Transcript
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
16:55If you'd asked me on Instagram, has the invoice been paid,
16:57you would've known both of them had been paid yesterday.
16:59Nothing comes through, man.
17:01Well, you could've 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.
17:07You're entirely true, Pim.
17:09I think this escalated beyond what needed to escalate.
17:13Yeah, well, you've done that, Chris, so...
17:15No, no, I don't think it's all his fault.
17:17I don't think it's... He can't take the rap for it.
17:19No, no, no. He could've come to me.
17:21He could've 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.
17:29No, no, no. You've tried to talk to other people.
17:31Not you. Chris has tried to talk to other people
17:33instead of coming to me and saying, hey, have they been paid?
17:35He would've known they would've been f***ing paid.
17:37But instead, you spread the rumour that, hey, this guy doesn't f***ing pay us.
17:39You know what?
17:41I'm calling it from now. Don't come back on Thursday.
17:43I don't need you. It's all good.
17:45I'm done. Thanks for everything.
17:47But I'm not having you on site. You're a f***ing snake.
17:49Forget it.
17:51Are you all right?
17:53It's all right. It's all right.
17:55You know, like...
17:57Don't cry.
17:59It's going to be all right.
18:01I didn't want to get to this point.
18:03Yeah, neither did I.
18:07We don't have a backup plan.
18:09We don't have a builder.
18:11I'll figure that part out.
18:13I just know when I can't work with somebody,
18:15and today was that day.
18:17Okay.
18:25I'll leave you to it.
18:29Oh, well, if it's a decision, it's a decision, man.
18:35I just feel really bad.
18:37I know.
18:39I'm very glad I stuck to my gut.
18:41They all needed to go.
18:43I didn't want it to come to that point.
18:45Neither did I.
18:47I didn't, but I'm not going to have his team
18:49f***ing talk about me behind my back.
18:51You know what?
18:53At the end of this, I just hope you get paid by it.
18:57That's all I hope for.
19:05Oh, my gosh.
19:07That is outstanding.
19:09She likes it, too.
19:11See how our all-stars Dan and Danni
19:13award their weekly champs and jumps.
19:15Who are your champs?
19:17Exclusively at the Block website.
19:25This week's brief is to design a guest bedroom.
19:27More specifically,
19:29a kid's bedroom for any house
19:31that hasn't already done one.
19:33And while some are less enthusiastic...
19:35I'm not enthused.
19:39House 5's Mimi is in her element.
19:43A kid's room should feel...
19:45Fun.
19:47Fun, playful, cozy.
19:49Alive.
19:51I'm a millennial.
19:53What does that mean?
19:55I get bored really easily at my attention span.
19:57I just need things happening in my face.
20:05Mimi the millennial
20:07is off to 40 Wings in Melbourne
20:09to lock in beds for her kid's room.
20:13Found what I was looking for.
20:15But without the bedhead
20:17and a different colour.
20:19So if Mimi can get the beds in white
20:21with lower bedheads,
20:23the room will look like this.
20:27As you walk in,
20:29you'll see the two beds.
20:31Beautiful cloud-shaped bedhead
20:33that goes across a whole wall.
20:35And then graphico rainbow.
20:37Mimi's biggest kid.
20:39Well, you're the perfect person
20:41to build a kid's bedroom then.
20:43Yes!
20:47Fellow millennial, House 1's Paige
20:49is also trying to find beds for her kid's room.
20:51And has her heart set
20:53on something she found on the Freedom website.
20:55Let's go.
21:01I'm just chasing
21:03some rattan
21:05arch headboards.
21:07And I was wondering if it's possible to get those
21:09either to site or to come pick them up at all?
21:11Let me get on the website.
21:13Do you know the name of them?
21:15Yeah, so it's rattan
21:17arch decal headboard
21:19and it would be two of them in a single.
21:21The bedhead Paige is interested in
21:23is decal.
21:25Meaning it sticks to the wall
21:27but Paige doesn't realise that yet.
21:29Are there decals?
21:33I think...
21:35I don't know what decal is, but...
