(CHEERFUL MUSIC) (BIRD CHIRPS)
SCOTT CAM (PRESENTS): The Block has gone country.
Five 10-acre lots, an old build and a new,
and five brand-new couples.
Previously, the first finished room of the season
was the guest bathroom.
The winner of week one on The Block Tree Change,
it's Omar and Oz!
(CHEERS)
We won! We bloody won!
That win came with a whopping $250,000
of Winning Kitchen Appliances.
250, baby.
(LAUGHTER)
The boys are up,
and wooden spooners, Ankur and Sharon were down.
It just feels like I just got it completely wrong again.
Something about it is not feeling authentic.
I'm over it and it's week one.
For Sharon, this week was hell.
If any house would get me angry, it's doing this.
She goes, "That's my house.
"I love this house.
"And I'm really angry that they did this."
Well, it's not your house, babe.
But then...
An old mate of mine.
..she won that bonus point gnome at this week's challenge.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Tonight...
I just don't understand why didn't we think about this?
It's trouble in paradise for one couple...
Tom, I will literally punch you in the (BLEEP) face.
..and Sharon's brief eye comes crashing down.
Having a breakdown, Shaz, we should just leave, mate.
I want to leave.
I don't see how this is gonna go for ten weeks.
Plus, the boys call the first body corporate of the season.
Oh, how annoying.
And then the judges step in.
Is this Dylan and Jenny's room?
Yes, it is. Best students ever!

