SCOTT CAM: Previously, I decided
that the teams would be tackling their master ensuites.
Another bathroom. Second wet area for the competition.
Genuinely excited about it.
KRISTIAN: Alright.
We've gotta figure out what the... we're doing with this bathroom.
But it wasn't so wonderful for Jesse and Paige.
PAIGE: Fine. JESSE: Floor to ceiling.
Lock it in. Do it.
I don't like it, but do it.
Now we have floor-to-ceiling tiles!
Kristian and Mimi had trade issues.
Your new tilers don't have workers comp.
Oh, great.
And the boys...
INTERVIEWER: What could go wrong? Oh, nothing.
Nothing.
No, absolutely nothing could go wrong.
Well, everything went wrong.
From Dubai?
We don't have a tiler, we don't have a waterproofer.
This is not a problem with the curving principle. Yeah.
There's a problem with the curving execution.
DAN: It's not even sticking to the poly.
I'm going home to see the girls.
Tonight, the race is on to finish their master ensuites...
If you want a day to go perfect on the block,
today is that day.
BRAD: Oh... (BLEEP).
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
COURTNEY: Chill. Chill. GRANT: All the (BLEEP) time.
Huh? All...
Just call them. They can replace it. (CLATTERING)
Bit further behind than what we want to be.
Could just get there. It would be a miracle. But...
Yeah. A big miracle. Big miracle. (LAUGHS)
Big miracle.
Ricky is still chipping away.
Kylie and Brad's smooth run hits a hurdle.
Come here. No, it sucks.
Babe...
And Kristian tries his best to wrangle Mimi.
KRISTIAN: Mimi! We've got a house to do!
MIMI: Yes! I'm doing it!
SCOTT: (WHISTLES) Tools down!
There's a lot of praise from the judges...
DARREN: Wow! I love this so much!
SHAYNNA: Oh, I'm so proud of them.
..but also disappointment.
I mean... Oh, my god!
..there I am.
It's a real letdown for such an important room
for the sale of the house.
And we see the very first ten of the series.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) PAIGE: What?
(PENGUINS BRAY)
It's Saturday on the block
and our teams are 26 hours away from revealing their master ensuites.
Whoo!
PAIGE: I think we're having a really good morning
because we're having a full-on breakfast.
Four of the houses are looking like they're in trouble
but there's one team that's on track.
Here you go, honey. Thank you.
JESSE: Plan for today is finish tiling, fit-off,
fitting the vanity and vanity top in,
getting the door on and shower screen selection.
Today is gonna be a really good day.
Over at house three, the spirits aren't quite as high.
I feel like I've lost my dog, you know.
It's like that sort of feeling.
Everyone's striving to finish their bathroom and I can't,
so, yeah, I don't know if I've been able to swallow that bitter pill,
which is the shutdown of my ensuite.
DAN: It's not even sticking to the poly.
We've hit worst-case scenario. What's that?
MAN: That primer is not suitable for that flooring
that's going on the product.
So we have to rip it all up. OK.
What a nightmare.
The waterproofing tore up the inside shower wall a little bit.
It's not possible to have this finished
in any capacity that's gonna win the room.
DAN: You're not gonna finish this week. You're out of the running.
SCOTT: And after the boys' site was shut down yesterday,
all their master ensuite features have disappeared.
It's still pretty shattering, even just trying to sand it this morning
and last night.
Yeah, just knowing deep down
that we're not gonna be able to finish it,
it sucks.
Down in house four, Kylie is already busy tidying up.
KYLIE: It's like a hoarder's house over here.
INTERVIEWER: How are you this morning, Kylie?
I am well rested.
I'm not stressed.
I'm just trying to organise chaos.
Are you feeling like you could win this week?
I'm feeling like I could finish. (LAUGHS)
Not necessarily win.
The judges aren't into my styling,
so I'm kind of just gonna cop that, I think.
SCOTT: Despite coming under heavy criticism from the judges
for their previous rooms...
This is probably one of the best things in here.
I feel like this room doesn't belong here.
..Kylie and Brad are still sticking with their signature black style
but are paring it back with a timber vanity and white marble tiles.
We're going down our own path
because we're looking at the bigger picture.
We're in it to win it at the end.
Coming off the back of two consecutive wins...
It's Kristian and Mimi! (CHEERING)
It's Kristian and Mimi again.
..Kristian and Mimi have found themselves behind schedule
and are gonna need a miracle to have everything installed
by 'tools down' in 24 hours.
There is so much left to do.
We only have floor tiles down, so it's a big, big, big day.
KRISTIAN: There is a lot to do today.
All trades on.
All hands on deck.
All hands on. All trades on. Hands.
All hands on deck. All hands on deck...
This morning... ..by the trades.
Again. All hands on deck.
We've got our chippies measuring up the porter, plumbers coming in,
the sparkies coming in, Rod from air conditioning putting the duct in.
We've got our tilers - they want to try and get that shower wall done,
because there's a niche, there's a window.
There's steps. There's heaps.
We're gonna try and keep our plasterers on one side,
the tilers on the other side...
Alright. Got a lot going on.
Yeah, today is gonna be a big stretch.
We're trying to stay positive, trying to...
So, you've got plasterers doing ceilings...
Plasterers doing the ceiling.
We've got one tiler doing the right-hand side wall.
We've got one tiler doing the feature wall.
So we're just going to try and work it all in together and...
So, today, realistically, we've got plasterers, tilers, carpenters,
electricians, plumbers.
Yeah. All in a small room. (LAUGHS)
INTERVIEWER: Have you ever been in this position before on the block?
No, this is the first time.
We are a bit further behind than what we want to be but...
Yeah.
Keep the positive spirits up. That's it. Can't be negative.
Otherwise everyone else... You could get there.
Yeah. You could just get there.
It'll be a miracle, but...
Yeah, a big miracle. Big miracle. (LAUGHS)
Big miracle.
INTERVIEWER: How are we feeling today?
Excellent. We are feeling excellent today.
We're in such a good place today... Yes.
..for Saturday. It's exciting.
There's still a lot to do but...
