SCOTT VOICEOVER: Previously on the Block...
Before work even started on the colossal sheds
and work-from-home spaces, Blockheads were at breaking point.
Oh my god.
How are they...have they got no money?
Which leads to an all-in brawl.
You both need to understand that me and Omar are sacrificing
more than you guys.
God, I feel like I'm gonna headbutt someone in a minute.
Budgets running tight...
We have bills to pay and we have $0.
Tensions were running high.
How are you guys paying for mirrors if you got no money?
Rumour is, just so you guys know, the rumour is that you guys
are 90K in the debt.
And it wasn't just the contestants in the firing line.
We think you guys should be able to save money this week.
It's impossible! Are you kidding?
So, we all have $0 this week.
Jenny took a moment to cool down.
Argh! No! (LAUGHS)
And everyone got some much-needed family love
to bring it all into perspective.
This is a moment that we really wanted to be there.
Oh, I was shaking. It was unbelievable.
(EMOTIONAL MUSIC)
Tonight,
the race is on to the second last reveal on the Block Tree Change.
Go get 'em! Woo!
Missing trades jeopardise finished rooms.
Everybody just wants to get the (BLEEP) out of here,
and they just leave everything in the lurch.
While one team is given the devastating news
they won't even make the finish line.
You can't win this week.
And there's Block royalty in the house.
What do you expect judging looks like?
Well, you just walk into a room and just smash it, don't you?
(LAUGHTER)
We're at the end of the Block.
This is week one mistakes.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) But there's also a lot to love.
Ooh! Oh, wow.
Styling-wise and selling a dream, it does everything
that it's supposed to do.
I almost think that this space is enough for them to win the Block.
The winner of Week 11 on the Block Tree Change is...
(DOOR SLAMS) (BIRD TWEETS)
(DOG BARKS) (SHEEP BAAS)
# If I had words
# To make a day for you...
# I'd sing you a morning
# Golden and true. #
These clear Gisborne sunrises really are dreamy.
(EPIC MUSIC)
Just kidding!
It's raining again.
(MUSIC CONTINUES)
Mother Nature has not been kind overnight,
and our Blockheads are waking up to a soggy symphony
the last day of tools before work-from-home space reveal.
(RAIN FALLING)
Hey, Duncs.
How you going? Will you finish?
We will finish. Oh, good.
Yeah. I actually reckon it's the biggest endeavour
by any contestants for a week.
Ever. That's what I said weeks ago.
This will be our biggest week. Yep.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
At 180sqm, complete with four parking bays
and another allocated for home office,
these Stratco sheds are the biggest structures ever tackled
on the Block.
This week, three teams have decided to use 30sqm of space
for their work from home room.
Omar and Oz have doubled that to 60sqm,
and Tom and Sarah Jane have added a second-floor mezzanine level,
expanding their space to a whopping 120sqm.
Over at House 2, Rachel and Ryan are the only team
not presenting a work-from-home space.
They've opted for a second living area,
complete with wine bar overlooking their soon-to-be vineyard.
Pride of place will be their wood fireplace,
which today is the thing solely on Ryan's mind.
Riser! Mornin'!
How'd you go?
You got some...got some Z's?
I've just tried to delay the inevitable.
(LAUGHS) Once you start, you can't stop, ey?
Yeah. I've got so much painting to do.
Oh, man. Good luck.
Our fire installer sent Matty a message.
Not coming in.
Doesn't matter, get inst--like, build it,
and the flue can't get punched 'cause of the weather anyway.
Mmm.
Well, they can do that next week.
Or the week after. (LAUGHS)
Someone can figure it out. (LAUGHS)
The fire installer isn't only putting House 2 at risk
come judging by not turning up,
House 3 had planned to share the cost by using him as well.
There's so much to do. The fireplace installer hasn't rocked up.
How are we actually gonna get the fireplace into the space
without a forklift? The scafs up there as well.
We're in a mud pit. Car keeps getting bogged.
I just don't know how we're gonna do it.
It's gonna be OK. How you mean it's gonna be OK?
It's not gonna be OK. Not gonna finish.
Yeah, it just has to happen... How you so chill about this?
Within their back-to-basics budget, Ankur and Sharon
will keep their space simple with a concrete-look Caesarstone desk
and leather couch.
But, taking centre-stage is the show-stopping fireplace
they won back in Week 6.
That puts you guys the winners!
(CHEERING)
Well done.
We won a Schots fireplace
which is a huge value add to the house.
(PHONE RINGING) So on Saturday,
the installer just doesn't rock up
and doesn't return our phone calls.
(GRIM MUSIC) (PHONE CONTINUES RINGING)
No one's picking up.
So we've got no fireplace.
I tried to call a bunch of other installers,
I found a guy who I'm trying to convince to come here.
Everybody just wants to get the (BLEEP) out of here,
and they just leave everything in the lurch.
Me included.
(PHONE RINGS) I know, but like,
they just leave it and then just go, "oh, well. Who cares.
"It's not our problem."
Yeah, not ideal.
Back at House 2, Ryan is also on the hunt for a new installer,
and now he's discovered he's missing some parts for his flue.
That's ours.
So the 12-inch is House 3's.
And they must have some of ours, because we don't have enough
of them.
Alright. Come on, let's go for a drive.
On the hunt for a missing clue
Ryan and builder Matt pop up to House 3.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Hello! Shazza! How are ya?
Hi. I'm really stressed, mate.
People aren't rocking up. Y'know.
We've got some of your goodies.
This flue that we're bringing to you is too big for our fire.
Ours is triple. Yours is the 12-inch outer.
Yep. And ours is only the 8.
Which is that middle one. OK.
Appreciate it. Thanks, mate.
Did you guys get an installer?
We're trying. OK.
I called like 25 people,
so, it's probably not gonna happen. Nah.
I tried.
Are these guys a no-show, these...
They've gone to see if they can get insurance.
Yeah.
Alright, we're running out of time.
It'd be nice to have everyone's fire going,
but I can't see it happening.
No. Yeah.
Alright guys, good luck. Yeah, see ya.
I'll see you in the morning. Thanks, Ry. Good luck, mate.
Anks, why don't you shut...(BLEEP) (INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)
What about? That.
Why? Because.
We're just gonna put the flue in and just make it look like
it was going there. We're not actually installing it.
RACHEL: So, unfortunately, we need to deliver a room
without the completed fireplace.
SCOTT: Luckily, our old mate Duncan has a delivery
that will put a smile on their dial.
Back in Week 10, I thought it would be fun to play this...
(CHEERING)
..dressed like this...
(INDISTINCT CHATTER AND LAUGHTER) Good on ya, mower!
..to win this.
A Kubota zero-turn mower.
Waheey! Kubota! Yeah.
Well, this is our Kubota. Our Kubota!
You beauty! Woohoo!
What a delivery from Duncan.
So exciting. I'm so excited.
Right. I'll drive it out.
