61
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,680
about wanting to go,

62
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,840
and now I'm, like,
I kinda don't want to.

63
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,360
It's pretty sad.

64
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,800
I don't want it to be over.

65
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,040
# Closing time...

66
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,240
SCOTT: But one team who do want
it to be over is house five.

67
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,760
When the scores came in
at HQ last night,

68
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,720
Eliza and Liberty came dead last

69
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,560
with the four judges criticising

70
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,160
the concrete in their backyard.

71
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,360
I don't like it.
Is it finished?

72
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,640
That's what is - what we call
burnished concrete.

73
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,000
There's a lot of it.

74
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,000
SCOTT: It just feels cold and harsh.

75
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,600
They're really concerned

76
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:03,480
your prospective buyers
will feel the same way.

77
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,000
MARTY: This, for me, is...

78
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,040
It's a disaster.

79
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,840
I've seen enough, guys. I'm sorry.

80
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,560
It's confronting not getting
one single positive comment.

81
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,240
Like, we literally did not get
a single positive comment.

82
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,200
Hey, guys.
How are you going? You're alright?

83
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,480
(BLEEP)
No good?

84
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,600
What's wrong?

85
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,280
We'll talk later.
You right?

86
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,520
Chin up, mate.

87
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:41,400
It hit us so hard because we put
our absolute heart, soul,

88
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,680
mind, bodies, blood, sweat,
and tears into it.

89
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,120
ELIZA: I just can't even be here.

90
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,840
I feel really...

91
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,720
I just feel really low.

92
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,960
LIBERTY: I know. Same.

93
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,560
ELIZA: We feel like
the judges' comments,

94
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,480
it was painful to us to sit back
and listen.

95
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,080
We just felt disappointed in them
and the process and everything.

96
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,840
Waking up and, you know,

97
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,960
having to do the Domain
Open for Inspections,

98
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,400
like, everything just feels
a bit too raw.

99
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,520
The decision was made

100
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,600
that maybe it wouldn't be beneficial
for us to do it.

101
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,560
I'm really sad I couldn't be there
to support our contestants

102
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,400
and see what they'd done
in that moment.

103
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,200
I was just pretty selfish
and, like, I don't know.

104
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,200
I was just P I felt like
I was drowning.

105
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,040
SCOTT: So, while the girls
take a breather,

106
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,400
the rest of our teams
are cracking on

107
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,760
with this morning's
Open for Inspections.

108
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,360
Steph and Gian spent over 70 grand
on their backyard,

109
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,320
the most money spent by any team,

110
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,120
and the judges loved
every single cent of it,

111
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,040
awarding house for the win
with a score of 38 out of 40,

112
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,240
including a perfect ten
from Shaynna.

113
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:52,520
I want to swear.

114
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,080
(LAUGHS) Then swear.
I want to swear

115
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,960
because this is so F-ing good.

116
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,880
SHAYNNA: It feels so phenomenal.

117
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,320
MARTY: It's unbelievable.

118
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,640
It's just amazing.

119
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,880
I've just never been so passionate
about a backyard.

120
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,880
The fact that the judges saw that
gives us lots of confidence.

121
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,920
So, yeah, lucky for us, we scored
a ten and also took the win home,

122
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,240
so that's 20 grand for us.
(CASH REGISTER RINGS)

123
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,640
Wow.

124
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,840
Welcome to tranquilly.

126
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,160
KYLE: How they didn't get
more tens...

127
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,480
LESLIE: Yeah.

128
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,840
It's really an oasis.

129
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,360
ASH: It is. There's so many plants
out here.

130
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,160
LEAH: It's beautiful.
There's so many plants.

131
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,920
Um...
I'm kind of not blown away by it.

132
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,800
You're not blown away?
Like, it's good.

133
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:35,840
It's finished very well,
it's very nice, it all ties in

134
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,720
and everything's good,
but like functionality-wise

135
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,880
and what they could've done,
especially with their budget.

136
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,280
LESLIE: Like, a sauna. Where do you
get off having a sauna? Honestly.

137
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,560
This is stunning.

138
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,160
They should have got tens
on this alone.

139
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,160
Oh!
Devo!

00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,760
SCOTT: The judges loved
Ash and Leah's backyard too.

142
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,200
They would have won
had they used their gnome.

143
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,320
Instead, they came second
by just half a point,

144
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,160
scoring a total of 37 and a half
out of 40.

145
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,360
It's very calming.

146
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,400
You know, like, it's got
those beautiful areas.

147
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,280
It's got that whimsical sort of
pathway over to the fire pit.

148
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,760
There's a lot of usable space here.
Just gorgeous.

149

lining up.

Yep.
This is so liveable.

00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,160

is so small, it did need P

GIAN: It's very...
It feels very good.

155
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,440
GIAN: It feels very curvy,

156
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,040
which obviously is the theme
of the house.

157
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,120
Mimics the house.

158
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,640
The proportions are right in here.
Like, it's very usable.

159
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,720
Every single zone is usable.

160
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,800
I really, really like it.
Yeah.

161
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:40,000
Oh, this is cool.

163
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,360
Nice.

164

(CHUCKLES)
Also nice.

165
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,000
I don't know why house two

166
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,560
was too worried about the grass
on the other side of the fence.

167
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,120
They obviously had a great idea.

168
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,720
It was executed well. Like...

169
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,640
Yeah, they've got
a fantastic backyard.

170
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:55,840
I think, for me, it's just...

171
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,440
OK, that's enough
of the compliments. Um...

172
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,040
Like, no, it is.
It is.

173
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,880
It's an amazing backyard.
But it's just...

174
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:06,000
It's annoying that they had so much
focus on what we were doing.

175
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,360
What a shame.

176
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,760
Camerich chair's nice.

177
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,640
Yeah, it's a big lounger, hey?

178
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,120
Oh, look. We should get some money
from this sale

179
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,120
because you can hear
the calming water effects

180
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,320
from our water feature.

181
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,680
(RUNNING WATER)
(BELL RINGS)

182
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:22,920
It sounds nice when you're up here.

183
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,560
Adds to the tranquilly in here,
you know?

184
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,560
Adds to the tranquilly
of their yard.

185
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,400
That's definitely a bonus.
They should put it on the brochure.

186
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,880
SCOTT: Over the fence at house one,

187
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,040
while the judges loved
Kyle and Leslie's pool,

188
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,200
they felt it wasn't
very family-friendly

189
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,480
and awarded house one third
with a 33 out of 40.

190
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,120
This is incredible.

191
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,400
Look at these steppers.

192
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,520
From a marketing perspective,

193
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,240
buyers will just say,
"I've got to see it."

194
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,880
But from a practicality perspective,
if I had my kids here,

195
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,040
I would be stressing of the kids
falling off left right and centre.

196
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,400
Hmm, this is what's been happening
over the fence this week.

197
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,120
Yeah, look, can't say I'm loving it.

198
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,600
The grass is horrendous.

199
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,080
GIAN: Oh, wow.

200
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,880
STEPH: I mean, this is amazing.

201
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,280
GIAN: Look at the steps!

202
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,520
This is probably what he meant
about a trip hazard. Like...

203
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,400
STEPH: OK, you could
actually fall down there.

204
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,720
Imagine falling down there.
Very nice on the eye though.

205
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,600
It's a wild space. Like, honestly...
Unreal.

206
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,520
..as a selling point for this home,

207
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,880
I think, to the buyer, this backyard
has a huge appeal for it.

