SCOTTY: 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.
And we said hello to Maddy and Charlotte.
# Fate has brought us here. # (SQUEALS)
Are you nervous? Yes.
Yeah, we're all the feelings.
Well, don't be nervous. It's just The Block.
BOTH: Just The Block.
And for our newbies, it's been a case of pot to the frying pan.
(MIMI SQUEALS)
We are doing kitchens.
They say kitchens sell houses.
It's, like, such a big week.
Custodians of the penguin Kylie and Brad...
You don't want to play it? No, thank you.
No?
..would've won either week had they chosen to play it.
Nuh, it's not quite close enough, Scotty.
You sure?
I'm taking it home. We're not actually ever gonna use it.
And twice now...
What the...
..fudge is this?
..best mates Ricky and Haydn have failed to complete their rooms.
Unfinished symphony, this one. Yeah.
This is a competition, not a game.
Five weeks in a row of just bein' the chumps, more or less.
It does start taking a toll.
Tonight, everyone's got to finish the heart of their home.
I've been painting this thing for, like, two days, mate, seriously.
Never felt so stressed in my life.
And the results are amazing.
(SHAYNNA CHORTLES)
Whoa!
Like, holy sh...
How's that for a feature?
This is unreal!
This is perfection.
I've never seen anything like this.
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Wow.
Kylie and Brad's penguin is in play yet again.
Don't play the penguin.
I'm playing him. You're not.
If we get in the spot, we're playing him.
No.
Is anyone loving him tonight?
(RACING ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)
And I have a potential Block-winning surprise announcement.
Oh.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(PENGUINS CHIRP)
(PEACEFUL MUSIC)
Kitchen Week's massive.
It's definitely the heart of the home.
Yeah, if you've got a beautiful kitchen,
it's a big plus when you go to sell the house.
They say that kitchens sell houses
so you've gotta make sure it's perfect.
People will just spend the majority of their time in that space,
and so, if you get that wrong, you're screwed.
Yikes.
Saturday is a workday on the Block
that begins with another important pre-start meeting
which requires one person from each team to attend.
(WHIMSICAL MUSIC)
Good morning. Oh, hey, girl.
Hey. You've got, like... Is your hair in a bun?
Yeah.
It's like a little Teletubby. I know!
Morning, all.
Morning. Morning.
As far as high-risk activities today, it's pretty low.
Please don't think that Saturdays are a day where you can slack off
with hi-vis and all the other stuff. (VOICE FADES)
(SOFT, MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)
What's happening? PRODUCER: Where've you been?
Uh... I've been in bed.
Where's H been? He's still in bed.
(SNORING)
Have a good day. Thank you.
See ya.
Is that it?
Look at him run!
Kristian!
House 3 did not happen to have a contestant present at pre-start...
House 3, the boys.
So, I'd like to see how Officer Dan handles their punishment this week
for missing something so important as to a safety talk each morning,
which is vital to the running of this site.
Well, stand by.
You will certainly see how Dan's going to handle it.
Last night, we did a late-night painting session.
# I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour. #
Yep, the boys have been burning the midnight oil
to make sure their kitchen is flawless, as it's halfway through
the competition and they are yet to score a room win.
It's 2:30 in the morning.
Um...
Just finished painting underneath our bench.
And I'm wrecked.
Just gotta finish doing some Porta timber
against the top of the cabinet there.
The boys' coastal minimalist design
includes a Porta timber trim above the cabinetry
and wrapped around the base of a 3.8-metre island bench.
That's probably the 'wow'. Like, it's pretty...
It's a 'less is more' type of kitchen.
I'm so impressed with the boys this week.
They've listened to the architect,
they've listened to the builder and they've listened to the judges
and I just think this is a triple-ten result,
this one for the boys.
(R&B TRACK PLAYS)
PRODUCER: What sets your kitchen apart from the others
as you're starting to see them all come together?
Not only is ours a standout because it's all black,
but we've got these really great... I think they're called FurnSpins.
# I turn around back in love. #
Dan!
You've found the secret spot, mate.
Yeah, I was just seeing how the mechanism works.
I actually quite like it.
How do you open...? There you go.
It's good.
My little cocktail bar. That's cool.
It's, like, perfectly balanced.
It's a nice feature.
The kitchen really does feel like the heart of the home.
You can sort of see it all coming into place.
Like, you can see it all coming together.
Well, I'm feelin' it down here.
Good.
This is a nice detail.
Yeah, it looks cool, hey?
It's looking exactly how I imagined it.
Flash. Yeah.
Very flash. Very flash.
Over on the northern end of the Block,
Kristian and Mimi have the only upstairs kitchen this week.
And while Mimi's out shopping...
# Let me go wild like a twister in the sun let me go wild... #
..Kristian is prepping the walls for a big day and night of painting.
(SONG CONTINUES)
Today, we've got to sand and paint, clean up and then style.
We probably won't get to styling until, like, late.
PRODUCER: You seem so enthusiastic about that.
I know. I don't like kitchens. Why is that?
I don't like cooking.
And I don't understand what goes in kitchens.
I just eat food.
I've bought lots of wine, though.
To help me relieve stress.
Kristian and Mimi's love-hate relationship with their kitchen
began in Week 2 when they chose a bold green feature oven and cooktop
as their statement piece.
That one's definitely my favourite of the colours.
I'm hating this green now.
I just can't see it working.
And this is more like...
Shrek.
And today it's going in.
I love it.
My favourite feature is the oven.
It was a massive U-turn.
We completely hated it at the start,
and now it's our favourite part of our house.
It's fancy Shrek.
He's Shrek, I'm Princess Fiona.
Oh, this is looking good. Do you like it?
I think a big feature of this kitchen is the stone.
Other than that, it's mostly pared back.
Everyone else has gone for a dull, muted stone.
We've gone for this...in your face.
Mm-hm.
It's hot.
And you've got a splashback, too? Yeah.
But with the ledge in that so, hopefully, it looks good.