21:37So the decal means it, like, sticks to the wall?
21:39Oh, it's not an actual headboard?
21:41No.
21:43While things are not quite what they seem for Paige...
21:45Without the bed?
21:47Mimi has high expectations
21:49of what she can get with four days to reveal.
21:51One of them being a public holiday.
21:53I'm wondering
21:55if I could change the colour.
21:57Unfortunately, that's the only
21:59colour that comes in.
22:01No!
22:03Cue the millennial meltdown.
22:07F***.
22:09I want this bed,
22:11but not this colour.
22:13Why the f*** would you ever have
22:15a bedhead that is a sticker?
22:17I 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
22:27and I was like, you know what?
22:29I can make this work.
22:31Who are you calling?
22:33Damien from Graphico.
22:35How are you?
22:37I've bought two trundle beds
22:39and we thought
22:41that we could get them changed
22:43in terms of the colour,
22:45but we can't.
22:47It's like a teal
22:49and a clash with the rainbow.
22:51And if you could
22:53kind of build a rainbow
22:55off of that and then I can style it.
22:57Do you want to sort of change
22:59all the colours to a more tealy tone?
23:01Yeah.
23:03Send it through as soon as you can.
23:05Oh, here it is.
23:07Oh, yeah, that's okay.
23:09We can change it.
23:11It all works out and I have faith
23:13in this teal colour.
23:15It kind of goes with the other room.
23:17I believe
23:19in myself.
23:21While one millennial
23:23gets a win,
23:25the other is still
23:27processing the disappointment
23:29that her chosen bedhead
23:31is missing a sticker.
23:33We were looking for the past hour
23:35for any bedheads that would match.
23:37Couldn't find any, so I was just
23:39stressed.
23:41And on top of that,
23:43Paige's search has been interrupted
23:45by an appointment with Ray Whitecow.
23:47I just feel really ****
23:49because I'm in a really **** mood
23:51and I don't want to put it on these people.
23:53Just this is a different topic.
23:55Focus on that.
23:57Oh, thank you. Thank you.
23:59****
24:05Here we go.
24:07Three, two, one.
24:09Thank you so much.
24:13Hello.
24:15Hello.
24:17Do you know if any other houses
24:19have gone and spoken to these guys yet?
24:21I don't think any houses
24:23have spoken to Ray White yet.
24:25That's just my inkling.
24:27Hmm.
24:29You might want to double-check that
24:31with some of your neighbours.
24:33Who have you got? Ray White?
24:35We're going Ray White.
24:37Paige is not winning it live today.
24:39It's ****.
24:41Coming up.
24:43It's going to be a wild ride, I think.
24:45Let's go, girls.
24:47Block party bus hits Melbourne.
24:49Come on.
24:51We're giving him
24:53a taste of what 16 years looks like
24:55from now when he's
24:57ferrying around Tilly and all of her girlfriends.
24:59This beat is
25:01automatic, supersonic, hypnotic,
25:03funky, fresh.
25:05At Cood House, one's bad luck's trick.
25:07So the three main things that you build
25:09a room around we can't get.
25:11Oh.
25:13Mean another unfinished room.
25:15I, at this point,
25:17don't think we're going to have a completed room.
25:25Today
25:37will ideally
25:39be all sheeted, plastered
25:41and troweled off, so
25:43I want to be sanding tonight, ideally.
25:45I mean, it'd be nice to put a lick
25:47of paint on, but ideally sanding.
25:49How do you sleep?
25:53I sleep really well.
25:55I've been sleeping really well since we've been in the bed.
25:57Been up, early,
25:59getting ready.
26:01How is your room going?
26:03Like the design and stuff?
26:05Oh, the one this week?
26:07It's actually going really well.
26:09I'm very excited about it.
26:11It's going to be a kid's bedroom.
26:13For kids.
26:15Well, 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.
26:25Got a bit of an early one.
26:27So I got to shower last night.
26:29On a tile floor.
26:31Wait, in your house?
26:33Yeah.
26:35I thought you guys have been showering in there, but you haven't.
26:37So now you have water?