208
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,360
I think it will sell really well.

209
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,360
If you're into it...

210
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,480
..good on you.

211
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,560
SCOTT: House three's backyard
did not fare well with the judges.

212
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,640
Coming in second last
with 28 points out of 40,

213
00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:44,360
guest judge, Dave Franklin,

214
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,520
saw little to like
about their space.

215
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:48,880
I don't know what to say.

216
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,560
I'm actually a little bit
bored here.

217
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,200
It's not really giving me
anything at all.

218
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,320
I hate the pebble. That's not lush.

219
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,560
The pool is the best part
about this backyard.

220
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:57,840
There's not much else I can say.

221
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,320
SHAYNNA: A lot has let it down.

222
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,200
House three.

223
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,760
Oh, nice.

224
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,680
I don't hate the pebbles. I mean...

225
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,000
KYLE: Maybe it's just the colour.

226
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,960
I don't mind them
but there's lots of them.

227
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,320
LEAH: Looks better than what it was,

228
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,120
but that was just a big pile
of dirt,

229
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,320
so, I guess, like, anything's
an improvement.

230
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:21,600
House three, unfortunately,
seems a bit like a DIY job.

231
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,680
What the hell's this?

232
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,920
Like, what is that?

233
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,400
A nothing thing.

234
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,960
A bit of moss and grass.

235
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,400
But you're right, it is very DIY.

236
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,560
That space.

237
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,360
STEPH: It does feel rushed
and not really thought out.

238
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,280
I don't hate it.
No.

239
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,880
LEAH: Our last Domain
Open for Inspection.

240
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,280
How good.

241
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,640
SCOTT: After copping all that
criticism from the judges,

242
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:48,320
the girls' backyard came last

243
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,640
with a total score
of 27 points out of 40.

244
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,480
It's a big door.

245
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,880
STEPH: I really like this area.

246
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:02,560
I think this is really nice.

247
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,080
Nice beautiful table,
so they've brought in the warmth.

248
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,320
KRISTY: I like the colours.

249
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,200
Good little station.

250
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,760
STEPH: The fact that they did
integrated. It's like a big win.

251
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,520
I think it's awesome.
That's a big win there.

252
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:15,000
BRETT: Oh, this opens up good.

253
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,920
LEAH: Oh, wow. How bright
and sunny is this?

254
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,520
Nice.
This is so fresh.

255
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,400
What's wrong with the concrete?

256
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,200
Genuinely, it's on the record.
I love burnished concrete.

257
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,400
Yeah, same.

258
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,480
Oh, house five, we loved.

259
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,480
They had all the zones,
they're ticking all the boxes,

260
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,840
they've got all the spaces.
I don't understand

261
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,680
why we got fixated
on a burnished concrete slab.

262
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,240
We like burnished slabs.
We have one at our house.

263
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,960
SCOTT: While the blockheads loved
house five's backyard,

264
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,960
the girls, however, can't get past
the judges' comments.

265
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,480
LIBERTY: We're just (BLEEP) off.

266
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:53,680
ASH: What happened? About what?

267
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,160
ELIZA: I actually can't even talk P
I can't even talk about it.

268
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,840
Yeah.

269
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,160
It's just been a lot.

270
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,880
Like, we just obviously received
really brutal feedback last night,

271
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,440
and now, those comments
are out there

272
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,600
and potentially detrimental
to the sale of our house.

273
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,800
The damage has been done.

274
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,720
We've got the judges there,
like, standing there,

275
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,400
like, we... That's...

276
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,720
A lot of the feedback was things
that were out of our control,

277
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,040
ie, putting concrete down.

278
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:25,360
SCOTT: Last week, the girls' plan
for extensive decking

279
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,480
was rejected because of the height
of their house.

280
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,440
Did you hear? We're not allowed
decking?

281
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,200
That was something we were just old.

282
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,120
We were concreting that. Right?

283
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,160
Because that was something
that we were always doing

284
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,560
because of your height restrictions
and you couldn't do a deck.

285
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,600
Cool.

286
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,640
SCOTT: Restrictions meant
there was not enough clearance

287
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:43,120
below floor level for a deck,

288
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,320
so the girls went
for a concrete slab

289
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,960
and what they chose
to put on top of the slab,

290
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,840
be it decking or tiles,
was up to them.

291
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,720
So, they opted for a burnished
concrete finish.

292
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,800
We've come up with a plan,
the best we can with what we've got.

293
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,760
Concrete was not a decision
that we made.

294
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,000
LEAH: Yeah.

295
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,200
We just find it frustrating

296
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,120
that, yeah, we've been critiqued
on a lot of things

297
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,000
that were out of our control.

298
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,600
When the judges have said,
like, "This is (BLEEP). This is..."

299
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,320
It'll jeopardise the sale
of our house.

300
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,480
We didn't have a choice.

301
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,840
Why - I wouldn't. If I was watching
The Block and I saw that,

302
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,840
like why in a million years
would you want to buy our house?

303
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:18,920
It won't jeopardise your sale.

304
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,960
Or even come to our house.
I wouldn't even come to our house.

305
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,280
They were really focusing

306
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,760
on the fact that they thought
that the sale of the house was...

307
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,800
Jeopardised.
..jeopardised

308
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,200
and I could see they were spiralling
into a big deep hole.

309
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,160
Yeah, they took it really hard.

310
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,440
It will not jeopardise your sale.
I feel... I feel like it will.

311
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:39,920
It won't. They - they'll...

312
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,160
Genuinely, I if I watched The Block
and I saw that, I'd be like,

313
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,560
"Why would I even go to that house?"

314
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,560
Oh, no. You're overthinking this.

315
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,960
How embarrassing. It's like
humiliating. We look like fools.

316
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,160
I have burnished concrete
at my house.

317
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,800
I love it.
GIAN: I like burnished concrete.

318
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,160
I wouldn't do anything different.
That's it. Like, back yourself.

319
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,440
There's nothing wrong with it
and then move on.

320
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,960
Four experts in different fields
are saying it's not nice.

321
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,440
Like, we need to be realistic here.
We didn't get one positive comment.

322
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,960
We didn't get one single positive
comment.

323
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,320
The comments were scathing.

324
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,200
They essentially,
in not so many words,

325
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,520
said we jeopardised the sale
of our house through those choices,

326
00:13:09,560 --> 00:13:11,120
the choices we didn't get to make.

327
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,040
But then you probably could've
decked on top if you really wanted.

328
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,640
No, that wasn't an option.

329
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:18,720
I think it's the lack of awareness
in the options that they had

330
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,760
because they could have put decking
on it and that's what they forgot.

331
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,080
PRODUCER: Can you do that?
Yeah, you can put decking on a slab.

332
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,400
Yeah. Why not?

333
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,440
That wasn't an option.
That was not an option.

334
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,040
We were like, "Is this the only
thing we can do?"

335
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,160
And it was made very clear,

336
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,760
it was the only thing
that we can do.

337
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,720
You've got to push back
and you've got to...

338
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,240
Yeah, try and go
for what you want to do.

339
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,320
(BLEEP)

340
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,720
You're going to do an incredible
front yard and prove them all wrong.

341
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:48,920
Yeah?

342
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,000
ELIZA: I don't like being like this

343
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,200
but it's like someone's put
a dagger in our hearts.

344
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,960
(SIGH)

345
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,400
I just really don't want to be here
anymore.

346
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,760
I just want to go home.