(RACHEL LAUGHS)
(RYAN SNORES)
Ryan, why were you asleep on the ground?
(RYAN LAUGHS)
Like a little pencil.
I was asleep on the ground
because I hadn't showered in three days.
And I don't jump in the bed filthy.
I just thought I'd go and grab a sleeping bag and I was so tired,
I literally just laid on the floor and fell straight asleep.
And the agenda?
Today is about painting,
sparky fitting off, blinds going in,
and then start cleaning and styling.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(PLAYFUL MUSIC)
Hello!
McDelivery. Oh, alright!
I brought the goods. Beautiful.
Oh, good on you. Good morning.
Thank you.
What you ordered.
Just what you need. Just great.
You do everything around here, don't you?
I've got to, mate.
Yum!
In house four, Jenny and Dylan seem pretty relaxed and in control.
I do like to be tidy and organised.
Yeah, I've probably got partial OCD, I reckon.
(LAUGHS)
Yeah, last night we went to bed quite early,
probably like 10:00 or 11:00.
Yeah, got most of it done.
Just needed to do the last coat this morning.
Yeah, so we wanna style it, hopefully,
by this afternoon and give myself enough time
before the shops close, just in case I need to go get something else.
And they're the only guest bedroom
with a walk-in robe.
I made all that wardrobe space for me, really.
(LAUGHS)
'Cause I need a big wardrobe while I'm here.
Up in house three,
Ankur and Sharon are facing a dilemma.
The problem is the ceiling rose
is way too close to the VELUX skylight.
We knew it was a little bit close at the time,
but we kind of went with it because the alternative
was to put it in a completely different area of the room
which would throw everything off.
And while Keith and Dan are doing their defects tour,
they spot it straight away.
This doesn't look right with a skylight shaft.
At all. It's too close.
Reason why it's there, that's the centre of the bed.
If we put that over there, the pendant, that's coming down,
would be too far away for the bed,
and that would just be a visual eyesore.
What do you guys reckon? Should we move it?
I would.
OK. Yeah.
Just doesn't look right.
And you might break it when you're removing it, too.
At this point in time, on a practical level,
if you disturb that ceiling rose
and it takes any of the plaster off,
we don't have plasterers on site, we won't reveal the room.
Everything's just looking really good.
Thank you. Except for that.
Back in house two,
Rachel and Ryan are going flat check.
Hello!
Hey!
Wow, that's a colour.
Good day.
There's a splash of colour.
What's it called? Bracken fern.
Bracken fern, mate.
Bracken fern.
Or dark green?
Hey, is this the daybed?
Bench seat.
Sit down, put your shoes on.
Look at the view.
And you know what, you still got good storage in here.
Yeah.
There's plenty... Great storage.
..of storage for this size room.
That's what I'm seeing. Great storage.
# You can just smile... #
Good luck, guys.
Thanks, guys. Alright, thanks, guys.
In house one, Keith and Dan are checking out
Tom and Sarah-Jane's newly designed and installed Kinsman robe.
We've just got the doorway to do.
Yeah, we got to paint the door.
The panel on the glass up top.
And we gotta paint the windowsill.
That's it. Yeah.
Love the room.
Thank you. Love it.
I was feeling like, oh, like it was a easy day,
like no painting, literally, easy day.
Just one little problem there.
I'd say major.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
And they were, like,
"Your window is not centred to the room."
It stands out, doesn't it, as soon as you walk in?
It's like what, 60...
It is like 600 either side...
..externally. 600 either side, externally.
And the window was centre
until the Kinsmans went in.
Tom didn't take into consideration that once you put the Kinsmans in,
then the windows aren't centre internally,
which is where you sleep and where you live in the house.
I don't sit outside and sleep looking at my external window.
It got worse.
But look, once your shutter goes on,
you're not gonna be able to open this.
Yeah, I know.
This is just so tight.
Yeah, it is. Yeah. Yeah.
I don't think Sarah-Jane was aware of it.
She's aware of it now.
And I think Tom's got a smack on the bum for it.
I can tell you, Shaynna's gonna come in with a plantation shutter
and she's gonna go, "I can't even get access, no."
I didn't know that you can really (BLEEP).
I didn't mean to get you in trouble, mate, I'm sorry.
Oh, I'm not worried.
So, I don't know how they're gonna fix it.
We sort of suggested try and get some curtains and a block-out blind,
but still, I don't know.
It's not gonna look right, is it, no matter what they do.
Did you get the measurements for me?
(BLEEP) rags hanging off the wall.
They're not going to be rags hanging off the wall.
God, you're dramatic.
Come here.
"Please, Sarah-Jane.
Thank you, Sarah-Jane." "No problems, Tom.
I'll come."
So... and how do you want these sheets?
Talk to me.
Should we go all the way to the corners?
No.
I disagree with them so you can pick them.
(SIGHS) Like, I'm not happy with that.
And now you're making me feel like
I'm not gonna be happy with this either
'cause you're talking about them as rags and I'm just trying to help.
I didn't create the issue.
I'm just trying to fix the issue.
Unfortunately, I think the judge is gonna walk in,
see the window off-centre and mark them down.
I think that Shaynna's gonna be (BLEEP), right?
So, straight away I'm like, "Oh, I can't have this shutter.
I need to go get curtains."
Eugh!
So, I got in the car. I went to Spotlight.
Crisis averted.
I have left Spotlight with curtains
that hopefully will look half decent.
And we'll see what everybody thinks once they're up.
I've got it, babe.
Just bring this pole in please.
Already hate it.
I thought you would've had it open by now.
I can't 'cause I'm trying not to tear it
'cause I want to return it if we don't use it and get money.
Telling you now you'd be returning it.
(GRUMBLES) Do you have a knife, please?
So, what do you actually want me to do
with this before I cut her off?
I want to thread the curtain through it.
So, more of it... I was gonna put it on the rod...
..and then get you to hold the rod on either side.
Oh, I can't stretch that far, babe.
We still need two ladders.
We have...Yeah. OK.
Grab the other ladder then, Tom.
Do it your way.
You do it your way how you would put the curtain up
so we can envision it
because everything that I'm doing is incorrect, so...
Move that out of the way. You go.
Which... What would you like to move out...
Tom!
Like, I just said, I'm trying to keep this up
and just like so we can return it.
It was $160 because of your mistake with the window
that I've gone and got this, I'm happy to try and fix it.
That looks good, Ricky.
What do you want from me?
I've asked you three times, can you please go and get a ladder?
That's what I would like from you.
Where is the ladder, Tom?
I don't know.
There's six of them here you could have picked from.
Who put that there? I'm done.
Tom, I will literally punch you in the (BLEEP) face.
Get out of my way, Tom.
Watch so you don't trip again.
(BLEEP) off.
Alright.
Are we putting it on the rail or not?
I want to put it on the rail. Yes, that's what I wanted to do.
Yes, and have a real proper visual, that's why I went out...
an hour out of my way, hour and a half, Tom.
I bought curtains, I felt so good.
I got a curtain rail, I got curtain hooks...
And then you bought the wrong ones.
Oh, no.
What happened there? Are you serious?
I don't know, I thought it just goes through the...
Through this. Through that.
They must go on the hooks.
And the curtain wasn't the right thing for the curtain...
Can't believe you stuffed that up.
I would have loved to have shut....
Oh, my god.
No.
Alright, let's get the shutter installed.
But that was a good hour and a half.
There you hook them up. Oh, (BLEEP) this.
I'll ring Dan from Carpet Court windows.
Yeah, well, that's not gonna work, eh?
I'm gonna lose my mind!
And I just was like, you know what, I'm done with life.
I'm done.
Where's she going?
She lost it. OK.
I actually don't even give a (BLEEP) that the blind hits the door.
Coming up, Sharon hits a wall big time.
Having a breakdown, Shaz, we should just leave, mate.
I want to leave.
I don't see how this is gonna go for ten weeks.
And later, the judges hit one too.
Oh. Oh!
Oh, no.
That...That's not good.
(DOG WHINES) (THUNDER RUMBLES)
(BIRDS CHIRPING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC)
In house one, a misplaced window has pushed Sarah-Jane over the edge.
That is me, I'm having a meltdown.
This is what a breakdown looks like. Hello.
So, I went outside, I cracked the big wobblies.
I got in the car to go to McCafe to buy,
to get a chai latte to make myself feel better.
I sped there, which I'm not allowed to speed, but I was very angry.
Then McCafe was closed, which just got me even angrier
'cause it was past 1:00 on a Saturday.
Why is she speeding?
Sped back and then I got in trouble for speeding.
Where did I speed?
Up there and back.
Yeah, cool. This is my first warning.
Take it.
I don't wanna have to come and talk about it again.
Tom's face was still there, staring at me on the deck.
I just was like, "Leave me alone!" I got the wrong curtains.
I'm just angry at myself.
I'm really, really, really angry at myself.
I cracked it because all I could think about was that stupid window
and that stupid door and those stupid shutters and stupid me for...
..buying the wrong bloody curtain. Yes.
That's what I was gonna say. Yeah, I can admit it.
I can admit when I'm at wrong.
Not like you, Mr We'll-keep-the-door-there.
Babe, I know I should have taken the shutter.
I don't care about the window. Anyways...
(TUTTING) I'm disagreeing with everybody.
I can't talk about it 'cause I'll cry, over a curtain.
I don't wanna cry over a curtain.
(SIGHS) I can't even return them
'cause they were in the clearance sale.
They don't take clearance back.
It's just like the cherry on top.
I can't believe we had to put those shutters back in there.
Doesn't matter though, I'm not gonna have...
The shutters that you didn't take into consideration...
I'm not gonna have a go at you about them, babe.
(SCOFFS) Because the window shouldn't even be there...
..um, yeah. I don't care about the window.
That's easy to fix... I care about the window.
(GROANS) I will get the... (INDISTINCT)
(MUSIC CRESCENDOS AND ENDS)
(GROANS) And then you know what, two hours later,
I went to the toilet and I realised I got my period.
So, there you go.
And every woman out there can totally agree, I'm hormonal.
It is natural to feel this way sometimes.
(SIGHS)
(BLEEP) my ears are sore.
I'm like deaf in one ear.
In house five, the boys have a bold plan
to lay polished concrete flooring across their entire living areas,
saving them heaps of time in the future.
But they need to run it by Dan.
Hi, boys.
Dan, how are you, mate?
How are we? Yeah, getting there.
There are boys at the back, wanna have a chat about that.
Oh, yeah, we wanna do the concrete floor.
Everywhere at the back, polished concrete?
If we can do that, that'll be amazing.
Now, if you do go down that road,
it's classes working ahead.
If someone has to work ahead,
there's only one way we get around that.
Yeah, we go to get everyone...
Got to call the body corp. Yeah.
So, with the body corp, it's majority rules,
but your vote doesn't count.
So, we need three votes.
You got three friends here?
I think we got four, but you just don't know with The Block.
I love it.
Shows the modern part to the old part of the house.
I actually think it's something that could win you The Block.
We just got to get over the line with everyone else.
Yeah.
Next door in house four,
Grafico have arrived with their feature wallpaper.
Well, it's all peel and stick so there's no glue or anything,
so it's not too difficult.
Oh. Says the bloke just standing there.
There you go. Yeah.
(LAUGHS) Kamil's...
Kamil makes it look very easy 'cause he's got lots of experience.
Sure does.
It's going up super fast.
Grafico was awesome.
I'm definitely gonna use them again like I'm so glad we did this wall.
Such a good feature.
Saturday afternoon on The Block is always the busiest time.
Pretty epic.
So, Omar and Oz have strategically
called their body corporate for 3pm.
And not everyone's happy.
Yeah, we... (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Yeah, so we had a body corporate today.
The boys called it.
At 3pm on a Saturday when we're all stressing,
trying to smash out the paint.
Do you know what I learned the most from that body corporate?
You call it at 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon
because everyone's just gonna give you a yes
then so they can get back to whatever it is they're doing.
What's going on?
I don't know. I was gonna ask.
Oh, how annoying. I know, I was like...
(LAUGHS) We've got so much to do.
We have to get back to the house because, like,
we need to get so much done.
Well, where are they?
And yep, they're taking their sweet time.
The shops close at 4:00.
We don't have time to be wasting on body corporate.
If they don't come in like five minutes, I'm going 'cause...
Here we go.
Oz pulls up with his cheeky smile.
We know he wants something from us.
Guys, we actually have to be really quick.
We got a lot to do. What's going on?
There is something in the backyard
that we want to get the approval by you guys.
Yeah, you can have it. Not in the backyard.
It's in the new modern extension...
Something got to do with the structural element
that we want to put in.
That will take longer than a week.
But the only problem is and the reason
why we had to get youse together,
it might be us doing something ahead,
but it doesn't mean that, "We don't have the same workload,"
it will be similar workload anyways.
What is it? Just tell us what it is. What is it?
Just friggin' spit it out, mate.
It's for our flooring. So, we want to do...
Polished concrete.
So, Tom's very clue-y.
He pretty much knew straight away that the reason
why we did get the body corporate was to get polished concrete.
Yeah, that's fine, mate.
Call your concreter.
What's the point of doing a body corporate
just to mess us around, mate?
This is like what we have to do to get our go ahead Block, so...
So, basically you guys wanna do polished concrete.
Yeah.
Why can't we all do polish concrete if we want to?
You can. I'm not saying...
You guys can do whatever you want.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hang on.
I think we're doing the same
and no-one's told us that we have to...
We asked today. And they said, "Yeah, that's fine.
But you got to ask the other contestants."
Oh, well, we need to do it too then.
Well, we haven't been told we need to ask everyone else.
Yeah, everyone can do whatever they like.
(LAUGHS) Done.
Guys, if it's exactly what we're thinking it is, then...
Then yes. ..like, yeah.
Whatever anyone wants to do, I don't care.
You wanna put a pole on your roof, put a pole on your roof.
You want an underground helipad, start doing it tomorrow.
Hey, guys. We're all in the same boat.
So, we've got the vote? House one? Yes.
Yeah, mate. Have it.
House two, house three... Love you guys.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Love you guys. Let's go.
What a Tree Change.
Do you reckon they know what they did?
I don't think they...
I think Tom does and I don't think he cares.
It's an advantage that other teams won't have.
All these rooms will be floored in one fell swoop.
Whoever's doing a timber floor, they got to do a sub floor.
Yep. Keith and I got to inspect it.
Yep.
Then you got to put yellow tongue down.
Yeah.
Then you got to do the Carpet Court flooring on top of that.
Yep.
These guys, there's a slab down.
You just got to get it got to polish it in one day,
and you're done.
It's a massive advantage for these areas.
And when we want something,
we hope that it's not an issue for anyone else either.
Yeah.
The other contestants, I don't think they understand
what they've agreed to.
It all comes down back to the costs.
I wonder if you four can get together and try and get the same...
Get it done at the same time. ..and get it cheaper.
You know, it's something that Rach and I have actually
put a lot of thought into the last couple of days.
So, let's liaise with... Yeah, let's do it.
That'd be real good, sign the contract on the same guy
that's doing it.
Get a better price. Done.
Done, done, done. Done. Appreciate it.
Told her about the price, right?
Boys, guys, thank you very much.
Good luck. See you later.
See youse tomorrow.
Best of luck to them.
We can come up with a great idea too.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, like... Not gonna stop someone from...
Doing something. That's what...
Like, if that's what they wanna do, go, like, do it.
I really like the shutters, hey?
I love that look
'cause of the way the light comes in through the curtain.
Next door, Omar and Oz are reflecting on nearing the end
of a very tough Ramadan.
The days are so much longer on The Block as you know,
you're pretty much working around the clock.
We knew the challenge that it was gonna bring.
We don't have much time, eh?
Yeah, I know. We're just gonna have to (BLEEP).
We've all had our moments throughout the day,
where we've been up and then down and it happens a lot on The Block.
Time really catches up to you on The Block.
You're literally just on the go from the moment you wake up
till whenever you fall asleep if you fall asleep.
Time, hard work equals no sleep.
(YAWNS)
So, tonight, we have a lot to do.
We have to finish painting, and we're painting this green wall
and we've got the most intricate details in our wall beading,
so it needs to be done right.
As you can see up here,
the detail where it meets the cornice...
if you get it wrong, then we're (BLEEP).
We're gonna be up a lot of the night tonight.
As is everyone else, including Ankur and Sharon.
Sharon's gone down the hall...
This always happens.
Saturday night deteriorates rapidly for me
'cause I just keep going far out,
and I'm already tired from last night.
It's just knowing what we had to do and looking at all the surfaces.
We've got so many nooks and crannies.
But if it's not done properly, it'll be an eyesore for everybody.
We've just been going through like
1.5 hours of everything's terrible.
It didn't only stop at this room,
it was like, how am I gonna do this for 12 weeks?
I'm really not enjoying it and I haven't enjoyed it.
This whole thing is so hectic
and then all I can see is like my future
of like 10 more weeks or 11 more weeks of this.
I used to be really bubbly, happy person.
And then a week ago, I came on The Block.
Can't say anything good.
Tell me one positive thing about all of this.
Tell me. This is going good.
Oh, god.
If you're having a breakdown, Shaz, we should just leave, mate.
I want to leave.
No hot showers.
There is no heating.
Mud, I do hate it here.
We're gonna have to figure it out.
I don't know, I don't know how to figure it out.
I think we leave.
Like I actually hate it here, like, I think it's all...
I'm telling him, like, basically I'm having a breakdown.
Yeah, you can do this for a week or two weeks per hour.
(ROOSTER CROWS)
I just don't understand and get humiliated again
after killing ourselves all week.
I hate that.
The sun is rising and we still have...
styling needs to be done, painting of arcs, vacuuming...
The headboard needs to go in.
The mattress needs to go in.
The linen needs to be put on.
Everything needs to be done.
Yes, that was a very difficult night.
Yeah, it looks beautiful this morning.
It looks gorgeous.
And see those trees?
They're the exact same trees that I've got on my wallpaper.
The Trees of Macedon is what I'm calling that wallpaper.
Jen's done a cracking job styling it.
It's hectic 'cause this is not my style at all,
but after seeing Scotty's and,
yeah, I think we got a bit of inspo there, didn't we?
Yeah. Bit of country inspo.
Of course, everyone turns to the style guru that is yours truly.
You get a big statement piece like this for 100 bucks.
That's what they all should be doing.
And you found it locally.
Locally, yeah.
It fits in perfectly.
Yeah, it fits like a glove, mate, doesn't it?
Beautiful.
Now, there's one team that seems to be missing in action.
Last night was full on, a lot happened.
I forgot pillows.
So, I drove to Kmart at 4am in the morning
to buy pillows because, apparently,
you need pillows in the guest bedroom.
Unbelievable.
7:45am, we actually got into bed
and we just wanted literally an hour nap.
We had finished everything.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Got the linen out, threw the linen on, ironed it.
Really think about it while you do it.
I'm... Sarah-Jane, I'm a plumber.
I'm not a housemaid.
I don't know how to do the ironing.
All the way down to the ends.
Alright, mate, go into the caravan, please.
Oh, my god, I'm just trying to help you.
You don't act like you've been in here slaving away.
I have. That's all I do.
Nice.
I'm so excited about this mirror.
This is actually the last one in Australia.
(TENSE MUSIC) Go, Scotty. He's got it.
(EXASPERATED) Ah!
You can get that in there, go on. You've got a minute to go.
Oh, it's a cracking day for judging.
So, maybe they'd be in a good mood?
('COMIN' HOME' BY THE RADIATORS PLAYS)