Looks like Dan and Grumpy
have buried the hatchet after their blue earlier this week.
You look at authority like it's nothing.
No, I don't.
There's a reason why we do this,
and you disrespected me by over-ordering again.
How have I looked at authority like it's nothing?
Because I told you on Saturday, "Don't over-order."
Yeah, you did. And what have you done?
You did tell me about... And what have you done?
He thinks that we are cheating
or putting ourselves at an unfair advantage
'cause we accidentally over-ordered on some gyprock this week.
Ordering ahead goes against one of my golden rules, so...
There's gonna be consequences next week.
Of course there is.
We won't over-order again, Dan, we promise.
Yeah, but I'm gonna give you a penalty on Monday.
So, what are the boys gonna get for their penalty?
The boys? Yeah.
What did the boys do? They missed pre-start.
I'm still adamant on everybody else getting a time penalty, as well.
I just said to Grant, when you guys missed pre-start,
how long did I shut you down for?
One hour. Exactly, well, there you go.
He said I should receive a time penalty.
I said, "Well, then, you should check everybody's garage
"because I know everybody's hoarding gyprock."
I'm still adamant on everybody else getting a time penalty, as well,
'cause everyone has gyprock stacked in their garage.
Well, the girls... Besides the girls.
That wasn't their fault. That I completely understand.
The girls are exempt because their excess gyprock
was ordered by their predecessors, Jesse and Paige.
Everyone else has gyprock stacked.
Grant's the new rule-maker, apparently.
Well, no, like, if it's good for one...
Scotty's getting replaced, Grant's comin' in,
he's gonna get the book out and just start writing his own.
If it's good for one, it's good for all.
How long is a piece of string?
It doesn't matter how much is over-ordered,
if I get the time penalty, so do 5, 3 and 4.
Why does Grant and Courtney always have to cop the punishment?
Why are we always painted as the bad guys?
'Cause we are.
Just to be clear, Grumpy over-ordered by 42 sheets.
(BUZZER BLARES)
And now a reluctant Dan
is doing his final audit of Houses 3, 4 and 5
to help determine what penalty will be given
to everyone that has over-ordered this week.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, 11, 12, 13.
Fifteen.
15 sheets over-ordered.
Jeez, he was right.
Grant, I think he requested an audit.
Did he?
You guys have over-ordered by 15 sheets,
plaster, so we're gonna...
I'm gonna figure out a... Penalty?
..penalty for that. Yep.
And I'll let you know Monday morning.
OK.
Well, you'll find out Monday the penalty.
What do you mean?
Well, you've over-ordered 15 sheets.
(BUZZER BLARES)
Well, we were always scheduled, especially with my hipages lever,
to do my ceiling.
The extra plaster sheets were all ordered
to do the ceiling as we had the hipages lever.
We 100% planned on using them and then got told we couldn't.
So, it's evident we can't do the ceiling above the kitchen
'cause we need Kinsman in there.
Yeah, OK. I can consider that.
Ricky, I've gone around,
we've done the audit for the surplus in materials.
You were over by five sheets.
(BUZZER BLARES)
Right. Alright?
So, you're not allowed any surplus
for any type of wastage, breakage of sheet, if anything gets wet?
Yeah, probably a little bit of breakage,
yeah, I'll take that into consideration.
OK.
When you order anything, there's always a matter of wastage.
If we get punished for that, for having scrap,
that's gonna be up to Dan.
You'll find out the penalty on Monday morning.
Right.
Thanks, buddy. Thanks, mate.
How do you feel about Grant being involved in that whole situation?
If you get done for doing something or if you get in trouble,
there's obviously two ways you can go about it.
You can just cop it.
Or you can scramble and start taking down everyone around ya.
If you do do something like that,
it probably just shows the type of person you are,
I think, a little bit.

(HORN HONKS)
Hi! Present time.
Oh! We love presents!
What have we got here?
I've got an handmade-in-Milan coffee machine.
Oh! The Block's doin' it.
E&S, they are the gift that keeps on giving.
Rob and the team down there, they've looked after us the whole way.
We wouldn't have a kitchen without 'em.
The beauty is that it's got a dual boiler,
so, while you're steaming your milk, you can also be brewing the coffee
at the same time so it's really quick and easy in the morning,
you just want a coffee straight away.
So, yeah, it's for you to enjoy.
You can put it anywhere in your house.
Thank you.
This coffee machine... Sorry, Mimi, it's just for us.
(ALL LAUGH)
You'll get one, you'll get one. Oh, no, it's fine.
Thank you. Thank you.
So, I know you've already got a coffee machine,
like, a built-in one.
Yeah, but never too many coffee machines.
The girls now have two coffee machines
but they don't have a builder
after their rocky relationship with their carpenter, Zak,
came to an end when he quit earlier this week.
Sometimes, the way that you come across
is a little bit aggressive and a little bit intimidating.
I get you might feel intimidated.
I can be blunt and very straight to the point about things.
That's the way I work and that's the way we get stuff done.
I feel like you're talking down on me.
Yeah, you can ask questions.
Well, we can't ask questions, that's the point. We can't.
I can ask questions but I can't get an answer.
So, then, what's the point of asking questions?
Alright, I think this has made the decision.
I think we're gonna be out.
We're gonna no longer work here with you guys.
Sorry, guys.
It's now Saturday and, with a new room set to kick off Monday,
the girls are desperate to lock in a new build team.
Hi, Chris. My name's Maddy.
I'm a contestant on The Block this series.
I'm just trying to make some enquiries.
We need a new builder by next Monday.
We probably rang about... Fifteen.
..maybe ten to 15 different builders.
To be honest, I can't see myself getting there Monday.
Yeah, I don't do building anymore.
I've got a kitchen reno to start Monday.
That goes for two weeks.
(PHONE BEEPS) Hi, Jared.
(PHONE BEEPS) Hey, Brad.
We called friends of a friend's, contacts.
I'm just on the phone right now. Please leave your name, your number.