Exciting when we see trades and they're...
They're just working. Getting (BLEEP) done.
They're just doing (BLEEP).
COURTNEY: Our marble arrived last night in the niche
and then we've got the slab sitting there...
Say you've got a wife with expensive taste without saying it, alright?
Venetian plaster, marble, 60mm stone...
You love it. Travertine...
That looked really good.
We're gonna go back to our house and spew.
(LAUGHS) We're gonna go, "Yuck."
Good day? # Today is a good day. #
Yeah. (IMITATES COURTNEY) Yeah.
(ANIMATEDLY) Yeah.
# I'm picking up good vibrations # Good vibrations
# She's giving me excitations # Excitations
# Good, good, good Good vibrations... #
But over at house four, the good vibes have come to a screeching halt.
BRAD: Oh, (BLEEP)!
Their shower screen door is too big.
Worst case, we'll just get a different door.
MAN: Can't you just wedge the door open and just stay, "Oh..."
No, 'cause if someone shuts it, it'll explode.
So, earlier in the week, took a measurement plaster to plaster
and took 20mm off it, not thinking about the tile glue.
When calculating the measurements for the shower screens,
you need to remember to account for the width of the tiles
but also the thickness of the tile glue that sits underneath.
2135 plaster to plaster.
Yeah, but they're not gonna look at...
They don't know how thick your tiles are.
No, well, I didn't either.
And I kept saying to Brad, make sure...
You've gotta remember, tiles going on each side, plus glue.
Yeah, which...
So, Brad took 20mm off, thinking, "Yeah..."
I should've taken 40mm off.
Yeah, you're not gonna be wrong, mate.
Glaziers aren't normally wrong. (LAUGHS)
INTERVIEWER: So, ultimately, who's responsible
for taking these measurements?
The owners.
It was, yeah, Bradley's mess-up but it's OK.
He's copped it on the chin, has he?
Yeah.
It was very frustrating.
Like, everyone's put in 100 and something percent and...
We were tracking TOO well.
You know how there's always something...
And they've all delivered the product
and there's that one thing that now is gonna bring everything down.
Yeah. So, that's (BLEEP).
Come here. No, it sucks.
Babe...
Don't worry.
So close. Don't worry!
He did get really down about the shower screen door.
Like, every time I was, like, "It's fine."
Normally I would blow up and be, like,
"How could you make that mistake?"
but under the pressure and knowing that it can't be changed,
I was, like, "Don't worry."
Who cares?
Don't worry about it.
I was 15mm too big.
I've never had that problem before. (LAUGHS)
SCOTT: Back at house two, they have the opposite problem.
Their shower screen opening is too small.
MAN: See this (BLEEP)?
MAN: Too narrow. Yeah, too narrow.
Tell me about it.
They're gonna come in here and say "Oh, it's narrow."
Yeah.
Basically, the supplier, Betsy's Glass,
who we got the glass from, they've given us the wrong size.
Yeah.
So the opening is too small.
They've (BLEEP) up the size.
MAN: Who ordered five?
GRANT: I just told them 1870 from wall to wall, bro,
and I said two fixed panels either side.
With a compliant opening. This isn't compliant.
You'd think a glazier would know...
SCOTT: But what Grant didn't do
was provide measurements for each piece of fixed glass
and the shower screen door separately.
The problem that's happened is
Grant's just given the overall dimension of the room,
sent it to Betsy's and just hoped for the best,
with no design or anything, so that's his fault.
Normally you would draw up what you want
with the opening sizes and the end panel sizes
and then you get it signed off.
He's missed that step, so this is on him now.
(CLATTERING)
GRANT: All the... COURTNEY: Chill. Chill.
All the (BLEEP) time. Huh? Just call them.
They can replace it.
Come on. (CLATTERING)
INTERVIEWER: So, ultimately, who's responsible
for taking these measurements?
The owners.
GRANT: Idiots, honestly.
DAN: To me, the side panels look bigger than that opening,
so it's not even three equal panels.
Grant and Courtney knew about it and they were trying to hide it.
Like, anyone can see it,
so I don't know why they just didn't come and tell us.
Always (BLEEP) something, honestly.
I sent him the email...
I sent him the email on (BLEEP) Monday.
But that's not your fault.
Like, I know, yes, it could be... It's just frustrating.
Did they send something to you to sign off on, though?
No. No.
So that's what you probably need.
You need to be signing off on things like that.
Mmm. Mmm.
I'm gonna have to change it before I pay them,
so we'll fix it after the fact, after the judging,
otherwise they don't get paid.
It's that half a point again.
Stop it, Dan. It's alright. Endgame, Dan.
Endgame. Endgame.
We're used to losing by half a point.
SCOTT: Yesterday,
the boys went five rounds with their ensuite before being KO'd.
But Ricky is determined to keep fighting.
It's good to see you're doing something.
Yeah, I've gotta do something to make me feel better, mate.
Yeah.
At least if I can try and get the ceiling looking nice.
Yeah.
Dan comes in and he had a solution for that waterproofing issue.
Look, mate, yesterday we all had a bit of a look at it all...
Yep.
..to see what we actually can and can't do to rectify it...
Yep.
AJ just said "Let's just rip it all out."
Probably the solution was a bit more hectic than what I was hoping,
tearing out the whole lot.
Fair enough.
Yeah, that's cool. Yeah.
Alright. Sweet.
All the plaster, all the waterproofing,
window, the whole lot.
Back to Truecore. Back to Truecore.
Back to where we were Tuesday.
You're taking a pretty well, to be honest.
I'm deflated. Are you?
I'm not gonna be able to compete to win ensuite week...
Mmm. ..which is...
I've wanted to win a bathroom and ensuite on The Block my whole life
and now I can't even compete, so it sucks.
It's like doing an injury
and not being able to play in the granny or something.
Yeah. Nothing to do with you, to be honest.
Like, it's... That is... That's hard to swallow, mate.
I'd say you would've smashed this demo.
You could start replastering it if you wanted.
Oh, really? Yeah.