26:39Now we have hot water.
26:41That's sick.
26:43My password's here.
26:45Hey bud, how are ya?
26:47Yeah, I'm at the cafe. Turn around, mate.
26:49Turn around.
26:59Did I hear a rumour that you guys don't have
27:01a builder anymore?
27:03That's not a rumour.
27:05Yes, we don't have a builder anymore.
27:07I made the decision yesterday to get rid of my builders
27:09with no replacement, no potential builder in sight.
27:11That's how serious I was about
27:13not working with them again and proving the point
27:15that I had paid my invoice.
27:19So you'll be right for this week, right?
27:21Yeah, this room will be fine.
27:23We've got the floor and wall structure up.
27:25We've got plasterers in here today.
27:27After I get the plasterers set up today,
27:29priority number one would be to have a chat to a few people
27:31and see what their availability's like
27:33and go from there, make a few decisions.
27:35Morning, Brad.
27:37Morning.
27:39So, painting today?
27:41Yeah.
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?
27:53House 4 is going very well
27:55because they snuck in plasterers
27:57after hours last night,
27:59which is a big no-no.
28:01What 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 a discussion about
28:11if he could start early in the morning.
28:13I said, you can't start before 7.
28:15So what she asked is,
28:17like, I can come back now and set it.
28:19So I spoke to the security guard
28:21and said, like, is that going to be a problem?
28:23He said, no, that's fine.
28:25And he came back and top-coded.
28:27According to block rules,
28:29there are to be no tradies on site
28:31after tools down
28:33without a 9 and 6 supervisor
28:35also on site.
28:37The security guard doesn't run the site?
28:39No, the security guard doesn't run the site,
28:41but I thought he would liaise
28:43with 9 and 6,
28:45not thinking much further than that.
28:47Obviously, I should have spoken
28:49directly to someone with authority.
28:51It is what it is now.
28:53It is what it is now.
28:55Dan?
28:57What's happening?
28:59I've come to face the music, I think.
29:01I just wanted to know, I guess,
29:03where I stand, what the repercussions are.
29:05Obviously, I'm not going to do it again,
29:07but...
29:09It's a bit sly, them coming down
29:11through the back as well
29:13and not even going past security.
29:15Yeah, right. I did speak to the security guard.
29:17He was aware, but I know that's not good enough either.
29:19I know that's not speaking to you.
29:21Especially when there's no supervision here.
29:23It's got the potential of shutting the whole block down.
29:25If you say they injured themselves
29:27and we come in today,
29:29everyone's stopping work for a week or whatever.
29:31Yeah, right.
29:33So it's put the block in jeopardy at the end of the day.
29:35Yeah, that's not good enough.
29:37We'll have a chat and we're going to come back down here.
29:39Yeah.
29:41Not good.
29:47This year's block is located
29:49on Phillip Island,
29:51two hours south of the CBD.
29:53Commuting to the city to shop
29:55is a bit of a nightmare.
29:57So the girls have planned a full-day shopping trip
29:59to select key items
30:01for the next few weeks' rooms.
30:03And they've enlisted their own driver.
30:05We've got to drive safely today, Hayden.
30:07Yeah, I do.
30:09I know you do. You're doing great, sweetie.
30:11Precious cargo.
30:13Are you OK?
30:15I don't know.
30:17I don't know if I'm all right.
30:19Are you all right?
30:21Yeah, look, it's going to be a wild ride.
30:29If I trust any man
30:31to take my wife on a road trip,
30:33it'd be Hayden. He's a good man.
30:35It feels quite nice to be driven around.
30:37It's not driven around, chauffeured.
30:39Chauffeur H.
30:41He's a girl. We call him Daddy.
30:43What?
30:45He's a dad now.
30:47So he was like the dad of the trip.
30:49We're giving him a taste
30:51of what 16 years looks like from now.
30:53When he's ferrying around Tilly
30:55and all of her girlfriends.
30:57I felt like I dodged a bullet
30:59for that whole scenario.
31:03Globe West.
31:05Get it, girl. I'm so excited.
31:07Oh, I love Globe West.
