FunTranscript
00:00Tonight on The Block.
00:05I'm not enthused.
00:06We're doing a kid's bedroom.
00:07Yeah, so at the moment, we're treading water on a kid's room.
00:10I was never planning kids.
00:14Guest Bedroom Week gets into gear.
00:15This is the first week I am first in line for Truecore Tuesdays.
00:20I'm not letting anyone go ahead of me.
00:21Where is my Truecore?
00:23Always hustling to try and be on schedule.
00:25How did you get first?
00:27I all of a sudden became publicly number one.
00:30Just confirming that we're first in line to get our steal.
00:33But by the end of the day, one house will no longer have a builder.
00:38I'm not having people talk about me behind my back.
00:41And one house will no longer have a room.
00:45So the three main things that you build a room around, we can't get.
00:49I had to pre-order my bed like three weeks ago from Create a State.
00:53I, at this point, don't think we're going to have a completed room.
01:08It's day two of second guest bedroom week.
01:13And for the boys in house three, the new week comes with a new wingman.
01:19Two-time block contestant and highly skilled builder, Duncan Miller.
01:24Duncan's the best of the best.
01:26His team, they're like SAS.
01:28You know, they're special operatives.
01:30And deliver winning rooms.
01:34Morning.
01:35Hi, brother.
01:36Sorry, we're early.
01:38Absolutely not, mate.
01:40We're keen.
01:41Good. Yeah, boys.
01:43We're keen. All right.
01:45Now, is this going to be the normal way we greet each other in the morning?
01:48No.
01:49I hope you've got undies on.
01:53Yeah.
01:54WHISTLE BLOWS
02:03Bright and early.
02:04I think this week has been the most challenging week for us.
02:09But...
02:11..I feel like, you know, when you kind of hit rock bottom, you can only go up.
02:14After another bad day yesterday...
02:16No-one f***ing listens to me.
02:18I wasn't listening to you. Mm, yeah, I'm sure you were.
02:19Cut your attitude out.
02:21Paige has woken up on a mission to get her groove back.
02:28Where are you going, man?
02:29I've got to run to Chadston.
02:31What do they call Chadston?
02:33The shopping capital of Australia.
02:37Is this breakfast?
02:38This is breakfast.
02:40Breakfast on the go.
02:41My breakfast is always just soy milk.
02:42Yeah.
02:44It's amazing. Thank you so much, Tina. Have a good day.
02:46Yeah.
02:49The plan for today is buying some bedding.
02:52And then whilst I'm at Chadston, I may as well stock up on my moisturiser.
02:58♪ Save your tears for another day
03:00♪ Save your tears for another day
03:05♪ Ooh
03:07♪ Save your tears for another day
03:13I didn't have any intentions to shop whilst I was there.
03:17And then I saw my favourite shoe store.
03:20The sandals looked great on my feet.
03:22They were $150 up.
03:24So I bought them.
03:26And then I thought I may as well pick up my night cream.
03:31And I went to a few other stores as well.
03:34Got some throws.
03:37And I bought my sheets.
03:39I wanted to go into Ralph Lauren as well, but they were shut when I got there.
03:44And I compromised because I walked back past them on the way out.
03:47And I said, no, I need to get back to site.
03:52Where's my round of applause?
03:57Have you got a plan for your room yet?
03:59Yes.
04:01Now that I've bought my sheets, I see everything so clearly.
04:05Hit me.
04:07So the sheets are this beautiful kind of Parisian dollhouse vibe.
04:16Really plays into that modern colonial bit.
04:18It's fun because it's a kid.
04:20It all came together pretty quickly.
04:22Paige's pink and green sheets are at the heart of her Parisian dollhouse girls' bedroom,
04:27which will have gingham wallpaper and they're decided on a bespoke study desk.
04:33When I did get back, Jesse spotted the bag really quickly.
04:37What's that?
04:39A pair of shoes.
04:45Paige always comes home.
04:46What would you get?
04:47I've got a really good discount.
04:48They're $150 off.
04:50Yeah, so what was the final price?
04:52Like nothing.
04:53See how she didn't say the price?
04:55How nice are they, though?
04:56Look.
04:57They're really nice.
04:58I actually feel like going back and getting them in black, too.
05:01I really should have done that.
05:11Someone else who would probably benefit from some retail therapy is Kylie and House 4.
05:20I'm not going to lie.
05:21I'm not going to lie.
05:22I'm not going to lie.
05:23I'm not going to lie.
05:24I'm not going to lie.
05:26A little bit about it.
05:29Yesterday, property experts,
05:31Marty Fox, CEO of White Fox Real Estate,
05:34and Alice Stoltz of Domain strongly suggested
05:37that Kylie and Brad do a kids' bedroom this week.
05:40If you can, consider having bunks
05:43or having the ability to sleep with two king singles.
05:48And Kylie was having none of it.
05:50I wasn't aiming it at families.
05:52Like, yeah, but no.
05:53Like, not a kids' kids' room.
05:56Everyone's trying to give me hope.
05:58You've got kids.
05:59You've got this.
06:00Like, clearly, you'll know what you're doing.
06:02You've got four kids, Sarah?
06:03Yeah.
06:04Like, you guys are probably the heart of who this might appeal to.
06:08Which means more pressure,
06:09because if I present a kids' room that isn't functional and doesn't make sense,
06:14then they're going to be like,
06:15and they're the only family that actually have kids,
06:17and that's what they've given us.
