Thanks for your company, goodnight.
SCOTT: Previously on The Block...
..judging for last week's guest bedroom
came down to the wire
between House 3...
Ankur and Sharon. DARREN: That is super gorgeous.
NEALE: Ankur and Sharon are back in again.
(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)
..and House 4.
SHAYNNA: These guys stacked everything up and said,
"OK, if that's what you want, here we go." And... (EXCLAIMS)
With scores neck-and-neck, it was time for a twist.
Ankur and Sharon, you've got the gnome.
What are the odds, hey?
What would you like to do? Play it, Scotty.
Play it? Playing it.
Roger that. Going to be tight.
Making me feel sick.
My tummy is going to explode.
The winner of week two on The Block tree change by half a point
it's Ankur and Sharon.
Oh, my God.
BOTH: We won!
That bloody gnome. I feel so pissed off.
Tonight we kick off master en suite week.
I like this.
You can get two people in there.
Jenny is stressed.
I just can't think straight. It's all good. Take a deep breath.
(BLEEP) me. (BLEEP) me.
Sharon has a secret weapon.
I think it's an awesome idea. Yay!
Put your good vibes on it
and then maybe we've got a chance this week as well.
Sarah-Jane is spewing.
I'm dead! WOMAN ON PHONE: Yep. Yep
I'm dead! (STAMMERS)
I just can't even comprehend.
100%. 100%.
Dead.
So let's all pray for Tom together, alright, guys?
(LAUGHS)
It's the first day of master en suite week on The Block.
It's also a very special day for the boys of House 5
Omar and Oz.
Ramadan is done.
We got Eid prayers coming up.
On the way to the mosque to celebrate Eid.
(SPEAKS ARABIC) Much love.
Much love, let's go.
Meanwhile back on site, Ankur and Sharon in House 3 are waking up
to some very excited tradies.
Morning. I am bouncing off the walls.
..after last night's guest bedroom win.
Hello. (SHARON CHEERS)
We won. I can't believe it. Did not expect that to happen whatsoever.
Yeah, we won by way of the gnome
but just felt like our hard work had paid off as well.
Do you like it? Very nice.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
So now we've won three things in a row. We've got to keep going.
Good things come in threes.
(CHUCKLES)
Unfortunately, over in House two,
things aren't so chipper for Rachel and Ryan.
The judges feedback from last night's room reveal
has left Rach a little deflated.
We are still not meeting the mark on the country.
We have a vision for our whole house,
and it does include lots of country.
When people tell me I'm not doing enough country,
I know what's coming.
We can only take on board what the judges say to an extent
because we have to think of about our overall vision,
so we'll stick to our guns.
I'm gonna watch my face.
Firstly, wash your face, then stick to your guns.
Over in House 1, Tom and Sarah-Jane are getting into some pillow talk.
Nah, it'd be 500mm. It'd be 2900.
Ooh, 2900.
I've already ordered all the Villaboard.
Villaboard! I've already put the order through.
The Scyon flooring. Scyon!
And then all the Aquachek we should have already.
Aquachek?! Don't be so inappropriate, Tom.
Yeah.
MAN: What time are you starting to look at these other rooms, mate?
Um, yeah.
(FARTS LOUDLY)
(EXCLAIMS) Oh, my God.
Right, well, time to look at those other rooms,
or as we know it, the Domain open for inspections.
Have you cooked us anything? 'Cause we are hungry.
Oh, my God. I was going to. Starving!
And then I woke up and thought, "No, I don't give a (BLEEP)."
Now that that's out of the way,
for last week's guest bedroom, Tom and Sarah-Jane in House 1
came equal fourth with 23.5 points.
Oh beautiful. Oh, I love this.
So nice. Yeah, I love it.
I really like that look. I feel it looks really luxe.
Beautiful wallpaper that's really subtle.
Tom and Sarah-Jane are demonstrating a real sophistication.
Everything was going fantastically until...
(THUD! BOTH: Ooh.
That's not good. That's almost unusable.
Yeah, I wonder why I didn't shift that over and make it centred.
That would've made it so much more sense.
Cupboard functionality was also an issue for Oz and Omar House 5.
How are you meant to open the drawers?
Because of that mirror, you can't...
It's feeling very cold
and at odds with the intimacy they're trying to create.
They also scored 23.5 points and came in equal fourth.
I don't love it. Nah.
It just doesn't make sense to me.
Super generic. It's nothing special. It's meh.
Rachel and Ryan in House 2 nabbed third position with 24.5 points.
They are obviously doing this modern take on country,
which is fine, but don't take it any more contemporary than it is.
I don't like the cupboard colour.
I think the cupboards are lovely.
I don't like the cupboard handles.
I think they picked the best handles for that cupboard.
Don't love this room.
I feel like I like everything.
Coming in second spot last night were Dylan and Jenny from House 4.
What a beautiful, beautiful colour palette.