Although we had to go full demo, I still had hope
we might be able to get potentially sheeted, stopped up
and ready for waterproofing.
(DING! DING!) (CHEERING)
I'd better apply for my demo permit.
I think so, mate.
('I'M SHIPPING UP TO BOSTON' BY THE DROPKICK MURPHYS PLAYS)
We're all good in the hood.
It just so happened
that the plasterer was finishing up soon at house two
and Ben, the legend chippy from house four, came over.
Mate, there's a chance we could have walls.
So I was pulling all the favour strings.
Yeah, let's sheet her up! Legend.
Beautiful. Good stuff, boys.
We were due for something to go right, you could say,
after 4,000 things went wrong for us in ensuite week.
Mate, I reckon it's the best attitude I've seen on someone.
(LAUGHS) Like, this... This is...
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
To be in this position and you're still having a laugh...
Yeah, mate. You've got to. It's laugh or cry, man.
Yeah. I'd much rather laugh.
It's better for telly. (LAUGHS) Yeah. True.
You know, call it pity. You know... I mean, it's not as if we have...
Nothing more attractive than a man in despair.
We're back on.
Fully stripped.
Just getting the plaster back on now.
DAN: Mate, looks better this time. (LAUGHS)
Plenty of comedians around here. (DAN LAUGHS)
Somehow I managed to get the room demo'd,
sheeted, stopped up
all the same day.
SCOTT: After a hearty breakfast,
Jesse and Paige are on track to knock off by lunchtime.
Whoo! We did it! I didn't think...
We're doing it.
I didn't think we'd be here on the Tuesday
when we were having issues with getting our Truecore in time
because of me messing up again, so...
If you want a day to go perfect on the block, today is that day.
All we have to do is hang the door...
Mm-hm. ..put a door roller on.
Plumbers will come in, shower screen and caulking.
Wow.
Do you want to know what the time is?
What's the time? 12:38pm.
Not 'am'. (LAUGHS)
KRISTIAN: Dan came in, Foreman Dan, he said, "I will eat my words."
I thought you were no chance this morning.
"And look at you guys now. You're probably gonna finish."
I'm impressed where you've gotten to right now.
Well, I can see the energy shift in this room.
It was pretty negative and down this morning
and now the spirits have risen.
Everyone's happy. They're smiling.
There's light at the end of the tunnel
and if they get over the line, which I think they will,
it could be three in a row for them.
Big comeback here.
(LAUGHS) (WHISTLES)
That's it. Very, very impressed.
They have nearly done all the tiling, the plastering is finished,
the electricals are just finishing off.
There's a little bit of plumbing.
Epic effort.
Thank you, Dan. Can't believe you got that done.
Oh, credit to all those boys in there.
You just never give up on The Block
'cause you just never know how much you can achieve in a day
and we've witnessed it right here in house five.

HAYDN: Hey, little girl.
Hey.
Told Ricky to jump in on board
and I had a special surprise he obviously knew was coming.
He just didn't know how and when.
SCOTT: After having to let their builder go this week...
Broken the trust twice, especially in a few days.
It's done.
So, mate, look, I want to say thanks for everything.
..the boys are off to pick up their new builder.
This could be the start of a new beginning.
And we rolled down to the airfield.
I haven't picked up a builder from a direct helicopter drop-off
for so long.
Never? I was gonna say...
I was gonna say, it would've been a while ago.
It seems to be our ideal mode of transportation.
Look, I know the place well...
Any time we need to go somewhere or get someone in,
we just call the chopper.
It's gonna land right there on that green patch.
Do you know what time he should be coming?
ETA 1500.
Can you GPS-track him? (LAUGHS)
You probably can with choppers. (LAUGHS)

Now, you might remember Duncan from season three

or as my personal builder a couple of years ago at Gisborne.
We got Duncan in.
And there he arose. Dunc, you know, launched out of the chopper.
I could almost hear the music.

Yeah, sorry about the mess.
DUNCAN: Good to see nothing changes.
Going straight to the block, are we? Yep.
Via the pub for one.
This is like the premiership quarter of the competition, you know.
The next three or four weeks are massive.
You know, if we can get a couple of wins here with these guys on deck,
this could change the competition.
And rather than making a long-term commitment,
these gentlemen have agreed to give this new relationship a test run
for a few weeks.
Poor Ricky really sounded like he needed a hand and Haydn
and I know what it's like to be in a place on The Block
where it's just not going well
and so I thought... "Look, it's three to four weeks," he said.
So, for three to four weeks, I think I'll come down
and experience being the builder for a contestant.
I've never done that before.
The only thing I didn't want to do is paint
and I don't have to paint, being the builder for a contestant.
Kylie has also left the block
and is picking up some towels for their ensuite.
This one's... Yeah.
..quite nice. More of a weave, I think.
Yeah. Definitely. Yeah.

No drink. Huh?
No drink. I'm having one!

We're 100% finishing now.
We're gonna need all hands on deck.

because obviously two weeks ago we didn't,
so that's the goal I had in mind and we've accomplished that,
so...I feel like a winner today already.
Week three bathroom, master ensuite. Yeah.
Easy. And it's beautiful.
Easy. It's serene, it's relaxing.
It's everything I want a bathroom to be.
HAYDN: But we've got walls.
RICKY: Pretty flat this morning.
Yeah, not even a...
Not even a coffee from McCafe can chirp us up this morning.
Last night was flattening, knowing that we had to push through
late into this morning,
with no ability to be able to finish.
SCOTT: But instead of drowning their sorrows,
last night the boys decided to take a more proactive approach.
They jumped back into their week one bathroom
to revisit some choices that the judges were less than impressed with.
The colour palette is mismatched.
The bluey-grey doesn't work with that green.
MARTY: I believe it should be white.
We've got different intensities, so it's too much.
We took on some of the feedback from the judges
and made some changes to the first bathroom that we'd done
and...show them that we really do care we're not just giving up
and we're gonna give it our all.
We're gonna use the time wisely... Yeah.
..and take the opportunity... 100%.
..to spend it doing something that was meaningful.
