SCOTT CAM: Previously, we said goodbye to Jesse and Paige.
Nothing's more important than your mental health
and it is a big decision
and a brave one that you've both made.
It's been such an experience.
Thank you.
(SOLEMN MUSIC)
And we said hello to Maddy and Charlotte.
So nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
Now, you're Charlotte? Yes.
And you're Maddy? Yes.
Are you nervous? WOMEN: Yes.
We're all the feelings. Well, don't be nervous.
It's just The Block. Yeah. Just The Block.
But it didn't take long for the newbies
to get offside with their inherited builder.
Just talk to me and I'll tell you if we can achieve or if we can't.
Yeah. I don't care what youse want to do.
Just don't (BLEEP)can me on TV
or else I'll just pull the pin and walk off, eh?
And it was a tie for main bedroom week.
The winner of week five on The Block is, by half a point...
(LAUGHS) That's bad.
It's a tie between two and five.
CONTESTANTS: Oh! (APPLAUSE)
Oh, god! Don't!
Tonight, it's a brand-new week.
Argh! We are doing kitchen!
Alright. Week six, kitchen.
This year's charity challenge gets underway.
This is a meeting room.
It's a hangout room, it's a dining room.
There's a bar and a kitchen. It's also a training facility.
We love doing this kind of thing.
We love serving in our community, so this was such a cool experience.
We have a visit from Block royalty.
It's the 'Super Ks'!
(CHEERING) (PEOPLE CALL OUT)
SCOTT: Gone! Gone! (SCREAMING)
And Dan goes head to head with Grant.
You look at authority like it's nothing.
No, I don't. There's a reason why we do this.
And you've disrespected me.
You're a smart man. Yes or no? I'm not playing the game.
Well, there you go.
(ELECTRICS FIZZ, LIGHTNING CRACKS) (PENGUINS BRAY)
It's week six on The Block
and our teams are about to begin the room reno
that will mark the halfway point of the competition.
But for the girls in house one, this will be their first full week
and they've been welcomed in true Block fashion.
WOMAN: Rise and shine!
Oooh, that's very bright. (LAUGHS)
First official week on The Block.
Bright and early at 6:00am.
INTERVIEWER: How are you feeling after your first judging?
Yeah, pretty good.
It's not our best work but maybe they were just being nice to us.
But...
They can see the vision. Yeah.
SCOTT: And today's the first time
the girls will get the chance to check out the competition
at the Domain open for inspections.
First up are the boys in house three,
who didn't finish their main bedroom and walk-in robe in time
and came in last with 21.5 points.
MARTY: 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.
I'm trying to understand why they've put carpet
coming straight from the bathroom.
I would've put timber here.
MADDY: (GASPS) Wow. CHARLOTTE: Whoa.
Wait. This is amazing!
They've done such a good job.
Oh, look at the ceiling. That would've been so hard.
That's so cool. Oh, my gosh.
I think the judges were kind of harsh on them. Yeah.
MIMI: Wow.
KRISTIAN: Oh, boys.
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Absolutely stepping it up.
I'm so upset that they didn't get to finish styling. That's so sad.
GRANT: I feel for them.
They actually would've had a really nice room
if they finished it.
KYLIE: Yeah, they got SO close. Why did they get such bad scores?
This is really coastal.
(COURTNEY GASPS) How good does that look!
I like that. I really like that.
MIMI: Oh... (SCREAMS) KRISTIAN: Oh, love!
This is stunning!
MADDY: I do know what they mean with the carpet
but, like, it's actually quite nice
to feel carpet on your feet, isn't it?
Yeah, but that is from a wet area.
And if you don't have floorboards...
Yeah, I don't quite understand that.
They're assuming three different floors...
It feels nice.
SCOTT: Next up, the teams are heading into house four,
who came in third with 27.5 points.
DARREN: I am so in love with this.
Oh, my gosh. Yum.
I'm walking in here with a burgundy smoking jacket.
I am at Chateau Marmont.
And I've just been to see Tom Ford.
It's tailored. The tailored man.
Tom Ford is a look.
What are they? Tom Jones?
Is that their style now? Tom Jones...
Yeah, I don't know.
Roger Seller, something like that?
Chuck Norris?
MIMI: Oh, this is the make-up bar.
Oh, my god. This is a dream make-up area.
MADDY: Wow. This is stunning. CHARLOTTE: I like.
I like, I like, I like. Absolutely stunning.
RICKY: That's a Tom Jones jacket. # Watch out... #
Tom Jones shirt.
# You might get what you're after... #
COURTNEY: So they've got both sides open.
I would've had maybe some closed.
MIMI: Do you know what they offer as well?
Slide. Glass doors. No, glass doors.
Oh, glass. Yeah, so you can see. Yeah.
Yeah, this is full Tom Jones.
No wonder they're the new Tom Jones stylists.
Alright. Righto.
Tom Jones. Good work.
Well done. (LAUGHS)
INTERVIEWER: It's Tom Ford. Tom Ford.
(MEN LAUGH) Tom Ford.
Who's Tom Ford, mate? Did he play footy for Geelong?
SCOTT: Last night, we had a tie for first place,
so let's see what the teams thought of Courtney and Grant's main bedroom,
which received 28 points.
SHAYNNA: They've created a mood. They've got the essence.
This is nothing we've ever seen before
and I am absolutely adoring it.
MARTY: It's just at a different level.
These guys are operating in a league of their own.
HAYDN: Whoa.
RICKY: God, it smells good in here.
MIMI: Again, open and close those.
(GASPS) What?
Oh, it's to a texture. Oh, my god. I didn't see this.
Oh, my god, I love that! Ow!
KYLIE: Who wants to come in here and do their make-up?
That takes the grandeur away from it.
BRAD: At least they've got one, but. Yeah, true.
MADDY: And the stone... Oh, my goodness.
They have done... Yeah, that's cool.
And they've done it in the bathroom too.
Oh, stunning. Wow.
It smells good. Wow. Wow.
This is literally incredible.
RICKY: Man, you can't even see your head.
HAYDN: That is not full-length there.
No.
It's actually not bad for me
because I'm probably better from, like, the neck down.
(MIMI PANTS EXCITEDLY)
# I love this room! # KRISTIAN: Wow.
This is so good.
