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.
00:56How are you?
00:57Good mate, good.
00:58Good on you.
00:59Thank you very much.
01:00Paige.
01:03It's a very brave decision that you've made.
01:07And nothing is more important, not the blog, not building it, nothing is more important than your mental health.
01:13And it is a big decision and a brave one that you both made.
01:17I hope so.
01:19Yeah, I'm really sorry.
01:24We could get to this.
01:33You need to find some sort of compromise for me.
01:35I've been nothing but accommodating for you.
01:37I get that.
01:38Find it for me.
01:39I've been nothing but accommodating for you.
01:41Jessie and Paige have had a rough probably first month on the block.
01:44You know, you never know what's going on behind closed doors, I suppose.
01:47It's none of your business, really.
01:51What 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 come by here 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.
02:12Kind 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.
03:43I'm sorry.
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.
04:03That's the problem.
04:04You're frustrated because you have someone that doesn't want to be here.
04:06So 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.
04:10That's what you want.
04:11No, I've told you what I'm going to 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.
04:22You're the only person yelling.
04:23Because you 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.
04:31You do.
04:33I'm just, 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 with you like that.
04:41I heard Jesse and Paige fighting a bit.
04:43Yep.
04:44Which 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 block.
04:56I don't want you to leave and I don't like.
04:58That's great.
04:59I know you don't want me to leave, but I want me to leave.
05:01So we're out of jail, mate.
05:02Walk out, man.
05:03What are you doing here?
05:04You haven't had a conversation with me.
05:06You think I'm going to 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 maybe rocky or maybe not.
05:26I don't think they're having the experience that the rest of us are having.
05:30Which is like really 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 to compromise my mental health this much.
05:57But you don't know that.
05:58Yes, I do.
05:59Because I know myself.
06:00Because I know myself.
06:02You actually don't.
06:04I just think it's bullshit how I'm always the public enemy number one when this shit happens.
06:08You're not.
06:09Sorry that at this exact moment I'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, I think being in the environment that we're in on the block,
06:30probably not the right environment to try and deal with any situation and get yourself in a right state.
06:37You've got to put your hand up and say, I need help.
06:39And then to let others know around you that you're going through that.
06:42It's okay not to be okay.
06:44Yeah, exactly right.
06:46With Paige and Jessie, they've tried so hard, but I think it's braver to realise that there's a problem
06:52and to be able to actually step away to get the help that they need.
07:01Hey Paige.
07:03Josie's here to speak to us.
07:05Hi guys.
07:06Hi.
07:07You're sounding like you guys were having a lot of trouble today.
07:11Yeah.
07:12And I wanted to check in.
07:14Obviously it's not the first sort of one-off night like this where you're having a bit of a tough time.
07:21I could hear a relationship that was going on.
07:27I could hear a relationship that was sounding pretty bad.
07:33Your neighbours can hear you as well, you know.
07:36Paige, have you reached out to any of the counselling stuff that you've got?
07:40Because that's why we have that stuff in place, so that you don't have to voice all of your feelings to just Jessie.
07:48We really need to get some other people in to talk to you.
07:53Yeah.
07:54Well, you guys need to make a big decision.
08:25Is there anywhere you want us first?
08:27You go wherever you want. We'll follow you, OK?
08:29Everyone's ready everywhere, so you wait a bit.
08:31OK.
08:37Does the crew know?
08:39Yeah, they know.
08:42Monday was a weird day on the block.
08:44We were about to go on our Winners and Grinners dinner a night away,
08:49and...
08:51And then Jessie and Paige came in.
08:54Oh, hello, hello.
08:56What's wrong?
08:58We just, like, wanted to come chat with you guys.
09:01About?
09:03Because we're not gonna keep going.
09:06What do you mean?
09:08Yeah.
09:10When the decision was made, like, I even just felt relief.
09:12Why?
09:14I think, like, I just haven't been myself.
09:18Like, at all. I've, like, really mentally struggled.
09:21Yeah, she's, um...
09:23I mean, she's been, like, probably a cry for help for the last maybe week.
09:26Yeah, I really have been.
09:28But I've chosen to ignore it because of how much I want to stay here.
09:30But I think it's come to the realisation that I need to...
09:34Put her first.
