Here we go.
There have been four judging nights on The Block Tree Change so far.
It's Omar and Oz.
(CHEERING)
It's Ankur and Sharon.
Ohh. Well done.
It's Omar and Oz.
It's Tom and Sarah Jane.
Some are rising to the challenge...
Ahh!
..others are on a spiral.
I'm so tired and maybe I don't have a clue.
This week, four of the couples have moved into the new build...
I'm getting measurements. I can't do...
I don't know who said the new build was going to be easier.
..and I've given all of them two rooms to complete.
A guest bedroom and a bathroom in just seven days.
Is he joking?
They're in all sorts of trouble, bro.
Crazy? Probably.
Getting thrown two rooms side-by-side,
it was actually a little bit overwhelming.
Possible? Definitely.
Don't speak too soon.
Nevertheless, one couple couldn't take the heat
and hightailed for home.
Obviously something is not right.
Tonight with the big auction getting closer
and that life-changing prize within reach,
our remaining blockheads are putting their pedals to the metal.
Oh, I've got to do it.
There is a lot to get done.
Oi, oi.
Then it's time for judges to boost egos...
Wow. This is beautiful.
..break hearts...
Do these boys hold onto their title of the bathroom kings?
..and tempt the bonus point gnome.
(GNOME GIGGLES)
We're five weeks deep into The Block Tree Change.
(CHUCKLING)
Yesterday was a really bad day.
It's Britney, bitch.
The Block has always been the richest and toughest game in town
but this year, with massive bills on ten-acre blocks,
and tens of millions of dollars at stake,
our blockheads are on the edge.
Ohh...!
The first one losing it is Sarah Jane from house one.
She and Tom are building three rooms this week.
Guest bedroom, a bathroom and a powder room.
In the powder room,
they're using floral wallpaper along with finger tiles.
There is a back-to-wall toilet and a blue basin that's gone missing.
Saturday morning, I woke up first thing.
Drove around pretty much crying
because I was just like... my life is ruined.
Ohh...!
My basins from Nood Co have been lost for my powder room.
It was Basin Gate. It was Basin Gate.
CSI.
Yeah.
Oh... Where is this basin?
It's just a basin.
You can't cry over spilt milk.
It's just a basin.
It wasn't just a basin, Tom.
Don't say it like it was just a basin.
It's a beautiful basin.
It was the basin to the powder room.
Yeah.
It's me again, Gary.
The security guard had put it in the back of a van
that was going to Scotty's.
I've got the keys to the van.
It's possibly in the back of that.
Tracked down van, was able to get the keys.
Oh, my God, Gary.
Oh, my God.
Please be my basin.
Popped it open, there was my new code blue basin.
'Sarah Jane'! Oh.
(LAUGHS)
Sweet baby Jesus.
Oh.
I just... I cried.
I genuinely cried.
I know that sounds ridiculous and I never thought I'd cry over a basin
but I cried because I was just like this relief, this...
(SIGHS)
It's there.
My life's not ruined.
Gary!
It's mine!
It's here!
Thank you, Gary!
No problem!
So it's onwards and upwards for Tom and Sarah Jane in house one.
Next door at house two,
professional renovators Rachel
and Ryan have everything timed down to the second.
Tilers have still got to finish tiling.
Plumbers have got to fit off.
Sparkies got to fit off.
Our shower screen guys are coming soon
but we need to get the bath in first so it's a race to get that in.
There's a lot going on.
But we'll be fine.
Now we have a seal in the shower area.
Kiki came in to inspect our tiling
and our shower ledge because it's in a part of the wet area.
What we normally like to do is have
fall going back away from the window.
See it's falling back in towards the window.
I honestly don't think water's going to get on that ledge
from how far that shower head's away.
I've spoken to the builder.
He doesn't like it either and he wants to rectify it.
All right.
I'll sort it out.
Thanks, mate.
No worries. Thanks, buddy.
We didn't get approval of Keith as the tiles fell back to the shower...
Um, to the window.
Which, because it's in a wet area, doesn't really meet compliance.
PRODUCER: Are you behind where you need to be?
We are 100% behind.
It's not going to be easy.
It is going to be a long time, a long night.
(BLEEP)
Over at house five, best mates Omar
and Oz missed the deadline to order Kinsman wardrobes
so they've called on the family network to help out.
Bill, how are we going? Talk to me.
Yeah, done great with the bottom panel back and then rods.
We missed out with Kinsman's order.
We got the blood brother coming in for guest bedroom wardrobe.
He is coming for the saviour.
So you're ready to finish off?
Yeah, I'm finishing off.
I got a fantastic deal, to be honest. Free of charge.
Free of charge.
PRODUCER: Free of charge?
Free of charge.
It can't be free of charge.
Of course he can because Kinsman wardrobe is free of charge
so it was basically free of charge.
Let's go.
It's good to have family on The Block, bro.
You haven't seen nothing yet.
And now to the dramas of house three.
It is a (BLEEP) experience sometimes for me.
Like it is.
Yesterday, we heard rumours
that Ankur and Sharon were threatening to leave.
Not having a breakdown, Shaz.
We should just leave leave.
I want to leave. I don't see how this is going to go for ten weeks.
They also went AWOL...
Where is Sharon and Ankur?
No idea.
..letting down their trades...
We just feel like we are not being heard on their end.
..so it was time for a serious chat.
So we've been hearing that you're just not happy here.
And that makes me really, really sad.
What can we do to help you have a good time in this experience?
Well, we also need an attitude change from you guys as well.
There's people around you that aren't happy. Tradesmen.
OK.
Producers, people like that.
You made the comment, Ankur, to Sharon...
I actually cannot wait to get out of this place.
From The Block?
Yeah.
How (BLEEP) is it?
Yeah... Quote unquote.
