FunTranscript
00:00Tonight's episode of the blog deals with matters of mental health that some viewers may find distressing.
00:06If anything in this program raises concerns for you or someone you know,
00:10please contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or lifeline.org.au.
00:30I think it's going to be a really hard conversation.
00:42I tried so hard and got so far.
00:49But in the end, it doesn't even matter.
00:56Good on you.
00:58Thank you very much.
00:59Paige.
01:02It's a very brave decision that you've made.
01:06And nothing is more important, not the block, not building it, nothing is more important than your mental health.
01:12And it is a big decision and a brave one that you both made.
01:16I hope so.
01:18Yeah, I'm really sorry.
01:23How did it get to this?
01:32You need to find some sort of compromise for me.
01:34I've been nothing but accommodating for you.
01:37I get that.
01:38Find it for me. I've been nothing but accommodating for you.
01:40Jessie and Paige have had a rough probably first month on the block.
01:43You know, you never know what's going on behind closed doors, I suppose.
01:46It's none of your business, really.
01:51I don't know what it is about the east side of this country.
01:55Everyone's just so emotional, man.
01:58She's not like that all the time, you know.
02:00Tiredness, fatigue.
02:02It turns you into someone different.
02:05Like, I don't want to sit in a circle and kumbaya and talk about my feelings when I don't have any.
02:10Sort of had one of those feelings where you knew something was up.
02:12I kind of wish they would have just come to us.
02:14Maybe we could have, I don't know, supported them.
02:17Just been there for them in that shitty time.
02:21You're, like, overwhelmed right now.
02:23I'm not overwhelmed.
02:25Don't you dare.
02:26Why do you have to carry on like this?
02:27You are being such a narcissist right now.
02:30I go zero to 100 really, really quick.
02:33But I also go from 100 to zero very quick.
02:35Because I don't want to just be consistently angry.
02:40I just don't even want to talk about it because I'm like you.
02:43I don't feel like embarrassing you all the time.
02:46I just need a minute from you.
02:48Seriously.
02:49No worries.
02:50It's hard to say whether or not, I guess, whether they're coming together as a team or if they're drifting apart.
02:56Like, we hear things, but we don't talk about that.
02:59Just work on basic communication, Jesse.
03:02Work on some basic respect.
03:04I feel like you need to bring your brain back down to earth.
03:08I did go check up on him before Sunday.
03:12And yeah, I don't know.
03:14There was just something about Paige.
03:16I could see it in her eyes.
03:17I was like, are you all right?
03:18She's just like, yeah, I'm fine.
03:20But I don't know.
03:21And it's a way of self-talk that you go, it's OK, it's OK.
03:24But it's also damaging being like that.
03:27Because then you're just pretending everything's OK when it's probably really not OK.
03:33And pretty bad and ugly inside.
03:43It's all right.
03:57I was annoyed because I just want you to listen to me about what I'm saying at times.
04:01Mate, you weren't saying anything.
04:02That's the problem.
04:04You're frustrated because you have someone that doesn't want to be here so get rid of them.
04:07Because I just want you to—
04:08To want to be here.
04:09You want me to want to be here.
04:10No, I've told you what I'm gonna do to try and help you
04:12You want me to want to be here and I don't
04:15Then walk out, man!
04:18Why the f*** do you yell at me all the time?
04:20Because I'm just so sick
04:21No one's yelling here
04:22I'm just...
04:23You're the only person yelling
04:24You don't understand how much pressure is being put on me
04:26I felt it in the whole first f***ing week, Jesse
04:28I understand the pressure
04:30I didn't crack under it, you do
04:33I'm... I'm...
04:34I'm not listening to a thing you said after you speak to me like that again
04:36You speak to me like f*** like that as well
04:38I never fell over like that
04:41I've heard Jesse and Paige fighting a bit
04:43Yep
04:44Um, which I said to her
04:45We hear it because they're obviously next door
04:47And it's healthy to argue to an extent
04:49But yeah, sometimes it's getting extreme on the wall
04:56I don't want you to leave and I don't like...
04:58That's great! I know you don't want me to leave
05:00But I want me to leave, so we're out of Dale, mate
05:02Walk out, man! Like, what are you doing here?
05:04You haven't had a conversation with me
05:06You think I'm gonna walk out and get on a plane without talking to you?
05:10I'm literally, nearly mentally checked out
05:13Yes, that's just giving up
05:14It's not giving up!
05:15How many times do you want to have this conversation?
05:19It takes a lot
05:21It's been, um, maybe rocky
05:23Or maybe not, um...
05:26I don't think they're having the experience that
05:29The rest of us are having
05:30Which is, like, really, um, sad
05:37I don't want to be here
05:41Do I need to spell it out again?
05:43Okay, so what's next then?
05:44I'm doing what is best for me, not for you
05:48What about what's best for us?
05:50There is no us
05:51I'm not prepared to be selfless enough for us
05:54To compromise my mental health this much
05:57But you don't know that
05:58Yes, I do! Because I know myself
06:00Because I know myself
06:02You actually f***ing don't
06:04I just think it's bullshit
06:05How I'm always the f***ing public enemy number one
06:07When this shit just happens
06:08You're not!
06:09Sorry, that at this exact moment
06:11I'm at my end of the f***ing tether with you
06:14How do you think I feel as well, though?
