Transcript
00:00:00Previously on Dream Home, our judges were floored by the best reveals yet.
00:00:09This is a yes from me.
00:00:12As we headed into a fiery judgment day.
00:00:16With couples hungry to stop Taylor and Ellie's dream run.
00:00:20Tensions have been high again.
00:00:23It was a massive night of judging.
00:00:26You absolutely nailed it.
00:00:28With Lara and Peter.
00:00:30What about you Simon?
00:00:31A 10 out of 10.
00:00:33Winning the night and settling a score with Taylor and Ellie.
00:00:38Winner winner chicken dinner.
00:00:40Not expecting that tonight.
00:00:42And tonight, Hannah and Johnny.
00:00:45Oh my god.
00:00:48And the boys.
00:00:49Oh jeez.
00:00:51Weren't expecting this either.
00:00:54Then we are all going to Sydney.
00:00:57Yeah.
00:01:00But.
00:01:01A massive door opera.
00:01:03Welcome to Punchy.
00:01:04Hello.
00:01:05Is this the worst house in Sydney?
00:01:08There's like dirt coming in from the vents.
00:01:10Maybe Australia.
00:01:12Oh my gosh.
00:01:13What is that?
00:01:15There's something in that toilet that has been there for a very long time.
00:01:21This is Dream Home.
00:01:26Don't know where we are.
00:01:30In Brisbane's Coorparoo,
00:01:32Hannah and Johnny wanted to renovate their 1951 run down Queenslander
00:01:37into the Palm Springs home of their dreams.
00:01:41At the moment we don't have any space.
00:01:44Really the dining room is filled with baby stuff.
00:01:47Two of everything.
00:01:49We've tidied this place up as much as we can.
00:01:53But we can't afford to paint it.
00:01:54We can't afford to just do the bare necessities to stay in it.
00:01:59Every single day it's just hard.
00:02:03Right now this is a house.
00:02:05But it's not our home because it's not fit for our family.
00:02:09At the end of the day what I'm clinging to when I miss my babies
00:02:13is I'm just going to be like we're doing this for them.
00:02:18And after three weeks of hard work,
00:02:22the cramped dated house started to become a home fit for a family.
00:02:28What the hell?
00:02:29And the first half of the home was revealed.
00:02:34What?
00:02:35This is so pretty.
00:02:37Johnny, we got the fireplace.
00:02:40Wow.
00:02:41Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
00:02:46This is incredible.
00:02:51Oh, my God.
00:02:53What the actual?
00:02:56They have knocked it out of the park.
00:02:58This is, I mean.
00:03:00Matt, you don't understand.
00:03:02They have literally changed our lives.
00:03:10Double its previous size,
00:03:12the house is poles apart from the three-bedroom, one-bathroom
00:03:16old Queenslander that it was.
00:03:19And now Hannah and Johnny have two stories
00:03:22with a massive master bedroom suite with en suite and walk-in robe,
00:03:27two additional bedrooms including a nursery for the twins,
00:03:31two more bathrooms and a huge kitchen, dining and living room,
00:03:37plus a balcony.
00:03:39Oh, the day has arrived.
00:03:43And now Hannah and Johnny get to see the complete transformation.
00:03:48You're about to see your dream home.
00:03:50You're seconds away from it.
00:03:52Like, this is going to be the second greatest day of our lives,
00:03:54second to the twins being born.
00:03:56But it's just this exciting moment of change knowing that our lives
00:03:59are never, ever, ever going to be the same ever again.
00:04:03That's so crazy.
00:04:05This is so nuts.
00:04:07Those aren't my hands, Johnny.
00:04:10They're too small to be Chris's.
00:04:13All good.
00:04:14All right, turn this way.
00:04:16Follow me.
00:04:17And around about here, you come with me there
00:04:20and just turn around there,
00:04:22standing in front of your dream home.
00:04:26Are you ready?
00:04:27No.
00:04:28No.
00:04:29Not at all.
00:04:30In three, I want you to take the blindfolds off.
00:04:33One, two, three.
00:04:38What the ****?
00:04:41Oh, my God.
00:04:44What the hell?
00:04:50This is not our house.
00:04:53The door.
00:04:54Look at the door.
00:04:59This is your home.
00:05:05It's too much.
00:05:06Somebody can't actually handle all of the shock and awe
00:05:09that comes with this experience.
00:05:11I love it.
00:05:12I love it.
00:05:13It's Palm Springs, baby.
00:05:14We're in Coorparoo.
00:05:16They literally have just absolutely nailed it.
00:05:18Oh, my God.
00:05:20This is stunning.
00:05:21Shall we step into Palm Springs?
00:05:22Yeah.
00:05:23Let's go.
00:05:25Are you ready?
00:05:26Yes, yes.
00:05:27Let's do it.
00:05:28Your dream home.
00:05:31What?
00:05:34Perfect.
00:05:40That is a bold thing to do.
00:05:42That is a risky thing to do, but I love it.
00:05:45Bricks inside, right?
00:05:47We've only just started.
00:05:48Let's keep on moving and see what's next.
00:05:51Come on.
00:05:55Step on in.
00:05:57Oh, my God.
00:05:58What?
00:05:59Look at this.
00:06:00Look at this.
00:06:01What in the hell?
00:06:03Hey.
00:06:08This is something else.
00:06:10That is amazing.
00:06:11This is stylish.
00:06:13It is so...
00:06:14This is sexy as well.
00:06:15...chic, yeah.
00:06:16And this is what you're having friends around.
00:06:18This is the bathroom they'll walk into and go...
00:06:20Oh, my girls are going to love this little powder room.
00:06:25Let's go up your staircase.
00:06:27This is the artwork they're talking about?
00:06:30Oh, what?
00:06:31That's literally what our dog looks like.
00:06:36Our balcony.
00:06:37Oh, my God.
00:06:39What is this?
00:06:41Oh, my gosh.
00:06:42A little private oasis.
00:06:44This house feels like us.
00:06:46This feels like Hannah and Johnny's house.
00:06:52Follow me.
00:06:54Double doors?
00:06:55Two doors.
00:06:59What the actual...
00:07:01No.
00:07:04No.
00:07:07Look at you.
00:07:11This is the prettiest thing I've ever seen.
00:07:18Bloody Taylor and Ellie, how do you know me so well?
00:07:21Keeps on going.
00:07:23Oh, my God.
00:07:25What?
00:07:26This is like in a multi, multi-million dollar property.
00:07:30I lost it when I walked in because it's just...
00:07:33It's not even for me.
00:07:34It's for you.
00:07:35It's like...
00:07:36This is my space.
00:07:37It's not yours.
00:07:38I mean, it's ours.
00:07:39No, I know, but I'm just...
00:07:42Yeah.
00:07:43So happy that you get a house that you love.
00:07:45Yeah.
00:07:49I see another door and I feel like I want to look at it.
00:07:53I think you're really going to like this.
00:07:56Oh, my God.
00:08:00This is so nice.
00:08:02And Johnny, the shower.
00:08:04It's giant.
00:08:05That suits guys like you and me.
00:08:09Hey.
00:08:12What a win.
00:08:14No one's going to believe me that Chris Proud's been in my shower.
00:08:19It's time for the nursery.
00:08:21Yeah.
00:08:22It's the one we all want to see.
00:08:23All right.
00:08:24Okay.
00:08:28Are you ready?
00:08:29No.
00:08:30This is really special.
00:08:32You go.
00:08:35Oh, my God.
00:08:38So pretty.
00:08:43It's...
00:08:46It's...
00:09:10Only parents can understand that you're like...
00:09:13When you have kids, just your whole world changes.
00:09:16And I would do anything for these kids.
00:09:20It's such a beautiful nursery and everything,
00:09:22even down to the lights, which is here.
00:09:25Attention to detail.
00:09:26But it is missing one little thing.
00:09:28Just give me a moment.
00:09:29What?
00:09:38I think these guys belong in the nursery.
00:09:40Oh, my biggest man.
00:09:43Hello, Mama.
00:09:44Hello.
00:09:45Welcome to your room.
00:09:47What do you think?
00:09:49This is your bed.
00:09:51It's just been an unbelievably privileged experience.
00:09:56And this is why we did it.
00:09:58This is the moment we wanted.
00:10:01Seeing their little faces when they got to walk into their new nursery,
00:10:04like, it makes it all worth it.
00:10:09You know what?
00:10:10A couple of guys just wanted to call by.
00:10:12Hey.
00:10:14Hello.
00:10:20It's so cool.
00:10:21I can't wait for you to experience this.
00:10:23Thank you.
00:10:24Thank you.
00:10:25You're so welcome.
00:10:26All right, can we have a group hug?
00:10:27Yeah.
00:10:3735 kilometres north of Brisbane in Deception Bay.
00:10:44Liam's home was a dated 1970s timber Queenslander
00:10:48in desperate need of a renovation to revamp its tired look.
00:10:54It's just storing crap.
00:10:56Chaos.
00:10:57Chaos, yeah.
00:10:58Our kitchen area is really lax, so everything's kind of jammed in everywhere.
00:11:04Can you hurry up and fix that, by the way?
00:11:05Yeah, it's missing, sorry.
