It's Tom and Sarah-Jane! (SARAH-JANE GASPS AND YELPS)
Last Sunday, House 1 beat Omar and Oz by one point using the gnome.
Yeah! We're the bathroom kings! We won, we're the bathroom kings!
Great.
And the judging has left some contestants furious.
If this is the style that the judges want to see,
there's no way we'll win a room because I'm not doing this.
I think the execution is nowhere near, like, a ten.
There are people that, every week, are getting money in the bank,
and we are busting our arse.
It's Kitchen Week and, for the first time,
everyone's in the new pavilion with some teams doing well.
I actually had a really, really good week.
Nothing horrible happened this week.
And some doing it tough.
What are we missing?
I don't... I just...
I can't and I don't.
And on top of this huge week, the teams have also been renovating
the home of Tim and Tyler, two very deserving young men.
In an hour, there'll be no more pergola.
It's amazing to be able to take the time away from the Block
to give to something that's more meaningful
and better than anything that we could ever do there.
And even with all that going on,
we're also using a 3D printer to build a cabana.
And there was a celebrity visitor.
Hey! (LACONIC MUSIC PLAYS)
I've come to help.
Give me a class, I can't paint.
Then you do this section.
Go back and get all that stuff there.
Celebrity guest might be helping another team with their painting.
Ron-dog... Loves gossip.
..loves a bit of gossip, loves a bit of drama and stirring the pot.
I counted 17 trades at House 5.
Something is not adding up.
Tonight, joy...
WOMAN: Who's that? (CHILD CRIES GLEEFULLY)
Sorrow.
Yeah, did you want me to get Ryan? I just want to go.
Gossip.
"Everyone is starving".
BOTH: I've put on three kilos!
And, later, lots of kitchen surprises.
Whoa!
I'm...
..awestruck.
(WACKY SOUND EFFECTS, DOG BARKS)
SCOTTY: With just over one day left before kitchen reveals,
in House 2, the mood is bleak.
Chin up, good day comin' up.
I hope so.
We need it.
I'm ready for this week to be... Do you reckon you'll win this week?
No. Why?
Because my kitchen's very neutral.
In the past, they've called that boring, timid, safe, bland,
you know, and that's what it's gonna be again this week.
I hate having this defeatist attitude,
but I can't seem to shake it.
It's just... I hate it. It's not easy, is it?
It's bloody hard. Yeah.
I know, myself, if...
When I'm designing outside of here,
it takes me a long time, certainly not a week.
No. It takes me months.
Yep.
So, I can understand what you're going through.
It would be tough.
Yeah, just...
You know what, though, you're doin' a bloody good job.
Thanks, Keith. You really are.
Thank you.
The judges mightn't think so but I do,
I reckon you're doing a great job.
Thanks, mate. You're a legend.
Alright, I'm going to get coffee.
I need coffee.
RACHEL: Um, look, I'm not feeling great this morning.
I'm probably at the lowest state
that I have been in over this six weeks.
I don't feel like I'm doing a good job on The Block.
Our baby's not well at home.
I don't feel like I'm there.
You know, my son's sick and I'm not there, you know, like...
I just don't feel like I'm doing a good job anywhere, and I'm tired
and I'm exhausted and, to be honest, I'm just...want to go to sleep.
On top of their huge kitchen week workload,
our Blockheads also have a challenge.
Let's get renovating! Yes!
Let's go! Come on, team, let's do it!
Renovating the home of Tim and Tyler,
two young men with severe disabilities.
Today, Omar and Oz are doing their bit.
We were there to give the back and side to the front fence a paint job.
This is something very close to our hearts so we have to go hard.
So, you're painting all this fence? Yes, sir.
That's a big effort. Yes, sir.
Gotta get it done.
The boys are back next Thursday
so we want to try to get all of this done for them before they come back.
You know what's apparent to me
is that you guys are working harder here than you do at the Block!
Of course. Keith...
Because it's for charity, yeah? Yes, sir.
This is how they were playing golf before we came.
Target golf. This is how they were putting.
Ah! So, we've decided...
So, is that a putting green?
..that we're gonna do a putting green for them.
Cool.
Not only are they doing a putting green,
there'll also be a basketball court, a trampoline and a veggie garden.
It's looking amazing, to be honest.
Can't wait.
We're almost done and then back to site
to finish off a ten-by-ten-metre kitchen, literally.
I'll see you back there, mate.
Back on site, Ronnie's helping whoever he can.
At Dylan and Jenny's, he's spotted a problem.
Their insulation's in with no gyprock on top.
JENNY: We can't do this until living/dining,
but I've got a pendant coming out of that ceiling.
Yeah, oh, sh-- So...
Well, no, technically, this is part of your kitchen 'cause it finishes.
Yeah, so, Ronnie came in and he's like,
"Listen, guys, if you don't do this ceiling, you...
"the judges will say you haven't finished
"because this is technically your kitchen."
I think what we should do here is get a ceiling up for reveal.
100%.
I'll give you a hand. I'm here for the next...
I gotta leave at 2:30, 3:00.
Really? But I'll give you a hand.
Like, I didn't know what they were thinking.
They've got an island benchtop that comes over two metres,
they've got a feature light coming out over the bench
and there's no gyprock on the ceiling.
Yeah.
Just do me a favour, don't go tell House 2, alright,
'cause she's already cracked it.
She's thought...
She thinks I've actually painted the whole house of House 3.
Does she? So, who does she think I am?
I won't tell anyone.
Arthur, what's goin' on?
Old contestants are allowed to help.
Oh! Did you know that?
How many times have you watched The Block?
I did not know that! Oh, wow!
Get your Rolodex out.
I did not know that! Get your Rolodex out.
Old contestants have been brought in to give paint lessons
and paint with and for contestants
who are apparently the worst painters
that Scotty Cam has ever seen on The Block.
(BELL TOLLS)
Contestants who have won a room.
Contestants who...
(BELL TOLLS)
..got nines and nine and a halfs on Master Bedroom Week
with the worst painting that Scotty Cam's ever seen on The Block.
So, while Dylan and Jenny prepare the gyprock,
Ronnie pops over to see Rachel and set the record straight.
How are ya? How you doin' this morning, hey?
I Had fun last night. Did you?
Yeah, I did.
Are you painting or what? Does it look like I'm painting?
Yeah, but I've seen you paint, Ronnie.
You could've got it done in two hours.
No, mate, I haven't come here to paint.
I wasn't (BLEEP) doing it. Really?
Just tips and tricks, mate.
So, there was no painting?
Undercoat, maybe a wall of maybe 12.5 metres, that's about it.
Yeah.
All I'm asking for is fairness, that's it.
You know, I want to walk in on Sunday night
and feel that we might be in with a shot.