And then, finally...
Yeah, that would be amazing if that works for you.
..we had three potentials.
One was happy to start on Monday
but couldn't necessarily commit to the six weeks.
We have a builder for a week.
Two - couldn't start on Monday but could start the following week
but would be happy to commit for the next six weeks.
Three...
Oh, did you?
And he was like, "I'll come and look on Monday
"and we'll see what we can do."
Oh, there you go.
So, hopefully, we're covered in the builder department this week.
The girls now have three builders, two coffee machines
and they even have the kitchen sink.
What they don't have is a tap for said sink.
One of the changes that we could actually make to the kitchen
was the tap
because we wanted to move a little bit away
from the modern colonial style that Jesse and Paige were doing.
Do you like that? I do.
The problem is the replacement tap is lost in transit.
I'm really hoping my kitchen tap arrives, as well,
that apparently got delivered yesterday but didn't make it.
The missing taps, what a debacle.
Oh, it's light.
Earlier this week, the girls reached out to ABI Interiors to see
if they could get an alternative tap to match their kitchen handles.
These are the same handles that are going on the kitchen.
We've got a brushed brass.
It's something we've got in the pipeline but not...
We'll take...we'll take a sample.
They were so lovely.
That was, like, set to arrive on Friday
and we were like, "Sweet, amazing."
Love that.
I was like, just in case that doesn't come,
let's order some back-ups from the Gold Coast.
They were like, yep, sweet, put that on Express Post.
That was also due to deliver on Friday but both of them came back
saying that they had attempted delivery but it never actually came.
You still haven't got that ABI delivery?
Nup.
'Cause at 4:00 or 4:30 they said
'failed to deliver' from Australia Post.
So, it says that it failed to deliver at 4:30 yesterday afternoon
which is very odd considering the gates would've been open, still.
So, that was a bit of a mystery, but ABI to the rescue.
They so generously said
that they would fly one of their team down with a bag full of taps.
Yeah.
And said he will arrive by 5:30... ..am Sunday...
BOTH: ..morning.
In House 4, Kylie's pantry is getting a professional makeover.
Kylie.
Hello! Hi.
My name's Katie. I'm going to be doing your pantry.
Great to meet you. You too.
Katie's amazing and an absolute godsend
because I have no idea what I'm doing.
And I have children so can you imagine
my pantry looking like an absolute hot mess.
And the best part - the 2,000 bucks' worth of food and styling
is a freebie won by House 4 on the Kinsman Chocolate Wheel.
Pantry styling! (SCOTTY CHUCKLES)
Our pantry and cupboards are gonna look immaculate.
If the judges don't open every single cupboard
and every single drawer, I am going to be very sad
because she has absolutely nailed the pantry styling.
Mwah!
Now that the inside of her cupboards are sorted...
..Kylie has called in hipages to spruce up the rest of her kitchen.
Righto, no more power tools!

Now, where are we gonna place this?
Um...
How's that, Mimi?
Oh, my God!
That's actually perfect.

I've been painting this thing for, like, two days, mate, seriously.

Hello, hello. Good morning.
You must be our lifesaver.
All the way from the Gold Coast,
and brought pretty much the showroom to us.
In, like, literally half a day's notice.
Thank you so much for coming.
Safely delivered our options for our taps.
So, I've brought you three different options that you can pick from.
Oh, my goodness. You are the best. Amazing.
# I will catch you I'll be waiting. #
I think our best options
are the tumbled brushed brass or the tumbled copper.
What do you think? The tumbled brushed brass.
Yeah, I think so, too.
I think it's a nice contrast.
It's not trying to be matching.
No, it's not trying to be it but it, like, still looks pretty.
Complements it.
It was really important for us to, like, make it feel
as much like our own as we could within the limitations
of, you know, designing a kitchen that was planned weeks ago.
So, yeah, having that tap that didn't scream modern colonial
was very important, and so they made that happen
and we're so grateful, and so yay to having a beautiful tap.

Have you guys seen the actual plans?
Do you want to show...? I don't...
'Cause they didn't pick this, did they?
Well, that's their problem. That's their...(LAUGHS).
Is there any way of changing it?
It's too late. Like, the product's here.
They're about to install it.
So, you're gonna have to make it work.
I need to figure out what colour sink we're getting.
I didn't know what tapware
until the kitchen actually just rocked up and I was like, "Oh."
That's not what I was thinking.
Is it too late to change it to a different colour?
Oh, we can work something out, yeah. That's good.
We wanted to move a little bit away from the modern colonial.
Has to change somehow.
This team dynamic isn't gonna work.
We are gonna no longer work here with you guys.
It's just not the way that I would've wanted things to end.
What's your biggest tip, then, for styling?
Don't set it too much 'cause it's not a TV set, it's a home.
Oh, that's a good one. Yeah.

(SHAYNNA CHORTLES)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Wow. This is stunning.
Walking into your Kinsman kitchen,
our three judges were smiling from ear to ear.
That's good.
This is the most beautiful natural stone.
It almost looks like crystal.
It's quartzite.
It is divine. And it is delightful.
And it feels so expensive.
Probably 'cause it is.
Yeah, probably.
Shaynna said the joinery was of a high quality.
This oak is just beautiful.
I just...
Darren, I'm sorry, I'm being you at the moment.
I am touching everything at the moment.
She thinks that matching the oak colour to this stone choice
is risky.
But they've done it to perfection.
To me, this is the perfect combination.
It is beautiful.
Maddy and Charlotte would've largely inherited this kitchen.
Yeah, yeah. Very lucky.
Jesse and Paige would've put so much thought and effort into this,
and, you know, I feel for them that they're not here
because this is absolutely stunning.
So, here's your shout-out to Jesse and Paige,
who are sittin' on the couch right now, well done.
(SOFT LAUGHTER)
Thank you.
I just love the fact, the moment you walk into this house,
straight away, the buyers will be taken aback by this kitchen.