Mate, no one is keeping you here.
Yeah, I know.
You can go. You can go any time you like.
This is not compulsory.
It was quite confrontational.
Very aggressive.
The tone of it which caught us off guard.
And to imply that we are being brats
and we don't want to be here, I'm just not standing for it.
This isn't the end of the conversations.
Yeah.
If you want to talk to us, please just talk to us.
They didn't want to talk and left The Block.
I can't believe they did that to us.
I know. Let's just go.
Nobody cares about us here.
And then his chippy just outed us there.
Obviously, something is not right.
JENNY: It's hard for everyone but I think it's especially hard
for them because they've never done anything like this before.
So we are always checking in
and everyone is making sure they're all right.
The Block can drain you and if you don't take it on properly,
and right, man,
honestly, it could affect you
and we don't want that
because one, two, three, four, five houses, we're all friends.
We are family.
This is The Block family and we need to support each other.
Ankur and Sharon decided not to quit The Block
and returned around 8pm with a load of art and an attitude reset.
We need to wake up every day
and be positive from that day, accept that this is a TV show.
And find ways to look after ourselves in the process.
And they seem to be making amends with their builder Liam.
How are we on this fine morning, boys?
Good.
100% with Liam
Trust is there.
We want to keep on smashing our good rooms.
It's like we reaffirmed our vows, wasn't it?
Yeah.
We're good.
All good up at house three.
I reckon now would be a good time
to get all the blockheads together for a barbie.
Let off some steam, have a laugh and give Ankur and Sharon a bit of love.
You got to just get past it.
(BLEEP) it as well.
Because the next seven weeks will be hell for you.
Don't get caught up in it. Just have fun.
Yeah. That's exactly right.
Yes, we love the other contestants.
Thanks for the chat, bro.
It's all right.
You OK?
Honestly, if it wasn't for those guys,
this would be even tougher and who knows where we'd be?
At home.
Probably.
You all right?
Yeah.
They look like nice snacks.
Welcome to the Hipages gift barbie.
You know, like the store will gift.
Hosted by me my and old Block mate Jason Charles.
(LAUGHS)
Jason is a legend and he's done two seasons on The Block.
Boys...
(LAUGHTER)
Hi, boys.
Built some cool homes.
So we're feeding all the tradies today
and we're also going to have
the Hipages gift which is a running race
down the track here because we got the speedometer
and whoever wins that, a representative
from each house, could be the builder, could be the Hipages tradie,
could be anybody.
$1,000 cash.
Wow.
Thanks to Hipages. Thanks to Hipages.
Actually I'm going to be giving... Straight out of my kitty.
That's fantastic.
Yeah, it's going to be good.
Good on them.
We all had so much to do
but we stood around and had a sausage sizzle
and enjoyed the sunshine for half an hour it was gorgeous.
(LAUGHS)
One minute you're having a breakdown...
I'm going to go in the corner and cry for a little bit now.
Then you're having a sausage sizzle.
We got snags, we got salad, we've got bread.
Then you're running a rave.
Then you're doing archery.
Ooh!
Then you're having another breakdown
I really miss my daughter.
It's only two days.
It's just...
Highs and lows here at The Block.
OK, ladies and gentlemen, this is the Hipages gift.
1,000 bucks on the line.
Beautiful day for a running race.
Yeah, and a barbecue. The sun was shining on the barbecue.
The sausages were sizzling. The speedometer was there.
Representative of house one, put your hand up.
That's house one.
House one, here we go.
Good luck, Tony!
We were like, "Who are you using, Sharon and Anks?
And they were like "We are using George, our tiler."
So then I turn around to see what George looks like
and George had a clone.
You can't pick our trades!
Yeah.
His twin. His identical twin Tony.
So I was like, "I want Tony then."
(BLEEP)
Ready, go.
Yes, go.
Look at him go.
Go.
24k, Scotty.
24. House one is in the lead at 24km an hour.
House two.
We got Mick our tiler.
Now Mick, ex-army, runner,
we are thinking we have got this one in the bag.
Come on, Nick.
Whoo.
Got the big boots on. That's a mistake.
24.
Oh, wow.
From house two, there was one guy there.
He was literally fighting for air then.
Go, Mick. Go, Mick. Go, Mick.
22.
Look, he did the best that he could in the boots he was wearing.
(LAUGHS)
22.
SJ, Sarah Jane nicked one of our tilers.
Happily, it was...
We nicked the faster one.
Go, go.
(SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT)
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
27.
Well done, buddy.
House three is in the lead.
In the lead.
My boy.
When Scotty said there is a race, I'm like, Dyl, get your kit off.
You've got to go for the team.
When you're ready.
Yeah, no, I was...
Jen put the pressure on me. Straight up.
Jen is like, "Dyl's going to win."
Dirt track. Worksite track.
And there's rocks everywhere
and I'm like, if I'm any chance of taking this thing out...
Got to take the boots off.
The boots are off.
Dylan took off his boots, ran in socks.
That was stunning.
I took a few steps back because I got some long limbs,
takes a while to get the windmills going.
(THEME FROM 'CHARIOTS OF FIRE' PLAYS)
When you're ready, go.
(SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT)
Legs were like this.
You've got to start low and just get up and let the arms sing.
Oh...
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
28. 28.
You're right. He's fast.
I knew you were quick.
He actually looks like a greyhound too.
He wanted it. He wanted that win.
Actually Dylan looks like a greyhound. Not in a bad way.
He just runs like one.
28.
Here he goes.
Ooh.
He's fast.
ALL: Ooh!
The winner is house four.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Well done, Dyl.
Good work.
(SINGS THEME TUNE FOR 'CHARIOTS OF FIRE')
(LAUGHTER)
That was a sick job!
(GASPS)
It's countdown to deadline.
Let's go.
Let's go. Come on.