06:19So she threw her toys out of the cot
06:21and spent the afternoon asleep on her bedroom floor.
06:28You OK, Kylie?
06:30She's asleep in the room.
06:32She's asleep?
06:33Or laying down.
06:34She won't talk to anyone.
06:36She'll pretend to be asleep.
06:37And this morning, she decided to take Marty and Alice's advice anyway.
06:42Still trying to get my head around kids.
06:45Kids?
06:46I was never planning kids.
06:47Somewhat reluctantly.
06:50What are we doing with the room?
06:52Yeah, well, you're not very enthused about it, that's for sure.
06:54I'm not enthused.
06:55We're doing a kids' bedroom.
06:56Yeah, so at the moment, we're treading water on a kids' room.
07:01The 11th Hour Kids' Bedroom will feature a double bunk bed,
07:04hanging chair, wallpaper in a brush-straight pattern,
07:07and a built-in robe in Kylie's signature black.
07:14I can't wait for Sunday.
07:16I can't wait for Sunday.
07:22Tuesdays are all about getting the Truecore walls up,
07:25which are being made on site.
07:28The rule is, whoever gets their plans in first,
07:31gets their walls up first,
07:33and a head start on getting their room finished.
07:37House one, number one, Truecore Tuesdays.
07:41This is the first week I am first in line for Truecore Tuesdays.
07:45I'm not letting anyone go ahead of me.
07:47I'll leave this floor all day,
07:49just so no one else gets their walls.
07:52That's how petty I'll be.
07:54This is my one chance to be number one on Truecore Tuesdays.
07:57I'm not taking that away from myself.
07:59I'm in front of the queue.
08:00I dictate the speed of the Truecore.
08:04And I love it.
08:05But I was a wanted man.
08:06My position was wanted.
08:09Today, we've got to try and get our Truecore walls up
08:13as fast as we can
08:14to see if we can't get plastering this afternoon.
08:18Plasterer's coming at lunchtime.
08:20Brad likes to be before schedule,
08:22and if he's not, he's by his own schedule,
08:24which is already a day behind.
08:26We were ready for frames yesterday.
08:28You were hustling to try and get him first, weren't you?
08:30Always hustling to try and get him first.
08:33It's a lot of work.
08:35You were hustling to try and get him first, weren't you?
08:37Always hustling to try and be on schedule
08:39and be as efficient as possible, yeah.
08:41Where is my Truecore?
08:43Brad will only get his walls once Jesse's are complete.
08:46So he sends his builder, Benny,
08:48over to check how close House 1 is to being ready for walls.
08:52I'm just going to set this **** up.
09:06How'd it go?
09:07Have they got their floor down?
09:08Nah, no in-so-in, no floor inspection yet,
09:11no subfloor inspection yet.
09:14So I know House 4, Brad and Kylie,
09:16had their subfloor done.
09:18They were ready for walls.
09:19They could see we actually didn't have
09:21our chipboard sheets down, our flooring down yet,
09:24and they've approached me.
09:25We need to have the sticks first,
09:27and if all four sticks are ready...
09:30Asked if they can jump the queue.
09:32That was second.
09:33They want to go first.
09:34How did you get first?
09:35Because we were first ones in the office yesterday.
09:38Pete came around as soon as he rocked up yesterday,
09:41and we had it all ready for him already
09:43because we were sticking to that.
09:44I kind of said, yeah, mate, yeah, nah.
09:46Nah, no chance.
09:48So I all of a sudden became the villain.
09:52Public enemy number one.
09:54Public enemy number one.
09:55Are you finished, ready?
09:56Yeah, we don't need installation.
09:57Hey, Peter, how you going?
09:58Good, buddy, how are you?
09:59Good, mate.
10:00Hey, I'm just down at your little station,
10:02and just confirm that we're first in line to get our steel.
10:05I wasn't going to stand there and have that argument with him,
10:08because obviously standing around doing nothing
10:10is not very productive.
10:11So house floors builders, put my walls together.
10:15What are you doing, Brad?
10:18Making it faster.
10:20We built as much of house one's walls
10:22that we needed to for ours to start getting made,
10:25and then we started making our walls.
10:28Right, on the ground.
10:29Go.
10:43Had our walls up before Jesse even come down looking for his walls.
10:47Our floor's done, so I'm just going to see when they're ready.
10:50They've been ready for ages, mate.
10:52Who's that?
10:53Jesse.
10:54He's like, house floors are done, so I'm just seeing if ours are ready.
10:57How you going, Josh?
10:58What's the ET on house one's walls?
11:01Are they getting delivered, or do we take them?
11:03Are they getting delivered, or do we take them?
11:05OK, great. Perfect. Thank you.
11:07I had a pretty damn good smile on my face walking down that street.
11:11We're done, mate.
11:12Yeah, nice. How good?
11:13But he was still second.
11:16Did you make his walls straight?
11:18Well, it's truecore.
11:19It's pretty hard not to screw them together straight.
11:21I'm breaking free from all these insecurities.
11:26Things are quieter over at house two
11:28as Courtney and Grant are travelling back after a night away
11:31for their Winners of Grinners dinner in Sorrento.
11:34Out there, builders have started making a little bit of noise
11:37claiming they haven't been paid a single dollar
11:40since they started four weeks ago.
