SCOTT: The winner of week 11 on The Block Tree Change
and taking home 10,000 bucks from Ford is...
Oh!
Tom and Sarah-Jane!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
SCOTT: Last week, Tom and Sarah-Jane
won the shed and work-from-home space.
Their fifth win of the season.
TOM: I feel like we definitely deserved to win.
We took on a huge chunk of work for that week.
SCOTT: And wins just kept on coming for house one.
Our winner of the Domain Superpower Leaderboard this year
is Tom and Sarah-Jane.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Winner, winner, Domain winner.
We won by like 13, 14 points.
It wasn't like a bee's dick.
SCOTT: Now, this week, one thing was obvious.
Biggest landscape on Block history.
Wow!
Well, on ten acres,
landscape is going to sell your house, for sure.
Absolutely.
SCOTT: So, to get them over the line, Suncorp and I stepped in.
I'm going to give each team $90,000!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Oh, my gosh. I honestly did not expect that.
So generous.
Scotty and Suncorp.
SCOTT: Tonight, it's the last full day of work on The Block
and all our teams are racing to finish
the biggest backyards in TV history.
Let's go!
We're just a bit worried about how much we have to do.
(CHUCKLES)
SCOTT: Goodbyes are hard.
Oh!
You guys have taught us heaps of lessons.
We've learned so much, honestly.
SCOTT: But they can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
(LAUGHS)
Last night on The Block with the boys.
Boys, how we you feeling?
(CHEERING)
(DOG BARKS)
# This is the end
# Beautiful friend...
This is the second last day.
We've actually got, what, 28 hours left.
Boom.
SHARON: One day to go.
Amazing.
But yeah, just been pottering around,
trying to get everything done.
There's a crap-ton to do today.
It is going to be a stressful day.
But you know us, we always have come off the back foot
and just charged forward and find that balance and just keep smiling.
It is surreal that it's coming to an end.
But it's good.
Yeah. It's good. I'm ready.
I wish we had a couple more weeks, to be honest.
PRODUCER: Will you miss the weather?
No, I won't miss the weather. No way.
This place is disgusting.
(LAUGHS)
It's been so cold.
No, it's lovely.
Good sales pitch, Jen.
SCOTT: I can't believe we've almost finished another Block.
Time sure does fly when you're having fun.
And as hard as it's been,
it'll even be harder to say goodbye
to the biggest and best homes
and the awesome community we've forged
at the foot of the Macedon Ranges.
(DOG WHINES)
This is it, Frankie. The new Block.
Feels like just yesterday,
I first made the 40 minute trip up from Melbourne
to the Macedon Ranges
and found the 60 acres of land that would become this year's Block.
I split the land into six ten-acre sites
and trucked in houses from around the country
to sit on five of them.
# And this town ain't never going to be the same
# 'Cause I saddle up my horse...
SCOTT: I kept the original homestead that was on the property for myself.
Nobody had lived in it for over a quarter of a century
and it showed.
So, for the past 12 weeks,
I've been renovating my place alongside the contestants...
# Save a horse, ride a cowboy...
Give it one more. I think so.
SCOTT: ..with my build team
and my best mate and site manager, Frankie.
Together, we've created a stunning country homestead...
And don't forget my massive Stratco shed out the back
with four parking bays, heaps of storage for my tools,
a home gym, and of course my man cave.
Sorry, media room.
And we'll see more of the transformation later.
First, I want to show you something I'm really excited about.
Over the last few weeks,
I've been building Australia's first 3D printed building,
my pool cabana.
It all started back in week five with a solid foundation.
So, this is the Bio-x pod from AUSREO.
Effectively, it's a new sustainable pod design,
alternative to foam and raft slabs.
So, we're able to achieve a reduction in concrete,
a reduction in steel gauge.
SCOTT: Sustainability is what we're after here.
Exactly, exactly. Resilience.
So, it's quicker, less steel, and less concrete.
Exactly.
Ready to pour, Scotty. Just lay the mesh on.
Put the mesh on and we're ready to pour.
SCOTT: Once the slab was finished,
the unique wave form walls were poured in only 28 hours
and with incredible precision.
It's got the lot.
Energy efficient Aluplast doors and windows overlooking the pool,
a skillion roof, and built-in water tanks,
curved walls beautifully rendered thanks to the guys from Sto...
..and the wholesome Geostone Nepean polished concrete deck.
These things also help make the cabana resilient
to fire and extreme weather events
which has been a focus of Suncorp for the entire series.
Inside, there's a fireplace and all the creature comforts.
And in the kitchen, the ultimate indulgence.
How good is this, boys?
I don't know about the tap. It's probably a bit much.
(LAUGHTER)
Rose on tap in the pool cabana.
And chilled.
And cold. Yeah.
Good job, boys. Thanks, Scotty.
We're proud of this one. We are, we are.
(TICKING CLOCK)
PRODUCER: What's the vibe on the last day,
your last day at The Block?
Vibe on the last day of The Block?
('PEER GYNT SUITE NO 1, OP 46: MORNING MOOD' PLAYS)
Pardon me.
SCOTT: I feel you, SJ.
Everyone said, "We've finished!" We are so far from finished.
What have we got to go?
Painting, cleaning,
styling, pot-planting...
Gurneying. Gurneying.
Bin runs. Bin runs.
Love a bin run.
I'm going to miss doing bin runs.
PRODUCER: Said no one ever.
So much rubbish.
I'm over it.
There's so much to do, I don't even know where to start.
That's a metaphor for my life right there.
SCOTT: Looks like a bomb site now
but in 26 hours, house one's front yard
will include a big turning circle driveway
with lots of flowering shrubs and a water feature.
And out the back, they'll have a jungle gym for the kids,
a large deck leading to their spectacular inground pool,
plus a basketball court, veggie garden, horse paddock,
and a mini golf hole.
On top of this, all the contestants
also need to finish cladding their sheds before tools down.
But with so much to get done before tomorrow,
Sarah-Jane is feeling overwhelmed.
When there's too much to do, I get really frazzled
and I just don't know where to start and I just get really angry.
Do I start down at the game changer shipping container?
Do I start on the wraparound old deck?
Do I start at the back deck?
If you're worried, I'll ring Mick and I'll get more help.
You've got a bit of styling.
People are still pouring concrete today, Sarah-Jane.
I don't care about other people.
I tell you that all the time. I don't care.
And the garage was just such a shemozzle.
Like there was so much crap everywhere,
it was really giving me anxiety.
I was just like, just get all these boxes out.
So, I just had a moment.
Everyone's shed is full.
The plan today is finish the landscape and style,
and if you have time, fill the bin.
Each week, we've constantly been on the race against time.
Yeah.
You're just constantly running P racing to a deadline.
Days fly. So, time flies,
but then it also feels like week one was so long ago.
Our lives are about to change.
Our whole lives are about to change, Tom.
I remember that so vividly, day one.
Oh, my god. This is my moment.
SCOTT: Plummer, Tom, and social worker, Sarah-Jane,
came to us from Gladstone Park in Melbourne
and we're big fans of The Block.
I think we're unique
but at the same time, I think we're super relatable
and I think that's what people want to see.
Yeah, that's it.
Because that's what I want to see when I watch The Block.
I want to see a couple that wants to give it a crack,
that's going to work hard.
I remember being the first couple to arrive,
which was like, "Oh, crap!"