(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Hello, boys. Scott.
Scotty.
Good day, good day, good day.
Hello! Hello.
Oh, wow. Everybody looking flash!
Right me, you're all done up to the nines.
We're all done up.
I got the same clobber on every week.
(LAUGHTER)
Five superb guest bedrooms that I saw this morning.
Well, six if you include mine.
(LAUGHTER)
Now, Tom and Sarah-Jane, you have built your bedroom,
so now you can move out of Betsy the caravan.
Ah, amen. Exciting. That's a win.
(WIND WHOOSHES) (CROW CAWS)
And, Omar and Oz, you've got your occupational certificate,
so you can move into the house as well.
And you can celebrate the end of Ramadan
by eating throughout the day.
You've certainly done it, tough boys,
doing Ramadan and The Block at the same time.
Well done.
Alhamdulillah Ramadan is over, so we thank God
and farewell as you should,
for... pray tomorrow morning?
Farewell and then coffees.
Coffees in the morning, mate. It is what it is.
Can't wait.
OK, who's gonna get their hands on the 10,000 bucks from Ford
and that magnificent mature tree
that you can plant in your garden and get ahead of landscape?
But, hey, did I mention the prize for landscape week?
Have I told you that yet? No.
I've forgotten.
The winner of week 12 gets that.
The brand-new Next-Generation Ford Ranger Ute.
Oh, my god! Imagine if you won a car.
I'd be stoked!
Even if I like lost The Block, I'd be stoked if I won a car.
That is a ripping vehicle, let me tell you.
That'd be grand. Wow!
That is the Next-Generation.
The winner of week 12 gets that car.
Oh, my god!
Yeah, see how important it is to save money for landscape?
Yeah. OK.
That is ten weeks away.
Tonight, your week two bedrooms.
Let's find out what the judges had to say
with some feedback.