06:16I don't give a f*** how you feel
06:17Deal with it yourself
06:19I have no resilience left in me
06:22I've got nothing
06:25With Jessie and Paige
06:26I think being in the environment that we're in
06:29On the block
06:30Probably not the right environment
06:32To try and deal with any situation
06:35And get yourself in a right state
06:38You've got to put your hand up and say
06:39I need help
06:40And then to let others know around you
06:42That you're going through that
06:43It's okay not to be okay
06:44Yeah, exactly right
06:47With Paige and Jessie
06:48They've tried so hard
06:49But I think it's braver to realise
06:52That there's a problem
06:53And to be able to actually step away
06:55To get the help that they need
07:01Hey, Paige
07:02Josie's here to speak to us
07:04Hi guys
07:05Hi
07:06You're sounding like you guys were
07:08Having a lot of trouble today
07:10Yeah
07:11And I wanted to check in
07:14Obviously it's not the first
07:16Sort of one-off night like this
07:18Where you're having a bit of a tough time
07:21I could hear a relationship
07:24That was sounding a bit
07:26Like you were having a tough time
07:29That was sounding pretty bad
07:32Your neighbours can hear you
07:34I know
07:35As well, you know
07:36Paige, have you reached out
07:37To any of the counselling stuff that you've got?
07:39Because that's why we have that stuff in place
07:41So that you get
07:43You don't have to voice all of your feelings
07:45Yeah
07:46To just Jessie
07:48We really need to get some other people in
07:51To talk to you
07:52Yeah
07:53Or you guys need to make a big decision
08:30Is there anywhere you want us first?
08:32You go wherever you want
08:33We'll follow you, okay?
08:34Everyone's ready everywhere
08:35Okay
08:41Does the crew know?
08:43Yeah, they know
08:46Monday was a weird day on the block
08:48We were about to go on our
08:50Winners and Grinners dinner
08:51A night away
08:53And
08:54And then Jessie and Paige came in
08:57Oh, hello, hello
08:59What's wrong?
09:01We just wanted to come chat with you guys
09:04About?
09:05Because we're not going to
09:07Keep going
09:09What do you mean?
09:10Yeah
09:11When the decision was made
09:12I even just felt relieved
09:14Why?
09:15I think like
09:17I just haven't been myself
09:19Like at all
09:20I've really mentally struggled
09:22Yeah, she's
09:23I mean, she's been like a
09:25Cry for help for the last maybe week
09:27Yeah, I really have been
09:28But I've chosen to ignore it
09:29Because of how much I want to stay here
09:31But I think it's come to the realisation
09:33That I need to
09:35Put her first
09:37Aw, don't
09:39You guys
09:41Paige described it as
09:43She feels like she hasn't been herself
09:45Which is really concerning
09:46You don't ever want to feel
09:48Like you're not being yourself
09:51I just like
09:52It was just like
09:53A black hole in my head
09:55Like really bad
09:59She just wants to feel
10:01Normalcy again
10:03And in order for her to do that
10:05She has to leave
10:07And not be in this
10:08Environment
10:09Environment
10:10Yeah
10:15Yeah
10:16It's so, so hard
10:17We don't want to leave here but
10:19I think Paige has realised that
10:21It's the right decision
10:22I was so angry
10:23I was so agitated
10:24Like I was just
10:27I wasn't like myself at all
10:29Yeah
10:30Because I'm not those things
10:32Basically said that they weren't coping
10:34Yeah
10:35With the pressure of the situation
10:37And the block
10:38And I think it was more from Paige's
10:40Point of view
10:41And Jesse wanted to stay but
10:43Obviously he's going to do the best thing
10:44For his fiancé
10:46But we had a really
10:47We had a bit of an argument on Friday night
10:49And it's
10:51I realise what we've been doing wrong
10:52Where we need to change
10:53But I think it's just gone too far
10:55Where it's like
10:57Forgot who we are as
10:59As individuals and
11:01It's more me
11:02I'm being very like
11:03Mentally struggling
11:05I haven't really been myself
11:07Is there anything we can do?
11:09We've like
11:10A lot of
11:11Yeah
11:12A lot of considerations
11:13Being given to this decision
11:15Yeah
11:16We've tried everything
11:17Me staying on
11:18Paige going home for a little bit
11:20But yeah
11:21End of the day
11:22As much as I want
11:23Like I want to stay here
11:24And I want to be a part of this
11:25Paige comes first
11:27The fact that they were
11:28You know
11:29That they had enough guts to come out
11:31And say it on
11:32You know
11:33National TV that
11:34They're dealing with some things
11:35And that they need to take care of them
11:37They don't want to go
11:38But they need to
11:39Yeah
11:40Took a lot of guts
11:41I miss you so much
11:49You know
11:50When you're in situations like this
11:51And we are all going through
11:52The same experience together
11:53I feel like I should have been there
11:55More for Paige
11:56And maybe saw the signs
11:58That you know
11:59She wasn't quite okay
12:00Which makes me feel worse
12:01Because what kind of friend was I
12:03If I couldn't see
12:04How she was actually feeling
12:12I was so angry all the time
12:14I was so like
12:17I just wasn't acting like myself
12:20That's the hard thing
12:21You don't want to feel like you failed
12:22Like you're the one
12:23That got yourself into this
12:24Yeah exactly
12:25But like it's
12:27It's like next level
12:28It's not the end
12:29Like
12:30Outside of this
12:31Is so much more important
12:33Hey, hey, hey
12:34How are you?