31:09Everyone get out of my way.
31:11Move, bitch.
31:13So I might have been a little bit extreme
31:15on my shopping trip
31:17and I may have taken over.
31:19This is beautiful.
31:21Does it come in a different shape?
31:23It comes in a black as well.
31:25This is nice.
31:27The Chloe.
31:29Yeah, this is really nice.
31:31Love that.
31:33I'm just going to add all these things to my wish list.
31:35I wish I had more
31:37for Globe West.
31:39It was just really, really nice pieces.
31:41I'm just going to keep wandering.
31:51Dan and I have had a bit of a chat.
31:53Yeah.
31:55And we think it's fair
31:57that there's no tools
31:59till one o'clock today and you're going to be reinducted.
32:01And I'm going to be what, sorry?
32:03Reinducted at one.
32:05Everyone.
32:07One up and again.
32:09Let's pack her up.
32:19My love,
32:21everyone stood down until one.
32:23Until one o'clock?
32:25And I need to be reinducted
32:27and they all do too.
32:29Five hour stand down.
32:31Heaps of fun.
32:33So now
32:35cabinets go to the end of the line
32:37so no one's coming till one.
32:39Flooring got pushed back.
32:41Yeah, so I pushed the flooring guy back from twelve to one.
32:43We were really planning on painting all day today
32:45so I'm a bit concerned.
32:47That's alright.
32:49I'll just organise the back area and stuff.
32:51Alright, love you, bye.
32:53Love you, bye.
32:55What happened?
32:57We've been shut down until one o'clock.
32:59Then they all have to be reinducted.
33:01Even Brad.
33:03What?
33:07Done now.
33:21In house three,
33:23Ricky and Hayden are the only team
33:25tackling two rooms.
33:27This week's bedroom and last week's disaster
33:29have been on swing.
33:31No reason why we can't finish two rooms this week.
33:33With so much on their plate,
33:35Duncan has an idea to keep the team going.
33:39Wahey!
33:41Hey guys,
33:43look what I ordered you.
33:45You're about working smart,
33:47not hard.
33:51Let's go girls.
33:53Come on Hayden!
33:55Come on!
33:57Good to see you.
34:01I do kind of like this chair,
34:03this is fun.
34:05It's a thinking chair.
34:11That is soft.
34:13I'll take the lot.
34:15Thank you so much.
34:17Bye.
34:19While the girls have been having the time of their lives,
34:23it's been quite a different day for the boys back on site.
34:28Leave your name and number
34:30and I'll get back to you.
34:32G'day mate,
34:34I'm in a bit of a predicament at the moment,
34:36looking for a daughter.
34:41The waterproofer.
34:43He's laid it on very thick,
34:45still as you can see very wet.
34:47It's starting to get old,
34:49these waterproofing dramas.
34:53You've used the wrong insulation,
34:55so all that water's got to come out,
34:57that little piece there,
34:59that's all going to be sound screen.
35:01I put the wrong insulation in.
35:17Honestly, Tim Tams are just,
35:19I think they have to be one of the best chocolate biscuits in the world.
35:21It's not just Australia,
35:23the world knows about Tim Tams.
35:25They're so elite.
35:41Hey Shane, it's Grant, mate.
35:43I was hoping you could give us a call back when you get a moment.
35:45I'd just probably have to
35:47make sure I could get to him.
35:53I just want to finish this room, man,
35:55and we're just going backwards.
35:57Yeah.
35:59I've f***ing spent so much time doing this f***ing wall.
36:11I can't believe just like how much
36:13s*** you need for a kid's room.
36:15Have you found it difficult finding
36:17things that you like at certain suppliers?
36:19Yes.
36:21A lot of the pieces that we did want to order
36:23from the block shop were
36:25not available.
36:27We're not going to make it in time because of the short week.
36:29And we had found out whilst
36:31I was on the road trip.
36:33I just got told I can't get a bedside table
36:35because it's the f***ing block shop.
36:37That's why.
36:39Literally my three big ticket items I can't get,
36:41so what am I doing with my whole f***ing room?