Tom and Sarah-Jane...

(CLASSICAL MUSIC)
This week is all about being smarter with budget.
The more Tom works,
the less money we have to pay somebody else.
So, smaller rooms, spend less, is that your theory?
Yeah.
Along with saving money,
Tom and Sarah-Jane have decided to convert the old kitchen
into their guest bedroom.
Then my linen is gonna be the colour of autumn leaves.
Baby poo.
Oh, that looks like a bit of asbestos.
More delays, more delays.
Wednesday was plaster.
That was what happened Wednesday, it was plastering.
That was Wednesday. Yeah.
Whoo! (LAUGHS)
We got Woody. We got...
(LAUGHS) We got David Wood.
The judges are probably in the room right now
and I hope they realise how beautiful my wallpaper is
and how plush my linen is.
And they just like it.
('SONNENTANZ (SUN DON'T SHINE)' BY KLANGKARUSSELL PLAYS)
# Singing the sun don't shine
# The sun don't shine
# The sun don't shine without you
# Without you... #
Wow!
What a lovely colour palette they all thought
on entering your room today.
Very autumn, and in a room with a soaring ceiling,
Neale said...
Tom and Sarah-Jane are demonstrating a real sophistication.
I think when people think Sarah-Jane,
the next word they think is sophistication.
So, yeah, I'm not shocked at all.
Shaynna was loving those bedside tables.
Yeah, they are beautiful.
But they're understanding texture and that's what makes it so warm.
We've got the texture in the comfort.
And we've got the texture in the cushions.
We've got the texture in the bedsides.
And then this beautiful wallpaper that's really subtle.
Which reminded her very much of the trees in my garden.
Shaynna also thinks the Kinsman wardrobes
you installed are awesome.
Yeah, the size of the wardrobe, it's like that's the whole area.
Yeah.
Neale noticed you had reused the light
from your House Decider Challenge room.
Good that. They're recycling. That's OK.
Yeah. Totally fine.
And we know that that's the one that throws
the beautiful pattern onto the ceiling.
Darren also noticed the other heritage features,
the corners...
All the detailing is really simple.
I love this wainscoting idea.
And like, that's just Gyproc with some quad.
Yeah.
It's such a simple, easy,
cheap way to make a wall look really glamorous.
Yeah.
I love how it lines up underneath the window there.
And those plantation shutters have a place to really shine
and frame that beautiful view.
And that the panel above the door was sealed this week
to keep the heat in and the noise out.
I mean, it's early days in the competition, I know,
but Tom and Sarah-Jane seem to be demonstrating
that they can hit that sweet spot
between heritage and contemporary and between town and country.
And just the little touches like the wall sconces
and over in the corner there, they've got a couple of candles,
it's really charming.
Shaynna thinks your execution is superb once again.
Paintwork is excellent.
Oh, well, the... I know it's excellent.
I don't need Shaynna to tell me, me paint's excellent.
I know it's excellent.
He's getting... But thank you, Shaynna.
I appreciate it. He is getting well, yeah.
The only thing I would say
and this is just your calling it sophistication and charming...
Mm-hm. Charming. ..and Charming.
..is that just that little extra layer
and it's a nitpick,
don't do a 7.99, um... you know?
Because it makes it look...
What it does, it makes it look worse.
So, if you don't have that,
it still will look fantastic
'cause you go, "I can put my robes there."
And the colour of it is plain wrong for the room.
It was $60.
(LAUGHTER)
It's a $60 robe.
Was it? I promise.
(LAUGHTER)
Well, it didn't look like it to her.
They know this can sound like nitpicking,
but as this is the first room they'd looked at,
they were hoping it's not the robe that loses you 10,000 bucks.
Yeah.
Shaynna went looking through the wardrobes,
looking for some long hanging space
and she found it in the cupboard by the window.
Mmm.
We've got...
Oh. Ooh.
Oh, no.
That...
Wow!
That comes... That's huge.
That's not good. That is not good.
That's almost unusable because you can't get in there.
Everything was going fantastically until.
And the room started to unravel for the judges.
(TOM CHUCKLES)
The real problem isn't the wardrobe.
No.
It's the window. It's in the wrong place.
No. Yep.
So, to me, that's a really big thing.
Yeah, fair enough. Because to fix that.
They would have to move the window
or they would have to get rid of this bulkhead,
which means they would have to get rid of the corners.
So, they're not going to resolve that quickly.
There's a lot of things involved in fixing that error.
It's centre of the way the board's outside.
Yeah, and no-one lays in their bed outside.
Well, it's the facade, and to me, it's more important.
OK, well, internal is more important.
The window is staying. Yeah, it's moving.
OK, well, that's a fairly major issue of functionality.
Mmm.
I bet Tom and Sarah-Jane are wishing we'd stopped
at the dressing gown on the back of the door.
I totally agree with the judges, and when it was pointed out to me,
I could not believe that it wasn't made to be centred.
But it was all too late, and apparently not an issue.
Functionality always overrules, always.
That's it. End of feedback. Thank you.
(APPLAUSE) Well done!
That's good feedback.
The window's staying centre.
I don't care what they think.
I'd be more concerned... And my $60 robe...
That's what's let us down. ..$60 robe...
That was not what let us down, Thomas.
Can't believe it. You let us down.
It was... Yeah, anyways...
Where did you go for that, the op shop?
I'm about to take you to the op shop and leave you there.
Discount area 20 cents.
Suits me. Awesome.