It's lush, it's luxury
and I'm in love.
They basically won guest bedroom week with 26.5 points,
but were gazumped by Anks and Shaz
when they played the gnome and won with a bonus point.
Relegating Dylan and Jenny to second place.
Oh, how good is this? Oh, I love this.
How good's the wardrobe section? Yeah, the wardrobe's amazing.
That's brilliant.
This is insane. Nobody else has got a walk-in.
This is a winning room.
This is nicer than mine, nicer than 2. Nicer than 3.
Good on them. They are great tradesmen and women.
They've done a really good job. Gorgeous.
They nailed it. 100%.
Jen and Dylan deserved to win. Yep. Absolutely.
In terms of us and Jen and Dylan
their room was really well thought out, more labour-intensive,
and the execution was on-point so they deserve to win based on that.
I'd be fuming if I were them.
This is cosy. You walk in here and you feel really comfy.
I love this. Yeah, good job. Real good job, guys.
Seeing other people's rooms like Dyl and Jen's,
and just thinking, "Wow."
The thought and the planning and all that has been put into this room,
the execution is phenomenal.
It just looks like a lot of detail in that bedroom, man.
The wall panelling, the wainscoting. The archway.
Yeah. It's (BLEEP) detailed.
We need to step it up, hard. We need to step it up.
And now the moment of truth.
Let's see if Ankur and Sharon in House 3
were worthy of last week's win.
This is another charming room. Full of beautiful traditional touches.
I really think that is super gorgeous.
Ankur and Sharon are back in the game.
They scored 26 points for their guest bedroom,
putting them in second place.
But they played their gnome, giving them an extra bonus point.
With that, they overtook Dylan and Jenny's 26.5 points
and nabbed the win by just half a point.
Wow.
Ah! Love Sharon, love Anks, but this is...
I mean... This is crap.
No, it's not crap.
I'm sure that fireplace works.
I don't think it works.
That's just called a place.
Not a fireplace.
I mean, it's a nice room, don't get me wrong.
Is it a winning room?
To me, this isn't the same standard as House 4.
If I was Dyl and Jen, I would be not happy.
Yeah, that's, um, funny.
I'm a bit shocked, hey.
That paint job is horrific.
I don't think it's a colour, they've just got an undercoat on that.
Yeah.
I'm not a sore loser.
If they deserve to win, I'd be like, "100%, they deserve to win."
But that paint job was terrible.
The light doesn't go with that ceiling rose.
The ceiling rose doesn't go with the cornice.
I feel really bad for Jenny and Dylan.
Dylan and Jenny's room is next level good.
How there is even half a point between them two, I'll never know.
That is literally... I can't even say it on camera.
I know.
Well, some things are better left unsaid.
House 3 has burned my (BLEEP) retinas.
That was horrible.
Discombobulated and needing a debrief, Sarah-Jane calls Rachel.
RACHEL: Talk to me. (STAMMERS) The paint job.
The downlights do not line up with the ceiling rose.
I'm dead. Yep. Yep. Yep.
I'm dead. (STAMMERS)
That's a last place. That's last-place from what I've seen.
That's exactly what I said. I just can't even comprehend.
Absolutely. Dead. Dead. Dead.
No, no, 100%. 100%. Love you, leave you. Bye.
Well, it's a new week, and that means a new room for the Blockheads.
This week our teams will be tackling their master en suites,
and Tom and Sarah-Jane in House 1
will be replacing the old bathroom with a new en suite.
Although Tom seems to think they are already well progressed.
I reckon it's almost finished.
Just got...the grout man's coming to redo all the grout,
just got to fit that toilet off,
and Velux have just got to finish that skylight.
So yeah, should be a cruisy week, I reckon.
Suncorp and Scotty gave us $22,000 for our en suite this week.
(WHISTLES)
So we've been drawing up some designs for the master.
It's really hard, because we have a window and French doors.
So the wall that the French doors are on...
And the walk-in robe.
Don't worry about the walk-in robe, darl.
Yes, don't worry about the walk-in robe, Tom.
Let's just concentrate on this week's room.
Alright, so what am kind of thinking, babe,
come through the centre of the bathroom,
to the left, which is here, this wall is going to have to come in.
Why are we losing space and not gaining space?
We had to take into account
where the doorway was going for the en suite,
because that had to fall in place with our walk-in robes.
We're doing bathroom week.
Yeah, but the walk-in robes are your entrance to the bathroom.
Whatever. Why ask me? Alright, cool.
I'm explaining...
Who gives a (BLEEP)? Just tell me how it's going to go.
You don't ever listen!
Because you literally never take what I say on board,
so it doesn't matter. You don't know the measurements!
Don't bother telling me. It doesn't matter.
So anyways, Tom was getting super frustrated.
He was like, "We need to get this layout."
I'm trying to explain to you what is functional.
(BLEEP) hell!
He was like losing it. He was like, "I can't do it."