I think this definitely deserves a ten.
100,000%. Look at all the intricate details.
RICKY: It's pretty epic, isn't it? HAYDN: Mmm.
They've done well. You can see why it's a winning room.
Yeah.
CHARLOTTE: It looks amazing. Wow. They've done such a good job.
Wow.
I don't know if coming to these things makes me...
More terrifying.
SCOTT: House five Kristian and Mimi also received 28 points
and equal first place.
SHAYNNA: This is so calming. It's so beautiful.
That artwork, it is gobsmackingly beautiful.
COURTNEY: Wow. Oh, my gosh. The bedhead.
(GASPS) That bedhead's nice.
Oh, it's so nice!
KYLIE: Oh, yeah. Good on them.
BRAD: It's the raked ceiling. Yeah. It's the grandeur of it.
And the fact that, like, it's good planning,
like, the Porta to go all the way up like that.
MADDY: Wow. I love the colours. They've done that so well.
She definitely has an eye for style.
RICKY: They're slamming it, these guys.
HAYDN: Mmm. Doing really well.
Phwoar.
Walk-in robe. How good is that! Literally walk in.
KYLIE: Oh, look at this robe, though.
This is the kind of robe I would want.
COURTNEY: These wardrobes are beautiful.
It freaks me out 'cause I'm, like, "Holy moly."
Like... A lot of competition.
Like, how can I even create something
that's on the same, like, level as this?
GRANT: This is unfinished. COURTNEY: Where?
The entire edge of the ceiling isn't done.
It's not cut in.
The doors aren't done. The trims aren't done.
How can we tie with someone when the painting isn't done?
The trims aren't done. The... The...
(BLEEP). The shadow...
The shadow lines are all unfinished.
Grant, we're not judges.
Look at the door. Look at the door, though.
The hinges are a different colour.
I don't get it. The doorstop...
The doorstop's not in.
But we got pulled apart when our doorstop was in the wrong spot.
I'll give it to people when I think their rooms are better
but I just truly feel that this week should've been the ours outright.
INTERVIEWER: I'm gonna quote you on something you said this morning
on open for inspection, Grant.
Yeah. "I've been robbed."
"It sucked. I've been robbed." Sorry, what did I say?
"That room sucked. I've been robbed."
"That room sucked"? Did you say "That room sucked"?
I didn't say "That room sucked."
Yeah. That's the quote. No. That's wrong.
I didn't say "That room sucked." Roll the tape.
Please do.
Please roll the tape.
I'll admit when I've said something
and I'll admit when I haven't said something.
I did not say it sucked.
I believe ours deserved the outright win, just based on the finish.
GRANT: Well, that's a (BLEEP) joke.
That's a crock of (BLEEP). I'll say it. I don't care.
I will say it in front of camera too.
Even without the painting finished, that's a dog-ugly room.
COURTNEY: Like, you know when you just feel
really confident in your styling?
Like, I think our styling was... we nailed it.
SCOTT: Taking over house one halfway through last week's build
was Maddy and Charlotte
and with only three days at their disposal,
they managed to come in fourth on 24.5 points.
Let's just acknowledge how much room...
SHAYNNA: 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.
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.
So, after impressing the judges in their first week,
the rest of the Blockheads now have the chance to see
what they're up against with their new competitors.
How did they get these done in that amount of time?
Like, they started painting at 3:30.
RICKY: They've started really well. HAYDN: Mmm.
It's gonna be interesting to see what they do in a full week.
Room for activities. Everyone's got room for activities in their room.
# Room for activities... #
Very good, girls. Like, there's all this space.
What are they gonna do here?
Interpretive dance.
So much room for activity. So much room for activity.
COURTNEY: I reckon these girls are gonna be some competition, for sure.
If they've smashed this out. They produced this in three days...
Yeah. They will be.
And you can see sort of what they're gonna do.
Yeah. It's not gonna be much fun to verse them.
No.
Not when they've got a full week up their sleeve
and they can create this in three bloody days.
Now that our teams have had a chance to assess
the newest threat in the competition,
it's time for everyone to crack on with this week's room.
This morning, I woke up and jumped on the Domain app.
Do you want to have a guess before I press it?
Kitchen. OK.
(SCREAMS)
We are doing kitchen!
Alright. Week six, kitchen.
Kitchen week is probably the most important.
They say that...
Kitchens sell houses, so...
People will just spend...majority of their time in that space.
Kitchen is the biggest thing in the house.
It's the heart of the home, the kitchen. Yeah.
The heart of the home, they say. Can't have a home without a kitchen.
I could. I just need a microwave.
So, our teams are aware that kitchens sell houses
and this year there's been no expense spared
when it comes to fitting out their space.
Scotty budgeted $12,000 for this week.
That's right, Mimi.
There's 12 grand from the CommBank budget.
So, the $12,000 doesn't account for all the sponsored appliances,
like Kinsman, Cosentino, E&S, which we're, like, so grateful for.
Back in week two,
I sent the teams off to their Kinsman consults at Cosentino
to design their kitchens.
RICKY: This is definitely the type of place I get asked to leave.
Welcome to Cosentino. Thank you.
We're excited to be here.
This could look really impactful... Mmm.
Definitely. Yeah.
They also visited E&S to select their appliances.
Pick whatever you want. Anything?
I've just spoken to the powers that be.
Whatever Asko have... Alright. Let's go crazy.
(LAUGHS) You've got an unlimited budget.
You can get your flexi pad
and what you can do... (MEN LAUGH)
Twist pad here, we just select that and you up the power level.
WOMAN: We have an ABI one-of-a-kind gold sink.
Oh, that is incredible.
Did you have a colour in mind from a design perspective?
I think I do like the...
That one's definitely my favourite of the colours.
We'll take it. (LAUGHTER)
Oh, god.
Mimi is about to design Shrek's kitchen.
# Somebody once told me... #
KRISTIAN: We are upstairs with our kitchen.
We've got a nice long island bench,
then we've got a walk-in pantry with two integrated fridges.
We've got a wall oven. We've got oven cooktop combination.
We've got a rangehood.
Oh, it's a massive kitchen.
COURTNEY: We're gonna have a really long island.