I don't ever feel like that.
They've brought someone in to help them with the one area
that's making them not get the ten grand every week.
I know what you're going through. It's tough.
But you guys are halfway through, mate.
I know, that's what's scaring me.
You can see the light at the end of the tunnel,
like, you can just see it's just getting bigger and bigger.
Six more weeks.
So, you're gonna get there. Yeah.
Ronnie came over, it was actually really, really nice.
Everyone says Ronnie's a big softie.
Um, it did actually make me feel better.
You can do it, mate. Thank you.
Huh? Thank you.
You can do it.
I believe in you, and I can honestly say that I just helped 'em paint
one little, small wall and that was me teaching 'em how to do it.
Yeah.
And, trust me, when you're cutting in with a roller, you need help.
(UPBEAT POP TRACK PLAYS)
JENNY: So, he's a legend.
Ronnie, he went and got changed,
come back and helped us throw sheets up.
This is like 9:00 on a Saturday,
and his flight was at, he had to leave...
Yeah, at, like, 3 or 4, yeah.
# No more dancing for me no
# Unless it's with you. #
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)
We're on the way back. Talk to me.
Uh, we got back, then all I heard was just beeping.
I'm like, "Oh!"
(HORN HONKING)
Oh!
(UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYS)
Is that Dad?
That's Daddy, that's Dad! That's Dad!
And then, yeah, I see the wife and kids
and you see my oldest son, Malik,
just running with his nice safety boots and fluoro vest.
So cute.
(MUSIC CONTINUES)
(TALKS INDISTINCTLY)
(MALIK GIGGLES)
Oh!
(GROANS CONTENTEDLY)
(CRYING AND VOICE WARBLING)
As-salaam-alaikum, bubba!
It was amazing. It was a good feeling.
The hugs are unexplainable, to be honest.
That's the connection between a father and son.
Like, that's the world in my hand.
(TALKS INDISTINCTLY)
As-salaam-alaikum!
(TALKS INDISTINCTLY)
Bubba! Hello!
Give me a hug.
(VOICE WARBLES)
Um, and Omar was there rumbling with his nephew,
so it was good, it was good, it was amazing.
(LAUGHTER)
You gotta get on the floor!
He's got my neck!
Love you. (CHILD TALKS INDISTINCTLY)
(WACKY LAUGHTER)
Dad, you're too fast!
# Take me out! #
('TAKE ME OUT' BY FRANZ FERDINAND PLAYS)
# I know I won't be leaving here
# With you. #
Next door in House 2, Rachel's Caesarstone has finally arrived.
Our stone guys turned up at 10:00. 10am.
Awesome guys. Really great guys.
Absolutely love the guys at Caesarstone.
A few measurements were wrong.
(DRAMATIC STING)
Ah, awesome! Yeah, I know.
I'll let you break that news.
What?
They're 20mm short on one of the Caesarstone benches.
Oh, like, this is a joke.
(RYAN LAUGHS) So, what's gonna happen?
Apparently, they've got no stone in stock.
I don't know, Bryce made a few phone calls, so who knows?
Something might happen.
I'm goin'. I'm out.
You go out.
I'm out. You go.
(RACHEL SOBBING)
It's snowballing for Rach.
It just keeps going, you know, and it's building up, it's building up.
Your son gets sick, you're sleep-deprived and then, boom,
you get to a point where you're gonna crack it
and Rach is at that point.
Yeah.
PRODUCER: Did you want me to get Ryan or do you want to just go?
I just want to go. Alright.
I can't say anything more
than I'm probably just at my point of exhaustion.
(POIGNANT MUSIC, WEARY EXHALE)
(SOBBING)
Coming up, another setback for Rachel and Ryan.
Still waiting for the stone guys to come back,
and install all the benchtops and all the splashback.
And, later, it's raining tens.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)
(THUNDER RUMBLES, DOG HOWLS MEEKLY)
In House 4, it looks like pro gyprocker Ronnie
is the man of the hour.
I've just laid the plasterboard in the morning.
Two coats of base coat.
I'm about to do the topcoat.
Topcoat will dry in six hours, they'll get two heat guns on it
and they're ready to paint, reveal tomorrow.
Ronnie saved the day helping us with the plaster.
We...if he didn't come, I honestly...
we wouldn't have done it, and then I just would've been so sad.
You literally saved us, hey?
No, that's fine, but you had to do it.
I mean, now that it's up... How good's that.
..it completely makes sense. How nice is that.
And I really, sincerely think you guys have what it takes to win.
Yeah, so do we, hopefully.
And I reckon you guys are gonna take that kitchen win.
You reckon? Cheers, Ronnie.
Yay, you think so?
Oh, my God, if we do, I'll actually cry.
See ya later. Thank you so much. Thank you.
You've been awesome, guys, and I can't wait to watch it.
Thank you so much. See you, guys, bye.

(DRAMATIC STING)
SARAH-JANE: Oh, my gosh.
Saturday seems to be the day that we absolutely pig out at McDonald's.
We have McDonald's every Saturday. Oh, I love it.
We buy a big meal and we sit with everybody
but, this time, we sat by ourself at McCafe,
and we were eating our nuggets,
and then Dunc came over with some juicy gossip.
He knows I love that stuff.
Oh, hey, Dunc. Hey, Dunc.
How you going?
You've come to join us.
I'm just having lunch with Spence. Yep.
But I really, really want you to see this article that's come out.
The article said "Blockheads' 'brutal' time"
and I was like,
ooh, let me read this while I have my chicken nuggets!
"Contestants have told those close to them
"many of the cast are at breaking point".
Ooh, OK.
I'm at breaking point with you, that's about it.
That's stock standard but. Mm.
"They barely have any food,
"one insider told 'Saturday Confidential'.
"Some days, a muesli bar and apple are as good as it gets".
These are proper burgers.
"Everyone is starving".
BOTH: I've put on three kilos!
(LAUGHTER)
"One female contestant has been crying for three days straight".
Oh!
They must be living with you.
"The Block contestants have described the living conditions
"on the reality TV show as inhumane
"with minimal food and water on offer, freezing temperatures"
and, wait for it, "and a lack of toilet paper".
Ooh! (MOCK CROWD)
That's right, I'm using leaves...
My hand. ..to wipe my hoo-ha.
It says...
Yeah, it'll be very interesting
to see where they got their info from, who their secret source is.
It'll come out, but there seems to be some unhappy contestants.
If somebody did start it here, I don't know why they're here.
And, if it's that hard here, pack your bags and piss off.
If that is one of the contestants, like, that is pretty rough.
Like, you don't come on The Block and say (BLEEP) like that.
House 3 were having a really bad time over the last couple of weeks.