The sense of luxury and the thick stone, the colour palette,
the fluted glass,
like, all these elements, they build that story of luxury
the moment they walk in the front door, which, for the buyers,
the first thing that they're gonna absolutely love.
Over the years, many of our Blockheads
have had a butler's pantry on Kitchen Week,
which has led to much debate between our judges.
We don't have a butler's pantry in this kitchen.
I couldn't be more happy about that.
This island bench is luxurious, the scale and size of it,
and I think you can only do these things
if you don't think you have to put a butler's pantry in a kitchen.
Sometimes, you just don't need it.
Yeah.
Marty noted the storage throughout this kitchen is excellent.
Great storage.
Oh, that's an awesome pantry. Yeah.
Beautiful LED strip lighting detail.
Let's have a look, this is...
Pocket sliders.
And an appliance corner, as well.
All series, our judges have been talking about
building a perfect holiday home that you can entertain in.
Darren thought your kitchen this week was exactly that.
It feels like the right scale for a house this size.
Well, people coming down here will have eight, ten guests.
This is the scale of kitchen that you need to service those people.
Girls, I know you have been worried about your styling.
Maddy and Charlotte did inherit the majority of this,
so the styling is them.
But you have nothing to worry about this week, according to Shaynna.
Oh, good.
The styling is spot on.
I'm loving everything that they put out.
You know, I think this is absolutely sweet.
There's a lot of native bushland here on the island.
Not a lot of Proteas,
but I love the fact it's native flowers they've chosen.
Really simple with the chopping board.
It's very restrained, lets the kitchen do the talking.
One key thing when selling properties
is to make it feel like it's home.
Even if it's an investment property, make it feel like it's lived-in.
This feels lived-in, this feels homely
and it does not feel overdone whatsoever.
You also really know how to style a room for a buyer.
See?
And this being the main selling feature,
this is marketable and this won't date.
Shaynna loved the Smeg Neptune ovens.
That profile is so sexy.
I love the coffee station here.
We have a wine cabinet.
How cute is that. Like, that's a lot of wine in there.
My only thing would be, 'cause you're serving from here,
I would just probably have the sink a little bit that way.
Or possibly at the other end so it's not opposite the ovens.
This is the smallest amount of bench space
for the working function of all the hot food or the pantry
that should be either up the other end or more to the centre.
Well, you did it.
You found a fault. I found a fault, I found something.
Well done, Shaynna Blaze.
One thing Shaynna did really love
is the ABI tap in the tumbled brass finish.
That was a last-minute addition, wasn't it?
It got flown down from the Gold Coast last night
and arrived at 5:30am.
This morning.
And this tapware is divine.
It is tumbled brass.
It's got that beautiful finish.
It has that antique look to it.
It's got a spray to it.
Shaynna is also a massive fan of the herringbone flooring.
This is going to go all the way through into the living space
and into the laundry, by the looks of it.
I just think everything together is divine.
It's beautiful.
The paintwork is also faultless.
Oh!
What a start. Yes.
Yeah, I agree.
They've hit it out of the park, without a doubt.
Maddy and Charlotte, you have set the bar very high for the day.
Well done.
That's it? Oh!
Well done, girls.
(APPLAUSE)
Thank you, Jesse and Paige, for creating a beautiful kitchen.
Yes, we did the painting and the styling
and made sure it all got there.
But it was a team effort, I say.
You, yeah, made the selections so we're grateful.
Thank you for that.

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.
(WAVES THRASH)
('4 MINUTES' BY MADONNA PLAYS)
OK, Courtney and Grumps.
(LAUGHTER)
# Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock break it down. #
This week was fulfilling.
It was fulfilling to see the kitchen come together,
and, especially in our house design,
you walk in the front door and it hits you right in the face.
Overall, we're going with a modern Mediterranean look.
Yeah.
We're gonna have a really long island.
It's gonna be about four metres.
We have the curve that was a feature this week, just to tie that in.
That continues throughout the house.
This wall here is gonna be curved.
So it's like a soft curve. Soft curve.
Like your walls in the bedrooms? Like the walls, yeah.
It'll look cool.
We've invested in a really nice, like, tap.
Reece can get us this $8,000 tap
which does sparkling, hot and cold filtered water.
We're gonna put it on the island. Yeah.
We're gonna go all out. Yeah.
Wow, that's interesting, isn't it?
And then this little sneaky guy.
Oh!
Scotty loves his curves. Yeah!
It's like a subtle feature.
It's the week we want to win, Kitchen Week.
It's the biggest week on The Block. Biggest week on The Block, for sure.
('DARKNESS AND LIGHT' BY JOHN LEGEND PLAYS)
We're really proud of our kitchen.
I hope the judges notice that the kitchen is very practical.
I hope they notice the...like, the smaller details and the styling,
the beautiful curve and the tap.
# Don't stop I need it
# Release me
# It's too hard for me to hold. #
You never know but I really hope it's our week.
Wowee.
Very similar layout.
Look at this stone, though.
The first thing Marty clocked on the way in today -
"It really is very dramatic."
For Shaynna, it was the cocktail styling.
I'm just looking at this vignette.
That's a shot.
The talent in styling here is off the charts,
and the fact they had time to crust the cocktail glasses - excuse me.
OK.
That's lovely but whoa!
Like, holy sh...
Wow. Yeah.
This is unreal.
How beau...
Like, sorry, creepy guy touching stuff again.
This is just stimulating.
Like, I am...
Do you...? (LAUGHS)
Shaynna was really smiling now,
and thinks your kitchen feels warm and inviting.
It shouldn't but it does,
and it's because of everything they've put with it.
Like, this beautiful porcelain Cosentino stone
is absolutely mind-blowing,
and look how it wraps into the sink
and you just have a brass base there.
It's next level and divine.
Your kitchen was actually making Shaynna salivate.
(SULTRY MUSIC)
I'm actually salivating.
I really am. I am.
I think it's just the richness, and this couple shows...
I don't mind if I do.
Dribblin'.
Jesus.