(MOTOR REVVING) (DUNCAN LAUGHS)
That's it, now you can let go. (RACHEL SQUEALS)
There you go! Oh, you beauty!
(LAUGHTER) It's like Mario Kart.
(IMITATING MARIO KART NOISES) (VIDEO GAME SOUND EFFECTS)
(LAUGHS)
Good work! What a beast!
You wanna drive it in?
Alright, let's take her up. Off you go.
I love that Kubota.
# Steppin' one, two...
# Where are you? #
Over at House 1, Tom and Sarah Jane have borrowed
an additional parking bay for their shed,
and are the only team to add a mezzanine level,
giving them a huge 120sqms of floor space.
Four times more than the original floor plan.
Upstairs is a work-from-home space, and downstairs is a second living
with WC and wine area, featuring the 50,000 wine cellar
they won as part of Master Bedroom Week.
My Vintec wine cellar.
Holds 1000 bottles.
You can literally walk in there and hide from everybody.
That's what I like about it the most.
It's another little man cave. (LAUGHS)
I'm eating fish and chips wondering why
Tom put the wine cellar facing this way.
Alright, we'll let's all see if we can move this.
Watch the plaster. I know it's my own fault but watch the plaster.
Yes!
OK, we'll just move this over.
(JAUNTY MUSIC)
I don't know if it looks any better.
(MAN LAUGHS IN BACKGROUND)
See ya later. I'm not moving it again.
What's that?
1860.
It's 1900.
Hey, Tommy.
You know the perfect spot?
I'm not moving it again, babe.
Just please once. Just please. Speak to them.
I'm doing... Please, once for me, baby, please.
I'm not playing musical wine cellars!
SCOTT VOICEOVER: Ah, yes you are, Tom.
And just be careful of the plaster. Ah, yes, foreman.
(GRUNTING) Great job! Awesome!
(PLAYFUL MUSIC)
Alright, 1...2... (GRUNTS) That's it.
My co-co. (LAUGHTER)
Finding a fireplace installer isn't the only issue for House 3.
Keith and Dan have dropped by to check on their progress.
Morning, guys. G'day.
Morning. Have a look at that.
Yeah. Look at the view you get.
The view is amazing. The view's so good.
Especially when the fog lifts. But yeah, beautiful.
And are you guys still putting a chase in the concrete slab
for a cable to come through to your desk in the middle?
(TAPE PAUSE SOUND EFFECT) SCOTT: Let's stop there.
(TAPE REWIND SOUND EFFECT) We need to go back a bit to explain.
(DING)
Did you end up having to cut the concrete
to put in the power?
No. I didn't end up doing that.
OK.
I got no balls... We were gone for all of Thursday...
Thursday, all that stuff that was supposed to happen Thursday
didn't happen.
SCOTT VOICEOVER: No. We need to go back further than that.
(REWIND SOUND EFFECTS)
(DING)
Here. # Power to the people #
There's no access to power in the middle,
'cause it's not touching a wall or anything.
Yep. 'Cause you obviously have to make
a channel in the concrete.
That's sort of the only way that you can get one that sits under...
Well, gotta be careful. Yep.
Um...If you can do it by yourself, Yeah.
Then yeah, I'm happy to let that go. OK.
Yay. Awesome, thanks Keithy.
Ankur and Sharon are planning a Caesarstone desk
for their work-from-home office.
To get power to the centre of the room,
they need to house out a channel for the electric cable
through the concrete floor.
Ankur needs to cut two 24mm deep lines,
which have a 10mm clearance from the structural (INAUDIBLE) below.
(DRILLING SOUNDS) A chisel will knock out the concrete
down the centre, creating a channel for the cable.
And in less than an hour, they will have power to their desk.
If you want, I can actually stand and give you a bit of help, too.
OK.
That'd be unreal. We'd be really grateful for that.
Do you wanna do it now?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Yeah, well, let's do everything in preparation for it,
and see what happens. Yep. Yep.
So in order to make their room functional,
Ankur was gonna roll up his sleeves and get his trade on.
Ideally, we wanna go... There.
..Right here. Yep.
I've never, ever cut concrete before.
No, so here's to learning new things every day.
But this running out of budget could be a blessing in disguise,
'cause now we're actually learning how to do (BLEEP)
'cause we have to.
(MUSIC PLAYS IN BACKGROUND)
OK, I think we've got it. Good.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(DING) Back yo you Keith.
And are you guys still, like putting a trace in the concrete slab
for a cable to come through to your desk in the middle?
That was the idea, Yeah.
but we don't think we've got enough time to do it safely and properly.
It's too risky. If it goes wrong,
then it jeopardises the whole structure of this slab.
Like, I don't think it's worth the risk,
when you get like wireless charging pads now,
you can charge everything else.
Like, you don't need it.
Your floors are down, aren't they?
Our floors are down. And the floors already in.
Common sense is gonna prevail.
Yeah. For once in house three, common sense prevails.
Thanks guys. Thank you, see you soon.
Bye. Bye.
Argh, no pairing the desk in an office.
I wouldn't exactly call that common sense.
So, there's just no power to the desk, is that right?
Don't tell them that.
Yeah, so there's no power to the desk.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Over at house five,
Omar and Oz are in a world of pain.
Saturday was probably the worst morning we've had to date
so far.
We woke up and there was just a massive puddle in our shed.
Weeks of unfavourable weather, has meant that my builders
have not been able to complete the roof on their Stratco shed.
Without a roof, the room is not watertight.
Our skylights are still leaking.
We're the only contestants on the block,
that doesn't have a roof on their shed at the moment.
It is what it is.
We've got a tarp on top.
We just gotta keep pushing forward. We're not giving up.
But we-we just wanna be heard.
That we're always the last on the block to get our stuff done,
so..And this is why we're here.
That was when we decided to call... Dan and Keith.
And just really say, "what are we actually doing?"
Because, we've already paid plasterers.
You can't be forced. And there's probably no point
tryna pay them to stop up on a Saturday,
when we probably can't get paint on.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES)
I was hoping it was going to stop raining last night,
but it just didn't.
Nah. All night.
Not much we can do about this.
Mother nature's taken over. We've had a month of rain.
The shed's are incomplete.
It's been too dangerous to send roofers up
on a massive roof like this with such slopes.
Yeah. Yep.
We both apologise.
(OVERLAPPING SPEECH)
We didn't have this space ready for you guys.
And that's on us.
It's not your fault.
It was just the weather from last month killed us
and we just haven't been able to get things done.
We're almost saying,
we just don't think even bringing plasterers in today,
there's no point. Yeah.
This gonna have to be redone.
You can't win this week.
(SAD MUSIC)
We knew it was only going to happen
but for them to really...
..Make us understand that this is exactly what's happening.
We were shocked.
(SAD MUSIC CONTINUES)
I can see you's are guttered... Yes, of course.
We came literally tryna win.
Every week we came, week out.
We have been getting stuff last all season.