It is hard
but, you know, it's not something that we'd ever take to the papers
and complain about.
We can't deny that the conditions are tough,
but inhumane's a bit of a stretch.
I mean, sometimes but, I mean...
PRODUCER: Interesting that they quoted somebody,
a source on The Block.
I wonder who it was.
But, whoever it has come from, it's not far off.
Does that mean...?
Does that mean we get fed? Does that mean we get fed?
# We are the heroes of our time
# Whoa whoa
# But we're dancing with the demons in our minds
# Whoa whoa
# We are the heroes. #
(FRAUGHT MUSIC PLAYS)
RYAN: Where the hell are the stone guys?
Are these guys coming back today
or is this gonna be a bloody tomorrow morning thing?
Still waiting for the stone guys to come back
and install all the benchtops and all the splashback,
so then undermount sinks can go in.
There's a fair bit that needs to happen after the stone guys.
(MYSTICAL MUSIC PLAYS)
11:00 at night, they turned up to put our stone on our bench.
Hello!
Hooray!
How are we? Oh...
You're not on your own, are you? No, no, the boys are coming now.
Welcome back.
Over the last six weeks,
we have met Kyal and Kara, Scotty Cam, Shell, Ronnie.
I've never been more excited to see anyone
than I have been to see Caesarstone.
I'm so excited.
(ROOSTER CROWS, DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)
RYAN: 'Cause our guys didn't finish till about 2:00 this morning,
I asked 'em when they were wrapping up, saying,
"Hey, what's the silicone you've got?"
And they're like, "Oh, we don't provide silicone."
OK, none of that's gonna work.
Most of the time, you get these coloured silicones
from, like, tile shops, so, being Sunday,
not sure if we're gonna be able to get the right one.
And I don't want to just throw anything in there
because it needs to have the right silicone.
I wish I had a little bit more time to get stuff together.
I wish I had a few more styling options.
Hopefully, the judges can understand,
so maybe they might be lenient.
But will they be lenient?
Who knows?
Probably not.
TOM: I love this oven.
It's a piece of artwork.
(DING WITH EACH LIST ITEM)
Mm.
And then I'm done.
ANKUR: We got some sleep.
Four hours' sleep.
Or five hours' sleep which is amazing.
Yeah, still have heaps to do.
(FAINT BIRD CALLS)
OZ: Like, we're sitting,
front seat full speed and movin'.
We've got Glenn and the boys fitting off the last electrical.
We've got Omar and I literally just running like chooks
trying to fit off, fit off, fit off.
JENNY: I'll be confident if we clean up how I want to, yeah.
The time goes so quick, that's the only thing.
Time just goes...
Time sure does.
(FRAUGHT MUSIC PLAYS)
And, in case you've forgotten, I'm delivering a kitchen, as well.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)
You got half an hour, Jen, and we're done.
Open up...yeah. Cheeseboard.
Fridges.
Pantries.
Stools. Wet bars. Stools.
Spice bars. Plates, pots, coffee cups.
Oh, there's (BLEEP) everywhere, I can't even deal with it.
Ow!
(GROANS UNDER BREATH) Come on.
I'm gonna design kitchens for Winning with Oz.
We're gonna be the number-one ambassadors.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)
It's nearly three metres long.
There or...?
Oh, I don't care, really, to be honest.
(MUSIC INTENSIFIES)
Just goin' in.
Oh, the jug!
The last piece of the puzzle.
Alright.
Almost there!
(MUSIC CONTINUES)
(JENNY CHUCKLES)
I did check everything.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, right at it!
(SHRILL WHISTLE)
Tools down!
Not you, Nick, you keep goin', mate. Thanks, mate.
(UPBEAT POP TRACK PLAYS, BOYS TALK INDISTINCTLY)
Good, yeah, group hug, group hug!
Good job!
(BOTH GROAN CONTENTEDLY)
Why is it like this every time?
Love you.
Looks awesome, well done. This is amazing.
# This is what a love song sounds like. #
Good work.
You did well. You did, too.
Coming up, the biggest kitchens we've ever seen on The Block.
(WACKY SOUND EFFECTS, DOG BARKS)
# Yeah!
# I really really really really really really like you
# And I want you... #
Scotty. G'day, gang.
(SONG CONTINUES)
Scott. Hello.
Hello.
Good evening, everybody.
Hey, Scotty. Hey, Scotty.
Hey, you all look absolutely magnificent.
I mean, bit of a contrast there, Dylan and Jen.
(LAUGHTER) Hey?
You're wearing boardies!
Jen looks like she's going to a ball, you're...
you're going to the beach, mate.
Enormous effort this week.
Really well done.
It was a tough week again, wasn't it?
Yeah. Yeah.
But you delivered up five magnificent kitchens.
I went and looked at 'em all today. They were fantastic.
And I've got 10,000 bucks from Ford to give to someone tonight.
Let's find out what the judges had to say with some feedback.
(UP-TEMPO STRINGED COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS)
Here we go, House 1, Tom and Sarah-Jane.
(TOM TRILLS LIPS NERVOUSLY)
(FUNKY MUSIC PLAYS)
Here we have the Majestic.
I mean...
A real statement to your kitchen.
Yes.
Tom and Sarah-Jane! (SARAH-JANE YELPS)
As you can see, we had a tie!
You're lucky you used the gnome. BOTH: Yeah.
We definitely deserved the win.
Like everyone else,
Tom and Sarah-Jane's kitchen is in the new pavilion.
The kitchen is located here with views to the north and the west,
and their butler's pantry facing east.
To screed or not to screed, that is the answer.
Well... No, that's the question.
Decided that we had to baton our whole floor out with timber.
We opened our letterbox and there was a letter there
from a local lady and about her son, Tim, who has Down's syndrome.
He lives in a house with his best friend, Tyler,
so we're renovating their home.
Kitchen's coming along great, the boys are trowling away.
I am hoping to have it ready for a light sand in the morning,
and then I can get a quick coat of paint on.
Today is my shopping day.
# Shop shop shop shop shop. #
# Boom boom boom boom boom
# Put it on Suncorp yeah. #
Freedom Kitchens, they just sent in an army to pump it out,
and that they did.
They were just...
Getting a pot filler, fills your pot right there on the stove.
Why is he getting a quote for a shipping container?
We're doin' a hobbit hut.
I didn't know about the idea at all.
I'm gonna do a little kids' retreat, a deck, a barbeque area.
I gotta say, SJ, you're very brave in your selection of finishes.
Had an awesome week. Very happy.
That kitchen is sick.
I love it, don't care what the judges say in that sense.
If they ridi-cool it, it's...
Ridicule it, that's the first time I'll be like, "What?"
Really cool it?
