and that's our program.
Thanks for your company.
(MOOING)
SCOTT: Previously on The Block,
master ensuite week kicked off with a bang.
MAN: I'm trying to explain to you what is functional.
It's all good. Take a deep breath.
I just can't think straight. I like this.
The Colorbond letterbox challenge
separated the winners from the losers.
Oh, that's cute. It's just got character.
There was a clear winner.
Tom and Sarah-Jane.
(CHEERING)
It was celebration for the winners and commiseration for the losers.
SHARON: All we had was a poorly painted black box.
ANKUR: It looked really bad.
They sort of, like, threw in the towel and didn't turn up.
Tonight... (SHRIEKS)
..master ensuite week continues.
That's what I want to be looking at. Yeah, I know.
I don't need to look at that.
Because we won, the pressure is up there.
Oh, my god.
We're a whole day behind.
It's bad news for Dylan and Jenny.
It's a shutdown for two hours. Oh, no.
Rachel and Ryan are in a tile panic.
And we needed to know where our tiles were.
Can they drop it to me in Gisborne? WOMAN: (ON PHONE) No.
(GROWLS)
The whole thing's a disaster.
And the Super Ks are back on the block.
Oh, my god, this is so good. (LAUGHTER)
I should've been Lebanese.
Omar and Oz put on a celebratory feast.
This is the best rice I've ever eaten.
But not everybody is happy.
You'll be alright. (KISSES)
RACHEL: I just want to go home. RYAN: No, no, no, no. It's alright.
(DOG BARKS)
(KOOKABURRAS LAUGH)
There's only 48 hours until master ensuites are revealed
but not all our Blockheads are feeling the stress.
After winning the letterbox challenge,
Tom and Sarah-Jane are feeling the serenity.
TOM: Could wake up here every day, I reckon.
SARAH-JANE: Waking up in the Colorbond retreats was amazing.
Literally open the blinds. So good.
The view of all the mountains...
More wins, more views. (LAUGHS)
Babe, I'm gonna make us some brekkie,
so be ready to come out, please.
Very good. It was so nice.
Oh... Love it.
I think it's the first brekkie you've ever made.
I think it's the first time you've been up for brekkie, babe.
(LAUGHS)
I wonder what all the poor people are doing.
(LAUGHS)
(TOOLS CLACK AND WHINE)
Back at the block, they're not feeling the serenity.
This week was master ensuite week, which is a huge task to take on.
# Wake up, it's a beautiful... #
Today we need to get all the tiling done.
It was hectic.
# ..Wake up...#
There's just too much going on.
I don't even have enough time to go to the toilet.
#.. Sunshine shining for your eyes... #
OMAR: Because we won the first time we did a wet area...
OZ: The pressure is up there.
(BIRDSONG)
Back on site, The Block's resident actor, Sharon,
is busy planning her master ensuite
and connecting with her fans on Instagram.
SHARON: Hey, team.
As you know, I am always on the hunt
to find new ways to improve my skin and this...
(HORN BLARES)
Hey, team. As you know, I'm always on the hunt to find new ways to...
(HORN BLARES) ..improve my skin.
(BLEEP!) Fake...
Fans will be disappointed.
Down the hill in house five,
Omar and Oz are well into laying their Violet Crumble...
I mean, KitKat tiles in the master ensuite.
In week one, the boys took out a win for their bathroom
and want to create a similar style for their ensuite.
This week, they'll create a wet shower area,
complete with a Japanese-inspired curved shower seat
behind a nib wall.
They will add double vanities
and the boys have got their hands on a unique bathtub
that Oz demanded they have to complete their ensuite vision.
Oz decided to go with the round bathtub,
the one and only bathtub in Australia.
There's only one left.
It's, what, $10,000?
And Oz said, "This bathroom, it's mine.
"I want a round bathtub."
DAN: Boys, we've just come out of the bathroom.
Mmm. Still got a lot to do in there.
Yep. A lot to do.
It's looking great.
One thing I did notice, these tiles...
Yep.
Even for a tiler, they're so hard to get perfect. Yep.
But I've noticed, 'cause you're under the pump,
you've got your chippies and builders in there helping, which is great.
Foreman Dan has come in and seen our builder Dan doing some tiling
due to one tiler not showing up.
But what I have noticed is some of this going on.
Ups and downs. Yep.
Like, just my eye was drawn to some of it.
It just didn't look perfect. Yep.
So I just thought I'd bring it to your attention.
Like, I know you're trying to finish the room
but always try and think about the quality.
Where your chippies are trying to tile, the quality's just not there.
Especially near the toilet. Like, there was just waves.
For tiles that are this hard, you probably need tilers doing it.
Because these are hard to get right.
I think I've got to agree with you once again, mate.
Like I said, when pressure goes on,
you don't pay attention directly to that,
so that's why we need you around basically just to tell us...
Well, youse have a look and see what youse think.
Yeah. We'll get it.
Alright, Dan we'll sort it out. See you, boys. Thanks for that.
He had a fair point, but it was just getting to a stage
where we honestly needed to get going.
See the ones that he's talking about?
Dan's got a good eye, eh?
He's been doing this for a while, bro.
Oh, my god. (BLEEP) Don't stress, bro.
All I want is literally that to be pulled back out
just so it matches the big one. Straighten them up a bit.
And, Charlie, if you come back out...
I'm not trying to tell you what to do.
This is your job and you're doing a fabulous job.
I just want everything to be in line.
Yeah. Charlie, if anything that's stuck...
and it's not right, pull it off, yeah?
The tiling's still not done.
We really, really thought we would get it done today,
so we're fighting here.