# I still feel alive

# Falling forward... #
Rachel and Ryan.
Everyone keeps telling us, "Be country,
be country, be country."
Look out your window, we're in the country.
To me, it doesn't speak to country at all.
This week was...
nice.
This week was fast.
Our bathroom, we went too contemporary.
Uh-huh.
So, we need to bring it into a little bit more country.
Uh-huh.
Because if we ever get a 7 again, I'm gonna flip that board.
Rachel and Ryan have placed their country-inspired room here
at the front of the house.
If we can do that above the bed, it's gonna be a good room.
It's gonna be a nice room. We're really confident.
We've added some country touches.
I'm proud of the room as a whole.
We have stayed well within our budget,
but we have still presented,
and we'll still be revealing a room
that looks like it's a million bucks.
And I hope it's enough for them 'cause they're not getting any more.
('I BELONG HERE' BY SET MO PLAYS)
# I just keep believing
# That I, I belong here
# I belong here
# Oh... #
Oh.
# I belong here I belong here... #
(LAUGHS) Look at this.
Shaynna was first in today and did a twirl around the space.
Look, I can do this.
How crazy is that?
Almost as crazy as watching you do it.
Mm, that, you know, you've worked with me long enough.
(LAUGHS)
This feels so lovely.
Shaynna loved the bespoke wall panelling.
Absolutely beautiful.
I really like a contemporary take on a VJ,
which is sort of what it is.
And I love the linen palette.
I first walk in here and it's got a beautiful feel,
I think the sense of space really helps with it.
The country touches, the heritage touches
that are in here are interesting,
because like the panelling that you've just drawn attention to,
it's not traditional,
but it is a nod towards something that is traditional.
And that interests me.
Darren was also a fan of the panelling.
But he didn't like the application of the paint on it.
It is really messy.
I can see every brush stroke
where it's met with dry paint and wet paint.
I can see every roller mark.
I can see every imperfection on that paint.
And it's...it's distressing me
because it needs to be so sharp and precise
to work as well as it should.
Also, I don't love the colour.
For Neale, the colour palette works.
But I think that's because I particularly love this blue green.
It's a sort of peacock colour.
I call this a Moroccan green,
and I have touches of it in my own home.
But I absolutely, take your point down
that it's been so badly applied.
I mean, look at the top up there, too.
There is a slight disconnect.
I mean, my advice to Rachel and Ryan would be, "OK, guys,
this is what you're doing.
You're obviously doing this modern take on country, which is fine.
But don't take it any more contemporary than it is."
He did have some concern around the furniture choices.
He thinks that contemporary furniture
may be too urban
and then it could afford to be a little bit more country
to appeal to the market.
I feel it's a good room, but it could have been a great room.
And I think there are things that I would love to change out in here.
I mean, the chair I actually love, but it doesn't feel right.
What I would have loved to have seen in here
is a contemporary take
on a really traditional high-backed armchair.
There are lots of them around.
The overall look of the room for Shaynna is great.
But some of the details let it down for her.
When you've got these magnificent ceilings,
you've got those big cornices.
You draw your eye to the cornice because it gets a bit lost.
You take your curtain to the ceiling.
Yeah.
You take it to the underside of the cornice,
and it just absolutely adds elegance to that.
And I think the wall sconces, they're ambient,
they're not actually ones that you can read a book
and they're so high
because they're not gonna give enough light.
And also, there's so much light in here.
Sometimes you put things in for the sake of putting them in.
I don't understand the skylight.
And I don't think it adds to the room.
So, there's money that you've paid for costs of doing that.
So, to me, that's just...
(INHALES THROUGH TEETH) Yeah.
On to the wardrobes and she really loved those.
We'll have a look inside the wardrobes
and make sure that they open properly too
because that could be something that...
You know what I love, the fact that we've got the two-tone.
It absolutely connects
with what's happening outside with gum trees.
And just I think it's beautiful.
How beautiful are the handles. Beautiful.
And I'm loving that mirror. Yeah.
Absolutely love the shape of it. I think it's gorgeous.
Shaynna understands
you're doing a very contemporary version of country
and she certainly feels that it can work.
I think they've got to remember that
there is a new build behind them that will be connected.
Knock yourselves out
when you're in the contemporary sort of new build,
but pay respect to the building you're in.
(HORSE NEIGHS)
Can you hear the horse outside?
I can. How beautiful is that!
We are really in the country, aren't we?
Yeah, it's awesome.
We've done the cornices. We've done the skirtings.
We've held on to some of the heritage items.
What more would they like? A horse going through our house?
(HORSE NEIGHS)
But in the weeks ahead,
in the many rooms you have left to deliver,
she just wants your rooms to hug her a little more.
That's it.
(APPLAUSE)
Well done.
We're still learning.
So, it's great to have this kind of knowledge and feedback
from, you know, masters of their craft.
But we have to follow our gut instinct
because if we follow our gut instinct
and we're wrong at the very end,
at least we stayed true to ourselves.
If we change completely and we do what the judges want
and then we're wrong in the end and we don't get a successful buyer,
then it's their fault.
And then I'll give Shaynna a hug.

