Short filmTranscript
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.
00:22Where 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 public enemy 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.
00:42One house will no longer have a room.
00:45So the three main things that you build a room around, we can't get?
00:50I 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 and 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.
01:54WHISTLE BLOWS
02:03Bright and early.
02:04I think this week has been the most challenging week for us.
02:09But I feel like, you know, when you kind of hit rock bottom,
02:13you can only go up.
02:14After another bad day yesterday...
02:16No one listens to me.
02:18I'm listening to you. Yeah, I'm sure you are.
02:19Cut your attitude out.
02:21Age 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. Thanks so much, Tina.
02:45Have a good day.
02:47The plan for today is buying some bedding.
02:51And then whilst I'm at Chadston,
02:53I may as well stock up on my moisturiser.
03:13I didn't have any intentions.
03:15I didn't have any intentions to shop whilst I was there.
03:18And then I saw my favourite shoe store.
03:20The sandals looked great on my feet.
03:23They were $150 up.
03:25So I bought them.
03:27And then I thought I may as well pick up my night cream.
03:32And I went to a few other stores as well.
03:35Got some throws.
03:38And I bought my sheets.
03:42I wanted to go into Ralph Lauren as well,
03:44but they were shut when I got there.
03:46And I compromised because I walked back past them on the way out.
03:50And I said, no, I need to get back to site.
03:54Where's my round of applause?
03:59Have you got a plan for your room yet?
04:02Yes.
04:03Now that I've bought my sheets, I see everything so clearly.
04:08Hit me.
04:10So the sheets are this beautiful kind of Parisian dollhouse vibe.
04:19Really plays into that modern colonial bit.
04:21It's fun because it's a kid.
04:23It all came together pretty quickly.
04:25Paige's pink and green sheets are at the heart
04:28of her Parisian doll's house girl's bedroom,
04:31which will have gingham wallpaper
04:33and then decided on a bespoke study desk.
04:37What?
04:38When I did get back, Jesse spotted the bag really quickly.
04:42What's that?
04:44A pair of shoes.
04:50Paige always comes home.
04:51What would you get? I've got a really good discount.
04:53They're $150 off.
04:55Yeah, so what was the final price?
04:57Like nothing.
04:58See how she didn't say the price?
05:00How nice are they though? Look.
05:03Very nice. They're awesome.
05:05I actually feel like going back and getting them in black too.
05:09I really should have done that.
05:17Someone else who would probably benefit from some retail therapy
05:21is Kylie in house four.
05:27A little bit about it.
05:30Yesterday, property experts,
05:32Marty Fox, CEO of White Fox Real Estate,
05:35and Alice Stoltz of Domain strongly suggested
05:38that Kylie and Brad do a kids' bedroom this week.
05:41If you can, consider having bunks
05:44or having the ability to sleep with two king singles.
05:49And Kylie was having none of it.
05:51I wasn't aiming at families.
05:53Like, yeah, but no, like not a kids' kids' room.
05:57Everyone's trying to give me hope.
05:59But you've got kids, you've got this,
06:01like, clearly you'll know what you're doing.
06:03You've got four kids, Sarah?
06:05You guys are probably the heart of who this might appeal to.
06:09Which means more pressure,
06:10because if I present a kids' room
06:12that isn't functional and doesn't make sense,
06:15then they're going to be like,
06:16and they're the only family that actually have kids
06:18and that's what they've given us.
06:20So she threw her toys out of the cot
06:22and spent the afternoon asleep on her bedroom floor.
06:28You OK?
06:30She's asleep in the room.
06:32She's asleep?
06:33Or laying down.
06:34She won't talk to anyone, she'll pretend to be asleep.
06:37And this morning she decided
06:39to take Marty and Alice's advice anyway.
06:42Still trying to get my head around kids.
06:45Kids.
06:46I was never planning kids.
06:48Somewhat reluctantly.
06:50What are we doing with the room?
06:52You're not very enthused about it, that's for sure.
06:54I'm not enthused. We'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,
07:05hanging chair, wallpaper in a brushstroke pattern
07:08and a built-in robe in Carly's signature black.
07:14Oh, it's still early.
07:15I 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.
07:36House one, number one, Truecore Tuesdays.
07:43This is the first week I am first in line for Truecore Tuesdays.