KYLIE: No pub last night.
But then we heard everyone else partying.
MAN: Oh, really? Yeah.
Yeah, painting.
Listening to everyone else laughing and carrying on,
wondering how they've got...
Time.
..how they've got any time to do it, but...
We didn't have time and we were the 'furtherest' ahead all week.
MIMI: So far away.
We're rushing to finish, whereas the other weeks, we were already done.
I don't think we'll get our caulking done.
But that's it.
That... That minor detail.
It's not minor. It kind of seals the whole room.

Yeah.
# Say it ain't so... #
MAN: Scotty! MAN: Hello.
WOMAN: Hello.
She's saying hello. Hello, hello.
G'day, g'day, g'day. How are you going?
CONTESTANTS: Good.
Ricky, Haydn - colour, mate. Look at you.
You look like you're auditioning for 'MAFS' in 1970.
(LAUGHTER)
Gotta be gee'd up from the feet up, Scotty.
(LAUGHTER)
Welcome and congratulations on mostly finishing another week on The Block.
Bathrooms can be brutal, can't they, Ricky and Haydn?
Mmm. Yes, sir.
Absolutely brutal. A lot of moving parts, a lot of details.
You've got all those measurements that you have to get exactly right
and a few of you fell into that trap this week, didn't you?
MEN: Yeah. Yes.
Maybe you all need to do another bathroom
so you can deliver the perfect one.
MEN: Yes, please.
Whoo.
Maybe I should give you a bathroom next week.
CONTESTANTS: No! Maybe not.
What I can do is give you some feedback from the judges.
# Oh!
# You're unbelievable
# You're unbelievable... #
House one, you're up, Jesse and Paige.
We had so much fun this week.
Everyone remained really positive and it was a good time.
We were struggling last week about what is the name of our style?
INTERVIEWER: So, what is it? Modern colonial.
No.
Let's just do that.
Well, then, fine.
Yep. Fine.
Floor to ceiling. Lock it in. (BLEEP) do it.
I don't like it, but do it. Alright.
Stop doing things and then changing!
How has this led to us being in this situation?
Because now we have floor-to-ceiling tiles!
I had to make the decision of sending my plasterers home.
What if we don't have enough time to do floor-to-ceiling?
For now, we just need to think about the short picture, which is...
I think that's kind of naive.
No, I don't think so. OK. That's OK. I just disagree.
So I think we're gonna make it.
DAN: Yes! First bathroom! Yes!
They're gonna make it. Whoo!
I like it!
We didn't not finish anything.
Phew. Phew.
(EXPECTANT MUSIC PLAYS)
SHAYNNA: Great size.
MARTY: For a master ensuite, this is an amazing size.
There are lots of common elements
with the first bathroom that we saw on week one that did not work.
But they work in here.
There are details in there that they've simplified in here.
This rail, much thinner.
There's no handle.
That tile, much simpler.
Simplifying those details
lets these traditional details really sing.
This is more sophisticated, fresh, it's elegant.
Oh, I'm so proud of them.
Pardon me. Can we just not glaze over the fact this is finished.
Oh, yes! We have finished room!
(JESSE LAUGHS)
DARREN: This is a much better layout than the first week.
If you look at the planning in here, the door is central still,
the space is about the same dimensions
but the toilet is tucked behind the hinge.
You walk into open space.
You have open space in front of the vanity, through here,
into the showers
and then you have all of that ample space for the double shower spaces,
so in terms of layout and planning, this is absolutely successful.
(PAIGE EXHALES)
He said today "I love this bathroom."
Really? Really.
(LAUGHTER)
There are a couple of things that I would like to point out
and for them to take away as well.
One, why do you do the switching and everything outside?
Mmm.
..is a major flaw,
'cause how many times have you jumped in the shower
and you forgot to turn the fan on, for instance?
Yeah.
You don't want to be reaching out, trying to turn it on and off.
Like, it is something that these contestants need to be aware of,
their electrical work.
We've seen it a couple of times now.
It's not up to standard for a multi-million-dollar property.
PAIGE: OK.
And also, I don't know how many times we have to tell people
that you've got to put a light over the basins.
You just have to, because we've got a little bit of natural light there,
we've only got wall sconce lighting here,
so you have to do this eye here and this eye over here.
DARREN: Yeah.
The size of the door could've been smaller and a slider.
In an ensuite, you don't have to have the widest door.
Like, you can have a 720. Even 780 would've fit.
Yeah.
This is, like, 820, 860 or something.
Yeah.. It's a big door.
"A smaller door could've made room for the switches on the wall inside."
I haven't always been a fan of these shower screens but it works here.
Mmm. MARTY: It does, doesn't it?
It works and I'm really excited to see that
because a lot of people use these in the wrong setting
and I think it really works here.
MARTY: With the master ensuite, this is a real money room.
This is where buyers judge a house, master ensuite, kitchen
and this here is ticking all the boxes for a buyer.
Double shower, double basin
and with the slight elevation in terms of its finish.
One thing I just want to address from today...
Like, we are in the main bedroom and this is the main bedroom ensuite
and we're so used to saying 'master ensuite'
but do you think that's the right term to use in these days?
My opinion is this.
There is undertones of colonialism and sexism and I personally...
I refer to it as a main bedroom.
If something doesn't make someone feel good and you can change it,
change it. Yeah.
Well, no-one's the master of me, baby...
(LAUGHS) ..so this is the main...
The main bedroom... ..the main bedroom ensuite.
They made an executive decision
and from now on they are all calling it the 'main ensuite'
to go with the main bedroom.
We've had this conversation in the last few weeks
and especially in week one,
I was very, very worried about their creative direction,
their aesthetic direction.
This, though, I feel like is the best of the bedroom from last week,
the best of what could have been in week one in that bathroom
and I feel like if this is a direction creatively
that they're comfortable with,
I can see it working if they do it well.
Darren thinks you got it exactly right this week
and called your room both chic and sophisticated.
He thinks if you continue this style throughout your house,
it's going to be a really big success.
It's daunting putting your style out there and being judged on it when...