00:11:07Liam had big dreams of renovating his family home,
00:11:11but with the rising cost of living and long work hours,
00:11:15it always took a back seat.
00:11:17I work most days from about six till six.
00:11:20I've been coming home and doing paperwork and stuff like that.
00:11:23Making ends meet was the priority.
00:11:26It weighs on my shoulders and my partner's shoulders, I think,
00:11:29to do renovations at the moment because of the money.
00:11:32You know, it was more concerned to make sure we had food, water and,
00:11:35you know, power on and all the other stuff.
00:11:38But three weeks into the build,
00:11:40Liam's dream home was starting to become a reality.
00:11:46And the first half of the house was revealed.
00:11:49Holy shit!
00:12:00I love it.
00:12:01I love everything about this house.
00:12:02Claim this spot, I reckon.
00:12:06Holy!
00:12:07This is insane.
00:12:09I mean, if I had 10, 20, 30 years,
00:12:11I don't think I'd achieve what has achieved in two weeks here.
00:12:14Life is beyond dream.
00:12:16Liam's house originally had every room all on the one level,
00:12:20with no flow and plenty of misused space.
00:12:24But now their two-storey dream home features three large bedrooms,
00:12:30including a master with ensuite and walk-in robe,
00:12:34two more bathrooms, a dining room, living room and massive kitchen,
00:12:39perfect for a growing family.
00:12:43And now it's time for Liam and big brother Rhys
00:12:46to see the total transformation.
00:12:49Wow.
00:12:50Your day's here.
00:12:51Yeah.
00:12:52You're right.
00:12:53Get to share it with Rhys and get to share it with Remy and Shan.
00:12:56So, yeah, even better.
00:12:58It's good for me to be able to, like,
00:13:00see all the effort that I've put into the other houses,
00:13:03and now I know I'm, like, standing here and Liam gets his dream home.
00:13:07Yeah.
00:13:08It'll be a proud moment.
00:13:10To see Remy's nursery, I think it's going to blow my socks off.
00:13:13I can't wait to see that.
00:13:14That front facade sounds crazy.
00:13:16Yeah, I just can't wait to get in there and take that blindfold off.
00:13:20OK, you don't know it,
00:13:22but you are actually standing in front of your brand-new dream home right now.
00:13:28On three, we're going to lift these blindfolds.
00:13:30Yep.
00:13:31Are you ready?
00:13:32Can't wait to see it.
00:13:33All right.
00:13:34One, two, three, go.
00:13:39Holy doly!
00:13:41Woo!
00:13:48That is a coastal dream, Liam.
00:13:52No doubt.
00:13:53Wow.
00:13:55You can definitely watch the activities from that balcony.
00:13:58I don't have words.
00:13:59Shannon is going to flip.
00:14:01Let's have a look inside.
00:14:02Yeah.
00:14:03Let's do it.
00:14:05Wow, Liam.
00:14:10Holy.
00:14:13Wow.
00:14:14That's nice.
00:14:15When they said foyer, I knew what it meant.
00:14:18It is huge.
00:14:20This is so cool.
00:14:21This is amazing.
00:14:23I've got to come over to reception real quick and just check in.
00:14:28Yes, I'm here forever.
00:14:30Thank you.
00:14:33Yeah, I can't wait to see this.
00:14:35Whoa.
00:14:36Look at that.
00:14:38Pretty.
00:14:42Johnny's done a really good job in here.
00:14:44Yeah.
00:14:45Holy, look at these.
00:14:47Woo!
00:14:48Nice, huh?
00:14:49Yeah.
00:14:50The most important part of this whole balcony is this little shelf here.
00:14:53Yeah, that is so cool.
00:14:55Yeah.
00:14:56We're thinking now, you get home from work, you're like, oh, you basically walk in.
00:15:01Yeah.
00:15:03Wash your worries away.
00:15:05Yeah.
00:15:06I've never wanted to see me washing my legs in front of you.
00:15:10100%.
00:15:11Yeah.
00:15:15All right.
00:15:16Well, you're in.
00:15:17It feels like you're liking downstairs.
00:15:18Yeah.
00:15:19Loving it.
00:15:20There's a staircase with your name written all over it.
00:15:21Yeah, let's head in.
00:15:22We're going to check it out.
00:15:24I've actually never had internal stairs.
00:15:25You've never had two levels.
00:15:26I know.
00:15:27It just feels so tall.
00:15:30That is cool.
00:15:32Why don't you check out your master bedroom?
00:15:37Woo-hoo!
00:15:38You've got the love.
00:15:40You've got the love.
00:15:42You've got the love.
00:15:47You've got the love.
00:15:49You've got the love.
00:15:51No way.
00:15:52Yeah, that looks awesome.
00:15:53I love it.
00:15:54I really like this.
00:15:55Yeah.
00:15:57I think I'll take this room, Lee.
00:15:59Yeah, will you?
00:16:00This isn't a guest bedroom, Chris.
00:16:02It's not.
00:16:03That's down the hallway.
00:16:05This is the master.
00:16:06I'm the master now.
00:16:12There's not a single thing I've looked at that I haven't just loved.
00:16:15There is a bathroom you need to see.
00:16:18Brad Mills' bathroom.
00:16:21Oh, Lee!
00:16:23Mel and Brad!
00:16:24Yes!
00:16:26Yes!
00:16:27They did it.
00:16:28So good.
00:16:29They did it.
00:16:31They've hit the brief, they've hit the mark,
00:16:33and it feels like you want to shower in here.
00:16:37Shannon's going to be so happy.
00:16:39It is the dream home for us.
00:16:41But the best revelation is yet to come,
00:16:44as Liam's partner, Shannon, and their daughter, Remy...
00:16:47Love it.
00:16:48Absolutely love it.
00:16:50Hear that?
00:16:51Yeah.
00:16:52Oh, let's go see.
00:16:53..are about to see their new home for the first time.
00:16:58Hello!
00:17:00Hello!
00:17:02Hi, Remy.
00:17:04Oh, my God.
00:17:05How's it going?
00:17:06Hi.
00:17:07Hey.
00:17:08Hello, Remy.
00:17:09How you doing?
00:17:10Shannon, what do you think about this?
00:17:11Oh, my God, this is insane.
00:17:13I'm shaking.
00:17:15I can't believe this is our house.
00:17:17I can't wait to have all the family over
00:17:19and we can finally fit everyone in.
00:17:21This is our house!
00:17:23There is one room that none of us have seen yet.
00:17:27Oh, my God.
00:17:28We've been waiting just for you.
00:17:30OK.
00:17:31Come on, let's go.
00:17:33Go.
00:17:34Oh, my...
00:17:35Oh, my God.
00:17:38Oh, my God.
00:17:41Oh, it's so pretty.
00:17:44That's so nice.
00:17:46Oh, my God.
00:17:48Oh, my God.
00:17:51That's so nice.
00:17:52Oh, my God, a little reading room.
00:17:55Here, Remy, check it out.
00:17:58Woo-hoo!
00:17:59I absolutely love it.
00:18:00There's literally not one thing that I would change.
00:18:03Remy, this is your room for last.
00:18:06This is definitely our forever family home
00:18:08and, you know, there's definitely room for even one more.
00:18:13Hi!
00:18:14Hey!
00:18:16Come on.
00:18:17How you doing?
00:18:19Goodbye.
00:18:20Thank you so much.
00:18:22I feel like he owes me about three million beers.
00:18:25Can deliver on that.
00:18:28It's pretty clear that you guys are never leaving your dream home,
00:18:32apart from the final stop,
00:18:35because we are all going to Sydney.
00:18:38Yeah!
00:18:40Yeah!
00:18:49Coming up...
00:18:50That is a massive tour opera.
00:18:52..from dream homes in Queensland to...
00:18:54Oh, my gosh! What is that?
00:18:57..and that's just the beginning.
00:19:00We have some really bad news.
00:19:02Oh, my gosh.
00:19:03Everyone out. Follow me. Let's go.
00:19:06On the final stretch, it's never been so hard...
00:19:10More delay.
00:19:11..as our couples fight...
00:19:13Maybe you guys maybe should have spoke to us a little bit
00:19:16before your order.
00:19:17It's a pick where it goes.
00:19:19Massive mistake.
00:19:21..for a place in the top three.
00:19:23If there's too many competing factors,
00:19:25it's actually going to be very, like, sensory overload.
00:19:28I don't know what is right.
00:19:30And it's really stressing me out.
00:19:36In case you haven't guessed it, we have arrived in New South Wales.
00:19:42Sydney, to be precise.
00:19:48And on their way to start the renovations
00:19:50on Jordan and Jacinta's house in the south-west suburb of Punchbowl
00:19:54are Peter and Lara.
00:19:56I got my work boots on.
00:19:58My work boots are on.
00:20:00I got my work boots on.
00:20:02My work boots are on.
00:20:04Teams have once again been shuffled.
00:20:07So joining Peter and Lara for the first time
00:20:10is Jordan and Jacinta's Renault Besties, Hannah and Johnny,
00:20:14and sisters Taylor and Ellie, whom they've already worked with.
00:20:18This week, we're winning.
00:20:20That's how it manifests.
00:20:22We're winning this week.