07:47I'm not letting anyone go ahead of me.
07:49I'll leave this floor all day just so no-one else gets their walls.
07:54That's how petty I'll be.
07:56This is my one chance to be number one on Truecore Tuesdays.
07:59I'm not taking that away from myself.
08:01I'm in front of the queue. I dictate the speed of the Truecore.
08:06And I love it.
08:07But I was a wanted man. My position was wanted.
08:15Today we've got to try and get our Truecore walls up
08:18as fast as we can to see if we can't get plastering this afternoon.
08:24Plaster is coming at lunchtime.
08:26Brad likes to be before schedule
08:28and if he's not, he's by his own schedule,
08:30which is already a day behind.
08:32We were ready for frames yesterday.
08:34You were hustling to try and get in first, weren't you?
08:36Always 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 Jessie's are complete.
08:46So he sends his builder, Benny, over to check how close
08:49house one is to being ready for walls.
08:52I'm just going to set it up.
09:06There we go.
09:07Have they got their floor down?
09:08No. No inso in. No floor inspection yet.
09:10No subfloor inspection yet.
09:13So I know house four, Brad and Kylie, had their subfloor done.
09:17They were ready for walls.
09:19They could see we actually didn't have our chipboard sheets down,
09:22our flooring down yet, and they've approached me.
09:25We need to have the sticks first
09:27and if all four sticks are ready and...
09:30Asked if they can jump the queue.
09:32That was second. They want to go first.
09:34How did you get first?
09:36Because 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.
09:45I kind of said, yeah, yeah, nah.
09:47Nah. No chance.
09:49So I all of a sudden became...
09:52Public enemy number one.
09:54Public enemy number one.
09:56Are you finished? Ready?
09:57Yeah, we don't need installation.
09:58Hey, Peter, how you going?
09:59Good, buddy. How are you?
10:00Good, mate. Hey, I'm just down at your little station
10:02and just confirm that we're first in line to get our steel.
10:06I wasn't going to stand there and have that argument with him
10:08because obviously standing around doing nothing is not very productive.
10:11So house four's 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 that we needed to
10:23for ours to start getting made.
10:26And then we started making our walls.
10:28Right, on the ground, go.
10:31Oh, my God.
10:43Had our walls up before Jesse even come down looking for his walls.
10:47House four'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? Jesse.
10:54He's like, house four's are done, so I'm just seeing if ours are ready.
10:57How you going, Josh?
10:58What's the ETL 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. Yeah, nice. How good?
11:13But he was still second.
11:16Did you make his walls straight?
11:18Well, it's true, Cor.
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.
11:34But their 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.
11:47That'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 from Grant yet.
11:56Nothing, zero. Nothing, zero.
11:58We don't know if this is a 24-hour processing time,
12:01is this a 48-hour processing time?
12:04But week one was due three weeks ago.
12:07And we know they've got the money. Yeah.
12:09Well, hopefully they do.
12:11Oh, so we've got a bigger problem.
12:12They've got a quarter of a mil and they just won 10.
12:14They won 20 yesterday, they won another 10.
12:16Oh, he's off.
12:18We're negative 13.
12:20And it's four weeks late.
12:35At the blog, 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 from Grant yet.
12:46Nothing, zero. Nothing, zero.
12:47He said he was going to pay during the day yesterday
12:50and then he said,
12:51I'll pay tonight when I get away on the laptop.
12:53That's fine, but we still haven't seen anything.
12:56We're negative 13.
12:58Week one was due three weeks ago.
13:01This is not good news because on the blog,
13:04we encourage teams to pay their builders on Sunday
13:07once the room is complete
13:09to help keep track of the budget.
13:13For example, here is House 5's accounts for the first three weeks.
13:17Each one paid 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.
13:40Hello.
13:41Hello.
13:42The builders, they were just saying
13:44how they haven't been paid yet at all this season
13:48by Cotton Gran.
13:50He's the guy that doesn't pay people.
13:52What's still going on with that?
13:54He hasn't paid a cent.
13:55What, really?
13:56Not for week one, two or three.
13:58Not one dollar.
13:59Have the other builders been paid?
14:00Apparently they get paid if not same day,
14:02it's the next day and the day after.
14:03Hey, Mimi, have you paid your builders?