Whoa. We like Shaynna.
That was the aim. That's the goal, Scotty.
That was the goal.
Marty has loved your style from the beginning.
The modern-terranean has absolutely been hit out of the ball park.
But, when I walk in here, I don't see how this is modern-terranean.
He thought this room was too full on.
I love the layout.
I love the butler's around the corner,
which I can see on the way in.
However, I particularly don't feel like this kitchen matches the level
of quality and sophistication that I have seen in the previous rooms.
Really?
I personally would've loved to have seen some of that Viola marble
that was used in the other bathrooms make their way into the kitchen.
They aren't actually blowing anyone away, particularly myself.
Could not disagree with you more.
It's fair to say it was Marty vs Darren and Shaynna.
I just see that this is almost trying to be modern-terranean,
and they've missed the mark.
Do not agree.
I think you're looking at a completely different kitchen to me.
Mm!
Everything in here is just beautiful.
Darren thinks the Budino walnut colour could not be more on trend.
I'm besotted by the colour scheme,
by the materiality, by the decisions they've made for drama and impact.
But is there anything in here that you haven't seen before?
Because, in the other rooms,
they really captured us and they took us away to a different place.
I'm not being taken away here.
Ah... I've seen this time and time again.
Well, not as this complete combination you haven't.
Like, this is pretty new, this is really different,
and I think, the fact that they've done the step up there,
not everyone gets the step right.
Darren did, however, agree with Marty on one point.
The fact that there's only three stools in this kitchen
for such a large kitchen is a bit of an issue.
A more pleasing layout and a more functional layout for me
would be to have chairs on both sides of this
so you can use it as a prep space and as a dining space for mornings,
for breakfast, 'cause that's where you sit
when you're having breakfast, so...
Particularly with a holiday home. 100%.
But back to the positives.
This is my perfect oven.
It's a microwave, convection and steam oven in one appliance.
All the luxury inclusions in here - the big, wide sink, the wine fridge.
This induction cooktop is heaven.
And a beautiful tap.
I think they've planned this really beautifully.
The fact we have the ovens over the other side there, that's the layout
I was wanting for House 1 so, to me, they've got that right.
Marty thought finishes were of the highest standard.
I can't fault their craftsmanship.
And the detailing, like the curve in the ceiling, is stunning.
That's a detail that's hard to do.
I love everything that I see in here.
Shaynna was still quite stunned
that Marty had any issues with this kitchen apart from the stool issue.
It hasn't hit the mark.
Wow, I just feel so...
Like, you're being so harsh.
I feel it's amazing.
I think there's so many high-end qualities.
Anyway, I think we have to agree to disagree
'cause I don't want to hear any more.
I agree with you. Do you want to go to House 3?
So, two judges who had near-faultless feedback,
Darren and Shaynna,
and Marty sounding a bit grumpy this week.
(LAUGHTER) That's it.
(APPLAUSE)
Good job, guys.
We had really good feedback from Shaynna,
and that's what we were kind of aiming for, but now Marty's down.
The tables have turned.
We lost one but gained the other. Yeah.
(PENGUINS CHIRP)
# 'Cause if you want to keep me... #
Welcome back to my HQ here on beautiful Phillip Island.
We've heard the judges' feedback for Houses 1 and 2.
Now it's time for the boys in House 3 to face the music.
OK, boys.
This is our week.
I feel like we've, you know, got a good direction with this kitchen
and we've got a good layout and we've got some good ideas happening.
We're going for a modern coastal, minimalist vibe.
Lots of timbers and fluted glass, lots of whites.
That's a winning piece of stone right there.
Yep.
Dunc's decided to reverse the week.
Instead of gyprocking on Wednesday,
he's deciding to start gyprocking today
and we're sub-flooring tomorrow.
Dunc's plan is to build that sub-floor out of steel.
It's a huge play by Dunc.
TRUECORE sub-floor.
Look how straight it's gonna be.
We believe it's gonna save us probably around eight to ten K.
This looks amazing. Yeah, I love it. Loving this curved island.
Yeah, I do. Feels very inviting, doesn't it?
You've got lots of space either side. That's lovely.
Plenty of room for the breakfast bar.
NEFF are supplying the appliances for our place.
Wow, I couldn't have been better.
We went with the... Got the fancy...
Is this like a copper trim?
This is beautiful, wow. Yeah.
One of the beauties with this product
is, look at this, the slide-and-hide door.
What? Isn't it amazing?
We actually finished our room.
('BACK HOME' BY ANDY GRAMMAR PLAYS)
Stoked. We're stoked.
And we're really happy with how it's turned out.
# Find our way back home. #
This feels like hands-down the best room that we've delivered,
and it felt fantastic to walk away from.
# It don't matter where we go. #
I feel like a winner this week, anyway.
You know, regardless of the judging and how it goes down,
whether we win the room, I feel like we're already winners this week.
# Yeah we always find our way back home. #
A finished room from the boys.
Thank goodness.
The judges were very pleased to find your kitchen finished this week
and finished very well, too.
Coastal oak is probably one of my favourite finishes ever.
I think it's absolutely appropriate for beach.
I think it's got a lovely softness in grain.
It works beautifully with these floors.
And with these lights,
those elements together just feel really perfect for this house.
Shaynna noticed many great details
including the brass strip in the benchtop.
And the fact that we've got this shadow line in the stone,
which I think is absolutely beautiful.
I love the fact that you disappear into this,
meaning that it is so coastal, it is so Phillip Island.
You literally nearly disappear.
But it is very coastal, very Phillip Island.
I like this velvet finish, too,
the way it's diffused across the top here so it's not ultra-shiny.
It's got a really lovely texture to it.
And it is great to touch, as Darren does.
Marty noted this is clearly a kitchen for entertaining.
This is the biggest kitchen we've seen today.
Mm-hm. By a mile.
And I love the fact that you can easily sit
at least nine, ten people around this kitchen.
This is the one where, if I was to invite all my friends over
and entertain, I've got the ability to do so.