00:20:24As they've all learnt by now,
00:20:26no reward comes without a lot of hard work.
00:20:30But there's hard work.
00:20:32And then there's Jordan and Jacinta's house.
00:20:40So, we have a fire bell.
00:20:42Apparently, if you ring it, a really sexy fireman comes.
00:20:45Um, I've never tried it, though, just in case.
00:20:48I have. It doesn't work.
00:20:51In 2021, interest rates were at an all-time low
00:20:55and first homeowners were clambering
00:20:57to get into the real estate market.
00:21:00Including Jacinta and Jordan,
00:21:03who bought this fixer-upper in Punchbowl.
00:21:06There was no actually...
00:21:08Showerhead. ..a door or a door.
00:21:10No door.
00:21:11So, if you're sitting on the toilet,
00:21:13everyone could see you... The aroma.
00:21:15..but it allowed you to scent the house.
00:21:17Pooh puree, not pooh puree.
00:21:21The kitchen, that is not built for wogs.
00:21:24It's not wog-approved at all.
00:21:26My grandmother saw this
00:21:28and she had to ask me if this was the main kitchen
00:21:30cos she didn't understand how I was going to cook for my husband.
00:21:35Three years and 13 rate hikes later
00:21:38and Jacinta and Jordan can't even afford to live in it,
00:21:42let alone renovate it.
00:21:44And you're going,
00:21:45"'Cool, I have all this debt now, I can't afford to do it up,
00:21:49"'so what do I do with it?
00:21:51"'OK, so we'll rent it out.'"
00:21:54Jordan and Jacinta have continued renting out that run-down house
00:21:58while living in a family granny flat
00:22:00with their two small girls just to make ends meet.
00:22:04That is, until now.
00:22:12That's a doer-upper.
00:22:14That is a massive doer-upper-er.
00:22:17They bought this looking like that!
00:22:22And I'm sure they paid a lot of money for it.
00:22:26Back home in Sydney on our third house.
00:22:29Just showing up, seeing the house.
00:22:31It's a dog box.
00:22:32And again, like always, we're wigging out about what's to come.
00:22:37I'm wigging out.
00:22:38Yeah, I'm not wigging out.
00:22:43Oh, my God!
00:22:47What is it? What is it?
00:22:50I think they're just going to be appreciative
00:22:52when we give them new blinds.
00:22:54I would be stoked.
00:22:56Shame there's no blind over the bathroom.
00:23:00Oh, my gosh!
00:23:02What is that?
00:23:04It was like a punch in the face.
00:23:06There is something in that toilet
00:23:08that has been there for a very long time.
00:23:10And it's not mine, it's not his.
00:23:13There's flies!
00:23:15Oh, no!
00:23:18Look, there's like dirt coming in from the vents.
00:23:21I think there's bugs.
00:23:22You're triggered.
00:23:24There was smells in there.
00:23:26There was bugs in there.
00:23:27I didn't want to touch anything.
00:23:29I was kind of just like walking into a room
00:23:31and then standing like this.
00:23:32Yeah.
00:23:33Welcome to Punchy.
00:23:34Hello!
00:23:36Oh, my gosh!
00:23:37What is this?
00:23:39Like, our place is bad.
00:23:41Oh, I shouldn't have opened that.
00:23:42No, don't open that.
00:23:45A rat.
00:23:46It's a rat.
00:23:47Scared myself.
00:23:48She's cool.
00:23:50The freaking...
00:23:53Why did you do that?
00:23:54The fridge!
00:23:56It was gross.
00:23:57It's gross.
00:23:58The house is gross.
00:23:59It's gross.
00:24:00I need air.
00:24:01It's locked.
00:24:03I'm excited.
00:24:04There's so much to keep.
00:24:06Rip it all down.
00:24:07Get us some airflow, please.
00:24:09Oh, my God!
00:24:10I think we've saved the best for last
00:24:12because this house is an absolute mess.
00:24:16Welcome to our home.
00:24:17It's a pleasure to have you guys here.
00:24:19We can't see how you turned this Frankenstein house
00:24:22into our dream home.
00:24:25We send you all of our love and support and many thanks.
00:24:27So much love.
00:24:28Jordan, Jacinta, Amelia and Olivia.
00:24:31So, kitchen and dining vibes.
00:24:32Think sexy, luxury, five-star hotel.
00:24:36Blacks, whites and stones.
00:24:38White furniture.
00:24:40Why?
00:24:41Crazy people.
00:24:43Knowing Jacinta and spending the short time that we did with her,
00:24:46I knew what was coming,
00:24:48but I didn't know that it was, like, to this extreme.
00:24:52Bedroom and ensuite.
00:24:53Where's sexy in the bedroom?
00:24:54Soft glam and sexy.
00:24:57I don't know what's happening now.
00:24:59This is, like, I think the biggest challenge.
00:25:03Let's see how much crazy amount of work we have to do.
00:25:06Is this an upstairs?
00:25:07Yeah!
00:25:08Wow!
00:25:09Jordan and Jacinta's cramped old Frankenstein house
00:25:13is about to be transformed into a huge two-storey dream home.
00:25:19Starting downstairs with a massive kitchen,
00:25:22butler's pantry, living, dining, laundry and powder room,
00:25:28as well as a master bedroom,
00:25:30complete with ensuite and walk-in robe.
00:25:34Upstairs, another bathroom and another living room.
00:25:39And for Jordan and Jacinta's girls, Amelia and Olivia,
00:25:43their very own bedrooms.
00:25:47Five, six, seven, eight rooms.
00:25:50Now to agree on which couples get which rooms.
00:25:54On this final house, I'm guessing it's not going to be a walk in the park.
00:26:00We came into this knowing that we want a kitchen.
00:26:03Like, essentially, the best outcome for the house
00:26:06is for us to do the kitchen.
00:26:08The groups, we've got kitchen, walk-in pantry, laundry and powder room.
00:26:15Dining, master bedroom and walk-in robe.
00:26:18And then you've got living room and ensuite.
00:26:22Honestly, I have no idea how this is going to go.
00:26:24I can see this going terribly, though.
00:26:27We will stand our ground to 100% not get the living ensuite,
00:26:33but I do not believe that Johnny and Hannah
00:26:36will feel comfortable with living in ensuite.
00:26:38What if we all, on the count of three,
00:26:40put out our fingers of which room we want,
00:26:42because then we know who's fighting for what rooms.
00:26:44That's great.
00:26:47Three, two, one, go.
00:26:50I thought you guys would fight for the kitchen.
00:26:52We haven't done it yet.
00:26:54I don't want the other three spaces literally just for the kitchen.
00:26:58We pointed at dining, master bedroom and walk-in robe.
00:27:01We would also like the dining master walk-in.
00:27:07Our strategy is to stay out of the politics
00:27:10so that we're not the bad guys
00:27:12and then we can start to separate ourselves and play our own game.
00:27:16Well, putting it this way,
00:27:18we know Jordan and Jacinta a lot better than you guys.
00:27:21So I feel like getting the master bedroom right
00:27:24is where we're sort of at.
00:27:28We just came off your ensuite and we've already done a living room.
00:27:32So for us, like, we just...
00:27:34Well, we've never done a master dining or walk-in robe either.
00:27:38We've never worked with Lara and Pete,
00:27:40so I'm really hoping that this isn't setting the tone
00:27:43for how they work throughout this whole cycle.
00:27:51It is slightly entertaining.
00:27:55What do you guys think?
00:27:57Because if we don't get the dining and the master,
00:28:00we're coming for the kitchen.
00:28:02I thought that would happen.
00:28:07Sorry, we're not budging on it.
00:28:11Yeah, I need to go and get some air.
00:28:13I'm going to pop outside for a short matter and go and cry.
00:28:20There's nothing happening and I'm getting a bit pissed off.
00:28:25No-one's backing down. It's literally turning into a showdown.
00:28:29To move this on, I would like to suggest
00:28:31we'll do paper, rock, scissors
00:28:33for the dining, master bedroom and walk-in robe.
00:28:36And whoever loses paper, rock, scissors
00:28:38will get living room ensuite
00:28:40and they will get first pick in the next cycle.
00:28:43Right now, it's tense.
00:28:47If I get the living room, I'm taking the fireplace.
00:28:50I'm not giving it to the dining room.
00:28:54If I lose...
00:28:56Oh!
00:28:58It's going to be fine, babe. Just don't lose.
00:29:00Just don't lose.
00:29:02I'm going to have to take some earplugs home.
00:29:04Just don't lose.
00:29:06All right, ready?
00:29:08Paper, scissors, rock.
00:29:10All right, you guys win.
00:29:13We'll take living room ensuite.
00:29:15And first pick.
00:29:17Taylor and Elle have kitchen, walk-in pantry,
00:29:20laundry and powder room.
00:29:22Lara and Pete, dining, master bedroom, walk-in robe.
00:29:26It's like that bittersweet,
00:29:28we got what we wanted,
00:29:30we dug our heels in,
00:29:32but I still feel yuck
00:29:34because people are walking away with what they don't want.
00:29:37I hate to say it,
00:29:39but things are about to get a whole lot worse.
00:29:43Knock, knock, guys.
00:29:45How are we all?
00:29:47Nice to meet you. Sam.