I was not losing it. You were so frustrated.
You were like, "Come here, sit down and let's do this layout, together."
You talk (BLEEP)! You weren't doing that?
Swear on Cleo's life you weren't doing that.
Swear on Cleo's life that is not how it went.
MAN: How did it go?
So we were on the concrete slab
outside where our shed's getting poured.
That's your window. Shower's here. Shower head's here.
Yeah, but you gotta have that tapware too.
So you can have the tapware under the window, with the bath.
I wanna do a stick.
We can't do a stick.
Dan and Keith don't want it. Dan and Keith aren't...
I love Dan and Keith, I respect them, I don't care.
I'm like, "We've got to sort this out,
"and I'm struggling to come up with a design
"so can you please sit down with me to organise it?"
I just want to go into a little hole.
I'm really emotional. I'm on my period.
I'm really emotional. We're trying to work this out.
We can normalise the word 'period'.
Your hormones get played up, there's nothing wrong.
And she came up with an idea.
Why don't we just do the shower and the bath together
and then you can have your bath and look out the doors.
The door can still go here and then you just have your vanity here.
"Shower here, toilet here. There's the doors. There's the doors. Done."
And he goes... Nah, it is going to work.
You're welcome.
And that's how it went.
That was literally just exactly what I just did.
Mate, you went... (GRUFFLY) "Calm down
"and sit down and..." (GRUNTS UNINTELLIGIBLY)
That's not how it went. That's how you talk.
So yeah.
Guys, just give it to us one more time for those that missed it.
I said, "Put the bath here, shower here, toilet here,
"there's the doors, done."
I'm going to be a raging bitch for the next seven days,
I apologise for in advance.
My menstrual cycle has commenced
so if people thought that I was nasty before...
Ooh! Fasten your seatbelts because you're in for a ride.
Best mates Oz and Omar from House 5
are returning from an early morning celebration at the mosque.
Good morning.
This morning, we went to Eid prayer, to farewell Ramadan.
You see, for the past month,
the boys have been observing Ramadan,
that's the holy month in the Islamic calendar
where Muslims abstain from eating or drinking from dawn to dusk.
And today is Eid, which is the celebration for the end of Ramadan.
It's sad because it's one of those months
we need to get closer to your Lord
and we do spend a lot of time being at peace with it all,
so it is sad in that regard,
but on top of that, we are on the Block
and the energy on the daily
so in that way, we're actually very excited
to really get stuck into the next 10 weeks
and probably work twice as hard.
Stay on that second gear, double clutch, baby.
Ramadan is over.
Happy Eid, boys!
I'm bringing some gifts for you.
Oh, legend.
I heard you been waiting for these for a while.
Wow. Almond cap with honey.
How did he know how I have my coffee?
It was amazing.
There you go. I'm loving it. Are you loving it? Well done, boys.
Happy Eid. Legend. Appreciate it. Thank you very much.
Fuelled up and ready to get out of second gear,
it's time for the boys to check in with their builder Dan
and discuss this week's plan.
Because we won the first time we did a wet area...
Omar and Oz!
..we are very confident we could do better than that.
Because it was our first big week on the Block.
The pressure is there, but I think
we will overcome the pressure, for sure.
Everything you guys have talked about, we're doing.
Perfect.
This master en suite is a little bit different
because of the size we had for the first bathroom,
so we're literally gonna walk in,
we have two French doors this time on two walls
so we're gonna try and place the bathtub
between them on the corner, so we're going to do a corner bathtub.
Because of the space issue with the two French doors,
we're gonna hide the toilet behind the door as you open it.
We're gonna do a nib wall and have
the vanity attached to it on the bathtub side
and behind it, we're gonna have two shower roses and a shower seat.
We love spending a lot of time in an en suite, we love getting wet.
(LAUGHS)
We really need that bathtub to be the centre of attention.
I'll make something work, we'll do it.
Honestly, because we've already done so well in our previous bathroom,
this is probably going to be the easiest week ever.
MAN: You probably be finished what, Saturday arvo?
Nah, Friday. Saturday just to style.
Throw the towel on the bathtub and ciao, ciao.
Watch this space. Watch this space!
This season on The Block, we're doing a tree change,
and in keeping with the theme, the winner of each week's room reveal
will also score a mature tree from the folks at Form.
Sharon and Ankur, that's where we're going.
House 3.
With a tree this big, they are gonna lose their minds.
Oh, my God! That's humongous.
As it kept driving up and getting closer,
it was getting bigger and bigger,
we're like, "Where are we gonna put this?"
It's an expensive tree and you gotta put it in the right spot.
SCOTT: Thankfully for Ankur and Sharon,
the guys from Plant Runner are on hand
to help find that perfect spot for the mature tree to call home.
Congrats on the win, guys.
Lovely to meet you. I got your $10,000. Congratulations.
Thank you so much! We got 10 Gs, baby!