349
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,040
SCOTT: It's the final week
of The Block

350
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,440
and today is also a public holiday,

351
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,320
so things are a little quieter
than usual around here.

352
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,680
Today was a weird one.

353
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,520
The Block's either,
like, full pelt or ghost town,

354
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,400
and being a public holiday,
it was a bit of a ghost town.

355
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,880
SCOTT: But with auction day
around the corner,

356
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,280
getting the front facade and yard
looking top notch is crucial

357
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,760
because first impressions count.

358
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,440
BRETT: Look, frontage and facades

359
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,560
are a massive part to get right
on your home.

360
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,160
It's obviously the first thing
that you're going to see,

361
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,720
it's that street value.

362
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,880
It's that pulling up to be,
like, you know,

363
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,080
that lovely home space

364
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,200
where P I think it's a massive thing
to get right.

365
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,880
SCOTT: Back in the very first week,

366
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,280
our blockheads chose their houses
based on the facades.

367
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,080
This is house one.

368
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,400
Oh, wow!

369
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,040
(UPBEAT MUSIC)

370
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,080
Lovely.

371
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,520
SCOTT: This is house two.

372
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:49,880
(LAUGHS)

373
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,360
SCOTT: This is house three.

374
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:52,440
It's great.

375
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:53,560
It's really beautiful.

376
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,480
SCOTT: House four.

377
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:56,560
Oh, I like that one.
Wow!

378
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:57,760
Yeah, these are stunning.

379
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,600
SCOTT: And this is house five.

380
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:00,800
Nice.

381
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,080
So exciting!

382
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,000
SCOTT: Well, this week,
the front facades of the houses

383
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,640
will finally be brought to life.

384
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,040
Within architecture,
getting a facade wrong

385
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,280
is detrimental to the way
in which you feel

386
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,560
when you enter a space.
The streetscape is so important.

387
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:17,800
SCOTT: Weeks and weeks ago...

388
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:18,840
Hello!
Hey.

389
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,200
How are you?
Good.

390
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,040
..with the help of architect,
Julian Brenchley...

391
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,240
I've come to show you
a couple of the finishes

392
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,640
that we're starting to discuss.

393
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,400
..and the team from Colorbond,

394
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,200
our blockades were introduced

395
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,600
to the materials
that will clad their home.

396
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:33,920
The batons are vertical.

397
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,080
Yep.
Yep.

398
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,000
The Balmoral weatherboards
are horizontal.

399
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,240
OK.

400
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,160
OK, so you're kind of getting
a bit of a textual response,

401
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,720
rather than a matte look
across the whole facade.

402
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,040
SCOTT: House four's classic
Hamptons look

403
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,760
will be created
with James Hardie board and batten

404
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,520
and weatherboards with a Colorbond
roof in Matt Monument.

405
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,360
The way you feel is something
we always talk about,

406
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,280
so you have to evoke emotion
through materiality,

407
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,800
so it's everything
that you're doing on the inside

408
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,200
and then this whole other layer.

409
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,320
Super important.

410
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:07,800
SCOTT: And in front
of Steph and Gian's facade

411
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,280
is their front yard,

412
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,840
the biggest on the block this year.

413
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,240
The PGH stone-clad fence,
which matches the chimney,

414
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,360
will have three gates

415
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,320
with a series of pathways
leading to the front door.

416
00:17:20,360 --> 00:17:25,840
Being able to create
multiple entries into a space

417
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,160
creates a sense of warmth,
welcoming,

418
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,720
it's an open home,

419
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,280
so that's a very obvious
and architectural thought process

420
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,480
that I'm trying to convey
in this front yard.

421
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,840
But because we did backyard
last week,

422
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,520
a lot of the front yard
had been used as a storage pile

423
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,600
by Nine In Six to continue
a lot of the roofing and cladding,

424
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,920
so for us, Monday being
a public holiday,

425
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,600
the only thing we really wanted
to achieve

426
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,200
was having the front yard
as clean as we could get it.

427
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:58,880
Yeah, let's do it.

428
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,000
SCOTT: Down the road at house two,

429
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,960
Leah and Ash have got big plans

430
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,480
for their front garden and facade
this week.

431
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,640
We got first pick of the houses

432
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,400
and we wanted house two,

433
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,920
and we just P now, it's coming
to a point where it's all on us

434
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,560
to make it really look
like how we...

435
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,720
Yeah.

436
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,160
..what we fell in love with
from day one.

437
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,640
SCOTT: House two's angular garage
in basalt grey

438
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,680
will offset the soft timber curves
of the first floor.

439
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,400
And this will be the Colorbond roof
for the garage as well.

440
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,200
Oh!
Is it that finish? That matte?

441
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,240
Yeah, yeah, that matte finish.
That's so good. I love that.

442
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,080
Yeah, it's such a... It's got...
Basalt matte, yeah.

443
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:36,760
SCOTT: And in the front yard,

444
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,040
mimicking the curves
of their first story curved facade,

445
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,240
there will be curvy garden beds,

446
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,160
a curvy driveway with a turntable,

447
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,800
and a 3-D printed curvy front fence.

448
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,920
So, go hard.

449
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,120
We go hard every week,

450
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,560
but this week, we'll go as hard
as we possibly can,

451
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,680
leave nothing in the tank.

452
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:56,880
# Just bring your A-game...

453
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,360
I reckon we can knock out upstairs
and down.

454
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,720
You reckon?
If you come in, I need your help.

455
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:02,840
Let's do it.

456
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:03,880
Get the dustpan,

457
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,160
dust down all the stairs.
Yeah.

458
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,880
Yeah, we're feeling pretty good

459
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,000
about where we're going
and what design we have

460
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,920
and how we're going to pull it off,
and we've got a gnome, so...

461
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,640
SCOTT: For two weeks in a row,

462
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,240
Leah and Ash chose not to use
their gnome.

463
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,760
We've got a couple of gnomes
to play.

464
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,360
Leah and Ash.

465
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,920
I told you that I was saving it
and I'm a man of my word.

466
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,600
SCOTT: You're saving it
for the Mustang?

467
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:26,680
Save it till next week, buddy.

468
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,920
SCOTT: Weeks ago, I announced
the prize for the final week.

469
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,480
This awesome piece of machinery,
the Mustang Mach-E.

470
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,360
Last night was so close.

471
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,760
We could have thrown our gnome
at it, but...

472
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:41,880
Hmm.

473
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,800
(SIGHS) We may be kicking ourselves
we didn't get a bit of extra money,

474
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,160
but I thought, let's hold
the gnome for the car.

475
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,000
Yes.

476
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,760
Oof, yeah.

477
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:54,560
It'd be nice.

478
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,880
Swap the gnome for keys
to a Mustang.

479
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,120
Perfect.

480
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,680
SCOTT: But Ash and Leah's plan
to take home the Mustang

481
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,440
might be foiled by the only other
team in possession of a gnome,

482
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,480
Kyle and Leslie in house one.

483
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,360

during a Block Buck swap session...

484
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,800
LESLIE: Better swap some Camerich
'cause I know you were after some...

485
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,120
I would love some Camerich.

486
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,040
..Leslie gave Leah
her Camerich Block Bucks.

487
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,800
Yay!

488
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,840
SCOTT: But after Leah and Ash
questioned Kyle and Leslie

489
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,680
about their backyard budget
and threatened an audit,

490
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,400
Leslie took her Camerich
Block Bucks back.

491
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:34,920
MAN (ON PHONE):
What can I do you for?