00:29:49I'm the one looking after this.
00:29:51Hopefully keeping you in control.
00:29:53Nice to meet you all.
00:29:55We have some really bad news.
00:29:57The house is structurally not sound
00:29:59and it is riddled with asbestos.
00:30:01Oh, my God.
00:30:03So we are bulldozing the whole thing,
00:30:05literally right now.
00:30:09Oh, my gosh.
00:30:13Everyone out. Follow me, let's go.
00:30:18When are we coming back?
00:30:20No idea at the moment.
00:30:22Oh, my God.
00:30:25At Jordan and Jacinta's house
00:30:27in the Sydney suburb of Punchbowl,
00:30:29the couples have just been dealt
00:30:31a massive blow.
00:30:33When are we coming back?
00:30:35No idea at the moment.
00:30:37Oh, my God.
00:30:39They've been asked to leave the build site
00:30:41as the house is structurally unsound
00:30:43and riddled with asbestos.
00:30:45We know how tight these things are,
00:30:47we know the turnarounds of these things,
00:30:49and it's not going to be easy.
00:30:51It's not going to be easy.
00:30:53We know how tight these things are,
00:30:55we know the turnarounds of these things,
00:30:57and every second counts.
00:30:59And right now, this is massive delay
00:31:01and we can't afford delays.
00:31:03We can't, builders can't, Jacinta and Jordan can't.
00:31:07So this is scary.
00:31:11As Lara goes into panic mode
00:31:13over the demolition
00:31:15of Jacinta and Jordan's Punchbowl house...
00:31:17...about an hour's drive away
00:31:19in the northern suburb of Belrose
00:31:21is Lara and Peter's house.
00:31:23And Jacinta and Jordan
00:31:25are on their way to renovate it.
00:31:27Final house and we're in our home state.
00:31:31Joining them are Brad and Mel...
00:31:33This is so exciting.
00:31:35And Rhys and Liam,
00:31:37who Jordan and Jacinta are yet to work with.
00:31:39I think at the end of the day, Rhys,
00:31:41we know Lara and Pete well enough
00:31:43that they want us to do the kitchen.
00:31:45The question is,
00:31:47what exactly are they heading to?
00:31:49The bins don't have a home,
00:31:51they just sit out the front,
00:31:53which looks so good.
00:31:55That's a bit of colour, the front yard.
00:31:57Lara and Peter had their dream home
00:31:59in their sights years ago
00:32:01and were determined to do whatever it took
00:32:03to make that dream a reality.
00:32:05Literally didn't go on a honeymoon
00:32:07because we put that towards the house.
00:32:09Right.
00:32:11Enter...
00:32:13Enter...
00:32:15this four-bedroom,
00:32:17tired, old red-brick house
00:32:19in Belrose.
00:32:21Look at all the crap hanging out of it.
00:32:23Look at that. Oh!
00:32:25That's broken.
00:32:27Some of the things around the house screams that.
00:32:29Like when the door's hanging by one of the things,
00:32:31it's kind of like, ah, well, it'll be alright
00:32:33until the next one falls off.
00:32:35That's really great when you need to go get a big pot out.
00:32:37This...
00:32:39Yeah, look, that's broken.
00:32:41I think it needs to be donated to the museum
00:32:43when we're done with it. I think so.
00:32:45The plan was to transform the house
00:32:47with its maze-like layout...
00:32:49...into a laundry,
00:32:51which I would say is just Peter's thoroughfare
00:32:53through to...
00:32:55...the bar fridge.
00:32:57...and awkward spaces...
00:32:59No.
00:33:01It wouldn't even cover the top of your legs.
00:33:03Yeah.
00:33:05...into an idyllic home to bring up their young family.
00:33:11Keeping up with rising interest rates
00:33:13and the demand of supporting a growing family
00:33:15put plans for their
00:33:17much-needed renovations
00:33:19and their life firmly
00:33:21on hold.
00:33:23When you start talking about what you want to do
00:33:25and all you hear on the news
00:33:27and whatnot is that the prices of materials
00:33:29are going up, trade's going up, everything's going up,
00:33:31and then you've got the interest rates going up
00:33:33and you're starting to talk about what you want
00:33:35to do around the place, you very quickly
00:33:37come to a realisation
00:33:39that none of that's going to happen.
00:33:41Well, we'll see about that.
00:33:45Because here
00:33:47comes the cavalry now.
00:33:51Wow. Wow.
00:33:53It's so wide. It's massive.
00:33:55What the land. Yeah.
00:33:57Safe to say, we have something in common.
00:33:59They don't have a green thumb.
00:34:03This is a disaster in plans.
00:34:05I now know why
00:34:07Lara works with fake flowers.
00:34:11That front garden says enough.
00:34:13Let's see what we've got inside.
00:34:15This is going to be an amazing makeover.
00:34:17At the moment, game plan is
00:34:19get off the bottom.
00:34:21Yeah. We've got to climb
00:34:23a long way and I reckon
00:34:25the kitchen's the way to do it. It would be our best
00:34:27chance at getting the backyard.
00:34:29Why is this in a lounge room?
00:34:31So you can have a media room, Liam.
00:34:33Rhys, let's test out the couch before they get
00:34:35the new one.
00:34:37Both of us have made a pretty good relationship with Pete and Lara,
00:34:39so pretty cool to do their house, I think.
00:34:41I think we got a good idea just by
00:34:43talking to them of what they were after.
00:34:45When you walk in,
00:34:47it's very
00:34:49much like little Lego pieces
00:34:51kind of just snapped on throughout the home.
00:34:53It's like a maze.
00:34:55Oh my God, I got lost at one point.
00:34:57It's a big house.
00:34:59Like, yeah, it just keeps going.
00:35:01But I feel a bit confused about the location.
00:35:03I know. It's like little rabbit laurens
00:35:05everywhere. I can definitely
00:35:07see how it's not functional. There was no
00:35:09flow. It's the flow of the house,
00:35:11I think. Hey guys,
00:35:13welcome to our home. Thank you for
00:35:15transforming this ugly duckling into
00:35:17the gorgeous swan we know she can be.
00:35:19We are so very grateful. Love,
00:35:21Lara, Pete, Leo and Mia.
00:35:23Our dream home, coastal Mediterranean.
00:35:25In Peter and Lara's
00:35:27dream coastal Mediterranean home,
00:35:29earthy tones dominate,
00:35:31with clay finishings and stone cladding
00:35:33blending with neutral colours
00:35:35and touches of white, topped off
00:35:37with plenty of natural light.
00:35:39I'm loving all the vibe of this. It's gorgeous.
00:35:41So, they've got the brief,
00:35:43now for the floor plan.
00:35:45Alrighty, let's take a
00:35:47look, guys. Moment of truth.
00:35:49Two storey.
00:35:51Oh, yay!
00:35:53So, front door.
00:35:55Lara and Peter's one
00:35:57level maze is about to be transformed
00:35:59into their two storey
00:36:01dream home.
00:36:03With the planned remodelling,
00:36:05the house will have better flow
00:36:07and gain an additional upstairs
00:36:09floor, featuring a living room,
00:36:11bathroom and two bedrooms.
00:36:13Downstairs,
00:36:15the house will have a living room,
00:36:17laundry, kitchen,
00:36:19dining, bathroom and
00:36:21master bedroom, with a walk-in
00:36:23robe and en suite.
00:36:25Joining these two floors will be a
00:36:27spiral staircase, which will
00:36:29be built by all three couples
00:36:31together. But, first
00:36:33things first. Let's see
00:36:35what rooms they're tackling this week
00:36:37and more importantly, which couples
00:36:39get to do which ones.
00:36:41Alright, let's see how they're coupled.
00:36:43Oh, God. Up for grabs.
00:36:45Kitchen, laundry, bathroom
00:36:47one. Couple two, dining,
00:36:49master bedroom, walk-in robe.
00:36:51Couple three, living room
00:36:53and en suite. We want to win
00:36:55so we want the kitchen.
00:36:57Wow.
00:37:03We're really
00:37:05going to put our foot down on this. I think
00:37:07this is where my stubbornness comes out.
00:37:09I want to do kitchen and laundry. I knew because I'm
00:37:11always in there. I want to be able to do this for her
00:37:13and I'm great at telling people what
00:37:15to do. So I can tell that Jonah
00:37:17and the cabinet maker and all those involved
00:37:19this is what I want and that's
00:37:21what you're going to do.
00:37:23The labour involved in kitchen, laundry,
00:37:25bathroom is freaking hectic.
00:37:29If we're
00:37:31in that kitchen space, me being a carpenter
00:37:33I can get in there and help frame walls and things
00:37:35like that. And then of course, Rhys is the
00:37:37tiler. Both of our trades add value to
00:37:39this home simply of what we can offer
00:37:41instead of taking from the budget.
00:37:43The hard thing for us too, like for
00:37:45Rhys and I, we spent the most time with RMP.
00:37:47We watched them build a kitchen.
00:37:49They watched us build a kitchen. It is the
00:37:51heart of the home and we've nailed it before
00:37:53and they've seen that themselves so
00:37:55they even said that they wanted us to do a kitchen
00:37:57so we're going to strive to try and get that kitchen.