It's gonna be about 4m. Yeah.
And I really want marble to be a bit more of the feature.
WOMAN: OK. So, this week's gonna be a big one.
And especially in our house design,
you walk in the front door and it hits you right in the face.
It's an entertainer's kitchen, you know,
three ovens and built-in coffee machine.
You've got, you know, the Bluetooth induction cooktop, two dishwashers,
double fridge, wine fridge, butler's pantry.
COURTNEY: I think we've thought of everything
in terms of an entertaining kitchen, right?
Yeah. Yeah.
And the colours, I think, will last for long, long time.
What's your overall aesthetic? Dark, moody, texture.
The kitchen is gonna completely show them our entire style in one room,
like, right there.
So it's sort of more of a galley kitchen
and so we're doing a standout piece with the island bench.
We're doing a gold sink and gold tap.
We're planning on doing a mix of different blacks
and then just mixing some softness with a little bit of textured timber
on the back where the rangehood is
so it's nice to actually finally start bringing it all in together
and letting everyone sort of see
where we've been trying to take the home, I guess.
That's a winning piece of stone right there.
Yep.
We've got a grand design that we put together...
Yeah. ..with Kinsman and Cosentino...
and we are ready to deliver. Grand.
We've got a nice, massive 3.8m curved bench
with Porta timber wrapping around.
It's gonna have nice curves to it as well.
It's a plain bench, so nothing on it.
No sink, no cooktop.
Everything's on the back wall.
So, when you're catering,
all the food can be laid out on that whole bench.
All your joinery is coming tomorrow morning.
Yeah.
That's pretty much indicative of what it will be.
OK. That's beautiful.
Getting this kitchen right is super important,
especially being a holiday house... Yeah.
..and it being, like, an open-living concept.
Except that we didn't design it.
SCOTT: That's right.
The girls didn't design the kitchen
because back in week two, previous contestants Jesse and Paige
had their consult with Kinsman.
Do you like that?
Do you know what, I do.
I love it.
Oh, I'm actually just, like, blown away.
MADDY: So, our kitchen will have some cabinets.
Where, I'm not sure.
It will have a sink and a cooktop and an integrated fridge, probably.
CHARLOTTE: And an integrated dishwasher.
I'm really not 100% sure of what is coming.
It's gonna be a surprise to us all.
(PENGUINS BRAY)
You too can get exclusive access to this week's rooms
by heading to Domain's In the Know Hub.
It's the go-to website where every Monday contestants can find my tips
plus all they need to know for another big week of renovations.
Lite n' Easy. Always fresh.
Ready? Ready?
Do I need to bonk you on the head? (LAUGHS)
I'm excited.
'Cause you get to break something? Yeah.
Yeah, we got to pull the first Hipages lever of the series.
Super be ready.
# Run. #
SCOTT: Back in week two, we reintroduced the Hipages lever.
The Hipages lever is back.
This year, the Hipages lever has been assigned to a particular room.
And our Blockheads decided the best way to allocate the rooms
was to pull house numbers out of a hat.
DAN: Leaving it to chance. Wowee.
We're locking in backyard week. We'll go front yard.
Living and dining. Rumpus.
Kitchen. Done.
Of course, I took charge of that and I sledgehammered the glass...
(GLASS BREAKS)
..and pulled the lever.
Done.
Let's go. BRAD: Let's go.
I'll be happy to break them all if we need to.
They can have it but I'll just do the sledgehammering of the glass.
We thought, we'll go an SOS on our mezzanine level at our house.
And Scotty arrived.
I saw that from miles away... (LAUGHS)
..and I came, soon as I saw the signal.
Oh, love it. The signal.
Wow. We've got a very big space down there.
So, are we looking at plastering?
For this week, I think, just help with the plaster.
Plaster. Yeah.
Big area. OK, well, I can post for plasterers.
Pulling in extra plasterers at this point,
just because of the scale of the room.
So I think it's gonna be a massive help if we had a few more people.
But this year, in addition to $10,000 of Hipages tradies,
the teams will be receiving $5,000 cash.
Pulling the Hipages lever, it comes with five grand cash...
Yes. ..to this week's room.
So, what are you gonna do with that?
Something to do with the island bench,
whether it be stools, the pendant.
I like it. You like it?
I do. Good.
OK. I'll go and post. Thank you.
Heaps of money on kitchen week, so we better win.
So, I'm posting Kylie and Brad's plasterer request on Hipages,
the easiest way to connect with trusted tradies.
VOICEOVER: While Scotty books in the job,
let me tell you about Phillip Island.
It's an island...
and that means we need lifesavers,
so that gave my mate Scotty Cam a great idea.
"Rise and shine, Blockheads.
"We have a wonderful chance today to help out our local community."
"Slip on these stylish uniforms..." "Slop on some sunscreen..."
"And slap on a hat."
What, that thing?
KYLIE: Why are your shorts so short?
BRAD: They're probably a bit too big.
(LAUGHS) "See you at Cape Woolamai Beach."
"Excited to see everyone there. Scotty."
This does not look warm enough.
Oh, cute! (LAUGHS)
Do I have to put this on too?
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYS)
(ROCK MUSIC WARPS)
I look like a ballpoint pen.
Well, look at you. You look fantastic.
Welcome to Woolamai Beach.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Now, Shelley sends her apologies. She couldn't make it today.
But we have Keith!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) RICKY: Yeah, Keithy!
Keithy's here! Now, behind me is the Woolamai Surf Club.
Volunteer, non-profit organisation.
They are a fantastic organisation that has performed countless rescues,
saved thousands of lives along the way.
The literal beating heart of the community here. With me is Jason.
Jason is the president of the surf club.
Jase, how can we help?
Well, Scotty, thanks for coming down today.
We'd love it if you can help us out a bit.
As you said, we're a volunteer organisation.
We've been serving the community here at Woolamai for 65 years.
Yes.
Our clubhouse is about 20 years old and needs a bit of TLC.
We'd love it if you could do a few things to help us out,
give the place a little bit of a lift
and make it a better place for our volunteer lifesavers
to patrol from and life-save from.
Mate, not a problem.
Your challenge today is to breathe new life into the main function area
up in the surf club.