(SIGHS)
I'm leaving.
# I'm ready I'm ready... #
('I'M READY' BY AJR PLAYS)
(SONG CONTINUES)
(HORSE WHINNIES)
(SONG FADES)
Oh! Whoa!
(SHAYNNA GASPS)
Oh, my...
(NEALE CHUCKLES)
The birds were chirping, the sun was out.
They were ready for whatever came their way.
And then...
There are times when I wish there was a word that kind of meant 'wow'
times a hundred 'cause wow just doesn't cut it.
Phenomenal and breath-taking were a couple of suggestions.
I'm...
..awestruck.
All three judges loved your massive Ilve oven.
And I look at the size of that,
like, I can only just reach the ends of it.
They don't call it the Majestic for nothing.
And then they took in the fridge, and what a colour.
Brushed rose gold. Brushed rose gold.
And the rose gold there and the copper pots that go with it.
Taking in the whole kitchen and all of the mixed metals, brass, copper,
rose gold, steel, aged brass.
If you were playing by the rules, this shouldn't work.
But it does.
But, somehow, you have mixed them together so well.
The metal is a colour that ties in with another colour in the space,
which is how you can blend these things, that complexity together.
Mm! That is mastery.
It takes genuine insight to do this.
If somebody said,
"Design the ultimate contemporary country kitchen,"
wouldn't it be like this?
And then Shaynna found the charcuterie fridge.
And then there's a wine fridge.
No, it's not a wine fridge!
Like, what is this?
Oh! Oh, my God.
Oh!
She doesn't even eat meat and she wants one.
A charcuterie and fromagerie cabinet.
My God! Wow! Wow!
Apart from the wow factor of the appliance,
the messaging to the market
in the way that that has been presented is pure luxury.
Mm-hm.
They then turned to functionality.
There's a bin beside the sink on one side and a dishwasher on the other.
OK. Yes, yay! Yep.
Alright, so, we have a cleaning zone.
And one of my biggest bugbears is having a sink
that you can't put a tray in, especially a tray from a big oven.
Mm! Yeah.
So, they've actually thought of the functionality of this kitchen
in terms of the five zones,
in terms of a cooking zone, a cleaning zone, all this prep space.
We have consumables, all of your non-consumables are over here.
And do yourself a favour.
Flip around and take that in.
Wow! (NEALE LAUGHS)
It's...
It's incredible.
It's really, really well designed.
Again, it's the ultimate entertainer's kitchen
because you've got this incredible space.
Then they headed to the butler's pantry.
# We're cool for the summer. #
(POP TRACK CONTINUES)
Look at this.
That's a kitchen on its own.
Wow! Like...
Look, we have ovens, right?
Who styles a kitchen like this?
Tom and Sarah-Jane.
It's so beautifully done.
Neale thinks that this is not only a tribute to Tom and Sarah-Jane,
but it's a tribute to Freedom Kitchens.
Because, to me, it is the perfect fusion of contemporary and country.
Just the choice throughout
of these beautiful, glossy, small subway tiles
just give it that edge of sophistication,
and everything from, you know, the panelling on the cabinetry here,
the profile of this cabinetry, these beautiful knobs.
Everything to me speaks modern luxury
but with that beautiful country twist.
Darren then quoted the expected sales brochure.
This is a luxury home with luxury inclusions.
How often do you read that on a real estate brochure,
and you're like, "Sure."
But, I mean, this is, legit, a luxury home with luxury appliances,
luxury inclusions, luxury, luxury, luxury.
Darren believes that the best styling is functional styling,
and this is spot on.
And there's a place for everything.
That's good zone.
It's appropriate, it's not screaming look at me.
Yeah.
But what it is screaming is come here,
I'm gonna cook you the most amazing dinner.
We're gonna open bottles of wine
and we're gonna have the most amazing party.
It's just...
It wraps itself around you
in the way that Tom and Sarah-Jane's other rooms have been doing.
They couldn't find anything to fault in here, either.
The execution is excellent,
the design is next level and it's pristine clean.
This house has a pulsating heart,
and this kitchen is just beautiful.
Bam! Like, my mind exploded.
This is definitely a kitchen that is going to be hard to beat.
That's it.
Thank you. Wowee.
Well done.
Thank you, babe.
(HORSE WHINNIES)
That horse, what a crack-up that horse is.
Holy hell, that was good feedback.
Thank you.
Do you know what, I loved our kitchen.
I haven't seen anyone else's. No, I haven't seen theirs.
And we just focus solely on producing the best we can.
Deserves it. May the best kitchen win.
(WACKY SOUND EFFECTS, DOG BARKS)
# I've been here all night # Ariana
# I've been here all day # Nicki Minaj. #
OK, House 2, Rachel and Ryan.
# Got me walkin' side to side. #
So, the Cocos in black. Quite like that in black.
It's a rollercoaster and it's hard when it doesn't feel fair.
Rachel and Ryan's massive kitchen is north facing
with a galley-style butler's here.
Planned a really neutral kitchen based on fear in week two,
and we've just come out of a judgment
where we've been called safe.
Really kind of not feeling great.
So, we arrive at the challenge house,
and Tim and Tyler's house needs some love.
None of us were even thinking about our own houses at that point.
We were just thinking about Tim and Tyler's house.
Wednesday's all up to Freedom.
They have free rein of the whole kitchen and pantry.
Our layout's perfect. Perfect.
Marty Fox, he's gonna sell our house.
And so is Kim McQueen.
So, Kim McQueen is the highest-grossing agent
in the Macedon Ranges.
Is this like some weird social experiment
to see how much we can be doubted until we break?
I already know the feedback that's coming for us on Sunday.
I don't think it will matter how I style it.
PRODUCER: Rach, what's the main thing
you hope the judges are taking away from your room right now?
I don't know, to be honest.
I don't know what I want them to take away.
(LACONIC POP TRACK PLAYS)
Walking into your kitchen today...
# It isn't enough for you
# It isn't enough for you... #
All coming to life now.
Oh!
These fridges are blowing my mind.
So, Rachel and Ryan have gone down a more contemporary path,
but with kind of rustic touches.
Shaynna loved the profile of the oyster grey cabinets.
But Shaynna was shocked at just how pared back the room is.
I hate saying this, it is a kitchen without a soul.
Mm.
It actually feels like all the boxes have been ticked, but I'm just...
I'm not feeling it and it's not just because we came from a house
with a pulsing heart is that I was expecting to see some sort of drama.
This doesn't feel welcoming.
It feels like a work in progress.
I really wish they didn't put those lights there.
Darren agrees about the pendant lights.
He thinks a longer tube-style light would be better
to show off the beams above, which are the real hero of the room.
