(PAIGE SNIFFS)
SCOTTY CAM: It was a heartbreaking way to start the week.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Nothing's more important than your mental health.
And it IS a big decision and a brave one that you've both made.
(CRYING) I hope so.
Love you all. See you.
We've got a block to build. Onward and upward.
Jesse and Paige have left The Block.
For the other contestants, there was
still a main bedroom and walk-in robe to deliver.
(SQUEALS)
Hey, guys. Hi.
Block royalty, Ronnie and Georgia
turned up for a Winners are Grinners dinner.
(CHEERING)
And I asked them to stick around.
Guys, thank you so much for coming back for the whole show.
This is House One and this is where you're gonna be.
GEORGIA: OK.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
What is going on?
And we hatched a prank that went down like a lead balloon.
If they come back, I'm leaving.
Our Queen Kylie threw her toys out of the cot.
They're dropping me to the airport. She was having none of it.
Our prank has backfired. Oh, no!
From here it was damage control.
Kylie, Ronnie is a bit of a prankster and so am I.
I'm a bit of a prankster as well.
Ronnie and Georgia, and this is the honest truth,
are here for one day only and then they're going home this afternoon.
(BOTH SQUEAL)
And fresh blood arrived. Oh, my goodness.
Our youngest contestants ever.
Maddy 24 and Charlotte 22, from Sydney.
And they are house flippers.
We've got renovating, like, down pat.
I take the planning, I take the budgeting,
where as the practical side, you pick her before you pick me.
These girls will be a big threat.
Nice to meet you.
Everyone welcome them except guess who.
Can you just play nice? No.
I'm The Block grinch.
Tonight, with only 26 hours to go,
Maddy and Charlotte still don't have plasterers.
MAN: The girls wanna know if you're keen to help them out later.
MAN: Not really.
Think they'd come down? No.
Even if I, like, paid them extra?
MAN (OVER PHONE): No. (LAUGHTER IN BACKGROUND)
(GROANS)
We're literally screwed.
KYLIE: Going all over my walls.
And the Grinch, aka Kylie, gambles big on a secret weapon.
MAN: Would you believe it's never been used on The Block before.
Teams battle through the night and into the morning.
Right up until...
Tools down!
(ECHO) Tools down!
Then the judges get their socks blown off.
DARREN: Oh! It's visceral. I can feel this room.
This is THE most marketable room so far on The Block.
SHAYNNA: This takes my breath away.
And there's still a one-point-penguin in play.
(PENGUINS CHIRP)
# Don't know where it goes
# But it's only me and I walk alone... #
This week is the biggest week we've had so far.
# I walk this empty street... #
MAN: It's going to be a massive day.
I think it'll be the biggest day we've had on The Block so far.
Yep.
# I walk alone. #
SCOTTY: That's right, because these are the
biggest rooms they've tackled so far.
All of them are over 30 square metres in size,
with ceiling heights of around 4m.
That's a lot of plaster.
A lot of paint.
And a lot of work.
Oh, my lordy.
We've spent a full day getting our room sanded
and ready for painting so we can absolutely nail it and
then start styling and get the room ready for delivery tomorrow morning.
Over in House One, the new arrivals
on The Block, Maddy and Charlotte, are in big trouble.
Morning, girls. BOTH: Good morning.
Delivery. Oh, wow.
Got your hot choccies. This is great service, is in it.
Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.
How did we go with the plastering? Disaster.
Oh, dear, that's my word. That means bad.
Yeah. It is bad.
At, like, 10pm last night we called the plaster
and he said he wasn't coming back.
Because we hadn't had... Like, he didn't say goodbye when he left
and we were like, oh, we'll just double check that he's coming back
because, you know, it's been a bit of a flaky situation.
And then Charlotte called him and he was like,
"Yeah, sorry, I'm not coming back tomorrow."
And we were like, ahh, OK.
So, what you've got to do now is hustle.
BOTH: Yeah. Hustle whoever is here.
BOTH: Yeah. Literally.
I think we'll just walk around and just like...
Maybe we'll make a round now. Beg.
Yeah. Please. That's all you can do.
Maybe I'll go now. Yeah.
OK. Good work.
Alright, thanks, Dan. No worries.
So, House One's biggest issue is they don't have a plasterer
and they've still got a couple of hours of plastering to go.
If they find a plasterer, there's two hours of plastering,
then there's drying time, then you've got a sand it,
and then you've gotta start the painting process.
Hey. Hey, honey. How are you going?
We're on the rounds to beg.
Have you had any luck? No.
The girls want to know if you're keen to help them out later.
MAN: Not really.
Probably just work on a backup plan.
Yeah, that's what I'm trying to work on now.
Yeah.
Do you know where your plasterers are?
In Melbourne. Think they'd come down?
No. Really? No chance?
Zero chance. Less than zero.
COURTNEY: The girls came in again to ask, yeah, for the plasterer.
It's a no.
Love to help them and if we had time,
if the guys were done last night, they could have them,
but we need them today.
Was your name? Panda.
You don't happen to think that,
like, at some point you could top coat ours?
'Cause our plasterer decided to ditch us last night.
Oh, jeez.
(LAUGHS) And so we can't finish our room.
And we only got here on Wednesday. Um...
I'm not sure.
Trying to find a plasterer who can drop everything and get to
Phillip Island at a moment's notice, is going to be next to impossible.
I rang every man and his dog.
MAN (OVER PHONE) No, I'm sorry, we can't.
There's no way we could get there. We're very busy.
$1,000 and sand?
MAN (OVER PHONE): We're not doing sanding.
You won't do sanding? MAN (OVER PHONE): Not today, sorry.
I've already got plans.
MAN (OVER PHONE): Today? Now? Right now?
Yeah, right now. (LAUGHS)
MAN (OVER PHONE): Sorry.
It's too far. They don't want to go there.
Even if I, like, paid them extra for travel?
No. (LAUGHTER IN BACKGROUND)
I talked to people from Melbourne,
from Phillip Island, from who knows where else.
This is just, like, this morning to random numbers,
and I had a million yesterday.
Eugh!
I don't even know at this point who I've rung, who I haven't run,
so we're literally screwed.
SCOTTY: Over in House Two,
Home Pro by DIYblinds are working out how to install Courtney and
Grant's recessed curtains into a very tight wall niche.
You have to adjust the track and... I'll adjust the track.
I think I might have to shorten it down a little bit
so it doesn't go into the reveal as far.
So, the track's got to be shortened slightly now.
Alright. Yeah.
These guys do an amazing job every week
installing all The Block's curtains and blinds at the last minute.
And Dan's concerned that House Two
is trying to cramp too many features into their main bedroom
and walk-in robe.
Have you guys bitten off more than you can chew this week?
You think? No.
No, we'll be right. Archways, curves.
You've got the big skylight, feature wall, nib walls.
Skylight's not far. Feature wall's getting done.
Grafico's easy.
To be honest, We don't have as much as other people's.
Oh, no, there's a lot here.
We'll get it done. We're fine, Dan. We'll be fine.
One way or another we'll get it done.
Don't stress.
It's a lot. But if you get it... I saw your Block contest.