And then we stood on the stop and (BLEEP) ourselves.
Where is everybody?
SCOTT: They were allocated house one
in the all-important house decider challenge.
I don't mind it. It's quaint.
It's awesome.
SCOTT: They've since transformed this renovator's delight
into an amazing five bedroom home.
Quite the effort when you consider
what it looked like when they arrived.
Wowsers.
Jesus. Oh, my gosh!
Yeah, it looked like a bomb had gone off.
Smashed up kitchen, smashed up bathroom.
It was like, "Where are we?"
SCOTT: But they quickly got to work.
You need to get a plasterer from Hipages.
We didn't know anybody out here,
so yeah, Hipages has been really helpful for us.
Yeah. When I started my business,
they were really helpful, like helping fill in the diary,
helping build up like a good customer base.
Already signed you up.
There you go. Some jobs waiting. There you go.
There's your profile. There you go.
Spruced up your profile.
We found Benny, our plasterer.
We liked his work, he was easy-going,
and we just stuck with Benny for most of the way.
Got called from Tom through Hipages.
I went and come and helped him out.
Thought it was two days. That was it.
Three months. Still here.
TOM: Benny's worked in a lot of our winning rooms.
Never got any defects in any of his plasterwork,
so his hard work went un...
Went noticed.
(LAUGHS) Not unnoticed. Noticed.
The winner is Tom and Sarah-Jane!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
TOM: We picked house one.
Because in my opinion, it's got the best floorplan,
it's the furthest away from neighbours.
I think it's got the best view over everybody.
It's got the dam. Yeah, no one looks over us, we look over them.
SCOTT: But with their winning room having to be demoed
to make way for the week one bathroom,
there was no time to enjoy it.
Why would I want a tent?
Well, that's where we're sleeping.
No! No, no, no!
Slow, slow, slow!
Babe, I'm holding it. Slow!
It won't even fit.
I don't care. Make it fit, Tom!
The tent was better than the caravan.
I don't know.
It was all horrific.
SCOTT: Well, nobody said The Block would be glamorous.
These guys took it all in their stride.
Yeah, I've got water in my sock.
We knew that The Block was hard.
We've watched all seasons, haven't we?
SCOTT: They soon adapted to country living...
You're a natural.
I'm a natural! Keith said I'm a natural!
..and got stuck in.
How good's that?
Shout out to my parents who think that I'm useless on the tools.
SCOTT: And it didn't take long for the hard work to pay off.
# Oh, oh, oh...
SHAYNNA: Hello!
I love it. It's so beautifully done.
SCOTT: And with five room wins
and six challenge wins under their belt...
(CHEERING)
..they've scored more money...
Congratulations, Tom. Well done. Thanks, Mel.
Another ten K.
..more trees...
Keep it coming!
Yes! Like that! And then in the hole!
..and more gnomes than any other team.
It was a good day, wasn't it?
Yes, it was.
SCOTT: And they've still got a gnome up their sleeve,
which will no doubt come in handy for this week's judging.
The winner driving away in a brand new Ford.
TOM: Oh, mate.
From the minute Scotty said that there's a Ford Ranger up for grabs,
I'm like, I just thought to myself, "I'm going to win that car."
This could be your insurance policy
if auction date comes and you don't make anything,
like, "Well, (BLEEP), I still got a new car."
"I'm pretty stoked."
Last day of The Block.
Just keep working, love.
Power through.
What a rollercoaster of a day thus far
and we're only P I don't even know what the time is.
Oh! See?
(TICKING CLOCK)
(THUNDER)
(DOG WHINES)
# It's like can I get a connection
# Can I get, can I get a connection...
SCOTT: It's the last day of work on The Block
and teams are racing to finish their landscaping, shed cladding,
and the exterior of the houses.
# I can see it in my reflection
# Oh, can I get a connection...
Painting all day today.
Painting until 3:00
when we're going to start setting up all of the furniture.
But up until that, it's painting, painting, painting.
Doing what we can in this weather.
SCOTT: House two's front courtyard
will include garden beds lining the house
and a water feature near the entrance.
The shed will be clad with stones
and they're adding some timber arbours
which we decorated by the wisteria as it grows.
Their landscaping will also feature their vineyard game changer,
a massive deck surrounding their pool,
and they're even throwing in a flying fox for the kids.
To look around and see what we've done,
like, what everyone has done, we have built a community here.
With like every amenity under the sun.
PRODUCER: Can you remember sitting right here 12 weeks ago?
It was a Monday.
Did you have any idea what was about to happen?
Absolutely not.
We had absolutely no idea what we were in for.
No. None.
We thought we did.
PRODUCER: You guys weren't even meant to be here.
You right?
I can't believe we're about to meet Scotty Cam.
I know!
(SQUEALS)
How are you going?
How are you going, Scotty Cam?
In case you didn't get the memo,
Rachel and Ryan got the call to join The Block
after it already had started.
The house decider challenge was over...
These are new friends.
..and Joel and Elle from Bondi had bailed out,
leaving us in the lurch.
They have left the show.
Seriously? Seriously?
Gone. No way!
Joelle. Joelle.
Is it like French for goodbye or something?
SCOTT: And Rachel and Ryan inherited the house
that Joel and Elle had abandoned.
Wow. Have a look at this. Oh, my god.
We got the best house. PRODUCER: You did, didn't you?
We got the best house. We got the best house.
Wow.
# There's no place I'd rather...
That wasn't for anyone else. Like, that house was for us.
At least we've got a bedroom.
We're here and we're in, you know, a mud pit
but it's our mud pit and we love it.
SCOTT: 12 weeks on, that mud pit
has undergone an incredible transformation
with the finish line oh-so-close.
Less than 24 hours before we finish The Block.
That's so insane.
(TICKING CLOCK)
SCOTT: Over in house three, Ankur and Sharon are way behind.
Look at the state of the place. It's too late.
It's too late. We're probably not going to get it finished.
SCOTT: Due to their budget woes,
Ankur and Sharon will deliver a pared back landscape this week
with a pool and pergola in the front yard,
alfresco seating area out the back,
and their game changer market garden at the side of the house.
Even with the redesign, it's not gonna get finished,
so we're literally just trying to finish
the three elements that we've got
just to try and get it across the line for Sunday
and then they'll have something to try and auction off
come auction day,
but there's a lot of work to go.
SHARON: It's annoying how, like, we just never get an easy run.
I would have loved to have had a better experience.
It's not about winning the show.
Like, we don't actually P it's about the experience of the show
and I think that experience of the show
has been torturous for us.
You talked me into it and for some crazy reason,
with anxiety and stress, I've said yes.
SCOTT: Ex-Neighbours actor, Sharon, and Ankur, her accountant husband
entered The Block in a flash of colour and style.
SARAH-JANE: Oh, my god. Look at this.
(SINGING) # Lady in red...
Don't worry, I won't be looking after this after today. (LAUGHS)
(SQUEALS) We're here!
She was so bubbly and I thought, "Oh, my god."
"She's just going to bring the party to The Block."
SCOTT: And after the house decider challenge,
they picked house three.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
The most inexperienced people
choosing the biggest house on The Block.
Um, that did cross my mind.
We have to own that we were pretty naive coming into it,
but even if we weren't naive, like, you can't prepare for this stuff.
They thought they just had the best chance to pick the best house,
the biggest house.
I don't think they realised how hard that was going to be.