If we have to get another box of tiles that we're missing,
I will drive there myself, I don't care.
Sorted. Done?
Yeah. Please, just do that.
Finish off. The plasterers are coming in.
Let's empty everything out. Alright.
Over in house two...
(DRILL WHINES)
..Rachel and Ryan are planning a modern-style ensuite
complete with a double shower, oval bath and double vanity,
with a marble Ming Green feature tile splashback.
Our tiles set our room apart. The beautiful, curved edge.
I mean, you've just gotta feel it to believe it.
Tiles are a big deal for our Blockheads this week,
especially for Rachel,
who has gone outside of The Block's regular tiling supplier, Beaumont,
to source her feature tiles.
They're having to pay cash for it rather than their Block Bucks.
And considering it's eight hours till tools down,
today their whereabouts is creating a major headache.
They were supposed to come in Thursday afternoon.
They weren't in Thursday afternoon,
so we were told that they would be in around 8:00am Friday morning.
So we asked Mick to go and wait at the warehouse,
where the tiles were being dropped off.
The truck's finally shown up.
He said, "Oh, no, mate, yours isn't on here."
So we had a few phone calls back and forth with the supplier of the tile.
Hi, Brianna. Is Pamela there, please?
It's Rachel from The Block.
RYAN: Let them know about it.
# Got to know... #
We might be in a pickle here, boys. Why?
Because that truck driver called in sick,
yours aren't gonna get here till 3:00, 3:30 this afternoon.
What?
I'm gonna lose it.
What do we do, darl? I don't know yet.
WOMAN: That's annoying.
WOMAN: (ON PHONE) So I just spoke to one of our other colleagues.
She said she's been on the phone to the transport company
but just unfortunately it's just out of our control at this point.
I need to know what's going on 100% with these tiles because... Yeah.
..I've just paid a tiler to sit there for two hours for when...
And I'm paying for that.
Like, you know, I need to know what's actually happening, so...
They have told us that it could come in at 2:00.
But there's still... It's just not guaranteed because that's...
Like I said, it's just out of our control.
We came to the agreement that if the tiles weren't in by 3:30,
we would just be completely refunded, so I called our tiler.
How is that gonna work, then, for you laying them?
MAN: It's... Oh, yeah, it is what it is.
Yeah, it is. But the only thing is we can't cut.
After 6:00, I can't cut. Oh, Jesus.
So unless we can cut them all first...
Let me call you back in five minutes.
Alright. OK. Bye.
They have to come in today.
If they don't come in today, then we can't use them.
It's like our... That's our wow feature, is these tiles.
Yep.
(THUNDER CRACKS) (ANIMAL WHINES)
SCOTT: It's master ensuite week on The Block.
So far today, house one has been tiling.
House two, waiting on tiles.
House three is tiling.
House four, yep, tiling.
And guess what house five is doing.
After spending the night away,
a more relaxed Tom and Sarah-Jane have arrived back on site.
SARAH-JANE: It was actually a perfect day to be away.
They tiled until 1:30am, so we were asleep while they were tiling.
We're not going back in. (LAUGHS)
We're staying in our bubble of luxury
with our bathrobes that we stole. (LAUGHS)
Home sweet home. Home. Not sweet home.
(LAUGHS) Home.
What awaits us behind this door?
24 hours we have been gone. Oh, that rhymed. Oooh. OK.
It didn't rhyme. It did.
'Door' and 'gone'... (BUZZ!)
Oh... We got home. They grouted before they left.
They grouted, like, at 6:00. Done.
I literally got back here,
put me sperm suit back on... and started spray-painting.
Tom isn't the only Blockhead that wants to impress this week
with his spray-painting skills.
Over in house three, Ankur and Sharon are novices.
Our painting has been, like, subpar so far,
so we put the call in to Kennards.
Hey, boys. How are you? G'day, buddy.
And because my builders, Duncan and Dougal, already finished my ensuite
before this year's Block even kicked off,
they're teaming up with Moussa from Kennards
to teach Ankur and Sharon how to spray-paint.
We haven't even used it once. Oh, really?
Yeah. So we've been rolling. Oh, you have to learn.
Yeah, absolutely.
You can't just keep brushing and rolling. No.
And to quote the judges last week, our painting was a dog's breakfast.
We still won.
Apparently, it can turn a paint job
from, like, three hours into 15 minutes.
Up and down. Ah. Can I try that?
Yeah. No run marks.
Well done. Well done.
That was a fluke.
But how easy is this! That's really easy.
And it was a lot easier than what I thought.
We'll just have to learn how to use the spray gun.
(LAUGHS) Argh!
Work it. That's it. That's good.
Anything that improves our painting right now, we'll take.
If we get stuck, we'll call you Saturday night at, like, 2:00am...
No problem. ..to help us.
Thanks, Moussy. Bye.
While the massive tiling festival continues,
Dylan and Jenny have been trying to catch up on their tiling
after falling way behind.
JENNY: I think it's unfortunate what happened.
The underfloor heating, it kept getting pushed back.
We literally lost a whole day of tiling.
We could've laid the rest of the floor and the walls and...
DAN: Are you not finished tiling?
Well, he got messed around yesterday,
so, yeah, a bit of a waste of time.
We need to get all the tiling done
'cause tomorrow, I've got the fit-off happening, plumber, sparkie,
shower screen, all that jazz... Mm-hm.
..so I need tiles down.
No, he'll finish it because we've got heaps of B-groove
and other stuff to do, so there's heaps of tiling, so...
We are pushing...
(BLEEP) uphill. ..(BLEEP) uphill.