You went all out. 'Mind Games Daniel'.
It's not mind games, I'm just pointing out the obvious.
No, we'll be right. We'll be sweet.
Courtney and Grant's main bedroom is
at the end of the house in the bedroom wing,
and it's gonna be chock-a-block
with a large mirror, fireplace, recessed curtains,
and lounge chairs.
Plus a plush green fabric king bed,
artwork, and Porta panelled back wall.
It's a lot.
One way or another we'll get it done.
We always get things done.
Not just on The Block. We get it done.
Touch wood. Keep going.
One way or another. I'll kill myself before this room's not finished.
Don't say that.
(PHONE DIALING)
VOICE MESSAGE: Thank you for calling...
(ENDS CALL) That one didn't work.
I need plasterers. I rang every man and his dog.
And then I went back around to the houses again
because I'd already gone, I'd properly actually gone, like,
three times to the other houses to ask if they were done yet
and we could maybe take their plasterers
once they'd finished their house.
So, after this, I'm unavailable. Sorry. Yeah.
You don't have any other contacts that I... Even...
Look, we're gonna keep trying for you.
We're and have breakfast now... Oh, thank you.
We rang a couple of people. Thank you.
So, we'll keep trying for you.
CHARLOTTE: Poor Sam.
I'd come and bugged him multiple times,
and his answer was no, he was catching a flight to Adelaide
that day.
Fully fair. And his boys had done, like, 12 hour days.
Like, two days before. So, they were all knackered.
But there was a slight chance.
Even if you come for 15 minutes, half an hour.
At this point I was asking for a minute.
I'll give you an hour now. I'll get in there and start.
Are you sure? Yeah.
DAN: Good work, mate. I could cry. That's so lovely.
Good work. There's an hour. Yeah, that's a start.
All you need's an hour off everyone. And then... (LAUGHS)
It's like, "I'll take an hour from you, and you, and you."
One hour, that's it. (CHUCKLES)
And then I literally came back from Mitre 10
with all my plastering stuff,
and they had two plasterers.
Sam from Getting You Plastered is an absolute legend.
We've got reinforcements.
Our plaster ended up there. Yeah. How did that happen?
He was walking out and they must have accosted him.
And begged him.
Not sure.
Really?
Yeah, I'll give you a hand. Oh, my gosh, thank you so much.
What's your name? BOTH: Jayden.
Oh, my gosh, you're a literal lifesaver.
No dramas. Oh, my gosh. OK, what do you need?
SAM: You have it easy. I might go, eh?
(LAUGHTER)
I said I was only coming 'cause you're here.
And off they went.
They were legends.
# What's wrong with being confident? #
CHARLOTTE: We are confident that we are going to get this done.
We are gonna be up all night until it is done.
We have the plasterers from next door.
They're gonna save our butts
and then after that we are going to sand and then paint.
SCOTTY: It's a big call but what the girls
are hoping to create is a luxurious coastal
style bedroom with a neutral colour palette of white, cream, and beige.
Hardie Groove panelling on the back wall
with sconce lights,
and sheer linen curtains to the ceiling.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
From week one, our dark queen, Kylie,
has been determined to stand out from the crowd.
Dark, textural, predominantly black.
And her styling has been controversial.
This is probably one of the best things in here,
is the black toilet paper.
Rude.
Gradually she's forged a path through the dark forest and is now
producing competitive rooms.
DARREN: Let's start with that Shou Sugi Ban timber.
That is absolutely stunning.
That's a big, big tick. Yeah.
And today her latest stroke of genius has arrived.
Well, Grafico, I've been speaking with Damian about
doing sort of more of a metallic gold in our coffered ceiling.
Goldie bronze, I guess. Yeah.
And inside of our, like, the ceiling of our walk-in robe.
Going all over my walls. It's going everywhere.
DAN: Don't tell me that.
Just my little insert of my ceiling.
Coffer. Coffer.
Mmm.
Would you believe it's never been used on The Block before.
(LAUGHS)
It's going to be a statement. A statement.
(LAUGHS)
You look horrified.
Kylie's brief was she's all about statements,
so she wants statements everywhere.
(LAUGHS)
It's very metallic too, so it's gonna be pretty cool
when the lights shine up.
I like daring.
You've got to do something bold.
You've gotta, like, level it up.
And because I've done black and white, so I'm levelling it up.
To? To metallic ceiling.
Like, what else would I do?
Who cares what I think? Shaynna's gonna love it.
You chose the most interesting one, I think.
Yeah. Never been seen.
A hundred percent never been seen. Never been seen.
I like to do things like that. Mmm.
Never been seen. Nice.
Good work.
Are you alright there, Dragon?
Is that alright.
I'm holding the width.
Can you just put a hand in the middle?
I'm glad I'm not doing that.
(SLURPS)
This week I feel much more at ease
because this is way more me with this room.
So, I know the judges are going to be really off it.
They're going to be like, "Oh, god, she's really unleashed,
"and we don't like it."
(CHUCKLES)
SCOTTY: This week their main bedroom and walk-in robe will
be up the end of the house in the bedroom wing.
So, Kylie's planning to cover her entire coffered ceiling
in the main bedroom with the bronze gold wallpaper.
And it will also feature on the ceiling
and back wall of the walk-in robe.
The rest of the bedroom will have this statement charred black timber
called Shou Sugi Ban,
on the back wall with up-lighting.
Cascading pendant lights and pink tones on the bed.
PRODUCER: Why is it so important to you
to stick to your guns, Kylie?
It's important because I'm stubborn as hell and...
Ain't that the (BLEEP) truth. ..I know what I want.
(LAUGHS)
In the last four weeks, Kristian and Mimi in House Five have
won three times.
It's Kristian and Mimi!
Kristian and Mimi again.
Kristian and Mimi.
(APPLAUSE)
They are running super hot,
and their styling choices have been brilliant.
So, what is it that they are doing right?
I think what we've found for all of our rooms is that
emotional connection.
You want to walk into a room and you
want to be like, OK, I see myself here.
Like, this is where I feel safe.
This is my safe space, essentially.
And I want everyone to feel that in all of our rooms.
But this main bedroom is yellow, sandy.
And sand, ground, where you're most grounded.
Their main bedroom is located upstairs and Mimi's sandy theme
runs through the carpet, rug,
Porta timber feature wall,
and artwork.
It's offset by ochre and brown colours in the cushions,
throw rug, and armchair.
And the cherry on top this week is the bedhead from former winners
Steph and Gian's Japandi Estate collection.
Even this week, you know, everyone
came in and was like, wow, why is it so quiet and peaceful up here?
It's just the vibe House Five's got going on.
Teams push through the night.
And into the morning, frantic to deliver a winning room.
The judges are gobsmacked.
The fact that they can pull this together in the space of a week...
SHAYNNA: Yeah. ..blows my mind.
This takes my breath away.
It absolutely takes my breath away.
The winner by half a point...
And it's one of the tightest results ever.
(INDISTINCT SPEECH)
(PENGUINS CHIRP)
SCOTTY: It's Main Bedroom Week,
and there's a lot of work to do because these rooms are big.
Most of them over 30 square metres in size.