Holy crap.
Spend the next 12 weeks cleaning it.
# A saviour come my way...
Oh, you (BLEEP).
We're not trying to win,
we're just trying to (BLEEP) survive.
(BLEEP)
It was the biggest house.
That would be hard for anyone
and they have no trade experience,
so of course that's why it's been hard for them.
I suppose in hindsight, they probably agree
they should have just chosen... Chosen a different house.
Obviously, at different times, we wanted to go home.
Found out it was really, really tough.
Probably in week five, I was like, "Oh, my god."
"How are we going to make, like, another seven weeks of this?"
But we also need an attitude change from you guys as well.
There's people around you that aren't happy.
Tradesmen.
You made the comment, Ankur, to Sharon, "Don't worry, Sharon..."
With a lot of language involved as well.
"Seven more weeks of this nonsense"
"and we can get out of this hellhole."
Yeah. Quote unquote.
Mate, no one's keeping you here.
Yeah, I know. You can go.
You can go anytime you like. This is not compulsory.
I don't want to quit.
He doesn't want to quit.
We want to be here
but we've come across some really difficult challenges
that we're trying to navigate.
It is a (BLEEP) show if you don't have any trade experience.
There is no empathy, there is no help.
Nobody comes to save you or help you.
You've just got to figure it out.
Yeah, you should know that from the start, which is fine.
SCOTT: After all the low points,
there were plenty of high points too.
Ankur and Sharon!
Oh, my god!
That puts you guys the winners!
(CHEERING)
Well done.
SCOTT: What about that Ford Everest they won?
Sharon and Ankur.
We won a car!
Winning like and $80,000 car is quite insane.
SCOTT: Yes, winning the car was insane and so was their budget.
That's what they're over now. Yeah.
Over budget by 53,000, that's $53,000 in debt.
How did that happen? I think that...
That's outrageous.
You guys are tens of thousands of dollars over the red.
Yeah. Yeah.
I haven't done this since the Oslo, I'm cutting you guys off.
You're gone.
# Where is my mind...
PRODUCER: Would you do anything differently?
(CHUCKLES)
I would to do everything differently.
100%. I'd do everything differently.
Don't stand there and go, "House three",
and laugh and clap about it. Everything differently.
Like, pick a better team, bust balls from day dot. Like...
Manage the budget properly.
Everything different.
# Way out in the water, see it swimmin'...
(TICKING CLOCK)
SCOTT: With time against them,
this morning, house three's entire focus
has been on completing their landscape
and site manager, Aidan, has serious concerns
about the lack of progress on their shed.
There's not a sheet on anywhere. Yeah.
There's not a start been made anywhere.
Because it's not finished.
OK. Well, there hasn't been
much of a crack had on it though, has there?
Well, we don't have the corner fashions and the vertical things.
The vertical things were brought up here days ago.
So, they're there. But we don't have any of the brackets and so...
What brackets? The L brackets.
To connect them.
We haven't got a cavity batten on anywhere,
we haven't got a sheet on the back anywhere.
There's been stuff sitting here ready to go for quite a while.
It's kind of out of our hands. I could put down...
I don't think it's completely out of your hands.
We can finish wrapping the joint, we could have got cavity battens on
to start getting the cement sheet fine-texture cladding on the top.
There's lots of things that could be happening.
Yeah, it's all bitsy-piecey.
I don't think that there's been an effort put into the shed.
Like, we've almost given up, right? Not at all.
So, I basically conceded that the shed will not get done
just because even if we get materials right now,
it's not gonna happen.
Scaff is only coming down around the house today, like all of it.
The thing is like everything that we could have done, we've done,
especially within the house.
The stuff that didn't get done was due to the overarching builders
and them unfortunately not being able to keep up with the build.
So, I think you've definitely been disadvantaged from the scaffold.
Right? That's on us, right?
We hadn't been able to finish the roof, but in saying that,
house four's scaffold's only just come down as well.
Yeah. It's really easy to think
that it's a stitch-up, that it's just you, but it's not, right?
And it's hard when Tommy and Ryan
are probably streets ahead of everyone else and that's hard.
You know?
It's hard to see that
because obviously it is all taken into consideration
when judging and stuff comes around but it's not just that.
It's like pride in what we actually
are leaving this show with tomorrow morning.
Like I...
I don't feel comfortable having anybody walk through here,
the state of where we're at.
Inside's all good,
it's the outside of our place that just looks like a (BLEEP) show.
It doesn't sound like much,
but I've got quite a few labourers here today.
So, we'll probably put a big bin up here shortly
and we'll get a team of labourers
up here to help start cleaning up, yeah?
We start cleaning up, we'll start feeling a bit better about it.
OK. OK.
No, cheers. Alright, thank you.
Cheers, guys. Thanks.
Alright.
Huge last day for us. Come on.
Tomorrow we are going to present this house
in the best possible state we can given the circumstances
and we don't even care about what the judges think anymore
because at the end of the day,
we do have the best house on The Block. Everybody's said it.
Even the other contestants are like, "You guys have the best house."
So, we're going to keep going to the end.
# I'm pausing myself again
# Something in the orange tells me you're never coming home...
SCOTT: Coming up, final farewells to all.
I love you guys.
Oh, love you too.
You're really, really good people.
(LAUGHTER)
SCOTT: And later, Omar and Oz
light up their world-class game changer.
(LAUGHS)
(DOG BARKS)
SCOTT: On the final day of the biggest Block ever,
house four have a mammoth task ahead
in order to complete their landscape.
There's still so much to do, so we're just a bit worried
about how much we have to do.
Knock 'em all in.
We have to finish the massive deck outside the pavilion.
Finish the deck on the tiny house,
paint the tiny house,
paint all of the rails around the house,
clad the shed,
finish the landscaping, style the whole place.
# They want to get my gold on the ceiling...
I'll have to have a shower after this
before we start moving all the furniture.
I think we get changed after this, Jen.
I don't want to wreck all the furniture.
So, Anna came in to give us a hand for the big finish, the big push.
We needed an extra set of hands, so she's a great cleaner.
She came to help and she actually helped me plant
some little plants and trees outside the tiny house,
so that was really P it's just nice to have someone like help.
SCOTT: Inside Dylan and Jenny's game changer tiny house
will be a bedroom, bathroom and living area,
and outside, it'll have a deck and lots of lounge seating.
My hair keeps getting in my face.
The last 12 weeks have gone very quick,
but we feel like I've been here forever, so it's weird.
It's gone quick but it kind of hasn't.
Yeah. It's strange.
# Good, good, good, good to be alive right about now...
I'm Dylan. I'm 28 and I'm a builder.
I'm Jenny. I'm 25.
I'm an apprentice carpenter and he's my boss.
And we're from the Gold Coast!
Yew!
Excited!
Here we are. Here we are, we got on.
I was like, "Oh, my god." Random.
So surprised. Dream.
MAN: You're the first female tradie we've ever had on The Block.
I think that's awesome. I can't wait.
When we found out we were on The Block,
I thought that I'd be on the tools, like, every single day,
that Dylan would just be ripping in.
Jenny from The Block's on the tools.
Yew! (LAUGHS)
But because I had to style the house as well,
I didn't realise how much of my time that would take up.
Quick, quick, quick.
Oh, (BLEEP).
Do you care that I spent all our money on it?
(LAUGHS)
You're a weirdo.