Quick, quick, quick.
Oh, my God.
And later, our judges deliver their verdicts.
I think we are seeing who they are today.
Suggestions of trauma.
It is really gorgeous.
It doesn't work for me.
and Rachel and Ryan from house two have swept aside their failure
on the track...
A tiny little bit higher.
This is where we started.
Yeah, I know but you've got to make sure your options are right.
..and those pesky tiling issues...
Well done.
Wow.
..to focus on redeeming themselves with the judges.
I'm still reeling from the boring...
Downbeat.
..bland and lacking personality comments.
It has no personality.
Have I taken it a little bit too far?
(GASPS)
I'm not sure.
Let me see. Let me see. Let me see.
Ohh...
We have that basin.
You know and that basin is just a thing of beauty.
Oh, that's why they pay me no bucks.
I just can't lose Darren.
You know, I've just got to keep Darren.
I've never had Shaynna and Neale so you don't miss what you don't have.
But I cannot lose Darren.
Down the track, house five has been
a hive of activity for most of the night.
You see, Omar and Oz lost their tiles and their tiler.
Then they had to start their bathroom from scratch
with just two and half days to reveal.
This one's a surprise.
I actually didn't think we would get to the stage.
We've tiled a bathroom.
And we've done herringbone.
This time yesterday, you were in a world of pain.
Have positive people around you. Think positive.
Yup.
Keep fighting. It gets done.
Let's get the win, boys.
And girls. What do you reckon?
Yeah. Let's go.
Let's go. Come on.
I don't think that was challenging enough for us to be honest.
I'm being serious.
Expect the unexpected from us.
We got it done. What's next?
Omar?
Hold on a minute.
Yesterday Oz called me in a panic begging for help.
I pulled my tiling team off my bathroom
and sent them over to their house.
That's how the boys got back in the game.
We made a deal with the devil.
(LAUGHTER)
You guys fair dinkum owe me big time.
Yeah, that's sweet there.
Yeah, this week, it was hard.
But I don't know, even though it was two rooms, we managed.
If we'd got the insulation earlier and the tiles right,
we honestly would have been finished a whole day before probably.
So it looks like you guys are all cool, calm and collected in here.
Yeah.
Where is Jen?
Shopping?
Yeah, just getting a few bits and pieces.
Let go.
Dylan and Jenny won some money in archery
and the Hipages gift.
That would go very nicely on landscaping if it was me.
# I got to back it up. #
So I went to Kyneton.
Can I get anything I want?
Absolutely anything.
Yay.
# Hey big spender... #
And I got a nice hat, some books.
Some little bits and bobs.
It's got so much little nice stuff there.
I also bought myself a pair of pink gloves.
Perfect fit.
They're not for the room. They're for me.
Just one treat to myself. I'm scared.
Is it actually real.
It's kind of scary.
(KOOKABURRA CALL)
# Good time. #
Not far off done.
Just really got to...
Sarah Jane's got a bit of styling to do.
When she returns.
Got some treats for the tradies.
I'm just leaving Tom and the trades have the rooms and when they say go,
whether that's at 10 o'clock tonight, I'll just go in and style.
I know the way to your heart.
And I know it's with a cheeseburger.
Oh.
Look at the smile, like a Cheshire cat, mate.
Now we're talking.
Yeah.
BOTH: Cheers.
Thank you.
Time is ticking away and all the blockheads
still have a heap of work to do in both their rooms.
I got your artwork done.
No, you didn't.
I did.
You are one of a kind, Nadia.
Off to your new home.
Even when you're ahead, there's so much to do.
Start pulling these plastics off.
That's stunning.
This going to dry now to that colour.
Wow.
Who needs concrete when you have the Venetia boys here.
As soon as all the tradies left, it was just Oz and I.
Omar? Yeah?
(SIGHS)
This wallpaper is everything.
I hate birds too.
Do you care that I spent all our money on it?
(LAUGHS)
You're a weirdo.
Ankur and Sharon will be lucky
to finish the rooms by tomorrow morning.
They are the only couple
still working in the old part of the house
and they've converted their study into an ensuite
so they can create another master suite in the house.
It's a huge job.
We have so much to do in this room.
What do you reckon?
At the end of the day, you're judged on styling obviously
but the execution of the room and where we all fall short is because
we never have enough time to paint because of the size of our house
and how long it takes to get to that point.
It sucks.
Crap load of painting left to do
so I don't know if we'll get that done unfortunately.
And then just styling, trying to style it the best we can.
Oh. Fancy schmancy.
It's staying up every Friday and Saturday night is taking a toll.
All four of the other houses are working in the new build
but if they thought they'd be in for an easier ride, they'd be wrong.
Beautiful people on the new build.
Come on, mate.
Oh, my God.
We are hopeful that we can get everything done by 3am.
But there is a lot to get done.
TOM: Sarah Jane stayed up.
That's her time to shine from 12 onwards
on a Saturday and she always shines.
She always presents the best rooms.
Oh, I've got to do it.
Then I was like I don't know
if I should put some paintings in the beautiful bedroom
because I didn't want to take away from the wallpaper.
I loved it anyways. Loved it.
God, that looks beautiful.
I'm tingling in my bow-dy.
(COCK CROWS)
RYAN: This is the first time we've had to paint
around all our plumbing fixtures,
our lights and over our carpet, all at the one time.
We had so much to get done, it was insane.
We haven't stopped.
Yup.
I'm so tired.
What does it look like? Is it too big?
So we're in the standard situation of...
BOTH: ..No sleep.
End of tether like crying.
Quick, quick, quick.
Oh, (BLEEP)
Whoo.
That's that.
To the left.
Thomas!
Why are you trying to annoy me?
(WOLF WHISTLES)
Tools down.
Yeah!
Tools down.