# Don't be so hard on yourself, no
# Learn to forgive, learn to let go
# Everyone trips, Everyone falls... #
Ankur and Sharon.
Ahh... Uh, hmm.
(LAUGHS) What are you gonna do to us?
This week was tough.
It just feels like I just got it completely wrong.
Something about it is not feeling authentic.
I'm over it and it's week one.
Steer away from the dark side of things
and get into this light, bright, sort of...
More country. ..more country style.
More specific country.
Ankur and Sharon's guest bedroom is located here
right next door to their controversial bathroom.
We are definitely doing a study nook in here.
So, I didn't get the VELUX in the bathroom,
so I was very keen to get the VELUX in the bedroom.
It'll look terrible.
Oh, man, this is the same as last week.
I was trying to get a VELUX in last week,
and all of these guys were like, "No, no, no."
Bloody hell.
I never get what I want in this bitch.
Did I just come up with a solve potentially?
This is the challenge. OK, here we go.
The challenge was to find out what sort of clients
are going to be buying your house.
And Sharon's role on 'Neighbours' didn't hurt.
'Neighbours' gave me a huge advantage
when it came to this challenge
because my character was the nosiest on the show.
How long have you been living here for?
How many of you guys live here?
Is the want to buy in these areas still at that level
as it was at the start?
Three was first.
Yeah!
Yay, we won something.
I just wanna be in the race
where potentially we can play the gnome.
Taking the lessons that we've learned
from the feedback, the VJ panelling has to go in here.
I think we're both worried about how it's gonna make me feel
if we get negative criticism from the judges this week
because that's the...a rabbit hole we don't wanna go down
and, yeah, I don't wanna feel like that again.
('HOW I FEEL' BY MARTIN IKIN PLAYS)
# Yeah, yeah Ah, yeah, for real
# This is not a game... #
Wow!
We finally see light and bright from Ankur and Sharon.
Neale immediately said, gut feeling...
Ankur and Sharon are back in the game.
Mm-hm.
Yay. Yes.
He found the room to be very warm and welcoming.
I mean last week,
Ankur and Sharon delivered a bathroom
that I felt was very cold.
It was very overwhelmingly grey.
This week I feel the complete opposite.
I think this is another charming room
full of beautiful traditional touches
and a lovely colour palette.
Darren was also loving white and bright.
I mean, look at that, that's really beautifully chosen,
that colour is warm and creamy.
It just, it feels just right for this house.
Once again today,
they were loving the heritage details.
You know, look at the beautiful arcs, the skirts.
Look at this fireplace! Look at this!
And I actually love the styling there.
It's really... You know, that probably was down
in the dig somewhere and I'm just loving all the brush
in there and the twigs and...
Shaynna thinks the bedhead is stunning.
I liked it too 'cause that's the same bedhead
I put in my bedroom.
Yeah, I saw it. Stop copying me, Scotty.
Darren said, "Ankur and Sharon clearly have an eye for detail."
I feel it's got a lot of character,
the bedhead and the shape, the bedside.
I mean, the colours aren't exactly right.
But they're close and it works for me.
I love that we've got lamps instead of sconces.
Yes.
I love everything that I'm seeing through there
in terms of the bed, the rug, everything on the bed,
I really think that is super gorgeous.
Now, the skylight in here works super, super well as well.
It frames up this window. The window has that gorgeous view.
So, that whole thing, even the light with the rose, it's just glorious.
Everything lifts your eye upwards into the sky.
And I think that works really, really well.
But sadly, once your eye rests there,
it's a bit of a mess.
It is a dog's breakfast, that ceiling,
like it needs another coat or two of ceiling white
or just paint the whole thing the wall white, whatever it is.
Neale liked the hunting lodge feel of the pendant light,
but he feels the ceiling rose is way too close to the skylight.
It gives me this overwhelming urge to move it back in
a few millimetres
'cause it just feels like it's too close.
But despite these things, he says, "Give me more of this
because the things you've got right in this room are sublime."
The whole room feels very authentic to Neale.
You know, in a room that has come together over a period of time,
it gets like that patina of age and, you know,
there are things in the room
that you love more than other things,
but you've acquired them over a period of time.
That's how this room feels to me,
even though it's come together over a period of,
what, three days, four days, max.
I'm loving the mismatch.
I'm loving, you know, the leather on the chair.
I'm loving the leather on these handles, which is stunning.
Aesthetically, the feeling of this room, I love.
I want to see this tone,
this character all the way through the house.
Yes.
This works.
The Kinsman wardrobe really impressed.
Shelves and drawers, which is great.
And what have we got here?
Oh, one that opens up against the wall.
That's handy.
Long and... Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Our first mirror. Great.
And that's perfect
because that's where you'd stand back.
Yep. And wow.
"This room shows that you are adventurous,
and that's great to see.
But those dried flowers are terrible."
This does remind me why I dislike dried flowers so much.
Just go outside and put some beautiful fresh leaves...
Yeah. ..in that vase, please.
No more of that.
There's dried flowers and there's dead flowers.
(LAUGHS) I just got them from the backyard.
So, I didn't have time to go to the florist...
Oh, they're from the backyard? They're from the backyard.
OK, that's it. Well done.
OK. Well done.
(APPLAUSE)
Biggest takeaway, I think,
is though that we're doing the house justice,
which is what I felt a lot of pressure
'cause I honestly do think it's the best house on The Block.
It's the house, there's such a character to it
and you just don't wanna do it a dishonour.