Oh, it's just...crazy.
Especially when we've been so unsure of what our style is...
Yeah.
To get the confirmation,
the acknowledgement of what our style is,
it just...it feels really rewarding. Yeah.
(PENGUINS BRAY)
SHELLEY: It's time for you to decide which contestants you think
have created this week's winning room.
All you have to do is head to the Block website now to cast your vote.
And don't miss the results
a little later in the show.
('TIME TO PRETEND' BY MGMT)
SCOTT: OK. Courtney and Grant.
Hello. What?
Hello. (LAUGHS) She's just saying hello again.
She gets weird.
This week was... As planned.
We're trying to tie it into the other bath,
stick to that, like, 'Moderterranean' style.
Travertine chequerboard tiles on the floor and in the shower.
We've got a double shower.
Oh, and Venetian plaster.
We can't do a curve in this room,
only because it would enclose in the space a bit too much,
so instead we've incorporated that curve into a recessed mirror.
Is that removable? No.
Have we insulated behind it?
We're gonna have to cut a hole
and then somehow put that back in to visually see it.
We've got space...
I'm not going from chequerboard to finger tiles.
We're not gonna do now one wall... Well, why can't you?
Because it'll look stupid.
Nobody does that, darl.
Why do you have to be like everyone else?
This is your home. Trust me, it will work.
Considering how good the competition is in this series,
you know, getting a win would be really nice.
Yeah. You know it's well-deserved.
(BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYS)
Wow! I love this so much!
MARTY: This is insane!
Oh, I want to touch everything!
You know what, touch away. This is touch-worthy.
This is beautiful!
I'm, like, oooh, that texture and this nice sharp knife edge...
Yeah.
..against that micro-cement curve
and the details of the oak and the door handle.
It's so current -
a chequerboard pattern and micro-cement
and coloured stone and travertine.
It's, like, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
And the compliments kept coming for you, Courtney and Grant.
SHAYNNA: It's classic.
It's got a very muted palette
but you walk in and you go, "Oh!"
It's sexy and it's because of the texture,
it's because of the matte finish
and it's because this beautiful marble...
But something that I haven't seen anyone do before
and I highly commend them
is they've done two different tiles and they've patchworked them.
It looks phenomenal!
They come together and they tell the story.
DARREN: What I love so much about the palette,
it shows you the sand, the earth, the rocks, the trees...
Everything from Red Rocks Beach just down the road,
that's a snapshot of it.
That's Phillip Island right there.
Yeah. Bingo. Uh-huh.
"It is very Phillip Island appropriate."
What a great door. It's a slider!
And look how much room we've got! So much more spacious.
Look, these guys understand aesthetics and practicality
and they're combining both to deliver something
that is extremely marketable.
I don't think you're gonna find many buyers that will walk through here
and not just appreciate and gasp at the level of quality
that you feel standing in here.
I think you said the right word - people will gasp with excitement.
Shaynna said the niche is the hero
and she loved that you haven't used the tiles everywhere,
as the plasterwork warms up the room.
Shaynna did, however, have a couple of issues with the room.
Again, we've got switching on the outside
and I don't think this year
we're ever gonna see a horizontal towel rail.
Other than that, Shaynna thought this room was...
Perfection. Like, I'm looking at the execution.
I can't fault.
"Except, what is it with the shower screen opening?"
We also need openings big enough... I mean...
Oh, my god! ..there I am.
Bit narrow? GRANT: Yeah.
Manufacturer mis... miscalculations.
It's those measurements that we have to get so right
that I was talking about before.
We gave them 620, they gave us 520. So...
SHAYNNA: Well, you have been working out.
Dude, check it. Those delt raises. Yeah.
He's a massive man with his muscles everywhere.
COURTNEY: Yeah. He can hardly fit through.
Just go and look on his Instagram. You'll see.
(LAUGHTER)
We'll get it fixed. Yeah.
That is probably the only miss in this entire room.
But they have time to change that and I would highly suggest that.
And that would be the only thing that I'd be changing in here.
I've just finished researching booking a family vacation to Europe
in France, in London
and I can say that this could've been on any of those adverts.
This is something that you'll find in a six-star hotel
anywhere in the world.
Trust Marty to go to six-star.
(LAUGHTER) COURTNEY: I like his style.
I will be taking this palette in this room away with me
in my happy memories
for the rest of the day.
Actually, it's a really high point
and it's going to be a point of comparison for me today.
SHAYNNA: House three has to completely bring it.
I've got a real spring in my step
and I'm gonna be positive that the boys are bringing it, absolutely.
"House three is really gonna have to bring it this week to top this."
Uh-oh. (HALF-LAUGHS)
That's it. MAN: Well done.
GRANT: Thanks. WOMAN: Nice work, guys.
(APPLAUSE) Thanks.
We literally couldn't ask for better feedback.
We are so excited. So happy.
Relieved. Relieved.
(PENGUINS BRAY)
SCOTT: Welcome back to my new HQ on Phillip Island.
We've heard the judges sing their praises for houses one and two
and now it's time for the boys in house three to face the music.
OK. House three, Ricky and Haydn. How are you feeling, boys?
You've had a tough week, I know. Brutal week, in fact.
Brutal week. Yeah, mate.
Yep. Feeling pretty flat today.
RICKY: We had a dream bathroom in mind -
massive 2.8m-high ceilings and an enormous skylight.
We were really confident that we could win this week.
Yeah, we're due. We're definitely due.
So, hopefully ensuite's our week.
INTERVIEWER: What could go wrong? Nothing.
Absolutely nothing could go wrong.
Hey, mate. How are you?
From Dubai?
He's my waterproofer and my tiler. Yes.
# Tommy gun... #
Miller dropped his tools and was, like, "I've gotta go."
He said that he had something personal
that he had to take care of.
Yeah, I have to go.
See you.
Miller took off early to go to a music event.
There's not a problem with the curving principle.
There's a problem with the curving execution.
He left his apprentice in charge.
Just rip it all out.
Yep, another kick in the guts.
There's no way they're tiling that. No.
The hits just keep on coming.