ANKUR: Yeah, we rich! Yeah.
I didn't know it was going to come like this.
But this makes it even more exciting.
Now the goal is to win as many of these as possible.
I thought you came onto the Block not about money.
Yeah, now it's changed, the Block's changed me.
Thank you so much. Its a Himalayan cedar.
Ah! Amazing!
So it gets pretty big, it's going to get about 30m tall.
What?
So you gotta think about where you want it.
I kind of wanted it at a place of solace
with a nice park bench or something underneath it.
So you can go up there when your husband's super annoying
just to retreat, type of vibe.
I'd just be living under the tree.
So the landscaping begins.
And there it is.
Planted on top of the hill for all the other Blockheads to see.
Good spot.
('SOLSBURY HILL' BY PETER GABRIEL)
Next door in House 4, Jenny is still salty
about her guest bedroom win being snatched by Ankur and Sharon.
WOMAN: Are you gonna win this week, guys?
If we do a (BLEEP) paint job, we will.
(LAUGHS)
You need to go to the gym, I reckon, just get...
Get a bit of aggro out.
When it's blatantly obvious that we should have won,
that's why I'm so, like, "What the hell?"
I move on pretty quick. I'm not moving on.
It seems Jenny's unwillingness to move on from last week
is getting in the way of Dylan
trying to finalise the plans for this week.
Would you put a little sauna in there?
No. We don't have the money, babe.
But you deleted the toilet from there.
The toilet's gonna go here. Here? OK.
I know...I pretty much had the idea in mind for this wall.
Wallpaper whole wall.
Wallpaper not whole wall.
I reckon wallpaper the whole wall.
Because you don't do that paneling. Why?
It's not gonna go.
'Cause you're going to go...
I know in my head that paneling into V-groove...
I think it WILL go.
No, it'll be (BLEEP).
I just think... Well... What about this one?
What do you want to do here?
Oh... I can't think.
With their plan still up in the air,
Jenny is hoping a trip to Beaumont tiles
will give her some inspiration to lock in the look for their en suite.
As I was leaving, Keith and Dyl were next in my car and said...
Wow, you got a flat tyre. Really?
What? No. I've got so much to do.
I think you're screwed. (LAUGHS)
I can even cope. I actually have so much to do today.
So frustrating.
Drama, doll, drama. We love it.
It's all systems go for master en suite week...
We've got it finished all there and finished all there.
I reckon the corner bathtub is the only way.
We will have the nib wall so if we can just do that,
that's how you would walk into the bathroom. Yeah.
Although, it seems Jenny isn't going anywhere.
Because she's got a flat tyre.
Do we have a spare one?
Where is the spare tyre?
Where is the spare tyre, though?
I actually don't know where the spare tyre is.
I couldn't find the tyre on the car and then...
Oh! The tyre is under the car.
Is it coming down?
That's obviously something to do with it, isn't it?
Oh, yeah. Get it on, big dog.
There you go.
(HOOTS)
It's all happening on Monday, Dan.
A little late, but back on track, Jenny is off to Beaumont Tiles.
(HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS)
Also on the road is Sarah-Jane from House 1
who's looking to lock in her master en suite fixtures.
(SINGS) It's Reece day.
We love to come to Reece.
And we sing the Reece song.
While we pick our vanities.
Hello.
Hi, Sarah-Jane. I'm your wizard for today. Love that.
I already knew what I wanted.
Tom and Sarah-Jane's master en suite will include a double vanity,
with matching tapware and basins from their guest bathroom.
Brushed brass mirrors, a half-wall shower, and a clawfoot bath.
We're really limited because we have French doors and this stupid window.
And I wanted to get rid of the French doors,
Tom doesn't want to get rid of the French doors.
I wanted to get rid of the window and Tom doesn't.
'Cause it takes away that extra wall space that you got.
100%, it does.
But what happens is I scream and yell at my husband
and look like a psychopath and then he still gets his way so...
OK. That's fine.
MAN: So what sort of bath did you go for?
So I went for a clawfoot bath.
I didn't do it first bathroom week
because I wanted to keep the clawfoot for the master
because I think it's so much more beautiful.
I didn't want to waste that on kids, as bad as that sounds.
Alright, so there's your clawfoot there, which was 1700,
which would give you that room that you wanted.
Nice, baby.
It is a chrome clawfoot tub.
There's a gold one, hang on.
Can't have the gold one either. Has to be white feet.
White? Yeah.
'Cause that gold is that gold, and it's fugly gold.
And two other contestants did it
and it made me want to... (IMITATES RETCHING)
No offence to anyone if anyone in this room
has that in their bathroom, I apologise.
Each to their own.
Reese were so lovely.
They can get me a clawfoot bath
but they'll have to spray the feet white once it arrived.
Anyway, that's my life. Welcome.
Now I'm gonna go home and annoy Tom.
So...let's all pray for Tom together, alright, guys?