Well, that's what people are coming to Phillip Island to do.
They're gathering with their friends and family.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
There's a lot of boxes ticked.
But...
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
It's not functional.
You have a single sink.
We've seen double sinks or larger sinks.
We have, I'm assuming...
OK, we have an incredible fridge here.
Right next to...
..the oven and microwave, which, can I say, how beautiful is this detail.
But everything is on top of each other.
They're all shoved together here in a walkway, a major walkway,
we have this, and that's the biggest no-no.
Marty had to agree with Shaynna on the placement of the appliances.
To be in a thoroughfare
is one of the biggest faux pas you can do when designing a kitchen.
Shaynna then took issue with your styling.
Like, those tea towels look like
you've put your good ones in the washing.
Those flowers are so wrong.
They look like they've come out of the bin
and you've put them in the vase.
And the rest of the styling is too basic.
You know, we always tell people on The Block, "Don't go to Instagram.
"Don't go to Pinterest. Don't copy."
I feel like telling the boys, "Can you start looking?
"Please get some inspiration."
It's not a functioning kitchen and it doesn't get the heart fluttering,
and we always say the kitchen is the heart of the home
and this heart needs a little bit of a defibrillator.
Darren did really like the walk-through pantry area.
This is elevated and chic and beautiful and refined.
And acknowledged that there were some great luxurious elements
in the design.
This is elevated.
The fluted glass, the profiles,
the coastal oak, the handles, even, elevate it.
But he did think you made a mistake with the white cupboard.
If it doesn't have a profile,
it just looks like the stuff you get off the shelf.
And to think that Kinsman have so many different profiles
to choose from, to go for just a plain door was the wrong move.
I would actually beg Kinsman
to change all these white cabinets to this beautiful oak,
and then, this Porta moulding, I would actually change the colour.
Put another colour in there that's not white.
Please, you've gotta get rid of that Porta moulding there.
It doesn't look right. It just doesn't look right.
Get more of the oak, take it up there
and they've gotta change their styling.
Probably not the feedback you were expecting or hoping for, boys,
but remember the positives, the coastal feeling and the size.
Maybe do some more research into styling your room for the buyer.
That's it, fellas. Sorry. I liked your kitchen.
(APPLAUSE)
I liked your kitchen, for what it's worth.
(SOMBRE MUSIC)
I don't know.
(SOFT, EMOTIVE MUSIC)
Yeah, it's definitely savage
working your butt off, getting an absolute minimal amount of sleep,
like, we're talking a few hours a night, if that,
and to get...to get a roasting on a Sunday night's savage,
but it's a long game
and, as long as we're proud of what we're doing each week
and it all comes together at the end,
that's the most important thing.
(MUSIC CONTINUES)
(THUNDER PEALS, PENGUINS CHIRP)
('SPOOKY' BY DUSTY SPRINGFIELD PLAYS)
House 4, Kylie and Brad.
Definitely a very relaxed week.
Because our kitchen's such a different layout to the others,
we probably had the least to do this week.
What's your overall aesthetic?
Dark, moody, texture.
The kitchen is gonna completely show them our entire style in one room.
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 racks,
a little bit more adult.
Christian Cole stools will also add a little bit of coastal...
Warmth. ..warmth with some natural vibes.
We have the hipages plasterers at the moment.
We utilised them in our hallway.
It's looking really good.
Ooh, I love that profile.
Which is that profile there. Same, yeah.
It's just bougie.
Bougie, I like, I like.
What is it, Shell? Bougie.
What's that? Bougie, darling, it's bougie!
Love my kitchen.
# I'ma care for you. #
It's the amount of colour that we have
that sets our kitchen apart from the rest, I think.
Yeah.
I just really like the fact that the judges will get a very good idea
of where we've been trying to go this whole time.
I think that's what makes me proud.
# You make it look like it's magic. #
And, like, that's the heart of the home
and they're actually, like, "Oh, we get it."
Walking into your dark kitchen today,
Darren immediately said...
Ooh, ooh!
Wow. Hey.
Wow.
Is this Tom Ford enough for ya?
You might disappear in this kitchen now.
I know.
This is sultry.
This is moody, sexy.
It feels very expensive.
It does feel expensive.
We think of that first bathroom, which was the nightclub,
but this is actually the same palette
but it has that finish that we've been looking for.
Mm.
I think, their bathroom from Week 1,
they need to look at this and then go,
"OK, cool, how do we just pick these notes up and apply it to that?"
Because that would be a fantastic bathroom
if it had this essence, this nuance.
It's the materiality and the simplicity.
That's why it works so well.
It's absolutely in line with
what Kylie and Brad have been trying to do every single week.
They've tried for this but this is on the money.
Every inclusion is right for the space and the colour palette.
The Miele appliances in black
are exactly the right choice for this room.
And you think about the styling, there is three things in here,
a chopping board and a couple of plants, and it just works.
It is so simple but it's so luxurious.
Darren thought the art choice was perfect this week.
That art is the right feeling,
the right mood, the right tone for this home.
It gives you those natural textural elements
but still ties in with that tonal palette.
He thinks you have come a long way when it comes to art.
Would you agree? BOTH: Yeah.
He loved the ultra matte black cabinetry.
It's lovely, isn't it, that finish
because it doesn't leave fingerprints,
which is fortunate because there are no handles.
Yes.
Right, so that's a really clever decision, having all...
What's that, the pantry? Yes!
Oh, beautiful.
Food storage!
And it's beautifully styled.
An amazing fridge.
Oh, my God, this is space age.
This is Tom Ford meets James Bond.
That's your kitchen. Look at that fridge!
That is incredible.
Darren discovered that you'd even styled
the cupboard underneath the sink.
Oh, wow. Are you serious?
These guys finished with time to burn.
Who's ever said under the sink looks amazing, as well?
No-one.
Gotta love a chocolate wheel, don't you?
I don't.