492
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,920
I just wanted to revoke
my Block Bucks swap

493
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,800
I did the other day with house two.

494
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,120
MAN (ON PHONE): OK. Not a problem.

495
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:43,160
I do get to do that

496
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,960
because you don't get to treat me
like that

497
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,040
and then take the dollars
that I'm giving up to you.

498
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,320
SCOTT: But Leslie didn't tell
Leah...

499
00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:54,200
Unfortunately, we cannot deliver

500
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,360
all of those items for you
on Saturday.

501
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:02,280
My entire furniture on a Friday
afternoon - poof, gone.

502
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,600
..and Kyle and Leslie
are still bitter.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

504
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,440
When we were getting our morning
coffees with Tina,

505
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,480
we were talking about the gnome.

506
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,320
Why won't you be close?

507
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:24,960
KYLE: We don't have the money
to do anything.

508
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,800
We don't have the budget at all.

509
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,040
What am I going to do with a gnome?

510
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:39,880
Give them your gnome.

511
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:41,960
Have you asked?

512
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,240
Have you asked if that's a thing?

513
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,960
I sort of went,
"Oh, well, maybe we could..."

514
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,680
And then it was like,
"Can we sell it?"

515
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:49,680
This is great.

516
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,720
Oh, guys. (LAUGHS)

517
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,280
This is... This is gold right now.

518
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,840
OK? Absolute gold
that's happening at McCafe.

519
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,400
Well, one of the options is to sell
the gnome to house four.

520
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:04,000
I think Steph and Gian have won
the most amount of money ever

521
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,720
and so why not try and help them
win the car as well?

522
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,840
And then maybe somebody else
won't be able to win it.

(LAUGHTER)

524
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,840
Boys and girls, let me teach you
a lesson

525
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,680
in how to really (BLEEP) up
in the last week.

526
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:19,920
(LAUGHTER)

527
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,400
Hey, it's the last week.

(LAUGHTER)

529
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,160
And we apologise because
we've become these people, but...

530
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:30,320
I don't apologise for anything.

531
00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:33,280
OK, cool. (LAUGHS)

532
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,440
When did you...
No, I didn't think of that.

533
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:38,960
You know what? That is totally
happening.

534
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,120
I'm more like...

535
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,240
Be a dick and I'll be a dick back.

538
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,680
I do like it when people
push the boundaries,

539
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,000
so I'm always open
for something new.

540
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,040
Yeah.

SHELLEY: See how our all-stars,
Dan and Dani,

542
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,800
rate the blockheads' rooms

543
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,920
when they award
their weekly Champs and Chumps,

KYLE: I like that idea
of giving them our gnome for cash.

SCOTT: On the final week
of The Block,

547
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,200
house one's Kyle and Leslie
have just hatched a cunning plan

548
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,680
to sell their gnome
to Steph and Gian

549
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,120
in the hope it will make them
some much needed money

550
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,880
as well as shatter
Leah and Ash's chances

551
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,680
of winning this week's prize,

(GLASS BREAKING)

554
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,640
I was a bit peppy in my step,
actually.

555
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,560
I went down the street, ran into
my neighbours at house three.

556
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,400
Brett, you're going to love
this, OK?

557
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:47,840
Are you joking?
Can you listen?

558
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,560
But - no, listen.

559
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:53,800
We were just like...

560
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,520
I said, "Oh, my god. Imagine
if I could sell the gnome."

561
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:03,560
And they went... (GASPS)

562
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,200
For how much?
I don't know.

563
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,320
I'm just going to ask Papa

564
00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:08,240
how much money he's willing
to pay for it.

565
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,240
(KYLE LAUGHS)
BRETT: I love you.

566
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,200
And then I went to the source
of the money themselves

567
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,520
and said, "Hey, ever thought
about this?"

568
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,160
So, I don't know
the technicalities of this,

569
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,080
but say you had extra money
and you wanted to buy our gnome...

570
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,040
And if you didn't, then I'm going
to find the technicalities

571
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,120
of what happens if you pass
a gnome on.

572
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,280
OK.

573
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,680
We can explore that.

574
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:36,800
Can we?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,760
This morning, Leslie plants a seed

577
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:49,720
and she says, "Hey, obviously,
I'm a bit tight for cash this week."

578
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,520
"How would you feel about buying
our gnome off us?"

579
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:53,720
"Just some food for thought."

580
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,160
And we go, "Hmm..."

581
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,480
"That's interesting."

582
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,360
"Interesting proposition."

583
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,320
We'll see how that goes.

584
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:02,560
Because I just...
No.

585
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,280
You know, we just want to make sure
you've got the best chance...

586
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:06,920
Love that.
..at the front.

587
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:08,920
Love that.

588
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,000
But also, if you could
just check your budget. I mean...

589
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,480
Yeah.
..any sort of...

590
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:13,960
No, for sure. I get it.

591
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,960
So, it's definitely something
to consider

592
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,440
and definitely for the right price.

593
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,840
I mean, it will help you guys.

594
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,160
And it will help us

595
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,360
and also I don't need the gnome.
But that would be an amazing...

596
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:23,600
Yes, it would.

597
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,800
Could you imagine?

598
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,080
"Sorry, we're just going to play
our gnome."

599
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:29,000
They would lose their mind.

00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,680
That's a masterstroke from you, Les.

00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,560
But we've got to work it out,
but yeah.

the Cayman Islands right now..."

with Scotty

and opposed to, you know,
a Ford getaway,

he's actually invited
the whole Block family,

622
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,920

to have some tea with Scotty.

all this.

won't be coming

We really wanted the girls there
as well

because we know full good and well

that the other couples
don't really speak to each other,

642

so we're the ones that are going
to be carrying these conversations.

to house two,

is talking to is house four

to completely (BLEEP) them over
on Sunday.

It was at this point,

653

house two realised
they'd (BLEEP) up.

I know you're really busy

657

but I thought it'd be
a great opportunity

for us to get together
for maybe the last time

It was a bit awkward.

663
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,200
But also could be an opportunity
to rekindle some friendships

664
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,240
and leave The Block
on good terms as a group.

665
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,760
And we're just sitting there like,
"So... What's everyone doing?"

Oh, thanks, Scotty.
Can you pass it down, please?

670
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,160
Thank you very much. But for those P
has anybody here not got a ten?

671
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,480
Oh, me!

00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,360
Well, for those who haven't got
a ten,

676
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,920

up here and sort this out?

00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,080
Yep.

678
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,160
Can we just back up because I didn't
know it's a thing

00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,840
that you get the big bikkies tin
and your money's in it,

it gets delivered.

689
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,440
Scotty, can I speak to outside
for a second?

690
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:13,920
Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

691
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,440
Let me get my beer.

692
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,160
Oh, hello. What's happening?

693
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,760
What is happening?
What is happening?

694
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,000
Well, since they're gone...

00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,760
(LAUGHS)

696
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,160
Tell me.

697
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,400
So, we're thinking of potentially...

698
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,480

..Kyle and Leslie's gnome

700
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,360
to use this week.

701
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,120
That's never happened before!

702
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:39,960
I know.
And you've got the coin?

703
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,160
Yeah.

704
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,360
And this is not a ten grand week.
I know.

705
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,040
There's a car, right? So...

706
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,360
That we can take home, I guess.

707
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,200
That Mustang Mach-E, yeah,
is exactly what we are after.

708
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,080
You come up with a market price,

709
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,160
I'm giving you the tick
of approval to do this.