(LAUGHS) Pretty much. (LAUGHS)
It's Friday on the block. Shelley and I usually do our walk-arounds.
But she's crook this week,
so I've invited Block royalty to fill in for her.
(RESOUNDING MUSIC)
That's right, Kyal and Kara are back.
And being the first Blockheads to receive three tens on a bathroom...
With a perfect score, the Super Ks!
(LAUGHS)
..they're here to give the class of 2022 some friendly advice.
Oh! KARA: Hello.
It's my favourite contestants. KYAL: There he is.
How are you, mate? Good. I'm good.
How are you? Yeah, I'm good.
Great to see you. You too. Thanks for coming.
Shelley's not here, so you guys are taking over walk-arounds with me.
Alright. I'm so excited to see this. It's...
Yeah, it's actually not so much the block,
more a village that we're building.
This is huge. They're really up against it.
They're down in the dumps a little bit at times
and we've only been here for, like, two weeks.
(LAUGHS) They've got a long way to go.
And we really need some Super K enthusiasm to rub off on them.
KYAL AND KARA: Sounds good. We can do that?
We can do that.
I've got this magnificent Kubota chariot awaiting us.
Alright. I'll take you up there.
Let's go. House one's about 2 k's away.
G'day. SARAH-JANE: Hey.
Now, Shelley's not here, you know that.
I know. 'Cause she's a bit sick.
I know. But I've got some very...
TOM: Frankie! No, not Frankie.
No? No? I've got some very special guests.
Bring them in. It's the Super K's, Kyal and Kara.
KARA: Hello. TOM: Hey, guys.
G'day, mate. They're a good-looking couple.
I've said it many times. Very nice couple.
Sarah-Jane. Nice to meet you. Hey, Sarah-Jane. Hi.
We love the work that they do,
their house they finished not too long ago.
I've actually saved so much of their work for inspiration.
(CAMERA CLICKS) (UPBEAT MUSIC)
Tell us about the details in here, any styling or anything like that.
There is chandelier drooping, the beautiful shower screen,
a clawfoot white bath, those French doors,
double vanity and stunning brushed brass mirrors.
There's no storage in those mirrors.
Hey. That was the shaving cabinet.
I'm putting that out there right now. It's not a shaving cabinet.
You guys have got a bit on here, then.
TOM: Yep, we do. (LAUGHS)
KARA: Are you on track? I reckon.
Yeah. We've sprayed all the ceiling today. Oh, wow.
SCOTT: The paint jobs are fantastic, mate.
Yeah.
KARA: You guys seem pretty cool, calm and collected.
Oh, we're trying to be. Yeah.
SCOTT: They've had a couple of blues. Oh, well...
But they're not blues to you guys, are they?
That's not blues to us, mate. Like...
Yeah. We blue all the time.
There are not gonna be rags hanging off the wall.
I'm not happy with that. Do it your way.
Come here. "Please, Sarah-Jane."
Tom! What do you want from me?
Where is the ladder, Tom?
Watch you don't trip again. (BLEEP) off.
It's our love language. That's it.
"Tom, eff off!" That's how I say 'I love you'.
(SCOTT LAUGHS) KARA: Nice.
SCOTT: Well, you certainly love him. (LAUGHTER)
I love him so much.
Kara gave me some little tips
because they were such winners, getting tens.
KARA: Well, I think it's all in the finishing touches.
So, you know, you can have a beautiful bathroom... Yeah.
..but it's all about how you present it and style it,
so you want to make sure
that if the judges are opening a cupboard or a drawer -
you don't have the overhead cupboards -
that there's some finishing touches in there.
You want the judges to walk in and want to touch things.
OK.
You want them to feel like they're invited in. It's inviting.
They want to get in here and, you know, get into that clawfoot bath.
SCOTT: This is secret stuff from the K's here.
If I was you... Wow.
..I would fill the clawfoot bath... I was just about to say. Fill it.
I would put rose petals in there too.
KARA: Don't listen to him. SCOTT: He's serious.
TOM: I'm deadset.
I'll do it but I'll make sure it's cold
so they get in and get a bit of a shock.
KARA: Just those finishing touches. Yeah, that's good.
No, I appreciate that. It's a beautiful space.
SCOTT: OK. Let's go. TOM AND SARAH-JANE: Thanks.
See you. See you, guys.
Are you getting used to him? Oh, yeah.
I give it back twice as hard.
(GROWLS)
SCOTT: Coming up...
Furious.
Great. Can you send your tiler to us, please?
TOM: What's going on with yours?
Tiles cause havoc on the block.
Great. It's broken.
Eat up, guys. Eat up.
Omar and Oz put on a massive Middle Eastern feast.
Looks beautiful.
And everything piles up on Rachel.
RYAN: Don't. Come here. RACHEL: I just want to go home.
You don't have to worry about that, bub. It's alright.
(THUNDER CRACKS) (ANIMAL WHINES)
# For goodness' sake
# I got the hippy-hippy shakes... #
Up in the beautiful Macedon Ranges,
master ensuites are starting to take shape.
In house three, Ankur and Sharon are pulling out all the stops this week.
They're planning on a luxe ensuite complete with double shower,
a spa bath in front of French doors, which lead out to the ranges
and a Grafico print on the wall above the fireplace.
But not everyone loves it.
I'm confused. Like, that's what I want to be looking at.
Yeah, I know. I don't need to look at that.
It's the 1890s vision, Scott Pickett's,
of the Macedon Ranges.
I just think... it's just so much going on.
You know, that's gonna be all tiles up the top there.
You didn't need that. Yeah.
If I want to look at the Macedon Ranges...