That was the hardest one ever.
Oh, mate.
That was harder than the other rooms.
It almost feels like you've got to breathe, got to breathe.
Just going to get through.
Tools down at nine means tools down at nine.
That was so hard.
It was good. We did it, again.
Fight to the end again.
And when we hear tools down
and I dead set dropped to the floor of the bathroom.
That was by far the biggest 24 hours we've had on The Block.
It was hard.
Good job.
Come here.
Good job.
Darl, we made it.
We made it.
How good is that?
We managed to deliver two rooms in two days.
Honestly, that was two days.
(BLEEP)
How did we get this done?
That was a very stressful week.
Honestly...
Honestly, if you guys watch it, I wasn't stressed at all.
I take it to the chin and literally I kept...
I'm being serious, guys.
Tools down.
Too slow.
Oh, you're so annoying.
I...
(LAUGHS)
Tools down.
After this, I'm actually going on 'Farmer Wants a Wife'.
Are you a farmer?
Oh.
# You make me feel like
# I've been locked out of heaven... #
How are ya?
Scotty, g'day.
Scotty.
G'day.
All looking flash. Look at you.
Good evening, everybody.
How are you, Scotty?
Another drama filled week on The Block with you guys doing two rooms
in a week with one of them being a bathroom.
Wow.
Massive.
Tough on you guys, eh?
Yes. Yes.
It was a test for everybody, wasn't it?
Yes. Yes.
Now I'm going to go out on a limb here and just say that I feel like,
not everybody is enjoying The Block as much as I am because I love it.
We're not even halfway through yet
and every year contestants come up to me at the end of this
and say that was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.
And I get that. It is.
I know but they also say that it's the most rewarding thing
I've ever done because it's such a great experience.
It's so unique.
Some people love it so much, they come back and do it again.
Which is quite amazing, I know.
You guys wouldn't be thinking of doing it again?
No. No.
Not at this stage. That's all right.
I get that.
I'm here to tell you, all of you guys,
that all of us here tonight are here to help you get through this.
And get through it well.
Because this is such a unique experience,
we really want you to all enjoy it.
I definitely know I'm going to make someone happy tonight.
Because I've got 10,000 bucks from Ford going
to the team that has produced the best bedroom and bathroom this week.
Are we ready to hear who it is?
ALL: Yes.
Ripper. Me too.
(HIGH ENERGY DANCE MUSIC)
OK, house one.
Tom and Sarah Jane.
You got a ten.
I got a ten! Sorry.
We're pretty happy.
Yeah.
We finally get a ten win to our room was awesome.
It's nice to finally get the win for all the hard work.
(FARTS)
Oh... (LAUGHS)
BOTH: Three rooms.
For us with a powder room I feel like I was quite hard.
Finishing three rooms in six days is hard enough.
But styling all three to match, that will be a real test.
(GASPS)
I don't like face level storage
but I'm getting a Shaynna cabinet this week.
No, you are not. You're going for a ten again.
I had a taste and I need more.
That's exactly what it is.
I'm at Beaumont, the tile choice was just ugh.
Tom was just not listening to me all day.
Then my mum calls and she's like Cleo's really unwell.
PHONE: The thing is, I can't get into a doctor.
Mum, I'm just going to come, all right.
I had a really tough day. A really tough day.
I'll just come home and we'll figure it out together.
Did you miss me?
Yeah, I definitely missed you, babe.
These together are...
Stunning.
Yeah. Perfection.
Tommy?
Yeah?
We haven't ticked off any of those walls, mate.
So unfortunately, these sheets are going to have to come off the wall.
Who did those spots of insulation?
It was a late night.
Sarah Jane was grumpy.
I'll take the blame.
You've just got to tidy them up the whole shape.
In first place taking home 10,000 bucks
and the gnome, it's the Coens Sarah Jane and Tom.
We'll bring the gnome out if...
We won't use it unless is have a point difference.
This is the wallpaper from Grafico for this room.
Oh, my God.
I'm just going to wrap it like a big Christmas present.
I can't wait.
That is crazy. Yeah.
(LAUGHTER)
Give us a kiss.
Three rooms down, first little bit done in the new part.
Yeah, hopefully judges love it.
# And I'll always
# Be thinkin' of you
# La la la la
# Layin' in my arms... #
I am so proud of my wallpaper in the bedroom.
It's just going to set us apart.
Oh...
My heart.
The tartan room.
I have loved everything that Tom and Sarah Jane have done so far.
But not...
..as much as I love this.
It feels like the perfect Ralph Lauren country house.
Yum.
Love it.
Shaynna thinks that you both know
how to put the heart into your rooms.
For her, this looks like
it has been put together by a really trained eye.
Well done.
Thank you.
You look around and to have that tartan all the way around
and know what colour to put with it,
to have the houndstooth that's going to work with it,
to have all the textures, the artwork, how to display it.
The talent here is phenomenal.
Neale added it looks like they are really having fun
and creating their own dream home.
Is that right?
BOTH: Yeah. Absolutely.
This gallery hang has been placed on tartan wallpaper.
That takes courage.
Most people would think oh, no.
Tartan wallpaper is enough.
We can't hang anything on there.
But to take an eclectic little group of images like that
and put them against tartan...
With different frames.
With all different frames,
and somehow make it feel cohesive because it does.
That's genius.
Darren liked the sheer drapes behind a well-made pelmet.
So it's basically invisible unless it's down.
That big opening that's going to look over all those trees
and the pasture out there will be a real triumph.
You also delivered well-styled
and well-designed wardrobes.
It's very confident.
Cool.
This is a big statement.
All right.
Shaynna honestly thinks this should be your career after this.
ALL: Ooh...
There you go.
I adore what they do.
How they put it together and having that sense of joy when you see it.
I haven't said very often but...