That's triple the average bedroom size in Australia.
And in House Three, Ricky and Haydn are under the pump.
They messed up their flooring order
so it's going in late, like, right now.
Floors have got to get installed.
Plastering getting finished in the robe.
Curtains will get installed.
We've gotta finish off this feature Porta timber wall.
Sparkies have got to fit off.
Aircon's gotta go on.
Sanding's gotta get done.
Then we've got a paint. Then we've gotta style it.
Put our artwork, bed together.
Yeah, make sure everything comes together.
So, there's a lot of stuff there.
It's just managing your time and your trades better,
and just having a better plan.
(ON PHONE) Yo.
Did you know that there's carpet going in the main bedroom?
We thought we had boards the whole way through.
It's definitely mentioned in the email.
Is it too late to change it?
Because me and Haydn didn't pick up on the fact that
our timber flooring hadn't been sorted earlier in the week,
there was a miscommunication, and we were getting carpets installed.
But we didn't want carpets, we wanted boards.
So, because of that, Flooring Xtra were good enough to change that
but it couldn't happen until Saturday.
It probably cost us two or three hours.
I reckon get the boys to help, otherwise...
He's only on his own. Yeah, I know. Alright.
Quicker is always better, Dan. That's it.
Yeah, great idea, Dan, but it's fallen on deaf ears,
and Sandu from Flooring Xtra is left to do it all on his own.
HAYDN: Lots, lots of delays. That's the thing.
Like, generally most of the time it's gonna be,
it's gonna be our fault.
Yeah.
The boys love a bit of Grafico wallpaper.
Week Two they used it in their kids' bedroom,
and last week in their guest bedroom.
So, what's on the wall today?
Oh, yeah.
It looks nice, doesn't it? MAN: Very impressive.
It'll look even better with the rest of the bed on it.
Yep.
Yep, so, when you add the king bed,
palm tree wallpaper,
and white Porta timber backdrop,
floorboards, large rug,
and coffered ceiling,
you've potentially got a winning room.
If we can get this done...
Like, we have a lot to do today,
but if we can get this done, the boys are a red-hot chance for a win.
Over at House Four,
Brad's just walked into his main bedroom and he's seen this.
(SCREAMS)
The downlights are being cut out
and they've drilled right where a truss is
so the light doesn't fit through the freshly installed Grafico.
PRODUCER: What are you gonna do about that?
I'm not going to do (BLEEP) all about it.
But it better get fixed.
Yeah, so, we're trying to repair the hole that's there.
That's a bit of a shame but, you know, these things happen.
So, we're gonna try to cut a patch.
Yeah, I haven't used this material like this before
so I'll give it a go.
Fine precision work.
We'll stick it up there and I think that'll take your eye off it.
Especially once the lights are going down. I think it's gonna work.
I think it's gonna be alright. (CHUCKLES)
How does it look from down there?
MAN: It's a circle (INDISTINCT SPEECH).
Thing is, like, at this stage... Yeah, I know.
..it's probably all we can do.
SCOTTY: Well, it looks better, maybe.
So, I guess we pray to the judging gods that no-one sees it
and we get over the line.
SCOTTY: So, that fixes the dodgy hole but
Kylie and Brad want another eight holes
drilled for downlights that won't be blocked by the steel in the roof.
Surely they're not going to make the same mistake twice.
They're gonna check and they're gonna triple check.
And if they need someone to get up in the ceiling and check again,
then that's what's going to be happening
before they put a hole in my ceiling.
So, Brad and apprentice electrician Stanley get up into the roof
to check out the position of all the steel batons and trusses,
and relate that information to the guys below.
So, if me getting up there
and doublechecking the measurements is going to make it faster, well,
that's what we did, and that's what's been done.
(TOOL WHIRS)
And finally we have liftoff
with holes being drilled in the right places
and downlights being installed.
Hallelujah.
Hi.
Look, they're fine where they are.
I probably would have wanted them, like, in and back a little bit.
It's fine though.
How much light do you really need...
I'm happy where they are now. ..in a bedroom?
I've still got pendants to go in so...
PRODUCER: Are they big? Oh, they're...
Yeah, of course they are. They're big.
That was a stupid question.
I do everything oversized.
So, wait... (CHUCKLES)
Did you just pinch your wife's bum?
No. I don't think his hand was even...
(LAUGHS)
SCOTTY: In House One, newbies Maddy and Charlotte
are experiencing their first night trying to get their room finished
before judging at 9am tomorrow morning.
CHARLOTTE: It is currently 9pm and we are still prepping for paint.
We have a long, long way to go.
And over at House Three, Ricky and
Haydn are also pushing to get it all done.
(SINGING)
# Looking for some hot stuff baby this evening
# I need some hot stuff baby... #
PRODUCER: Is there a reason you're naked?
(LAUGHS) It's (BLEEP) hot in here.
It's hot, this wall.
All our insulation. We did a good job.
Yeah. And it's real hard work sanding over there.
Please put some clothes back on.
I think it's, like, 10:30pm.
Not one lick of paint is on the walls.
After sanding we started painting the room at 3:30am
on, I guess it was Sunday at this point.
So, Sunday, and Reveal's at 9am.
Spraying definitely saved our butts.
I was so confident in the fact that
Charlotte knew how to use the spray gun.
Painting, rolling, would have literally killed us.
I didn't even know if we would have got one coat on.
Let's get it. Let's do it.
I just got my second wind, hard. I'm jagged.
(LAUGHS)
I am going to literally just load the gun up and spray the lot.
It's a bad day to be an unpainted wall, let's just say that.
(LAUGHTER)
We didn't finish spraying until 6am.
6am.
Judgement Day waits for no-one.
We can do this.
And some of the best rooms ever seen emerge from the chaos.
I have not seen a room like it.
It is gobsmackingly beautiful.
But he's actually thinking of asking Channel 9 if
he can be a bidder in this auction.
I'm in love with this house. Get your cheque-book out.
(PENGUINS CHIRP)
# Bring me a higher love
# Bring me a higher love... #
SCOTTY: There's still a lot of unfinished rooms this morning.
Newbies Maddy and Charlotte, who only arrived on Wednesday,
are struggling to finish.
And so are Ricky and Haydn.
The rest are close, very close.
PRODUCER: How are you? Good.
Tired. Tired?
Yeah. Just final touches.
Tired, sleep deprived, excited to see results.
I don't like it like that.
Quick, we're running out of time.
now that it's coming down to the nitty-gritty,
there's definitely some finer details that we can't perfect.
You can only do what you can do. Yep.
Hi, Grantus. Hello.
SCOTTY: With her room under control, Mimi
drops in for a sneak peek at House Two.
Look, it's collapsing.
GRANT: Stop (BLEEP) around and go and clean the (BLEEP) window
or do something.
I'm doing something. Alright, I'll leave.
I'm putting this on. I'll leave now.
Grant had a tantrum. I did.
Pretty standard. What's new?
I'm gonna have to put it on the floor.
I don't care, just do something.
I'm (BLEEP) doing everything at the moment.
Oh, shut up.
The 'Grantrum'. That's the good one, I like that.