00:37:59If we did
00:38:01majority rules, who would you
00:38:03guys put in the kitchen?
00:38:11The boys have spent
00:38:13four cycles with Lara and Pete and they know them
00:38:15well. So we just got outvoted
00:38:17sounds like.
00:38:19They've got a real opportunity to like
00:38:21nail this.
00:38:25Really like in the pit of the gut
00:38:27feels uncomfortable because
00:38:29you want everyone to get what they want.
00:38:31Like that's how we feel. We want
00:38:33everyone to get what they want.
00:38:35So we're all good?
00:38:37Not really.
00:38:39I don't know what to do.
00:38:45A little frustrated that I didn't get
00:38:47what I wanted.
00:38:49So we've reluctantly
00:38:51sorted it. But I feel like you've
00:38:53got to weigh it up. I mean
00:38:55kitchens don't always win. So in summary
00:38:57Jacinta and Jordan have the living room
00:38:59and en suite. Brad and Mel
00:39:01have the master bedroom, walk-in
00:39:03robe and dining room.
00:39:05And Rhys and Liam have the kitchen,
00:39:07laundry and bathroom.
00:39:09We do really appreciate it. Thank you guys.
00:39:11It's for the house.
00:39:13We walked away with the
00:39:15kitchen and now we have a lot of
00:39:17work to do and a short time to do it.
00:39:46Still works.
00:39:48Coming up.
00:39:50More bad news at Punchbowl.
00:39:52This really isn't ideal.
00:39:54As the site's shut down.
00:39:56We don't have an answer for you on how things are going to move forward.
00:39:58Leads to Lara's meltdown.
00:40:02I just don't know if I can do it.
00:40:04And a bell rose.
00:40:06Everyone's eating right here.
00:40:08Jordan plucks up the courage
00:40:10to take on Jacinta.
00:40:12We get to pick where it goes.
00:40:14Massive, massive mistake.
00:40:30It's day three of the build in
00:40:32New South Wales where Jacinta
00:40:34and Jordan and Lara and
00:40:36Peter are finally about
00:40:38to get their dream homes.
00:40:41So we've got the wardrobe
00:40:43we're doing, the walk in.
00:40:45Where's that going?
00:40:47Just here.
00:40:49About 1910 in its width.
00:40:51We were really hopeful
00:40:53that we'd get Lara and Pete's house and here we are.
00:40:55So that's really exciting for us.
00:40:57Joining Brad and Mel at Lara
00:40:59and Peter's bell rose house in Sydney's
00:41:01north are Rhys and Liam
00:41:05and Jacinta and Jordan.
00:41:07Do we do TV?
00:41:10Here?
00:41:12Ideally I feel like TV there is great.
00:41:14Couch is there.
00:41:16After losing the kitchen to new
00:41:18Renault mates Rhys and Liam,
00:41:20Jacinta and Jordan reluctantly
00:41:22landed the living room and the
00:41:24en suite.
00:41:26I feel like even though we didn't get the
00:41:28rooms we wanted, I'm kind of happy
00:41:30because I feel like the boys are running really
00:41:32tight on space where this time
00:41:34round we have an abundance of space in the living room.
00:41:36At least that's one
00:41:38situation they've gotten themselves out of.
00:41:40He needs more across his mouth.
00:41:44As for Brad and Mel,
00:41:46they're very familiar with Rhys and Liam's
00:41:48antics, having worked with them
00:41:50and Lara and Peter before.
00:41:52Oh yeah!
00:41:54They were the Renault rookies.
00:41:56What's the best way to use a freaking measuring tape?
00:41:58With a lot to learn.
00:42:00Do you know what a shower noose is?
00:42:02One of those potties.
00:42:04It's no secret I haven't liked a single
00:42:06one of the bathrooms you've done yet.
00:42:08That is, at least until last judging.
00:42:10But I have to say I liked your bathroom
00:42:12this week.
00:42:14Well done!
00:42:16Thank you!
00:42:18And while top three would be the icing on the cake,
00:42:20Got a dream?
00:42:22Of course!
00:42:24Brad and Mel are prioritising other things.
00:42:26Danielle, Mel, good.
00:42:28Most importantly for us it's about growth.
00:42:30We're just committed to
00:42:32delivering something really beautiful.
00:42:34We want to be able
00:42:36to do that for Lara and Pete.
00:42:38We're trying to make our kids proud too.
00:42:40And they're off to a flying start.
00:42:42The doorway entry into this
00:42:44room is, currently
00:42:46it's coming through the walk-in robe.
00:42:48Brad and Mel are designing
00:42:50Peter and Lara's dining room,
00:42:52walk-in robe and master bedroom.
00:42:54We want to delete
00:42:56that door and relocate
00:42:58it to here.
00:43:00With the coastal Mediterranean brief front of mind.
00:43:02We've got big earthy
00:43:04textural clay
00:43:06ideas.
00:43:08We really want to use it in the dining room.
00:43:10The master bedroom
00:43:12most certainly.
00:43:14Just go through every room.
00:43:16All the rooms.
00:43:18But it's the master where they're really putting their time and money
00:43:20into creating the biggest wow factor.
00:43:22This is where we can
00:43:24put a bench seat.
00:43:26Brad and Mel's design for the new master bedroom
00:43:28includes a custom built clay bed
00:43:30complete with integrated bed head
00:43:32and side tables.
00:43:34There's also a clay wall
00:43:36with niche shelving.
00:43:38And to really bring home the wow,
00:43:40a clay bench seat with a
00:43:42real life olive tree growing from it.
00:43:44Olive trees absolutely
00:43:46scream and shout Mediterranean.
00:43:48Yeah, what is happening with the tree?
00:43:50It's supposed to go here.
00:43:52The tree's growing on ya.
00:43:54Yeah, our preference would be an olive tree.
00:43:56Is it in their design brief?
00:43:58There's plants everywhere.
00:44:00And it's Mediterranean.
00:44:02This is the tree and the height of it is there at the moment.
00:44:04But it's about there.
00:44:06It's a big tree, guys.
00:44:08It is a big tree at the moment.
00:44:10Honest opinion, I wouldn't want a tree in my bedroom.
00:44:12I wouldn't want my
00:44:14floor cut out.
00:44:16My master bedroom is
00:44:18my retreat.
00:44:20Closed off from everything.
00:44:22That's me.
00:44:24I would remove the tree.
00:44:26Yeah.
00:44:28John's not a big fan of the olive tree.
00:44:30John's not a big fan of any tree in his bedroom.
00:44:32He said, quite frankly, he'll rip it out
00:44:34if it was in his room.
00:44:36But he's not Lara and Pete.
00:44:38No. It's Lara and Pete's home.
00:44:40We're doing it for Lara and Pete and ourselves.
00:44:42Yeah.
00:44:44But right now an olive tree is the last thing
00:44:46on Lara and Peter's minds.
00:44:50Oh, I need to breathe.
00:44:52It's been two days
00:44:54since asbestos was discovered
00:44:56in Jacinta and Jordan's punch bowl house.
00:44:58And the whole thing
00:45:00has since been demolished.
00:45:02That's two days less of what was already
00:45:04a very tight deadline.
00:45:08Now they're headed back to site
00:45:10with Hannah and Johnny and Taylor and Ellie
00:45:12to make up for lost time.
00:45:18Come rain.
00:45:20What a delightful day.
00:45:22Hail.
00:45:24This really isn't ideal.
00:45:26Or mud pit?
00:45:32The house is gone, which is a positive.
00:45:34But it's just a big mud pit.
00:45:36It looks like a three-day festival
00:45:38has just taken place.
00:45:40Morning, guys.
00:45:42Welcome to the nightmare.
00:45:44As you can see, this is a big disaster.
00:45:46This stuff's like ice walking on.
00:45:48We're going to be doing a bit of digging and cleaning if we can.
00:45:50But we're playing ball with the weather
00:45:52and it's a bit of an unknown.
00:45:54We're going to be digging a hole
00:45:56right where that's sitting there,
00:45:58like a deep hole with a little trench
00:46:00to get this to run into that to fill that
00:46:02just so we can dig here.
00:46:04It's literally where we're moving shit
00:46:06from one spot to another.
00:46:08This is a nice way to put it.
00:46:10So this is just more delay?
00:46:12Big delay.
00:46:14We want to be pouring concrete tomorrow
00:46:16but we've got wet weather again
00:46:18so it's really up in the air with a lot of things
00:46:20which is pushing everything out
00:46:22which means that we don't have an answer
00:46:24for you on how things are going to move forward.
00:46:26Awesome.
00:46:28We started off on a delay, we've come back to another delay
00:46:30and I think tomorrow's much the same
00:46:32so I don't think it's getting any better
00:46:34any time soon.
00:46:36Go and get dry. See you guys.
00:46:38How good.
00:46:40How are we supposed to get this done in time?
00:46:42We should be giving
00:46:44Jordan and Jacinta what they deserve
00:46:46and it's like the worst situation.
00:46:48Maybe Jacinta and Jordan won't get
00:46:50their dream home.
00:46:52So
00:46:54yeah
00:46:56the panic
00:46:58is starting to build up again.