11:42He said he was going to pay during the day yesterday,
11:44and then he said, I'll pay tonight when I get away on the laptop.
11:47And that's fine, but we still haven't seen anything.
11:51At the moment, we are in the negative.
11:53$12,000 to $13,000.
11:54We haven't got one cent off for a year.
11:56Nothing, zero.
11:57Nothing, zero.
11:58We don't know if this is a 24-hour processing time,
12:01is this a 48-hour processing time?
12:03But week one was due three weeks ago.
12:06And we know they've got the money.
12:08Yeah, well, hopefully they do.
12:10Also, we've got a bigger problem.
12:12They've got a quarter of a mil, and they just won $10,000.
12:14They won $20,000 yesterday, they won another $10,000 from Greece.
12:17We're negative $13,000.
12:20And it's four weeks late.
12:35At the blob, Courtney and Grant's builders are speaking up
12:38about not being paid for the last three weeks of work.
12:41At the moment, we are in the negative.
12:43$12,000 to $13,000.
12:44We haven't got one cent off for a year.
12:46Nothing, zero.
12:47Nothing, zero.
12:48I'm going to pay during the day yesterday,
12:50and then I'll pay tonight when I get away on the laptop.
12:53And that's fine, but we still haven't seen anything.
12:56We're negative $13,000.
12:58Week one was due three weeks ago.
13:01This is not good news, because on the block,
13:04we encourage teams to pay their builders on Sunday
13:07once the room is complete to help keep track of the budget.
13:13For example, here is House 5's accounts for the first three weeks.
13:17If you're unpaid on the Sunday, the room is completed.
13:20Here is House 2.
13:22So I'll ask you for absolute clarity.
13:24Did you pay your builders?
13:26Yes, we paid our builders.
13:29OK, so week one invoice has been paid,
13:31but only yesterday afternoon.
13:33And it takes 24 hours to hit the builders' accounts,
13:36so they haven't received it yet.
13:43Hello. Hello.
13:45The builders, they were just saying
13:47how they haven't been paid yet at all this season by Cotton Gran.
13:52He's the guy that doesn't pay people.
13:54What's still going on with that?
13:56He hasn't paid a cent. Really?
13:58Not for week one, two or three. Not $1.
14:01Have the other builders been paid?
14:03Apparently they get paid, if not same day, it's the next day.
14:06Hey, Mem, have you paid your builders?
14:08Yeah, every Sunday. Every Sunday?
14:10As soon as they send the invoice.
14:12Can we work for you?
14:16Morning.
14:21Courtney and Grant are rolling in fashionably late
14:23to house two this morning after their Ford getaway to Sorrento.
14:27Oh, my gosh, we've got walls!
14:31The builders have made good progress
14:33on Courtney and Grant's modern Mediterranean-style guest bedroom,
14:36which will feature an architectural curve on the wall behind the bed.
14:41And before getting back into it, Courtney needs a coffee.
14:45Hello, darling. Welcome back to the island.
14:48So I went up to a cafe, spoke to Tina,
14:51and she says, oh, yeah, with the builders
14:53and how you're not paying your invoices.
14:55I'm like, what do you mean? So I'm like, how does Tina know?
14:58Who said that? Maybe your elders?
15:00Who? Maybe your builders?
15:03It was literally paid last night.
15:05I reckon... Two days ago.
15:07Oh, well, did they not know that?
15:09He reckons he hasn't been paid at all.
15:11Unless he's taken the piss.
15:13He's saying he has...
15:15Yeah.
15:17I just don't understand.
15:19And then as soon as I heard that, I then texted you.
15:23That the bill wasn't paid.
15:29It's like a f***ing drama.
15:31Do you need another coffee?
15:41No, I don't.
15:43Are you paying your bills?
15:45Yes, that's what I came to talk to you about.
15:47It was all paid yesterday.
15:49Oh, was it? Yeah.
15:51Did he mention it today?
15:53Yeah. Miscommunication.
15:55He's a snake.
15:57So you paid him yesterday?
15:59I just wanted to know when he said it, that's all.
16:01No, are you going to keep him?
16:03No. Thank you. I'll speak to you soon.
16:11So what was this today about you
16:13telling people about me not paying
16:15since I have paid your invoice yesterday?
16:17Me? Yeah. Who'd I tell?
16:19Oh, well, apparently you've told Dan, you've told Tina,
16:21the coffee lady, producers, and...
16:23Yeah, you haven't paid.
16:25No, but I did.
16:27We haven't received anything.
16:29I don't understand what the point was to go to other people.
16:31What? People ask questions. Have you been paid?
16:33Oh, does Tina ask questions? Yeah, she does.
16:35Oh, does she? Yeah. She asks, have you been paid? Yeah.
16:37We don't want you talking behind our backs.
16:39I'll talk to you up front.
16:41I'm telling you now.
16:43You haven't talked to me up front.
16:45Calm down.
16:47You're not talking to me up front.
16:49You're going behind my back to talk.
16:51I'm not having people talk about me behind my back
16:53about something that's not f***ing true as well
16:55and has the invoice been paid?
16:57You would have known both of them had been paid yesterday.
16:59Nothing comes to me, man.
17:01Well, you could have come to me before you started talking to other people.
17:03It is what it is.
17:05Your mistake in my eyes, it's gone from there.
17:07Your entire true opinion.
17:09I think this escalated beyond it needed to escalate.