09:36Aw, don't.
09:38You guys.
09:40Paige described it as she feels like she hasn't been herself,
09:44which is really concerning.
09:46You don't ever want to feel like you're not being yourself.
09:50I just, like...
09:52It was just, like, a black hole in my head.
09:55Like, really bad.
09:59She just wants to feel normalcy again.
10:03And in order for her to do that, she has to leave
10:07and not be in this environment.
10:10Yeah.
10:13Yeah.
10:15It's so hard.
10:17We don't want to leave here, but I think Paige has realised that.
10:20It's the right decision.
10:22It was so angry. I was so agitated.
10:24Like, I was just...
10:26I wasn't, like, myself at all.
10:28Yeah.
10:30Because I'm not those things.
10:32Basically said that they weren't coping.
10:34Yeah.
10:36With the pressure of the situation and the block.
10:38And I think it was more from Paige's point of view.
10:40And Jesse wanted to stay,
10:42but obviously he's going to do the best thing for his fiancée.
10:46We had a bit of an argument on Friday night.
10:48Yeah.
10:50We realised what we'd been doing wrong, where we needed to change,
10:53but I think it's just gone too far,
10:55where it's, like, forgot who we are as individuals.
11:00It's more me.
11:02I'm being very, like, mentally struggling.
11:05I haven't really been myself.
11:07Is there anything we can do?
11:10We've, like, a lot of...
11:12Yeah, a lot of considerations being given to this decision.
11:16Yeah, we've tried everything.
11:18Me staying on, Paige going home for a little bit.
11:21But, yeah, end of the day, as much as I want to stay here
11:25and want to be a part of this, Paige comes first.
11:28The fact that they were, you know,
11:30that they had enough guts to come out and say it on national TV,
11:34that they're dealing with some things
11:36and that they need to take care of them.
11:38Yeah, took a lot of guts.
11:48You know, when you're in situations like this
11:50and we are all going through the same experience together,
11:53I feel like I should have been there more for Paige
11:56and maybe saw the signs that, you know, she wasn't quite OK,
11:59which makes me feel worse,
12:01because what kind of friend was I if I couldn't see
12:04how she was actually feeling?
12:06Yeah, and that seems so strong
12:09And that's been so long
12:11I was so angry all the time.
12:13I was so, like...
12:15LAUGHTER
12:16I just wasn't acting like myself.
12:19That's the hard thing. You don't want to feel like you failed.
12:22You're the one that got yourself into this.
12:24Yeah, exactly.
12:25But, like, it's... It's, like, next level.
12:27It's not the end.
12:29Like, outside of this is so much more important.
12:32Hey, hey, hey, how are you?
12:35Good on you. Thank you very much.
12:37Paige.
12:40Look, it's a very brave decision that you've made
12:44and nothing is more important, not the block, not building it,
12:47nothing is more important than your mental health.
12:50And it is a big decision and a brave one that you've both made.
12:53I think we probably all had to make that decision together.
12:56Yeah. Yes.
12:57And, you know, I feel as though, you know,
13:00for people suffering with mental health issues,
13:02this is an inspiration for them to maybe make a decision as well.
13:05Absolutely.
13:06I hope so.
13:07I'm sad.
13:08You know, we feel as though you need to get to a place out of here
13:13that's, you know, where you can best take care of yourself.
13:16100%.
13:17OK.
13:18100%.
13:19Yeah.
13:20No, thank you so much, Scotty, for the opportunity
13:22and everything you've done.
13:23It's been such an experience.
13:25Yes, and you should be proud of what you've done so far, you know.
13:29We're all proud of you.
13:31Yeah, everyone's unreal.
13:33Yeah, good on you.
13:34It hurts.
13:35It's really tough to say goodbye.
13:36You know, you feel like you've known these people for a lifetime already.
13:49So sad to see you go, mate.
13:51Yeah.
13:52Miss you.
13:53I'm sad.
13:54No more road trips, but we'll have some later.
13:56We'll have some girl road trips later.
13:59It was definitely sad to see them say goodbye,
14:02but, yeah, we have a lot of respect for them to be able to do that.
14:06All the best, guys.
14:07Love you.