12:35Good, how are you?
12:36Good on you
12:37Thank you very much
12:38Paige
12:39Thank you
12:41It's a very
12:43Brave decision that you've made
12:45And nothing is more important
12:47Not the block
12:48Not building it
12:49Nothing is more important
12:50Than your mental health
12:51And
12:52It is a big decision
12:53And a brave one
12:54That you've both made
12:55I think we probably all
12:56Had to make that decision together
12:57Yeah
12:58Yes
12:59And you know
13:00I feel as though
13:01You know
13:02For people suffering
13:03With mental health issues
13:04This is an inspiration
13:05For them to maybe
13:06Make a decision as well
13:07100%
13:08I hope so
13:09You know
13:10We feel as though
13:11You need to get to a place
13:12Out of here
13:13That's you know
13:14Where you can best
13:15Take care of yourself
13:16100%
13:17Okay
13:18100%
13:19Yeah
13:20Righty up
13:21No thank you so much
13:22For Scotty
13:23For the opportunity
13:24And everything you've done
13:25It's been such an experience
13:26Yes
13:27And you should be proud
13:28Of what you've done so far
13:29You know
13:30We're all proud
13:31Look at the
13:32Your friendship
13:33That you've got here
13:34Yeah everyone's unreal
13:35Yeah
13:36Good on you
13:37It hurts
13:38I mean
13:39I've known these people
13:40For a lifetime already
13:41Take care
13:42You're pushing on
13:43Take care
13:44See you man
13:45Love you dad
13:46Have the best time alright
13:47So sad to see you go mate
13:48Yeah
13:49Miss you
13:50I'm sad
13:51No more road trips
13:52But we'll have some later
13:53We'll have some girl road trips
13:54Later after the show's done
13:55Yeah
13:56Without Girl Dad
13:57It was definitely sad
13:58To see them say goodbye
13:59But yeah
14:00We have
14:01Yeah
14:02A lot of respect for them
14:03To be able to do that
14:04Thank you
14:05All the best guys
14:06Thank you
14:07Love you guys
14:08Love you all
14:09See you later
14:10Bye
14:11See you later
14:12Thanks Scotty
14:13See you Frankie
14:14They'll have
14:15Other opportunities in life
14:16And things that are
14:17More exciting in their eyes
14:18And yeah
14:19Things that might not
14:20Cause them as much
14:21You know
14:22Stress and pressure
14:23And things like that
14:24I hope they
14:25Come across that excitement
14:26But yeah
14:27It's
14:28It was really sad
14:29Yeah
14:32Love you all
14:33Bye bye
14:34See ya
14:37Be happy
14:38Thank you
14:39Love you
14:40Too
14:46As everyone said
14:47From day one
14:48You're part of the Block family
14:49And you'll be part of the Block family
14:50For life
14:51So
14:52Sam goes for them
14:53That is for the best
14:57Yeah
14:59We've got a block to build
15:01We've gotta move forward
15:03Onward and upward
15:07It's a sombre morning on the block as House 1's Jessie and Paige have permanently left
15:31And all the other couples are in shock
15:39I know it's a lot to take in and it's very shocking news today
15:43There has been some behaviour, you know, over the last couple of weeks that was concerning for us
15:49We had to do the best thing for Jessie and Paige
15:54And we also had to base it on the best advice that we could get
15:59So I called in our psychologist, which we have on standby at all times
16:04And to come and have a chat with them over the weekend, last night in fact
16:08And I think Paige made that decision along with us
16:13It was her call and I think she's quite relieved
16:16They're flying back to Perth to be with their family and get the care that they need
16:21And I can tell you that they will be 100% supported by the Nine Network to make sure that happens
16:29We'll keep you informed and we'll let you know about how their progress is
16:33And keep you in touch in the loop for the rest of the series
16:37I know it's tough, but we've got to move forward
16:41What happens to their house now, Scotty?
16:43We're not too sure yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I know
16:48But we've got a block to build, onward and upward
16:51The show must go on, Scotty?
16:52The show must go on
16:53Well, it doesn't have to, but it's up to you guys, but I think it should
16:56It should go on
16:58Well done for supporting them both so beautifully
17:02And I feel as though they left a little bit happier because of the support from you guys
17:09Righto, see you later
17:11I'll see you in tea
17:19Yeah, it's only been four weeks, five weeks, but you're with them every single day
17:23It's just devastating
17:29I just wish she would have said something to us
17:31I know
17:32I feel bad, like we didn't know anything
17:34That spiral, you come out of it
17:36Yeah
17:37You need to kind of just remove yourself
17:39Yeah
17:40It's hot, like, it's just...
17:42I didn't expect it
17:43No, neither
17:44Yeah, like Jesse said, he struggled in week one
17:46And then it's sort of, Paige has struggled since then
17:49Yeah
17:50I get where he's coming from, I think you'd be the same
17:52If either of these guys didn't want to do it, I wouldn't do it
17:54Oh, yeah, I know
17:56But it's hard
17:58Did you know that was coming?