14:05Yeah, every Sunday.
14:07Yeah, every Sunday.
14:09Every Sunday?
14:10As soon as they send the invoice.
14:12Can we work for you?
14:17Morning.
14:21Courtney and Gran are rolling in fashionably late
14:23to House 2 this morning
14:25after their Ford getaway to Sorrento.
14:28Oh, my gosh, we've got walls.
14:31The builders have made good progress
14:33on Courtney and Gran's modern Mediterranean-style guest bedroom
14:36which will feature an architectural curve
14:39on the wall behind the bed.
14:41And before getting back into it,
14:43Courtney needs a coffee.
14:45Hello, darling.
14:46Welcome back to the island.
14:48So I went up to McCafe, spoke to Tina,
14:51and she says, oh, yeah, with the builders
14:54and how you're not paying your invoices.
14:55I'm like, what do you mean?
14:56So I'm like, how does Tina know?
14:58Who said that?
14:59Maybe your elders?
15:00Who?
15:01Maybe your builders?
15:03It was literally paid last night.
15:05I reckon...
15:06Two 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...
15:14Piss?
15:15Yeah.
15:17I just don't understand.
15:19And then as soon as I heard that, I then texted you.
15:23That fee bill wasn't paid.
15:29Took a f***ing drama.
15:36Do you need another coffee?
15:38No, I don't.
15:39Are you paying your bills?
15:41Yes, that's what I came to talk to you about.
15:43It was all paid yesterday.
15:45Oh, was it?
15:46Yeah.
15:47So did he not say that?
15:48Did he mention it today?
15:49Yeah.
15:50Miscommunication.
15:51He's a snake.
15:52So you paid him yesterday?
15:54I just wanted to know when he said it, that's all.
15:57No, are you going to keep him?
15:58No.
16:00I'll speak to you soon.
16:01Bye.
16:04I'll speak to you soon.
16:11So what was this today about you telling people about me not paying?
16:14Since I have paid your invoice yesterday.
16:16Me?
16:17Yeah.
16:18Who'd I tell?
16:19Oh, well apparently you've told Dan, you've told Tina, the coffee lady, producers, and...
16:22Yeah, you haven't paid.
16:23No, but I did.
16:24Yesterday you hadn't.
16:25No, no, no.
16:26Yesterday I did pay.
16:27We haven't received anything.
16:28I don't understand what the point was to go to other people.
16:30What?
16:31People ask questions.
16:32Have you been paid?
16:33Oh, does Tina ask questions?
16:34Yeah, she does.
16:35Oh, does she?
16:36Yeah.
16:37She asks, has he been paid?
16:38Yeah.
16:39We don't want you talking behind our backs.
16:40I'll talk to you up front.
16:41I'm telling you now.
16:42You haven't talked to me up front.
16:43Our expectation, our expectation.
16:44Calm down.
16:45No, no, no.
16:46You're not talking to me up front.
16:47You're going behind my back to talk.
16:48I'm not having people talk about me behind my back about something that's not f***ing
16:52true as well, and it would have been as simple as a conversation of saying, hey, Grant, has
16:55the invoice been paid?
16:56You would have known both of them had been paid yesterday.
16:58Nothing comes through, man.
16:59Yeah.
17:00It's all good.
17:01Well, you could have come to me before you started talking to other people.
17:03It is what it is.
17:04Your mistake, in my eyes.
17:05Sure.
17:06It's gone from there.
17:07You're entitled to your opinion.
17:08Yeah, I know.
17:09I think this escalated beyond it needed to escalate.
17:12Yeah.
17:13Well, you've done that, Chris.
17:14So, thank you.
17:15No, I don't think it's all his fault.
17:16I don't think it's all his fault.
17:17He can't take the rap for it.
17:18No, no, no.
17:19He could have come to me.
17:20He could have come to me and said, when are we getting paid?
17:21And I would have told you that they'd both been 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, talk to other people.
17:27That's...
17:28No, no, no.
17:29You've tried to talk to other people.
17:30He's tried...
17:31Not you.
17:32He's tried...
17:33Chris has tried to talk to other people instead of coming to me and say,
17:34hey, have they been paid?
17:35He would have known they would have been f****** paid.