But I did get on the tools every opportunity I had,
so I hope that the girls at home can see that
and want to give a trade a go
'cause it's awesome being a tradie lady.
SCOTT: They ripped into the house decider challenge...
We'll just bombed everything out, drop the ceiling.
..taking out second place.
And back then, there was one house in hot demand.
We want house four.
Number four is the best.
We want house four.
House four is definitely on the cards.
SCOTT: Dylan and Jenny...
And guess who bagged the most popular home?
Don't do it.
House four.
We chose house four, I guess...
We just had P as soon as we walked in, we had good vibes
and I wanted that one because it had the wraparound deck.
It was wide.
The pergola was high
and I could see the way that the extension slab
was getting formed up, which way it would face.
And the views from that spot,
we just absolutely loved as well, yeah.
SCOTT: The views might be great,
but at the moment, these guys need to focus on finishing.
House four are in a spot of bother at the moment.
We've got five and half hours left of power tool usage
for the entire Block, it's all finished,
and they've got too much to do.
The last few days, Jenny and Dylan have concentrated on the tiny house.
They've neglected all of the shed
and they've also neglected the decking,
and I'm not really sure whether they're going to finish or not.
I think they've just concentrated on the tiny house,
forgot about the house, and it might cost them
come the judging for landscapes on Sunday morning.
My hair.
Hey.
Oh!
Jenny tired.
It's been a big three months, doll.
(TICKING CLOCK)
# Sometimes all I think about is you...
Now, whilst you guys have been busy with the landscaping,
we've been around to every property installing a Husqvarna auto mower.
It is a fully autonomous robotic lawnmower,
so the way the mower works, it has full smart home integration.
Wow. OK? So, what that means
is you can actually have it onto your mobile device,
your mobile phone and you can set the schedule
and change the cutting height whenever you want.
Really? I do like mowing the lawns myself,
but I can now have a beer and watch the lawns get mowed.
You can. Absolutely.
# Baby I don't know, just why I love you so...
It is our last day, so let's enjoy it.
It is going to be a stressful day.
SCOTT: That's because Omar and Oz's landscaping plans are epic,
featuring a front garden and lawn,
a big deck leading to their 40-foot shipping container pool,
as well as a sauna, lagoon, and mini golf course,
and out the back is their game changer,
a full-size tennis and basketball court.
I've got Kara from Found Space
coming in today to install our sauna.
We've got Paul
from Sumo Strength coming in to drop off our gym equipment.
We've got the boys putting up the cladding on the Stratco shed
and then you've got Christian and his boys really pushing so hard
to get the main foundation and the style of our landscaping
on how it's all going to look.
How many plants all up, do you reckon, Christian?
Um... What were there?
There's, what, three, six, nine, there's 12 in a tray.
So, there's... Oh!
It'd be close to 1,000.
So, a lot of plants and yeah, that's kind of it.
PRODUCER: Do you think you're going to get it all done?
We believe.
Let's go, Jose!
Omar, you ready? Let's go!
Oz asked me if I wanted to do The Block with him.
I said yes but I genuinely didn't think we would be here.
Can't wait. Let's go!
Wow!
Suck it in, mate. (INHALES DEEPLY)
SCOTT: Well, picking these best mates from Western Sydney
to be on The Block was a no-brainer.
We are Middle Eastern.
Let's go!
We are Muslims.
We wanted to take this opportunity
to show that this is a multicultural country.
It's like we're getting married or something.
SCOTT: Last to arrive on site, the boys bolted to house five
to tackle the house decider challenge.
Up there. I'll run this time.
That first run up the hill,
we were exhausted 'cause it was a fair way.
But honestly, we had no idea what we were running towards.
This is crazy.
Definitely not have this here. Oh, no.
We're heading for it.
But I looked at Omar and I'm like, "Bro, where we do we start?"
"Where are we?" This is something big.
Oh, wow.
(LAUGHS)
For the first time, I actually blanked out on a building site.
Just push me up.
That 48 challenge was the most hardest thing that I ever did.
(WHISTLES)
SCOTT: And the struggle showed
with the boys bedroom coming in last place.
It's luxe but it is quite generic.
Neale called it a big mistake.
The first feedback that we got from the judges
was something that we never expected.
We got slammed and at that moment,
me and Omar were really upset about it.
SCOTT: Coming in last
meant they didn't get a pick of the houses.
They were left with the same house, number five,
and got to work on their week one bathroom.
We don't want to come last again, bro.
We had each other's back and he said to me and I said to him,
"Hey, if we're not going to take the judges feedback"
"and improve from it, we're not going to do well on this show."
And that's exactly what we did.
SCOTT: Boys were energised even while physically running on fumes.
For the first few weeks of The Block,
they were also doing Ramadan.
So, Ramadan is no eating after sunrise and break fast on sunset.
No water, no food.
So, it's a time for sacrificing
and actually realising how blessed we actually are
living in a country like Australia
where everything's literally at our doorstep.
Allahu Akbar.
Being the first Muslims on The Block is an honour.
To be able to represent our culture,
our religion and our people back home
is something that, you know, we thought about
and we are very happy that we are the ones to be the faces of it.
PRODUCER: I remember the first mass interview we did
and I asked you if the viewers were on the couch watching you,
what would they be saying about you?
"These jokers have no idea what they're in for."
(LAUGHTER)
"Hold on, Margaret."
"Come and have a look at this."
(LAUGHTER)
"We've got two wogs on the show."
(LAUGHTER)
"Oh, typical Lebbo builders."
PRODUCER: Now that the viewers have watched you for 12 weeks,
what would they be saying now?
"Oh, these wogs have come a very, very long way"
"and they have done us proud."
"You know what? They're Australians now."
(LAUGHTER)
Margaret's husband just sitting there going, "I told you so."
(LAUGHTER)
"You know what? More mosques in Bendigo."
(LAUGHTER)
We say yes.
(DOG BARKS)
# Yeah and we're never coming down
# Coming down, coming down, coming down...
SARAH-JANE: There's a dining area, there's a couch area,
there's a barstool area.
We've got areas coming out from our hoo-hahs.
I just want you to go with the blower,
just go around the edges, and with a broom,
just give like a last little sweep up.
PRODUCER: 12 weeks of all the hard work
and everything that you threw into it
and you don't even get that moment
to sort of stick around and enjoy it.
Do you wish you could?
I don't mind that we don't get to stick around and enjoy it.
Like, I feel like we've enjoyed it every P
like, I've enjoyed it every week.
Like, every time I finish a room, I have a moment with the room
and I'm like, "Yes, like..."
I've still enjoyed The Block being on The Block,
so I think you're at The Block
and you enjoy The Block for what it is.
Sticking around after the show has finished
isn't The Block anymore.
Yeah. The chaos is gone.
Yeah.
SCOTT: These guys certainly embraced the chaos.
Whatever, Tom. Why ask me? Alright, cool.
I'm explaining to you... Who gives a (BLEEP)?
Just tell me how it's going to go.
I don't even look at it like we've fought.
(LAUGHS) That's just how we are.
Oh, because you literally never take what I say on board.
No, but you don't know the measurements.
Well, don't bother telling me.
We're passionate.
We probably had like three or four serious fights.
I'm not having a bar of it. Catch you later.
What did I ever do?
We don't beat around the bush.
Your negativity has been suffocating me for the last five days,
like suffocating me.