It does feel like we haven't had the right end of the deal
on this block at all.
And we're still trying to produce rooms,
and it's finally come to a stage
where now we've actually been told
"listen, you're not gonna get a room done."
We're frustrated. It's not fair.
We're frustrated. Yeah, it's not fair.
That's for sure.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(DOG BARKS)
('Ritual' by Tiesto, Jonas Blue & Rita Ora PLAYS)
Welcome back to the block.
Where we are just 16 hours from work from home reveal.
# Oh, you'll always be my ritual. #
While work continues in the shed,
house one and four are also chipping away
at their SunCorp game changes.
Located at the front of their properties.
Tom and Sarah-Jane, it's their hobbit hut.
And Dylan and Jenny, a tiny home for clowns.
# Bigger, better, stronger, power. #
As we are entirely off grid this season,
Rafe from RedEarth energy storage pays them a visit to talk power.
Hey Tom, how's it going? Good mate, you?
Yeah, good.
So, this is the tiny home.
This is it. This is great. A little retreat.
Cool, hey. Yeah. Yeah, it is really cool.
May look a bit better with the tarp off, obviously.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
You were saying you needed something to power it, right?
Yeah man.
(GUITAR MUSIC PLAYS)
Well I've just brought over the solution here.
Awesome.
This is the RedEarth Black Max system.
(GUITAR MUSIC CONTINUES)
Yep.
It's a plug and play, all in one off-grid system.
With over 12 kilowatt-hours
of our Australian-made batteries in there.
So that'll keep you powered well into the night.
Yep.
And even on rainy beautiful days, like today.
Cool.
Back at house five,
Omar and Oz are still reeling from the news
they will not be able to complete their room this week.
They pulled the pin on us.
"Hey guys, you guys have to- we're pulling the pin,
we are sorry we couldn't get it ready."
We are devastated, heartbroken.
But we're confused, frustrated, like what do you want us to say?
This is a room that we were looking forward to.
This is a room that we put a lot of effort into it.
We-we designed this stratco shed
way back in week four, five.
Earlier this week,
our blockhead's had a visit from their families.
(SCREAMS OF EXCITEMENT)
And Oz's brothers have stuck around.
I've had an idea that might lift their spirits.
There's still five grand up for grabs this week,
thanks to Simmonds.
If the boys can fix all their defects.
Keith, what's going on boys?
For the first time in block history,
we're gonna allow the brothers
to actually do some painting in the houses this week
to fix up all the defects.
It's never happened in block history.
It's always only the contestants that paint.
But because we've held you up outside,
we're gonna allow you guys to help Oz and Omar,
hopefully win five grand.
So you get the full block experience.
An all nighter, on the brush.
(CALMING MUSIC)
Now we all sat down and we said "do you know what?,
I think, let's be fair. Let's say no to the painting."
This hasn't happened in 18 years,
we're not gonna be the first people to allow outsiders paint for us.
We're more than happy to get it done ourselves.
Thank you Scotty, but, no thank you to be honest.
Let's play a fair game. And we're all about fair game.
MAN: Do you think the other contestants would have cracked it?
100 percent the other contestants would have cracked it.
Regardless of what other contestants think or not,
if we were in any of their shoes and they were in ours,
they wouldn't have lasted the 12 weeks on the block at hour five.
Never. No way.
(CHEERFUL MUSIC)
The race is on to reveal the only interior room of their shed.
Everyone's hero items are starting to arrive.
Like this TV.
(CHEERFUL MUSIC CONTINUES)
This chandelier.
Well done guys.
Maybe a little bit lower.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
And this guy.
We got a fireplace!
Now I'm plumbing, so Lance and Luke have come to the rescue.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
After 732 phone calls,
Sharon has finally found someone to install their fireplace.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
And his name is Lance.
I wanna make a hole up there. Yeah.
Then go out on the roof and see if it's gonna work.
If clearance is wise. Yes.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
So with that problem solved,
they can now crack on with the installation.
(APPLAUSE) Good work Sharon.
I think we've got bigger issues than that.
Yeah? Booo!
Have we got a quote for this job yet?
Initially, Schots was supposed to install this fireplace.
But their installer had disappeared,
so I hustled my butt off.
Found somebody, proposed that person to Schots.
They accepted the installer
and came to a quote that they were gonna cover
for the installation of this amazing fireplace.
Because I've cut the budget to house three,
they don't have a dollar over the $1500 bucks allocated.
From what I've heard from Mel,
this $1500 is all you's are getting for the install.
OK, yep.
I know I get charged two and a half to three grand.
Yep. And it's a Saturday evening
and after hours. Yep.
Scotty ain't giving anymore money. Yeah.
There's no money, I told you.
We need a quote. Yep.
We need to get him on the phone, we need it all approved.
OK.
Hey Jeff, how you going?
JEFF: Good. That's good.
We just need to get the quote
because they're not gonna approve any work over $1500.
So... (DEVASTATING MUSIC)
Yep. Yep.
Why call?
All good?
(SIGHS) Oh, it's not, but anyway, I'll do it for that.
Thank you mate, I really appreciate it. (APPLAUSE)
No worries, thanks. Thank you, bye.
# I spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly... #
He's approved $1500.
OK, if Jeff's approved it. Yep.
The guys have been signed in, we can do it.
Yep, awesome.
# Make a wish... After agreeing to share an installer
is Sharon gonna let Ryan know they've got one?
# ...breakaway. #
Any moment now.
Nope. Looks like their just going to push on with the installation.
(OVERLAPPING SPEECH)
A 200 kilo half that needs to be moved inside.
For the base of the fireplace.
We're good, we're good.
This halfway is like a crap tonne, but the landscaper boys are amazing
and they'll bring it in.
Yay!! Thank you so much!
The sun sets on the day before reveal.
In house three,
the fireplace install is finally near completion.
MAN: And you made it? Yes, we made it.
I stuck to my guns.
I kept fighting.
And we've got it done.
Are you good?
Lance and Lukey killed it. I know!
Mount my plumbing.
Absolutely smashed it.
They came to the rescue. It looks amazing.
Well done! Amazing. I know, thank you.
MAN: What's that saying?
Under a lot of pressure, is a diamond.
Yeah.
Diamonds are created... ..under pressure or something.
Yeah, literally that's what it is.
Our saying was, keep on polishing tunes.
Despite initially sharing installers with house three,
it appears Lance has not made a stop in house two.
And now Rachel and Ryan are forced to present a room
with an incomplete fireplace.
I heard they have a fireplace in.
Oh really? Yep.
I'm kind of at a point of I'm over questioning how house three's
getting stuff done.
Like, I mean, it's crazy, right?
They've got no money, we're shutting them down completely.
So much debt.
Here's a fireplace.
You know?
There won't be any favours coming from us anymore.
It's just such a joke.
It's an absolute stitch up.
It's a stitch up.
# When you walk...#
OK, now push, keep pushing.
We've got an Angie summer.
Oh it is too.