Now, there are two areas up there to be done,
so I'm gonna split you into two teams
and to determine the two teams,
you are to pick the strongest swimmer in your group...
It was cold, windy.
The surf was going absolutely ballistic.
I was very concerned that they were asking us to get in the water.
You are to swim out there to that line.
Woolamai Surf Beach, it looks like a giant washing machine...
Mmm.
..with, like, six and a half foot swells.
It's not where you want to be swimming.
No, of course not. You're not swimming out there.
(KYLIE LAUGHS)
We're gonna play a game of poison ball...
I love poison ball. ..to see who wins...
and you will pick your team and pick your area as well.
But wait on, Scotty. The teams won't be even.
I know. I'm glad you said that, Keith.
The teams will not be even.
But I've thought of that and I've got a plan.
(BLOWS WHISTLE)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
MIMI: Who's that? Argh!
Kyal and Kara. Stop it!
Kyal and Kara.
Kyal and Kara rocked up on...
RICKY: It was like... It was like...
Seeing the boat... Beginning of 'Baywatch'.
Yeah. I could hear the tunes in my head.
Like... # I'll be ready... #
And they were just, like, slow-mo'ing down the beach.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) ('BAYWATCH' THEME PLAYS)
MIMI: Oh, my god!
Kyal and Kara were a standout in their season back in 2014.
DARREN: My mind is just blown.
You did the best room ever in any elimination.
(KARA SQUEALS)
With a perfect score, the Super Ks!
(APPLAUSE)
Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Super Ks!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Hey, Kyal and Kara, thanks so much for coming down here.
Welcome back to The Block.
And thanks for coming to help out the Blockheads
in this very, very important challenge.
Thanks so much for having us, guys. That was fun.
The winner of this game will earn the help of All-Stars Kyal and Kara.
They will also choose their teammates
and choose which side of the surf club they work on.
Each team will get a budget of $5,000.
The team that does the best area and wins this challenge
will win a massive $10,000 cash from CommBank.
And the kicker is that the team that's got Kyal and Kara
doesn't have to share the money with them.
(RICKY LAUGHS) WOMAN: Oh!
Are you ready to fight for Kyal and Kara?
MAN: Hell, yeah. MIMI: Yeah!
Alright, poison ball it is. Let's go!
RICKY: What's the rules of poison ball?
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Run!
(PEOPLE EXCLAIM AND SQUEAL)
Right. There you go. Go, go, go.
Gone. Gone.
(SCREAMS)
Gone!
Maddy's here.
Plenty of girls.
KRISTIAN: Mimi...
(LAUGHS)
Throw it from there, mate. Get them.
Oh!
Ricky!
MIMI: (SQUEALS) Yoo-hoo!
Argh! Argh!
You're out.
(SCREAMS)
Oh, gone! Gone!
(SCREAMS)
(LAUGHS) Is that allowed?
(LAUGHS) Out. I'm not.
Why? It was above the waist.
Above the waist doesn't count.
Good job! GRANT: Well done, Courtney!
COURTNEY: Oh, no!
I was going so good!
Go. Throw, throw, throw.
Argh! Argh!
(SQUEALS)
Oh!
(PEOPLE EXCLAIM)
See, that's tactics.
ONLOOKERS: Oh!
Victory! Victory! (APPLAUSE)
WOMAN: Nice, Hayd.
Luckily, Haydn can dodge wrenches.
'Cause I can't. (BOTH LAUGH)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Uh, I won, of course.
It came down to the last two. Brad got absolutely nailed.
It was a cracking shot. It was a belter.
I think it was the same bloke too that got you.
Yeah, he was a sniper. Yeah.
If he's is good at lifesaving as what he is throwing a dodgeball,
wow, that dude can save lives.
Righto, fellas, well done. Congratulations.
You have won the Super Ks. Yes.
Come on. Team Ricky and Haydn.
And you have one more choice for a team member.
Who's it gonna be? Brad and Kylie.
Whoo! Brad and Kylie.
OK, that is Team Ricky and Haydn.
And the other team. (LAUGHTER)
Let's go, the other team!
Off you go. Whoo!
MAN: No worries. (LAUGHS)
(PENGUINS BRAY)
SCOTT: It's Monday afternoon,
which means the Blockheads' build teams
are busy getting their subfloors down.
It's always a great day when there's a challenge on.
There's no contestants here.
'Cause things happen quick.
Not only do Nine In Six builders get so much done
but the contestants' builders get so much done.
And everyone's had an epic day.
There's floors going down everywhere.
Well, except for house three.
Normally, you start from the ground and work yourself up.
But Duncan's had this genius idea he's gonna start from the top
and work down,
so he's actually plastered his ceiling on a Monday
and then he's gonna do the floor Tuesday
in hope that come Wednesday
the boys can start spraying all of their ceiling and walls
before joinery.
Genius idea if it pays off.
Whilst it's full steam ahead at the block,
it's time for the teams to get stuck into their challenge
at the Woolamai Surf Lifesaving Club.
You've gotta think about the functionality of this space, OK?
This is a meeting room, it's a hangout room, it's a dining room.
There's a bar and a kitchen.
It's also a training facility
where young people are taught how to be lifesavers.
At the same time that we're bringing functionality,
we want to keep the spirit and the culture that's existing in the club.
Let's call it contemporary casual.
As you can see, I have divvied room up
with my line all the way through here.
You guys have got the choice.
Ricky and Haydn, which side do you want?
Mate...
Yeah, we're definitely taking the side with the bar, mate.
Yep. (LAUGHTER)
If anyone can organise the best place for Sunday drinks, it's us.
Copy that.
You've got this side, you guys have got that side.
It's a great cause. Put your heart and soul into it.
Good luck.
So, with the help of the Super Ks and Kylie and Brad,
Ricky and Haydn's team will take on the island side of the surf club,
which includes the dining area and the all-important bar.
The other team will take on the ocean side,
which includes the function space and lounge area.
While the Blockheads get stuck in,
our friends from CommBank are providing a team
to spruce up the bunk rooms.
I'll tackle the kitchen
and Keith and the boys from Nine In Six
will make-over the outdoor barbecue area.
KYAL: I like this. We've got the bar.
We've got the fridge.
We're half-stocked full of drinks already.