36:43I'm not using the block shop after this.
36:45F*** this.
36:47The block shop is our online store
36:49which features hundreds of furniture
36:51and homeware suppliers.
36:53And our blockheads have a boatload of block bucks
36:55to spend there.
36:59With the block shop we would also
37:01like to offer you a variety
37:03of vouchers.
37:05So all in all there's about
37:0760,000 in vouchers there
37:09for you.
37:11That's Nadia. She runs the block shop.
37:13Every week helps contestants source
37:15products 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. I actually love Nadia too.
37:23She's really cool.
37:25She's like our long lost sister and Santa Claus
37:27like combined.
37:29But she can only work her magic if orders
37:31are placed well in advance.
37:33Particularly if items are coming
37:35from the interstate.
37:37The earlier the better to order through block shop.
37:39That's why it's so important to be organised
37:41and to have a lead time
37:43of a couple of weeks.
37:45Pre-order. I had to pre-order my bed
37:47like three weeks ago.
37:49Stay with my master one.
37:51I haven't even organised my master.
37:53Mine's coming from Queensland.
37:55What is? My bed head.
37:57Oh that's nice. I got told anything from
37:59Queensland I can't get.
38:01I ordered it like last week though.
38:05I think it's dawning
38:07on Paige that she placed her block shop
38:09orders for this week's rooms
38:11too late. Just like she did
38:13with the bed head.
38:19I at this point don't think
38:21we're going to have a completed room.
38:23No we'll be fine.
38:25I am so sick
38:27to my stomach of hearing
38:29open ended fallacies.
38:31I don't want to hear, do you know what
38:33just say something that's substantial.
38:35Well when there's two of us
38:37if I need to shoot out.
38:39That's okay you can shoot out but what are you going to buy?
38:43I don't know.
38:49After receiving news that some key items
38:51from the block shop won't be delivered
38:53in time.
38:55Jessie is on a solo mission to
38:57Melbourne to find replacements.
38:59So the three main things that you build a room
39:01around we can't get.
39:03So we're pretty much looking for
39:05a bedside table, chairs
39:07and we're also looking for
39:09a decorative piece.
39:13I can have a look around
39:15for a bedside table today.
39:17But it needs to be exactly like the one I picked.
39:21Yeah.
39:23And Nadia from the block shop
39:25is going out of her way to help.
39:27Hey
39:29that bedside table that Paige wanted
39:31you can actually get that from Freedom.
39:33Okay, I'm actually heading to Freedom
39:35now so I'll speak to them when I'm there.
39:37Okay. Thank you Nadia, thanks for your help.
39:39No worries.
39:43How can I help?
39:49I'm after the Amy bedside table
39:51and I can't go home without it.
39:53Alright, so they are an online
39:55only item.
39:57So we're
39:59110% not going to be able to get these.
40:01No.
40:03Let's check these chairs then.
40:05And they are from a separate
40:07supplier.
40:09So also no chance?
40:11I would say around a fortnight.
40:13No luck
40:15there unfortunately.
40:23Hey Nadia, how are you going?
40:25Good, how are you?
40:27Everything's kind of online only so...
40:29Even the other ones that I sent through to you?
40:31Yeah, yeah.
40:33We don't really like them.
40:35Oh, okay.
40:37I'm going to keep looking and keep hunting.
40:45Imagine not completing a room
40:47because you can't find the furniture you need.
40:51Do you want me to check it out of the stores?
40:53Yeah, please.
40:55Thankfully, Emily at Freedom Frankston
40:57was straight on the phone
40:59calling everyone to see what they had
41:01and finding other options for us which is really, really great.
41:03So,
41:05I have reserved one for you
41:07at South Wharf.
41:09Which is in the heart of CBD.
41:11Alright, thanks Emily.
41:13Thanks Jesse.
41:15It's a long drive.
41:21Melbourne traffic
41:23sucks.
41:33I
41:35end up
41:37at the South Wharf DFO there
41:39where I got lucky with two things.
41:41The little decorative
41:43piece and also
41:45a bedside table.