(CACKLES)
'Cause I'm the best wife ever,
I went and got McDonald's for our whole crew.
WOMAN: Hi, welcome to McDonald's. What can I get for you?
Can I please get six big Mac meals
and what's the most nuggets I can get?
You can get 20 in a large meal.
Thank you so much.
(CACKLES)
I love McDonald's.
I'm taking a little bit from everybody's chips.
Oh-oh.
And they'll think they are full chips, but really
I've had like seven chips from every packet before he gave it to them.
It's genius.
McDonald's delivery.
Hey! There's heaps of chips, guys.
(CACKLES)
(GROANS)
(BOTH IMITATE EATING NOISILY)
Jenny from House 4 has lost a lot of time today
and is hoping a quick trip to Beaumont
to pick her master en suite tiles
will put her back on track.
Oh, God, that was an effort and a half, hey.
I need a stretch after that.
(THUD!) Ooh.
(GASPS) Was that me?
Today's just not Jenny's day.
Well, at least she's moved on from last week's loss.
Did you win? Didn't win. Lost by half a point.
Oh, no. Let's get you over the line today.
Yes, let's do it.
Do you have any inspo? Actually, it's all in my head.
Oh, Beaumont was a cracker.
You didn't know whether your Martha or Arthur at Beaumont.
I was delusional at Beaumont.
The phone calls were going off.
I'm looking at a floor tile I think I like but... What do you reckon?
Jen, we're Facetiming.
Do you like that, Dyl? Yeah.
Do you like? Yes.
These are cool. Yeah.
These ones P would you do them? Uhh, yeah.
You wouldn't add another tile in the mix, would you,
and put that halfway around
and then do the rest as squares in the shower?
Sorry?
I was going here, there, everywhere.
We had six sets of tiles and I'm just going, "Oh, my God."
Do you like this tile, actually?
I'll get a few ones I like because I don't just want to make a decision
on the first one I see.
So I chose a big pattern tile for the floor
and then I thought about it and I was like,
"No, that's not what I want to do."
I feel like I need a clear vision and it's just not coming to me.
You know what I mean?
Yeah P a clear vision would help me help you.
No, I know. You were delusional.
Imagine me trying to pick up what you're putting down
on the other end of the phone.
I can see how all the details are gonna work and it's gonna be gnarly.
It's all good. Take a deep breath.
OK, bye-bye.
(BLEEP) me.
With Jenny flailing by herself at Beaumont,
Sharon from House 3 has taken a very different approach
on how to choose her tiles.
This week, we went to Beaumont, given that I had a bit
of PTSD from the last time I went to Beaumont and chose the wrong tile.
The wall tile choice is heavy and industrial.
This way, Anks came with me and we met Tony from Imperial Tiles.
And we had a magnificent time.
We're so excited to have you on board.
And we were up bouncing off each other with ideas.
Tony was so hands-on.
I've done tiles in that colour before,
once you really look at them, they really pop.
Beautiful.
So instead of taking your...
I don't know, do you usually take two or three hours there?
Yeah. I reckon we nutted it out in probably an hour.
This one is more heritage, I'd say.
We were really happy with the choices. Yeah.
Happy? Happy.
Well done.
I hope we can take out a real true genuine win
where we don't need to use a gnome.
That bloody gnome!
Then it's like nobody can be bitter about that.
Yeah.
(SHEEP BLEAT)
Day one of master en suite week
has got Jenny from House 4 completely flustered.
Hang on. Which ones?
She's supposed to be picking tiles at Beaumont
but she can't even agree with fiance Dylan on the design.
We're usually bang on the same,
she's trying really hard to get the win.
You just gotta stay in your own lane.
You can just keep chasing your tail.
I lay down on the couch at Beaumont Tiles for a hot minute
and just had a breather.
I was just not comprehending what was actually happening.
To move things forward, Dylan has knocked up some plans
to help Jenny lock in her tile selection.
Hey, babe. Hello. You all good?
Yeah.
I think what we're gonna do is keep the window in the shower area,
but we'll just put the 660 one there, not the 1260 one.
OK. And then we've got the beautiful skylight above it.
It will all line up nice.
OK. And behind the vanity, we can do the squares.
Yep, up to say a metre high.
And then VJ the rest of the wall. And then that's it.
OK, no, I get it. I'll tell them.
Sweet. All good.
So then I decided to go with a more chilled tile on the floor
and behind the bath, we're going to do the wainscot paneling.
And on the other wall, we'll do wallpaper.
And on the floor as well. Yep. Done.
Awesome. Lock it in. Thank you.
Let's get it ordered for you.
Thank you. No worries.
We got there. We got there.
Back at the Block, experienced renovators
Rachel and Ryan in House 2,
have their master en suite located on the corner of the old property.
And today Ryan has his hands full.
So today, the main goal was to do all the full demolition.
(TOOLS WHIRR) Pulling the bathroom out.
Pulling it?