17:11Yeah, well, you've done that, Chris.
17:13So, thank you.
17:15I don't think it's all his fault.
17:17I don't think it's... He can't take the rap.
17:19No, no, no, he could have come to me.
17:21He could have come to me and said, when are we getting paid?
17:23If there was a problem, I think you'd come to me.
17:25Instead, you've tried to snake me behind my back,
17:27talk to other people.
17:28That's, it's...
17:29No, no, no, you've tried to talk to other people,
17:30he's tried, not you, he's tried,
17:32Chris has tried to talk to other people
17:33instead of coming to me and say,
17:34hey, have they been paid?
17:35He would've known they would've been paid,
17:37but instead, you spread the rumor that,
17:38hey, this guy doesn't pay us.
17:40You know what?
17:41I'm calling it from now.
17:42Don't come back on Thursday.
17:44I don't need yous.
17:45It's all good.
17:46I'm done, thanks for everything,
17:47but I'm not having you on site.
17:48You're a snake.
17:50Forget it.
17:54Are you all right?
17:55It's all right, it's all right.
17:57You know, like...
17:59Don't cry.
18:00It's gonna be all right.
18:01I didn't want to get to this point, like...
18:02Yeah, neither did I.
18:08We don't have a backup plan,
18:10we don't have a builder.
18:11I'll figure that part out.
18:12I just know when I can't work with somebody,
18:14and today was that day.
18:15I'll leave you to it.
18:20My wife, it's a decision, it's a decision, man.
18:26I just feel really bad.
18:28I know.
18:29I'm very glad I stuck to my gut.
18:32They all needed to go.
18:34I didn't want it to come to that point.
18:35Neither did I.
18:36I'm sorry.
18:37I'm sorry.
18:38I'm sorry.
18:38I'm sorry.
18:39I'm sorry.
18:40I'm sorry.
18:41I'm sorry.
18:42I'm sorry.
18:43I'm sorry.
18:44I'm sorry.
18:44I'm sorry.
18:46I didn't.
18:47But I'm not going to have him and his,
18:48I'm not going to have his team
18:49talk about me behind my back.
18:51You know what?
18:52At the end of this, I just hope you get paid, bro.
18:56You know, I just, that's all I want.
18:58I hope so.
18:59You know.
19:06Oh my gosh, that is outstanding.
19:07Ah!
19:09She likes it too!
19:10See how our all-stars, Dan and Danni,
19:12raid the Blockheads' rooms
19:13when they award their weekly champs and chumps.
19:16Who are your champs?
19:17Exclusively at the Block website.
19:25This week's brief is to design a guest bedroom.
19:28More specifically, a kid's bedroom for any house
19:31that hasn't already done one.
19:33And while some are less enthusiastic.
19:36I'm not enthused.
19:39House 5's Mimi is in her element.
19:43A kid's room should feel...
19:45Fun.
19:46Fun, playful, cosy, alive.
19:51I'm a millennial.
19:53What does that mean?
19:54I just get bored really easily at my attention span.
19:57I just need things happening in my face.
20:06Mimi the millennial is off to 40 Wings in Melbourne
20:09to lock in beds for her kid's room.
20:13Can't stop, won't stop.
20:16Found what I was looking for.
20:18But without the bedhead and a different colour.
20:20So if Mimi can get the beds in white with lower bedheads,
20:23the room will look like this.
20:26Can't stop, won't stop.
20:28As you walk in, you'll see the two beds.
20:31Beautiful cloud-shaped bedhead that goes across a whole wall.
20:35And then graphico rainbow.
20:37Can't stop.
20:39Mimi's a yes kid.
20:40Well, you're the perfect person to build a kid's bedroom then.
20:42Yes!
20:47Fellow millennial House One's Paige
20:49is also trying to find beds for her kid's room
20:52and has her heart set on something she found on the Freedom website.
20:56Let's go.
21:01I'm just chasing some rattan arch headboards
21:07and I was wondering if it's possible to get those delivered to site
21:10or to come pick them up at all?
21:12Let me get on the website. Do you know the name of them?
21:15Yeah, so it's rattan arch decal headboard
21:18and it would be two of them in a single.
21:22The bedhead Paige is interested in is decal,
21:25meaning it sticks to the wall, but Paige doesn't realise that yet.
21:30Are there decals?
21:34I think... I don't know what decal is, but...
21:37So the decal means it, like, sticks to the wall?
21:40Oh, it's not an actual headboard.
21:42While things are not quite what they seem for Paige...
21:45Without the bed...
21:47..Mimi has high expectations of what she can get
21:50with four days to reveal, one of them being a public holiday.
21:54I'm wondering if I could change the colour.
21:58Unfortunately, that's the only colour that comes in.
22:00No!
22:03Cue the millennial meltdown.
22:08F***!
22:10I want this bed, but not this colour.
22:13Why the f*** would you ever have a bedhead that is a sticker?
22:18I feel defeated.
22:19All of this is just f***.
22:21I hate my life.
22:23No problem. Easy done.
22:25But then I literally looked at it and I was like,
22:27you know what? I can make this work.
22:32Who are you calling? Damien from Grafico.
22:34Hi, Damien. How are you?
22:36Good, Paige.
22:37I've bought them two trundle beds.
22:40And we thought that we could get them changed
22:43in terms of the colour.
22:45But we can't.
22:46And it's like a teal...