18:00Not really
18:01I didn't see that coming
18:03Like, Jesse, Jesse's one of the happiest blokes
18:05And one of the nicest blokes you'll ever meet
18:08And so is Paige, to be fair
18:10So, yeah, to see him upset like that, it was pretty heartbreaking
18:14Like, you don't know what's going on inside, you know, across the road
18:19You know, you don't know if someone's really struggling
18:21And it's, you know, it's really important, you know, that we ask that question
18:25Are you OK? You know?
18:28We just heard, like, a lot of arguing, to be honest
18:30And I just...
18:32Especially the last few days
18:33Yeah
18:34Yeah, see, we don't know where it's coming from
18:36We can hear it, but we can't tell if it's...
18:37We can hear me laughing, and then I can always hear them arguing
18:40Yeah
18:41Like, just recently, like, I think it was just getting a lot
18:43Yeah
18:44I mean, I get it, we're always arguing too, like, it's just...
18:47Yeah, high pressure
18:49What are you going to do to process this for the rest of the day?
18:52God, I'm not sure
18:55Maybe just try and stay busy
18:57Can't imagine how hard that was for them to do, so...
19:00And just how hard this experience is going to be without them as well
19:04We're all here for the same reasons
19:07We're all just genuine people, just trying to get our head a little
19:10I think them looking after themselves was the right choice
19:13Yeah, 100%
19:14You know, a lot of people do have mental health issues
19:17If you don't speak about it, you're not OK
19:20Like, you need to get help and do something
19:24Syke said that they need urgent care
19:28It's actually scary
19:30I just hope that they'll be OK now
19:32It's just, like, to know that that's where they're at
19:39That's where they were at and how they've been feeling
19:41That just, like, it just really upsets me
19:44And we're a big block family, like, we are so close
19:47We all love each other a lot
19:50And we 100% support them and their decision
19:58It kind of just puts things into perspective as well
20:01Like, you just get so caught up in your own house and your own s***
20:07I don't know, I just wish, like, we could have done a bit more
20:10Don't you feel guilty? A little bit bad?
20:12I feel sorry for them, yeah
20:13Like, when they were arguing, like, I wish I kind of went over and just asked them
20:21I 100% know they're doing the right thing
20:23It's just heartbreaking knowing that they're not going to be here with us to the end
20:28You know, they produce amazing rooms, like, they have...
20:31They finished in a high
20:32Yeah, it's a message to everyone
20:34Like, everyone in Australia, everyone here, like, you just...
20:37Yeah, you never know what people are going through
20:42Yeah, it's just be nice to people, be nice to everyone
20:46Yeah
20:47We should have checked on them a bit more
20:49Yeah
20:50Winter
20:56Coming up
20:57Three metres, it's big
20:59We've still got a block to build
21:01You'd have to demolish part of that wall
21:03Just leave that one
21:04What would Shaina do?
21:05Ticker changing and compromising
21:07Me too
21:11The weather rolls in
21:12What are we going to do?
21:13I'm going to sort it out
21:15There's a whole heap of rain coming, this is only the beginning
21:18Wild
21:20And with Block Royalty, Ronnie and George are in town
21:22for our Winners are Grinners dinner
21:24I put them to work over in House 1
21:27Now it's game time
21:28Buttering us up before they slaughter us
21:30Yeah
21:31But is it all too much for some?
21:33If they come on, I'm leaving
21:35I'm done
21:37You reckon they're going to get an opportunity to win cash?
21:39Of course they are
21:41No, seriously, like, I'm out
21:50While each house comes to terms with losing Jesse and Paige
21:54moving forward is the right thing to do
21:57So they're taking the opportunity to plan this week's rooms
22:01and get their heads back in the game
22:03Thanks for watching
22:07At last night's judging, the team in House 2 came in third place on 27 points
22:12We'll learn from the judges
22:14Yeah
22:15Depending on what their feedback is
22:17The majority of the time, like, it's constructive
22:19and then we'll try and put that into the next room
22:21And because today is a public holiday, no building is allowed
22:25and each house can only plan for the week ahead
22:28using the domain In The Know website
22:32That's the main bedroom
22:33Would you like to take a look?
22:35Hi, Granny
22:36Granny, wow
22:39This week I've suggested Granny and all the other contestants
22:42use $16,000 from their ComBank budget
22:45to complete their main bedroom and walk-in robes
22:48What is a main bedroom?
22:49Why is it changed from master?
22:51Because there is no masters anymore
22:53No, main is a bit more inclusive
22:54and it's just the main area of the house
23:01I found the most amazing bed from Create Estate
23:05which is available at Block Shop
23:07It's beautiful, it has, like, this olive ruched fabric
23:10It's a big statement
23:13This week, House 2's main bedroom
23:15will have a mortar timber feature wall, sitting area
23:18curved plaster in all the corners
23:20and in their hallway ceiling
23:22But their hero piece will be their olive green bed frame
23:27What we want to do is an archway through the hallway
23:30Monday's always tough
23:31We also have this massive shock of it being main bedroom
23:34in such a short week
23:35I do get in my own head a little bit
23:36where I'm like, oh, should I do this and should I do that?
23:38The judges are going to like that
23:39What are they going to say about this?