17:36But instead, you spread the rumor that, hey, this guy doesn't f****** pay us.
17:39You know what?
17:40I'm calling it from now.
17:41Don't come back on Thursday.
17:42I don't need you.
17:43It's all good.
17:44I'm done.
17:45Thanks for everything.
17:46I'm sorry.
17:47But I'm not having you on site.
17:48You're a f****** snake.
17:52Forget it.
17:56Are you all right?
17:57It's all right.
17:58It's all right.
17:59You know, like...
18:01Don't cry.
18:02It's going to be all right.
18:03I didn't want to get to this point.
18:04Yeah, but neither did I.
18:10We don't have a backup plan.
18:11We don't have a builder.
18:12I'll figure that part out.
18:14I just know when I can't work with somebody, and today was that day.
18:25I think it's...
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.
18:46I didn't.
18:47But I'm not going to have him and his...
18:48I'm not going to have his team f****** talking 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.
18:57That's all I hope, Dan.
19:05Oh, my gosh.
19:06That is outstanding.
19:07Oh!
19:08She likes it, too.
19:09See how our all-stars, Dan and Danni,
19:11rate the Blockheads' rooms when they award their weekly champs and chumps.
19:16Who are your champs?
19:17Exclusively at the Block website.
19:19Oh, my God.
19:25This week's brief is to design a guest bedroom.
19:28More specifically, a kids' bedroom for any house that hasn't already done one.
19:33And while some are less enthusiastic...
19:35I'm not enthused.
19:39...House 5's Mimi is in her element.
19:43A kids' room should feel...
19:45Fun.
19:46Fun.
19:47Warm.
19:48Cozy.
19:50Alive.
19:51I'm a millennial.
19:52What does that mean?
19:54I see a board really easily, my attention span.
19:56I just need things happening in my face.
20:05Mimi the millennial is off to 40 Winks in Melbourne
20:08to lock in beds for her kids' room.
20:10Found what I was looking for.
20:12But without the bedhead and a different colour.
20:14So if Mimi can get the beds in white with lower bedheads,
20:18the room will look like this.
20:22As you walk in, you'll see the two beds.
20:25Beautiful cloud-shaped bedhead that goes across a whole wall
20:29and then graphico rainbow.
20:33Mimi's biggest kid.
20:36Fellow millennial, House 1's Paige
20:38is also trying to find beds for her kids' room
20:41and has her heart set on something she found on the Freedom website.
20:45Let's go.
20:50I'm just chasing some...
20:53...returns.
20:54Returns.
20:55Returns.
20:56Returns.
20:57Returns.
20:58Returns.
20:59Returns.
21:00Returns.
21:01Returns.
21:02Returns.
21:03Returns.
21:04Return arch headboards.
21:06And 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.
21:13Do you know the name of them?
21:15Yeah, so it's return arch decal headboard
21:18and it would be two of them in a single.
21:21The bedhead Paige is interested in is decal,
21:24meaning it sticks to the wall but Paige doesn't realise that yet.
21:30Are there decals?
21:33I think... I don't know what decal is but...
21:36So the decal means it, like, sticks to the wall?
21:39Oh, it's not an actual headboard.
21:41No.
21:42While things are not quite what they seem for Paige...
21:45Without the bedhead?
21:46Mimi has high expectations of what she can get with four days to reveal,
21:51one of them being a public holiday.
21:53I'm wondering if I could change the colour.
21:57Unfortunately, it's the only colour that comes in.
22:00No!
22:02Cue the millennial meltdown.
22:09I want this bed but not this colour.
22:13Why the f*** would you ever have a bedhead that is a sticker?
22:17I feel defeated.
22:18All of this is just f***.
22:20I hate my life.
22:22No problem. Easy done.
22:25But then I literally looked at it and I was like,
22:27you know what?
22:28I can make this work.
22:31Who are you calling?
22:32Damien from Grafico.
22:34Hi Damien, how are you?
22:35Good, good.
22:36I've bought two trundle beds.
22:40And we thought that we could get them changed in terms of the colour.
22:45But we can't.
22:46And it's like a teal.
22:48Oh, OK.
22:49And it's going to 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 to 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.
23:09We can change it.
23:10It all works out and I have faith in this teal colour.
23:14Because 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...stressed.