22:48Oh, OK. ..and a clash with the rainbow.
22:52And if you could, like, kind of build a rainbow off of that,
22:56and then I can style it.
22:58Do you want to sort of change all the colours
23:00to a more tealy tone?
23:02Yeah.
23:03Send it through as soon as you can.
23:04Yeah, I just sent it now.
23:05Oh, here it is. Here it is. Here it is.
23:07Oh, yeah, that's... OK.
23:08Yeah, got it. We can change it.
23:10It all works out, and I have faith in this teal colour.
23:15Cos it kind of goes with the other room.
23:17I believe in myself.
23:22While one millennial gets a win...
23:26..the other is still processing the disappointment
23:29that her chosen bedhead is a wall sticker.
23:32We were looking for the past hour for any bedheads that would match.
23:35Couldn't find any, so I was just...
23:39..stressed.
23:40And on top of that,
23:42Paige's surge has been interrupted by an appointment
23:45with Ray Whitecow.
23:47I just feel really...
23:48..because I'm in a really...mood,
23:50and I don't want to put it on these people.
23:52Just...this is a different topic. Focus on that, not...
23:54Oh, thank you. Thank you.
23:56I didn't know it was a different topic.
23:58I just need a minute. I'm so...angry.
24:01Here we go. Three, two, one.
24:03OK.
24:04Thank you so much.
24:06It's so good.
24:08Hello!
24:10Do you know if any other houses
24:12have gone and spoken to these guys yet?
24:15I don't think any houses have spoken to Ray White yet.
24:19That's just my inkling.
24:21Mm.
24:22Uh, you might be able to find out
24:25if any of the other houses have spoken to Ray White yet.
24:28Uh, you might want to double-check that
24:31with some of your neighbours.
24:32Who have you got? Ray White?
24:34We're going Ray White. OK. Fantastic.
24:36Paige is not winning at life today.
24:39It's...
24:41Coming up...
24:43It's going to be a wild ride, I think.
24:46Let's go, girls.
24:47A block party bus hits Melbourne.
24:49Yeah!
24:50Come on!
24:52We're giving him a taste of what 16 years looks like from now,
24:56when he's ferrying around Tilly and all of her girlfriends.
24:59This beat is...
25:00..automatic, supersonic, hypnotic, funky, fresh.
25:05But could House 1's bad luck streak...
25:07So, the three main things that you build a room around,
25:10we can't get.
25:11..mean another unfinished room?
25:15I, at this point, don't think we're going to have a completed room.
25:19No!
25:26MUSIC PLAYS
25:38Today will ideally be all sheeted, plastered and trowelled off,
25:42so I want to be sanding tonight, ideally.
25:46I mean, it'd be nice to put a lick of paint on, but ideally sanding.
25:53How did you sleep? I slept really well.
25:55I've been sleeping really well since we've been in the bed.
25:58Been up early, getting ready.
26:01How is your room going, like, the design and stuff?
26:04Oh, our...the one this week? Yeah.
26:07It's actually going really well.
26:09I'm very excited about it.
26:11It's going to be a kid's bedroom.
26:14Four kids. Well, if they're small kids, they can all sleep horizontally,
26:17so you can sleep, like, 20.
26:21How was your night last night?
26:23It wasn't too much, really, as you knew, so got a bit of an early one.
26:27Yeah, yeah. I got to shower last night on a tile floor.
26:32Wait, in your house? Yeah.
26:34Yay! Cos I thought you guys have been showering in there, but you haven't.
26:37No. So now you have water?
26:39Now we have hot water. Yeah.
26:42That's sick.
26:43My pastor's here. I'll see him out. Thank you.
26:45Bye. Hey, bud, how are ya?
26:47Yeah, I'm at the cafe. Turn around, mate.
26:49Turn around. Turn around. Turn around.
26:51MUSIC PLAYS
26:59Did I hear a rumour that you guys don't have a builder anymore?
27:03That's not a rumour.
27:04Yes, we don't have a builder anymore.
27:06I made the decision yesterday to get rid of my builders
27:08with no replacement, no potential builder in sight.
27:12That's how serious I was about not working with them again
27:14and proving the point that I had paid my invoice.
27:17So, you'll be right for this week, right? Like, this room?
27:20Yeah, this room will be fine.
27:21We've got the floor and wall structure up.
27:23Got plasterers in here today.
27:24After I get the plasterers set up today,
27:26priority number one would be to have a chat to a few people
27:29and see what their availability's like and go from there,
27:32make a few decisions.
27:33MUSIC PLAYS
27:39Morning, Brad. Morning.
27:41So, painting today? Yeah.
27:43Sounds like you guys are on track.
27:45Yeah, so far.
27:47Could be a little bit further along.
27:49But going pretty good.
27:51Going pretty good?
27:52House 4 is going very well
27:54because they snuck in plasterers after hours last night,
27:58which is a big no-no.
28:02What can you do, brother?
28:03Do you want anything?
28:05I'm going to go try and find some biscuits.
28:07So, last night, after the plasterers left,
28:09there was this guy who said he was going to get some biscuits.
28:12And there was a discussion about if he could start early in the morning.
28:16I said, you can't start before 7.
28:18So, which he asked, he's like,
28:20I can come back now and set it.
28:22So, I spoke to the security guard and said,
28:24like, is that going to be a problem?
28:26He said, no, that's fine.
28:28And he came back and top-coded.