If Tom's annoying me, I'm going to tell him right there and then.
Because you're looking like this.
No, I'm not. It's your face.
You look at me like this.
We're going to have it out.
Alright. Well, go find a new husband
if that's how you feel. See?
And then we're going to move on ten minutes later.
And then make out.
We're the ones that, like, blue the most with each other.
But we actually... People say we blue.
But it's not blueing. It's our love language.
We stay positive on The Block because we just fully comprehend
how much of a rare experience this is
and it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
And it's gonna have stressful moments.
Yeah.
Don't let the stress be the bane of your existence.
Have your emotion, let it out, move onto your next emotion.
Righto.
I love you. I'm sorry.
Bye.
No. (LAUGHS) Give me a proper kiss.
I love you. I'm sorry.
Hold my hand and pretend you love me.
I'm pretending.
(LAUGHS)
I mean, we laughed every single day.
(LAUGHTER)
Five more minutes!
Are you not entertained!
I've had an absolute ball.
I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
House one.
Entertainment (BLEEP) out of your life.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
The build isn't the only thing coming to an end.
It's also time to say goodbye to McCafe.
Tina, Tina, Tina! Hey, Ryan.
Thank you very much for all your help this year.
Really?
Absolutely loved the coffees.
I think they've saved the whole Block.
They've been the backbone of the whole Block.
Yeah.
These are for you!
Thanks, guys!
Thank you. Thank you very much.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS)
(LAUGHS)
The best barista! Yeah.
SCOTT: The best barista lovingly served up over 30,000 coffees
and that requires a lot of beans.
Oh, it's a big operation.
We supply all across Australia.
Some fun facts about McCafe -
they were established in Melbourne back in 1993.
# Informer. # (TRAM BELL)
# All that she wants...# (RADIO STATIC)
Another fun fact - this is Dan in 1993
about to embark on a very short-lived career
as a pro basketball player for the Orlando Magic.
Now, back to our regular program.
So we're literally gonna get one
that's just come freshly out of these machines?
Exactly. Fresh off the line into a bag and into your hands.
Here you go, Dan, can't get much fresher than that.
That's actually still warm - I can feel it.
# Well it's a Hungry Town Where people kiss...#
With all those beans for coffee, the grounds don't go to waste.
Let's get these earthworms going.
Scotty's plants look a little bit dead,
so I reckon in about a week's time they'll be nice and green,
they'll be standing upright.
Everyone should be doing this at home.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
# Are you still afraid? #
Over at house three,
Sharon is busy making some last-minute changes.
This is new. Sure is.
This is what it was originally supposed to be,
but we didn't have the stock.
So I'm popping it in now.
While Ankur is picking up some more paint.
I've come to pick up my house paint for my weatherboards.
You wanted to go a lighter colour, did you?
Yeah, definitely. Perfect.
So up here we have got a lot of our popular whites.
Something like that we can look at.
Yeah.
How do you think that sort of works in with your colouring?
I reckon that's great, to be honest.
There is a lock to finish for Sunday morning.
We need to clear everything out.
The media room still needs to be finished.
It needs to be finished.
Ah, deck actually needs to be finalised.
Painting needs to be finalised on the outdoor of the house.
We're doing a massive clean-up of the house, as well,
because essentially we're going to be handing the keys over.
I'll miss elements of The Block for sure.
I'll miss like a lot of people from The Block, as well.
But...I don't think I'll miss the total experience
of the three months of what this was.
Because it was insane!
Biggest house ever and we did it, Anks and I.
We're still doing it, but like,
there will be absolutely a time after this,
once I get a second to breathe, that I'll look and I'll go,
"I can't believe we did that and that was amazing,"
'cause it definitely... there were definitely aspects of it
that were amazing for sure.
But right now, I'm still in the thick of it.
# If you leave today, I'll just stare at the way
# The orange touches all things around. #
Do you think Anks and Shaz had a harder time on The Block?
I think Sharon and Anks made it harder,
I don't think they had a harder time.
I think everyone had their fair share of ups and downs.
It's just how you recover from each hard moment.
If you do it quick, you get over it and enjoy good times.
If you dwell on it, you're gonna have an awful time.
And to be honest, I think they're probably the only couple
that can't wait to get out of here.
I have had numerous chats with Shaz.
They started off very supporting and listening.
Then it kind of got to a point where I was like,
"Babe, you've got to stop crying. Get angry, or get...
"Or like fight back in some way.
"Or if you think the whole system's against you,
"go back, you know?"
I think Shaz just fell into this bubble of negativity
and she couldn't get out of it.
100 percent.

# Play that funky music, white boy
# Play that funky music right
# Lay down the boogie
# And play that funky music 'till you die. #
Up at house four,
time's running short, and Dylan and Jenny's landscaper, Inge,
is running out of patience.
All this has got to get finished.
I've got all these plants to bring,
I've got all the potting mix to bring down.
I've got your whole front garden to still do.
So do you want me to stop the front garden to do the screens?
What would you like...
Well why didn't we just get an extra set of hands on to do that?
I've got as many people as I...
I've told you from day one I don't have the crew to do this,
I don't have the time to do this,
and I'm already busting a gut as it is.
You know what I mean?
Dylan and Jenny's backyard will feature a multi-level space.
The bottom tier will include their pool surrounded by lawn,
the top tier will house their beehives and veggie garden.
And their outdoor deck will feature a spa, dining area, and pizza oven.
All the stickers have gotta come off,
all that furniture's gotta get made.
Cushions have got to get put on.
Is Jen gonna do that all tonight?
Are you going to be working all night, darl?
I've got a big deck to lay.
No, I know!
Everyone's got a lot to do. Yeah.
So I've got...I've got priorities, and then I have low priorities.
That for me is a priority,
but I have the garden to finish first
and the front garden to finish first,
and if I have time, that.
I'm not here tomorrow morning.
And guys, I don't want you to like...
You've gotta understand, I'm not trying to be...
Oh, no, no, no, I fully understand. ..a dog about it.
Oh, no, no, no, no. I've just got so much...
You know, we all have so much to do. Yeah.
OK?
Oh, there is honestly probably two weeks worth of stuff
to get done in 24 hours.
We'll be pushing to the very last minute.
And this is nothing new to Jenny.
Over the course of The Block,
she's toughened up and become someone you don't want to mess with.
I don't know how you guys do it, I don't get it.
'Cause we...'cause we work as hard as you guys, too.
But you don't though.
That pissed me off, yeah.
I just feel (BLEEP) pissed off, to be honest.
I do, too.
I just don't want it to get to the end and I go,
"Oh, we've played fair."
Then we come to auction and go,
"I wish we just did it because everyone else did."
I feel like I'm gonna head-butt someone in a minute.
OH!
I feel like I've definitely grown as a person.
Like, it's just, it's made me like tougher, 'cause you have to be,
and like better at styling,
just better at I guess thinking about things quicker on the spot.
Yeah, just better at life. (LAUGHS)
# Am I ready?
Yeah. Don't give up.
We just don't give up on things.
So, just...we just kept going.
Wake up on a Monday and get it done.
I won't stop 'till we drop. (LAUGHS) Yeah.
No, we've always wanted to do The Block
and we thought, like, we know it's hard,
we didn't think it would be this hard.
No way.
If you're watching on TV and you don't think it's tough,
well you can turn it off, because it is.
(LAUGHS)
Are you guys proud of each other?