23:40And then sometimes I overthink
23:42So if we did do an arch, right, can you have a door
23:44like a sliding cavity door in the arch or no?
23:47What have we got?
23:48You've already got this built, right?
23:50Yeah
23:51Can't do it
23:52So you'd have to demolish part of that wall
23:54Yeah, not too much
23:55in order to get your slider into it
23:56Yeah
23:57I think just leave that one
23:58What would Shaina do?
23:59That's what I need to think
24:03Someone who cares less about what the judges think
24:06is Carly in house four
24:08who came in second place last night
24:10by only half a point
24:12and would have won if they'd used their bonus point penguin
24:15Oh, I loved coming second
24:18but I don't love the fact that they love my room
24:23Let's talk about the elephant in the room
24:25or penguin, as it were
24:28They've done it
24:29This is where they need to be
24:31I think the colour palette, the textures
24:34This is phenomenal
24:36They're building a really appealing house
24:38Yeah
24:39Carly and Brett, decision time
24:43You're not?
24:44No
24:45You sure?
24:46You don't want to play it?
24:47No, thank you
24:49In a weird way, I didn't play the penguin
24:51because I didn't love my room
24:55So I didn't want to try and use it
24:56and win on a room that I'm like, eh
24:58I just did it because I was told to type thing
25:01I'm also just the average person that likes a particular style
25:04and there's a lot more of me in the world
25:07than there is of expert advice people
25:10so
25:12Look at him, he's like cringing
25:13He's like, oh, f***
25:15Which is true though
25:16I'm just an average person on an average wage
25:19making an honest living and
25:21Average house
25:22Average
25:24Well, this week's room will be far from average
25:27as it will be the largest room they've built so far
25:32Do you want that white?
25:35Or shogiban?
25:37Needs to be the shoshogiban
25:41Ah, the return of shosugiban
25:44A Japanese term meaning charred timber cladding
25:47which got high praise from the judges in their ensuite
25:50Shoshogiban, we're having that all the way across our back wall
25:54House 4's main bedroom will consist of their black shosugiban
25:58Feature wall with recessed up lighting
26:01Hanging pendants and a king-size bed
26:03But that's not all
26:05Well, Grafico, I've been speaking with Damien about doing
26:09sort of more of a metallic gold
26:11Coffer ceiling
26:12Yeah
26:13Coffer ceiling
26:14Coffer
26:15Coffer
26:16Coffer
26:17Coffered
26:18Coffered
26:19Coffin
26:20I think coffered
26:21Coffered
26:22No, no, not a coffin
26:23Coffered
26:24Meaning recessed ceiling
26:25Recessed ceiling will be inlaid with a golden Grafico finish
26:28which will also be applied to the ceiling of their walk-in rug
26:32God, I hope I'm sticking to this design
26:34I just know the judges will be off it this week again
26:37I'm sick of changing and compromising
26:39Me too
26:40Yeah
26:41Another team who have been searching for a winning style
26:44are the boys in House 3
26:46who tied for last place at judging with 26.5 points
26:50Yeah, we want to win desperately this week
26:52so we got some really good positive feedback
26:54that we're heading in the right direction
26:56and we even got our own personal style
26:58I believe it was Shana who has called our style Holiday Resort
27:03That is their look and feel now
27:05I think it should be Holiday Resort
27:07It's theirs
27:08Run with it
27:09For me, as long as you're doing better than what you were last week
27:12you know, a win's always going to be around the corner
27:14House 3's main bedroom will consist of a porter timber feature wall
27:18sitting below their palm tree wallpaper
27:21with light and white textures across their bedding and flooring
27:25and this morning, the pair are currently discussing wardrobe layout with foreman Dan
27:30What's on this wall?
27:31Cabinetry
27:33Cabinetry the whole way
27:34Yep, and cabinetry on that wall too
27:36So we've added these pull-out mirrors
27:39I wonder if you buy a full-length mirror that just stands against the wall
27:42A full-length mirror is a must
27:43A full-length mirror, not just...
27:45because we were going to put a desk in
27:47like a make-up desk
27:48because they like to look at the whole outfit
27:50That's me at the gym too
27:51When you're at the gym
27:52I don't want to just see the top part
27:54You want to see it all
27:55I want to see quads, calves, ankles
27:57So when you're doing squats in here
27:59you need to go out into the full-length mirror
28:07Over at House 5, Christian and Mimi are hoping to continue their hot streak this week
28:11after their third win at Sunday night's judging
28:14They scored 28 points
28:16which also saw them win a $10,000 Hayfley wardrobe upgrade
28:21Wow, wait, where's our walk-in robe start?
28:23Our walk-in robe is...
28:27here
28:28So from there we've got like one, two
28:31It's like three metres, it's big
28:34Unlike the other houses, Christian and Mimi's main bedroom is upstairs on their first floor
28:39Our prize this week was a $10,000 Hayfley wardrobe upgrade
28:45This means that in addition to their cabinetry
28:48their walk-in robe will have some very nice additions
28:51including leather finishes on their bench seat
28:54on their coat hangers, valued at $300 each
28:57and the inlaid inside their accessory drawers
29:00making the space feel very luxurious
29:03Massive, it's a massive walk-in wardrobe
29:05and we're making it open as well
29:07so it kind of opens up the whole space into the main bedroom
29:11You have so much port-a-timber to...