('You'll Never Walk Alone' by Gerry & The Pacemakers PLAYS)
How are we gonna get everything in the room?
Who cares? Will not miss this.
Just a bit to the left mate. Just a little dash.
Looks perfect.
Yeah, that's great.
Nice work mate.
That's just looking great.
There's a week to go, Jen.
You're thinking too much.
Lay a couple of cushions on the lounge and be done with it.
I am. (LAUGHS)
Keep going, keep going, keep going.
(MUSIC CONTINUES)
Just whack it in.
Time? I reckon so.
(WHISTLES)
(DOG BARKS) Tools down!
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
What (BLEEP).
Oh my god, that was the worst.
That is the worst.
(BUZZING SOUNDS)
Tom, please stop being annoying.
(BUZZING SOUND CONTINUES) Stop!
Yeah, we are competitive.
Yes it is unfair. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
But at the end of the day, we always look at the bigger picture.
MAN: Was it important for you to present something?
Oz and I genuinely wanted to do something.
And that was to reveal the room the best we can.
And we've done that week and week out.
And nothing was gonna stop us from doing that this week, so...
It is what it is.
It's worth it. We just show the judges
that we did not give up.
Yes, they did pull the pin on us.
But we ain't giving up.
Let's go. Bah.
Ohh!
(THEME MUSIC)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(DOG BARKS)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(CALMING MUSIC)
Let's do it.
(SIGHS)
Let's go. (DOG SOFTLY GROWLS)
Hey, shh. Shh.
(CALMING MUSIC CONTINUES)
Let's go.
Boys. Scotty.
G'day. Hello guys.
Hello Scotty. Hi.
Crazy. G'day.
Good evening everybody.
ALL: Good evening Scotty.
So close to the end.
You can taste it, right?
Yeah. Absolutely.
But I tell you what, this week was a really tough week.
There is no doubt about it,
and on a personal note,
I want to apologise to Omar and Oz on behalf of The Block.
What with the rain we've had over the last month,
we were unable to finish your shed
and therefore you were unable to finish your room,
so for that, we say sorry.
For what it's worth, I did instruct the judges
to ignore the fact that it wasn't finished
and to judge it as if it was
because it certainly wasn't your fault.
So, sorry for that, boys.
All good. It is what it is.
Scotty... Wouldn't be different -
any apologies and we accept it. Yeah, 100%.
No grudges are held at all against anyone.
We understand it's a tough gig trying to get this block finished.
Speaking of judges, we were two down today.
Oh! Oh!
Yes. Shaynna Blaze and Neale Whitaker
tested positive to COVID during the week
and were unable to come to judging today.
Oh, my gosh.
Who filled in?
The good news is they're fine, if you were asking.
(LAUGHTER)
"Who filled in?"
(LAUGHTER)
We are worried, we are worried. I'm glad they're fine.
(LAUGHTER)
The good news is, now that you asked,
is that they're fine
and they'll be back next week for the finale.
So, we had two guest judges today and a couple of friends of mine
who when I called, dropped everything
and made their way to The Block.
Former contestants and winners of The Block.
(LAUGHTER)
Completing The Block not once but twice,
taking home a combined total of over $1 million at auction.
This week, stepping in for our judges
is Australian interior designers and entrepreneurs,
Alisa and Lysandra.
They will of course be joined by this guy, Darren Palmer.
It's your lucky day. (LAUGHTER)
It is. What did you do right?
What do you expect judging looks like?
Well, you just walk into a room and just smash it, don't you?
(LAUGHTER)
So, thank you very much to the twins for turning up today.
There is a lot at stake.
On offer tonight,
is the last 10,000 bucks from Ford in this competition.
Wow.
So, let's find out who is going to get that right now. Let's go.
Tom and Sarah-Jane.
I really need to like google 'agiteers' before I come in here.
Or was it 'nounce'?
This week was big.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Tom's favourite place to hang out in our home is the shed.
Yeah. Far, far away from me.
Hmm.
I got two desk lamps.
'Cause I got two desks in my office space.
Oh, wow.
See, I like this. I like it. Yes. Yeah.
Oh, I've got that one, babe.
No, you don't.
(LAUGHS) OK?
I don't mean to make you feel upset, Sarah-Jane.
You literally make me (BLEEP) every day.
Alright. Well, go find a new husband if that's how you feel.
See? What you want me to say?
"Go find a new husband." That's your response?
PRODUCER: You OK?
Mm-hm.
I apologised to Sarah-Jane for making her feel like crap.
And I accepted your apology.
This room is about the buyers.
This is what buyers want.
No one else is giving it to them.
They're getting it here at house one.
# Welcome to my cage, little lover
# Attempt to rearrange with you, baby
# Still don't know your...
I hope the judges are blown away
with the sheer scale of what we've achieved this week
and that they take into consideration
what we've built for potential buyers that no other house has got.
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Oh, thank you.
Wow, this is cosy.
What is that?
Is that meant to be there? That is meant to be there.
Alisa was the first to say something today.
"This is cosy."
"But what is this big black box in the room?"
Luckily, Darren knew exactly what it was.
That is a Vintec Espace. They won that.
It's worth $50,000.
It's a wine storage system.
Oh.
It kind of smacks you in the face, doesn't it?
If that was me, I think I would have like in a wall, concealed it.
Yeah, for sure. Instead of like P that's like P
you don't know what you're walking into.
Hmm.
You wouldn't have had time to do that.
Yeah, we'll clad it, no problems. (LAUGHS)
But going over to have a look at it,
she also can see what great amenity it offers.
(LAUGHS)
Especially, once her sister locked her inside it.
(LAUGHTER)
It is cool.
(CHUCKLES)
Well... (KNOCKING ON DOOR)
That's a way to start.
What?
(LAUGHS)
Hey, if I'm ever going to be locked in a room,
that's the room I want to be locked in.
Fair point, fair point.
Amen.
Darren Palmer also thinks it makes sense
to have created an additional living space for the home.
Because you've got five bedrooms, a massive living-dining,
but there's no sort of secondary cinema viewing space
that you can sort of send the kids to.
But if you've got a wine zone that's allocated
with a $50,000 walk-in wine fridge,
it takes more than a barrel and some stools
to define that as a wine area for me.
I would not come in here and go...
"How's your week been?"
I just wouldn't.
I agree.
Ten out of ten.
That's how they bribe us.
Yeah. Just so you know.
If they had food there, it'd definitely be a ten for me.
Give them a 12.
But Lysandra did have many positive comments about your room.
Looking around, she thought the finishes are really impressive.
Obviously, they have gone with two car spaces this week,
and by the looks of it, upstairs, in one week.
Our Sky-high living and dining was probably this size
and we got a full week just for that.
Such a huge amount of work.
There is a staircase over here
and light streaming down from inside.
Hmm. What could it be?
A study, I hope. I'm guessing a home office.
First of all...
What have we... Toilet. Toilet.
Hey, alright.