We know bars.
Generally, we spend most of our time on one side of them, though,
so it will be interesting to be on the other side.
The secret weapon is Kyal and Kara.
Like, Kyal's a weapon at building
and Kara's a superstar stylist and she had plenty of ideas...
I wonder if you could build in, like, a bench seat along here.
Maybe we can find out if we can build something in.
KYLIE: Yeah.
Then we can style it with cushions and...
Yeah.
Design-wise, it's just trying to stick with
more of a coastal look and bring a bit more mood into the club
and sort of dark blues and adding a lot more colour into the area,
lighting and fans and bringing the bar to life.
Like, a nice benchtop, some really phenomenal stools.
Feeling confident. Yeah, feeling good.
Very confident. Yep.
Confident with a K. We've got the K team.
Yeah. Not the A team.
You're making me feel all fuzzy, guys.
(ALL LAUGH)
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYS)
COURTNEY: Our area is function room and the lounge area.
Chillout area here.
This could be our feature wall.
INTERVIEWER: What are your initial thoughts?
Paint. We want to paint tonight.
COURTNEY: The plan is to bring a bit more of the club inside.
Incorporate the history, some memorabilia out of the club
and that's a big thing we wanted to incorporate into our site.
The space is nice and open.
We're building, like, a lounging area.
Maybe some nice sheers, you know. You never know.
Maybe we can call up some favours from our friends.
SCOTT: To help our teams deliver a reno the surf club truly deserves,
I've organised some help from our amazing friends at Freedom, Schots,
Beacon and Big Ass Fans.
Our teams will also be selecting some new roller blinds and sheer curtains
by the team at HomePro by DIY Blinds.
What's that one? Linen.
You know I love a linen. Yeah. (LAUGHS)
And is this gonna be, like, hard-wearing?
Hard-wearing. Great for this area.
Very durable. Kumo recycled jacket.
Let's do it.
# Together Together
# We're stronger as one... #
We've got all our planning locked in.
Yeah, we're painting tomorrow night.
Yep. Yep.
Go, team. Go, team.
Alright.
(CHEERING)
Yes! That didn't work out well at all.
G'day, gang.
Can I introduce the man himself, as I live and breathe, Christian Cole.
RICKY: Welcome, mate. (LAUGHTER, CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
How are you? How are you?
Good, how are you? Hey, mate.
Long time no see. Good to see you.
And, Christian, this is Ricky.
Ricky. Thanks, mate.
Jeez, Ricky. What's going on there? I'm about to put me safety boots on.
Oh, mate. I love those.
So, the man himself, probably the greatest timber man I've ever met.
Kinsman are gonna do the cabinetry underneath, correct?
Correct. We need a benchtop, mate.
Like, a magnificent standout. A bit of wow factor.
I've got some old recycled timber here.
It'll be a fair bit lighter than that.
I think it'll look really good. Awesome, mate.
How long have I got?
KYAL: We'll need it installed Wednesday evening.
Today's Monday. Righto. Yeah.
Alright. Lucky I've got some quick-drying glue.
Yeah. He has. (LAUGHTER)
KYAL: We just met Christian Cole,
so he's taken charge of that benchtop.
Kinsman cabinetry going in. Yeah.
Mr Cabinets are gonna do us a nice entertainment area.
We've got some lovely sheers and some roller blinds going in
to just enhance the visual a little bit more.
And we're gonna use some of Kyal's skills
to build us a nice bench seat... That's it.
It's gonna run along the back wall. Gotta take advantage when we can.
So, can we start drawing up,
work out what we want, pick some finishes and...
Yep. ..hit the ground running. Cool.
Here, can you hold the other side of this?
Meanwhile, on the other team, sisters Maddy and Charlotte
are getting right into the charity spirit.
We love doing this kind of thing.
We love serving in our community, so this was such a cool experience.
And to know that we could have such an impact
on the space that they spend so much time...
And probably for future years. For, like, years and years to come.
Like, so many more surf lifesavers
will be coming through this space as well...
Yeah. ..so that was really...
Yeah, we loved it.
(PENGUINS BRAY)
SCOTT: Now, our regular viewers will be aware
that every week, we treat our winners to a night away from the block,
a night at the finest of locations,
with the finest foods and, of course, the finest company.
And why should that be any different for last week's joint winners,
Courtney and Grant and Kristian and Mimi?
INTERVIEWER: The winners' dinner. Whoo-hoo!
You got to go away with Scotty! Oh, no, you didn't.
We didn't have a winners' dinner.
We feel like that would've been a really good winners' dinner too.
Oh... And we would've loved to go away with Mimi and Kristian.
MIMI: Because we drew, we had to cook dinner.
I don't know how that's a prize.
Well, let's be fair. You didn't just get to cook.
You also got to shop for said dinner...
Lamb, garlic, tomato.
Is that enough?
We're feeding a lot of people. Maybe get two.
I reckon we get another leg of lamb. I want cutlets.
No.
..and share said dinner with all your fellow Blockheads.
Dinner is served!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Mimi and Grant came out with... That's right.
..a big feed for the table.
Somehow, they managed to get to find the time to cook us a massive feast
on the same day we were doing a challenge.
Ready? Go.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
That's so good!
(BLEEP). SCOTT: OK.
So, the wait staff might be a bit substandard
but we didn't skimp on the special guests.
HAYDN: Kyal and Kara are our special guests.
Yeah, I managed to get a seat next to Kara,
so I'm pretty excited about this dinner.
We actually have a present for you guys.
MIMI: What?
But I have to give it to two people.
KYLIE: Oh, yeah, divvy.
We'll share it.
I'll let them touch it.
5,000 for us and 5,000 for you guys.
(LAUGHS) GRANT: Yay. Thank you.
The Super Ks are phenomenal.
Like, they're lovely, they're down to earth.
I swear, they've gone back in time,
so how they haven't aged, I have no idea.
They're actually sitting right in front of their picture on the wall
and they look better now than what they did then.
It's actually crazy.
The best part of...advice I could give you guys is when you do judging
and you get your feedback from the judges...
Like, we had a couple of, like, pretty low weeks
where we got pretty belted around
and you just gotta take those moments as constructive criticism.
Yep. You know what I mean?