29:13Get upstairs, I know
29:16Our secret weapon this week is the port-a-timber
29:19Floor to ceiling!
29:22Because of their raked ceiling
29:24it means their port-a-timber would need to stretch 4.2 metres high
29:28making it the tallest feature wall on the block
29:31I think the main bedroom can potentially sell the house
29:35Oh, it can definitely sell the house
29:37because it's really grand, it looks really luxe
29:39and I think that's the thing that's going to set us apart
29:43Are you forgetting the other thing you won
29:45that is luxe and could set you apart?
29:47The winner of week four on the block
29:50and taking home the Gucci dress and earrings
29:54Christian and Mimi
30:10Meow, meow
30:16But we're very proud of ourselves
30:17We're very proud
30:18A very rewarding feeling
30:19I just want to get these earrings off
30:21because they're hurting my ears
30:22And I want to get this dress off before I ruin it
30:30Just like the blockheads, why not head to Domainz in the Know Hub
30:34for exclusive details on this week's rooms
30:36Every week there'll be expert advice, floor plans and much more
30:40helping contestants navigate another huge week of renovations
30:51It was a public holiday with no power tools
30:56But just down the road, are they breaking the rules?
31:01So the rule is, you can't be ordering the following week's materials
31:06the week prior to site, there's no way to store it
31:09and it's just a straight no-no, so you can't do that
31:12It seems like they might be breaking a block commandment
31:15Thou shall not build nor have materials delivered on a public holiday
31:20So we've decided that we're going to get it dropped to Dunks House
31:30We're definitely not here to break any rules
31:33We definitely want to know where the line is
31:36And just like Dunks said to us last week
31:38it's important to know where the line is
31:40Not to cross it, but just work in and around that line
31:47The rules clearly state, I asked Dan
31:49and he said you can't get timber delivered to the block
31:52So we didn't, we had it delivered here
31:54So, all fair
31:56We only need obviously one strap
31:59Oh, you can call it cheeky, but it's within the rules
32:02We're pretty excited, we reckon despite losing a day
32:05that we can deliver three rooms this week
32:07So we can't wait to get in
32:08That's right, three rooms
32:10Not only will the boys be tackling their bedroom and walk-in robe
32:14but they'll also be trying to finish off their infamous A&O suite as well
32:19What the f*** is this?
32:22Yeah, we want this bathroom behind us
32:25The waterproof bathroom, so if we can get this done
32:29We have a lot to do today, but if we can get this done
32:32the boys are a red hot chance for a win
32:34Good stuff
32:36Thanks boys
32:37Good work over the weekend
32:39You too, you too
32:40We'll see how this goes down when we're delivering timber down the...
32:43I'm looking forward to what you say
32:45I am dying to see if a contestant sees them driving in
32:48That would be amusing
32:50You also, if anyone's angry
32:52I think it's going to be because they didn't think of it
32:55The other contestants may not know yet
32:58I think there's going to be some shock
33:00and maybe some questions asked
33:02whether we are playing within the rules or not
33:05Technically they are in the clear and haven't broken any rules
33:09Da da da da da, da da da da da
33:17I'd be very surprised if someone didn't ask for some clarification
33:23Which we will definitely enjoy giving
33:28Got some timber
33:30Yeah, they had it delivered down the road
33:32I'll be using that next public holiday mate
33:35Smart
33:37Very smart
33:46Phillip Island is not only a beach town
33:49but it also boasts beautiful farmland
33:52and that's just where Christian and Mimi are heading in their Ford Ranger
33:59Tonight the couple will be staying 10 minutes down the road
34:02at Five Acres Luxury Farmstay
34:05and having a winner's or grinner's dinner
34:07with me and some block royalty
34:09As I drove in I turned
34:11and then I saw the back of their heads
34:13and lost my mind
34:15Ah! Ah!
34:16Who is it?
34:17Ah!
34:18Who is it?
34:19Oh my God, I swear to God
34:21Who is it?
34:22Which is not very safe when I'm behind the wheel
34:25So next time when we go to these things you should drive
34:28Hey guys
34:30Ronnie and Georgia meet Mimi and Christian
34:34Yay!
34:37Ronnie and Georgia were exactly how they are on TV
34:43Just exactly the same
34:45How you see them on TV, that's how they are in real life
34:48All Stars Ronnie and Georgia appeared on both Elston Week
34:51and Hampton Seasons of the Block
34:53and hold the title for the most weekly room wins
34:56of any contestant in the show's history
35:00Passion!
35:01Now, we've got a beautiful dinner planned
35:04and we've got the chat with block royalty
35:07Oh!
35:10It almost kills me to say that
35:12Yes, got it
35:13Oh my God
35:14It's actually royalty
35:15Now why don't you guys go to your cabin
35:17and freshen up and get ready
35:19and then meet us in here in about 10 minutes
35:21Alright, sounds good
35:22We were at Five Acres
35:24which is a beautiful cabin, little cabin
35:28Oh!
35:30Are you kidding?
35:31Oh my God!
35:38Five Acres is five stars
35:41It is such a beautiful property
35:43I'm very blessed to be here right now
35:45We needed this
35:53Hey cow!
35:54Moo!
35:55Moo!
35:56Moo!