Bang, bang, bang.
(TOOLS WHIRR)
Start putting some new walls up.
Wow! Look at this.
The next thing you jump straight into is Beaumont Tiles orders
and Reece Plumbing.
And that's where Rachel comes in.
(BELCHES LOUDLY)
Excuse me.
Rachel's handling the en suite design choices,
teaming up with her bathroom beau from week one Stu.
Welcome! How are you?
I love Stu. Stu and I had an instant connection.
What room are we doing?
We're doing master en suite.
OK. Yeah.
I kinda like that.
Stu and I are actually so close
that we're now known amongst the Reece community as Stuchel.
Uh...no, you're not.
I like this.
You can get two people in there.
We are tight, Stu and I.
They call us Stuchel.
No, they don't.
Yeah, I love that.
And Stuchel created a bathroom today, if you know what I mean.
No, we don't.
That, with your timber, is beautiful.
I actually really like that.
We Stuchelled it.
No. I just love that so much.
Our bathroom's been Stuchelled.
(CACKLES)
OK, I'll play along.
Let's see what Stuchel came up with for their master en suite.
So walking into our room,
you have our gorgeous double vanity on the left,
then you have our beautiful double shower,
you have our toilets just off to the side
and then our beautiful country style bath
with our pendants to match our basins to tie all that in together.
It is absolutely beautiful.
With her fittings and fixtures good to go,
Rachel now needs to lock in her tile selections.
This is all I want now in my whole life.
I want this in my shower. (EXCLAIMS)
Yes.
And Rach is thinking outside the Block
to bring the wow into her master en suite this week.
I wanted a feature tile
to complement the beautiful Beaumont tiles.
I want to do a little feature, just a little one. OK.
I've got these beautiful tiles that I'm absolutely obsessed with.
That we have sourced from a different supplier.
(GASPS) Do you see what I'm saying?
I know, I'm like this... (GASPS LOUDLY)
They are mosaic, they're stone, they are absolutely beautiful.
I'm just busting to put them in somewhere
and why not put them in here?
So what I would do is I'm gonna do a feature behind the vanity,
the beautiful ming green fluted marble tile feature splashback
and then tie it in with the beautiful Beaumont tiles.
OK, alright.
In a way, we played it safe in our first two rooms.
I just want to add a little bit more of our wow.
(SQUEALS)
I'm really happy with that tile selection.
Yeah, good. Good, good, good.
We've nutted out the exact size of the bathroom now,
so we're happy with that.
I'm finally doing a poo
which I've been trying to do for the last three hours.
Oh, are you talking to me while you're doing it?
Yeah. Mate...
# I don't mind the sun sometimes
# The images it shows
# Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
# You never know just how you look through other people's eyes... #
Alright, can you let us know, please?
It's 7:01 in the morning.
I'm just getting my McCafe coffee.
The boys are straight onto it, both of them.
Bang, bang, bang. Question, question, question.
Let me have coffee, lads. Sorry, mate.
Make it 7:05 tomorrow, will you?
While foreman Dan gets drilled,
Omar's needing his coffee fix early.
Because he'll be flying solo today for House 5.
Oz is feeling a little bit crook this morning.
He was crook yesterday but he battled through it
and you could tell he was battling
so today I just told him "Just rest up,
"you're better off getting it out of the way early
"and then we got the rest of the week, which is gonna be busy as."
So just going to chill today, hopefully.
Over in House 3, Ankur and Sharon's bodies might not be moving
but their brains are working overtime.
Their previous bathroom got slammed by the judges.
Just because you put that type of tap and that type of bath
does not make it feel heritage.
So to ensure that doesn't happen again,
they've come up with a secret weapon for master en suite week.
Do you know what's in my master en suite?
A fireplace.
A working fireplace.
A double-sided fireplace.
That costs money. But you got to spend money to make money.
You basically walk through the door,
on the right-hand side is a double vanity,
a bath right in front of French doors
and then on the left is the main feature, the main wow factor.
A double-sided fireplace.
Have you got heated floor tiles as well?
Yep. Heated floor tiles.
Ducted heating, and a fireplace in the bathroom.
I wanted one in the bedroom anyway so why not make it double-sided?
Oh, yeah, great idea. Fantastic. We're in Gisborne.
I know we're in Gisborne.
So I spoke to Dan the foreman about this extensively,
just wanted to make sure it was actually achievable.
The master bedroom is here, this is the en suite.
You need to give us the go-ahead when this is going to happen
and I've got to send it all the way up to Doug the engineer
to design something ASAP for you guys.
But I think it's an awesome idea.
Yay!
Put your good vibes on it and then
maybe we've got a chance this week as well.
Make some calls.
This is the room that I'm happy for us to spend some of our budget on.
We've worked hard to win some money
and a master en suite bedroom
and an en suite is like a big deal on The Block.
I want this fireplace.
I want a fireplace.
Don't tell anyone, but I want a fireplace.