00:47:16It's day 4
00:47:18in Sydney
00:47:20and the concrete for the foundations
00:47:22of Jacinta and Jordan's
00:47:24Punchbowl house is finally
00:47:26being poured.
00:47:32But it's still 24 hours
00:47:34until Lara and Peter
00:47:36Hannah and Johnny
00:47:38and Taylor and Ellie
00:47:40can get in and get their hands dirty.
00:47:42Are you building foundations?
00:47:44I'm not asking a million dollars.
00:47:46You guys want me to drill a hole?
00:47:48While Taylor and Ellie
00:47:50have sat at the top of the leaderboard for weeks
00:47:52they aim to keep the streak going
00:47:54and have taken on the laundry
00:47:56powder room and all important
00:47:58kitchen to make it happen.
00:48:00Getting Jacinta's design
00:48:02brief, like we're very confident.
00:48:04I can't wait for it to all come together.
00:48:10For Jacinta and Jordan's 5 star
00:48:12bougie hotel kitchen
00:48:14Taylor and Ellie's bold plan
00:48:16is stone like porcelain.
00:48:18There'll be a super wide porcelain
00:48:20island bench and behind
00:48:22it another wall to
00:48:24wall porcelain bench.
00:48:26A porcelain splashback
00:48:28and to top it all off
00:48:30a secret cupboard door made from
00:48:32porcelain.
00:48:34So with
00:48:40design plans in hand
00:48:42the sisters are hitting the shops.
00:48:48How do you come in here without touching everything?
00:48:50This is our island bench.
00:48:52Lay on it.
00:48:54This is so nice.
00:48:56So walking into
00:48:58Caesarstone and seeing that they have
00:49:00physically built the island bench
00:49:02that we're essentially building
00:49:04ourselves. Love at first sight.
00:49:06It's just, it's exactly
00:49:08what we need. I love it.
00:49:10We'll have heaps of this.
00:49:12You can put that in our
00:49:14ute. We'll be on our way.
00:49:16I'm literally just like visualising
00:49:18Jacinta. Can you imagine
00:49:20her like walking around the corner
00:49:22and just seeing this kitchen?
00:49:24This is the one. That's the one
00:49:26isn't it? Yep. I think she'll cry.
00:49:28I really think that
00:49:30this is her dream kitchen.
00:49:32Kitchen, tick.
00:49:34Now to Highgrove to sort out
00:49:36the powder room. So I'm walking
00:49:38into the powder. There's
00:49:40a... I don't mind it.
00:49:42A bench running along here. Yep.
00:49:44And I've got, I'll walk past my sink
00:49:46to go to the toilet.
00:49:48Yep. As Taylor and Ellie
00:49:50continue to lock things in.
00:49:52Washing in one side.
00:49:54Lara is hanging on by
00:49:56a thread.
00:50:00I feel
00:50:02like I'm just like
00:50:06I'm out of ideas.
00:50:08I'm out of being creative.
00:50:10The unexpected demolition and four day
00:50:12delay has hit her hard.
00:50:14I just don't know
00:50:16if I can do it.
00:50:22We just want our backyard done so bad.
00:50:24But I also really want to make
00:50:26Jacinta and Jordan's dream home.
00:50:28And though the finish line is fast
00:50:30approaching, it feels further
00:50:32away than ever.
00:50:34I'm missing the boys. I'm missing bread and milk badly.
00:50:36Yeah. They're our support people
00:50:38on this. We don't really have any support people here.
00:50:40So that
00:50:42makes it even harder.
00:50:44I still
00:50:46don't know if I'm going to do
00:50:48ten or eight chairs.
00:50:50And these are my chairs. Wait!
00:50:52Laughter
00:50:54Laughter
00:50:56I needed
00:50:58to cuddle so bad.
00:51:00I got so bad.
00:51:06I love you.
00:51:08Me too.
00:51:10I don't care what
00:51:12you do. You'll be amazing.
00:51:14I love Mel so much.
00:51:16I know and that's why
00:51:18when you see someone who genuinely
00:51:20cares about you, you can feel it in a cuddle.
00:51:22And I felt it.
00:51:24Bread and milk have our back
00:51:26no matter what.
00:51:28We've felt that from day one.
00:51:30You have
00:51:32interior design within you. You've got it.
00:51:34I know that you think that you don't and I know that you think
00:51:36it's really hard. I know you think all
00:51:38of those things. I'm telling you
00:51:40you've got it within you. Don't
00:51:42overthink it. You're doing a Mel.
00:51:44I overthink it really.
00:51:46One hundred percent
00:51:48I needed a cuddle from Mel today.
00:51:50I didn't know I needed it until I had it.
00:51:52It's
00:51:54given me a little
00:51:56skip in the step. Is that what it is?
00:51:58Pep in the step.
00:52:00Skip in my step.
00:52:02I said love Pete.
00:52:04This cushion over here. It's quite nice.
00:52:06But as Lara
00:52:08skips away back to Punchbowl,
00:52:10Taylor and Ellie
00:52:12call a team meeting after
00:52:14having spent most of their money on
00:52:16their expensive stone-like
00:52:18porcelain.
00:52:20We're full
00:52:22blown in the red.
00:52:24We can't finish the kitchen with how much we have.
00:52:26We've priced everything out
00:52:28and the three grand we had extra
00:52:30for appliances is actually like
00:52:32four and a half.
00:52:34So they're after money.
00:52:36But it's like I'm in the same boat.
00:52:38It's killing us
00:52:40because it's the heart of the home
00:52:42for Jacinta and
00:52:44Jordan.
00:52:46So for me, I'm not comfortable with that.
00:52:50If they have spent
00:52:52too much money on one singular item
00:52:54and they have no more money left, that's their
00:52:56fault. If they buy a Ferrari and they can
00:52:58only afford a Honda Civic,
00:53:00then buy a Honda Civic.
00:53:02We all have the issue of not having enough
00:53:04cash so no one can give anyone any
00:53:06cash.
00:53:08With no one budging
00:53:10on budget, Taylor and Ellie
00:53:12begin the conversation from the kitchen
00:53:14to their powder room.
00:53:16With the powder room,
00:53:18we would like to propose
00:53:20moving the door from the hallway
00:53:22and move it to the
00:53:24foyer or not having a basin
00:53:26are our options.
00:53:28Can you open the door outwards into the
00:53:30hallway the other way? The hallway's not
00:53:32big enough. We basically
00:53:34came up with like six options
00:53:36and it was like you could do this with the door
00:53:38and this is the only location you can put it.
00:53:40I'm going to go get Sam.
00:53:46I brought the man with the answers
00:53:48so we can get this.
00:53:50Talking about a door location for
00:53:52their powder room? Yes.
00:53:54Because they can't fit a sink and a toilet
00:53:56in that little powder room?
00:53:58Theoretically, you can
00:54:00fit everything in
00:54:02doing it the way that the plan's drawn.
00:54:04Technically,
00:54:08we can have a sink
00:54:10directly next to the person as they're sitting on the toilet
00:54:12but you shouldn't.
00:54:14But as soon as he came in
00:54:16with that lovely piece of pocket
00:54:18of information, they all got there.
00:54:20So I mean if you can physically
00:54:22get a basin in there,
00:54:24I would prefer the door stay there.
00:54:26I would also say no
00:54:28to moving the door.
00:54:30Interesting.
00:54:34Hmm.
00:54:36Unfortunately, it's a creative challenge
00:54:38and you'll have to make it work.
00:54:40So in summary, it's a no to
00:54:42talking about cash
00:54:44and it's a no to changing the powder room bill.
00:54:46I think we have all said that we are all tight on cash.
00:54:48Okay, noted.
00:54:50Consider a grudge held and
00:54:52we just won't be sharing anything around.
00:54:54If that's how we get treated, then we have to treat others the same.
00:54:56Pretty much the way we thought it would go.
00:54:58It is, yeah.
00:55:00I just like,
00:55:02hypocrisy like hurts my soul.
00:55:04Oh mate, they're talking shit anyway.
00:55:14There's less than two weeks until the first
00:55:16half of the reno on Jacintra and Jordan's
00:55:18Punchbowl house needs
00:55:20to be completed.
00:55:22After a rough and rainy start,
00:55:24the sun is finally out and
00:55:26everything is looking brighter.
00:55:28At least for
00:55:30Taylor and Ellie.
00:55:32It's heating up on side, if that's what you mean.
00:55:38The tradies here
00:55:40are really nice people.
00:55:42They're not shy.
00:55:44There's lots of
00:55:46nudity.
00:55:48Whenever they can.
00:55:50It's like if you wanted to picture a tradie
00:55:52magazine of trades.
00:55:54Oh yeah, it's like a calendar.
00:55:56We should make a calendar for the house.
00:55:58While Taylor and Ellie keep a close eye
00:56:00on the tradies at Punchbowl,
00:56:04over at Peter and Lara's Belrose house,
00:56:06what was once a run down
00:56:08old house is fast
00:56:10becoming the home of their dreams.
00:56:18Welcome to our ensuite.
00:56:20We're looking at doing a curved shower
00:56:22along this side.
00:56:24We'll have a wonderful tree right behind you.
00:56:26We're going to have a piece of art here, Dan.