My only question, as a holiday home,
if you've got eight, nine, ten people
sleeping here over the weekend or during holidays,
this kitchen will become a bit of an issue in terms of space and storage.
Darren agreed with Marty.
I think you've got everything covered in here
except for a suitable place to put glasses.
And he and Shaynna went looking.
Is there cupboards here?
And eventually found the FurnSpin cabinets.
Here we go.
There's something here.
Ooh.
How's that for a feature?
James Bond meets Tom Ford. I've never seen anything like this.
That's really cool.
I wonder if they've matched it anywhere else. What are we missing?
Oh, my goodness.
Darren loved what he called
the James Bond functionality of those FurnSpin cabinets.
Oh, stop it!
There's more!
That's hot!
It's a bar.
So, they had to take that criticism back.
(LAUGHTER)
I'm standing here looking at these...
Are they called tractor stools?
Christian Cole, like, hello.
The quality here is right up top level.
Marty's only concern
is that proportions may not be quite right for a kitchen
that may have to service up to ten people on a weekend.
It's just the appliance cabinet
which is still missing, where those appliances sit.
Yeah, 'cause they're in here.
Yes, true. I know.
So, that's still so important, particularly
when you're bringing children down to a place like Phillip Island.
You're using appliances.
It'll be out on the bench every day. Every single day.
I hate having to pack up a toaster and kettle.
And look at your bench space here.
You know what, when they're doing the laundry,
they should have a little think of a little extra service area.
That's all they need. Mm-hm.
As much as I love the function of that shelf
and the cool James Bond element of the shelf,
running cabinetry down that hallway into the laundry,
you could've picked up that amenity for the appliance cupboard,
you could've picked up a full glasses cupboard.
That actually is a good opportunity to pick that up.
I know it's a beautiful fitting but maybe they'll want to look at that
when they're doing Laundry Week.
Shaynna agreed on this point
but, overall, she was hugely impressed
with your efforts this week.
Kylie and Brad, you have found your sweet spot.
This is perfection
in the fact that they've found their style, this is the look,
and they've found it in the kitchen,
one of the most important parts of the house.
Well done, Kylie and Brad.
Whoo! (APPLAUSE)
Nice, baby.
It's good that we got some positive feedback.
Realistically, I think, we're on a pretty good track.

It's Kitchen Week and it's time for our newlyweds in House 5
to hear their feedback from the judges.
Kristian and Mimi.
(MIMI SHUDDERS)
This week was chock-a-block.
We are upstairs with our kitchen.
We've got a nice, long island bench.
Oven, cooktop and rangehood.
Do you have a colour in mind from a design perspective?
That one's definitely my favourite of the colours.
We'll take it.
Mimi is about to design Shrek's kitchen.
(CIRCUS MUSIC)
The floor has to go down
so that Kinsman can start putting our kitchen in.
We've got floorboards that click into one another with a chevron.
It was so nice to see our cabinetry up.
Kinsman did a great job kinda installing everything.
And there was lots and lots of appliances arrive today.
We've got a stone coming in.
We've got a crane rocking up now.
It's gonna take probably six to eight people to
bring this piece of stone in.
Oh, my God.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Everyone watch your fingers.
You'll feel it.
Oh, yeah, baby!
And this is a window.
So, your splashback looks out to the backyard.
Yeah, to the pool.
And look at the light that's coming in here.
Yeah. Our first Velux.
So, you've got them outdoors and outdoors and outdoors?
I love it.
We've actually really felt the pressure this time.
And if we do well this week, it'll be very, very rewarding.
('CLAIR DE LUNE' BY THELMA PLUM PLAYS)
I, you know, had so much anxiety about this kitchen,
and now it's probably my proudest room.
# Know me?
# Don't go tell me that the lights won't change
# Tell me that you'll feel the same. #
Favourite features - the oven.
But also the natural light
kinda, like, you know, showcasing everything.
It's like, ah! The heart! (SING-SONG)
I'm so ready to hear what they're gonna say.
I hope they love it, love Shrek's kitchen.
With four out of five wins on The Block,
our judges expect every room to be of a high standard
from Kristian and Mimi.
Walking into your kitchen this week...
Hoo-hoo!
..Darren said...
Well, Kristian and Mimi don't let us down, do they?
This is stunning.
(UPLIFTING ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)
Darren thinks the Marmorio Dekton stone is divine.
This plus the walnut plus these taps and that sink, as a whole mix...
How warm is it? Oh, yum.
Yum, yum, yum.
He said, "Yum, yum, yum, yum."
And look at the detail.
We've got, you know, triple stack.
I haven't seen a triple stack before.
That's just with two shadow lines,
that is just so elegant and beautiful,
and these handles that go with the timber,
like, that is just so beautiful.
Oh, and the profile of that door!
Even the bowl of kiwifruit is awesome.
Wow, these guys are really, really in their stride, aren't they?
But...
Hm.
..Marty wasn't so sure.
This triple stack, for me, it actually looks like a mistake.
No, it...!
I would've preferred just the thick stone
is a much nicer, more refined look.
I'm really unsure
about the colour of these appliances and this rangehood.
He thinks it's polarising for the buyers.
No matter what we say or think or do,
this colour would not be at the top of the buyer's shopping list.
And, unfortunately, when you segregate a market
in the most expensive room of your campaign,
it's risky and I think this is a risk
that they necessarily shouldn't have taken.
He was also perplexed about the placement of the fridge.
If that's the fridge down there, one, two, three, four...
That's still five steps away from the central hub of the kitchen.
It's just not right.
There's elements that I love.
This glass splashback, love.
I love the natural light.
Appliance section's nailed.
Great little set-up here. Mm!
But there's just certain elements
that for me are just not quite right.
The fridge placement is my only thing.
For her, the Portofino oven colour is great.
I always like to do things like this in some sort of way to create drama,
to shock people, to give them something they...
I'm shocked. Good.
Well, it's about giving you something
you didn't know you wanted.
That green with that walnut says mid-century.