Today, we just wanna get the demolition

I had completely different ideas on Monday.
I was gonna do a big green bedhead and like floral wallpaper.
And then I just like had a think about it for a second.
Glad we didn't go down that path.
Dylan and Jenny's guest bedroom is north facing
and they are the only team to have a walk-in robe this week.
Keith and Dan said it wasn't like quite safe.
Mate, I reckon we have to stop.
Oh, no, we were just have... We didn't even realise.
Mate, look at that. Look at that.
No, I know, it'll be safe.
I reckon we shut youse down.

I was like, "No, please don't,
I promise, like we'll go chat to them.
We'll make it safe. We'll clean up."
So, we decided to put a lovely big chair in the corner.
So, when you sit there, you can just look out the window
and look at Red Rock.
So, you're just gonna sit there,

('TRUE' BY NORA EN PURE PLAYS)
Neale walked in today, and the first thing he said is...
I want the bedspread.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Is this Dylan and Jenny's room? Yes, it is.
The bathroom they said that just had good bones,
but they need to get some personality and soul into it?
Yep.
Best students ever!
Ooh, yay!
(LAUGHS)
Darren said, "I'm in love with this."
Ooh.
And that big oversized check is just heaven.
What a beautiful, beautiful colour palette.
It's lush. It's luxury.
It's heaven.
And I'm in love.
Neale thinks if you're a guest in this bedroom,
you would never want to leave.
That's the plan.
There is a lot in here too in terms of spend and labour.
I mean, this is not a cheap room. This is an expensive room.
The manpower to do these skylights and, you know,
this niching and all the cornicing is really quite a complex room.
Neale had a similar reaction to the feeling
he had in house three.
It feels established.
It feels like a room that's been here
for a while, for a long time.
And it's got that sense of comfort.
I mean, look at that...look at the whisky there.
I'm sorry, what sort of comfort were you talking about?
I'm talking about that. What are we gonna talk about?
I hadn't even noticed that.
But I'm talking about that kind of comfort.
And just the little touches like the Akubra on the wall.
It's a masterclass in interior design.
Ooh!
That's high praise for a couple of chippies, innit?
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
I won't be... Flying by the city of hits.
I won't be taking any of that.
(LAUGHTER)
But... Oh, no.
There's one thing that didn't make sense to Darren.
The way the sheers are set up
with the shutters is too clumsy to open.
And like...
Yeah, see, because of this... Yeah.
..they're fixed on one end,
to open or close, you have to do this.
And that's not gonna work, is it?
Yeah. That doesn't work.
When he was installing it, he was thinking that,
but it was a bit too late.
Yes, but if they can get it to function properly,
so how can they do that?
Extending the sheers
and changing the hinges on the shutters.
Yeah. Yeah.
What he did love is the carpet
and the scale of everything else in the room,
saying, "It's brilliant.
It's really, really brilliant." Ooh.
Shaynna thinks the wardrobe is amazing.
It's all the things... Hey.
(WHISTLES) (DOG WHINES)
Sit down, you knucklehead. Sit.
It's all the things you could ever want
and is styled to perfection.
You've got some long-hang double drawers.
You got more hanging. You got shelves.
Um, hot couple.
And she clocked the photo in the frame
which was a picture of you guys, was it?
Yeah. (LAUGHS) Yes.
(LAUGHTER)
And she said, "This is the hot couple."
(LAUGHTER)
Must have had some good light on you, Dylan.
(LAUGHTER)
I won't be taking that.
There's only just a few little styling tweaks for me
is that one of the biggest things as we know, please,
you don't feel like you have to fill every corner
and having that in the corner, it's so unnecessary.
The bedside tables because of the scale of this
and it's sumptuous and luxurious, I'd like to see a bigger bedside
and I'm sure you would agree with me,
I prefer to see lamps that are twice the size
because everything's about being large.
But I feel like this isn't the couple
I saw last week.
You know, their execution and their beautiful construction,
you can't fault it, you cannot fault it.
"More of this every week for the next ten weeks.
This room is very hard to fault."
Because I feel like these guys have soaked everything up
and said, "OK, if that's what you want,
here we go," and like, poof!
"It's a room that is going to be very exciting for a buyer."
That's it. Yay!
(APPLAUSE) Well done!
Was actually really getting a bit worried
'cause I was like (BLEEP) is it...

Shelley loved the floors
and I think that's a big part in any guest bedroom.
I like that chocolate. This is lovely.
Yeah, we're the only ones out of the five
who's done floorboards.
I just want them to understand that we've got a very small house.
It's a small guest bedroom.
And so what we did, the way we executed the room,
it's the best we can.
I'm actually excited to see what they'll say.
('SOMETHING ABOUT YOU' BY HAYDEN JAMES PLAYS)
Oh.
You guys are full of surprises.
It's unexpected.
I think in terms of the structure of the room,
I really like the position and I like the scale.
I like the skylights.
I think, again, we've got nice cornices and architraves.
I really like the VJ around the top.
And that super-high picture rail,
it actually accentuates the height of these rooms.
That's quite remarkable
'cause it should make it feel shorter,
but I guess it's 'cause all these vertical lines,
but it works really, really well.
And have you noticed the shelf up here?
Yes.
Love the floors.
I love a herringbone board.
Which works with the herringbone in their bathroom.
Shaynna also likes the herringbone on the floor
but worries about how cold the room will be in winter.
Where we are at the moment,
unless they've got underfloor heating
or panel heating or something like that,
this is going to be the ultimate cold room and for a bedroom.
So, that's a real functionality issue
for her in a bedroom,
especially one in the Macedon Ranges where she lives too.
And for Shaynna, all of the horizontal lines
weren't really working for her.
There's so many.
You've got the line of the window,
the line of the VJ, the line of the shelf.
You got the line of the window.
You got the line of the door,
and you've got the line of the wardrobes,
and none of them work.
"It's a bit too busy."
Neale, however, was blown away by the level of sophistication.
Like last week, it shouldn't work, but it does.
You know, I don't love the bedside cabinets.
But they work OK, against that beautiful sage green.
Are those cushions on the bed all the right mix?
No, they're not.
But somehow they've arranged them so artfully
that you can't help but be impressed by the, sort of, professionalism,
and it's like a hotel room.
But it didn't all work for him.
I guess my least favourite thing, to be honest with you,
is what they've chosen for the wardrobes.
This doesn't gel with me in this room.
I would have liked to have seen something more traditional.
This... It's feeling very cold
and at odds with the intimacy
they're trying to create here in the room.
He also felt the artwork was too generic.
(BLEEP).
I think they could have chosen something...
far more welcoming, far more emotional, emotive.
I mean, art is such a personal thing.
And when Shaynna checked out the wardrobe, by the mirror...
We've got a mirror, that's a really good mirror.
We got drawers.
How are you meant to open the drawers?
So, you can't... Like, you've got...
Because of the mirror? Because of the mirror.
So, as much as it's beautiful, the mirror doesn't work
because you can't actually open the drawers.
That's the problem.
Got it.
So, another functionality issue as well.
Darren liked the window treatment.
It does show me that there's a better solution
for house four with a blind and a sheer
for these views, for these...
Yeah. Yeah.
Like that house would have been better with a setup like this.
One thing you are getting almost spot on is your execution.
The paintwork is excellent.
All of the judges agreed on that.
Neale is really intrigued by you guys.
And he's a fan.
I'm at that stage where I'm still finding them
intriguing and interesting.
And they seem to be sort of pushing the envelope,
but I'm not sure where they're pushing the envelope,
in what direction.
There comes that point
when experimental and innovative
actually starts to become dysfunctional,
if they try something different in each room of the house.
So, I'm not sure where this style is taking them.
He's afraid that there will be a point soon
where he will end up having to say, "It shouldn't work and it doesn't."
It's really not so clear to see where these guys are going
as the other houses that we've been in today.
Mmm.
Because it's beautifully presented, but what is it?
But well done to you and to everybody
for some great feedback tonight.
That was really good feedback. Well done.
(APPLAUSE)
It wasn't as bad as I expected.
Like what the judges did say didn't make a lot of sense.
So, it wasn't like, it was like awful.
It was like there, but not quite there.
So, it was alright, it was alright for a guest bedroom.
OK, it's score time.
Coming up, it's anyone's game with scores neck and neck.
Don't forget our little green friend
might be in play.
The winner of week two on The Block Tree Change
by half a point is...