28:32According to block rules,
28:34there are to be no tradies on site after tools down
28:37without a 9 and 6 supervisor also on site.
28:41So, the security guard doesn't run the site?
28:43No, the security guard doesn't run the site,
28:45but I thought he would liaise with 9 and 6,
28:47not thinking much further than that.
28:49Obviously, I should have spoken directly to someone with authority.
28:53It is what it is now.
28:56Dan? Simmo?
28:57What's happening?
28:58Oh, mate, I've come to face the music, I think.
29:01I just wanted to know, I guess, where I stand,
29:03what the repercussions are.
29:05Obviously, I'm not going to do it again, but...
29:09It's a bit sly, them coming down through the back as well
29:13and not even going past security.
29:15Yeah, right.
29:16I did speak to security about he wasn't aware,
29:18but I know that's not good enough either.
29:20I know that's not speaking to you.
29:22Especially when there's no supervision here.
29:24It's got the potential of shutting the whole block down.
29:26If, say, they injured themselves and we come in today,
29:29everyone's stopping work for a week or whatever.
29:32Yeah, right.
29:33So, it's put the block in jeopardy at the end of the day.
29:35Yeah, that's not good enough.
29:36We'll have a chat and we're going to come back down here.
29:38Yeah. Yeah?
29:39Yeah.
29:41Not good.
29:47This year's block is located on Phillip Island,
29:50two hours south of the CBD.
29:52Commuting to the city to shop is a bit of a nightmare.
29:56So, the girls have planned a full-day shopping trip
29:59to select key items for the next few weeks' rooms.
30:02And they've enlisted their own driver.
30:05We've got to drive safely today, Hayden.
30:07Yeah, I do. I know you do.
30:08Precious cargo. You're doing great, sweetie.
30:10Precious cargo.
30:15You OK?
30:16I don't know. I don't know if I'm all right.
30:18Are you all right?
30:19Yeah, look, it's going to be a wild ride.
30:28If I trust any man to take my wife on a road trip,
30:31it'd be Hayden. He's a good man.
30:34It feels quite nice to be driven around.
30:36It's not driven around chauffeured.
30:38Chauffeur H.
30:39He's another old girl. We call him Daddy.
30:43What?
30:44He's a dad now. So, he was like the dad of the trip.
30:48We're giving him a taste of what 16 years looks like from now
30:52when he's ferrying around Tilly and all of her girlfriends.
30:55I felt like I dodged a bullet for that whole scenario.
31:01Globe West.
31:03Get it, girl. I'm so excited.
31:06Oh, I love Globe West.
31:08Everyone, get out of my way. Move, bitch.
31:11So, I might have been a little bit extreme on my shopping trip
31:15and I may have taken over.
31:18This is beautiful. Does it come in a different shape?
31:21It comes in a black as well.
31:23This is nice. Yeah.
31:25The Chloe. Yeah.
31:27Yeah, this is really nice. Yeah.
31:29Yeah, yeah.
31:30Love that. Yeah.
31:31I'm just going to add all these things to my wish list.
31:34I wish I had more sponsorship dollars for Globe West.
31:37There was just really, really nice pieces.
31:39I'm just going to keep wandering. Yeah, perfect.
31:50Dan and I have had a bit of a chat.
31:53Yeah.
31:55And we think it's fair that there's no tools till 1 o'clock today
31:59and you're going to be re-inducted.
32:01And I'm going to be what, sorry?
32:03Re-inducted at 1. Everyone. Everyone.
32:06One up and again.
32:08All right, let's pack her up. Yeah.
32:18My love, everyone stood down until 1.
32:23Until 1 o'clock.
32:24And I need to be re-inducted and they all do too.
32:28Five-hour stand down.
32:30Heaps of fun.
32:31You're joking. No.
32:33So now cabinets go to the end of the line, so no-one's coming till 1.
32:38Flooring got pushed back.
32:40Yeah, so I pushed the flooring guy back from 12 to 1.
32:42We were really planning on painting all day today, so I'm a bit concerned.
32:47That's all right. I'll just organise the back area and stuff.
32:51All right, love you, bye.
32:52Love you, bye.
32:53What happened?
32:55We've been shut down until 1 o'clock.
32:57Till 1?
32:58Yeah, then they all have to be re-inducted.
33:00What?
33:01Even Brad.
33:02What?
33:03Yeah.
33:04Oh.
33:08Done now.
33:21In house three, Ricky and Hayden are the only team tackling two rooms,
33:26this week's bedroom and last week's disaster oven on switch.
33:30No reason why we can't finish two rooms this week.
33:33With so much on their plate, Duncan has an idea to keep the team going.
33:39Hey.
33:40Hey, I knew you'd like it.
33:42Hey, guys, look what I ordered you.
33:46It's about working smart, not hard.
33:50Let's go, girls.
33:51Come on, Hayden.
33:52Turn it off.
33:53Turn it off.
33:54Come on.
33:57Oh, look at you.
33:58Oh, my goodness.
34:01I do kind of like this chair.
34:02This is fun.
34:03It's a thinking chair.
34:06Oh, yeah.
34:10That is soft.
34:11This is really nice.
34:12I'll take the lot.
34:13Thank you so much.
34:14Thank you again, guys.
34:15Appreciate your time.
34:16Bye.
34:17Bye.
34:18While the girls have been having the time of their lives, it's been quite a different
34:23day for the boys back on site.