Phillip Island is full of fibro houses that are mid-century.
Her only issue is the green of the oven isn't matching in the stools.
That doesn't match. That's throwing your eye, isn't it?
Well, that doesn't match this green.
Marty was more vocal.
I feel that people will walk in and really get excited
to walk upstairs after they see the rooms downstairs.
(UNSETTLING MUSIC)
And once they come through this hallway and look at this kitchen,
and their eyes land on this as the focal point of the kitchen...
..I think the majority of buyers will feel let down.
Darren reckons your kitchen does have a lot of heavy lifting.
I love it.
It has not the most floor space that we've seen today,
but probably the most storage.
It has a really generous
entertaining and dining island bench,
and it has a lot of drama to it, as well.
And he really loves the oven and the rangehood,
and doesn't care what Marty thinks about that.
(LAUGHTER)
Thanks, Darren.
Shaynna really loves the chevron pattern floor from Flooring Xtra,
and Marty definitely agreed with her on that one.
These would be my favourite floors of today.
Yeah, I love it.
Finally something our judges can all agree on.
(LAUGHTER) Thank God.
The other thing they could all agree on...
These kitchens have been absolutely stunning.
They've shown us something completely different.
We haven't seen one house that is anything like the other.
That's why I love Kitchen Week
because it's so unique and different and...
They've all got such personalities. Yeah.
So, congratulations to everybody. That's it.
Time for the scores.
(APPLAUSE) Well done, guys.
Marty's on a warpath today.
Yeah, fully.
Like, sh! You're good.
It's not gonna be everyone's cup of tea but we trust it and we love it.

The moment you walk into this house,
straight away, the buyers will be taken aback by this kitchen.
Courtney and Grumps.
I don't see how this is modern-terranean.
I've seen this time and time again.
Ricky and Haydn.
Where they've actually placed their appliances,
to be in a thoroughfare is one of the biggest faux pas
that you can do in designing your kitchen.
Kylie and Brad.
It has that finish that we've been looking for.
Feels very expensive.
And Kristian and Mimi.
I like the kitchen but I don't love the kitchen.
It's just not quite right.
Now, before I go behind here, I've been talking to me mate, P Penguin.
He gets really upset 'cause no-one loves him.
And I said to him this morning, "It's gonna be alright, mate."
So, is anyone lovin' him tonight?

Oh, thank God!
You're playing it? Yeah.
It's over, P.
(LAUGHTER)
They love you.
OK, see you in a sec.
Told you, P.
(DEEP EXHALE)
Shaynna Blaze. Maddy and Charlotte.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
It's really quite risky but they've done it to perfection.
It is beautiful.
Courtney and Grumpy.
Beautiful porcelain Cosentino stone is absolutely mind-blowing.
Ricky and Haydn.
It's not a functioning kitchen and it doesn't get the heart fluttering.
It needs a little bit of a defibrillator.
Kylie and Brad.
(EXHALES NERVOUSLY)
Oh, my God. This is space age.
This is Tom Ford meets James Bond.
Kristian and Mimi.
Look at the detail.
You've got, you know, triple stack.
And these handles.
That is just so elegant and beautiful.
(ORCHESTRAL MUSIC BUILDS THEN FADES)
OK.
The winner of Week 6, Kitchen Week on The Block...
..is...
..by half a point...
(TENSE MUSIC)
Here we go.
It's Brad and Kylie.
(UPBEAT MUSIC, CHEERING)
We are so lucky. Oh!
Winning's winning.
Doesn't matter if it's a point or half a point.
I was not gonna let the girls get it over us.
I'm salty about that.
So, yes, I will take the win over them, thank you.
Congratulations.
You finally played the penguin and you got yourself a win
in Kitchen Week, too, which is fantastic.
10,000 bucks from Ford coming to you,
and you're gonna love our Ford getaway, as well.
We're heading up to Melbourne and we're gonna be staying at the W
in a night of luxury at the Extreme Wow Suite, that's what it's called.
Sounds great. It's gonna be fantastic.
Finally playing the bonus point
and taking out the win this week is Kylie and Brad with 29.5 points.
Newcomers Maddy and Charlotte claimed second place with 29 points.
Followed by Courtney and Grant on 27 points.
Fourth place goes to Kristian and Mimi on 26.5 points.
And in last place is the boys with 23 points.
I mentioned earlier that we're at the halfway mark
so I have a very special announcement to make
about the space that we are standing in right now.
In the last week of the series, you are gonna renovate HQ,
turning it into a fantastic clubhouse thanks to Disney Plus.
Now, we are dividing this area into five spaces,
separate but very distinctive,
and each team will tackle one of those spaces.
Now, here is the kicker.
The spaces will be judged,
and the winner will get $50,000 off their reserve price.
Oh.
That's cash.
I'm sure you've all got some very strong opinions
about which space you'd like to do.
So... Oh, no.
..we are going to decide that at the challenge this week.
Oh. No.
This is a massive week.
It could mean winning or losing The Block.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
OK, good luck. Goodnight.
See ya. Thanks, Scotty.
That's a lot. Oh, my goodness.
The minute I met 'em I was like, none of it adds up.
I don't even know who they are.
VOICEOVER: This is the week the gloves come off.
Come on!
I need more drama! Give me drama.
(MANIACAL LAUGH)
Do you think you're above every other contestant on this site?
Those words never came out of my mouth.
Your actions speak louder than words, mate.
Stop cheating and we won't have this.
They're using every trick in the book...
I'm calling body corp.
That's the word on the street.
There's no word on the street. That's...
It doesn't need to be a big deal, though, with the body corp.
They've lied about who they are, who knows what else.
We knew that there was something.
Don't lie to my face!
Well, soz.
(WHISTLE BLOWS) (SCREAMING)
It's game on. Yeah!
Block bathrooms go next level.
Whoever wins gets $50,000 off their reserve price.
Which is massive. Huge.
Oh my gosh.
Our room reveal galleries are now open for inspection
exclusively at the Block website.