Welcome back to HQ
and my favourite time of the week.
OK, Tom and Sarah-Jane, Darren Palmer.
Ten.
Oh, (BLOWS RASPBERRY). Ten, my...
Yeah, no thanks, Thomas, thanks to you.
I love this wainscoting idea.
It's such a simple, easy, cheap way to make a wall
look really glamorous.
Nice 8. Rachel and Ryan.
Everything that I see for the bed
and the bedhead and on the bed, I love.
Ooh.
Ankur and Sharon.
Everything on the bed,
I really think that is super gorgeous.
Ooh, good work! (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Yeah, girl. Dylan and Jenny.
There is a lot in here too in terms of spend and labour.
This is not a cheap room.
Well done.
Omar and Oz.
I really like the position.
I like the scale. I like the skylights.
Some very high scores. Well done, everybody.
We're gonna be losers, right at the bottom.
Oh, can't wait to be a loser...
Shaynna Blaze, Tom and Sarah-Jane.
She's tough.
Ah, that's not good.
Perfect.
Just what I wanted.
Rachel and Ryan.
I first walk in here and it's got a beautiful feel.
I think the sense of space really helps with it.
Ankur and Sharon.
We finally see light and bright from Ankur and Sharon.
Oh, I thought Shaynna hated us.
Dylan and Jenny.
These guys have soaked everything up and said, "OK,
if that's what you want, here we go," and like, poof!
Oh!
Omar and Oz.
This is going to be the ultimate cold room.
Uh... Yeah.
I'm nervous.
I'll see you in a bit. It's gonna be tight.
I'm just gonna explode.
Oh, you know, what, I completely forgot.
No, you didn't. You've got the gnome.
Ankur and Sharon, what would you like to do?
Oh, do we have to decide now?
Correct. You got ten seconds.
Yeah, you have to plan.
What are the odds, eh?
We'll play, Scotty. Playing?
Playing it.
Roger that.
Making me feel sick.
Neale Whitaker, Tom and Sarah-Jane.
Tom and Sarah-Jane are demonstrating a real sophistication.
Rachel and Ryan.
I particularly love this blue green.
It's a sort of peacock colour
and I have touches of it in my own home.
Ankur and Sharon.
Ankur and Sharon are back in the game.
Plus one.
Oh, this sucks.
Dylan and Jenny.
It feels like a room that's been here for a long time
and it's got that sense of comfort.
And Omar and Oz.
It's beautifully presented, but what is it?
OK, totals.
OK.
The winner of week two on The Block Tree Change
is by half a point,
it's... Ankur and Sharon.
Oh, my god.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
(APPLAUSE) I'm so sorry.
We won! We won!
Well done. Yay!
All the pain you go through, it was worth it.
Was worth it? Well done. Yeah.
Yeah, it's worth it.
Oh, what a comeback! Good job. (CROSSTALK OF CONGRATULATIONS)
OK.
Hut!
Well done.
Congratulations, Ankur and Sharon.
Never mind, Dylan and Jenny. I know!
You had it. Oh, I'm off it, eh?
You're off it? No more half a point.
I'm done with it. (LAUGHS)
Well, you can see how important challenges are...
Yes. Yeah.
..when the gnome is up for grabs.
Yep, that naughty little gnome
gave Ankur and Sharon a very narrow win with 27 points.
So, I'm actually quite shocked that we won
because I didn't think that that was possible for us,
just 'cause the last two weeks were so...
And it feels really silly saying it because, you know,
we're in a privileged position of making this beautiful house,
but it's just been really tough.
Coming in a very close second for the second time
were Dylan and Jenny on 26.5 points.
That bloody gnome. I feel so pissed off to be honest.
Rachel and Ryan took third place scoring 24.5 points.
Look, it is what it is.
We gave them as much country as they're gonna get.
And in equal last was Tom and Sarah-Jane and Omar and Oz,
with 23.5 points.
Definitely disappointed on how... We don't know.
..what happened, very competitive.
Equal fourth.
We're stoked. Didn't come fifth, so we're winners.
Alright, congratulations, guys.
10,000 bucks from Ford
and that incredible mature tree coming your way
first thing tomorrow morning from Ford as well,
that you can plant in your garden,
maybe one step closer
to the Next-Gen Ford Ranger for you guys.
OK, next week, we're heading back to the bathroom.
You'll be doing your master ensuite.
Oh, no.
Fantastic. Well...
Great fun.
Suncorp will give you a budget of $22,000.
Ooh!
Don't spend it all, please.
Think about landscape week.
Alright, goodnight. Good luck. See you later.

(CAN-CAN MUSIC) Let's go!
The fire in the bathroom...
SARAH-JANE: How country's that?!
(NASALLY) You're welcome.
..the tub of in-spa-ration... (BUBBLING)
This is the 'wow' piece.
It was in the 1970s.
Who's got the tools?

Yeah. She's a double hammer-er.