23:40And on top of that,
23:41Paige's search has been interrupted by an appointment with Ray White Cow.
23:46I 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.
23:55I didn't know it was a different topic.
23:57I just need a minute. I'm so f***ing angry.
24:06Here we go, three, two, one.
24:08OK.
24:09Thank you so much.
24:14Hello.
24:15Hello.
24:16Do you know if any other houses have gone and spoken to these guys yet?
24:21I don't think any houses have spoken to Ray White yet.
24:25That's just my inkling.
24:28You might want to double-check that with some of your neighbours.
24:32Who have you got?
24:33Ray White? We're going Ray White.
24:35OK.
24:36Paige is not winning at life today.
24:39It's s***.
24:41Coming up...
24:42It's going to be a wild ride, I think.
24:45Let's go, girls.
24:47A block party bus hits Melbourne.
24:49Come on.
24:51We're giving him a taste of what 16 years looks like from now
24:55when he's ferrying around Tilly and all of her girlfriends.
24:58This beat is hot.
25:00I'm at it supersonic, hypnotic, funky, fresh.
25:04But could house one's bad luck streak...
25:06So, the three main things that you build a room around, we can't get.
25:10..mean another unfinished room.
25:13I, at this point, don't think we're going to have a completed room.
25:18MUSIC
25:38Today will ideally be all sheeted, plastered and troweled off,
25:42so I want to be sanding tonight, ideally.
25:45I mean, it'd be nice to put a lick of paint on, but ideally sanding.
25:52How do you sleep?
25:53I sleep really well.
25:54I've been sleeping really well since we've been in the bed.
25:57Been up early, getting ready.
26:00How is your room going, like, the design and stuff?
26:03Oh, our...the one this week? Yeah.
26:06It's actually going really well.
26:08I'm very excited about it.
26:10It's going to be a kids' bedroom.
26:12For kids.
26:13Well, if they're small kids, they can all sleep horizontally,
26:16so you can sleep, like, 20.
26:20How was your night last night?
26:22It wasn't too much, really, how you should do,
26:24so we got a bit of an early one.
26:26Yeah, yeah.
26:27I got to shower last night on a tile floor.
26:31Wait, in your house? Yeah.
26:33Yay!
26:34Because I thought you guys have been showering in there,
26:36but you haven't. No.
26:37So now you have water?
26:38Now we have hot water. Yeah.
26:40That's sick.
26:42We'll pass for zero soon now. Thank you.
26:44Bye.
26:45Hey, bud, how are ya?
26:46Yeah, I'm at the cafe. Turn around, mate.
26:48Turn around. Turn around. Turn around.
26:58Did I hear a rumour that you guys don't have a builder anymore?
27:02That's not a rumour.
27:03Yes, we don't have a builder anymore.
27:05I made the decision yesterday to get rid of my builders
27:08with no replacement, no potential builder in sight.
27:11That's how serious I was about not working with them again
27:14and proving the point that I had paid my invoice.
27:19So you'll be right for this week, right, like this room?
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.
27:26After I get the plasterers set up today,
27:28priority number one would be to have a chat to a few people
27:31and see what their availability is like
27:33and go from there, make a few decisions.
27:36Morning, Brad. Morning.
27:39So, painting today? Yeah.
27:42Sounds like you guys are on track.
27:44Yeah, so far.
27:46Could be a little bit further along, but going pretty good.
27:50Going 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.
28:00I'm looking into it, brother. Do you want anything?
28:03I'm going to go try and find some biscuits.
28:05So, last night, after the plasterers left,
28:08there was a discussion about if he could start early in the morning.
28:12I said, you can't start before 7.
28:14So, which he asked, he's like, I can come back now and set it.
28:18So, I spoke to the security guard and said,
28:20like, is that going to be a problem?
28:22He said, no, that's fine.
28:24And he came back and top-coded.
28:27According to block rules,
28:29there are to be no tradies on site after tools down
28:32without a 9 and 6 supervisor also on site.
28:36But the security guard doesn't run the site.
28:39No, the security guard doesn't run the site,
28:41but I thought he would liaise with 9 and 6,
28:43not thinking much further than that.
28:45Obviously, I should have spoken directly to someone with authority.
28:49It is what it is now.
28:51I should have spoken directly to someone with authority.