You get really angry quickly
and then a couple of minutes later you're over it.
Are you done? It's actually an emo...
But this is not therapy.
It's actually an emotional rollercoaster for me because...
This is not therapy.
The key is just don't react.
How many more minutes? PRODUCER: Seventeen.
Seventeen?
This actually what I was most excited about going on The Block,
is the behind-the-scenes.
It's like, what is actually real, what is not?
Can you pass me some things, Charlotte?
No.
It's harder than you think.
9am is a real time on The Block.
We can do this. We've got this.
(FRANTIC MUSIC)
We were frantically, like, chucking boxes out of the room
into the hallway.
Can't get out of my room.
If it's in the hallway it doesn't matter.
The judges won't be able to walk over it
but we can deal with that later.
It was chaos. What's wrong?
The lights.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Our only hope.
RICKY: Yeah, at this sort of point,
you probably feel more mentally beat.
And when you work that hard for seven days to try and get a win
and you know you're so close.
(WHISTLES) Tools down! Tools down!
(AIR KISSES)
Eugh! I can't bend that far, my back's sore.
(KISSING)
MIMI: Yay!
Oh, my god, I love this room.
We did it.
Oh, you smell, like, smell. Eugh!
Good work, Brus.
HAYDN: I am absolutely gutted.
We didn't complete our room.
We were at this close.
('CRAZY' BY SEAL PLAYS)
SCOTTY: Hello. MAN: Hey, Scotty.
She's saying hello again.
Yeah, she's greeting everybody. Hello, hello.
Hey, Scotty. Hello mate, how are you?
(WHISTLES)
Come on, back here. (FRANKIE BARKS)
Hit your mark. Hey!
Thank you, very much. Hello, everybody.
(ALL GREET SCOTTY)
Girls, welcome to your first
experience at my makeshift HQ, Maddy and Charlotte.
Welcome to The Block.
Thank you. (CHEERING)
You certainly hit the ground running this week,
arriving on Wednesday with 24 hours' notice,
and you fell straight into the middle of Main Bedroom Week,
the biggest room we've done so far in this competition.
So, how are you finding your time on The Block, girls?
It's been great but super chaotic. Yeah.
Sum it up, crazy.
BOTH: Overwhelming.
Well, you know, you will hit the ground running tomorrow
with a full week and a fresh start.
Yeah. We're excited.
I mean, everybody tackled a lot of real estate this week,
and it tested a few of you, didn't it?
Sure did, mate. Yep.
Sure did, indeed.
Good practice for the weeks ahead
'cause the rooms are only going to get bigger and bigger as we go on.
Kitchens, living, dining, not to mention upstairs as well.
That's all happening.
Which is why you have to come in here every Sunday night and walk out
with 10,000 bucks from Ford,
so you can and pay for all those big rooms.
Alright, let's find out who it is going to be.
This is how it works, Maddy and Charlotte. House One is first.
Oh, there we go. That's a bit nerve-wracking.
You get it out of the way, it's fine.
Yeah.
# Come on, vogue vogue
# Let your body move to the music move to the music
# Hey, hey, hey
# Vogue. #
SCOTTY: OK, Maddy and Charlotte.
(WHEELS CREAKS)
Love you all. See you.
Have fun, baby. Yeah!
Whoo!
Today our objective was to give the new team,
whoever they are, a leg up,
and give them the best start to the week and see what happens.
What are we doing?
Fresh blood.
Oh, my goodness!
Crazy. This is wild.
PRODUCER: Oh, my god! You're on The Block.
It's insane. I can't believe it.
How are you, ladies? Hi. So nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. This is crazy.
Now, you're Charlotte? Charlotte. Yes.
And you're Maddy. Hi. Yes.
Are you nervous? Yes.
Yeah. We're all the feelings. Well, don't be nervous.
It's just The Block.
BOTH: Yeah, just the block.
I know that this is not your first rodeo.
BOTH: No.
We don't want anyone else to know.
We live in Sydney but we work in Newcastle.
She's studying at uni and I'm,
like, working doing, like, finance and accounting.
In 2020 we just were like,
why not give this whole house flipping thing a go.
SCOTTY: This, by Sunday morning, has to be a master bedroom
fully painted, decorated, and a walk-in robe.
We haven't even had a full day on site yet and we're already...
Leaving to go for a challenge.
And we thought it would be the perfect opportunity for you
guys to make something magnificent to go in your main bedrooms.
You beauty. (LAUGHTER)
This is, like, a shambles.
Look, I think they did a great job, and for a first challenge as well.
I would have liked to have maybe seen a little bit more colour
in the lampshade.
Wait for it, Shell. Here it comes.
We actually work for ourselves but we flip properties.
Oh, no!
How many properties have you done so far?
We've renovated four.
Three are still going at the moment.
So, how old are you? Twenty-four.
And 22.
Oh, this is great!
Georgia has created this beautiful room, right?
Am I going to, like, flop even more if I try and, like,
so last minute change something?
Are we, like, risking not even finishing?
Stripes to me is just not doing it. OK. Well, don't do it.
Its modern colonial and we're trying to move away from that.
I want James Hardie product.
There's no reason we probably can't glue it to the plaster.
I needed to buy linen, cushions, all the styling bits and bobs.
I have the biggest pile of stuff there.
The poor girls are like, "Oh, my goodness!"
There was definitely a bunch of things that we didn't execute
to exactly how we wanted to.
But that's OK.
I'm proud that we just, we got there.
('FEATHER' BY SABRINA CARPENTER PLAYS)
OK, girls. Your first feedback on The Block.
MARTY: Oh! Maddy and Charlotte.
Look at this. DARREN: It's fresh.
Big ceilings.
What a room.
# It feels so good... #
Big ceiling?
Look at two people that started on Wednesday and they've got this?
This is insane!
Wow.
Let's just acknowledge how much room...
Yeah.
..they had to do in how little time they had to do it.
That's absolutely amazing.
This is just such a fantastic result for the constraints they had.
That's positive.
You've got those beautiful sheers right to the ceiling.
And it's a crushed linen which just
makes it feel so organic and beautiful.
She thought, it's really lovely.
Yeah, the crushed linen sheers that we didn't steam.
I think that's meant to be good but...
Yeah, we're gonna take that as a compliment.
This is definitely an evolution of that modern colonial style.
I really love the Hardie Groove as part of that palette.
That was my idea, wasn't it. Yeah.
Kind of. I'll let you have that one.
I'll take credit for that. (LAUGHTER)
The queen of style, Shaynna Blaze,
has some advice regarding your styling.
We have this huge room but we have really low chairs.
And then we have this huge ceiling
but really high lights.
So, look at the proportion.
And then we have wall sconces that really are too high,
that they should be lower.
Mmm.
The judges all realised it must've been hard
to come into this week with Jesse and Paige's modern colonial style
already well established.
Marty Fox certainly doesn't think
you have to stick to Jesse and Paige's style.
Yep.
There's actually another eight or nine weeks to go so the whole modern
colonial could actually be spun and they could run with their own style.
Because, really, the hero rooms of the property
start from the main suite.
From what I'm seeing now, Maddy and
Charlotte could be a real contender to take out this competition.