The membrane hasn't stuck to the substrate.
Blow after blow. We keep taking hits.
Surely that's the last major setback that we can have. Yeah.
What a nightmare.
Send everyone home. Let's reassess.
I think we're probably gonna have to look at it Monday.
If this isn't the Sunday roasting of an absolute lifetime... Oh!
SHAYNNA: I'm excited what are boys gonna do!
Oh! Oooh.
That's a better colour.
Oh, yellow. Yay.
Like what you wanted. What is that?
The judges walked into your house with a spring in their step
and were very pleased to see
you had painted the door from the week one bathroom
and changed the interior colour of the room too.
Oh, that's night and day.
Look at that. And white like I wanted.
Here we go! They're listening! Oh, that's so much better.
How good is that!
That has transformed that bathroom completely.
This now feels so coastal. Yep.
And it feels elegant.
Love it. Go, boys!
Hooray. I love how they're listening.
Oh, this is a good start. This is gonna be awesome!
Oh, I can't wait to see this.
RICKY: I'm ready to be skewered. HAYDN: Mm-hm.
Turn the barbecue up.
SHAYNNA: What the...
"..fudge is this?"
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
MARTY: You're kidding me.
Doesn't take a week to paint a door.
Like, what on earth has happened here?
Wow.
That's a huge shame.
There's not even waterproofing, let alone a tile!
The judges walked to your main ensuite bathroom
and you got exactly what you were expecting.
How's that spring that you had in your step?
They're just like... No, there is no spring.
You know what...phwoar, this is... this is bad.
This is the most unfinished room in Block history.
It actually isn't.
# Bad to the bone... #
DARREN: Dan and Carleen just couldn't get there in the end.
SHAYNNA: What on earth have they done for a week?
You're kidding me.
What an absolute disaster.
NEALE WHITAKER: What we've ended up with is a disaster.
Please tell me he's not a tiler. He's a tiler.
There's really only one direction you can go from here, boys.
Darren noted that to do a bathroom in a week
just about everything has to go exactly right
and it's pretty obvious this week that wasn't the case.
It seems to me that...
A dispute with the builder?
It feels like somebody walked off. That's what I feel.
And it feels like somebody walked off at a point
where they couldn't continue at all
and if that's the case, then I feel really sorry for the boys.
Mmm. Oh, I feel sick for them!
In a positive, boys, the layout is excellent.
I can already see that, you know, just from the planning perspective,
everything is in the right spot.
I mean, that would've been double feature shower,
double vanity over to the left, toilet tucked in behind the right.
What's quite annoying is that if this was, say, Monday or Tuesday
and we walked in here,
I would've actually felt quite excited for them,
because this skylight is amazing.
That is absolutely artful and beautiful.
Wow. This is... This is crushing.
The judges praised you boys
for the fact every signal they've sent to the judges today
looks like you have at least tried.
This shows me that at least the boys came and swept it.
(LAUGHS) They got it clean for us.
Honestly, we saw an elevation of the week one bathroom
and that bathroom already looks streets ahead of what it used to be.
Then I am confident this would've been fantastic.
It probably would've helped them, actually,
to lay out some of the tiles and some of the decisions they made
so we could make that decision as well
because we can't actually see what the inclusions were gonna be,
but obviously the finish is just diabolical.
You're in a hole. And now you have to dig yourselves out.
That's it. Cool.
PAIGE: Good stuff, boys. (APPLAUSE)
I think the best thing about today, there is tomorrow
and we're looking forward to a fresh start tomorrow, so...
(ELECTRICS FIZZ, LIGHTNING CRACKS) (PENGUINS BRAY)
# Oh, I think that I found myself a cheerleader
# And she is always right there when I need her... #
SCOTT: OK. Kylie and Brad.
I hate bathroom week.
Are we continuing on the black-and-white theme
Black-and-white. Black-and-white?
They hate it but I'm sticking with it.
OK. Sure. Yeah.
We're gotta stick to our guns,
so we're actually flipping the bathrooms
and instead of doing the black,
we're doing white with black accents,
so I already went in having a plan of a white marble
with, like, a bronze sort of vein through it.
The Melbourne Marble tile. Melbourne Marble? OK.
"No, sorry. They're on a ship."
Mate, well done. First team to be plastering.
I think you'll make waterproof Wednesday.
SHELLEY: The all-important... Gnome.
..penguin! (CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)
The winner of the first challenge is house four.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
We won the penguin. We're gonna use it, Scotty.
(LAUGHS)
And we're gonna go from fourth to third.
Hello! Hello!
Yeah. Yes?
Now we're talking. OK. Good.
Beautiful. Yeah, do you like t?
Amazing. Love it.
We've done enough for the win.
We're just not on brief.
They want coastal. We're sort of going...
And we're missing a shower door.
# You did it again
# Won't you listen to me
# When I'm telling you it's no good for you... #
Wow. OK.
Let's start with that shou sugi ban timber...
that is absolutely stunning.
Everything that I wanted to see. It works super well.
I hope they love it and I hope they put it in the other bathroom too
'cause that's a big, big tick.
Yeah. Absolutely.
And with the contrast to the blackbutt, it's a beautiful combo,
that light timber, dark timber
and that's the look that we were talking about,
is that modern contemporary Australian beach house.
Also, these lights are a much better version
of the lights I actually hated in the bathroom next door.
Yeah.
They're modern, they're simpler,
they have what they were trying to achieve
to have that sort of difference in height and sculptural form,
so I think this is also an improvement.
"And there's less black and it really works."
I feel that they have listened to the last few weeks
because this is staying true to what you wanted to see in them,
which was a little bit of pzazz, not to lose their personality
but this isn't loud, it's not throwing too much at the buyer.
They have warmed up the bathroom
by toning down so much heaviness in the black.
Well, to me, that wall is absolutely stunning
but I'm afraid when I turn around I'm gonna think the opposite.
(CHILLING ORGAN MUSIC)
Well, I want to tell them, stop with the Art Deco.
Just stop it. Stop it.
I said it last week - we are in Phillip Island.