710
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,720
It's never been done before
and imagine having a secret gnome.

711
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,360
You're not to tell anyone, are you?

712
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:00,400
No.
No.

713
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,120
Well, Kyle and Leslie
have already told the girls

714
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,360
and Kristy and Brett.

715
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,520
We did not speak about it
with anyone else,

716
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,800
but Leslie and Kyle have spoken
to Kristy and Brett about it

717
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:11,960
and the girls.

718
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,480
PRODUCER: But you haven't told
Leah and Ash?

719
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,000
We haven't told Leah and Ash
about the gnome.

720
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:16,040
No.

721
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,920
SCOTT: But what about

722
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,240
when I go behind the board
next Sunday night

723
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,720
and I go, "Oh, now, Leah and Ash,
do you want to play your gnome?"

724
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,360
And go, "Oh, and Steph and Gian,
would you like to play yours?"

725
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,520
Oh, my god. I'm a bit frightened
about doing that.

726
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,080
I'm frightened.
I'm very nervous.

727
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,160
I'm worried about that as well.

to front garden and facade reveal

('PROUD MARY' BY TINA TURNER
CONTINUES PLAYING)

736
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,080
Big week, Keithy.

737
00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,440
Last week, mate.
Massive week.

738
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,280
You think about the contestants,

739
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,000
so they've got their front yards.

740
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,360
They've got to do defects,

741
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:06,640
they've got to do the garages,

742
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,080
they've got to do the hallways,

743
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,840
and then they've got to do
the staircases.

744
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:10,960
It's like a five area week.

745
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,360
Yep.
It's a big week.

746
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,760
Yep. Yeah, I'm glad it's them
and not us, mate.

747
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:15,840
Yeah, same.

748
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,200

749
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,480
All interior spaces and defects
that need to be completed.

750
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,120
That means rumpus rooms,
powder rooms,

751
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,000
stairwells, and garages.

752
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,520
It's a new day and a new attitude
for house five

753
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,640
who have shaken off
yesterday's post-judging meltdown

754
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,240
and are keen to rip
into front yard landscaping.

755
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,400
Monday was tricky because all
the feels were still there, so raw.

756
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,120
I locked myself in my room
and like -

757
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,840
at 4 PM, was comatose until five.

758
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,080
I woke up at 5 AM.

759
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,920
I think sleep was just, for me,

760
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,520
like, the only thing
that was going to reset us.

761
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,920
It's good to see your beautiful
smile back.

762
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,400
Yeah, we've got to...

00:31:58,160 --> 00:31:59,960
New day.

764
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000
We're not going to get
this time back.

765
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:06,160
We have to just keep going
and I really want this to still P

766
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,400
like, I want this
to still be a product of us,

767
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,560
which is never giving in,
so that's what I'm going to do

768
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,160
and I want the owners of this house
to be really happy

769
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,320
and that means still giving
every ounce of everything

770
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,160
to make this the best place it can.

771
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,520

for some art pieces.

779
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,760
Got quite a lot of spaces this week

780
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,600
where we need to have artwork,

781
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,600
so jumped on The Block Shop website

782
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,240
and picked heaps of pieces.

783
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,760
I reckon I picked about five or six.

784
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,640
Look how cool that is.
Yeah, that's amazing.

785
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,000
Oh, my god. It's got
a little echidna. A cute is that?

786
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,240
SCOTT: Next up,
Liberty is on Hipages

00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:57,600
in search of a cleaner.

an army.

Cleaning kitchen, living room,
outdoor area, windows,

791
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,200
oven, barbecue, carpets.

792
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,400
Jesus. Done.

SCOTT: With the house interior
on track,

794
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,920
attention turns to the exterior
of their front garden centrepiece,

795
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,320
a big tree.

796
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,240
One thing that we want wanted
for our front yard

797
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:21,640
was a mature, established tree,

798
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,400
which was going to be
a beautiful, like, centre feature

799
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,040
of the front yard.

800
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,400
Dom at The Plant Runner
has helped us out with this.

801
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,400
He is a legend
in the plant department.

802
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,320
We got a bit crucified
with our backyard this week.

803
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,480
Oh, really? Oh, no.

804
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,600
Hopefully, we can fix it up
for you on the front. (LAUGHS)

805
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,280
Well, exactly,
and so, they've told us

806
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:39,840
we need a bit of, like,
colour and...

807
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,400
Yeah, OK. Some autumn colours.
..height and things like that.

808
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,440
Have we got a bit of a landscape
design already?

809
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,160
A little bit. It's not...
That's alright.

810
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,480
We're still kind of going
through it.

811
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:48,960
Yeah, that's a good way to work,
I think.

812
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,800
SCOTT: I'll take it from here, Ryan.

813
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,160
House five's front door

814
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,360
is actually located
down the left side of the house.

815
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,040
At the entrance, you'll step up
to a large deck

816
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,160
with seating and plants.

817
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,360
Out the front,
house five's first floor

818
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,760
will be clad
in Colorbond Blue Gum Grey

819
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,480
and contrast nicely

820
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,080
with the warmth of their timber
and brick ground floor,

821
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,640
all of which they chose
eight weeks ago.

822
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:12,880
Because I'm really excited

823
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,760
about this new blue gum colour.
That is stunning.

824
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,240
It is amazing in the matte finish.

825
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,120
Which ties in really nicely
with your existing bricks.

826
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,120
SCOTT: House five's landscape design

827
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,640
consists of an arbour
and seating area,

828
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,800
the lawn and border plants
will provide the greenery,

829
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:32,320
and hopefully, a mature tree
will be their star feature.

830
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,200
So, how about I give you
some options?

831
00:34:34,240 --> 00:34:36,240
'Cause you want to make an impact.
Yeah, yeah, totally.

832
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,200
If you're going to spend the money,
you want to get a...

833
00:34:38,240 --> 00:34:40,480
You may as well do it well. Yeah.
There's a Ford Mustang on the line.

834
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,520
Is there? Oh, cool. Well, this might
get you over the line.

835
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,000
If we win this, we win
a Ford Mustang.

836
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,720
You'll take me for a drive?
Yeah, absolutely.

837
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,720
(LAUGHS) Yeah, cool.
OK, let's make it happen.

838
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,440
So, we were looking
at different options.

839
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,160
We talked birch trees
and all sorts of things,

840
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,440
but we landed on a beautiful
cherry tree.

841
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,080
It's going to be so beautiful.

842
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:56,880
It's going to have
these white blooms.

843
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,600
Our magnolias are going to flower

844
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,240
and the front yard's just going
to be glorious, so I'm so excited.

845
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,760
SCOTT: So, it's high spirits
for house five,

846
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,080
but the same can't be said
for house one.

847
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,080
After going over the figures
last night,

848
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,400
despite the pending sale
of their gnome,

849
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,440
Kyle and Leslie's
financial situation is dire.

850
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,840
The plan this week,
like off the back of last week

851
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,040
and really, sort of, I guess,

852
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,240
putting all of the dollars
out the back, was very simple,

853
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:23,800
but I've done the numbers.

854
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,320
We don't have enough money.

855
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,000
SCOTT: Last week, Kyle and Leslie
gambled

856
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,480
and threw everything they had
into their backyard.

857
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,560
KYLE: We put, like, a heap
of our remaining budget

858
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,080
into the backyard in the hopes
to get close enough to use the gnome

859
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,600
and then obviously, we'd have
more cash for the front.

860
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,480
It wasn't a gamble that paid off
in the end.