They've been here three days and you're giving them THAT call?
Well, look at it. They've done this in three days.
(INDISTINCT SPEECH) Oh!
(EDGY MUSIC)
The judges also knew about the challenge this week at Clay&Co.
I think that is a really cute lamp. I love the colour.
I think that's beautiful.
And I love the shape of the lamp and
the sense of play on the lamp and the artwork.
I love that they have elevated the space.
Like, when I look at the previous rooms,
they were fun and they were modern colonial, but
this here for me, it feels a little bit more expensive in here.
This is a bit more elevated.
Right. So, plain, plain again.
It's beige upon beige.
(SARCASTICALLY) Right. Is elevated.
I feel it is. I don't disagree with you, Marty.
Oh, I might just go now. No! I didn't...
(LAUGHS)
I think there's always a place for beige and beige,
especially in a competition where we have five houses.
They all had their own personality.
I think a missed step would be
to completely ignore what's been done in the past
and then to sort of whitewash it with your own taste
and ignore that completely.
But they haven't.
They've taken elements from it and I think if they continue in that
direction, especially in the living spaces, that's a winning formula.
On to the walk-in wardrobe,
and Kinsman really delivered for you this week.
Wow.
DARREN: Walnut is definitely on trend.
These warm greys, definitely on trend.
They have been given a real gift here.
They could have walked into something that was unworkable
for them, and it matches perfectly with what they've done in the room.
MARTY: As a suite, extremely marketable.
The material selections have been pretty incredible.
Yeah. Mmm.
It's just the craftsmanship, a little bit but, again,
three days on The Block.
Mmm.
You're expecting to see the minor issues that we have here.
And they're minor.
This is a very successful week for Maddy and Charlotte.
Yeah. I totally agree. Welcome to The Block.
Not bad for a couple of accountants. Not bad for a couple of accountants.
That's it, girls. Well done. (APPLAUSE)
That was pretty good. Good job.
I was happy with that. Surprised.
I was stoked.
PRODUCER: Are you ready for your first full week on The Block?
Yeah. A bit nervous but I'm excited. Yeah.
More time. Yay.
Less chaos, hopefully.
(PENGUINS CHIRP)
SHELLEY CRAFT: 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.
SCOTTY: OK. Courtney and 'Grumpy'.
Yeah. Ooh. (LAUGHTER)
MAN: Still a word.
I told you I was keeping it. It's staying.
(SAWING)
This week was chaotic to say the least.
Just everything was so rushed.
And it was main bedroom.
We've got our new builders, Building Under Construction,
which is actually their name.
We'll stay back too.
We're happy to work back a little bit.
Whatever we can work till tonight. Thank you.
So, we'll do whatever you guys need. So...
Let's do it? Let's do it.
So, the fireplace we're getting from Schots Home Emporium.
And it has the exact same look as a real fireplace.
You still have the real timber logs
and then the rest, I guess, is electric.
Kingsman came in and thought they
wanted to install on Wednesday morning.
We don't even have green tongue flooring down.
Where are you going to put it? In the insulation?
They did drop off the wardrobes and they look amazing.
Look at this. That bed is beautiful. Isn't it gorgeous?
Where's that from? That's from The Block shop.
Look at that, velvet, green velvet-like ruching.
Ruching around the edge.
The mattress is inset and then you've got the...
Oh, there's velvet cushion.
Sit around the outside.
It's a bed fit for, like, a king and queen.
Ooh, I love that. Wow.
I think, in terms of styling,
we've definitely put a lot more effort into this room.
We've got a fireplace. No-one else has a fireplace.
I think it's just a bit more exciting, this room,
than our other rooms.
('6'S TO 9'S' BY BIG WILD PLAYS)
Darren Palmer was the first one through the door today.
Oh!
Yum.
Wow. Whoa!
# I want you to hold me
# Come and lay with me... #
DARREN: This is 2024 style. Yeah.
Next level.
# Set aside your problems with me, baby... #
It's absolutely Courtney and Grant's style.
And it works beautifully with the bathrooms and the bedrooms.
# Ooh, they come together, look we're together... #
Oh! Yum!
Like, oh! It's visceral.
I can feel this room. # You turn my sixes to nines. #
Ooh! Wow.
Shaynna thought the style is quite modern Italian
or, what you like to call, Moderterranean.
It is nothing we've seen before.
Has a very Italian feel to it.
Like, that bed reminds me of a toga.
You know, this is not an easy style to do because it could come across
a bit finicky but it's not trying to match, and I think that's the thing.
It is unique. It's Courtney and Grant.
This is a main bedroom that you actually come down the chute.
Like, they've got that gorgeous little curved ceiling.
They've created a mood. They've got the essence.
And this is nothing we've ever seen before.
And I am absolutely adoring it.
This is THE most marketable room we've seen so far on The Block.
A buyer will walk in here, exactly
like us, just react and think, I have not seen a room like it.
The detail, the planning.
The fact that they can pull this together in the space of a week...
Yeah. ..blows my mind.
SCOTTY: The build quality is insane for a single week,
which is a great shout out to your new builders.
Definitely. Nailed it.
Yeah.
The detail on the craftsmanship, the textured walls.
How they've built the walls out so that
the sheers then go in behind, which frames these windows and the vistas.
It's just at a different level.
These guys are operating in a league of their own.
SHAYNNA: This is what I want to see.
If I'm going to holiday house is something completely different,
something unique.
How much did you want to jump on that bed.
I'm going to sit on this edge here because that's just...
Oh, my god! That's so soft! That is just awesome.
All the kids just sitting there.
'Cause there's nothing worse than the beds with the little
timber on the side and you...
Bash your knees on. ..skin your shins the whole time.
And then Darren spotted what was on the floor next to it.
(LAUGHTER)
Everything in here is excellent except for that.
(PLOP)
There is a reason it is ashamed of itself
and it's facing the naughty corner.
'Cause it's gross and it should face the naughty corner.
COURTNEY: We agree with that point. Perfect.
You can't polish a turbie.
You can put a lid on it. (LAUGHTER)
Mate, I would almost take the one point off and get rid of it.
I do think that that piece of art is
a little bit big for that section of wall.
It's just too high. It's too high.
Yeah.
That section of the room is not nailed.
And I really do not like fake flames in a fire.
This, for me, decreases the elevation within the room because
everything feels so luxurious.
That certainly doesn't.
DARREN: I think aesthetically it does look right, and I think it does
give this purpose to look out these doors,
to have a little sitting nook.
I think it anchors the space really beautifully,
architecturally as well, building this wall out.
So, I'm cool with it.
The judges then walked into your walk-in wardrobe
and the praise kept coming.
(FUNKY MUSIC)
Oh! That palette is just divine. Oh, yeah.
Love the consistency of the stone. The lighting.
We've got real and new timber floors.
The grain in here and the grain in here and the colour of that,
and the colour of that, beautifully sourced.
And matched against this leather look finish is just...
(KISSES)
SHAYNNA: The fact that these sweaters and tops
are pristine, ironed, and placed to perfection.
And having the time to do that is ridiculous.