Yeah, you just go here. I'll sit in the bath.
Why do I need that?
ANKUR: I loved it.
Like, amazing. It looks like... There's nothing wrong with it.
It looks schmick, but yeah...
I reckon the judges will say, why would you need that
when you've got the real thing out there?
ANKUR: Yeah, true.
It's a bit late now, Danno.
Never too late, mate.
Rip it down, you reckon?
Or just go over it.
I get your point. But... Mmm.
..that was the plan. Yeah. Yeah. Up to you, mate.
Right next door in house four, I've brought the Super K's along
to check out how Dylan and Jenny are going with their master ensuite.
Hey! Hey-hey-hey!
Here we go. Now, come and meet Kyal and Kara.
The Super Ks. Oh!
We love them. We've been following them, like, through...
watched them on The Block
and then followed them on their Instagram page.
Shelley's away, so these guys are filling in. Oh, cool.
Their very first bathroom they did eight years ago.
Yeah. Guess what they got.
30 out of 30. Oh, no way!
Three tens! Did you? Oh, my god!
And they won nine challenges. What?
We think they're awesome. Legends.
They literally, like, do what we're doing, pretty much,
building houses, like, living the dream.
Hey, shall we show the Super Ks your bathroom,
your 30 out of 30 bathroom?
Yeah, come and have a look. (OTHERS LAUGH)
Dylan and Jenny plan on having a large, light and airy ensuite
with a luxury double shower, double vanity,
complete with dual shaving cabinets and an oval-shaped bath.
Oh, yeah. DYLAN: Welcome.
This is great. KARA: It's pretty big.
Good size. Yeah, it is a good size.
I'll come over here. Yeah, where are you gonna stand?
I don't know where to stand. JENNY: You stay out of the way.
Arch. Yeah, we love the arches.
Did you say you're not putting a door on here?
No, well, we are.
Not this week, because otherwise it would mean
we have to do it for the other room.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So it's on the other side that we'll, like...
Yeah, so it's all hidden. But you couldn't do it inside.
It would just look too messy. So this room will be private?
Yeah.
So you'll need to put a little note up, I reckon.
Yeah, we will. Yeah. Yeah. Let them know.
Yeah, that's what we were gonna do.
I'm a 1960s sort of a baby, so I like a door on my dunny.
Yeah. (OTHERS LAUGH)
No, it will be going on, but we just couldn't do it this week.
KARA: It would have to be one of the biggest showers
The Block's ever seen, surely.
Oh, is this all shower? It's huge. Yeah.
The showerhead will be...
Yeah, showerhead there, showerhead there
and then the walk-in will be, like, in the middle.
I feel like you've got the layout sorted. Yeah.
Obviously it's too late to change it anyway. Yeah.
But... (LAUGHTER)
Obviously it comes down now to the execution and the styling.
Yep.
So allowing enough time to paint to know...
Oh, yeah, we're pretty good at that. Need to start on that tonight.
They're very good painters.
They get commended every Sunday on their execution.
How good. Like, always perfect.
But I've heard that you've been on the tools.
Yeah. This week.
I finally got on the tools, yeah. It was a good feeling.
Fantastic. Well, well done, guys. Good job.
Thanks, guys. Keep saving.
Thank you. We will keep saving.
# You're gonna hear it now blasting out your radio... #
It's delivery day on the block
and there's vans and trucks arriving from all corners.
Reece in the house! It's a love-fest!
(LAUGHS) OK. Alright.
Heated towel rail. Is that ours? Yep.
No, we've got other ones.
Tom!
Awesome. Yay.
There we go. You're out. Beautiful.
Thank you. (MEN LAUGH)
Reece came in. We got our round bathtub.
DAN: Now, this bath, apparently, is the only one in Australia.
I know.
We go into the foetal position to have a bath.
(LAUGHS) How does it work?
$10,000. Round. Beautiful.
It's a nice-looking thing. Yeah.
SCOTT: But some people are sweating
on more than their newly arrived goods.
Rachel and Ryan in house two
have been eagerly awaiting since early this morning
for their all-important feature tiles.
But they are still nowhere in sight.
MAN: That's alright. Go. Yeah.
With only four hours to go before tools down, time is running out.
We have back-up tiles here should we need them
but they're not the beautiful, majestic mosaic tiles.
They're finger tiles,
which every bathroom from here to Sydney has finger tiles in them.
So we wanted to make a point of difference.
(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)
How did you go?
WOMAN: (ON PHONE) As Reece said
the truck will be arriving in the later afternoon today.
But, I mean, I understand your circumstances
and we're happy to cancel your order
if you just can't wait for the tiles.
I can't give you a 100% definite, like...
Can they drop it to me in Gisborne? Sorry? No.
There's other orders with your order, do you know what I mean?
Yeah, I know, but this order is, like...
This order is probably...
I don't reckon anybody else needs to deliver a bathroom by Sunday.
Do you have anything else in the Ming?
We have nothing at all in the Ming in stock at our warehouse.
Alright. Perfect.
Thank you so much. Sorry.
It's OK, it's not your fault. Speak to you soon.
Bye. OK. Bye.
(GROWLS)
(SHRIEKS)
So, if they're not here by 3:30, well, then, we're not using them.
I have back-up tiles. I'm not silly.
I think, you know what, this is just a little...
a little speedbump.
A little snag. Mmm.
I think we're gonna be alright.
If not, we've got some KitKats going up.
You know what they're doing in house one, three, four and five?
KitKat walls. KitKat walls, yeah.
These better be good tiles.
Imagine we get bad feedback on these tiles.