On their way upstairs, they found the WC you have added this week
and noted that while it isn't finished,
it does provide great additional amenity for the home when it is.
Look, it's going to get put in later
and it's a great addition to the space, really.
It does show you how hectic this week was
'cause there's still wet paint.
I guarantee you they didn't sleep last night.
I guarantee that's true.
# On we march with a midnight song
# We will light our way with our lanterns on
# On we march till we meet the dawn
# We will light our way with our lanterns on...
Alright. Now, I'm wearing Shaynna shoes today.
(SQUEALS)
OK, that is a very good Shaynna Blaze impression.
I really like it.
Upstairs, Alisa gave you a big Shaynna Blaze style reaction
at the top of the stairs.
She was loving this.
Wow.
What a beautiful space. Whoa.
This is a shed we're standing in. We're standing in a shed.
This is priceless real estate.
It's like they've built a whole new apartment in a garage
in one week.
And then Darren brought their attention to the kitchenette.
Talk about loading up the space with amenity.
So, if one wine fridge downstairs is not enough, you have another.
This is a really good, functional workspace.
I could run my business from here, for sure.
Clearly, a lot of thought and planning has gone into this,
including engineering and the space is very well planned and executed.
It's also quite architectural
when you actually look at it, isn't it?
They haven't just covered the pitch with plasterboard.
They've added the skylights, they've added the bulkheads.
It's a really beautiful room aesthetically.
It feels really thought out,
so hats off to them for thinking in advance.
And outside the square.
Yeah.
Obviously. Well, it goes without saying.
Pitch, pitch. Outside the pitch.
The eight large-format VELUX skylights are sensational.
How insane is it looking at this level
out all of these windows at all that beautiful countryside?
I almost think that this space is enough for them to win The Block.
From a buyer's perspective, it is so appealing.
Yeah, yeah, I think it's definitely one of the things
that could tip them over the edge.
Everyone agreed that this is a room
that next owner will happily spend a lot of time in.
That's it. Thank you.
Beautiful. Thank you.
Well done, babe. (APPLAUSE)
It's the best planned room on the whole block.
We built a whole house in four days. Yeah, we built a house.
We built a granny flat.
(DOG BARKS)
# The devil doesn't bargain, he'll only break your heart again
# It isn't worth it, darling...
House two, Rachel and Ryan.
# The devil doesn't bargain...
(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)
This week was so much fun.
50% amazing and 50% holy moly, there's a lot to do.
(LAUGHS)
(UPBEAT DRUMMING)
Why should we stick to one rule
when there seems to be other rules happening in other houses?
Question for you guys, right?
How are you guys paying for mirrors if you've got no money?
(PASSIONATE STRINGS)
I think this is it.
Let's get them.
# I'd catch a grenade for ya...
And then I just saw Everleigh and Mila,
they just came running out.
It was really good feeling just to get them in your arms.
I have three children and this is just P am I home?
We won $10,000! We won $10,000!
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Wow, wow.
Good progress in the media room.
This is so big. You don't want it that big?
Well, the lounge is there, the TV is there.
Who designed the stairs?
PRODUCER: Ryan's gone rogue, has he?
It's not gone rogue.
This is 11 weeks of this.
# Gave my love to a shooting star
# But she moves so fast that I can't keep up
# I'm chasing...
I think they're going to just walk in there
and just know that this is a really nice space to get away.
Execution is perfect, it's warm, it looks out to our vineyards,
it's so relevant to our house, this space.
I just hope they take that into consideration.
Whoa.
Oh, wow! Oh, wow!
Entering your room today
and you got two simultaneous 'Oh, wows' from both the twins.
They are identical, so they do say stuff at the same time.
Oh, my god. I love it. I really like it.
Wow, check out this wall!
Alisa thought that huge Grafico wallpaper is insane.
That's massive.
That wallpaper is insane.
Check out this view.
Whoa. Wow.
Darren noted that in house one,
the wine zone isn't somewhere you would want to sit
but in here, it's a very different story.
You've got a wine zone, a fireplace, a stunning view,
and somehow this feels more appropriate
because it's been treated aesthetically for that purpose.
And by adding in those brick tiles,
you know, you're really bringing in that kind of cellar feel
which is what I feel house one lacked.
Yeah, but what house one did very well
is they doubled the space and they used the void.
If we are judging this room as it is, I think it's a big tick.
I would love to sit down here
and hang, watch some TV or have a drink with a friend.
I just think they have nailed,
you know that feeling you get when you walk into a room?
I've got it. It's like I don't want to leave.
And even though they haven't used that ceiling space like house one,
it's the wow-factor that house one don't have
when you come into that room, so it has its pros and cons.
Darren agreed it is very athletically well done,
but also noted there was no sink in the benchtop.
So, whilst house one had a sink and we had a dishwasher,
and we had the storage here for wine and the bar fridge, et cetera,
then we don't really have a sink in here,
so you've got to traverse into the kitchen to do that.
Is not that far.
The butlers is right there, right? So, that's not so bad.
I can see a note and does it say...
It says the fireplace is incomplete.
See the flu doesn't go through the ceiling.
Right. Oh! No, it doesn't.
And while the fireplace is a great addition to the room,
Lysandra thinks the hearth is a bit harsh for her.
I'm not sure I'm really loving the base of it.
I think they definitely could have picked
something a little bit more rustic.
Yeah, the bricks. That's exactly what I was thinking.
At least, you know, tie it into something.
It's a little bit, you know, harsh for me.
Yep.
I would normally hate that pendant light.
Same.
SCOTT: While she would normally hate the pendant,
she loves it in this room.
It's just so fitting with that leather couch.
Take that away and I think the whole mood of this room
would completely go.
DARREN: I really like the timber
and you can see that it continues up the hallway
into the rest of the house,
so that's a really lovely link between the two spaces,
and also, you know,
you can appreciate from a professional point of view,
how great it is that they've linked this tile with that tan leather.
You know, design-wise and styling-wise
and selling a dream,
it does everything that it's supposed to do.
Lysandra then asked Darren
if your house had a dedicated study area and he answered no.
So, she wondered if you've made the right decision on amenity
by choosing to deliver this room as a living and wine space,
rather than a work from home space.
I guess from a buyer's perspective,
everybody working from home these days, I think, I don't know,
would you choose this over having a study?
I don't know.
Alisa thinks you have delivered a room
that's very functional as a TV space,
but delivers even more value
to selling the dream of the country lifestyle
as a place to drink with friends.
That's what it is. That's all it is.
SCOTT: Amen to that.
Amen, Scotty. (LAUGHS)
When I think about going to the country
and meeting up with some friends,
it's sitting down, it's having a glass of wine, it's socialising,
so I really just think that this area here,
I don't think I would forego this area.
If there was anything that I would forego,
it's probably the living space
and I would maybe put a home office there.
I think what the great thing about this,
they've got five bedrooms,
so they can change one of the bedrooms into a study
if they need.