35:58Five star, three star
36:00Five kilos of mince
36:05We love shopping at Odie
36:07but shopping to cook up a chump dinner
36:09is not something we want to be frequent to
36:11This will be our last chump shop trip
36:14We've said that before
36:15Next time we shop as champs
36:17because champs do the eating, chumps do the shopping
36:20Yeah
36:22Cheers to you guys
36:26In 2017 we came third
36:28and in 2021 we came last
36:31I was livid
36:34Livid
36:35I was so annoyed
36:37Thank you
36:39As we said, Block Royalty
36:41done it a couple of times before
36:43like they've won
36:44they've got the record for the most rooms won
36:46Rightio, ask some questions
36:49You've got an opportunity
36:51Do you feel like organisation is key
36:54and pre-planning like pretty much your whole house?
36:57I feel like by Wednesday I'm not shopping anymore
37:00because I already know what my room's done
37:02Yeah
37:03Been on two blocks
37:04They know the ins and outs
37:05They know how to wheel and deal
37:07and they're just experienced
37:11What have you got to offer, Ronnie and Georgia?
37:13Well, funny you say that Scotty
37:15Knowledge
37:16This is enough
37:18Four weeks, free painting
37:21I mean, you're off to a flying start
37:23Four weeks in, you've won three
37:25and guys, cash is king
37:27and on that note
37:29There you go
37:32Congratulations
37:33There you go, 10,000 bucks from four
37:38What else would you want to be doing on a Monday night?
37:40Better being here than on the block
37:45Tools down
37:46Where are they?
37:47I don't know how we find the time to do all this
37:49Resident chefs
37:50There's only one way to get out of being a chump
37:52and that's cooking a champ dinner
37:54And we've whipped up one of the great Aussie classics
37:57I'm pretty sure this is Aussie's invented spag bol
38:01Go with it
38:02So this is an Aussie nays
38:04Corkage with your B-Y
38:05Enjoy it
38:09Oh, the chump's chomped down
38:10Service with a smile, I love it
38:13Thank you
38:14It's not long before they're all discussing
38:16who will be moving into house one
38:19He said, do you care if an ex-contestant comes in?
38:22The kitchen's already been chosen
38:23So many things have already been chosen
38:25How do you come in and
38:26you can't be a fresh face delivering someone else's style
38:29It'll have to be Scotty
38:31or an all-star or an ex-contestant or someone like that
38:34There's a whole heap of rain coming
38:36This is only the beginning
38:38I reckon in about
38:40probably in about an hour
38:42there'll be 20ml of water in here
38:44and then all of this water
38:45because there's a grain in the slab
38:48that's going back that way
38:49and we're just watching the water
38:50just make its way underneath
38:52our completed rooms
38:54and towards where we're moving into house one
38:56So we've got a lot of water
38:57We've got a lot of water
38:58We've got a lot of water
38:59We've got a lot of water
39:00We've got a lot of water
39:01We've got a lot of water
39:02and towards where we're working tomorrow
39:06Wild!
39:12We have like dripping down
39:15I can see it
39:17Is the block hard?
39:19Is the block hard?
39:21Now you remember
39:22they're going to cut straight to when you said
39:23this is going to be a holiday, eh?
39:26It would be like a holiday
39:28It would
39:32Imagine what's happening
39:33to our whole roof right now
39:36But you guys are from Queensland
39:37You're no strangers to a downpour
39:39No, we're used to a lot of rain
39:42And if it gets into the light
39:43it'll trip the power
39:44and we won't have anything
39:46What are we going to do?
39:48I'm going to sort it out
39:51Well, everyone seemed to blow up
39:52about 40ml
39:5340ml!
39:55It's just a shower in cans
39:56like it really is
39:59What a waste of time
40:02Yeah
40:09Mission accomplished
40:10Yeah, that'll stop it
40:27Oh, we stayed away again
40:28Where did you go?
40:29On the roll?
40:30Did you have power?
40:31Yeah
40:32Lucky we lost power
40:33Did you?
40:34Really?
40:35Have a great day
40:37Thank you

41:24It's gone from a dust bowl
41:25to a mud pit
41:26and absolute chaos
41:28Yep
41:31I think we copped
41:32what was the last time?
41:3370
41:3470 mil of rain
41:35We had some things
41:36that were in great danger
41:37This is our new
41:38landscaping structure
41:40Oh, it's called art
41:41Lawn ornament
41:42Yeah, it's called art
41:45It's a similar story
41:46in House 4
41:47as Brad's efforts last night
41:48to cover his roof
41:49have not stopped
41:50his slab from flooding
41:52Yeah, I'm used to rain
41:53but I don't normally
41:54build a pool
41:55right up my back step, so
41:59Our whole slab
42:00is a swimming pool
42:01with a 150 mil hob
42:03Yep
42:04and the drain hole
42:05is at the high end
42:06so
42:07Nowhere for it to go
42:08Don't know who picked that
42:09but yeah, I've got
42:10some sheets of gyprock
42:11that we plan on using
42:12for the week to come
42:14so I'm trying to make sure
42:16that they're in some kind
42:17of usable state
42:18by the time it comes to it
42:20which is not going to happen
42:21if the slab fills up with water
42:31Over in House 5
42:33Christian and Mimi's
42:34attentions are solely
42:35on finding out

47:21Shin
47:22I'ma new soul
47:25I came to this strange world
47:27Hopin' I could learn a bit
47:29About how to give and take
47:31There have been plenty
47:32of ups and downs
47:33over the last two days
47:34on the blog
47:35Art over in House 2
47:36it's nothing but good news
47:38as Courtney and Gran's
47:39new build team
47:40have started today
47:42We don't have a backup land
47:43We don't have a builder
47:45I'll figure that part out
47:46I'm calling it from now
47:47Don't come back on Thursday
47:48I've done ages.