00:56:28Liam, tell us
00:56:30what you're doing up there, mate.
00:56:36Tradie brothers
00:56:38Rhys and Liam are determined
00:56:40to win this week.
00:56:42It really is the second half of the game
00:56:44and we need to put our best foot forward.
00:56:46To do that,
00:56:48Rhys and Liam have taken on the mammoth
00:56:50task of the laundry,
00:56:52bathroom and kitchen.
00:56:54After winning with
00:56:56Ellie's kitchen in Victoria,
00:56:58they reckon they've got the goods to build
00:57:00Lara and Peter's ultra-lux
00:57:02coastal Mediterranean kitchen.
00:57:08Their design features a raked
00:57:10ceiling and skylights,
00:57:12a large island bench and cooktop
00:57:14bench, both made of stone,
00:57:16built in appliances
00:57:18and range hood, and Rhys'
00:57:20big wow factor, a tiled
00:57:22feature wall stretching right up
00:57:24to the ceiling.
00:57:26A 720 splashback
00:57:28with the stone all the way
00:57:30across the bench. We are in that position
00:57:32where we can get a dream backyard.
00:57:34We're in that top three. We just have to stay steady
00:57:36and we can deliver that. You're getting your dream home,
00:57:38buddy. You might be getting 100k.
00:57:40Might be. Might.
00:57:42I literally can't go home
00:57:44unless I win 100 grand. It should be on the front
00:57:46board. So, I think
00:57:48it'll win. What are you making me?
00:57:50Making a coffin
00:57:52to bury you in.
00:57:54Actually,
00:57:56it might well be Jordan's funeral.
00:57:58Inside, he's building up the courage
00:58:00to talk to Jacinta
00:58:02about her design plans.
00:58:04This week, they've taken
00:58:06on Lara and Peter's ensuite
00:58:08and living room.
00:58:10Jacinta's vision
00:58:12for their coastal Mediterranean-inspired
00:58:14living room includes
00:58:16a clay-rendered wall with a
00:58:18massive flat-screen TV
00:58:20and sound bar recessed into it
00:58:22and a curved clay
00:58:24bench below.
00:58:26But what's exciting her the most
00:58:28is the three-sided glass fireplace
00:58:30encased in a stone-clad
00:58:32wall.
00:58:34Your normal wall's going to go across there with your TV in it.
00:58:36You just need to understand that if
00:58:38you want to have your fireplace in here,
00:58:40allow 300 out.
00:58:42Minimum 300 out from there.
00:58:44In other words,
00:58:46to expose the three sides of the fireplace
00:58:48and keep it where Jacinta wants,
00:58:50it'll have to move closer to the TV,
00:58:52something Jordan's
00:58:54not happy about.
00:58:56Recessed box for the TV.
00:58:58Yeah?
00:59:00Come out for the stone wall. That's how it's going to look.
00:59:02I just think it's important that
00:59:04if you've got the fireplace, use it as a feature
00:59:06and be able to see all three
00:59:08sides.
00:59:10But a confined living area
00:59:12isn't Jordan's only concern.
00:59:14He's worried that the heat from the exposed
00:59:16fireplace may damage
00:59:18the TV.
00:59:20Can you hear me out?
00:59:22I am.
00:59:24If this is where the fireplace is starting,
00:59:26the glass of the fireplace
00:59:28is that far
00:59:30from the edge of the TV.
00:59:34Isn't that too close?
00:59:36It's not near it. It's got the ledge. You've still got the ledge, the niche
00:59:38and the gap, and then the TV starts.
00:59:40How high is the TV going?
00:59:42Pick that.
00:59:44I don't want it that close to the TV.
00:59:46I kept saying to you,
00:59:48we get to pick where it goes.
00:59:50It is so close to the TV.
00:59:52Well, not really. Yes, it is.
00:59:54It's not.
00:59:56I don't want to get in the middle of the argument, but
00:59:58I am really, greatly honest.
01:00:00I have to have this built today.
01:00:02I have to have it, okay?
01:00:04I don't care which way it goes,
01:00:06but you need to make a decision.
01:00:08Fireplace is getting
01:00:10delivered tomorrow, installed
01:00:12the day after.
01:00:14Wall needs to be up today. We've got to give them the solution.
01:00:16It's 20 centimetres.
01:00:18Having that play finished, that ledge
01:00:20and the fireplace lining up.
01:00:22Who is seeing the left panel
01:00:24of glass? Everyone sitting on that
01:00:26side of the room. Everyone sitting right here
01:00:28that can see the rest of the fireplace.
01:00:30I'm not
01:00:32benefiting that much more by
01:00:34seeing 20 centimetres of glass
01:00:36facing that way.
01:00:40This is
01:00:42a massive, massive
01:00:44mistake.
01:00:58At Peter and Lara's house in
01:01:00Belrose, tensions are high
01:01:02between Jordan and Jacinta.
01:01:04She's
01:01:06set on a three-sided glass
01:01:08fireplace, but it means
01:01:10moving it closer to the TV for
01:01:12it to fit. Something Jordan
01:01:14isn't happy about.
01:01:16I'm not benefiting that much
01:01:18more by seeing 20 centimetres
01:01:20of glass facing that way.
01:01:22This is a massive,
01:01:24massive mistake.
01:01:28I don't want to be
01:01:30a pain, but
01:01:32you've got to
01:01:34come up with an idea.
01:01:36We are.
01:01:38Okay, look.
01:01:40Whatever you want.
01:01:42It's your living room.
01:01:48We came up with
01:01:50our solution.
01:01:52We've compromised and gone with my design again.
01:01:54That's it there?
01:01:56All happy? That's it.
01:01:58Jacinta's vision,
01:02:00Jacinta's living room,
01:02:02happy wife,
01:02:04happy wife.
01:02:06Does it mean happy life?
01:02:08Of course.
01:02:10Thank you.
01:02:12Now the wall's settled,
01:02:14it's off to get that TV.
01:02:18And there's no time to waste.
01:02:22This is your favourite part, eh?
01:02:24Yeah, spending money.
01:02:26Look at the finish on these.
01:02:28They look really bougie.
01:02:30Iron my clothes.
01:02:32They are luxury.
01:02:34Jacinta, you're not doing the
01:02:36laundry.
01:02:38Or the kitchen.
01:02:40It's the knock knock fridge.
01:02:42That is my favourite thing to do.
01:02:44Jacinta.
01:02:46This is it.
01:02:48This one? This is the one.
01:02:50The quality on that
01:02:52is unreal. I look like, I feel like I'm
01:02:54in the TV. It's beautiful.
01:02:56Look how thin that is. That's stunning.
01:02:58I can picture this on Pete and Lara's wall.
01:03:00I don't know much about TVs. I know you're looking at it
01:03:02from a different point of view, but I'm looking
01:03:04at it from style, and I think
01:03:06this, look how seamless it is.
01:03:08Well, I've done the research, and this is
01:03:10the TV.
01:03:12Jordan's hoping if he puts up that good
01:03:14karma by getting everyone a good TV,
01:03:16the favour gets returned.
01:03:18Send one to Punchbowl, please, and we'll
01:03:20take one for Bill Raising.
01:03:22Follow me, let's go.
01:03:24Jacinta and Jordan
01:03:26aren't the only ones hitting the shops.
01:03:28With only another week
01:03:30and a half until judging,
01:03:32couples from both houses
01:03:34are busy spending their design budgets
01:03:36to create those winning rooms.
01:03:40Hello!
01:03:42I like it. It's really earthy.
01:03:44So how do you like it on the screen?
01:03:46It's really great.
01:03:48Yeah, if we go this one above the island.
01:03:50Looks good to me.
01:03:52Yep, they're all focused on
01:03:54getting Lara and Peter's.
01:03:56We're going to need six of them.
01:03:58And Jacinta and Jordan's design briefs.
01:04:00White. Comfortable.
01:04:02I like it. Just right.
01:04:04I went onto your website and did the
01:04:06bathroom planner.
01:04:10Ace. Done.
01:04:20Across town, Lara is
01:04:22taking Peter to look for the perfect
01:04:24piece of marble for their dining room.
01:04:26Wow.
01:04:28That's so cool.
01:04:30Even I like that. That's mad.
01:04:32This week, they're also designing
01:04:34Jordan and Jacinta's master bedroom
01:04:36with the walk-in robe.
01:04:38But it's the dining room
01:04:40where they'll be focusing most of their attention.
01:04:42This place is what Jacinta
01:04:44dreams about.
01:04:46Lara and Peter's dining room
01:04:48will feature a long eight-seater
01:04:50timber table with a large
01:04:52brass pendant hanging over it.
01:04:54But it's the bar they plan to
01:04:56blow the judges away with.
01:04:58It will feature built-in cabinetry
01:05:00and in the middle,
01:05:02a huge piece of marble.
01:05:04My brief is five-star, luxury,
01:05:06sexy, hotel vibes.
01:05:08I'm getting in there.
01:05:10Yeah, get in there. Have a touch.
01:05:12Have a feel. That's an expensive ice pack.
01:05:16I feel like if I walked into a
01:05:18five-star, luxury, sexy hotel
01:05:20vibes, and they had some bar
01:05:22feature, it wouldn't be a plain marble
01:05:24bar. It'd be something
01:05:26striking. There actually is another
01:05:28option down here as well, if you'd like to see.