If you can, like, learn from that
and read between the lines of what they're actually telling you...
Yeah.
..like, you can use that and you can grow from that...
Yeah.
..and make your rooms, like, heaps better.
KARA: When you're in it, you're so emotional.
Like, I remember getting feedback
and being, like, "I don't agree with that."
Yeah.
And then I look back at the photos
and I'm, like, "Yeah, I see what they were saying."
GRANT: Yeah.
But because you're in it you're, like, too invested.
COURTNEY: It's your whole life.
Thank you for joining us for our Winners and Grinners dinner...
Cheers. Courtney and Grant.
Cheers, guys. Thank you.
Thanks, guys. Cheers, guys.
MIMI: And thanks for the cash.
(LAUGHTER)
SCOTT: It's day two of kitchen week
and for someone, it's a very special day.
It was my birthday on Tuesday, so that was fun, on The Block.
I will never forget it.
I'm just on the MyMacca's app at the moment
and I'm thinking of getting 25 hash browns,
'cause she's turning 25
and probably just a few coffees for us and the boys.
Honestly, it was a non-event. Actually, you guys made it an event.
I've got you a birthday present. Oh, did you now?
Happy birthday. Oh, thanks.
I bought you 25 hash browns for your 25th birthday.
Oh, wow!
It'll be a nice memory forever,
knowing that, like, I had my 25th birthday on The Block.
A quarter-life crisis on The Block. (LAUGHS)
Yeah, this is my quarter-life crisis.
You can have as many as you want. There's 25.
25?
A handful of people did, like, come up and say happy birthday
but then a handful of people didn't but, you know, that's OK.
Like, I don't expect them to remember. (LAUGHS)
Good morning, Australia. You're with Mimi and Courtney.
(OCKER VOICE) Mimi and Courtney.
Yeah, I definitely think it's a close-knit group
and there's a part of me that sometimes feels like
we're not part of that.
It's one of those things where you're, like,
"Oh, like, how long do we play catch-up
"before either they let us in or, you know,
"we just kind of are gonna do our own journey,"
which I don't want to do.
Like, I want to be a part of, you know...
MIMI: House one, the girls.
I feel like I need more depth and drama in their personality.
Eh!
That cheeky...
MAN: I'd been putting in a (BLEEP).
I'm a villain. WOMAN: No, you're not.
INTERVIEWER: So, what do you think about Maddy and Charlotte?
Charlotte and Maddy are babies. They're little itty-bitty babies.
What do you think about Maddy and Charlotte, Brad?
Who?
No, I've just got no opinion on them.
I think they just... They're there. They're in house one.
I still look at it like it's Paige and Jesse's place.
I have made it clear to the girls
that I don't like being touched, so stop touching me.
(LAUGHS) INTERVIEWER: Who touches you?
They, like, play with my hair and they're, like, going like this.
I'm, like, "Just letting you know, I don't like being touched."
And they're, like, "Oh, sorry."
Like, argh!
I get nightmares.
Huh!
With kitchen week underway,
some of the teams are staying on site,
while others are hitting the road to shop for the challenge.
See you when we get back. WOMAN: Have a nice road trip.
Yep. Thank you.
We always do.
We've gotta go to Schots, we'll go to Beacon.
Freedom... And girls not coming with you?
No. The girls are going to stay here on site.
Do we want to have a meeting about, like, the layout
or are you kind of just gonna run with it and see what you can find?
We will run... We'll have a look and then we'll send some options.
OK. Yep.
Only if you're OK with that, because I'm so happy to come...
Mm-hm. ..but whatever works.
Yep. OK.
Awesome.
I'm choosing to believe that that was them being kind
and not not wanting me to be there.
Only if you guys are sure, because I'm so happy to come with you.
Totally fine. I'm gonna smash it out...
Uh-huh. ..and then...
I've gotta stay here for the first bit
but then we'll be painting tonight.
The dream team here.
We actually get a lot done when we shop together.
We've gotta be quick. In and out.
So, whilst Maddy stays on site, Courtney and Mimi hit the shops.
Schots, Schots.
It's so practical.
Does this spin? Please tell me... Yes!
Look at these ones! Love this colour.
I love that. Love that.
Alright, so let's do three tables and let's do 15 chairs.
Across town, Kylie and Haydn are also shopping for the challenge.
How many cushions did you say you needed again?
16. 16? OK.
That one's good. Yeah. And this one here.
This is cute. Take more.
Yeah, yeah. (LAUGHS)
This whole wall, really.
Like, this one, this one. Yeah. Everything's going.
Jump. Oh, you did.
I was, like, "Don't you dare knock the lamp down."
Yew! Yes. Let's do it.
To save time shopping in store,
Kylie has called ahead and placed her order at Beacon.
Oh, look. Car service.
Look at this.
HAYDN: Car service. How good is that!
Oh, yes! Beautiful.
Only I get this kind of service. I know.
Shall we stop for drinks, then?
(BOTH LAUGH) That would make it worth it.
(BOTH LAUGH)
(PENGUINS BRAY)
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS) (BEEPING)
SCOTT: Kitchen week is well underway
and all the features that our Blockheads selected back in week two
are arriving thick and fast.
The beginning of the week was pretty hectic
because we were trying to decode what had already been ordered.
I think the kitchen will hopefully come out...
Yeah, just a little bit. Give us enough room.
And then potentially... Oooh, hello! ABI.
There you go. Hi.
Is this a tap? I hope we like it.
It's more than just a tap. Well, we didn't even pick this out.
We didn't know the floorboard selection,
I didn't know the colour of the cabinets,
I didn't know the colour of the sink,
I didn't know what tapware until the kitchen actually just rocked up.
And I was, like, "Ah!"
I'm hoping it's like an antique...
Similar to the door handle.
Oh. Oh, OK.
That's not what I was... OK. That's brushed nickel.
That's not what I was thinking.
But... That's OK.
..it's beautiful. That's really nice stuff, though.
Is it too late to change it to a different colour?
I think we can work something out, yeah.
That's good. I mean, this is beautiful.
But I'm pretty sure the handles of our kitchen is, like,
an antiquey... Brushy...
..kind of colour.
I can show you the wardrobe 'cause I think they're the same.