# Whoo! #
SCOTT: House four is about to get a visit from Foreman Dan
after he got a complaint about some trades
not practising safe work protocols.
DAN: Dyl. Yo.
Hey, ledge.
He scared me at first because he went cross-eyed on me.
Mate, obviously the safety manager's come up to me...
Yep. ..and had a word.
Yep.
We've had a bit of a problem here, as you're well aware of.
Yep.
Cutting tiles without proper PPE, no proper extraction.
He wasn't doing that at all the whole day.
I didn't even see him doing it or I would've said "Put your mask on."
If it was the first time that it was a warning...
Yeah. ..I would let it go.
It's now multiple times.
Obviously things go wrong and people sometimes mess up,
like trades that you can't control
and it just stuffs us around and then...
But of course it's gonna be like that. It's such a fast pace.
Like, things are gonna happen. Yeah.
Alright, it's a shutdown for two hours.
Oh, no. Yep. No tiling for two hours.
He actually said he won't get it done, though.
Couldn't you just do an hour? Well, he should've listened to us.
He should've listened yesterday.
Shutdowns left, right and centre
and we're already, like, a day and a half behind,
so that just really kicks us up the bum. (LAUGHS)
You know what, (BLEEP). Yeah.
But you've gotta take ownership. This is your build.
Can we just do an hour? Two hours.
Why? Because it's gotta hurt.
It's gotta mean something. Oh, god.
And, like, two hours, like, meaning I couldn't paint, I couldn't clean,
couldn't do anything for two hours.
Just stand outside getting pneumonia.
Who cares? We won't finish. We want that for us.
Yeah, who cares? Alright.
So, two hours from now, we can start...
Can I still paint? ..tiling again.
Can I keep painting? No, it's a full shutdown.
Are you serious? Yeah, everyone.
(LAUGHS) Wow.
That's next-level, eh?
(THUNDER CRACKS) (ANIMAL WHINES)
# Hey, get rhythm... #
SCOTT: It's master ensuite week
and with only two days before reveal, all houses are a hive of activity.
And it's not only our Blockheads that are hard at work.
# Get rhythm... #
This year, each of the houses have a brand-new pavilion out the back
which will complement the old part of their house
where they're currently working.
At house five, the team from Holcim have arrived.
Good, buddy.
They're doing the final concrete pour of the season.
But not everyone is hard at work.
Earlier today, Foreman Dan shut down house four
for breaching health and safety regs.
Pissed off. Why?
Been shut down. Why would we get shut down?
Because I wasn't wearing a mask. OK. So...
We're like the naughty kids around here, always getting in trouble.
Nothing's changed since school, has it?
Yeah-ah! How good do they look!
Well, we got shut down, so we're, like,
well, we might as well have a barbecue.
Looks good, hey?
# Ain't that a shame... #
Have we started? No.
Meanwhile, over at house five, Omar and Oz have ground to a halt
due to some of their tilers walking off the job.
OMAR: We probably did give our tilers a pretty tough task.
OZ: But I think the pressure just got to them
and things weren't going right.
MAN: So, at the moment, the other guys I had on,
they were a bit stressed out.
They couldn't handle this and basically walked away
'cause it's a very fast-paced gig.
Even if it's for the day,
if I got two or three guys to come in and we can smash it out...
Who's Tom? Apparently house one.
DAN: House one's finished. House two's finished.
Tiling? Yeah.
Tell his tiler to come and help us with our tiling.
Yeah. Yeah. So the boys can do...
'Cause Dan reckons it's gonna be a very tight finish again
and the chippies still have a lot of work to do.
(RINGING TONE)
How you been, mate? TOM: (ON PHONE) Yeah, good.
You? Good, mate.
I hear that your tiler's finished, mate.
Can you send your tiler to us, please?
What's going on with yours? Mate, oh...
We're just taking ages. It's taking too long, mate.
Pressure's getting to him.
He's a wonderful man, don't get me wrong,
but like you know, bro, The Block is...
The finger tiles are killing him.
The finger tiles are killing him, man. Please, we need your guy.
Well, I'll send you his number. Yeah, alright. Done. Done.
It's just a few of those things
that you wish you were on top of from the get-go,
which we tried to be, but I don't (BLEEP) think it happens.
(RINGING TONE)
MAN: (ON VOICEMAIL) Oi, you've called Michael.
(BLEEP)
SCOTT: Continuing my walk-arounds with the Special Ks...
(CHEERING)
..we've dropped in to see Ankur and Sharon in house four
to see how they're getting on.
This is amazing! You're into it?
Special Ks, who obviously are Block OGs... Mmm.
..have dominated, have got perfect tens,
so it was amazing to see their actual reaction to the room as well.
Look at this. How is this!
It's an open fire. Love... Love it.
I mean, look at the doors going out to the view.
Yeah. Yeah, it's unreal.
Oh, my god.
The body language, the gasp that Scotty Cam had
when he walked into our room
is exactly what we want the judges to have
and anybody, honestly, that walks into that room.
KARA: Beautiful. KYAL: This is amazing.
ANKUR: Awesome. Now, for them to say that...
Yeah. ..you're on track here.
OK. Yay. Perfect.
It confirms that we're making good decisions. Yeah.
We absolutely obviously bombed yesterday's challenge.
It's alright. Things happen. We tried our best.
We just couldn't do it.
And we have zero building experience
and we just couldn't do it in the time allocated.
Well, when we did The Block, we had a couple of bombs early on as well
and we were just saying then,
you want to have those mistakes and learn early on.
Yeah.
You don't want to be getting down the pointy end of the competition
and getting that sort of feedback and still making mistakes.
Yeah.
So you use the first few weeks to find your feet...