34:30Leave your name and number and I'll get back to you.
34:32G'day, mate.
34:33I'm in a bit of a predicament at the moment looking for a builder.
34:42The waterproofer.
34:43He's laid it on very thick.
34:45Still, as you can see, very wet.
34:48It's starting to get old, these waterproofing dramas.
34:54You've used the wrong insulation, so all that wall's got to come out.
34:57That little piece there, that's all going to be sound screen.
35:00Don't put the wrong insulation in.
35:02Mmm.
35:16Honestly, Tim Tams are just, I think they have to be one of the best chocolate biscuits
35:20in the world.
35:21It's not just Australia.
35:22The world knows about Tim Tams.
35:25They're so elite.
35:32My body's on the line.
35:40Hey, Shane.
35:41It's Grant, mate.
35:42I was hoping you could give us a call back when you get a moment.
35:45I just probably have to make sure I could actually get to it.
35:52I just want to finish this room, man.
35:54We're just going backwards.
35:56Yeah.
35:58I've spent so much time doing this wall.
36:03Oh, my God.
36:11I can't believe just, like, how much s*** you need for a kid's room.
36:15Have you found it difficult finding things that you like at certain suppliers?
36:19Yes.
36:20The pieces that we did want to order from the block shop were not available.
36:26We're not going to make it in time because of the short week.
36:28And we had found out whilst I was on the road trip.
36:32I just got told I can't get a bedside table.
36:34Why?
36:35Because it's the f***ing block shop.
36:36That's why.
36:37Literally, my three big-ticker items I can't get,
36:40so what am I doing with my whole f***ing room?
36:42I'm not using the block shop after this.
36:44F*** this.
36:47The block shop is our online store,
36:49which features hundreds of furniture and homeware suppliers.
36:52And our blockheads have a boatload of block bucks to spend there.
36:59With the block shop, we would also like to offer you a variety of vouchers.
37:04Beautiful.
37:05So, all in all, there's about 60,000 in vouchers there for you.
37:10That's Nadia.
37:11She runs the block shop.
37:12Thank you so much.
37:13Every week helps contestants source products in time for review.
37:17Nadia from the block shop is unreal.
37:19She is so, so, so helpful.
37:21Oh, my God, I love Nadia.
37:22I actually love Nadia, too.
37:23She's really cool.
37:24She's like our long-lost sister and Santa Claus, like, combined.
37:28But she can only work her magic if orders are placed well in advance,
37:32particularly if items are coming from the interstate.
37:36The earlier the better to order through block shop.
37:38That's why it's so important to be organised
37:40and to have a lead time of a couple of weeks.
37:44They want you to pre-order.
37:45I had to pre-order my bed, like, three weeks ago.
37:48Stay with my master one.
37:50I haven't even organised my master.
37:52Mine's coming from Queensland.
37:54What is?
37:55My bed head.
37:56Oh, that's nice.
37:57I got told anything from Queensland I can't get.
37:59I ordered it, like, last week, though.
38:05I think it's dawning on Paige
38:07that she placed her block shop orders for this week's rooms too late,
38:11just like she did with the bed head.
38:14I, at this point, don't think we're going to have a completed room.
38:19No, we'll be fine.
38:21I am so sick to my stomach of hearing open-ended fallacies.
38:28I don't want to hear... Do you know what?
38:30Just say something that's substantive.
38:32Well, when there's two of us, if I need to shoot out...
38:35That's OK, you can shoot out, but what are you going to buy?
38:39After receiving news that some key items from the block shop
38:42won't be delivered in time...
38:45..Jessie is on a solo mission to Melbourne to find replacements.
38:49So, the three main things that you build a room around, we can't get.
38:53So, we're pretty much looking for a bedside table, chairs,
38:57and we're also looking for...
39:00..a bed.
39:01A bed.
39:02A bed.
39:03A bed.
39:04A bed.
39:05A bed.
39:06A bed.
39:07We're looking for a decorative piece.
39:10Tell me what you want, what you need from me, baby.
39:16I can have a look around for a bedside table today.
39:19But it needs to be exactly like the one I picked.
39:23Yeah.
39:25And Nadia from the block shop is going out of her way to help.
39:30Hey, that bedside table that Paige wanted,
39:33you can actually get that from Freedom.
39:35OK, I'm actually heading to Freedom now,
39:37so I'll speak to them when I'm there.
39:39OK.
39:40Thank you, Nadia, thanks for your help.
39:41OK, no worries.
39:48How can I help?
39:49I'm after the Amy bedside table, and I can't go home without it.
39:53All right, so they are an online-only item.
39:58So, we're 110% not going to be able to get these?
40:01No.
40:02Let's check these chairs then.
40:05And they are from a separate supplier.
40:08So, also no chance?
40:09No, it would be, I would say, around a fortnight.
40:14No luck there, unfortunately.
40:23Hey, Nadia, how are you going?
40:24Good, how are you?
40:26Everything's kind of online-only, so...
40:28Even the other ones that I sent through to you?
40:31Yeah, yeah, we don't really like them.
40:34Oh, OK.
40:35I'm going to keep looking and keep hunting.
40:37OK, perfect.
40:38All right, thank you.
40:45Imagine not completing a room
40:46because you can't find the furniture you need.
40:50Do you want me to check out other stores?
40:52Yeah, please.
40:53Yes?