They decided that what they could see today
is something that has been really well-designed and executed
and will definitely have great buyer appeal on its own,
especially when it's looking out to a vineyard next week.
Oh, yeah. Exactly right.
Perfect. That's it.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Well done, babe. (APPLAUSE)
Work from wherever you want.
You want to do yoga with a laptop in front of you, go for gold.
Yeah. We've created a space
where you can do whatever you want. We didn't put limitations on it.
People are going to walk into that room and absolutely love it.
Yeah.
(DOG BARKS)
OK, house three, Ankur and Sharon.
Ah... MAN (CHANTING): Sharon! Sharon!
(BLEEP) So, where do I start?
(LAUGHTER)
Is it like...
(CHEERING)
I am definitely excited to see the shed coming together
because of the moment, it's bones.
Yeah, it's a bit - yeah, bones. A bit of a shell.
We just need more coverage over the whole thing.
The fireplace has been approved.
How?
Schots gave us this amazing fireplace that's part of a win
and now, they can install our fireplace which is awesome.
When we first saw our family, I was overwhelmed.
Our family was just in shock.
Biggest house ever on The Block, biggest living-dining,
biggest mirror.
It's our house.
# It's coming round again, slowly creeping hand
# Soon enough it comes, settles in its place
# Its shadow in my face, puts pressure in my day...
I think we've sold enough of an idea to a potential buyer.
I just hope they see the vision of the bones of the room
and that it will be great on auction day.
Ooh!
OK.
This is different. What is that?
What is that?
Is that a desk?
That's a desk.
Looks like a kitchen. I thought it was a kitchen.
Fair to say, it took all three judges a moment
to digest what they were seeing when they came into your room today.
"This is different" was one comment.
"What is that? Is that a desk?", asked Lysandra.
It is confusing.
It actually took a moment
for my brain to compute what that was.
It's a desk space.
You've got loads and loads of storage,
you've got like OK, I don't know why you need two bins here though.
'Cause it's a kitchen.
(LAUGHS)
It's confused.
"Am I a kitchen, am I study?"
Yeah, but bingo, right?
It's clearly... Yeah.
It's not a kitchen because you've got no fridge,
you've got no sink, you've got no dishwasher,
so it's not a kitchen.
It's definitely a work-from-home space,
but visually, all the queues, even the inclusions,
point to it being a kitchen. It is odd.
It's way too deep in my opinion to be an office desk.
It's not functional. Like...
It's very cold.
Like, ice cold. Oh, Jesus.
Alisa I was definitely questioning
the use of the concrete Caesarstone on the desk.
It's very cold to the touch,
a very unusual choice for a desktop, that's for sure.
But perhaps the biggest problems they encountered in your room today
were around the general functionality of the space.
The cut-out for obviously the electrical,
that doesn't feel like that's in the right place.
You think, you know, your screen is going to be,
you know, sitting here, you've got your keyboard,
you've kind of got a hole
just in the middle of your working space.
Yeah.
Excuse me one second. I just need to see something.
Power point? Any GPOs?
No. (GASPS) No!
No, there is not a power point there.
No, there has to be.
No way!
So, there's cable management without a GPO.
You're kidding me.
Wow. OK, that's an epic fail.
Wow.
And that is also something now that just can't be...
That's a slab.
That's slab here,
so if there's no floor GPO,
there's no way you can get one in
unless you carve all the floor up and then relay it.
You can't get it from here to there without carving up this floor,
you can't go up and under, like that's a concrete slab.
Wow.
So, that... Great pick-up.
That is useless.
That is an epic fail.
Yeah.
Not putting a GPO in the desk
despite putting the desk in the middle of the room,
in Lysandra's words today, an epic fail.
You think that when you see it on TV
or you see it being judged and you get the feedback,
that, "Oh, surely they don't crawl under desks and look for..."
Yeah, I do. I do. I look for all that stuff
because if it doesn't function the way it's intended and designed
and they've taken the effort to put that in
but not had the foresight to run the cabling to run a GPO,
why do that?
So, really, this whole area is not functional at all.
You cannot stress the emphasis of creating a smart home these days.
Buyers expect it. It is an inclusion.
It's not an extra anymore.
They have to be considering the buyers when they're creating,
especially a place like this.
This is a functional space,
so to not include your GPO here is a huge fail.
But then Lysandra took in the fireplace
and what a beautiful fireplace it is too.
That would certainly warm things up in here.
What a beautiful fireplace that is.
I haven't seen anything like it.
Yeah, it's stunning.
But when you've lit this...
It's going to get pretty hot. It's going to get pretty hot, right?
Plus, your view is right out here.
As pretty as this fireplace is, it belongs over there.
It does belong right there. So that you can see out.
You can't just pick that up and move it over there.
It's not, it's not a room that now can be easily changed.
Not with that, no.
No, that's not going anywhere. Yeah.
All three judges today
think it would have been better in the other corner.
We're at the end of The Block.
This is week one mistakes.
Like, this is not end of The Block mistakes.
Like, you should have done enough rooms by now
to think, "Right, where do I need to put my GPO?"
Like, this isn't, it's not, it's pretty 101 stuff.
Yeah.
I think we've had enough.
Oh, yeah.
I think we need to go to house four.
Let's go and check it out.
That's it.
(APPLAUSE)
No money. What are you going to do?
SCOTTY: House four.
I think it's a joke
because they make it sound like we didn't think about it
and it's like the mistakes you make in week one.
We thought about it so the GPO under the desk...
I had to grind it out myself which was going to be a Thursday thing.
We had a challenge on Thursday.
It is absolutely unfair but not a surprise.
It's negative, it's designed to make us feel like (BLEEP)
and it does.
# I can't feel my face when I'm with you... #
Next up, house four.
Dylan and Jenny.
These are so hard. Um...
How was our week? Quickly.
Um... We always start with hectic.
(LAUGHS)
This week was...scary.
It's cool that we are doing a little study media room out there.
Yeah, I'm excited. We've got a big telly to go in so...
Yeah. Biggest TV on The Block.
(SCREAMS)
No! Oh, my God.
What was that scream?
That was like an animal.
Are you kidding me?
We had the hen's party and those girls got up to no good.
Oh, my God.
This would have been fun.
Wish I was here.
Oh!
There's destruction going on next door.
They're building a tennis court.
It's massive. It will be like 15 x 10 easy.
I don't mind that they're doing a tennis court
but why are you doing it right outside my living room?
It's ridiculous.
The winner is...
(SCREAMING)
Whoo!
We won!
That area can be the kids' hang-out area
or when you're having the pizza oven on
and you've got your little bar there
or if you want to work from home, you can
so definitely it's a multipurpose space.
Yeah, I hope they like it.
Ooh.
Oh, my God.
Whoa. Holy TV!
Wow.
There was one thing that really took their attention today
when they walked into your room.
Is that 100? 98, yeah.
98" Samsung.
98? Yeah.
Bloody hell.
It's big. It's big, isn't it?