ANKUR: Yep. ..get your skills...
Take the feedback. Yeah, definitely.
Take the feedback. 100%.
Sometimes you've gotta read between the lines. Yep.
But it looks like you guys are definitely... On the right track.
..on the right track. That's awesome.
I just love it that, yeah, that we're improving,
we're taking the feedback,
'cause you get knocked around heaps on the show... Mmm.
KARA: I've just noticed the floor tiles.
Yeah. The pattern.
ANKUR: Are you into it? I love the pattern.
OK. Yeah. I'm a tiny bit nervous.
OK. That...that... The patterns.
Yeah, OK. It's a lot going on? Yeah.
Yep.
I am worried a little bit that it might be a bit too much.
I think at this point in time we sort of have to back ourselves.
The fireplace was a big hustle to get that in this week.
But it's a double-sided one,
so it should pay off for the master bedroom.
SCOTT: Oh, wow! Yeah.
So, happy to spend the money to... on things like this 'cause...
You could also lie in bed there and watch someone on the loo...
Yeah, if you want to. ..through the fireplace.
No, the bed's over there. Bed's gonna be...
KARA: Whatever floats your boat, eh?
SCOTT: Well, I'm really impressed with your bravery.
Thank you. Yeah, thanks, Scotty.
You're having a crack. Yeah. And you're listening.
Alright, good work. Thanks, guys.
Thank you, guys. See you later.
Bye. My bum is very hot.
Whoa. (LAUGHS)
I'll turn it off 'cause we don't have enough gas.
Across the valley in house two,
Rachel's very expensive tiles still haven't shown up
and her patience has run out.
(RINGING TONE) # Take me to the place I love... #
I went to call. I said to Ryan, "That's it.
"Cancel the tiles. Cancel the tiles. Cancel the tiles."
I felt like an idiot.
I couldn't believe I'd spent this money on the tiles.
We are so over budget. They're not even here.
The whole thing's a disaster. I don't want them anymore.
Give me my money back. Furious.
(RINGING TONE)
Well, then they didn't answer the phone.
(BOTH LAUGH)
MAN: (ON PHONE) Hi. You've called the...
The next thing you know, five seconds later,
Luke sends us a text message.
Tiles are in,
with these sexy tiles in his passenger seat.
Hey! (LAUGHS)
(CLICKS TONGUE)
You beauty!
Better late than never, mate. (LAUGHS)
Friday, 5:00.
And everything was worth it.
(CELESTIAL MUSIC)
That's it. Where's the rest of them?
That's $1,700 worth of tiles right there.
Oh! Don't drop them.
Mwah! Mwah!
There's a little window. Yeah, look.
Look at that!
Whoo!
It's a work of art.
That is art. That is art. There we go.
That is artwork.
We are tiling our bathroom in art.
How country is that!
These unbelievable drop-your-pants tiles came in.
Oh!
BARRY WHITE: # I've heard people say that... #
Oh! Look at them.
Look at that.
I'm sorry, but anyone that wants to tell me
that that is not worth the money
has got rocks in their head.
You make all these decisions so quickly
and a lot of the time you're not even seeing
the things that you're betting on.
And then, you know, all I was thinking was, "Oh, my god,
"if I've stuffed this up,
"I've ruined this whole week for us budget-wise, design-wise.
"I've ruined the whole thing."
And then the tiles arrived.
(LAUGHS)
Oh, my god!
Oh!
No way, mate.
(SQUEALS)
It was unbelievable.
It was magic.
You know, it just makes me miss my kids a little bit less
with tiles like this.
Just... (LAUGHS) Just a little bit less.
(BIRDSONG) (DOG BARKS)
(BIRDSONG)
SCOTT: In the beautiful Macedon Ranges,
all our houses are a hive of activity, except one.
Dylan and Jenny were shut down for two hours for a safety breach...
Oh, my god.
..and have only just been allowed to start work again.
We're all good in the 'hood.
And off in the distance in house two,
the Super Ks and I are continuing our visit with Rachel and Ryan.
Hello! Yay!
Oh, we love you! How you going?
Hi, mate.
We're kind of big fans of them. So nice to meet you!
How are you? KYAL: Yeah, good, thanks.
We watched their documentary
where they renovated their own house.
Yeah, we love Kyal and Kara. Yeah, we like them.
We like their style. And they were awesome people.
Mate, this looks great, yeah.
It's a rollercoaster this week... KARA: OK.
..because we found some tiles and they're, like, the masterpiece
that are going behind the vanity.
SCOTT: So, how much have these tiles behind this splashback cost?
$1,700. Oh!
(SCOTT LAUGHS) KARA: For that little bit?
Yeah.
SCOTT: Super Ks, your thoughts, please.
Oh, look, it's pretty crazy.
(OTHERS LAUGH) $1,700.
Paid cash for them? Paid cash for them.
Oh, my god. Your budget is blown completely already.
RYAN: Shh.
We've only had a few interactions with Scotty since we've been here
and they just all seem to be...
We almost seem to be getting in trouble every time.
I know your budget. I know.
You went 12 grand over on the first bathroom.
Then you clawed back to six. You're now six in the red.
Oh, that's better than I thought we were.
(RYAN LAUGHS) I thought we were ten in the red.
We're six in the red?
I mean, you shouldn't be smiling at this
because it's none of that money is going into landscaping. I know.
And it took me three months to do just the front yard of my joint
'cause it's so big.
I get that we're over budget.
We really tried to recoup what we could.
And you guys have got no money and you haven't started.
You haven't even asked me a question
about where I could start or anything.
You haven't even thought about it, have you?