MARTY: This is a completed main suite,
and the moment you walk in and you look to your right and
you see that bathroom, you look to your left and you see this walk-in,
and then you walk into that bedroom,
I think you're just taken away.
Marty's actually thinking of asking Channel 9 if
he can be a bidder in this auction.
Oh! (LAUGHTER)
I'm in love with this house.
Get your cheque-book out. Yeah.
That's it, well done. BOTH: Thank you.
Thank you.
I like to win. I like to win. It's a competition.
Like, I'm not going to sugarcoat it, we want to win.
We want to win.
(PENGUINS CHIRP)
(FOREBODING MUSIC)
SCOTTY: Welcome back to my HQ on Phillip Island.
We've heard the judges sing praises for Houses One and Two.
Now it's time for the boys in House Three to face the music.
OK. House Three, Ricky and Haydn.
(HAMMERING NOISES)
HAYDN: This week has been something that we thought we were
looking forward to but ended with dream smashed.
RICKY: This week we're doing main bedroom and walk-in robe.
DAN: What's on this wall? All cabinetry.
Cabinetry the whole way? BOTH: Yep.
We've added these pullout mirrors.
I wonder if you buy a full-length mirror that just
stands against the wall.
A full-length mirror is a must.
Today, guys, we're going to be making papier-mache lamp shades.
How thick are we going? Mate, we're not gonna have enough.
Going pretty thin. Are you?
Yeah. I'm going thick.
(LAUGHS)
If you were to put this in front of me and
tell me two fellas had done this, I wouldn't believe you.
And those winners today are Ricky and Haydn.
Oh!
This is cool too. I like this.
And what's that gonna be? A feature?
It's a mirror. It's a mirror?
It's a giant mirror. It is not a mirror.
(LAUGHTER) And what are you gonna put up there?
Stars or something like that or...
What are you doing? The stars are here, mate.
Just going for that real grand sort of look
where you walk into the master bed...
(ANGELS SING) (DING)
Just the perfect holiday resort living space.
We wanted to take a risk and we wanted
to go big to get it, you know, to get the win this week.
And I'm glad we did it.
SCOTTY: The judges walked in and they were immediately impressed.
Wow. Look at that ceiling.
And a Shaynna palm. They've listened.
DARREN: Absolutely appropriate to the coastal location.
MARTY: It feels so holiday.
I think all the choices in here, the bedsides, the lamps,
this mirror, it's all gorgeous.
This, wow. That's the hero of the room.
That is a lot of time and effort and craftsmanship.
I wonder if the time and effort into that feature is the reason why we
don't have sheer curtains hanging.
Oh, properly not, mate, to be honest.
We had a bit of a miss communication with our flooring mob which probably
cost us a few hours.
And if we had that few hours back we probably would have finished.
'Cause you didn't need much more, did you?
No. A couple of hours if that.
Yep.
DARREN: There's some things lacking in here too.
SHAYNNA: I think there's a few things.
The sheers and the blinds aren't here.
I tell you what, A for effort of hiding bits and pieces,
but there's no doona cover on the doona.
There's no sheets on the bed. Look at the pillows.
Exactly. They're just shoved there.
They've just thrown them on.
But the proportion of the bedsides are brilliant.
And the proportion of the bedhead is gorgeous.
Despite the fact the room obviously wasn't finished,
Marty thinks a photo of this room
will look stunning on a Domain listing when it is.
MARTY: A photo from the end of the hall
looking at this room just shows how big this room really is.
And they just need to finish it off.
I wish that I could give them a good score this week,
with a finished room.
I can't.
Because of the craftsmanship. And that comes back to planning.
But in terms of the direction that they're going in,
you've got to commend them.
SHAYNNA: If that stopped them finishing off this,
I'm really happy, because THIS takes it out of the ordinary.
This is a detail that puts them on a level that they haven't done before.
And they've got the winning lamp.
They have the winning lamp as a little bit of personality.
Darren is also disappointed for you both that this room isn't finished.
DARREN: I can see in my imagination what
this looks like resolved and complete,
but I'm disappointed that have to use my imagination to do that.
They thought hopefully the Kingsman wardrobe wouldn't disappoint.
(GROOVY MUSIC)
Oh, this is grand.
Nice big opening. Wow.
So, you get all of this additional storage
that the other floorplan design does not give.
Yeah, you do. Mmm.
And I love these doors. They are glorious.
I do think it's interesting though
that we've got the major steam generating space there,
especially with two showerheads,
I'm assuming there's gonna be a lot of moist, warm air there.
And this is the open section, and this is the part that is protected.
Mmm.
Whilst it makes sense visually to have it more open,
practically, this is one of MY considerations, I think.
How much of that warm air do I want exposed directly to my clothes?
Not much. Mmm.
SHAYNNA: I'm trying to understand why they've put
carpet in here walking straight from the bathroom.
'Cause to me,
coming straight from the bathroom, I would have put timber here.
Timber should definitely still be in here.
I'm a bit concerned at the attention to detail.
Unfinished Symphony this one. Yeah. Yeah.
I feel I feel panic in these rooms. I really do.
I feel panic.
And it's is not just not finishing off in the last bits of sheers.
Like, we've still got a sensor hanging from the ceiling.
We have a wall here that hasn't been painted.
And it's so dirty.
They need to step up in their planning, their organisation,
their attention to detail.
This is a competition, not a game.
That's it, boys.
(APPLAUSE) Well done.
RICKY: We've got what it takes to win a room but, yeah,
just weeks in a row of just being the chumps more or less and,
yeah, it does, it does start taking a toll.
(PENGUINS CHIRP)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
SCOTTY: OK, House Four.
(SLIDING)
This week we really want to finish.
So, we're doing main bedroom and... BOTH: Walk-in robe.
So, do you want that white or Sugi Ban?
It needs to be Shou Sugi Ban.
We're having that all the way across our back wall.
I just know that judges will be off it this week again.
I'm sick of changing and compromising.
Me too. Yeah.
I've been speaking with Damian about
doing sort of more of a metallic gold coffer ceiling.
Yeah. Coffer ceiling?
PRODUCER: Coffered? Coffa?
I think coffered. Coffin.
Hi. Hi.
Welcome to Art Lovers.
It's all visual and I know what I want.
I just have to see it.
('CA PLANE POUR MOI' BY PLASTIC BERTRAND PLAYS)
This is it.
I need to base my room around this.
Whoa! Hello. Hello.
SHELLEY: Whoa! Hello!
Love that. Oh, you do?
Yes, I do. I'm glad to hear it.
I love it. I love that.
Hopefully the judges can appreciate the fact that I'm still daring.
This is my room and my style but...
We'll be playing the penguin if we get close enough.
(MOODY MUSIC)
Our judges walked into this dark and moody room.
(BURST OF POWERFUL MUSIC)
DARREN: Oh, yes they did.
Ahh!
MARTY: Talk about personality.
DARREN: I am so in love with this.
Oh, my gosh. Yum.
We're in a really classy, luxe,
sophisticated main bedroom suite that
could be in any holiday destination.
(HEAVENLY VOICES)
And it feels just right.
Like, yes!
Yeah.
So excited for it.