28:54It is what it is now.
28:57Dan, Simmo.
28:58What's happening?
28:59I've come to face the music, I think.
29:01I just wanted to know, I guess, where I stand,
29:04what the repercussions are.
29:06Obviously, I'm not going to do it again, but...
29:10It'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 was 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.
29:24It's got the potential of shutting the whole block down.
29:26If you 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.
29:36No.
29:37We'll have a chat and we're going to come back down here.
29:39Yeah.
29:42Not good.
29:43No.
29:49This year's block is located on Phillip Island,
29:52two hours south of the CBD.
29:54Commuting to the city to shop is a bit of a nightmare.
29:58So the girls have planned a full-day shopping trip
30:01to select key items for the next few weeks' rooms.
30:04And they've enlisted their own driver.
30:07We've got to drive safely today, Hayden.
30:09Yeah, I do.
30:10I know you do.
30:11Precious cargo.
30:12Oh, yeah.
30:16You OK?
30:17I don't know.
30:18I don't know if I'm all right.
30:19Are you all right?
30:20Yeah, look, it's going to be a wild ride.
30:29If I trust any man to take my wife on a road trip,
30:32it'll be Hayden.
30:33He's a good man.
30:34It feels quite nice to be driven around.
30:36It's not driven around, chauffeured.
30:38Chauffeur hates.
30:40He's an honorary girl.
30:41We call him Daddy.
30:44What?
30:45He's a dad now.
30:46So he was like the dad of the trip.
30:49We're giving him a taste of what 16 years looks like from now
30:53when he's ferrying around Tilly and all of her girlfriends.
30:56I felt like I dodged a bullet for that whole scenario.
31:03Globe West.
31:04Get it, girl.
31:06I'm so excited.
31:08Oh, I love Globe West.
31:10Everyone get out of my way.
31:11Move, bitch.
31:13So I might have been a little bit extreme on my shopping trip
31:17and I may have taken over.
31:20This is beautiful.
31:21Does it come in a different shape?
31:23It comes in a black as well.
31:25This is nice.
31:26Yeah.
31:27The Chloe.
31:28Yeah.
31:29Yeah, this is really nice.
31:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:31Love that.
31:32Yeah.
31:33I'm just going to add all these things to my wish list.
31:35I wish I had more sponsorship dollars for Globe West.
31:38It was just really, really nice pieces.
31:40I'm just going to keep wandering.
31:41Yeah, perfect.
31:51Dan and I have had a bit of a chat.
31:54Yeah.
31:55And we think it's fair that there's no tools till 1 o'clock today
32:00and you're going to be re-inducted.
32:02And I'm going to be what, sorry?
32:03Re-induction at 1.
32:05Everyone?
32:06Everyone.
32:07It's going to happen again.
32:09All right.
32:10Let's pack her up.
32:11Yeah.
32:19My love.
32:21Everyone stood down until 1.
32:23Until 1 o'clock?
32:25And I need to be re-inducted and they all do too.
32:29Five hour stand down.
32:31Heaps of fun.
32:32You're joking.
32:33No.
32:34So now cabinets go to the end of the line.
32:37So no one's coming till 1.
32:39Flooring got pushed back.
32:40Yeah.
32:41So I pushed the flooring guy back from 12 to 1.
32:43We were really planning on painting all day today.
32:45So I'm a bit concerned.
32:47That's all right.
32:48I'll just organise the back area and stuff.
32:51All right.
32:52Love you.
32:53Bye.
32:54Love you.
32:55Bye.
32:56What happened?
32:57We've been shut down until 1 o'clock.
32:58Till 1?
32:59Yeah.
33:00Then they all have to be re-inducted.
33:01What?
33:02Even Brad.
33:03Yeah.
33:04Oh!
33:08Done now.
33:22In House 3, Ricky and Hayden are the only team tackling two rooms.
33:26This week's bedroom and last week's disaster oven on sweat.
33:30No reason why we can't finish two rooms this week.
33:33So much on their plate, Duncan has an idea to keep the team going.
33:39Wahey!
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.
33:52Go on, Hayden!
33:53Come on!
33:54Yeah!
33:55Come on!
33:57Look at you.
33:58Oh, my goodness.
34:01I do kind of like this chair.
34:02This is fun.