We're still waiting for some concept plans to come back first.
Oh... We've thought about it.
We've definitely thought about it. Yeah.
I'll tell you what, in about five or six weeks time,
you'll be doing nothing 'cause you'll have no money.
That's the key to this whole competition.
Scotty, you come in here and rip our heart out every time.
I'm not ripping your heart out.
I'm just giving you sound advice about budgeting.
Yep. Come on, let's go.
KYAL: Thanks, guys. Thanks, Scotty. Thanks a lot.
Thanks, guys. Great to meet you guys.
You too. Bye. Thanks a lot, mate.
See you, mate. Thank you. Thank you. Good luck.
Cheers. Cheers. Thank you.
(BLEEP) man. (LAUGHS) What?
Oh...
What?
No, it'd be nice to just have someone walk in once and go, "Wow!"
Anyway, it's all good.
For me, at that point, getting another, you know, in my mind,
another hammering was just...
It got me at, like, you know...
In front of Kyal and Kara, who we really respect,
I felt really small at that point, you know.
I felt like we had to put a lot of effort and we're trying to listen
and we're trying to be respectful
and we're trying to take the advice from all these amazing people
and we're really trying...
Don't. Come here. (CRIES) I just want to go home.
No, no, no, no. It's alright.
(CRIES) It's alright.
Don't worry about that, bub. It's alright.
(CRIES) I'm just over it. Like, I just feel like we...
(CRIES)
They know that we're over budget. It's OK.
We're still doing a good job, bub.
We're doing a great job.
(SIGHS)
Hey, do you want a cuddle?
Come here. It's alright. We're doing a great job.
(CRIES) We're doing a good job.
Boys! Scotty!
Oh! Scotty.
The old KitKats. KitKats.
I like them. They're tough. But...
They're hard to lay.
'Cause we won the first time we did a wet area,
Oz and I were very, very confident
we could literally do better than that
because it was our first big week on the block.
The pressure is there. Let me have a look in here.
Oh, a seat as well. Curved as well.
Yeah. And I love a seat in the shower.
Have you ever sat down and had a shower?
Yes, because the handheld. In Japan, that's all we did.
That's alright, mate.
And it's the most relaxing 20 minutes of your life.
Because you played footy there, you know...
Yeah, I know. Oh... That's the inspiration.
We curved it as well, so... I love it, mate. Well done, boys.
Would you like three tens in this bathroom from the judges?
Of course. We would love three tens.
Three tens. Imagine that. Can you imagine getting that?
Ten out of ten. From all three judges.
Well, guess what. What?
I've got a couple of people that are experts at getting 30 out of 30.
Kyal and Kara, in your come. Wow.
Hello, guys. How are you?
I recognised them.
Yeah, Kyal and Kara.
Yeah, I recognised them.
I thought it was someone famous, a footy player or an NFL player...
We saw them outside. Yeah. Yeah, he's got a good smile.
KYAL: I love the look of this bathroom. This is really cool.
Look around the back. We got a curved seat.
Did you guys have that eight years ago?
Oh, wow!
For the curved seat, it's obviously very hard to mitre
and put the mosaics on, so we've decided to match the vanity stone...
Mmm. ..and we're gonna put that on the curved seat over the top of it.
Give it that nice feel.
You don't have to overdo it and tile every single surface...
This is beautiful.
You know, it pays, like, a good tribute to the style of home
that you've got as well.
It was Kara, actually.
She asked where we were gonna put the towels,
so we had a little discussion about that.
They gave us a bit of feedback
and we actually took it into consideration.
SCOTT: And with the shadows getting long, that only leaves one thing.
Take it away, Dan.
DAN: Righto. No more power tools!
MAN: Can we be exempt from that?
No.
SCOTT: The tools are down
but that's far from too late for a final drama for Dylan and Jenny
in house four.
They are not only a day and a half behind in their tiling
but also had a two-hour shutdown today,
so another problem is the last thing they need.
I was going through the tiles
and realised two boxes of tiles have been smashed.
Great. It's broken.
We decided to count them all up and make sure they're all there.
We wouldn't normally do that.
The maths says there's not enough tiles here, so...
It is what it is.
There wasn't enough tiles on the pallet.
Just realised that we're short eight boxes of tiles.
If we don't get the tiles,
we definitely won't finish the bathroom.
Hello. WOMAN: (ON PHONE) Hello.
Hey. Hey.
So, you're missing eight boxes
of 600 x 600 Sicily tiles?
Yes, that's right. Ah.
So, the good news is...
Yeah?
..the warehouse is open until 9:00 tonight.
OK.
They're staying open for us tonight. Till what time?
9:00. Yeah, I'll go get them now.
Are you sure? It's on the way home.
Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much.
And Beaumont saved the day.
(LAUGHS) OK.
Thank you so much, Sarah. (LAUGHS) No worries.
I'm sorry.
Oh, my god. I'm so sorry. That's alright.
Just send me the address. I'm leaving now, though. OK.
We love The Block. It's so fun.
SCOTT: Coming up... (LAUGHTER)
..Omar and Oz put on a Middle Eastern feast.
Oh, my god, this is so good. I should've been Lebanese.
But tears are shed.
You'll be alright. (KISSES)
And you know what else happened that night?
Perfection is what we're chasing now.
Wow. That's huge.
(BIRDSONG) (DOG BARKS)
(GENTLE MUSIC)
SCOTT: With just 36 hours before master ensuite reveal,
it's been a massive day for our Blockheads.
There were ups...
(CHEERING)
Hi. Hello. How you going?
Hey!
..and there were downs.
(CRIES) They know that we're over budget.