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 other opportunities in life
14:16and things that are more exciting in their eyes
14:18and, yeah, things that might not cause them as much, you know,
14:21stress and pressure and things like that.
14:23I hope they come across that excitement.
14:25But, yeah, it's...
14:26It was really sad.
14:27It was really sad.
14:28Yeah.
14:32Love you all.
14:33Bye.
14:34See ya.
14:41As everyone said, from day one, you're part of the Block family
14:45and you'll be part of the Block family for life,
14:47so the same goes for them.
14:49That is for the best.
14:52There.
14:54We've got a block to build.
14:57We've got to move forward.
14:59Onward and upward.
15:15See ya.
15:20Love you all.
15:21Don't want to go home right now
15:24It's a sombre morning on the Block
15:26as House 1's Jessie and Paige have permanently left the competition
15:31and all the other couples are in shock.
15:34I just want you to know who I am
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,
15:46over the last couple of weeks that was concerning for us.
15:49We had to do the best thing for Jessie and Paige
15:53and we also had to base it on the best advice that we could get.
15:59So I called in our psychologist,
16:02which we have on standby at all times,
16:04to come and have a chat with them over the weekend,
16:06last night in fact,
16:08and I think Paige made that decision along with us.
16:12It was her call and I think she's quite relieved.
16:16They're flying back to Perth to be with their family
16:19and get the care that they need
16:21and I can tell you that, you know,
16:23they will be 100% supported by the Nine Network
16:27to make sure that that happens.
16:29We'll keep you informed and we'll let you know
16:32about how their progress is
16:33and keep you in touch in the loop for the rest of the series.
16:38I 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,
16:45but 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,
16:55but I think it should.
16:56It should go on.
16:57It will go on.
16:58Yeah.
16:59Well done for supporting them both so beautifully
17:02and they, you know, I felt as though they left,
17:05you know, a little bit happier, you know,
17:07because of the support from you guys.
17:09Righto. See you later.
17:12I'll see you, T.
17:18Yeah, it's only been four weeks, five weeks,
17:20but, like, you're with them every single day.
17:22Mm.
17:23It's just devastating.
17:28I just wish she would have said something to us.
17:30I know.
17:31Like, I feel bad.
17:32Like, you know, we didn't know anything.
17:34That spiral, you come out of it.
17:35Yeah, I know.
17:36You need to kind of just remove yourself.
17:38Yeah.
17:39As hot, like, it's just...
17:42I just didn't expect it.
17:43No, neither.
17:44Yeah, like Jessie 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.
17:51I think you'd be the same.
17:52Oh, I do.
17:53If either of these guys didn't want to do it,
17:54I wouldn't do it.
17:55Oh, yeah. I know.
17:56Exactly.
17:57But it's hard.
17:58Did you know that was coming?
18:00Not really.
18:01I didn't see that coming.
18:03Like, Jessie, Jessie's one of the happiest blokes
18:05and one of the nicest blokes she'll ever meet.
18:08And so is Paige, to be fair.
18:10So, yeah, to see him upset like that,
18:12it was pretty heartbreaking.
18:14Like, you don't know what's going on inside,
18:17you 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,
18:24that we ask that question, are you OK?
18:26You know?
18:28We just heard, like, a lot of arguing, to be honest,
18:30and I just...
18:31Especially 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...
18:37You can hear me laughing,
18:38and then I can always hear them arguing,
18:40like, just recently.
18:41Like, I think it was just getting a lot.
18:43Yeah.
18:44I mean, I get it.
18:45We're always arguing, too.
18:46Like, it's just...
18:47Yeah, high pressure.
18:49What are you going to do to process this for the rest of the day?
18:51God, 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
19:02without them as well.
19:04We're all here for the same reasons.
19:07We're all just genuine people just trying to get ahead 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.
19:30Just hope that they'll be OK now.
19:32It's just...
19:33Like, 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...
19:42It just really upsets me.
19:44And we're a big block family.
19:46Like, we are so close.
19:47We all love each other a lot.
19:50And...
19:51But we 100% support them and their decision.
19:58It kind of just puts things into perspective as well.
20:02Like, you just get so caught up in your own house
20:04and your own s**t and...
20:07I don't know, I just wish, like, we could have done a bit more.
20:10You know, don't you feel guilty?