Just a longer pin light or something like the handle on the fridge,
that sort of linear tube, that would look really cool.
It's not right for this environment.
It would look good over a hotel foyer reception.
Yes.
The pendants, not only are they not changing, they're actually goin' in
the other side of the room over the dining table.
Functionally and aesthetically, Darren was seeing lots of positives.
Again, the perfect cleaning zone, a nice, big double sink.
Pull-out tap.
All the things you want it to do.
Mm-hm. Right?
Bank of drawers for days.
Let's see what this is, too.
The most insane oven.
That's two for two today. Yep.
Oh!
That's ama-- And the best pantry solution.
Not only the location
but also the way the shelves come out when you open it.
The styling in it is a bit sparse but the functionality is amazing.
Darren also had praise for the functionality of the room.
His only concern on functionality
was the height of the overhead cabinets and the timber shelves.
Try and grab a wine glass for me.
Yeah. Right?
Press in the middle of that cabinet.
Right. So... Yeah.
You represent a good proportion of the population in terms of height.
He thinks they could've been a bit lower.
Shaynna thinks that the concept of the timber wraparound bench
is fantastic.
And, like, that view is phenomenal.
Like, I feel like that window is in the perfect space, and here...
Do you think this is a bit narrow? Bit mean, bit mean.
Like, even in some parts, like, a dinner plate won't fit here.
Shaynna is concerned it won't take a full-sized dinner plate,
but I think it would.
It does, we tried it. Yeah, we tried it.
Yeah, I sort of read that and thought,
"Well, I could see a plate fitting on there."
That said, it is very well executed
but she just wasn't feeling an emotional connection with it.
All your judges noted the lack of corking,
but also understood your benchtops
were installed in the middle of the night.
So, they were willing to overlook that.
Into the butler's and yet another very generous space.
(UPBEAT POP TRACK PLAYS)
Wow. It's a big butler's.
Another whole kitchen.
Just the luxury of space that the buyer is going to get.
This definitely sells that dream.
It doesn't sell the dream to me.
This kitchen and this butler's pantry is a collection
of cupboards, drawers and shelves but that's it, there's no soul here.
Shaynna did wonder about placing the oven in view of the kitchen.
It should've had a door. Yeah.
It should've had a door, it should've had, you know,
that big, beautiful barn door, you know, some saloon doors,
something should've been a visual barrier
between here and there, absolutely.
Shaynna also noted that you gave yourselves a tough challenge
working with the colour you chose.
It's very hard to get this white palette right,
and that's why it's clinical.
I mean, this is a beautiful stone benchtop
but I feel it's the wrong one,
it should've had more texture, and that would've completely changed it.
I feel very frustrated in this kitchen because I feel like
I wanna roll up my sleeves and bring some life to it.
I want to fill the shelves, I want to add some colour,
I want to put the spice into it.
Darren thinks you can simply add a few elements.
Some paintings on the shelves. Yes!
All that!
Some different pendants.
A oak barn door here... Yes!
..that ties in with this beautiful timber.
It's a bloody good kitchen but needs a bit more drama.
That's it.
Thank you. Thanks. Thank you. Well done, darl.
I think we kind of sat back this morning
and kinda looked at it and I think we could've done better.
Mm.
But we just...
You know, we had to work with what we got in the timeframe
and we still delivered a really nice, spacious room.
(WACKY SOUND EFFECTS, DOG HOWLS MEEKLY)
Ankur and Sharon.
(REGAL MUSIC PLAYS)
It is a new start and it is a really happy start for us this week.
For their first time working in the new pavilion,
Ankur and Sharon's kitchen runs the entire width of the room
and their butler's pantry is placed directly behind.
The process for kitchen week,
because of supply chain issues, was actually designed ages ago.
We feel like, at the time, we had made the right choice
but you do second-guess yourself and go, "Was it good enough a choice?
"Like, is it bold enough?"
Yeah, so, tonight, we are lucky enough
to go stay at the Colorbond Tiny House.
(GLASSES CLINK)
I'd definitely say the highlight of this week
is doing the challenge house, helping out Tim and Tyler.
It definitely puts everything in perspective
and they've been through a lot.
Yeah, just wanted to get onboard and help.
I think we're becoming Block fit
and feeling probably the best that we've felt on The Block so far.
So, tonight is actually the first time
that we'll be able to get paint on a wall this early in the week.
The Ron-dog heard our cries for help.
If I can spend, I don't know, even ten minutes with this guy,
surely, my painting's gonna improve.
I would think that that's probably about $250.
Yes! Wow!
That puts you guys the winners!
Oh! Yeah, well done!
Yeah! Winners!
We won something! Yeah.
We really needed it, too. Yeah.
That fireplace, now we got it.
So, the judges are in your room right now.
I hope that they feel, like, good energy in there, to be honest,
and just, like, a warm heart to the home.
# When I'm around you... #
(HOUSE MUSIC PLAYS)
# And when I'm around you...
# Hey yeah. #
It's a completely... Wow!
..different feeling.
Their first time in the modern part of the build.
Yeah.
And this is a pretty grand statement.
I mean, this feels very elegant, it feels quite classic,
quite timeless, and I have to say I do love those pendants.
Mm.
And Shaynna was loving the black Empira Caesarstone.
I think the drama of this black
works perfectly with the old part of the house,
with some of the dramatic elements.
She was also loving the rose gold accents and Smeg oven you chose.
Look, I've never seen rose gold in the ovens like this.
No.
But this is throwing me
that we've gone complete stainless in that part there.
Mm-hm. I'd go black.
Neale was marvelling at the size of the island bench.
It's huge.
He imagines the owner spending a lot of time
standing there looking out to that view.
And, let's face it, anything that you do in this kitchen
is gonna be incredible because of that facing you.
Moving around the front,
Neale and Shaynna were very impressed
with the view back towards the kitchen.
That is just such a beautiful set-up.
Yes.
Darren, you could be doing your own cooking show right there.
You really could. You really could.
Darren agreed with them on all of this,
and thinks the alabaster choice for the cabinetry is excellent.
He did, however, wonder about the fridge.
Sure, the pink, I think, is interesting
'cause we've got the pink gingham over here
and they're probably planning to do some pink in the rest of the room,
so I'm gonna reserve my thoughts on the pink.
It wasn't the top panels he was worried about.
It was the black on the bottom. Oh!
Because everything else down here below the benches is white.
Fortunately, you can change those panels whenever you like.
Shaynna also liked the way
you brought in the skirting and the cornice mouldings
to give a hint of the heritage of the old part of the house.
But you can see they've square-set the ceiling,
which I think is really clever,
'cause it is that beautiful blend of old and new.
But, while Shaynna was a big fan of the joinery, appliances and layout,
she did have a question mark.