..this is their career after this, I'm not joking.
Thank you.
But Darren did a couple of notes.
He thinks that the bed frame is quite low
and the power points beside the bed should have been black
to make them disappear.
But these are relatively minor notes.
So let's go have a look at her...
Oh, yeah there's another room next door.
Thank you.
# Buy yourself a dream
# How's it looking?
# Buy yourself a car... #
I am so proud of my finger tiles in my powder room.
And I am so proud of the mustard tile in the bathroom
and I think the way they all flow,
we hope the judges fall in love with it.
Oh!
Into the bathroom...
Wow.
This is beautiful.
Neale's comment was once again
"It's an incredibly confident room, everything works so well."
What I'm reading each time I walk into one of Tom
and Sarah Jane's rooms now,
it's like that feeling of we know what we are doing,
we love it, we are having fun
and that gives it that sense of...sophistication.
He also thinks the things you put in
have all been chosen with great care as things that you love.
What do we have from Tom and Sarah Jane today?
Face level storage.
Look at that.
It's a Shaynna cabinet.
You folded!
Yeah. That's for her, that one.
That's a disgrace.
I'm embarrassed.
And you folded.
I'm embarrassed.
Do you know what I like also, the fact they've done the powder room,
it's in a blue palette but it's connected.
Darren noted a few paintwork issues in this room.
Yeah, there's little bit of a paint mishap on the door.
There's a little bit of paint missing.
Yup.
But apart from this, what you delivered today
really tugged at the judge's heartstrings
and at this point,
Shaynna was feeling a bit scared for the rest of you.
Oh, no and they've got a gnome.
They don't need it.
They might not need it.
Don't think of the negatives, Jen, it's all right.
We haven't got to you.
Good work, guys.
Thank you. Well done.
Thank you.
I think it looks nice but, career?
I don't know. To me, I'm just...
I'm just a normal person from Gladstone Park.
A bit trashy, a bit rough around the edges...
You know, why would someone want me to style their stuff?
Why wouldn't they? Look at what you do.
Yeah.
It's fantastic.
That's a lovely compliment. It means a lot to me.
and next up are our professional renovators from house two.
OK, Rachel and Ryan...
I don't know who said the new build was going to be easier
but, my God, they've been misinformed.
Rachel and Ryan's first problem was the floor plan.
They wanted to move walls to increase the size of the bathroom.
I would love to get a bath in here if we can.
For that, you'll need to get drawings of.
OK.
And we'll have to remake the walls.
We'll do it today. Yeah.
Do it like urgently, urgently. Done.
Something that we are realising
is that you cannot be generic on The Block.
Do you like this basin?
This is just so nice.
Waterproof Wednesday now turned back into waterproof Thursday.
We've also got 150m square of concrete going in.
The Kinsman wardrobe placement just didn't sit well with Rache.
It feels crowded.
We just need to figure out how to basically redesign this entire room.
It just cost us time.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
So, as first place-getters, what would you like to take?
$3,000.
We'll take the money.
We need the money. We need the money more than anyone right now.
We need it more than anyone and we need to start paying our landscaper.
PRODUCER: Can you win?
I always think we can win but, you know, who knows?
# All I wanna do is be more like me
# And be less like you... #
They called us boring. They called us bland.
They called us lacking in personality
We've try to give them something
that's the complete opposite of that.
It was quite a surprise for the judges
walking into your bedroom today as they honestly
weren't really expecting to see any country elements.
Because they couldn't wait to get
into the contemporary part of the house.
So the fact they put a little bit of country
in their wallpaper mural and the cheque blanket, I'm really happy.
This is a room that will definitely help you to sell your house.
But may not lead a buyer to bid irrationally as house one might.
That's what I will just say to them.
I think you've got your basics now.
Go the next level and start thinking some grand moments
in just a few places.
Shaynna, I think you've absolutely nailed it.
This room doesn't have a hero.
It doesn't have a wow factor, does it?
Darren agrees and thinks the chair in the corner
could have been bigger, possibly a wingback.
I would have a much bigger side table here
and I would definitely have a different finish on that.
Just those three things
with everything else that they've got in here would then make it
feel like a really lovely, balanced, contemporary country home.
It's a very good room but slightly timid according to Neale.
When I say timid, I'm looking at this here.
Nothing wrong with this plant but it's small.
As you said, everything needs to be grander.
Everything needs to be taken to that next level.
Yeah.
Well, we have a bathroom to go to so...
Well, maybe that's taken to the next level.
Hopefully it's not timid.
No.
The favourite feature in the new rooms
is that beautiful river stone basin.
# Keep moving, keep moving
# Keep moving, keep moving... #
Wow.
Nothing timid about this.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
A lot of impact and really good impact.
Oh, thank God.
Oh, my God.
I thought you knew that was good.
I was very nervous.
This lava stone basin, that's not everyone's cup of tea
but can I tell you, in this environment, it works really well.
I don't think I see one safe choice in here.
And everything that I see, I love.
Yes!
Well done.
If this is their contemporary look, I think it's incredible.
'Cause it's personality
and that's what we've been trying to say to them is,
put your personality of some description
and I think we're seeing who they are today.
Neale gets a sense that this is a bathroom
that you both really love and loved making.
Yup.
When something is done really well, then I respect it.
It's a luxury room.
It's not just a necessity any more.
And it ticks a lot of boxes.
It definitely feels like authentic Rachel and Ryan.
It's an excellent bathroom
that is magazine-worthy both for its design and execution.
Your best bathroom yet.
Yeah.
Well done, bub.
Yeah. Well done.
You should feel rightly proud of what you have created in here.
That is it. Well done.
Thanks, Scotty.
Well done.
You worked hard. You worked hard.
I was nervous.
I didn't know what they were going to say
and I'm glad they liked it
because the rest of our house is coming in that style.