SCOTT: So apparently Shaz wants a fireplace,
but she's not the only one with a secret weapon this week.
House 5, who have the smallest en suite,
also have something special up their sleeve.
To maximise the feeling of space in their master en suite,
Oz and Omar are hoping a 2m high nib wall
will be the secret weapon they need to divide the shower and the bath.
But they seem to have hit a snag when it comes to the nib wall.
You're gonna need something continuous.
What happens, though, mate, is it's just flapping in the breeze,
you know what I mean?
Normally your wall goes from floor to ceiling and it's tied off
to prevent any wobbling from happening.
But they just want to have it freestanding and it's quite
hard to come up with a technique to stop the wall from wobbling.
It didn't have as much support as Keith and Dan would've liked.
It was just gonna be a little bit too flimsy.
So we've gotta ring Doug the engineer
to give us some options how we can strengthen this wall up.
(PHONE CHIMES)
We've just spoken to Doug and he likes the Ezipier option
of when we bolt it to the footing,
we have a bit of 90 x 90 tube coming up through the subfloor
all the way up to the height of your wall.
That way, it's going to stabilize that wall.
Perfect. Douglas the engineer always coming with the goods.
He suggested that we would use Ezipiers and steel which just
come straight from the ground up to stop it literally from being flimsy.
Thanks a lot, guys. Appreciate it.
I think we're good to go so we're back on track.
With House 5 back on track,
time for me to get on a dirt track
and deliver a bit of love from the A2 milk company.
Oh, my God.
(IMITATES HOOFBEATS)
Yee-haa.
Tom!
I can't run.
We had a visit from Scotty and the Greek God and the Greek Goddess.
This is Zoe and Dalton - we're triplets as you can see.
Cam family delivery company.
This is amazing!
You'll just deliver with these two hotties and the horse
every time I want milk.
What do you mean? You mean the three hotties?
(LAUGHTER)
We're triplets. We are identical triplets.
I forgot. I forgot.
The resemblance is uncanny.
Nice to see hot people with milk.
Oh, that's weird. But yeah.
As I move on with the milk deliveries, over in House 4,
Jenny's also moving on after her tile choice shocker.
By getting on the tools.
She's putting the boots on. She's ready.
I had a really good sleep last night so that was lovely.
Ready to get the nail bag on.
# I saw him dancing there by the record machine
# I knew he must've been about 17
# He was going strong... #
I actually love getting on the tools. It feels so nice.
I literally said today, "Oh, my God I feel like we're at home,"
because at home, we're always building our house.
You can actually hammer with both hands.
Yeah, I do both, hey.
Both hands! I'm ambi-hammer-strous.
(LAUGHS)
Mate, she's got you covered.
I don't teach her heaps because she'd have your job.
Good stuff, guys. I'm impressed.
Cheers, Keith. (LAUGHS) Thanks.
She's a double hammerer - that sounds really bad, hey.
With 4.5 days until room reveal,
Sharon from House 3 is a woman on a mission.
As she races to secure her second secret weapon
for master en suite week.
There are two big items in my room
that I'll be hustling my buttocks for.
I want a double-sided fireplace but also...
The bath.
Let's talk about spas.
We don't sell a lot of spas. Yeah.
I probably pull more out than I put in.
That's what my tiler said too.
A lot of people have a preconceived notion when it comes to spas.
They think it's those ugly... Triangle.
..triangle things in your parents bathroom that never gets used,
and you feel weird about having a spa in your parents' bathroom
because it's your parents' bathroom.
But Reece has a freestanding spa
so it looks like a bath from the outside, of course
it's got the jets in there,
but they have one in their catalogue.
I've spoken to the manufacturer and they
will have that shipped down from NSW
and we'll have it here on Friday to site.
Can I just reiterate I can't tell you how excited I am about this.
That was so quick compared to what I'm used to
when I do these big decision-making processes
but I got everything,
got this back, it's coming from NSW,
it's going to be delivered.
I got some fittings now so I need to get back straight back to the Block,
because my plumber's literally there waiting on my budget dime.
So he can fix them in and he doesn't have to come back tomorrow.
Yay! Bye!
Speaking of budget dimes,
while Shaz is spending all their money,
her accountant hubby Ankur is trying hard to save it.
From the Suncorp app, I've set up a subaccount our landscaping.
And then basically transferred our winnings from our guest bedroom,
ten grand, straight into that,
so Shaz can't touch it and spend it and I can keep an eye on it.
(KOOKABURRA SINGS)
As the sun sets on the Block,
time to check in how Omar fared flying solo today in House 5.
Everything is pretty much done tonight,
we'll probably just do a little bit of cleaning before tomorrow.
And then we're heading over for a:
That's not the plan?
What did I say?
Winners and grinners. It's not the dinner.
We also heading to a:
Tonight I'll be cooking up a special Indian fusion-inspired barbecue
in honour on Sunday night's winners Ankur and Shaz.