Oh, so proud. Yeah, super proud.
Love ya. Love you, too.
# But I'm ready. #
(CLOCK TICKING)
(PLOP)
Over at house three,
and after a not so gentle prod from Aidan,
Ankur and Sharon's builder Liam is making a reluctant start
on their shed cladding.
Gonna spend 10 minutes getting the sheets on,
so there you are, there's your sheets.
That's all we can do, and the argument all the time is,
"Oh, you haven't even started."
Like, why start?
I can't do the corners properly 'cause we don't have the flashings.
Ah, Liam is saying that there's no flashings around for their shed
which there are - we're looking at some here
and the pile over there behind us.
Liam probably needs to have another look,
or just not even pretend he's trying to start it.
(DARK MUSIC)
And more bad news.
16 hours to go and their chippie Scotty is bailing.
Yep, sweet. Thanks, mate.
No worries, done.
Awesome.
What's the occasion? What's with the selfie?
Scott's gonna leave. Scott's leaving.
The big dog's outta here.
We'll miss seeing you around here.
It's the last time I think I'll ever be on The Block.
You'll be back.
I don't think I will be.
(LAUGHTER)
It was quite indicative of the whole thing.
Like it's our last day on the show, we have so much work to do,
and you've gone at 4:30.
Just left us.
And said, "Oh, didn't even need to be here on a Saturday."
It's the last day of The Block... Yeah, I don't know.
'Cause it's like, alright, cool, you don't want to be here, see ya,
we've got to crack on.
Good luck for the rest of it.
That's nice, isn't it? While we're still killing ourselves.
That's a symbol, isn't it?
It's a life lesson that I've had to learn here a lot.
It's been a sad kind of experience in that regard
not having that support with our building team.
(SOFT MUSIC)
(CLOCK TICKING)
(PLOP)
Meanwhile, over at house five, some big ticket items have arrived -
a massive pizza oven and their sauna.
That's magnificent.
Space it out? What do you reckon?
I reckon it's beautiful right there.
Good work, team.
Danny boy.
But things didn't always run as smoothly for the boys
from Western Sydney.
Oz and I, we probably had more ups and downs than anyone on the show.
We've got no tiler, bro.
My tiler had COVID.
(LAUGHS)
Where do we go now to get a tiler?
Did you get shut down twice today already?
Yeah, we did.
So then who said start working?
No one's working in this house 'till 9 AM tomorrow.
We got shut down, and while we were shut down, we got shut down again.
(LAUGHS)
But, no matter how bad things got,
these guys always kept a winning attitude.
Roll with the punches, baby.
Just bang, bang, bang. Go, go, go, speed it up, speed it up.
This time yesterday you were in a world of pain.
Have positive people around you, think positive,
keep fighting.
It gets done.
You definitely have to just get over things and move onto the next point.
It's pretty much simple - you learn to forgive and forget
and then move on.
Just get over it. That's it.
We had our waterproofing getting done, it failed,
you had to do it again, we still smiled,
we push forward. It is what it is, man.
# All my troubles on a burning pile
(LAUGHS)
# All lit up and I start to smile. #
When (BLEEP) does hit the fan I feel as though we really push each other
and we really work well.
Couldn't do it without it, to be honest.
And vice versa. Sounds good.
# Let me love you. #
Looking forward to finishing.
But I'm gonna miss it.
We're nearly there.
The wooden bench seat goes under the arbour.
No, that goes on the pontoon.
Like, the...the curved...
Yeah?
..bench seat can go on the pontoon.
It can go on the what?
The pontoon!
Oh, the pontoon. OK.
I'll kill him dead.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Over it.
With only hours left to go,
Domain is the only app where you can see
how all their hard work has paid off with the latest listings.
The Domain listings look unbelievable.
Oh, they got it!
It just says house one's the best. Oh!
Oh, that Domain.
Lie again. They get it right every time!
If I'm gonna rate them in order of how good they look,
house two looks the best.
(CLOCK TICKS)
# Snapping one, two
# Where are you?
# You're still in my heart. #
With only 15 hours to go,
the boys in house five are in a world of pain, literally.
What is left to be done?
Saturday?
(LAUGHS) Cramp.
Sorry, guys, you just got interrupted
because Omar's got a cramp.
I told him to stretch before we did landscaping.
He didn't listen to me.
Jeeeesus, that's bad.
That's not the cramp.
I know, I know, I know, but you just gotta go like that.
Hold it up, hold it up.
Wow.
Coming up,
Sarah-Jane cranks out a Block farewell dance.
(SINGS ALONG) # In yo' face
# You get SPRUNG. # (LAUGHTER)
And let there be light.
The boys go totally off-grid.
Are you ready? Let's do it.
This is a game changer, baby. You ready?
Ha-ha!
Let the dream happen on this court!
Woo!
We're officially off-grid.

(MUSIC BUILDS)
# The hills are alive
# With the sound of music. #
Rachel and Ryan started The Block late
and were confident they had the reno skills to make a big impact.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Ryan's a plumber, we have a renovations business,
so we do have a fair idea of what's going on.
Perfect.
If there was gonna be any room
that that we would want to kick off The Block with,
it would definitely be bathroom.
It would be the perfect story, right, if we come out on top
and we started late.
But the judges hit them with a few hard truths.
I have to be honest.
To me it doesn't speak to country at all.
They weren't privy to the conversation we were giving to them
of the originality of the house that they're in.
The real concern is that the room doesn't do much justice
to the heritage of the home.
# Let's be revolutionary. #
Everyone keeps telling us, "Be country, be country, be country."
Look out your window, we're in the country.
If we ever get a seven again, I'm gonna flip that board.
(LAUGHS)
While their execution was always outstanding,
they failed to nail the country brief.
They're obviously doing this modern take on country which is fine
but don't take it any more contemporary than it is.
What more would they like?
A horse going through our house?
I'm not sure.
(HORSE WHINNIES)
Then week three, the wheels started falling off the bus.
ARGH!
I feel like we have put a lot of effort and we are trying to listen
and we're trying to be respectful
and we're trying to take the advice from all these amazing people
and we're really trying.
And that was a bit of a breaking point.
Come here.
(CRIES) I just want to go home.
No, no, no. It's alright. It's alright.
Don't worry about that, bub, it's alright.
I'm just over it.
Like I just feel like we just... (SNIFFS)
(GENTLE MUSIC)
I know that we are overbudget, it's OK.
We'll still do a good job, bub.
You're doing a great job.
Despite the tears and soul-searching, the judges were not impressed again.
To me it has no charm and it has no personality
and I think that's a wicked waste.
If you've got to respect the heritage of this house,
what you've been given.
And that I will talk about that every week if they don't do it.
And that will always loose them points from me.
But, they never gave up.
We've got to think bigger.
Think about just no limitations whatsoever.
I'm excited!
(BLEEP) I'm excited!
Sorry.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Then there was kitchen week and they came last.
I hate saying this, it is a kitchen without a soul.
This doesn't feel welcoming.
It doesn't sell the dream to me.
There's no soul here.
(SIGHS) Mm.
# Say what you will. #
Despite the pummelling,
Rachel was back on her feet like a punch-drunk boxer.
I hit rock bottom and I was just able to pull myself out of it.
# Every time you cry, save up all your tears
# I will be your rainbow when they disappear. #
And I thought, like, what am I doing?