861
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,200
SCOTT: Having spent $41,000
on their backyard,

862
00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:48,800
they only have five grand
to spend on the front,

863
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,200
which was gifted to all the teams
from Weber last week.

864
00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:54,240
You've got $5,000!
Hey!

865
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,440
Hey, you beauty!

866
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:56,720
SHELLEY: And breathe.

867
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,040
$5,000 for your front yard.
Lovely.

868
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:03,240
Kyle and Leslie's last hope
is selling the gnome to house four

869
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,200
for what they hope will be $10,000,

870
00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:08,720
potentially tripling their budget,

871
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,760
allowing them to get
their landscaping off the ground.

872
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,600
Their plan for the front yard
was always quite simple.

873
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,440
A lawn area surrounded
by established plants,

874
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:19,840
an arbour at the front door

875
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,040
that steps down
to their turntable driveway.

876
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,000
House one's barn-like exterior

877
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,720
will be clad in Dover White
Standing Seam

878
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,280
with a Colorbond roof in Monument.

879
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,240
Dover White's one of their newest
colours on the market.

880
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,600
Extraordinary...
I love it, yeah.

881
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:36,680
..in that it's flat

882
00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:38,440
and has a whole dynamic range
during the day.

883
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,000
As the sun goes over,
it creates shadows,

884
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,720
different colours
of the white itself.

885
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,520
SCOTT: Luckily for them,

886
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,240
all houses have received

887
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,160
the cladding and roofing
free of charge,

888
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,920
which is a relief for Leslie
who was counting every dollar.

889
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,760
I guess we P yeah, just working out
with Troy moneywise

890
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:57,880
what he's going to need.

891
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:02,000
It's literally probably labour,

892
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,560
$2,000 worth of plants,

893
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,520
and the deck...

894
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,680
..which is probably 12 grand.

895
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:15,640
Maybe ten.

896
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,200
Troy's sitting at,
you know, ten to twelve.

897
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:24,760
Ten's probably stretching it
to sort of get the front done.

898
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,320
But we don't even have that.

899
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:30,920
We're short about five to seven K,
to, like, finish the house.

900
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,720
It's actually a horrible feeling.

901
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,640
I actually didn't know
what we were going to do.

902
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,360
I don't know who can work this week.

903
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,800
Because I don't know what P
we don't have anything.

904
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,080
Like, I need a P yeah.

905
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,000
Out of the 12, most of it's
for the deck.

906
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,280
The deck, yeah.

907
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,720
The rest is P this is all easy.

908
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,440
Easy. Like, if I had a clean run
at this, I would do this in a day.

909
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,080
Yeah.

910
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,280
But we don't have a clean run.

911
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,920
I will leave so you're not having
to pay for anyone here.

912
00:37:59,960 --> 00:38:01,320
I'll get out of here,

913
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,080
but because it's Tuesday,

914
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,920
I've got to put the order in
for the plants

915
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,400
by close of business,
realistically, today,

916
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:09,680
so I can get them here Thursday.

917
00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:11,200
Yeah.
Yeah.

918
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,400
OK.

919
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,640
Look, I'll leave you be.

920
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:20,720
Call me later.

921
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,080
So, yeah, Troy and the boys
have decided to go home

922
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:26,400
and it's not a great feeling,

923
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,760
but I think it's just compounded
from, like, the whole 12 weeks

924
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,040
where you just sort of go like P

925
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,120
yeah, you just want to have a crack,

926
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,240
but, you know, you haven't
won anything since week one

927
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,920
and you've won like a BOB
and all that sort of stuff,

928
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:42,000
but again, that money, I put aside
for landscaping and that's gone now,

929
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:43,560
so yeah, I don't feel great.

930
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,520
Like, I'm feeling pretty...

931
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:47,600
Yeah.

932
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,480
(EXHALES)

933
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,200
Yeah.

934
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,320
(SEAGULL SQUAWKS)

935
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:06,920
(THUNDER)

936
00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:12,040
# Wish we could turn back time...

937
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,440
SCOTT: With just days remaining

938
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,040
to complete the insides
and the outsides of the houses,

939
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,880
final week panic has certainly
set in on The Block.

940
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,080
# We're stressed out...

941
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,360
It's crazy to think there's, what,
like five days left

942
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:28,280
of, like, full throttle of action,
and then that's it.

943
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:31,840
It's scary.

944
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,120
# Alright...

945
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,800
SCOTT: And foreman, Dan,
is in the thick of the chaos.

946
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,040
# Da, da, da, da,
da, da, da, da...

947
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,000
Finally, the scaffold's coming down
between houses four and five.

948
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,200
Now, the girls have been complaining
for weeks about this,

949
00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:44,840
but today is the day,

950
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,880
so now, we can start cladding
the rest of their house

951
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,280
so they'll have plenty of time

952
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,040
to keep painting that Thursday,
Friday hopefully.

953
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:56,120
SCOTT: There's plenty of energy
and noise across the block today

954
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,680
as the landscapers get to work

955
00:39:57,720 --> 00:39:59,440
bringing these piles of dirt
to life.

956
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:03,520
# Welcome to the jungle,
we've got fun and games

957
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,760
# We've got everything you want,
honey, we know the names...

958
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,400
SCOTT: But not at house one.

959
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,760
Their landscaper, Troy, and his crew

960
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,440
are in the process of packing up
and heading off.

961
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,040
Until Steph and Gian

962
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,320
work out how much they'll pay
Kyle and Leslie for the gnome.

963
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:19,480
(BLEEP)

964
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,800
SCOTT: House three
also have no landscaper

965
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,800
after letting last week's
landscaper go

966
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,720
and deciding to go it alone
with their build team.

967
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,840
We did decide to part ways
with our landscaper.

968
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,320
It just didn't gel,
there was early concerns

969
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,080
and they just continued
throughout the week.

970
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,040
SCOTT: During backyard week,

971
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,920
Kristy and Brett had multiple issues
with their landscaper.

972
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:47,240
Lack of plants, super slow paving,
and then this arrived.

973
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:48,880
What the (BLEEP) is it?

974
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,280
Looks like a big pile of (BLEEP).

975
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,520
Oh, I don't want
to have to yell at people.

976
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:58,720
So, going forward,

977
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,640
we will be looking to do
most of the landscaping ourselves

978
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:02,960
with our building team.

979
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,920
SCOTT: But Kristy has now realised
they actually need a landscaper.

980
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,320
Just not really backing myself
when it comes to landscaping.

981
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,480
I don't know anything
about landscaping.

982
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:12,600
I don't know what looks good.

983
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,960
It's just beyond me,
the whole outside areas.

984
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:20,760
Hey, how are you?
Good. You?

985
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,520
I'm panicking.

986
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,000
So, your boys are doing
your front or you've got people?

987
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,400
I'm just like hitting people up

988
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,520
and now, they don't have
third-party. I'm like P

989
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,040
because they're like their own P
do they need WorkCover?

990
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:33,400
I don't know.

991
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,600
And it's like doing this
on a Tuesday for a Saturday reveal.

992
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,040
It's my own fault
and I've only got myself to blame,

993
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:41,920
but like in the same breath,
it doesn't...

994
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,120
Oh, look, I would say Troysie
probably would be happy to help.

995
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:46,320
Really?

996
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:50,760
Maybe just today and maybe tomorrow
to see what you can get done.

997
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,440
Alright, do you mind
if I go talk to him?

998
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:53,800
Oh, my god. No. Please.
I just want to...