OK. (QUIET LAUGHTER)
Shaynna, in the first few weeks on The Block was
probably one of your fiercest critics.
SHAYNNA: I am over the moon for them because
I feel like they've met us in the middle.
I really am.
Because I feel like the heaviness is what they wanted, and,
for what we've got on the wall here is just so stunning.
Those little pin lights just to give the detail.
A nod to Brad and your electrician skills there.
(LAUGHTER)
And get this, they all loved the lamp.
They loved the lamp? MIMI: Yes!
(LAUGHTER)
I love that lamp.
It looks like the barnacles on the pier.
Is that... Oh, is that what they made?
That's their papier-mache lamp.
Oh, that's sick!
MARTY: I'm surprised that that's not the winner.
Yeah, right? I love that.
They must have been on drugs.
Marty actually can't understand how you didn't win the challenge.
(LAUGHTER)
Boys. It's 'cause we know art, Scotty.
Yeah. Yep.
(LAUGHTER) And they clearly don't.
No. Absolutely no idea.
I'm loving the scale of everything.
And I just love these chairs. I love the colour.
I love the fact the bed is off centre.
And I kept thinking that in some of the rooms, that,
if someone has a feng shui thing,
because with the bed right in the centre of the opening,
some people might feel uncomfortable.
A lot of buyers value feng shui. You are so correct on that.
Shaynna thinks you've delivered a
room for an elegant man in smoking jacket.
WOMAN: Ooh!
I'm walking in here with the burgundy smoking jacket,
and I've just been to see Tom Ford.
Yeah, it's just all those cues.
It's tailored, the tailored man. OK.
This is what they were aiming for. I am sure of it.
I'm sure this is what they wanted to do from day one,
they just didn't know how to express it,
and they did know how to express it in this home
in this location.
Can we just look up and look at this metallic wallpaper.
You might think that's bold. THAT is so bold.
This wall is the hero but it's also that ceiling.
That ceiling is so unique and risky that it's actually not off-putting.
It's actually going to bring the buyer in and go, well,
this is the house that has that quirkiness to it,
but now they're nailing the materiality.
Yes! (LAUGHTER)
And what I love is that we were so annoyed
at the guest and the kids' rooms not having heating and cooling.
Fans were just OK.
The fact that we've got the Hitachi split system in here,
finally at least we can put that to rest.
This amenity, phenomenal, because this is also extra storage
and an area that was missing from the others.
They had little sections of being able to get ready,
which took away from enjoying the room.
So, these guys are actually allowing
the buyer to enjoy the entire space, which is really unique.
Everything wasn't 100% perfect for Shaynna.
And there's a couple of things that Shaynna would change.
OK. Yeah.
I would bring down those lights.
Utilise one as the bedside lamp, and just have them down.
And I love...
How sexy is it. ..this, OK?
I love how clever that is.
But when I'm laying in bed, I don't want to see the mechanics of it.
So, I actually would make that a solid door and um...
Fluted. I was just about to say fluted.
Fluted, there you go.
Now into the wardrobe.
# I just cannot, just cannot contain this... #
Look at that.
# I just cannot, just cannot contain this... #
It's like walking into a jewellery box.
It just works. They've nailed it.
Yeah.
I like the wallpaper and the ceiling in there.
And I love it in here.
It just looks so opulent and luxurious.
This rug... It's beautiful.
..is such a great inclusion.
The drama of having that Grafico run along the ceiling down the wall
into this rug, yum, yum, yum, yum.
(LAUGHTER) Darren, please!
(LAUGHTER)
SHAYNNA: They've hit their look and feel now.
Creatively, aesthetically, they're on the money.
Yeah!
That's it, Kylie and Brad. Wow.
(APPLAUSE)
Yay!
Look, it's actually nice and they
can finally see where I'm trying to take the whole house.
(PENGUINS CHIRP)
(UP-BEAT MUSIC)
SCOTTY: OK. House Five. Kristian and Mimi.
This week was probably the longest week on The Block.
MIMI: This week we did our main bedroom and walk-in robe.
The winner of week four on The Block and
taking $10,000 worth of Gucci dress and earrings, Kristian and Mimi.
Will you have your Gucci on tomorrow?
Of course. (LAUGHS)
Of course I'm gonna rock the Gucci with the earrings too.
# I'm Gucci, I'm Gucci I'm Gucci, I'm Gucci
# I'm golden
# I'm the finest girl you've ever seen. #
(SONG ENDS ABRUPTLY)
BOTH: Our secret weapon this week is the Porta timber.
Floor-to-ceiling!
OK, so, bedhead along this wall, 3,200.
The king bed in the middle.
Two bedside tables.
Porta timber all the way to the top.
Wow-wee, where does our walk-in robe start?
Well, from there we've got like one, two...
It's like, three metres.
It's big.
So, today I am going to Hafele to collect and claim our prize.
(GASPS) Stunning.
Love... Yeah.
Stunning leather detail on these beautiful timber hangers
from Salice.
$300 coat-hanger.
My bedhead's here.
From Japandi Estate.
Thanks, Steph and Gian.
I believe we've done enough for a win this week.
Another one.
Four from five would be insane.
Just hope the judges agree.
You've won three out of four rooms so far on The Block
so the judges come with pretty high expectations.
Last room of the day.
Look at that ceiling!
How's the rake!
Oh!
# Just keep breathin' and breathin' and breathin' and breathin'... #
SHAYNNA: Whoa!
MARTY: See, not only architecturally is this
house different from the rest, and that's a gift,
but they are delivering on the finish.
DARREN: What the actual hell? (LAUGHS)
Just talk about a high calibre of standard here.
Like, this is the fifth house we've seen where it's not just great,
it's excellent.
Like, this is excellent.
SHAYNNA: I was not expecting this.
This takes my breath away.
It absolutely takes my breath away.
Calm down, Shaynna. (LAUGHTER)
Aw. Hey, it's pretty good.
Bit over the top.
SHAYNNA: This is so calming, it's so beautiful.
That artwork.
It is gobsmackingly beautiful.
MARTY: The waves of the bedhead.
This is original Japandi Estate from Steph and Gian's business.
It's beautiful.
I can see that selling out.
And look at their lamp.
Oh, my goodness. It's like a scene. It's calming.
It's coastal, it's luxurious.
And, again, it's a totally different
personality from everything that we've seen today.
Yeah.
This is by far the most hotel-like room that
we walked into in terms of finesse, calmness, and sophistication.
This really is different.
SHAYNNA: And look at those bedside tables.
Like, I haven't seen them before. They are hot.
DARREN: Those brown colours, this oak ochre palette.
The colour scheme in here, the rust, brown, ochre...
Wow.
Like, hello, velvet.
The Home Pro sheers on the rake, incredible.
All I can look at are those sheers
and the fact that they're on a rake.
And they've been made in this timeframe...
Yeah.
..to that standard, on a rake. Insane.
Like...
Yeah. Incredible.
Everything wasn't 100% perfect.
Darren did think the light switch is way too far from the bed.
That, So far. Well, that's too far.
It's just, look... That's outrageous.
Look, like, darling, can you turn off the light?
You've gotta get out of bed, right? Yeah.