34:03It's a pinking 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 you.
34:16Bye.
34:17Bye.
34:18While the girls have been having the time of their lives...
34:22..it's been quite a different day for the boys back on site.
34:26PHONE RINGS
34:28Leave your name and number and I'll get back to you.
34:31G'day, mate.
34:32I'm in a bit of a predicament at the moment,
34:35looking for a daughter.
34:41The waterproofer.
34:42He's laid it on very thick.
34:44Still, as you can see, very wet.
34:46Mm-hm.
34:47It's starting to get old, these waterproofing dramas.
34:52It's usually the wrong insulation,
34:54so all that water's got to come out.
34:56That little piece there, that's all going to be sound screen.
34:59Don't put the wrong insulation in.
35:15Honestly, Tim Tams are just...
35:17I think they have to be one of the best chocolate biscuits in the world.
35:20It's not just Australia, the world knows about Tim Tams.
35:24They're so elite.
35:39Hey, Shane, it's Grant, mate.
35:41I was hoping you could give us a call back when you get a moment.
35:44I'd just probably have to make sure I could get your hit to it.
35:51I just want to finish this room, man, and we're just going backwards.
35:55Yeah.
35:57I've spent so much time doing this f***ing wall.
36:10I can't believe just, like, how much s*** you need for a kid's room.
36:13Have you found it difficult finding things that you like
36:16at certain suppliers?
36:18Yes.
36:19The pieces that we did want to order from the block shop
36:22were not available.
36:24We're not going to make it in time because of the short week.
36:27And we had found out whilst I was on the road trip.
36:30I just got told I can't get a bedside table.
36:32Why?
36:33Because it's the f***ing block shop.
36:35That's why.
36:36Literally my three big-ticket items I can't get,
36:38so what am I doing with my whole f***ing room?
36:40I'm not using the block shop after this.
36:42F*** this.
36:43The block shop is our online store,
36:45which features hundreds of furniture and homeware suppliers.
36:49And our blockheads have a boatload of block bucks to spend there.
36:55With the block shop,
36:57we would also like to offer you a variety of vouchers.
37:00Beautiful.
37:01So, all in all, there's about 60,000 in vouchers there for you.
37:06Beautiful.
37:07That's Nadia.
37:08She runs the block shop.
37:09Thank you so much.
37:10Every week helps contestants source products in time for reveal.
37:14Nadia from the block shop is unreal.
37:16She is so, so, so helpful.
37:18Oh, my God, I love Nadia.
37:19I actually love Nadia too.
37:20She's really cool.
37:21She's like our long-lost sister and Santa Claus, like combined.
37:25But she can only work her magic if orders are placed well in advance,
37:30particularly if items are coming from interstate.
37:33The earlier the better to order through block shop.
37:36That's why it's so important to me.
37:39That's why it's so important to be organised
37:41and to have a lead time of a couple of weeks.
37:44They want you to pre-order.
37:46I had to pre-order my bed, like, three weeks ago.
37:49Stay with my master one.
37:50I haven't even organised my master.
37:53Mine's coming from Queensland.
37:55What is?
37:56My bed head.
37:57Oh, that's nice.
37:58I got told anything from Queensland I can't get.
38:00I ordered it, like, last week, though.
38:03How long does creative day take?
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.
38:18I, at this point, don't think we're going to have a completed room.
38:22No, we'll be fine.
38:24I am so sick to my stomach of hearing open-ended fallacies.
38:31I don't want to hear... Do you know what?
38:33Just say something that's substantive.
38:35Well, when there's two of us, if I need to shoot out...
38:38That's OK, you can shoot out, but what are you going to buy?
38:48After receiving news that some key items from the block shop
38:51won't be delivered in time...
38:54..Jessie is on a solo mission to Melbourne to find replacements.
38:58So, the three main things that you build a room around, we can't get.
39:02So, we're pretty much looking for a bedside table, chairs,
39:06and we're also looking for a decorative piece.
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. Thank 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.
40:03Let's check these chairs then.
40:06And they are from a separate supplier.
40:08So, also no chance?
40:10No, it would be... I would say around a fortnight.
40:14No luck there, unfortunately.
40:23Hey, Nadia, how are you going?
40:25Good, how are you?
40:26Everything's kind of online-only, so...