999
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,520
I'm going to go find a hole
to crawl in.

1000
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,360
I think it just shows how nice
a people Kyle and Leslie are

1001
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,160
that they've seen that we're
in a scramble

1002
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:06,400
and it is a big competitive week
and they were happy to let him help.

1003
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,120
SCOTT: So, with the all-clear
from Kyle and Leslie,

1004
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,160
landscaper, Troy, heads over
to house three,

1005
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,920
and it doesn't take him long
to come up with some ideas.

1006
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,200
Your guys with the deck

1007
00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:19,360
could maybe be a little bit
more creative

1008
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,440
and we come out a little bit more...
Yeah.

1009
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,200
..so you get that indoor-outdoor,
so you do get that dual zone...

1010
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:25,840
Sure.
..and then you could grass all this,

1011
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:26,960
treeline it all up.

1012
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,520
I would probably steer clear
of the paving.

1013
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,320
OK.
Then Tuesday, get a concreter

1014
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,240
to do some featured concrete,

1015
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,240
like, exposed aggregate
like your driveway

1016
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,480
because that's one person,
one job, one day.

1017
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:42,680
Yeah, right.

1018
00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:44,760
SCOTT: Starting
with their existing plan,

1019
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,960
Troy has suggested they extend
the deck out

1020
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:51,320
to create an outdoor living space
and ditch their idea for paving

1021
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,400
and go instead for a fancy
concrete pathway.

1022
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,320
That will look good and save time.

1023
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,760
This garden will complement
their beautiful dark timber facade

1024
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,240
designed by Block architect,
Julian Brenchley.

1025
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:08,640
The roofs that join this
from the lower levels

1026
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,760
will be in this Colorbond
Matt Monument.

1027
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:11,880
Lovely.
Great.

1028
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,200
Alright, so you're going to have
this really mad facade

1029
00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:15,360
going out there.
For sure.

1030
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,040
So, the cladding that we've got
up against the Colorbond

1031
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:20,320
that the architect wanted,

1032
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,640
along with having Troy
involved this week,

1033
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,440
someone's going to love this home.

1034
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,360
All I really need

1035
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,280
is, like, someone to, like, help us
with the plants and soft gardens.

1036
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,160
Yeah.
I can order all your plants for you.

1037
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,840
Troy's going to help us out
and assist,

1038
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,720
so he's coming to save the day.

1039
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,880
He's already came in
with like a lot of help

1040
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,200
about what to do here, save time,
save money,

1041
00:43:43,240 --> 00:43:44,560
all of those sorts of things,

1042
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,920
so we feel so much better

1043
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,320
that we've got something
in place now.

1044
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:53,080
SCOTT: Next door in house two,
Ash and Leah's landscape team

1045
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,520
are already cooking with gas.

1046
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,880
So, is not their front yard
that's weighing on Leah's mind.

1047
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,240
The recent breakdown
of her relationship with Leslie.

1048
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,000
The Leslie thing
doesn't feel right to me.

1049
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:08,840
It didn't feel right last week.

1050
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,440
That's why it knocked me about
so hard.

1051
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:12,480
It came out of nowhere.

1052
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,800
I don't think us questioning

1053
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,200
whether or not something's being
done fairly,

1054
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:24,800
like, was enough to retaliate
in a really brutal way.

1055
00:44:25,720 --> 00:44:28,520
I really do want to talk to her
about it...

1056
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:29,640
How are you?

1057
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,240
..and sort of get a bit
of an understanding

1058
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:32,920
of why that all went down.

1059
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,800
But Leslie, I really...

1060
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,240
Oh, there's no car.

1061
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,760
Are we right to have
a little quick pow-wow?

1062
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,000
Yeah.

1063
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,520
I feel like last week,
I tried my best

1064
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:47,200
to come at that
in not a personal way at all.

1065
00:44:47,240 --> 00:44:49,920
It was just based on the info
that we had,

1066
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,560
I was like racking it up, going,

1067
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:53,680
"I don't think this is fair."

1068
00:44:53,720 --> 00:44:56,760
Then I just thought
Troy might've just been,

1069
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,720
like, yeah, throwing a bit
of his own money at it.

1070
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:02,360
I was quite open to the chat

1071
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,680
until Leah decided she wanted
to reminisce about the week and why,

1072
00:45:05,720 --> 00:45:08,800
and I went, "I don't want
to talk about last week."

1073
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,640
I cannot make this more explicitly.

1074
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,280
I don't want to talk
about last week.

1075
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,640
To be honest, I don't P look,
that was the most horrendous week

1076
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,640
and it's probably going
into another horrendous week

1077
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,520
and I don't want to go over
and back and forth.

1078
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,160
But in P from our point of view,

1079
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:23,720
you said a number,
you said 40 grand.

1080
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,280
I don't know if the quote
is reasonable.

1081
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,440
I just couldn't fathom...

1082
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:30,960
She started going through
the thing again.

1083
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,440
"Oh, it's just 'cause you had
said this"

1084
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:33,960
"and then we started
tallying materials."

1085
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:35,360
It just went on and on and on.

1086
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,760
We came and just said, "Do you mind
if we ask Troy some questions?"

1087
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:38,960
Well, that's not how it went.

1088
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,160
Like, we didn't have
a back-and-forth conversation

1089
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,000
because I do think
that you just talk over people

1090
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,200
when you don't necessarily like
the answers.

1091
00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:47,840
Oh, I disagree with that.

1092
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,960
On Friday afternoon,
the bomb hits me

1093
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,440
because you've taken away
my Camerich

1094
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,880
and I was very personally hurt
from that one

1095
00:45:58,920 --> 00:45:59,920
'cause I thought...

1096
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,640
..taking away my whole furniture
order, that was...

1097
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,400
That's a bit different if I knew
that you'd placed an order.

1098
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:08,480
My thing was just, like,

1099
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:12,040
"I just don't want anything
to do with any of this, with them."

1100
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,320
"I just - I'll take my thing back."

1101
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:15,600
"Leah can have her Freedom"

1102
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,480
"and I just want
to just be left alone."

1103
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:25,440
Like, that took me
to a really dark place,

1104
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,360
like, with the whole
Camerich thing.

1105
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,680
I think she wanted an apology
from me as well.

1106
00:46:29,720 --> 00:46:31,720
I didn't feel the need
to apologise and I didn't.

1107
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,520
PRODUCER: But you're not sorry?

1108
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:34,760
No, I'm not sorry.

1109
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,160
No, I'm not sorry for the way
that I felt,

1110
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:38,600
I'm not sorry for the way
the week went.

1111
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,400
Like, look what they've done to us.
Like...

1112
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:42,880
It killed me on Friday.

1113
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:44,080
It killed me,

1114
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,400
and what disappointed me the most

1115
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,480
was I didn't hear it from you

1116
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,760
and my delivery was just cancelled.

1117
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,400
Poof, gone, and it hurt.

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)

1119
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:05,400
I apologised many, many times,
and there was nothing from her.

1120
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:06,880
Blank.

1121
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:09,360
I couldn't believe it.

1122
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,280
Yeah.
I don't want it P to be honest,

1123
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,400
I just left that in last week

1124
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,200
and so, I'm happy to,
if that's what the intention is

1125
00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:18,360
is that we just...
Yeah.

1126
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,000
..are amicable and everything
in a group setting,

1127
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,160
then I'm absolutely, like,
that's - I'm happy.