47:49It's all good.
47:50I'm done.
47:51Thanks for everything.
47:52But I'm not having you on site.
47:53You're a snake.
47:54We've got our new builders building under construction,
47:57which is actually their name.
47:58I don't want to push you guys.
47:59Obviously, we want to finish a room.
48:01That's all right.
48:02Don't worry about cracking the whip.
48:03That's all good.
48:05It's already a different vibe around site,
48:07around our site anyway.
48:09They work at a completely different pace
48:11to what we've seen in the past.
48:12We'll stay back, too.
48:13We're happy to work back a little bit,
48:14whatever we can work till tonight.
48:17Let's do it.
48:18Let's do it.
48:21No worries.
48:22We've got a lot to do.
48:23Just another day.
48:24Art is the new block royalty contestants
48:27that have got one person all riled up.
48:30I see you're pissed off about the Ronnie and George thing.
48:33I am.
48:34Oh, okay.
48:35I told you last night.
48:36It's going to be an all-star.
48:37It's not going to be someone that's going to be random,
48:39new people coming in with that same design,
48:41kitchen already chosen.
48:42Why should they get another opportunity?
48:45You reckon they're going to get an opportunity to win cash?
48:47Of course they are.
48:49We're already five weeks in,
48:51and then all of a sudden they're like,
48:53oh, by the way, here's an all-star team
48:55to take over the rest of the house,
48:58and now you have to go up against them.
49:02And now that they've done this...
49:03They've done nothing.
49:04Nah, I'm done.
49:05Nah.
49:06I told you I'm not going to be nice to people.
49:08Sounds like Kylie needs to scream into a pillow.
49:11Luckily, the trio have arrived at 40 Winks
49:13to check out the in-store bed-match system.
49:16Sitting on the 40 Winks bed, getting my bed-match made.
49:21This is a wild experience.
49:23How can bed massage you into your perfect sleeping position?
49:28It just doesn't.
49:41You all right, mate?
49:42Mm-hm.
49:45Brad wants us to take you back.
49:47We've got someone to pick you up.
49:48No.
49:50Get a taxi to the airport.
49:52Yeah.
49:53Don't do that.
49:54Oh, don't go.
49:56Kylie.
50:03What's going on?
50:04I'm your missus.
50:05How's she going?
50:06She's going to the airport, right?
50:08Because you're here.
50:09So our prank has backfired.
50:11Oh, no.
50:13They're only here for a day.
50:14Yeah.
50:15He was worried I was going to call a body corporate at 12.30.
50:19So the prank's over.
50:20It's over.
50:21All right.
50:22What a day.
50:23I tell you what, come on the block, they said.
50:25Come help out.
50:26Well, that sounds a bit fun.
50:28Today our objective was to give the new team, whoever they are,
50:31give them a leg up and give them the best start to the week
50:35and see what happens.
50:36And then drama ensues, which is, you know, very much like the block.
50:39Just another day on the block.
50:40Yeah.
50:45Hello?
50:47Is it Mimi?
50:48Yeah.
50:49Scotty?
50:50Yeah.
50:51Is Kylie there?
50:52Yeah, she doesn't want to speak.
50:54Can she hear me?
50:56No.
50:57She's walked away.
50:58Kylie.
51:01Well, can you go and get her?
51:02She needs to talk to me.
51:06Kylie.
51:08Kylie, you there?
51:09Scott.
51:10Kylie, just calm down, relax.
51:12I'm relaxed.
51:13You're going to get on a plane and leave us, are you?
51:15Yeah, I'm going to leave, yeah.
51:17Kylie, Ronnie is a bit of a prankster and so am I.
51:21I'm a bit of a prankster as well.
51:23Yeah.
51:24Ronnie and Georgia, and this is the honest truth,
51:26are here for one day only and then they're going home this afternoon.
51:31And I'm extremely busy.
51:32Well, I'm not right now because I'm talking to you.
51:35But I'm extremely busy ringing around trying to find new contestants
51:38that are not ex-contestants to take their place.
51:44Do you get it?
51:45Yeah, I get that.
51:46Are you all right?
51:47Yeah.
51:48Are you happy with me now?
51:50Sure.
51:51All right.
51:52I'll see you later.
51:53I'll see you back here.
51:54Sure.
51:55All right.
51:56Bye.
51:57She's not happy with me.
52:06Tomorrow night...
52:07Today is not going to be fun.
52:09It, like, scares me.
52:10..the nerves are high.
52:14Christian!

52:22Something big's about to happen.
52:23Fresh blood.
52:24Who's our new contestants?
52:26We have new neighbours.
52:27Yeah, they seem so nice.
52:31But not everyone is on the warm welcome bandwagon.
52:35Can you just play nice?