Hello, everybody.
Welcome, welcome.
Welcome to the winners are grinners dinner.
Sharon and Ankur are hosting tonight.
Ladies and gentlemen, our very special guest is here, Alice Stoltz.
Hi, everybody.
Grab a drink, and then go and have a look at my bedroom.
(ALL EXCLAIM)
What have we got?
Chardonnay or pinot?
The girls are pretty keen to get some grog in poured.
Says the bloke is already got the beer in his hand.
That's right. Cheers, mate.
Cheers, mate. Thank you very much.
Are we gonna see Scotty's room? Yeah.
My guest bedroom is located in the original part of the homestead
and it sits about half the size
of the other blockheads' guest bedrooms.
So let's see what they think.
Oh, OK. Cute.
Oh, that's the Robert Gordon light. Oh.
Yeah. I quite like that.
Super cute. Yeah.
I've got that vayse... Vase. What you call it, VASE?
Vase. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
I quite like it.
Far out, this is tiny. Couldn't swing a cat in here.
I hate cats.
I mean, it's a cool little room
but I don't walk in here and I'm blown away.
What number would you give him honestly?
I would probably give it, out of ten, I'd probably give it a four.
But has anyone ever had a four?
They just got one.
Good old Tommy. I love that bloke.
It was just very small.
Tommy's small. Tommy's small.
And for him to say the bedroom was small, it must be tiny.
It was pretty small for me.
Looks like I'm not the only one stirring things up.
The dinner is ready, so time to tuck in
and unpack another great week on the Block.
I want to say it's terrific to see Oz out of bed and eating.
You feel alright, mate? I feel much better.
Much better? Much better.
Resilience. Resilience!
I just wanted to say thank you for coming tonight.
More importantly, we were very happy to win, obviously,
but the real winners were Dyl and Jen.
And your room was absolutely amazing.
So congratulations.
Congratulations to everybody on getting through
and revealing awesome rooms.
And here's to sustainability and resilience.
(ALL CHEER AND EXCLAIM)
It was really lovely just to hang out with everybody
and just for all of us to take a minute,
eat some beautiful, delicious Indian-inspired
contemporary food and just acknowledge everybody's hard work.
(CACKLES)
Alright, now, listen, I've got a bit of an announcement to make
for which I'm gonna get up here.
Ladies and gentlemen, Alice is here to remind you guys
that the points that you earn every Sunday night from the judges
is not just about winning rooms,
it could actually win you The Block as well.
Because each and every point goes to your final tally,
that is the points you score at the end of the series from the judges.
The team that has the most points after 12 weeks
will get the Domain Superpower.
Ooh!
Alice, what is the Domain Superpower?
The Domain Superpower will give the winner
the power to decide the auction order.
Now, we know from past experience that is the silver bullet
that can set you up for success in winning The Block.
Oh, no.
You'll also be able to unlock the Domain magazine cover
so these are true superpowers
that I would imagine you want to get to give you the upper hand.
So be very consistent each and every week,
getting the most points you can from the judges,
and you could get the superpower.
The Domain Superpower is unbelievable.
You get to choose the auction order
so yeah, that's amazing, that's what you want.
Front page of the magazine too. Front page of Domain.
Wanna know how we're going so far? CONTESTANTS: Yes.
We're pretty consistent coming second.
Yes, but it will be very interesting when you see these scores.
House 1.
49.
House 2. Good number.
48.
House 3...Ankur and Sharon.
House 4, 52.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
And House 5
49.5.
So that's it. In order, Domain Superpower leaderboard.
Don't forget, Domain, the only app
you can see all of this year's The Block listings.
So, guys, as you can see, it doesn't matter about coming second
as long as you get consistently high points from the judges.
Because you've come second every week and you're in front.
(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)
I don't want to keep coming second,
but I'm glad we are at the top of the board.
To see that we've got the most points
and we haven't actually won yet is amazing.
We're hoping to just keep doing better and better.
Got the yellow jersey.
Got it on. Let's go.
Come and sit down, I'll give you a bit of lamb.
If you're lucky.
Tomorrow night...
(HOOTS) Waterproof Wednesday is back.
(SINGS) W for water and waterproofing
Wednesday.
It's Block of bathroom bedlam in the master en suite.
Plasterers on top of plumbers, plumbers on top of electricians,
electricians on top of our carpenters.
With every trade on top of each other,
our teams race to secure sign-off for their framing.
Hello, hello.
It's just scary because Keith and Dan have got the power
to shut you down.
How solid is that? They are too big. We can't have that like that.
Even though you doubled these joists up, there's still bounce.
Got a bit of a hitch with the floor. Who will make it...
We are behind half a day.
And it's tools down at six.
I doubt you're going to get that done in time.
And who will end up in the toilet?
When it's time for inspection,
I feel like I'm going to vomit and diarrhoea myself. Righto.