I think the only thing I'm not loving in here is the styling.
There's just a lot just thrown there and, like, that doesn't work.
I think there's too much.
Like, I don't feel like that connects with that and I just...
Yeah, I just think the styling brings it down, unfortunately.
There's no cohesion.
Neale agreed with this.
While the black island delivers drama in the room...
I'm just not getting that magic spark...
Yeah. ..that I have felt.
You know, when you think of that bathroom
they delivered a few weeks ago...
Yeah.
..it was really, sort of, scene-setting and story-telling.
Into yet another huge butler's pantry.
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYS)
Once inside, they quickly realised
they were in a wine lover's kitchen, too.
Pretty schmick wine, too. Yeah.
Mm-hm. This Levantine Hill.
And they were really impressed with the new Smeg wine fridge.
So, if that's the wine cellar,
Shaynna, that drawer underneath, I think you're gonna find...
There you go. Oh, look at all the accessories.
(DARREN SIGHS CONTENTEDLY)
Neale was liking the galley feel you created in this space.
I really like what's happening behind you, too.
I love that wallpaper. Yeah.
I think that is beautiful.
At least all of the cupboards and shelves are at the right height,
according to Darren, and he asked, "Have you noticed the painting?"
Yes. Thank God.
"It's pretty perfect everywhere."
Darren did want me to tell you about how much he loves the floors.
But they weren't sure about the styling, once again.
That is until they found a photo of themselves.
I think the styling's amazing. (NEALE LAUGHS)
Shaynna wondered whether there was enough bench space,
but Neale just thinks it's because there's just too much styling.
It's almost unforgivably messy, in Neale's opinion.
To me, it's creating the impression that it's not functioning.
These flowers do not need to be there.
They're almost making the space feel cluttered,
and making it feel smaller than it actually is.
You need to edit better.
This is just a collection of objects that seem to have been plonked
without any thought about the visual impact.
You delivered a great kitchen this week,
but didn't pay enough attention to styling it, that's it.
Cool.
Well done, guys. Thank you.
Well done, Shaz. Thank you.
How much do we want this win or how much do we need this win?
We need this win, like, 150 million percent.
How much do we want it? Probably exactly the same.
(WACKY SOUND EFFECTS, DOG BARKS)
# No-one can stop me when I taste that feeling
# Nothing could ever bring me... #
OK, House 4, Dylan and Jenny!
Hello.
(UPBEAT POP TRACK PLAYS)
I was just feeling, like, not much on Monday.
I was just pretty over it, to be honest.
Keith's our new bestie.
He said he'd give me four hours of his time,
which ended up, he was there till tools down with me.
Dylan and Jenny's kitchen faces east and north,
and their butler's pantry is placed here.
Open meshing.
Ooh, yes, that looks so nice.
So, something like this with the green colouring and the brass.
Do you reckon, though? Good call, buster.
Being the leader of the challenge house,
it is a little bit stressful
'cause I'm trying to put every bit of my time into that,
but I know that I can't because I've gotta do a kitchen, as well.
Yeah, we're both on the tools at the Block.
Because we haven't won any money yet, we need to.
We got shut down for an hour for a late-night noise complaint,
but we had to get our kitchen in on Wednesday morning,
so we honestly didn't really have a choice.
We don't actually have a roof,
so we're building a beautiful kitchen without a roof,
and we could hear the rain.
We went out to check the kitchen in the morning
and it's all gotten wet 'cause we don't have a roof.
Yeah, it's the main centre of the house.
Heart of the home.
Yeah, it's the heart of the home and I feel like we've got it right.
Like, anyone that walks in there is gonna love it.
# Take my breath away
# And make it last forever babe
# Do it now or never babe
# Take my breath # Take my breath away
# Nobody does it better babe
# Bring me close to heaven babe
Take my breath. #
Ooh!
"Oh, I love this colour."
Oh, yay.
(LAIDBACK MUSIC PLAYS)
Isn't it beautiful? It's stu--
Oh, my God. What?
The brass! Look at this!
Oh, wow. (SHAYNNA GASPS DRAMATICALLY)
"Look at that brass mesh," said Darren.
Yum!
(OTHERS LAUGH)
Ooh! OK.
I honestly wondered what you were gonna do then, Darren.
I just had to touch it.
Neale thinks that what you have presented today
feels like a really authentic country kitchen.
And look at, like, the ribbed glass
and then they've got a bit of panelling behind the rangehood.
They've got the black, heavy rangehood and the cooktop.
With induction. Look, gas and induction.
Thing is you've got the best of both worlds there.
Yeah.
There's so many beautiful textures in here.
She also feels like it's a kitchen
that is laid out where everybody can enjoy.
Well, except for the people sitting at the island bench,
according to Darren.
Come here. What?
Oh...
Oh!
The wrong chairs. The wrong stool.
Yeah.
That's disappointing.
Simple solution, though, just cut the legs down 20, 15mm.
But, that aside, you are getting very high praise from Neale.
It's another one of those kitchens
that reaches out and tugs at the heartstrings.
It's got that emotional connection. Yeah.
And the styling in here feels beautiful.
Darren noticed that, by extending the island bench,
you then also had to extend the ceiling out.
Oh, yeah. Ron-dog.
If only he knew what you went through.
Oh, if only.
The architect's plans would've said
that this is the kitchen because the boundary ends here.
All of that's trussed and that's all open, right?
Mm-hm.
So, the kitchen should be just here but the island bench runs this way
and then, so it doesn't feel out of balance,
they've hung these big pendants here on those long chains
to anchor that so that this all belongs to the kitchen.
It's so clever.
And I love the pendant selection. So do I!
Love it. Yeah. Perfect.
And I love the off centre, it's just heaven for me,
and I just think their lighting plan works.
Darren thinks you've made a raft of very good choices.
The glass, that brass! Yeah.
The handles, the tapware.
Like, every single selection.
The tile choice. Yeah.
The timber floors.
Neale thinks the new Caesarstone Riverlet
was another wonderful choice, great colour for the room.
But it's just got that little layer of personality and character
and spirit and soul and, you know, I could go on.
It feels right for where we are. Yeah.
Shaynna also thinks the execution is pretty damn good.
It is absolutely contemporary Australian country at its finest.
From a marketing point of view, from a brochure point of view,
this is just gold.
But...
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS) Ooh.
Nuh, just kidding. Oh!
Really? Is that it?
Oh... Don't!
It's not it. Oh!
There's no but, though.
Let's see what's behind the door.
(EDGY MUSIC PLAYS)
What's inside is very nice.
Inside the butler's pantry, Shaynna said...
Love, love, love and you know what I love about this, too?
Benchtop all one side and tall appliances
and, oh, I think pantry on that side.