Girl, you're a 10. Go for the 10s.
So we went for the 10s.
10, 10, 10.
I'm just gonna call randomly.
I might just put it on repeat.
10, 10, 10!
Rachel's obsession with 10s paid off
earning them two 10s for their first room win in living and dining week.
Ha-ha!
Yes! They've done it!
They have put home, personality, and warmth into this place.
It's Rachel and Ryan!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS)
We got the 10.
Awesome, guys.
That's 20 grand.
Rachel and Ryan, congratulations, your first win on The Block!
Well done. Thank you.
Thank you, Scotty.
Took a while, but they got there.
Say what? Two 10s.
We got the W.
Well done.
Then they tied with their buddies Tom and Sarah-Jane
for the second room win - week 10, bedroom and redo room.
It's the first - it's a tie.
Yes!
(LAUGHTER)
I wish I had it enjoyed the first few weeks more.
But, I also think that the fact that I had such a hard time
the first few weeks made me appreciate the last ones.
100 percent that did.
# But if I could have one last time with you
It is by far the most insane, hardest,
just absolute intense thing you could ever do,
but it is so unbelievably rewarding.
# La-la, la-la, la, la, la
What is your most memorable moment on The Block, Ryan?
Oh, 100 percent when our kids came two weeks ago.
# La-la, la-la, la, la, la. #
I just can't, I can't stop thinking about that time
when those doors opened and my two girls ran out.
That was so special.
(LAUGHS)
Where's those tissues at?
Nah, I'm good.
But that was awesome seeing them, yep.
I'm happy.
I'm never not happy.
And if my wife's happy, I'm even happier.
Woo!
There she is.
He is so determined and will trust me completely.
It's taught me that us as a team
work really, really, really well together.
I feel like we can do anything.
Do we want to do anything? No.
I want to just lay down and do nothing.
I feel like... For a solid year.
I feel like I can climb Mount Everest in my undies.
(LAUGHS)
Oh, my god. Come here, darl.
Love you.
You've done so well. Love you, too.
# And I'd pay the highest price. #
Boys!
Just here returning my old Kennards Hire extension!
That's where that was. Yeah.
Returning everything. Good, mate.
It's the last full day of work on The Block,
and it's gonna be a very late one.
How are ya, mate. Good, mate.
Is that ours?
That is yours.
So Omar has come to the Kennards shed to pick up the lighting system.
And that on button there. Yep.
You just simply want you press it. Push that on.
Give it a sec - it will take a while to warm up.
It'll start itself. It's very easy, very straightforward to use.
Yep.
While the Blockheads were beavering away on their houses for 12 weeks,
I was doing the same at my joint, creating a sensational country home.
# Love grows where my rosemary goes
# And nobody knows like me. #
And occasionally, I'd let the contestants loose
to check out my place to see how it's really done.
Welcome to the best house on The Block.
(CHUCKLES)
Woo! Love this.
Oh, candles! Romantic!
Very nice. Sexy.
Oh, what?
That is so different.
It's a cool little room,
but I don't walk in here and I'm blown away.
What number would you give, honestly? In all honesty.
Um...out of 10 I'd probably give it a four.
Oh!
(LAUGHTER)
That's a bit savage, Tom.
Let's cut to someone with better taste.
This is like absolutely my style out of Scotty Cam's stuff.
I love this.
Oh! Oh, my god!
We've got the same tiles. Wow.
No, Scotty. Is he kidding?
We just bought this.
That's a V-ZUG Refesh Butler.
It sure is, boys, and it's amazing.
You put your dirty clothes inside and it will steam clean them,
dry them, and then they're good to go.
In a bathroom.
I've never seen this before.
That's very nice.
In a sense, Scotty's been a chippie for so long.
He's actually a builder, so he knows style, he knows architecture.
He has a sense. He did a magnificent job.
Over the past 12 weeks,
my joint has been the meeting place for winners and grinners dinners
and Friday night drinks.
Oh, here you go. Lamb!
Oh!
Yay.
So, as the show host, builder, entertainer, and cook,
I had to make sure my place was decked out
with the best Winning Appliances.
Oh, this is fantastic.
Isn't it wonderful?
It's a hybrid fire grill.
Meaning gas, charcoal, wood.
I'm gonna whack one of these in my backyard.
Perfect.
Oh, ho, ho! Please!
Spicy Mexican chicken.
Tuesdays and Fridays are awesome.
The fact that we get to catch up with each other,
and it's always over a dinner.
Oh! That looks stunning, man.
We just have a laugh. We have a laugh.
We all just have such a laugh.
(LAUGHTER)
This is beautiful.
Well done, Scotty!
The Block family is real.
Like you become so close to people so quickly.
It's such a close, intense atmosphere.
First impressions they were all legends,
and then after 12 weeks later we're just very close friends,
which is good. Yeah.
The best part about this experience for us has been them.
So I think we'll definitely continue the friendships going forward
which is great.
It's minus 1 outside, we're in my half-built living room
having a dinner party!
Why not.
Now to me, that is The Block.
Yeah.
We're gonna miss the people first and foremost.
You dead set become this little family.
You actually genuinely love all these people.
Come sit down, I'll give you a bit of lamb.
If you're lucky.

It's the last full day on The Block,
almost time to head back to the real world.
Ah, here they are. G'day, lads!
Legends.
What's going on? Oh, getting there.
Final few touches.
Just admiring the landscape.
That looks beautiful.
It's coming out really nice.
('Strong' by London Grammar)
this would have to be our favourite time of The Block always.
What, leaving us?
It's time to say goodbye. Yeah.
You guys have taught us so much.
Honestly. And for that Oz and I say thank you.
Every day.
Yeah, you guys are here.
Not to shut us down,
to always improve and to make us charge forwards.
We haven't had too many ups and downs.
Nah.
Whenever we have said something you've just accepted it
which has been good.
You guys have taught us heaps which is good.
We've learnt so much, honestly.
And thanks a lot.
Nah, Keith and Dan, ah, have been unreal to be honest.
Um, yes, we did clash, not see eye-to-eye a couple of times.
Um, but with Oz and I,
we literally explain our feelings then and there,
we learn to forgive and forget.
There's nothing...There's no hate, there's no nothing.
Sorry to stop you from working.
You know what we're here for.
To say goodbye. Yeah.
Aw.
That's weird.
It's a sad moment, it's an exciting moment.
It is. That's crazy.
Oh, my god, it's weird, actually.
I love you guys.
Aw, love you, too.
You're really, really good people.
I reckon you're the most positive couple we've ever had.
Really?
Even when the chips are down, Mr Positive is always happy.
Even when I stormed off that one time?
Nah, it's great.
You don't want be involved with politics,
you don't want to bag anybody, you don't want to blame anybody.
You just get on and do the job.
Yeah, saying goodbye to Keith and Dan is sad,
but we'll see them again.
We'll invite them up to the Goldie.
They're legends. They're cool.
You guys are sensational people.
And very good renovators, too.
We're going to miss you guys.
And fantastic contestants. We've had a great time.
We've had a great time with you guys.
And come off the bench. Yeah!
You weren't even supposed to be here.
(LAUGHTER)
And you've just gone bang.
Come off the bench, I know.
Well done, guys.
Thanks a lot, guys. Barracking for you guys.
Mwah!
It'd be good to catch up outside of this for a beer.
See ya. It'll happen. Tuesday night. Tuesday night.