41:47I didn't get the chairs but we got an order
41:49from the block shop so we've got backup.
41:59Back on site, fortunes are turning
42:01for the other boys. Brad and his
42:03team have been re-inducted.
42:05It won't be happening again.
42:07Thank you very, very much.
42:09Christian has finally gotten
42:11his 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 because within
42:23a few minutes three guys have popped up.
42:25Nice to check, Grant. We'll see you tomorrow.
42:27Thank you so much, mate. See you then.
42:31Bye.
42:37Didn't think I was going to go for 12 and a half
42:39hours today so I definitely
42:41got more than I bargained for.
42:43What did you buy?
42:45I was driving so touching your phone
42:47in Australia is highly illegal so didn't
42:49really get a lot of chance to plan out what I
42:51was going to buy whilst the girls planned out
42:53exactly what they were going to buy so I didn't actually
42:55buy anything.
42:57F*** me dead.
43:01Long night.
43:05Honestly, we had such a good day.
43:07By the end of it, like, we came back, we're all
43:09dancing.
43:11Do you want to dance with a boar in there?
43:13We've got the space now.
43:15We were all on a different level.
43:19I think we've become a
43:21stronger couple. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:23Kiss?
43:25Warehouse 4.5.
43:27Back to usual programming.
43:29Yeah, because it's half of one.
43:31Kylie and Brad don't have enough kids.
43:33We need to adopt another.
43:35Where does Jessie fall into this situation?
43:37Jessie's not even here.
43:39We don't know where Jessie is.
43:41Where is Jessie? No one knows.
43:55We need to get our
43:57orders in for all living, dining
43:59and master like tonight.
44:01For what though?
44:03Furniture. We definitely need to get
44:05master in ASAP.
44:07Isn't that why you ordered today or no?
44:09I didn't order anything today.
44:11Everyone else did. I didn't order anything.
44:15Have you noticed that other couples
44:17aren't coping with the pressure? We have.
44:19Yeah, we have for sure. In particular
44:21last week. Over the last week
44:23it's been. I've heard Jessie and Paige fighting a bit.
44:25Yep. I think a lot of people are
44:27noticing a bit of arguing from them too.
44:29I've gone out of my way
44:31all day today to make things as easy as possible
44:33for us.
44:35What has that got to do with me right now?
44:37It means to make your life easier
44:39to do things. That's great.
44:41So to take the pressure off you. That's great.
44:43What has that got to do with anything?
44:45I've heard
44:47Paige and Jessie argue before on the phone
44:49and then they kind of get over it and like
44:51they're very respectful
44:53of each other like in front of people.
44:55I don't know what happens behind closed
44:57doors. And it's healthy to argue
44:59to an extent. But yeah, sometimes
45:01it's getting extreme on the block.
45:03What you always do is you take your anger
45:05on situations out on me.
45:07I'm venting to you. If I can't
45:09vent to you, who do I get to vent to?
45:11You're the one that takes it personally.
45:13I'm never making it
45:15personal. You're the one with
45:17hyper emotions who takes it personally.
45:19But whereas like
45:21we'll just argue in front of people
45:23we'll swear at each other.
45:25And then we're just normal.
45:27Then I usually go back to her in ten minutes.
45:29Can we just be friends? It's just too hard to argue.
45:31I hate too many people in life. I don't need to
45:33hate my wife as well. I think
45:35the difference between our arguments and theirs
45:37is that ours are a two way street.
45:39We give it to each other just as much
45:41as each other. These are people
45:43who want to fight it.
45:45Don't say that. It's so
45:47cringe.
45:49You can't say anything.
45:51Good job. You finally got it.
45:53You finally got it.
45:55You can't say anything.
45:57I don't need all this kumbaya.
45:59I don't.
46:01I don't feel like I
46:03belong here.
46:05You make me feel that way.
46:07And others make me feel that way.
46:09Honestly, I just like
46:11don't really feel
46:13like I can do this for two
46:15months.
46:17Says who?
46:21Tomorrow night,
46:23the guest bedroom build ramps up.
46:25We have to win. I love this room.