It's amazing to watch too.
Once they'd gotten over the television,
Alisa commented that this was a pretty successful combination
of a home office and living space in one room.
They've finally done it.
They've done the Home Office and living in one.
I'm loving the fact that they've got
all of the inclusions that we were talking about.
For me, it's lacking that little bit of...
I don't really feel anything in this space. Yes, it ticks the boxes.
And potentially what they could have done is put a little...
Round rug.
A round rug, a round table,
made it a little bit of a sitting area for when you have lunch.
It feels a little bit undercooked.
It's nice...
I thought so too.
..but undercooked.
The example of this being undercooked is right here.
This is a bar but you know that because...
..of that and that.
Yeah, I think that this would have been way more useful
as a coffee station for when you're sitting there
and you feel like a coffee during the day.
They could have blown this up.
They could have made more out of it.
Then they could have had the coffee space,
a bar space, workspace and the TV space.
All of those things, they could have had.
I mean, you can see that there is definitely the room.
I guess they were probably really banking on that TV
doing a lot of heavy lifting for this space and also for the house.
You now, the big ticket in here is wow, cinema room, right?
But...
..that's not enough to sell a house for me.
It's a nice room.
Just a bit undercooked.
It's... Yeah.
When we mention the word 'nice'...
You're not doing your job.
..it's never great. Is it?
The twins did agree that you have done a lot of things right
in here, certainly
the finishes are great except for a giant crack in the ceiling.
I don't know what has happened.
Wow.
But other than that jumping out at me,
the finishes do actually look pretty good.
That does jump out at you though.
It definitely is there.
That's not a small crack.
Is that water damage?
No, the scissor lift went straight into it last night.
Did it?
Yeah.
Who was driving that?
(LAUGHTER)
I was so off myself.
He was really mad.
How was your head? Did it go through first?
Oh, I wish.
(LAUGHTER)
Perfect. Just what you want on a Saturday night.
BOTH: Yeah.
Love it.
Given what's inside,
that it's a five bedroom house
with a really knockout living dining space,
an amazing kitchen, this is a good cinema room.
It's a good work from home space and I think, on the marketing brochure,
it probably won't be shown.
It will be listed.
And I do think that somebody that was coming into this room
could really visualise this room however they won't see it.
Don't forget, guys, they've got one week to go.
This is a pretty big effort to get a room completed.
The finishes are pretty good. It's functional.
I think they've done a really good job.
Yeah.
Elisa ended by praising you.
Big effort for a week
considering how much must be going on in week 11.
That's it.
Thank you.
It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.
Good job.
We thought we'd get roasted a bit more for our room
because I really liked it but seeing it this morning,
I was like, I would do things or add more.
It was definitely undercooked.
(DOWNBEAT MUSIC)
House five, Omar and Oz.
This week, as if we were playing tenpin bowling.
(SIGHS)
We stack 'em up and we keep getting knocked down, mate.
How are you guys affording everything you're doing?
Jenny just came over and...
Blasted us.
I feel a bit pissed off.
I understand your frustration
but are you at our house every single day?
No, but I know you guys are always out working.
So you don't see if we put the work in.
Yeah, but we put the work in at night. No one sees how we work.
At night?
She's asking a lot of questions.
That's good. It's good to ask questions.
Not too much.
House one, two, three, four.
I've got everything to be honest but, hey, it is what it is.
We've got to deliver something but it's gotta be something.
We've got the best plan. The boys are here.
We are ready to go. Walk into the space.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
See my littles. They're just running and then little Casey running.
Oh, wow.
It was the moment that we really wanted to be.
That's bad.
We got our guys doing insulation
so we can start wrapping it to get more watertight.
We've got so much leaks and stuff happening,
our roof still hasn't been done.
No, honestly, we just want the judges to walk in and be like,
this would be an amazing space had things gone their way.
I really believe that this is triple-ten room.
(SIGHS)
Oh... Yeah.
Oh. Oh.
Yeah, it's not their fault.
As soon as he saw the twins' faces walking into your room today,
Darren explained immediately
the issues that you had faced with your room this week.
So this is all unset plaster
because this structure didn't exist last week.
So The Block is going to apologise to Omar
and Oz because they really didn't have a chance to set this plaster,
to get it painted because they were just behind everybody else.
So we've just got to have a little bit of foresight here.
Just a little bit.
Use your imagination. OK.
So we could assume that they would
have at least plaster set this and painted,
put the floors down well.
OK.
So...but that's definitely not The Block's fault.
(LAUGHTER)
No, it's not.
Neither is that artwork there.
I'm sorry.
No.
So do you like it?
Whoa.
Wow. I don't even have words.
(LAUGHS)
Darren looked around at the layout
and could see the various and generous zones you had created.
Fireplace, TV zone, bar area, and a gigantic desk.
This, as a control centre for an office, I mean that's bananas.
But is it too big?
This is one desk.
It's not really a functional desk for one person.
It's too big, isn't it?
Judges also suggest you lose one of the cabinets under the desk
and make it a desk for two people.
Also it's interesting, you've got loads of space in here,
the same amount of space as Tom and Sarah Jane
but they had a powder room as well.
They've got that massive wine cellar
and they've used the void so, whilst I love the void up here...
..got to say, Tom and Sarah Jane's use of the space was better.
Do you want to feel nice?
This is impressive.
I think house one had that wow factor when you went upstairs.
Mmm. But not as you walked in.
That was a little bit kind of small, underwhelming
whereas you walk in here and it has that wow factor in all three rooms.
Which would you prefer?
One or five?
Layout?
Yeah.
Which would you prefer?
I think I would prefer this.
Yeah, me too.
OK, you were going to gang up on me eventually.
It happened!
(LAUGHS) Yay.
But the storage is incredible in the office space.
Great Kinsman cabinetry.
I think that out of all the houses that we've seen,
it's certainly ticking the boxes.
As Darren said today, when this room is finished,
it's not just a note on the brochure.
This is a room that will make a great photo as well.
In fact, it may very well become a key selling point to your home.
Lots of the choices in here,
Lots of the decisions they've made in lots of the inclusions are great.
I love that fireplace.
This sofa, the back of this sofa...
Sexy.
Yeah, right?
That's the word.
I like what they've done here in terms of the style.
It's a different feeling...
It's masculine.
..to some of the rest of the house.
But it definitely is as masculine as some of the other spaces inside.
You know, these guys obviously do have an eye.
They've used the right family of timbers.
Nothing is competing with each other.
It definitely has the potential to be sophisticated.
They've definitely got it, don't they?
Yeah.
Darren was quite amazed
that they had just been through five vast rooms today
and they're actually inside Stratco's sheds.
A shed is no longer just a shed any more for your cars.
No. It's a beautiful, habitable, vaulted, gorgeous space.
Yeah.
You guys did great.
Aww, thank you.
Thanks for joining us. It's been fun.
Thank you for asking us and it's much nicer being on this side...