OK, Ankur and Sharon.
Ankur and Sharon are the only blockheads
still building in the old part of the house.
But that's the least of their worries.
I feel like this week has been the hardest
because it's double room
but because of everything else that's happened as well this week.
It's the second week in a row now
we've been just pipped to the post by half-point which is hard.
These aren't big deals. Just try and relax.
Please stop minimising me.
I'm not minimising you. Please stop...
Don't yell at me already.
Is it too pink?
They're pretty...
Does that mean if I say yes to that, no one else can have it?
Are you feeling good about this one?
I'm feeling good.
Hey, hey. Hello.
We've got another contestant here.
Do I need to hide them or...
We have heaps big house and a bigger job
so you guys have to work harder for that alone.
I think we do already but we'll try more.
The morale of the team feels a little low.
If we can give you enough time to paint properly,
there is no reason why you should not be winning Neale every week.
We just feel like we're not being heard on their end.
They expect us to do potentially more than we are capable of
in my opinion.
Hey, boys? Yo.
There's no ProctorWrap, there is no insulation.
If it all of a sudden rains, all of these rooms are going to be ruined.
Where are you going?
I'm leaving. I can't (BLEEP) It's just (BLEEP).
Let's all regroup. Yeah.
Let's all start again, start fresh.
I know you're mad at us but we've come here to try and fix it.
I really just want to help.
This isn't the end of the conversations.
I reckon we just quit, mate.
They didn't help.
They're listening, they're listening. Good on you.
I can't believe they did that to us.
I know. (BLEEP) Let's just go.
Nobody cares about us here.
They believe they are giving 100%.
But there are way off the mark.
PRODUCER: Are you ready for the judges' feedback?
I'm proud of the fact that Anks and I got through last night,
finished the room and did it together
and didn't completely break down.
Yeah.
I'm personally ready for the judges' feedback.
I'm never ready for the judges' feedback.
Doesn't matter what week it is.
I think you've just got to be proud.
Because I'm so invested in the room.
Yeah, be proud of yourself.
Ugh...
Look at the scale of this room.
You could swing a tiger in here.
(LAUGHS)
Last week, we had Versailles
and there's no doubt we are still in a palace.
How beautiful is the treatment of the ceiling
allowing for that curtaining
in a bay window that shows you curtaining in bay window
can look good?
Yeah. Good point, yes.
As Neale was taking it all in,
something else quickly dawned on him.
I am seeing...
..suggestions of trauma.
Hmm.
That's a way to put it.
Yeah.
The paintwork is wanting everywhere.
What is wanting for is a whole lot more paint.
Is that a metaphor for this room? The upside-down cushion?
Yes.
Yes, it is.
Yes. There's a lot of panic here.
Not to mention the styling they found in the wardrobe.
Oh, wow.
Right!
There's another metaphor for you.
The Makita vacuum cleaner and some spray and wipe.
Was it? Oh, no.
Mate, we couldn't finish. It was too much.
I didn't know what was in there.
I think we still see the core of what Ankur and Sharon
are very good at which is creating palatial, overstated drama.
What I am also seeing though is the panic of a bad, torturous week.
Shaynna couldn't understand
why you put the pendants inside the skylight.
It's not necessary.
You've got this incredible ceiling rose and pendant which
I think works really well and they are a pole opposite to each other.
They just don't work.
They were hoping that the bathroom may be the reason the bedroom...
What?
I was just going to say no, it's not.
What? It gets worse.
Oh.
# I've been spending nights with no sleep
# Waitin' 'cause you never call me... #
Oh, no.
It's the same.
Oh, God, it's even worse.
Look at that mirror.
There's just like dirt everywhere. This is panic.
There's going to be plenty of time to pick this room apart.
But let's celebrate the successes first.
The tiles, the mirror, the tapware, the shutters, all heaven.
Look, I think the layout is perfect for an ensuite.
I love the colours.
Neale thinks the individual elements are lovely.
But unfortunately, we have to judge on the way it's presented.
They've got to get that energy level back.
It's too early to fall at this fence. It really is.
Yeah.
That's it, well done.
Thank you.
Well done.
Quite easily, we could not even have presented anything to be honest.
After the week it was.
We could have just tools down
and that was it so the fact that we got it up is good.
I'm just like scared to tell my team.
I already told him.
Completely fine. I'm telling him.
Welcome back to The Block Tree Change
and the judges are up to their second last house.
OK, house four, Dylan and Jenny.
Yay.
Oh, we did it.
We did. Bath and bedroom.
We were like, boom.
So we are off into the new part of the extension.
In the new part, we were on a fresh side.
We've got Truecore steel frames
we were working with so it's completely new to me
because I've never worked with them.
The boys are here to plaster.
Shoot the bedroom, Pom is coming to finish the roughing on the bathroom.
This arvo, we can waterproof.
G'day, girl.
G'day. How are you?
Looks nice and neat.
Yeah, we were feeling pretty good
like we think we can get both rooms finished hopefully.
Said no one ever on a Wednesday
and are doing two rooms and you haven't got one sheeted.
That is not the floor tile I ordered.
Your guys' tiles got delivered to our house and our tiles are here.
They just laid them.
Oh, my God.
Wow.
So I wake up Friday morning and all of our tiles are done.
This is your week I reckon.
This is the week you're going to win the 10,000 bucks.
We said that last week.
Did we?
And the week before.
What are you most proud of in the room?
I just love the artwork and the Grafico wallpaper
and the whole wall.
I think everything looks really nice so that's my fave.
They wanted to see another layer in my master
so I've added heaps of cushions, another throw on the bed.
There is another layer.
Lots of colour. Yeah, I just hope they know how hard we try.
It feels small.
That's not to say that good things can come in small packages.
No.