It's OK. We're still doing a good job, bub.
Thanks to our catch.com ambassadors Kyal and Kara, there were gifts.
Thank you. Oh! We love freebies.
Oh, that's so pretty. Oh, thank you very much.
Thank you. Oh, wow.
Thanks, guys. But not for everyone.
I said to Ryan, "That's it.
"Cancel the tiles, cancel the tiles, cancel the tiles."
Argh!
Give me my money back. Furious.
There were shutdowns...
Oh, no. Yeah, no tiling for two hours.
He actually said he won't get it done, though.
That's next-level, eh?
..and there were celebrations.
More wins, more views.
Now that the work day's done, everyone's heading to my place,
where Omar and Oz have taken over...
Hey, boys. How good!
..and have put on a very special feast.
Omar and I have decided to run a Eid feast
for our celebration of the end of Ramadan.
It looks beautiful.
We're not eating at all and drinking at all
during literally the work hours of the day.
We surprised each other that we actually got through it all.
Oh, my god, this is so good. I should've been Lebanese.
Eat up, guys. Eat up. Eat up.
This is the best rice I've ever eaten.
You really... Yeah.
..have a new level of appreciation for people that go through Ramadan.
And, like, today, to be honest,
I got really embarrassed, 'cause I love you guys.
While everybody's tucking into their Middle Eastern feast,
Rachel still has the earlier conversation
with the Super Ks and myself on her mind.
There's only so much of, like... Oh, babe.
"You're not doing the right thing, you're not doing the right thing..."
You're allowed to totally have that moment back.
Like, and it's healthier for you to have that moment than to hold it in.
I couldn't hold it in and everyone was so great.
Oh... You're probably missing the kids.
Like, there's a lot happening. Just it happens.
It's a rollercoaster. Yeah.
Scotty's like your dad, but I was only copping
the real angry version of your dad for a while.
Sometimes I've gotta get a bit stronger and a bit tougher,
because you know why?
Because I want you to succeed. No, I know.
That was really, really nice and, like, very appreciated.
Yeah, of course. I really needed it.
Thank you. You'll be alright.
I've never gone anywhere where there's alcohol
and cried before I've even had a sip.
You're doing awesome.
We're not close enough to hug yet, so... We are.
OK, folks, I've got a bit of an announcement to make.
When Scotty pulls us all together, we know something's gonna happen,
especially 'cause Kyal and Kara are here too.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much to Omar and Oz
for organising this enormous spread here.
We loved it.
But more so, thank you to the team over there,
'cause quite frankly, the boys did nothing, really.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) The team did it all.
Yeah, we did a lot, guys. We did a lot.
And the food was spectacular.
I hope everybody's as thrilled as I am to have Kyal and Kara here.
They are living proof of what the future can hold after The Block.
Obviously, Kyal and Kara came around with some last-minute styling gifts
for you guys from Catch.
And you know what else happened that night?
Oooh, a cow.
Catch Cow!
The Catch Cow! The Moo-ney Cow.
Oh... No.
Very good guess. This is the Catch Cow.
Whoo!
And old mate here is stuffed chock-a-block full of $100 notes.
(WHISTLING) Make it rain, baby.
50 of them. What did you call it? Moo-ney?
Moo-ney.
Like, the worst pun I've ever heard, but, yeah, well done.
And if you can't do the maths, that is...
(CHEERING)
..5,000 bucks.
(CONTESTANT CHEERS) Whew.
Here. Here. Here. Money.
Yes. Correct. There is a catch...
Oh... .com.au.
(LAUGHTER) Who wants one of these cows?
CONTESTANTS: Me! Of course you do!
Well, you can all have one... Oooh.
..if you get a ten... Oh.
..on Sunday night in the studio.
Oh, you're kidding. Oh...
Well, then, I'll see you later. (LAUGHS)
I can tell you right now, if you get three tens, you get $15,000.
Three cows.
And I'm assuming if you get 30 out of 30, you're gonna win the night,
so that's a 25 grand Sunday.
Wow. That's huge. That's crazy.
Good money. Big money.
These guys hold the record for the most amount of tens.
They got nine of them in a season. Wow.
Five grand for every ten that we had,
that would go a long way in our budget back in the day.
That's insane. That's insane.
So you could essentially win $25,000 on one night.
Perfection is what we're chasing now. Yeah.
Get a ten, get a cow. Alright.
Alright, that's it. Well done.
I'll just shake your hand there, Scotty.
Oh, thank you... Hey! You'd chew my arm off.
I think we're a big chance at maybe one ten.
We've got it covered.
Drop it. (SINGS)
(BOTH EXCLAIM) (LAUGHS)
No, that's me in the villa, guys. This is actually warming me up.
I don't know why we don't do this more often.
You know what, every interview, we've got to cut it.
NARRATOR: These...
DARREN: Bam! My mind exploded.
..are simply...
NEALE: I love the size.
..the best Block bathrooms...
SHAYNNA: How glam-or-ous.
..ever revealed!
Oh! (IMITATES EXPLOSION)
Are you kidding me!
Exquisite ensuites.
I love this.
SCOTTY: You renovated it to perfection.
Exploding with dazzling country glory.
(GASPING) Oh. Oh! Ohh!
I'll have what I'm having right now.
And...
Our wow feature is these tiles.
The great...
Oh dear.
I've never seen this.
KEITH: We have to stop you from working, guys.
Oh. What?
(BLEEP) over this.
Makes the Blockheads blow a gasket.
Argh!
Sunday night will delivery drama...
Couldn't even look at them, I were that pissed off.
..til the cows come home.
This is soo good!
Boom!