The girls don't have much chance to change things
but when they do have an opportunity, they take it.
We wanted to move a little bit away from the modern colonial,
which is the tap that they had and which had been delivered to us.
We'd love to get a tap that kind of looks like our handles.
It has to change somehow.
OK. So this is what we're kind of working with.
Like... OK. So an aged brass?
Aged brass kind of vibe.
These are the same handles that are going on the kitchen.
Yep.
So I think having, like, a brushed nickel against that
is not gonna be it.
We've got a brushed brass. It's a bit brighter.
Yeah. It's not too far off this.
Yeah.
It s something we've got in the pipeline but not...
And there's no way you can push that?
No. Are you sure?
Is there no-one you can talk to above...
Samples? ..that can...
I can try. OK.
Well, if you could get us, like, a sample...
I can find out. I can definitely find out.
..of two of them, that would be absolutely amazing.
I can find out. Perfect.
Definitely find out. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Over at the Woolamai Surf Lifesaving Club...
Yew!
..the Super Ks are right back into the thick of it
and alongside their team,
they're well on their way to transforming the surf club.
# When I come around... # Beautiful.
RICKY: We've been busy today.
Me and Kyal have been doing our DIY bench seat down below,
so that was a bit of fun.
Extra seating, bit of storage.
Storage underneath. Yep.
We've got a lift-up lid... Yep.
..so the guys can come in and put all that stuff underneath.
We've got a backrest that we're gonna make too.
So, yeah, she's coming together.
Budgie smugglers in here.
Goggles in this one.
Goggles. Yeah. (MEN LAUGH)
So, what's left?
We've gotta finish doing the backrests for the bench seat
and then obviously install them.
We've gotta finish painting probably before we put the bench seats in.
Still got a bar to put together. The kitchen's gotta come together.
Kinsman are putting their bits together,
so there's still plenty to do.
So it looks like our Blockheads are ripping into their renos.
(CRICKETS CHIRP)
Well, half of the Blockheads.
We're actually the only ones here.
I don't know if the other team's thrown the towel in or...
I don't know what the other team is up to.
That's... That's not our problem.
KEITH: They should be here right now.
The other team, yeah, there's crickets going on over there.
Crickets?
SCOTT: Back at the block,
the other teams are keeping busy on this week's kitchens
and according to Foredan, next week's rooms as well.
You don't need any plaster? No.
They got too much, did they? Way too much.
Now, the girls didn't get any more plaster this week, did they?
Jesse ordered last week but the week before, I ordered
and now there's three or four extra sheets.
But then, yeah, there was (BLEEP) extra this week, so...
And it seems as though house two
have also overordered on their gyprock this week.
It is an awful lot of plaster, isn't it?
What's going on? Like, why have we overordered?
That's what...
The whole...
The reason is we don't overorder... is for this reason right now.
Yeah. I get it.
Everyone else has been doing it... Yep.
..and now you've advanced for another week.
Sorry?
Now you've advanced by having plaster here early...
Yeah. ..for another week.
Basically, he thinks that we are cheating
or putting ourselves at an unfair advantage
'cause we accidentally overordered on some gyprock this week.
I just got the measurements off Sam, you know,
so it might have been a mistake.
But did you order it? Yeah, I ordered it but I'm not...
I'm not a plasterer, so I don't know...
But it's your job, you know.
You've ordered 40-something sheets for...
Yeah. ..one, two, three, four walls.
It's not like I've done every week either.
It's not. But you know.
If you do four walls, you don't need 40 sheets.
Yeah, yeah. You know that.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Yeah, I mean, he said 42 sheets. It's not quite 42 but anyway...
I'm gonna have to speak to Scotty
and there's gonna have to be consequences next week.
I can't shut you down or anything this week
'cause I need Kinsman in there, I need floors...
Mm-hm.
..but the following week, there's gonna be consequences.
What for? I don't get it. For overordering.
It's cheating. You've overordered for next week.
We haven't ordered for next week.
Oh, that there, that's for next week, I can tell.
Look at that.
And also, did they get consequences...
They didn't order that. That was the other contestants.
Everyone else is... I've seen... Whoever else has got extra...
That's four times the amount.
No, as I said, it was accidental in terms of ordering this week.
Yeah.
There's gonna be consequences next week.
Of course there is.
SCOTT: Dan's right.
Thou shalt not order materials in excess of current week's needs.
In other words, you can't store anything on site for future weeks.
If that's the case, if we're gonna be punished,
do you mind if we go for a wander and see who has more...
I'm going now. No, I'll come with you.
And we'll go... No, that's alright. That's my job.
We'll punish everybody, 'cause I know...
I want you to get all that inside, mate.
Yeah, yeah. No, I will.
But I know that everybody else stacks plaster...
That's my job. I'll go around and do that.
You just worry about you. I'll worry about everyone else.
No, all I'm saying is... That's alright.
..I know everybody else has been stacking plaster
for the last five weeks. I'll go and check it now.
Nobody got penalised for that.
They haven't ordered four times the amount...
After I spoke to you on Saturday,
when you got something else delivered...
Yeah. You've neglected me...
Yeah. ..and now you've overordered again
after I asked you about the furniture.
So you're taking the piss out of me. How am I taking the piss?
So I'm gonna shut you down.
Please explain how I'm taking the piss.
Because I told you the other day, don't pre-order.
About the furniture. About anything.
Yeah, you pre-ordered again right in front of me.
We've missed out on two... No. No. No, mate.
You're taking the piss.
You look at authority like it's nothing.
No, I don't. There's a reason why we do this.
And you've disrespected me by overordering again.
How have I looked at authority like it's nothing?
Because I told you on Saturday, don't overorder.
Yeah, you did... And what have you done?
You didn't tell me about the furniture.
And what have you done? You've overordered, yes?
No, we didn't overorder. Yes or no? It's an error.
Yeah, it was an error... You've overordered - yes or no?
It's an error that we've overordered.
You spoke about pre-ordering furniture,
nothing about overordering of...
No, I said don't overorder for future weeks.
It's exactly what you've done.
So, yes, I'm annoyed. I'm actually really pissed off about it, yeah.
So I'm going around checking now
and finding out what everyone else has done.
OK. OK?