It's OK. I'd fall out of bed.
And why just the one bedside lamp?
Why they don't have a lamp there, I don't know.
MARTY: Asymmetry seems to be really
consistent throughout this season of The Block when it's not practical.
And I don't actually think it looks that good.
Have two bedside lamps.
Form over function and that's just not right.
(CLICKS TONGUE)
Sorry. What?
That was me. He said... I plugged it in and had it on.
And she... I took it out.
..put it in the bathroom.
Oh. Did you?
I did.
But these were minor quibbles.
Because in the wardrobe, they loved it just as much.
# I'm so into you I can barely breathe... #
DARREN: Ooh.
We have this massive walk-in robe.
Like, this doesn't feel like a holiday house, at all.
MARTY: This is a hotel.
I wanna see where Mr Gucci's happening.
(LAUGHS)
Oh, yeah, we've got a Gucci prize in here, right?
# 'Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you... #
Oh, look. I think they look really good.
Oh!
They match this outfit, don't you reckon?
You found one bit of Gucci.
Where's the other?
# I'm Gucci, I'm Gucci, I'm Gucci... #
DARREN: Ooh!
Oh, there you go.
Ooh, that's very theatrical, that one.
I mean, it would suit you better than me.
Well, I think it would, a little mini.
Look at those hangers. Oh, yeah.
That is a luxury detail. Ahh!
Well, that's part of their winnings.
Yes, it is. Yes.
I wonder what else there is. All the inclusions.
They not only found a beautiful Gucci dress and earrings,
but some stunning Hafele inclusions as well.
Oh, look at this. Oh, god, look at this one.
This is beautiful.
Look at all the inserts here.
(GASPS)
Oh, my goodness.
So, that's the $10,000 Hafele? Correct.
How stunning is this wardrobe and the inclusions?
Like, this is SO beautiful.
Kristian and Mimi just rose to the occasion.
They have absolutely adorned this house in the most beautiful way.
This is going to be an absolutely photographable, saleable,
beautiful home, with proportions like no other house on The Block.
This is not just a holiday home,
this isn't just a place to retire to.
They have created a lifestyle in this house.
It absolutely feels so coastal.
It feels warm, it feels inviting, because it says Phillip Island.
I can imagine people wanting to buy this
to eventually live in for the rest of their life.
I really can. It's just stunning. Mmm.
SCOTTY: That's it.
(APPLAUSE) Thank you.
MIMI: That's another bucket list for The Block.
That is a ten.
(PENGUINS CHIRP)
(EXPECTANT MUSIC)
OK. Scores. Here we go.
(EXPECTANT MUSIC CONTINUES)
OK, Maddy and Charlotte.
Darren Palmer...
(DARREN'S VOICE) This is just such a fantastic result for the
constraints they had.
Oh, wow.
8.5.
Courtney and 'Grumps'. (LAUGHS)
Oh! Yum!
Like, oh! It's visceral. I can feel this room.
Good job, guys. Good job.
I want a ten. Want a ten.
Ricky and Haydn.
I can see in my imagination what
this looks like resolved and complete,
and I'm disappointed that I have to use my imagination to do that.
Kylie and Brad.
This is what they were aiming for, I am sure of it.
Oh, my gosh.
Kristian and Mimi.
Talk about a high calibre of standard here.
It's not just great, it's excellent.
OK, Marty Fox.
Maddy and Charlotte.
(MARTY'S VOICE) I'm so excited that they're actually
part of this competition now.
These guys know what they're doing.
Courtney and Grumpy.
The fact that they can pull this together in the space of a week,
blows my mind.
Ricky and Haydn.
I wish that I could give them a good score this week,
with a finished room.
I can't.
Kylie and Brad.
This is the house that has that quirkiness to it but now they're
nailing the materiality.
Kristian and Mimi.
Not only architecturally is this house different from the rest, but
they are delivering on the finish.
Right.
Now, before I go back here...
(EDGY MUSIC)
Kylie and Brad...
No, it's not quite close enough after that one, Scotty.
(SOUND OF PENGUIN CHIRPING) It's not?
No.
Copy that. See you later. Sure? OK.
(CHUCKLES) Done. That is the answer. Final now.
Fingers crossed. Look at me.
SCOTTY: Shaynna Blaze.
Maddy and Charlotte.
(SHAYNNA'S VOICE) We have this huge room but we have really low chairs.
And then we have this huge ceiling but really high lights.
So, look at the proportion.
Courtney and Grumps.
They've created a mood. They've got the essence.
And I am absolutely adoring it.
Ricky and Haydn.
It's hard to tell whether these are
the final decisions of styling if there was more to come.
Kylie and Brad.
I'm over the moon for them.
It feels elegant and sophisticated.
Kristian and Mimi.
I was not expecting this.
This absolutely takes my breath away.
SCOTTY: OK.
The winner of Week Five on The Block,
Main bedroom and Walk-in robe Week
is
by half a point...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
I think it's bad.
It's tie between Two and Five!
Oh!
(APPLAUSE)
So, what happens with a tie?
A tie, you split the ten grand, five grand each. Fantastic.
I'm happy. We definitely are grateful for that five grand.
But I'm a competitor and we wanna win.
We wanna win outright, right? So, yeah.
It's like in the footy when it's full-time and it's a draw and, like,
you haven't lost but you just don't feel like you've won.
SCOTTY: Coming in equal first, Courtney and Grant,
and Kristian and Mimi on 28 points.
Second on 27.5, Kylie and Brad,
who would have won if they'd used the penguin.
Maddy and Charlotte came third on 24.5.
And lucky last, Ricky and Haydn on 21.5.
Kylie and Brad, you could have had it again.
Oh, it is what it is, Scotty.
Geez, offload that penguin, kids.
We're keeping it.
Just get rid of it then win it back.
That's it.
Alright, there's no Ford getaway tomorrow because I've got something
very special in mind for everybody.
It's going to be very exciting.
And I've got some VIP guests turning up to join in.
All will be revealed tomorrow morning,
as will next week's room when you jump onto the Domain hub.
It's gonna be exciting. I'm looking forward to next week.
Get some rest, it's gonna be a big one.
Congratulations. Tied. (APPLAUSE)
Thanks, Scotty. Cheers.
Gotta give you a hug. Alright, hug and walk out.
That's it.
Thanks, guys.
(CHEERFUL MUSIC) (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
VOICEOVER: Australia's favourite week of the Block...
They say kitchens sell houses.
Kitchens sell houses. Kitchens sell houses.
..is here.
I don't like cooking and I don't understand what goes in kitchens.
I bought lots of wine, though!
Every single Blockhead...
You're taking the piss out of me,
so I'm gonna shut you down.
..is turning up the heat.
Why are we always painted as the bad guys?
'Cause we are.
I'm not intimidating, I'm just straight to the point.
That is intimidating.
But what the girls having cooking...
What do the others think of that?
Don't know, don't care.
You know the girls have asked...
..could be a game changer.
If that's true, they'll be hard to beat.
That's the plan, Stan.
Kitchen Week has never been hotter.
SHELLEY: Our room reveal galleries are now open for inspection,
exclusively at The Block website.