(LAUGHTER)
Thank you.
So we'll see you tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(LAUGHTER)
They are actually two just awesome guys.
Yeah.
Two of my favourite people on The Block.
They're fantastic.
So, you know, it was sad to say goodbye.
So sad. Yeah.
Thank you for your support.
And we know that you guys are always looking out for us,
even though we didn't know that at the time.
Yeah.
You know, it's been a great experience
and we're really grateful for your support and help.
Awesome. Great to meet you both.
See you. Thank you.
That was really sad. Huh?
That was really sad.
I'm stoked, genuinely thrilled.
Yeah, we just kind of enjoyed it and said our farewells to everybody
that's worked so hard with us.
Test out the new speakers.
Sarah-Jane had a bit of a boogie.
# I like big butts an' I can not lie
# You otha brothas can't deny
# That when a girl walks in wit' a itty bitty waist
(SINGS ALONG) # An' a round thing in yo' face
# You get SPRUNG
# Want to pull up tough, cause you notice that butt was STUFFED
(LAUGHTER)
# Deep in the jeans she's wearin'
# I'm hooked and I cannot stop starin'
Yes!
(APPLAUSE)
# I want to get wit' ya. # Wow-wee.
Sensational!
Keith, you go in there.
No, you're up first, mate.
I wanna see you.
(LAUGHTER)
# Ooh, rumpled smooth skin
(FADES) # You say you want to get in ma Benz? #
Wow!
It's a tune, guys, it's a tune.
I'm gonna miss Keith and Dan.
(SOFTLY) It's OK. I'm still here.
They're good blokes.
And they've been so fun to work with.
The issue we've got, right,
water and electricity don't really work together.
What if you forget to turn it off?
Well you're a (BLEEP), aren't ya?
(LAUGHS) It's true.
(LAUGHS) Oh... (BLEEP)
We all know that I love Keith.
Bring it in.
God, Tommy.
Keith and I have always had, I don't know, good banter.
A special bond.
I love you, Keith. I like you too, buddy.
Let's keep it that way, huh? Yep.
So we've got a good friendship.
No surprises there.
Quickest way to a foreman's heart is a good work ethic
and a can-do attitude.
I'll work all night, I'm fine with that.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
I already knew that Tom was the hardest worker.
Like I was saying to everybody when we first signed up.
I've got a Tom.
Like I'm not worried, I have a Tom.
Tom was also one of the best painters on The Block
with the help of Oldfields.
You're a legend.
So we've got some pro series brushes in there.
Don't give these to anyone else.
No, Mum's the word.
Like a little kid at Christmas.
Good quality products help the end finish.
It does.
And mate... This is it.
They're beautiful.
And these, mate, I'm ready happy with these.
And they hold a lot of paint, too.
They do.
It's what The Block is all about.
Just getting it done.
Yep, and Tom was big on forward planning.
Eight weeks ago choosing PGH bricks for his landscaping.
It all comes down to what we can use as pavers.
Using that as um, a retaining wall or feature wall sort of brick,
which is cool.
(CROW CAWS)
Every year, we give a special award. Oh, yeah.
To a certain person.
It's me, isn't it.
It's been really overachieved for the year.
Is that correct? Yep.
I'm ready.
Well basically, is an award for the best contestant.
OK.
Contestants.
And it goes to...
Tommy! Tommy!
Ah! (LAUGHTER)
Thanks, guys.
Mate, you've been the hardest worker on The Block.
Oh, thanks.
Everyone has worked hard, but...
They've got you a little foreman one.
Aw, that's sick.
At the start of the show, I said to Keith,
"I really want your jacket at the end of this.
"I want you to give me your jacket."
A little foreman jacket.
And I didn't know that they do that little prize at the end of the show.
You're very, very good at what you do, mate.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
The other thing is, mate, I bloody love ya.
You're a ripper.
Aw! (LAUGHS)
Oh!
The best on The Block.
It was a good moment.
And Tom won it.
You can thank me for bringing him here. You're welcome.
(LAUGHTER)
I loved Dan, I love his laugh.
Yeah. He does...he flips his lip in.
(IMITATES DAN'S LAUGH)
(LAUGHS)
(LAUGHTER)
(IMITATES DAN'S LAUGH)
(LAUGHS)
Ah! That's funny.

# Good bye! #
Mate, RedEarth they've literally, um, taken us off-grid.
And once we went off-grid, we turn on the light
for that court.
Are you ready? Let's do it.
This is our game changer, baby.
You ready?
(MUSIC: '2001: A Space Odyssey' THEME)
Ah! Let the dream happen on this court!
Woo!
We're officially off-grid, baby!
(MUSIC CONTINUES) Look at that.
That's sensational.
Like me walking out and watching Omar playing footy on a night game
then the lights just turn on.
It was amazing.
(MUSIC BUILDS)
(GROANS)
Pretty relaxed.
(MUSIC ENDS)
Excuse yourself, babe.
For the rest of the evening
we really just did like nit-picking, rubbish runs.
Just making sure nothing was out when the judges
walked through the sites, you know,
things that were supposed to be on show.
We've done the majority of it.
We unfortunately ran out of boards.
But we've laid what was here for us, so I'm stoked with that.
Yeah.
It's so crazy, I can't believe it.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Crazy.
So we still need to finish off painting
that Rach is doing now.
I'm starting the tidy up, the landscapers are still going.
And we still need to plant
probably 100-seomething plants in the courtyard.
We've had fun.
We've all had fun.
We'll get it done. Yep.
And not only will we get it done, we'll win.
Last night on The Block with the boys.
Boys, how are we feeling?
(CHEERS)
Woo!
What's left tonight is literally two days full of work.
There is so much to do
and all team staying behind to help us get it done.
# I hate to watch you go. #
A lot of the other houses have their whole team with them tonight.
You must be sitting at your house going...
This is the thing I said to Anks... I said to Anks...
That's why we freak out.
..and it's been a lonely experience.
Like, those long Saturday nights when you're up all night
and you're by yourself
and you're doing stuff you don't know how to do.
Only gonna sleep like 20 minutes.
So tonight, my whole night, even though I wanted to avoid it,
is un-flatpacking Freedom furniture.
(LOW MUSIC)
Before tools down,
I was walking around with my iPhone torch trying to style,
trying to find all my stuff.
And because we ran out of decking for our deck
we didn't lay two slats of decking near the door.
And obviously I couldn't see.
And I just stepped straight down into nothing.
That's alright. (SNIFFS)
Yeah.
(TUMBLES) AH!
Dyl! (CRIES)
DYLAN: Hey!
I landed... I've landed straight on the...
(SOBS)
Where?
Oh. Oh!
Baby, baby. Hey.
(CRIES) Oh! Oh!
It really hurts. How'd you do...
(CRIES)
Ow! Jen.
It really hurts.
(GRIMACES)
(SOBS) It really hurts.
Jenny.
It's the last one. (ALL CHEER)
VOICEOVER: You've never, ever, see The Block quite like this.
All of this is magic.
Tomorrow, the grand final reveals.
Outdoor living flies off the scale. (CHEERING)
The greatest outdoors ever...
MAN: They've created a resort.
Will leave you... SCOTT: Gobsmacked.
WOMAN: This is the dream.
MAN: This is the dream, but made real.
Then Sunday,
the grand finale auction Australia's been waiting for.
It all starts tomorrow...