When have I disrespected authority?
By pre-ordering after I told you on Saturday not to.
We spoke about the furniture, Dan. It's the same thing.
Don't overorder. We don't have space on the job...
Yeah. ..for you to keep storing things.
Yeah, OK. The furniture was one thing.
Yeah. Now you've done it with plaster.
Yeah. OK?
As well as everybody else... You're a smart man.
Don't try and play the game. I'm not playing the game.
You know. I'm not playing the game.
And you know when you order 42 sheets, you're overordering.
You're a smart man. Yes or no? I'm not playing the game.
Well, there you go.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Kristian. KRISTIAN: Yeah.
This plaster here... Yeah.
..that's just for this room?
No, I think it was an overorder.
How much? Oh, a little bit.
Why? Because you couldn't be bothered ringing and checking?
No, it wasn't that I couldn't be bothered.
It was that yesterday morning we had open for inspections...
As everyone else does. Yeah...
You're not the only ones that have that.
What's changed since week one when we've spoke about this?
Why does all of a sudden everyone think they can overorder?
What's changed from now and then?
It wasn't an overorder. But you just admitted it.
You told me you overordered.
No, it was an overorder obviously accidentally.
Now we've got extra sheets everywhere.
They're gonna get damaged, probably gonna get thrown out.
Disrespect to CSR, disrespect to us on site.
We've given instructions... There was no disrespect.
I can't this week give you any penalties...
Yep.
..'cause I need to get Kinsman in and floors. OK.
But, yeah, there's gonna be consequences next week.
OK.
Don't overorder. Yep.
It was an honest mistake.
I don't care. No stress.
I've just had to barrel someone else...
Yeah. ..and they alerted me to come here.
Ah! Little cheeky dogs!
No idea. I would not have a clue who told Dan.
(ELECTRICS FIZZ, LIGHTNING CRACKS) (PENGUINS BRAY)
SCOTT: Today is Truecore Tuesday
but the boys' builder Duncan has given today a whole new meaning.
Remember, yesterday Duncan had the cunning idea
to get the roof plastered while everyone else was doing their floors,
which would allow the boys to get painting early once the floors go in.
Well, Dunc's next stage of that cunning idea is about to be executed.
Dunc has a bit of a new plan for this week.
So, it's a big space
and the kitchen-dining that are joined onto each other
have a large section of subfloor
and Dunc's plan is to build that subfloor out of steel
by Truecore
because Truecore's making steel frames on site, which is all free.
So, we believe it's gonna save us probably around 8 to 10K
in materials in that space alone,
so it's a huge play by Dunc.
Yesterday, the boys had a meeting with Peter from Truecore
to understand how a Truecore subfloor works.
So, we're gonna basically run you a great big line like this of joists,
which will just mean you get that packing to a level, right,
because your floor's all over the shop.
If you get that level for us,
we'll come along, we'll put joists in and you're done.
We'll plan for the whole area... Yeah.
..to make the whole area for you. Yeah, perfect.
So, the boys have got 105 square metres of subfloor
in this open-plan space
and building the subfloor out of Truecore
will bring down their spending significantly this week.
DUNCAN: This is it.
This is the Truecore subfloor
and look - look how straight it's gonna be.
I want to try and do the best for the boys.
They're on a great challenge.
And while they're out,
we just want to help them so they finish this week.
But put it this way.
I think we've given them every chance and every possibility
that we're capable of
for them to finish this week and hopefully get a win.
The sheer scale of The Block is difficult for anyone
but imagine being the first team ever to start The Block in week five.
At home, the sisters also do accounting work
so they're meeting with Jo to get some financial planning advice.
I know you guys have lots of information coming at you
but I'm hoping to make things really easy for you.
I'm a huge advocate of Xero it's really simple to use
and I think it'll really help you
get your head around where your budget is,
where all your money's sitting really quickly.
In Xero, your bank transactions
are automatically loaded into the software,
so you'll see all your ins and outs coming through really easily.
MADDY: Mm-hm. Last week, you guys had Zak in...
Yeah.
..so you just have to add Zak in and categorise it to an account
and then you add the total in and hit 'done'.
It's so simple to use, you won't have any dramas
but if you do you need something, just let me know.
Perfect. Thanks so much. No worries at all.
For our contestants, their whole life becomes The Block,
including their birthdays.
So, it was Tuesday night, it was Madeline's birthday
and we were, like, painting party.
How great. Who wouldn't want a painting party on their birthday?
How are we actually gonna finish this project?
We need to do a six-hour night tomorrow night for all of us
to get the painting done and done properly.
Yeah. So that's a big day. Yep.
So, Tuesday, around 6:00 or 7:00, we were, like,
"What's the go, everyone?"
And everyone was, like, "I'm really busy doing insulation."
And the girls had been shopping all day, so they were napping, I think.
Yeah, they were having a nap. And I was, like, "What's a nap?
"Is it an hour? Is it ten hours?"
"Or are you waking up tomorrow morning?"
Like, I don't know what are nap is.
Anyway, they were napping, so we didn't have contact with them.
And then it just kept getting pushed back and back
and maybe around 10:00 or 11:00, don't even remember the time,
Kristian made the call that they were too tired to go
and we'll try again tomorrow.
Alright. Well, yeah, (BLEEP) it.
Let's just... Let's just bail it.
MIMI: (ON PHONE) OK. Yeah. OK, let's just re...
We'll regroup tomorrow. I mean... We'll regroup tomorrow.
It should be a challenge week
but we're gonna do it in one and a half days. (LAUGHS)
INTERVIEWER: No-one at all on Tuesday?
No-one went to the challenge on Tuesday.
No-one at all? No.
Yeah, I made the decision to manage my time,
go to the challenge a little later in the week
and stay on site on the Tuesday
because otherwise we would've received a time penalty
if we weren't ready for flooring and kitchens on Wednesday morning.
Your build team couldn't have handled that by themselves
while you were at the challenge?
No. Definitely not. Not on that Tuesday.
We allocated a couple of late nights there later on in the week
to go to the challenge.
Captioned by AI-Media ai-media.tv
SCOTT: Tomorrow night, at the challenge,
Foreman Keith reaches his limit.
We've got a day and a half before reveal.