We are not in Art Deco world.
And standing in that shower,
like, can you imagine sort of washing yourself?
You're gonna fall in that bath. You're going to be juggling.
And again, is that the right width?
It's a little bit bigger than the last one.
But it is definitely tight.
I know how to check it.
Oh, there you go.
It's slightly bigger. We have space.
We have 100mm more.
And you're missing a door.
I have to say, their styling,
I feel like they've lost themselves because that...
Like, what is that? This is terrible.
"The styling lets the room down.
"The dirty bath mat on the floor is just not good styling."
I'm beyond nervous for this couple now.
I feel like they're lost, they're not listening.
This is not the right bathroom. This does not say beach house.
It doesn't say modern contemporary.
We're in a beach environment
where people are gonna come in here and go,
"Oh, it's a bit cold, it's a bit tactile."
This has just gone so far from what is needed in a beach house,
it's not funny.
I get that, but Phillip Island isn't just about the beach
and we are only two hours out of Melbourne,
so for the buyers that are looking at these properties,
these guys are designing something
that maybe just has a broader appeal.
It doesn't have to be ultra beachy
for them to be successful in the market.
Marty actually thinks you got a lot right this week.
"Buyers will not punish you for any of the choices you have made
"in this room."
I think it's a massive step in the right direction for these guys.
And they're not losing their personality.
Bit of a mixed bag in your feedback for you this week.
Lots to think about. That's it.
BRAD: Thanks, Scotty.
SCOTT: OK. Kristian... KYLIE: Dirty.
..and Mimi.
I guess we sort of expected it. I did expect it.
And, yes, I'm sticking with black.
Black's the thing.
(LIGHTNING CRACKS, ELECTRICS FIZZ) (PENGUINS BRAY)
SCOTT: It's main ensuite week
and it's time for our newlyweds in house five
to hear their feedback from the judges.
Kristian and Mimi.
This week was...a disaster.
You're so 'exagg'.
# It starts with... #
MIMI: We have another big space to work with this week
and as much as that's a plus for us
because we can put more things in it and make it look grand...
There's more work. ..it's more work!
Today is Tuesday frustration.
Looking for people.
I don't know what's happening.
So those boards are gonna have to come down.
We're gonna have to get the R7.0 batts in.
KRISTIAN: Can't we put the R7.0 batts from this side
and slide them in?
No. Yeah, but then...
We don't guess on The Block. We do it right.
Yeah, I know, but then...
INTERVIEWER: Why does Kristian look so worried?
MIMI: That's just his face now.
It's just stuck like that.
INTERVIEWER: So, you reckon you've got the three-peat going?
Who's Pete?
(QUIRKY POP MUSIC PLAYS)
SHAYNNA: Wow.
MARTY: Another massive room. Yeah.
This is extremely spacious and when I say extreme, I mean extreme.
It almost feels TOO big.
That looks like it's nearly 2.5m in terms of a shower.
MIMI: Party shower.
(OTHERS LAUGH)
Yeah, we all know about the party shower.
You know what, I nearly hit the shower screen.
MARTY: That's too close to the door. And you don't even need it.
I mean, what water is this keeping out?
Why ARE they there?
I walked into your bathroom today and nearly walked into the shower screen.
Yeah, it's because of the fall.
It has to fall a certain way from the showerhead.
But the tiler can fix that when they're laying down the floors.
We had to have a door if we put it closer. So... Yeah.
Then you should've put a door.
Shaynna agreed. She said, "This room doesn't feel good to me."
This is such a huge waste of space.
That glass is literally... Yep.
Yeah. ..3cm off the doorjamb.
Yeah. Yeah.
That has to be one of the biggest errors.
Like, you've got to actually open the door all the way
if you just come in here.
I've never seen such a big, useless shower.
There's no bath for so much square metreage.
This here is wrecking the room
and I believe from the effort they've gone into
they think that this is the hero of the room.
And it's not.
But there are also plenty of positives.
SHAYNNA: I think as a mood board this is stunning.
And then this beautiful little bit of timber and panelling.
Whether you agree with it or not, it softens it.
DARREN: I really love that decision with the tiles here.
This is a really gorgeous colour.
I love the materiality, I love the texture, I love the colour.
I think it's gorgeous.
Those basins are beautiful.
I like this sort of, you know, contemporary forms of the archways
and how it works with the curves of the glass.
But this is planned poorly, it's laid out poorly.
Those benches are too high.
Are they seats? Yep.
Yeah, well, just remember this for a rule.
Seats are 450, tables are 750, benchtops are 900.
You go 20mm either way of that and it doesn't feel comfortable.
I don't like their styling.
When we went into the bathroom and the bedroom,
they had a few little references that were slightly subtle.
Now we have another whale's tail.
We have a penguin and we have a penguin.
It's now getting naff.
"What's with the birds?"
They've just come right off course when it comes to their styling.
It's naff, it's cliched. Like, no.
Darren also found your notes to the judges on the door...
or what he politely termed a list of excuses on the door.
"Electrician said downlights would fit but they were too deep."
"Ran out of time for grout and silicone
"and also ran out of time to fit off the vanity lights."
So that means it's my fault? No.
I didn't give you enough time. (LAUGHS)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
SHAYNNA: I don't like their excuses,
because they did it well in week one and two.
When you've been winning, you've got the budget,
you've got the ability to really turn it up a notch upstairs
for one of the most valuable rooms in a campaign
and you've missed the mark.
Maybe they got a little bit arrogant.
Maybe they got a little bit too cocky. Maybe...
Complacency. Yep. That's it.
Yep.
"Maybe they're getting a bit arrogant and cocky."
This is a massive drop of the ball. Yeah.
For the winners of the previous weeks, it's a real let-down
for such an important room for the sale of the house.
And it just shows how quickly...
(CLICKS FINGERS) your momentum can shift.
Mmm.
That's it. I'm glad that's over.
KRISTIAN: Thank you.
MIMI: I think I'm more upset
because I know what our team had to do to get us there
and to hear that, I don't think, you know...it's not very nice.