01:05:30Yes, please. That's just over
01:05:32here. My gosh,
01:05:34it's so stunning.
01:05:36Wow.
01:05:40Yeah, I reckon.
01:05:42It is very,
01:05:44very cool.
01:05:46I think it's...
01:05:48I'm nervous, excited.
01:05:50This is literally what you want.
01:05:52Done.
01:05:54Done.
01:05:56I'm out.
01:06:02Lara's not the only one
01:06:04who's made a bold decision.
01:06:06Back on site at Punchbowl...
01:06:08See, this is our TV cabinet wall.
01:06:10Our two windows.
01:06:12Hannah and Johnny have
01:06:14just discovered one that Taylor and Ellie
01:06:16have made. I know that Taylor
01:06:18and Ellie have got the world's biggest island.
01:06:20And it looks like their
01:06:22bench comes right up to the border of their
01:06:24space, so I don't know where they're going to put seats.
01:06:26Hannah and
01:06:28Johnny are doing the living room this week,
01:06:30which borders Taylor and Ellie's kitchen.
01:06:32They need to allow enough
01:06:34space between them for a walkway.
01:06:36Something the sisters don't
01:06:38seem to have done.
01:06:40So this is the border of our
01:06:42space. Yeah.
01:06:44It's massive. We've marked down
01:06:46the proverbial centre
01:06:48of the room, and we've come into
01:06:50a bit of an issue.
01:06:52We're really worried
01:06:54that you've given a really giant
01:06:56island and left not enough
01:06:58space for a thoroughfare.
01:07:00Apparently
01:07:02there's this to get through.
01:07:04Yeah.
01:07:06Maybe you guys maybe should
01:07:08have spoke to us a little bit before you ordered.
01:07:10We could
01:07:12turn around and say, well, I'm really
01:07:14sorry, but you can't have two couches
01:07:16running this way. You're going to have to
01:07:18have the couch running with the back to the
01:07:20island, and then it all fits.
01:07:22I think the judges are going to
01:07:24say to you guys,
01:07:26why did you make the island so big?
01:07:28I just feel
01:07:30like they're being dishonest.
01:07:32They are trying to win so much
01:07:34that they are taking this competition to just
01:07:36great heights to do anything that
01:07:38will benefit them, that they keep
01:07:40doing these things that is making them look like the
01:07:42bad guys. I also don't want
01:07:44Geraldine and Jacinta to walk in and be like,
01:07:46how do we get to the door?
01:07:48Yeah, let
01:07:50me see where I can get more space.
01:07:52I honestly don't think
01:07:54we'll both get judged harshly.
01:07:56400 by 220
01:07:58by 105.
01:08:00But we've decided to
01:08:02essentially pick our battles.
01:08:08We have some
01:08:10news about the island.
01:08:12Oh, that's great.
01:08:14We thought we'd just move it further into your space
01:08:16and then just see.
01:08:18So we're going to move
01:08:20it so we only have a meter off our joinery,
01:08:22which from your space to our space is like
01:08:24890 for the walkway passage.
01:08:26Cool.
01:08:28I think Taylor and Ali definitely
01:08:30were helping themselves. I don't
01:08:32know if it was because I pointed out that they would have
01:08:34got scolded and judging or what,
01:08:36but that's awesome.
01:08:38I love that for us.
01:08:40They don't want to just get third or second, they want to
01:08:42win.
01:08:50We are now
01:08:52seven days into the build and
01:08:54after a stressful start to the week,
01:08:56Jordan and Jacinta's house in
01:08:58Punchbowl has turned from an asbestos
01:09:00ridden mud pit to
01:09:02a dream home in the making.
01:09:04And you guys
01:09:06work around that, is that alright?
01:09:08After losing
01:09:10four precious days,
01:09:12Hannah and Johnny
01:09:16Taylor and Ali
01:09:20and Lara and Peter
01:09:24are working hard
01:09:26to make up for lost time.
01:09:28This is the most ridiculous thing I've
01:09:30ever been a part of in my life.
01:09:32After struggling with Jacinta's design brief
01:09:34for a week, Lara is
01:09:36on top of the world.
01:09:38I think that deserves a smooch.
01:09:40I like cuddles.
01:09:42She and Peter
01:09:44went out on a pretty big limb and
01:09:46bought a massive and expensive
01:09:48slab of marble as
01:09:50the wow factor for their dining room.
01:09:52We had
01:09:54a safe-er option with the marble
01:09:56and then we had a
01:09:58punch-it-in-the-face
01:10:00option with the marble.
01:10:02And I just felt like I'd punch you in the face.
01:10:04But with their dining room sharing an open
01:10:06space with Hannah and Johnny's living room
01:10:08and Taylor and Ali's kitchen,
01:10:10Lara's worried what they might
01:10:12think.
01:10:14What's cracking?
01:10:16What's happening?
01:10:18Getting deliveries. Everything arrived at once.
01:10:20You're lucky.
01:10:22Yeah, right. At least you're organised.
01:10:24At least you're getting stuff coming.
01:10:26What's happening? We've picked some marble.
01:10:28That one?
01:10:30Oh, yeah.
01:10:32You like it? It's so sick.
01:10:34You did good, Lara.
01:10:36You did good. Pretty spesh.
01:10:38I think we just needed to know that somebody
01:10:40else thought that it was as cool as we did.
01:10:42But will the sisters
01:10:44feel the same? Here you two are.
01:10:46What's happening in here?
01:10:48Hello. Welcome to my office.
01:10:50You guys want to buy TV?
01:10:52It is a bit like that, isn't it?
01:10:54We picked some marble.
01:10:58We think that this is
01:11:00a good choice.
01:11:02There she is.
01:11:04Wow.
01:11:06Holy moly. That's loud
01:11:08and proud.
01:11:10It's literally, it is so loud.
01:11:12You actually can't...
01:11:14I'm struggling to
01:11:16think of another natural stone
01:11:18or marble that
01:11:20is as loud.
01:11:22It's like a real
01:11:24deep burgundy,
01:11:26purpley colour.
01:11:28And sticking with the marble, there was
01:11:30ones that were just super plain.
01:11:32And this one, we just kept coming back to
01:11:34and we thought it was cool.
01:11:36The marble that Lara has chosen
01:11:38is completely competing
01:11:40against what's happening in the kitchen.
01:11:42It's not even the same family.
01:11:46If there's too many competing factors,
01:11:48it's actually going to be very
01:11:50sensory overload and you won't know
01:11:52where to look.
01:11:56When Taylor
01:11:58and Ellie comment on the marble, you're not too
01:12:00sure how much of that
01:12:02to take in because you're just not
01:12:04sure where the agenda lies.
01:12:08I think that if I was doing
01:12:10the dining room, I would
01:12:12probably go for a bold one.
01:12:18I feel like we've
01:12:20maybe like
01:12:22I think we've tipped over the edge a bit.
01:12:26You know,
01:12:28Ellie and Taylor could be saying what they're saying
01:12:30because they don't want our space to be
01:12:32amazing and they think our marble is epic
01:12:34and it's just going to be the star of the show.
01:12:36Or they could legitimately be thinking that
01:12:38it's going to be overwhelming, which is how I feel.
01:12:42I'm sensing that you are
01:12:44confused. You didn't say
01:12:46I love this stone. I do love
01:12:48the stone and I love it, but I'm
01:12:50very nervous that it's not the right one
01:12:52in the house with what else is
01:12:54going on. I also don't know if Taylor's just
01:12:56saying that because she doesn't want your marble
01:12:58to be like wowsers.
01:13:00All of this is going through my head.
01:13:02It's really hard to trust anyone's opinion now
01:13:04because everyone's fighting hard.
01:13:06Everyone here wants to get above
01:13:08that line if they're not already there.
01:13:10You've got to go with your gut.
01:13:12That is wow.
01:13:14I don't know what is right
01:13:16and it's really stressing me out.
01:13:18Next time...
01:13:20It's a mosh pit and everyone's like...
01:13:24Everyone's taking big risks
01:13:26with wow factors.
01:13:28We're pushing for 10. We want 10 out of 10.
01:13:30In the hope of
01:13:32making it to the top three.
01:13:34The world's most expensive bed
01:13:36is also the world's
01:13:38most problematic bed.
01:13:40Mel turns up the heat.
01:13:42It was hotter than the core of the earth.
01:13:44You're kidding me. It's too hot.
01:13:46But...
01:13:48Has she melted
01:13:50the new designer bed?
01:13:52Oh my gosh. I am
01:13:54petrified.
01:13:56After Taylor and Ellie spend up
01:13:58big... We no longer have enough
01:14:00trade budget to cover the trades work.
01:14:02Can we just have five minutes?
01:14:04The sisters ask to borrow
01:14:06even more cash.
01:14:08We have a pretty
01:14:10effing dire situation.
01:14:12There's a sense of entitlement.
01:14:14Our spaces start to come together
01:14:16and people start to feel threatened.
01:14:18I feel like we just always keep
01:14:20getting taken for a ride.
01:14:22We're just being let down so much.
01:14:24God.