It just feels so much more open and...
(NEALE SIGHS)
..spacious, like, this is the size of a kitchen.
Darren agrees and says the wall sconces
are a really clever and functional addition, as well.
I love the tiles,
I love the profile, I love the colour of the brass.
This benchtop, the sconces, it's just...
It's all so beautifully done.
He also came back to the flooring,
as he believes it's the perfect choice.
Running all the way through into the living and dining.
How beautiful is this decision here.
Like, all the knots, all the imperfections and the colour.
Such a perfect country choice.
Mm-hm, it's stunning.
Neale thinks the styling in here really tells a story.
It's a visual language that will have massive buyer appeal.
Look, if Dylan and Jenny can run with this aesthetic,
I think they will have created a house that...
..I'm gonna say it again, Darren, pulls at the heartstrings, OK?
Pulls at the heartstrings.
He said today this is the best room
you have delivered in the competition.
Ooh, yay! That's so good.
That's it! Yay!
(JENNY GROANS CONTENTEDLY)
Good job. That's so good.
I really want to win,
but I know the boys have got that however much money in their kitchen
and, if they've done a good job of it, then they could win but...
(WACKY SOUND EFFECTS, DOG BARKS)
# Ooh I've gotta know
# Are you gonna tell me? #
Omar and Oz.
(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS)
The winner of week one
and a quarter of a million dollar kitchen upgrade
from Winning Appliances,
it's Omar and Oz!
(CHEERING)
Hey. Omar.
Welcome to Winnings. Omar, hi, I'm Marie.
Lovely to meet you. Hello.
Tom and Sarah-Jane!
The gnome is disgusting, especially when it was meant to be our gnome.
We love our mother's cooking.
To get a kitchen right in a home like this is very important.
Omar and Oz's kitchen is also right across the new build with a bar here
and the butler's behind it, and it has incredible north-facing windows.
When it comes to Tim and Tyler's place
and the challenge at their place, honestly, we will make time.
If there's no time, we will literally make time.
Very, very touching.
It was something that Oz and I are very familiar with.
We do a lot of work like this back at home,
so it was just very nice to be able to do it while we're away.
You got a lot of tradesmen.
We've used three different gyprockers.
Like, why is this happening, guys?
Imagine having a $250,000 kitchen plus, and then you plaster it.
It's gonna be the most prized kitchen on The Block,
that's for sure.
We did get shut down by Keith
due to our dust when we grinded the first go.
It's getting more out of control.
We're constantly catching them doing the wrong thing
and it's simply gotta stop.
So, when the Ron-dog rocked up...
I can see why Ozzy seems to think that he's the king of painting,
but you guys are getting Venetian plaster.
He was trying to have a joke and say
we weren't keen on painting this week, that's why we were doing it.
So, are you scared about painting?
No, for something like this, we gotta give them a good finish.
Pretty much still on track and we are looking good.
The judges are saying, "(BLEEP), wow,
"this is the biggest thing I've ever seen in my life."
# Matter fact let's unpack
# Say I'm flaky I'll take that it's love
# Love that turned you bad
# Matter fact let's unpack
# Take it all I'll get mine back it's love. #
"Oh, my God," Darren said on entering your kitchen today.
This is it.
It's pretty spectacular, isn't it?
I'm sorry?
That timber seat...
I said it's pretty spectacular.
That's more like it.
It's pretty spectacular. There you go!
Shaynna asked the question, "Is that one sink?"
No, it's not one sink, it's the galley.
This is nuts.
Wow!
Well, we are standing in the, what,
quarter of a million dollar plus kitchen.
Maybe the biggest island bench we've seen all day
and yet this seat does not feel like it's too much for this space,
doesn't take up too much of the real estate...
Not at all. ..at all.
Shaynna thinks the whole kitchen literally oozes with drama.
It's dark and it's moody and you can go dark and moody.
Sultry.
And look at the timber...
It's beautiful. ..detail in the ceiling.
Omar and Oz have been so interesting because they have stuck with this
predominantly contemporary aesthetic,
even in the old part of the house.
Now they're creating the centrepiece of their house.
This is their true selves coming through.
And it suits this architecture of this part of the house completely.
Shaynna thinks it's amazing that you have achieved a feeling of warmth
with such a grey palette.
The textures in here of the rugged concrete on the benchtop,
the exposed aggregate in that darker colour concrete
and then you've got this, almost a dark wenge wood grey.
So, it is warm because it's full of texture,
and, you know, you've got the beautiful sheers and the timber,
so there's so much to ignite the senses in here
and I think that's really important.
Neale agrees.
It shouldn't feel warm but it does.
When I knew that there was gonna be $250,000 worth of appliances,
I thought, "Oh, gosh, maybe this is gonna feel very, sort of, blingy."
But no way!
It feels so subtle.
It's subtle luxury, isn't it?
Darren agrees this blessing could've been a curse,
but the kitchen you have designed around it honours
the sophistication and design aesthetic of the V-ZUG appliances.
It's a serious cook's kitchen, a serious entertainer's kitchen.
Hello, look at this spread that's laid out in front of us.
It really tells the story
of the entertaining that is going to happen in this room.
May I just entice you.. Easily.
..over to, one, probably the best-looking fridge of the day..
Wow.
..amongst a day of beautiful fridges.
Wow.
Then we've got our wine fridge.
Just wow. Look at the finish of that.
Phenomenal.
And then yes to having your own bar.
But also will reflect the view behind you
because it's the tinted glass.
Looking back at the kitchen from the other side,
it presents amazingly well.
Oh, this is gorgeous.
The lighting is beautiful. I love those stools.
Neale, however, would've gone for timber stools.
Because, for me, that would've absolutely balanced with the timber
above our heads.
Standing on this side of the room,
Shaynna asked how much of your Mitre 10 budget is left.
But there's a lot of money in timber there.
That's certainly eating into the budget.
What have they got left for everything else?
Exactly.
JUSTIN BIEBER: # And oh... #
Into the butler's pantry,
and Darren said styling kitchens is such a pain.
And that is just such a beautiful example of how to style a kitchen.
A serious pantry in the butler's pantry, too.
Some cupboard space in there for...
Oh-hoo! Oh, that's like a gold mine.
Oh, wow.
Oh, and I love how the doors open out
so that you're not stuck in the hallway of this part of the pantry.
Oh, that's gorgeous.
And another galley sink in here, too.
Why not when you've got 250 grand to spend?
Neale said...
I mean, it's a totally 100% contemporary kitchen.
It's not the kitchen that I would put in a country house,
but they've got the confidence, obviously, of loving this aesthetic.
I'm really getting a sense that they've enjoyed doing this.
This is them, I'm convinced of it.