(LIGHTNING CRACKS, ELECTRICS FIZZ) (PENGUINS BRAY)

OK. Jesse and Paige. Darren Palmer.

lets these traditional details really sing.

I'll take that. I'm happy with that.
COURTNEY: You're like "Alright, bye."
Don't hug yet. It's not over.
That's amazing.
No.
Courtney and Grant.
DARREN: It's so current.
That chequerboard pattern and micro-cement and coloured stone
and travertine,
it's, like, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
COURTNEY: It's gonna be half a point. (LAUGHS)
Ricky and Haydn.
It probably would've helped them, actually,
to lay out some of the tiles and some of the decisions they made
because we can't actually see what the inclusions were gonna be.
Kylie and Brad.
DARREN: That shou sugi ban timber, that is absolutely stunning.
It works super well. That's a big, big tick.
Kristian and Mimi.
This is planned poorly, it's laid out poorly.
Those benches are too high.
Well, there we go.
OK. Marty Fox. Jesse and Paige.
MARTY: This here is ticking all the boxes for a buyer.
Double shower, double basin
and with the slight elevation in terms of its finish.
PAIGE: Oh, thank god.
Courtney and Grant.
MARTY: I don't think you're gonna find many buyers
that would walk through here
and not just appreciate and gasp at the level of quality that you feel
standing in here.
Ricky... Oh, yeah, that's right.
(LAUGHTER)
(EXCLAIMS)
COURTNEY: Scotty! (LAUGHTER)
Ricky and Haydn.
This will say 'issues'... now we've walked in here.
I would've actually felt quite excited for them.
Kylie and Brad.
MARTY: They've warmed up the bathroom
by toning down so much heaviness in the black.
And Kristian and Mimi.
I've never seen such a big, useless shower.
Rightio.
Before I go behind the scoreboard here,
Brad and Kylie, you've got the first bonus point,
a penguin bonus point right here.
What do you want to do? BRAD: No.
No, thanks, Scotty. (LAUGHTER)
I've got to ask.
I can do the calculations, Scotty. Right. Roger that.
I don't think we'll ever get to use it.
I'll see you in a sec. It's gonna be tight.
OK. Shaynna Blaze. Jesse and Paige.
SHAYNNA: This is sophisticated, fresh, it's elegant.
Oh, I'm so proud of them.
Courtney and Grant.
SHAYNNA: It's classic.
It's got a very muted palette but you walk in and you go, "Oh!"
It's sexy.
Ricky and Haydn.
SHAYNNA: There's not even waterproofing, let alone a tile!
Kylie and Brad.
Well, I want to tell them, stop with the Art Deco.
Just stop it. Stop it.
Kristian and Mimi.
I don't like their styling. It's now getting naff.
OK.
The winner of week three on The Block,
main bathroom week, is...
by half a point... WOMAN: Oh!
(LAUGHTER) (BLEEP).
..by half a point...
This is the redemption...
Here it is.
It's Courtney and Grant! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
What?! We won.
Oh... We won.
It's relief, not excitement at this point.
Second two weeks in a row. You've finally taken out the win.
Well done. That's all I needed.
Now I can go. (LAUGHS)
I thought you had us by half a point.
Finally taking out the win this week is Courtney and Grant with 28 points,
followed by Jesse and Paige on 27.5 points,
including the first ten of the series.
Third place is Kylie and Brad on 23 points.
Fourth place goes to Kristian and Mimi, who scored 21.5 points.
And in last place this week is the boys from house three
with only four points.
10,000 bucks from Ford coming your way.
But that's not the only prize from Ford,
because our Ford getaway is going to be amazing,
as we go to meet some VIPs
when we head to the Continental Hotel at Sorrento.
CONTESTANTS: Oh!
And you get a beautiful night's sleep and a meal, celebrity chefs...
It's gonna be amazing. Thank you, Scotty.
GRANT: Thank you.
And Jesse and Paige, well, I bet you thought you had it in the bag
when you got a ten from Darren.
I honestly... I'm just...
I didn't think about anything after the ten.
First ten of the comp.
Very difficult to get a ten from Darren.
Yeah.
He doesn't hand them out, I'm telling you.
Last time he gave someone a ten, they went on to win The Block.
Wow.
The good news is it comes with a very special prize,
which I will personally hand-deliver tomorrow.
OK. That's exciting. JESSE AND PAIGE: Thank you.
We got a ten!
The first ten as well. I think that is just such good juju.
OK, look out for next week's room to drop on Domain tomorrow morning.
Will it be a bathroom? I hope not.
(LAUGHS) Who knows?
COURTNEY: Oh, who knows? OK.
Work hard, everybody. Good luck. Have a great week.
See you. CONTESTANTS: Thanks, Scotty.
It is very tough, but I'm going to step into next week
with, you know, a new...
Outlook. ..outlook.
And we'll take it on. We'll take all the criticism on.
INTERVIEWER: All of it? All of it.
I'm arrogant. I'll try and change that.
Bit arrogant, bit cocky and complacent.
I'm cocky. I'll change that too.
I disagree with those comments. I don't think we were complacent.
I don't think we took our foot off the pedal.
But, no, if you don't know us, don't call us arrogant.
COURTNEY: Yeah. GRANT: Is that what they said?
Yeah. Oh, really?
They called us arrogant. You're not arrogant.
I'm literally the last person to, like...
You're 100% not arrogant.
SCOTT: I know it's a lot to take in...
(ECHOING)
..and it's very shocking news.
I'm really sorry.
VOICEOVER: This is the week...
I'm not having you on site.
You're a snake.
She wants to be left alone.
(SIGHS) It's just frustrating.
You want me to want to be here and I don't.
Then walk out, man!
Pressures of The Block can be a little bit too much for some.
..it all builds... Cut your attitude out.
I can't cut my attitude out when you actually
haven't been listening to me.
He just acts like I'm the problem.
..to one life-changing decision...
It's healthy to argue to an extent.
It's getting extreme on The Block.
..that rocks everyone...
It's a very brave decision that you've made.
..to the core.
That is for the best.

One unmissable week...