Darren was immediately taken with a number of your choices.
S-track curtaining, the fluted panelling,
fluted sconces are just...
It's a really nice emphasis and repetition of that line.
It doesn't have quite the grandeur of stateliness of scale
that some of the other bedrooms have
but it absolutely packs as much punch.
Shaynna would have liked to see
switches beside the bed for the lighting so you can turn them off
once you are all snug.
I did say that.
What?
I did say that but it didn't happen.
I'll cop that tonight, Scotty.
(LAUGHTER)
You'll cop that...
Standing here, you should see
how beautiful it is with that artwork
and the colours and the patterns.
That is a beautiful palette.
As Dan said, it's actually
a standard-size bedroom but with the doorway going out to the veranda,
it will eventually feel much bigger and it is appropriate for your home.
You can wander through here, go out onto your own piece of the deck.
Look at that beautiful plateau
which I'm completely in love with and I just love it.
And you know, we've moved into the contemporary part
of the house and it has got a nice fresh contemporary feel.
So, look, I think it's a really accomplished room.
In the bathroom...
In the bathroom, I love the two feature walls and that awesome bath.
Fan of the feature wall.
I just love the whole bathroom.
Yeah. I think it looks really cool.
More spacious than the bedroom.
Yeah.
Darren immediately had lots to say.
I love this bathtub. I love that tile. I love the feeling in here.
I think it is really gorgeous.
Do you love these lilac sinks in here?
Yup. Why?
'Cause they're pretty.
Shaynna thinks not.
Ooh.
I have no problem with the lilac sinks in its right environment
but I just feel that next to the terracotta, it just...
It doesn't work for me.
She also wonders about the placement of the bathtub
pushed once again into the corner.
Where else do you put it?
There's a lot of room there.
This bath is shoved up against the wall
they've got this grand space so to me,
that bath needs to be centred.
So her main concerns were around layout.
For her, anybody using the bath wants to lie back
with the head facing the window and the wall is just too close.
Neale definitely wasn't a fan of the styling.
What's going on there? Look. What do you call that? A scrunchie?
Oh, God. Oh, my God.
A scrunchie shoved on the wall. A shower puff.
A shower puff, whatever you want to call it
but it's there with a stick-on suction.
It's terrible and here, look at all these little...
I mean, look.
He wants you to always remember
that you are selling a multimillion dollar home
and the buyer will be attracted to luxury styling.
So he thinks you need to think more about it in the weeks to come.
That's it.
That's alright.
Good job.
Shaynna obviously doesn't like baths against walls
but where else do you put them?
People see in different ways.
Yeah, she thinks differently but I can't really judge someone...
Anyway...
There are very picky, aren't they?
Up next, Omar and Oz face the music.
Bathroom kings.
that was guest bedroom and bathroom week.
Omar and Oz.
Bathroom kings.
We got it done.
Two rooms. Never again.
All of our tapware and stuff is brass.
Just this one here with the brass plate and the moon?
Perfect, yeah, that looks very, very good.
Two rooms is very, very easy at the moment for us.
We are going to plan what exactly what we want.
We are in a good spot.
We are going to go for more modern kind of feel for the new part.
How are we travelling, mate?
Good, good, good.
I received a call Thursday.
My tiler had COVID.
We've lost our tilers
and we've got room to deliver in literally 48 hours.
I think we may be able to do something.
Uh-oh. There's a big problem
What's with the step down?
We need a screed.
Dylan and Jen had come rushing over.
You guys' tiles got delivered to our house. We weren't home.
Our tilers have started laying them.
When (BLEEP) does hits the fan, I feel as though
we really push each other, really work well.
(LAUGHS)
No one's gonna break me, baby.
We're good to go.
Hard work, brothers!
PRODUCER: What are you most proud of in those rooms?
I think just the feel.
Just how comfortable it's going to be.
I do hope they love the bedroom
because I feel as though it's definitely our best bedroom so far.
Oh...
Walking in today and the sentiment from the judges was very clear.
Well, this has put a smile back on my face.
Yeah.
This is a big smile for me.
(LAUGHS)
I hadn't seen a low-slung bed in a room
on The Block for a very long time.
It certainly accentuates the height of the ceiling.
Yeah.
Which are generous anyway.
Everything seems really spacious and is like a big, gorgeous void.
I feel like we've just travelled to Japan via country Victoria.
Was that the thing, mate?
You got that from Japan?
Yeah, we liked the low bed. We did.
Thanks for that information!
Darren said this is a long way from the bedroom we were in last week.
This is literally on a different planet.
And it tells a story.
Don't you think that this room tells a story of how, yes,
we're going to go contemporary but it is relaxed, it's homey?
You know, it's connecting to the landscape.
Not in colour palette but in the serenity of what it is.
Shaynna said I'm usually not a fan
of that concrete plaster in a bedroom...
But for here, it just works.
I love it.
The technique of Venetian plaster is really, really beautiful.
The artwork certainly puzzled them.
Sitting as it was on top of the bed head.
I'm hazarding a guess that the artwork isn't meant to be there.
It's a little avant-garde.
So it must have fallen off.
Or maybe someone touched it.
(LAUGHTER)
Tommy?
Really?
But it's a lovely artwork choice.
I love the way that sits in this room.
And Shaynna thinks the pendants beside the bed are superb.
Because they've got that beautiful perforated feel to it.
It's glass, not paper.
No, it's glass. Gorgeous.
And look at the little study nook.
Oh, that's gorgeous.
Beautiful, isn't it?
So that was a very successful start, boys.
How did the bathroom kings go with the judges this week?
This is Zen aesthetic.
Wow.
It is the bathroom that matches the bedroom.
Mmm.
Darren noticed that you'd gone with the same scheme with the tiles.
Turned on its side so it is horizontal
and vertical because it's easier to tile and faster and more efficient.