40:28Even the other ones that I sent through to you?
40:32Yeah, 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
40:47because you can't find the furniture you need.
40:50Do you want me to check at other stores?
40:52Yeah, please.
40:53Yes, definitely.
40:55Thankfully, Emily at Freedom Frankston
40:57was straight on the phone and calling everyone
40:59to see what they had and finding other options for us,
41:01which was really, really great.
41:07So, I have reserved one for you at South Wharf.
41:11Which is in the heart of CBD.
41:13All right, thanks, Emily.
41:14Thanks, Jesse.
41:15See you later. Bye.
41:16It's a long drive.
41:20Melbourne traffic sucks.
41:34I ended up at the South Wharf DFO there,
41:37where I got lucky with two things.
41:39The little decorative piece
41:42and also a bedside table.
41:44I didn't get the chairs,
41:47but we got an order from the block shop,
41:49so we got back up.
41:58Back on site, fortunes are turning for the other boys.
42:01Brad and his team have been re-inducted.
42:04It won't be happening again.
42:06Thank you very, very much.
42:09Christian has finally gotten his insulation approved.
42:12That looks much better, mate.
42:14Eh?
42:16And Grant has jumped on High Pages
42:18and found himself a potential builder.
42:20God bless High Pages,
42:21because within a few minutes, three guys have popped up.
42:24Nice to check, Grant.
42:25I'll see you tomorrow.
42:26Thank you so much, mate.
42:27Cheers. See you then.
42:36Didn't think it 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?
42:43I was driving, so touching your phone in Australia is highly illegal,
42:47so 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,
42:54so 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.
43:09Trying to dance on the board again?
43:11We've got the face now.
43:12We were all on a different level.
43:17I think we've become a stronger couple.
43:19Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:20Kiss?
43:23Warehouse 4.5.
43:24Back to usual programming.
43:26Yeah, because it's half of one.
43:27Kylie and Brad don't have enough kids.
43:29We need to adopt another.
43:31And where does Jessie fall into this situation?
43:33Jessie's not even here.
43:35We don't know where Jessie is.
43:36Where is Jessie? No-one knows.
43:51We need to get our orders in for all living, dining and master, like, tonight.
43:57For what, though?
43:58Furniture.
43:59We definitely need to get moving.
44:01For what, though?
44:02Furniture.
44:03We definitely need to get master in ASAP.
44:07Isn't that what you ordered today, or no?
44:09I didn't order anything today.
44:10Everyone else did.
44:11I didn't order anything.
44:15Have you noticed that other couples aren't coping with the pressure?
44:18We are.
44:19Yeah, I have, for sure.
44:20In particular, the last week.
44:21Over 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 noticing a bit of arguing from them, too.
44:29I've got to work all day today to make things as easy as possible for us.
44:32Like...
44:34What 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?
44:45I've heard Paige and Jessie argue before on the phone,
44:48and then they kind of get over it, and, like,
44:50they're very respectful of each other, like, in front of people.
44:54I 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 block.
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.
45:19But whereas, like, we are...
45:21We'll just argue in front of people, we'll swear at each other.
45:24And then we're just normal, like...
45:26Then I usually go back to her in 10 minutes and go,
45:28can we just be friends? It's just too hard to argue.
45:30And we'll laugh.
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 that ours are a two-way street.
45:39We 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.
45:48Oh, f*** me, I 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.
45:57I don't need all this kumbaya, we're a f***ing team.
46:00I don't.
46:01I don't feel like I belong here.
46:05You make me feel that way.
46:07And others make me feel that way.
46:09Honestly, I just, like, don't really feel
46:13like I can do this for two months.
46:16Like, quitting is not an option now.
46:18Says who?
46:21Tomorrow night, the guest bedroom build ramps up.
46:25We have to win. I love this room.
46:27Away you go.
46:31Ricky and Hayden's bathroom disaster continues.
46:34Oh, he's done it again.
46:36No, pull it out. Done again.
46:38Seriously, this isn't enjoyable.
46:41And our blockheads take to the seas
46:43to win one of the biggest challenge prizes in block history.
46:47Valued at over $100,000...
46:49My bar crusher of the day.
46:51Have a look at Ricky.
46:55$100,000 of just pure fishing arsenal.