40:54Yeah, thank you.
40:55Thankfully, Emily at Freedom Frankston was straight on the phone
40:58and calling everyone to see what they had
40:59and finding other options for us, which was really, really great.
41:06So, I have reserved one for you at South Wharf.
41:10Which is in the heart of CBD.
41:12All right, thanks, Emily.
41:13Thanks, Jesse.
41:14See you later. Bye.
41:15It's a long drive.
41:22Melbourne traffic sucks.
41:29MUSIC STOPS
41:36I end up at the South Wharf DFO there,
41:38where I got lucky with two things.
41:41The little decorative piece and also a bedside table.
41:46I didn't get the chairs, but we got an order from the block shop,
41:49so we've got backup.
41:52If you rise, if you rise, if you rise
41:55Don't forget your past situation
41:58Back on site, fortunes are turning for the other boys.
42:02Brad and his team have been re-inducted.
42:05It won't be happening again.
42:06Thank you very, very much.
42:09Christian has finally gotten his insulation approved.
42:13That looks much better, mate.
42:15Eh?
42:17And Grant has jumped on High Pages
42:19and found himself a potential builder.
42:21God bless High Pages,
42:22because within a few minutes, three guys have popped up.
42:24Nice to chat, Grant.
42:25We'll see you tomorrow.
42:26Thank you so much, mate.
42:27Cheers. See you then.
42:36Didn't think I was going to go for 12 and a half hours today,
42:39so I definitely got more than I bargained for.
42:42What did you buy?
42:44I was driving, so touching your phone in Australia is highly illegal,
42:48so I didn't really get a lot of chance to plan out
42:50what I was going to buy
42:51whilst the girls planned out exactly what they were going to buy.
42:53So I didn't actually buy anything.
42:57F*** me dead.
43:01Long night.
43:05Honestly, we had such a good day.
43:06By the end of it, like, we came back, we're all dancing.
43:12Do you want to dance with the ball around your ass?
43:13We've got the space now.
43:14We were all on a different level.
43:19I think we've become a stronger couple.
43:21Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:23Yes.
43:25Warehouse 4.5.
43:27Back to usual programming.
43:28Yeah, because it's half of one.
43:30Kylie and Brad don't have enough kids.
43:32We need to adopt another.
43:34And where does Jessie fall into this situation?
43:36Jessie's not even here.
43:39We don't know where Jessie is.
43:40Where is Jessie? No one knows.
43:53We need to get our orders in for all living dining
43:57and master, like, tonight.
44:00For what, though?
44:02Furniture.
44:03We definitely need to get master in ASAP.
44:06Isn't that why you ordered today, or no?
44:08I didn't order anything today.
44:09Everyone else did.
44:10I didn't order anything.
44:12Ah.
44:14Have you noticed that other couples aren't coping with the pressure?
44:17We have.
44:18Yeah, we have, for sure.
44:19Yeah, definitely.
44:20In particular, last week.
44:21Yeah.
44:22Over the last week, it's been...
44:23I've heard Jessie and Paige fighting a bit.
44:25Yep.
44:26I think a lot of people are, yeah, noticing a bit of arguing from them, too.
44:29I've gone out of my way all day today to make things as easy as possible for us.
44:33Like...
44:35What has that got to do with me right now?
44:36It means, like, to make your life easier, to do things...
44:39That's great.
44:40So, to take the pressure off you.
44:42That's great.
44:43What has that got to do with anything?
44:46I've heard Paige and Jessie argue before on the phone,
44:49and then they kind of get over it, and, like,
44:51they're very respectful of each other, like, in front of people.
44:55I don't know what happens behind closed doors.
44:57And it's healthy to argue to an extent.
44:59But, yeah, sometimes it's getting extreme on the ball.
45:02What you always do is you take your anger on situations out on me.
45:07I'm venting to you.
45:08If I can't vent to you, who do I get to vent to?
45:11You're the one that takes it personally.
45:13I'm never making it personal.
45:15You're the one with hyper emotions who takes it personally.
45:20But whereas, like, we are...
45:21We'll just argue in front of people.
45:23We'll swear at each other.
45:24And then we're just normal, like...
45:26Then I usually go back to her in 10 minutes.
45:28Can we just be friends? It's just too hard to argue.
45:30And we'll laugh, and it's...
45:31I hate too many people in life.
45:32I don't need to hate my wife as well.
45:34I think the difference between our arguments and theirs
45:37is ours are a two-way street.
45:38Like, we give it to each other just as much as each other.
45:42These are people who want to fight it.
45:44I'm on your team. I want to support you.
45:46Don't say that. It's so cringe.
45:48I can't say anything.
45:49You can't say anything.
45:51Good job. You finally got it.
45:53You finally got it.
45:55You can't say anything.
45:56I don't need all this kumbaya.
45:59I don't.
46:01I don't feel like I belong here.
46:04You make me feel that way, and others make me feel that way.
46:09Honestly, I just, like, don't really feel
46:13like I can do this for two months.
46:15Like, quitting is not an option now.
46:17Says who?
46:21Tomorrow night, the guest bedroom build ramps up.
46:24We have to win.
46:25I love this room!
46:27Away you go.
46:28Have a good night.
46:30Rikki and Hayden's bathroom disaster continues.
46:33Oh, he's done it again.
46:35No, pull it out. Done again.
46:37Seriously, this isn't enjoyable.