This grey tile on the floor, it's almost like a sort of terrazzo.
Macro terrazzo.
Macro terrazzo - that's a good way of describing it.
Which is a very unusual tile for me to like actually.
But I really love it.
The shower screen is extraordinary.
It shows the builder has done an incredible job...
And I just think their fittings are simple.
It's not overthought.
The plasterwork above the tiles is amazing.
Look... Look at this.
Look at this little edge there. That little sort of overlap.
Shadow line.
That is so lovely. I've never seen it before.
And the toilet paper this time
with an origami flower, next level attention to detail this week.
I literally would wear that as a bracelet. I love that.
You know what I'd like to see?
I'd like to see it as a fascinator.
With a hat, a brooch, a watch...
(LAUGHTER)
I did see that.
Expect the unexpected. I'll say it again.
The flower on the dunny paper was good. I liked it.
Thanks, mate.
The level of execution is stupendous.
Especially the finishes of the tiling.
That should have been my bathroom!
We owe you.
I'm standing here thinking
do these boys hold onto their title of bathroom kings?
I think, yes, they do. I think, yes, they do.
The judges are now very reassured
that you have what it takes
to deliver a very successful home in this competition.
Well done, boys. That's it.
Well done boys.
2022, Omar and Oz, bathroom kings.
No one can come close to us.
Oz and I get to leave The Block and that's one thing
that we can always say to each other that we are the bathroom kings.
SCOTT CAM: Place your bets, ladies and gents
because it's time to count the scores.
Tom and Sarah Jane...
Darren Palmer...
I have loved everything that Tom and Sarah Jane have done so far.
Not as much as I love this.
That's gold.
Rachel and Ryan...
I don't think I see one safe choice in here.
And everything that I see, I love.
Ooh.
Ankur and Sharon...
Looking at the sheer scale of this room,
I can see why they've fallen short.
Dylan and Jenny...
I love the feeling in here.
I think it is really gorgeous.
And Omar and Oz...
This is streets ahead of every bedroom that Omar and Oz have done.
Well done, boys.
OK.
High scores all the way round.
Shaynna Blaze, Tom and Sarah Jane...
Come on, Shaynna.
You look around and to have that tartan all the way around
and know what colour to put with it, the talent here is phenomenal.
Thank you, Shaynna.
Rachel and Ryan...
So the fact they put a little bit of country in their wallpaper mural
and the cheque blanket, I'm really happy.
Ankur and Sharon...
Those tiles, I think are fantastic because it suits the house.
Dylan and Jenny...
It is a beautiful room and it's been put together perfectly.
It's finished properly.
And Omar and Oz...
It is relaxed, it's homey
and you know it's connecting to the landscape.
Not in colour palette but in the serenity of what it is.
Well done, boys.
Spewing.
There you go.
All right, Tom and Sarah Jane, you've got the gnome.
What are you doing?
I really trust in Neale, Neale really trusting our vision.
He always gives us great feedback so I thought, you know what,
I think we could take the when or draw without using it.
Save it. I reckon you save it.
You guys are so rich.
You've got bigger weeks, bigger rewards.
Tom, don't do this.
It's so rare that I don't want to just waste it.
When we're that close anyways to winning.
I'd like to say I've got all night but I don't.
I'm so torn because Neale is such a believer in us
and do we waste it when we could possibly win anyways?
Believe in Neale.
Yeah, cool, we'll use it.
You'll use it?
Roger that.
Spewing.
OK, Neale Whitaker, Tom and Sarah Jane.
It's like that feeling of, we know what we're doing. We love it.
We are having fun and that gives it that sense of sophistication.
Plus one.
Rachel and Ryan.
This room doesn't have a hero.
It doesn't have a wow factor, does it?
Ankur and Sharon.
The bedside lights literally just plonked down there.
Everything reads panic.
Dyl and Jenny.
I think they've absolutely maximised the impact of the space.
And Omar and Oz.
Do these boys hold on to their title
of the bathroom kings and I think yes, they do.
Totals.
OK, gang. Here we go.
The winner of week five on The Block Tree Change
taking home 10,000 bucks from Ford is...
It's Tom and Sarah Jane.
(APPLAUSE)
Well done.
You got a ten.
Congratulations, Tom and Sarah Jane.
As you can see, we had a tie.
You're lucky you used the gnome.
BOTH: Yeah.
But you've also got a ten so from catch.com.au,
5,000 bucks making it 15 grand.
Thank you.
Omar and Oz,
You got a ten. You've got 5,000 bucks from catch.com.au.
Thank you.
Use that to pay the Curcio brothers.
Yeah, true.
Also, Tom and Sarah Jane, don't forget,
you're going to get a magnificent...
BOTH: Tree.
..from Ford coming up your driveway.
Yeah, thank you.
So it's 29 points boosted to a perfect 30
for Tom and Sarah Jane this week.
Second place goes to the boys from house five on 29.
Rachel and Ryan scored a very healthy 26.
While Dylan and Jenny were given 24 1/2
And the battlers in house three just 22.
The gnome-assisted win takes Tom
and Sarah Jane further ahead on the domain superpower leaderboard.
However, Ankur and Sharon have slipped from second place last week
to wooden spooners this week.
OK, gang, one thing that puts
a smile on everybody's face is their kitchen.
That's right.
Next week is kitchen week.
The folks from Freedom Kitchens are busting
to get into your spaces and get started.
Suncorp will give you a budget of 21,000 bucks
so you and your trades can get that space ready for them.
Are we excited about kitchen week?
ALL: Yes.
Whoo.
Me too. Good luck. Good night.
See you.
Well done, my darling.
Well played.
Thank you.
Yay.
BOTH: We are the bathroom kings.
Great.
BOTH: Whoo! (LAUGHS)