(LAUGHTER)
Good on you.
(APPLAUSE)
They loved the furnishing.
I love the sizes of the two bays.
They said they love to work in a space like this
and I think Darren said
that this would actually sell your place and will photograph very well.
So we've just got to get it done next week
which is going to be a massive ask
considering it's the last week on The Block for us
but we'll get it done.
They'll be amazed.
(CHILLED OUT MUSIC)
OK, scores. Here we go.
This is a first.
Alisa. Tom and Sarah Jane.
This is priceless real estate.
It's like they've built a whole new apartment in a garage in one week.
Rachel and Ryan.
I would love to sit down here
and hang, watch some TV or have a drink with a friend.
I just think they have nailed...
You know that feeling you get when you walk into a room?
I've got it.
Ankur and Sharon.
This is a functional space
so to not include your GPO here is a huge fail.
Dylan and Jenny.
I'm loving the fact that they've got all of the inclusions
that we were talking about.
For me, it's lacking that little bit of...
I don't really feel anything in this space.
And Omar and Oz.
I think that, out of all the houses that we've seen,
it's certainly ticking the boxes.
OK. Here we go.
Lysandra.
Tom and Sarah Jane.
Wow. What a beautiful space.
Rachel and Ryan.
I guess from a buyer's perspective,
would you choose this over having a study?
I don't know.
Ankur and Sharon.
This is week one mistakes.
Like, this is not end of The Block mistakes.
Dyl and Jenny.
Whoa. Holy TV.
And Omar and Oz.
You know these guys obviously do have an eye.
They've used the right family of timbers.
Nothing is competing with each other.
Now I don't know if anybody noticed
but the identical twins have done identical scores.
We noticed. We noticed.
Did you notice?
We noticed.
They did it separately. Freaky, aren't they?
OK, Darren Palmer.
The first time behind here.
Now, before I go, Tom and Sarah Jane, old mate down here.
Do you want to use him?
No, we'll leave him there, mate. He looks pretty cosy.
Yeah. Really?
Yup, no, we've had a plan since we got him and it's not for this week.
You're talking about old mate here?
That car, baby. It's that one.
Fine. No worries. Roger that. See ya.
See you, mate.
OK, now Darren Palmer for the first time, behind the board.
Come on, Daz.
Got an upgrade.
Darren Palmer, Tom and Sarah Jane.
How insane is it looking at this level
out all of these windows at all that beautiful countryside?
Rachel and Ryan.
Design-wise and styling wise
and selling a dream, it does everything that it's supposed to do.
Ankur and Sharon.
Can you just feel the exhaustion in here?
Ankur and Sharon are trying but it's just a lot.
Dylan and Jenny.
The example of this being undercooked is right here.
This is a bar but you know that because of that and that.
Omar and Oz.
Lots of the choices in here,
lots of the decisions they've made and lots of inclusions are great.
OK, totals.
Right, come on, Daz.
Come on, Daz.
Darren loves you guys.
Yeah, Darren loves you guys.
Little bitch to big bitch.
Big bitch, come in.
I hope Darren gives you a -7.
(LAUGHTER)
OK, here we go.
The winner of week 11 on The Block Tree Change
and taking out 10,000 bucks from Ford is...
Whoa.
It's Tom and Sarah Jane.
Yay!
The only reason we won this week was because of Tom.
No, it wasn't. It was, Tom.
No, babe. You did it all too.
Tommy used his genius-ness in week two
and said I'm going to do a mezzanine
and he got all of it planned and so it's all Tom.
Thank you, darl.
No, you're welcome. You deserve that.
And I'm not going to give you another compliment
for the next seven days.
Taking out their fifth win of the season
are Tom and Sarah Jane on 26 points.
Ryan and Rachel coming in second with 24 1/2.
Follow closely in third by Omar and Oz on 24.
Fourth place is house four on 22 1/2.
Last place this week goes to Sharon and Ankur on 19 1/2 points.
And with the overall points total of 297,
Tom and Sarah Jane secure an unbeatable position
at the top of the Domain superpower leaderboard
which means they will get to choose the all-important auction order.
It means we've won the Domain leaderboard too.
(GASPS)
(BABBLES)
I forgot about that!
Oh, my God.
All my little girl Block dreams are coming true.
Holy scheizenballs.
We've just got one more to get.
Whoo.
(LAUGHS)
Smell that. Congratulations.
The final 10,000 bucks from Ford in this competition
and tomorrow morning,
the final, beautiful, mature tree up the driveway.
Oh, yes. A tree! Yes, indeed.
I forgot about it. I did. I forgot about it.
I was looking at the cash.
Gang, next week, I don't have to tell you what it is, do I?
It's exteriors, isn't it?
Hold on to your knickers.
And the exteriors of your homes.
It's going to be fantastic, isn't it?
OK.
Let's talk budgets, shall we?
Oh, no. I'm scared.
Are you keen? No.
I am like dying.
Scotty, think big.
Add a zero.
Well, I spoke to SunCorp
and they want you to finish The Block in style.
Oh.
And they know, as I do, how tough the last two weeks have been.
So...
Are you ready?
I've never been this nervous.
I'm so nervous.
Scotty, give it to us. I've for 40 on standby.
Give it to us.
They're going to give each team...
..$90,000.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
What?!
How good's that?
Hey, baby.
Let's go!
Yes.
Hallelujah.
Now that has put a bit of a spring in your step, hasn't it?
Oh, yeah, baby.
Oh, my God. 90. That's amazing.
Were you expecting that? No.
All right, gang. One week to go!
Good luck. Good night.
Thank you!
Aah!
90,000!
We got 90 grand for landscape.
90 grand.
$90,000.
Cha-ching.
$90,000. Honestly, so generous.
Scotty and SunCorp.
Let's smash the landscaping out.
Let's get this vineyard looking absolutely Mickey Mouse.
So lucky.
# $90,000... #
Some more of that for the week.
We are leaving it out on the field and we've got 40,000m of it.
(LAUGHS)
Bring it on. Landscape.
Whoo.
MAN: We have three days left to do the biggest landscape
in the Block history.
VOICEOVER: The Aussie dream...
WOMAN: I'm just wishing we had another two weeks...
..a resort style country oasis...
This is the tree change.
..with everything...
Wow!
..you could ever wish for...
SCOTT: There's even a pony.
..in a final week, like no other.
(ROOSTER CROWS)
DAN: People just lose their minds in the last week.
RACHEL: I'm dealing with a lot right now.
That's exactly how they do it.
Standing on a dream court, looking at the dream view.
Who's about to slam dunk...
(ALL CHEER)
..the grandest gardens...
I feel it baby!
..and who...
SCOTT: What have we done here, guys?
..totally... MAN: What do we do?
..loses the plot?
MAN: Lift his pool out, get it out of here.
TOM: Because the whole things was going to cave in, apparently.
No empathy, no sympathy. Don't cry on this show anymore.
The greatest outdoors ever.