Shaynna's also worried about your budget
when you do Venetian plaster in your butler's pantry.
Bit of overkill, she thinks.
I'm getting a little bit nervous about their future budget.
Mm-hm. Yeah.
Of what they're spending on all this labour to do this.
Yeah.
Darren said this kitchen is going to sell this house.
He thinks, if he was your real estate agent selling this house,
he'd be counting his lucky stars.
So, could he have given you a ten, boys?
Let's find out, shall we? That's it, scores.
Well done, boys. Well done.
I think feedback was really good.
Everyone got really, really good feedback so it wasn't...
Ah, the feedback was nice.
We did the best we can and it is what it is.
Coming up - big kitchens get big scores.
OK, the winner of week six on The Block: Tree Change is...
No!
(WACKY SOUND EFFECTS, DOG BARKS)
where ten very nervous Blockheads await their scores.
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYS)
OK, Darren Palmer.
Tom and Sarah-Jane.
I'm awestruck.
Oh, yes! Oh!
Darren, you beautiful man.
Thank you. Well done!
Rachel and Ryan.
They need to get some little paintings, some different pendants.
(LIGHT MUSIC PLAYS)
Ankur and Sharon.
Not right because everything else down here below the bench is white.
Dylan and Jenny.
Contemporary Australian country at its finest.
(MUSIC INTENSIFIES)
Oh, I want the 5K, Scotty. I know.
Omar and Oz. We need it!
Maybe the biggest island bench we've seen all day.
(MUSIC BUILDS THEN FADES)
Wow. Big scores.
(SCOREBOARD CREAKING)
Shaynna Blaze.
Tom and Sarah-Jane.
This kitchen is just beautiful.
Oh!
(WHISTLES) Wow.
Make it rain, baby.
That's awesome. Thank you, Shaynna!
Rachel and Ryan.
I hate saying this, it is a kitchen without a soul.
(PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYS)
Ankur and Sharon.
I just think the styling brings it down, unfortunately.
Dylan and Jenny.
BOTH: Oh...
There's so many beautiful textures in here.
Oh! Damn!
Omar and Oz.
There's so much to ignite the senses in here.
(PENSIVE MUSIC CONTINUES)
Wow.
See you in a minute. Two tens!
Good work, guys, that's incredible. Wow!
Neale Whitaker.
Tom and Sarah-Jane.
I wish there was a word that kind of meant wow times a hundred.
(EXCITING MUSIC PLAYS) Rachel and Ryan.
This doesn't feel welcoming.
Sharon and Ankur.
They're almost making the space feel cluttered.
Dylan and Jenny.
It's another one of those kitchens
that reaches out and tugs at the heartstrings.
Omar and Oz.
It feels so subtle.
It's subtle luxury, isn't it?
Totals.
(EXCITING MUSIC CONTINUES)
OK, the winner of week six on The Block: Tree Change is...
..it's Tom and Sarah-Jane!
Hey! Wow!
(UPBEAT POP TRACK PLAYS)
That's so good.
Well done, guys! Well done.
With a perfect score of 30 out of 30!
We don't see that every day.
Nah, pretty cool. Thank you.
We see maybe one a series,
which also means another $15,000 from Catch.com.
Far out. Thank you.
PRODUCER: Are you happy? I'm (BLEEP) rapt.
25 Gs, baby.
I'm gonna fill the pool with money.
Well, don't forget, you're gonna get a tree from Ford, a mature tree,
coming up the driveway first thing in the morning.
So, for the third time in a row,
another win for Tom and Sarah-Jane, and a perfect score, no less.
Dylan and Jenny, and Omar and Oz
came a close equal second on 28.5 points.
Third place went to Ankur and Sharon on 24.5 points,
closely followed in fourth place by Rachel and Ryan on 24 points.
And that win means Tom and Sarah-Jane
still top the Super Power Leader Board on 163.5 points.
The highest score come series end chooses auction order.
Scotty! Yo.
We want to pull the lever.
You want to pull the lever, you don't even know what's comin'.
Hipages. Rightio.
Yeah. Copy that.
I will see you in the morning.
Yeah.
Did you know about this, Sarah-Jane?
Yeah. We want to...
We want to, yeah, pull the lever for our facade.
Rightio.
Mm. Pull the lever.
Already locked in, lever pulled for the week.
No-one else can pull it.
Now I'll tell you what you're doin'.
You didn't know that Tom was pulling the lever?
No. No.
Just like I didn't know how he rang the bell on Thursday.
Oh, man, I can't believe he pulled the lever and SJ didn't even know,
but apparently he rung the Suncorp bell and SJ didn't even know.
I can tell you I'd be pulling a lever but it would be a lever for...
(POPPING SOUND)
I'd kill him... (WHISPERS)
..and then I'd bury his body,
and then I'd get hipages to come and bury...
Well, if you spend more time on site, you'd learn a bit more.
Well, if you talk to your wife a bit more...
I did, you just were too busy styling,
doin' what you do best.
You focus on styling, I'll focus on the build.

OK, gang, next week.
Seeing all these beautiful kitchens today, don't you reckon
they're just begging for a living and dining space?
Yay!
Oh, no, not with the challenge house, too, that's unfair.
I mean, I can't wait to light the fire in my living room.
Suncorp are gonna give you a budget of 23,000 bucks.
That'll be in your accounts first thing tomorrow morning.
So, it's living, dining and landscape week next week, everybody.
Beautiful. Come on, smile!
No. It's fun!
Yay!
Good luck, goodnight, see ya. Yeah!
Thank you, Scotty. Nice work, guys.
RACHEL: Well done. Love you, guys.
Tomorrow, hipages army will arrive and you just point and they say...
Well, I won't know where to point. They'll go, "What are you here for?"
I'll say, "Well, (BLEEP), I don't know, ask my husband."
I'll be pointing at two things.
Weatherboard and where to put the tree, and that's all that matters.

VOICEOVER: It's big...
Woah, look at that.

Oh my god...
WOMAN: Wow...

MAN: What?!
A super sized week...
OMAR: The biggest room The Block has ever tackled.
TOM: I don't know if TV will do justice to how big this room is.
SARAH: No, it won't.
Woah!
MAN: There's gonna be chaos here.
Ohhh, this looks (COCK CROWS).
Shhh. All week.
.. of brilliant big ideas.
A floor to ceiling dome fire-place.
A baby grand piano.
My dream fire-place. It's gonna be a show stopper.
.. big boo-boos... Oh no... (SCREAMING)
.. and big, big bust ups.
And it's just like, impossible...
Just excuses, all I'm hearing over there.
The Block Living and Dining week goes big.
Is this the biggest pole The Block's ever seen? Yeah, that's big.