1128
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,800
Yeah, I just wanted
to catch you this morning

1129
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:27,080
to yeah, apologise,

1130
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:31,080
and yeah, I just wanted
to definitely say sorry...

1131
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:32,880
Thank you.
..and, um...

1132
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:36,720
Yeah.

1133
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,560
Are you happy to leave that
like that?

1134
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:42,960
Alright, OK.
Alright.

1135
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:44,640
See you, Leslie.
Thank you.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

1137
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:54,960
There was absolutely no apology
from her whatsoever.

1138
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,640
Yet she wants to go ahead
and be amicable.

1139
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,360
Right.

1140

I'm not just going to sweep
anything like that under the rug.

1141
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,600
So, her little plan
of being amicable,

1142
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:07,960
it's not going to work for me.

on The Block 2023 is nearly over,

but before close of business...

1151

Just because we're obviously
going into the last week,

just hoping you can send through

1153

All done, mate.

Awesome. Thank you.
No worries.

budget for the front yard

to $35,000.

1164

to their front yard.

1166

Leah and Ash plan to spend 20,000.

1167

Kristy and Brett have 15 grand,

1168
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:13,600
and the team with, by far, the least
amount of money to finish this week

1169
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:17,040
is Kyle and Leslie
with just five grand,

1170
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,560
and after a failed attempt
by Leah

1171
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,280
to patch things up with house one,

1172
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,320
Kyle and Leslie are making their way
to house four

1173
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,240
to hopefully sell their gnome
to Steph and Gian.

PRODUCER: Your motivation
for selling the gnome

1178
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:36,960
to Steph and Gian.
What's the motivation?

1179
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:42,680
Look, I can't do anything with it,
you can do something with it.

1180
00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:45,400
Kind of thing and obviously,
we needed the money.

1181
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,320
I think, for me, it was more like

1182
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:51,680
I don't want Steph and Gian
to lose the car

1183
00:49:51,720 --> 00:49:54,080
based on Leah and Ash
winning it with the gnome,

1184
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:58,480
and then we'd run the sums
and it just became about the money.

SCOTT: And those aware
of the impending gnome sale

1186

are weighing in
on what it might be worth.

1187
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:05,360
I think a gnome...
So...

1188
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,440
A gnome's minimum
should be ten grand.

1189
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,560
We wouldn't sell it
for less than ten.

I was going to say $15,000.

1191
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:13,320
They have the money.

1192
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,880
I have said this and Kristy
has said this, week in, week out,

1193
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:18,240
Steph is a great game player.

1194
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,240
She knows what she's doing.
A great game player.

1195
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,320
She pleaded poverty when she has
180 grand of prize money.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

1199
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,320
STEPH: Um, OK. How much do you want?

1200
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,720
GIAN: How much do you want
and then what can we give you?

1201
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,600
Yeah, look...

1202
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,680
For us, it's kind of like
how much do we give

1203
00:50:41,720 --> 00:50:43,640
to then potentially be
in the running

1204
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:45,000
to use the gnome...
Correct.

1205
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:46,880
..but what if it doesn't even get
us close to it?

1206
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:48,280
That's what I'm finding hard.

1207
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,120
PRODUCER: How much did you want
for the gnome?

1208
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:51,960
I wanted ten grand for the gnome.

1209
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:53,600
We wanted ten grand for the gnome.

1210
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,120
We would love to give you...
We can't P I'd love to give ten.

1211
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:58,840
..ten.
I know, I know.

1212
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,000
We would love to give you ten.
But genuinely, the thing with us

1213
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,440
is we were either going to go
in with, like, two features

1214
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,600
that are going to be, like,
hero pieces for our front yard

1215
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,040
and we're either going to do
one and this

1216
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,920
or none like if we use ten.

1217
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:15,960
So, you still want something
in your front yard that's...

1218
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,680
It's a feature piece.
That is - that the judges

1219
00:51:17,720 --> 00:51:19,440
are going to walk in
and be like, "Oh, OK."

1220
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,880
"This is worth winning."

1221
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:23,320
Because otherwise...
Otherwise...

1222
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:24,920
Otherwise, it becomes redundant.

1223
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:26,360
Like, we're going to pay
for a gnome

1224
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,200
that we're not going to even be
in the running to use

1225
00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:30,120
if we don't end up spending
the money to do.

1226
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:31,320
Yeah, that's very true,

1227
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:32,960
but at the moment,
it's a two horse race.

1228
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:34,600
Let's be honest.
No, no, definitely.

1229
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,240
Only if we got the money
that we've got, right?

1230
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,240
And that's it. So, for us,
it's kind of like this weird...

1231
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:39,280
That's why it's hard.

1232
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:41,160
The only thing with this is

1233
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,160
Ash and Leah have been holding
this gnome for the Mustang.

1234
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,000
They want the Mustang over anything.

1235
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:49,320
I think they have been planning
their front yard from the start

1236
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,080
because Ash has wanted this car
forever.

1237
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,520
That's why I just know
that they are very well planned.

1238
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,280
And they've really jeopardised
some wins,

1239
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,840
really, to get this Mustang,
which kind of goes against

1240
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:01,960
what Steph and I believe
should be done.

1241
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,080
Totally. Because you're not thinking
about your end buyer.

1242
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,120
You're thinking about yourself.
But at the end of the day,

1243
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:09,920
we thought let's buy this to give us
a crack at winning something.

1244
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,080
So, what did you come up with?

1245
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,440
We can give you five.

1246
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,200
PRODUCER: How much
were they offering?

1247
00:52:19,240 --> 00:52:20,240
Five.
Five.

1248
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,440
PRODUCER: That's a steal.
Yeah.

1249
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:23,680
Absolutely.

1250
00:52:23,720 --> 00:52:25,480
We are not willing to spend
any more

1251
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:29,560
on something that is, you know,
for us,

1252
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:33,000
because we don't want to jeopardise
the sale of the home.

1253
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,280
Yeah, we don't want to take away
any of the key elements

1254
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,120
of our front yard to fit
in the gnome.

1255
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:40,920
If that works, it works.
If it doesn't, I get it.

1256
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:42,080
I get it.
No, I...

1257
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,200
We said, "Could you crunch
the numbers again..."

1258
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:50,400
"..on your little calculator?"

1259
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,840
We said that we P eight was
probably ideally

1260
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,000
where, you know, bottom line for us.

1261
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,080
Can we give the other stuff
above the five?

1262
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,160
So, yeah, if it's five

1263
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,440
and 2,000 of Freedom
or 1,000 something else.

1264
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,280
Whatever. Like, I can help you
get to where you need to get to.

1265
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:10,680
Are you happy?

1266
00:53:10,720 --> 00:53:12,000
Are we going to shake on it?

1267
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:14,120
To do it?
Yeah.

1268
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:15,640
I'd rather give a hug,
but it's fine.

1269
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:16,960
So, we've sold it.

1270
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,360
Did we get what we wanted for it?
No.

1271
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,000
Did we sell it at market price?

1272
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:22,200
No.

1273
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,520
But look, were we in a position
to...

1274
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,360
Negotiate.
..negotiate? No.

1275
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:28,400
Not really.

1276
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:32,440
But, like, Kyle did say, we have
to have the first drive in the car.

1277
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,080
You guys can have the car for a bit.

We've just got to stay out of it.

1289
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:00,840
It's not really any of our business.

1290
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:02,400
We broke up with them.

1291
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:03,560
It is not our place to tell them.

1292
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,800

holding that information back.