20:12I feel a bit bad.
20:13I feel sorry for them, yeah.
20:14Like, when they were arguing,
20:15like, I wish I kind of went over and just asked them.
20:22I 100% know they're doing the right thing.
20:24It's just heartbreaking,
20:25knowing that they're not going to be here with us to the end.
20:29You know, they produce amazing rooms.
20:31Like, they have...
20:32Finished in a high.
20:33Yeah.
20:34It's a message to everyone.
20:35Like, everyone in Australia, everyone here,
20:37like, you just...
20:38Yeah, you never know what people are going through.
20:43Yeah, it's just...
20:44Be nice to people, be nice to everyone.
20:47Yeah.
20:48We should have checked on them a bit more.
20:50Yeah.
20:56Coming up...
20:57Three metres.
20:58It's like a... 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?
21:05Sick of changing and compromising.
21:07Me too.
21:08Yeah.
21:10The 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.
21:17This is only the beginning.
21:18Wild.
21:19And 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.
21:26Now 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.
21:40No, seriously, I'm out.
21:52Each house comes to terms with losing Jessie and Paige.
21:55Moving forward is the right thing to do.
21:58So they're taking the opportunity to plan this week's rooms
22:02and get their heads back in the game.
22:04Thanks for watching.
22:08At last night's judging,
22:09the team in House 2 came in third place on 27 points.
22:13We'll learn from the judges.
22:15Yeah.
22:16Depending 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.
22:21Because today is a public holiday,
22:23no building is allowed
22:25and each house can only plan for the week ahead
22:28using the domain inthenow website.
22:32That's the main bedroom.
22:33Would you like to take a look?
22:35Hi, Granny.
22:36Grantee.
22:37Wow!
22:39This week, I've suggested Grantee 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
22:55and it's just the, yeah, main area of the house.
22:57Mm.
22:58To sleep.
23:02I found the most amazing bed from Create Estate,
23:05which is available at a block shop.
23:07It's beautiful, it has, like, this olive ruched fabric.
23:11It's a big statement.
23:14This week, House 2's main bedroom
23:16will have a quarter timber feature wall,
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 where I'm like,
23:37oh, should I do this and should I do that?
23:39Are the judges going to like that?
23:40What are they going to say about this?
23:41And then sometimes I overthink.
23:42So if we did do an arch, right,
23:44can you have a door, like a sliding cavity door
23:47in the arch or no?
23:48What have we got?
23:49You've already got this built, right?
23:51Can't do it.
23:52So you'd have to demolish part of that wall
23:54in 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 4.
24:08Who came in second place last night by only half a point
24:12and would have won if they'd used their bonus point penguin.
24:16Oh, I love coming second.
24:19But 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.
24:29They've done it.
24:30This is where they need to be.
24:32I think the colour palette, the textures, this is phenomenal.
24:37They're building a really appealing house.
24:39Yeah.
24:40Carly 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 and win on a room
24:57that I'm like, eh, I 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, so...
25:12Look at him, he's like cringing.
25:13He's like, oh, f***.
25:14Which is true, though.
25:15I'm just an average person on an average wage,
25:18making an honest living and...
25:21Average as?
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 or sugar bun?
25:37Needs to be the sugar bun.
25:40Ah, the return of shōsugi-ban,
25:43a Japanese term meaning charred timber cladding,
25:46which got high praise from the judges in their ensuite.
25:49Shōsugi-ban, we're having that all the way across our back wall.
25:53Our sports main bedroom will consist of their black shōsugi-ban
25:57feature wall with recessed up-lighting,
26:00hanging pendants and a king-size bed.
26:03But that's not all.
26:04Well, Grafico, I've been speaking with Damien
26:07about doing sort of more of a metallic gold...
26:10Coffer ceiling?
26:12Yeah.
26:13Coffer ceiling?
26:14Coffered?
26:15Coffer?
26:16Coffer?
26:17Coffered?
26:18Coffered?
26:19Coffin?
26:20I think coffered.
26:21Coffered?
26:22No, no, not a coffin.
26:23Coffered, meaning recessed ceiling,
26:25will be inlaid with a golden Grafico finish,
26:28which will also be applied to the ceiling on their walk-in row.
26:31God, I hope I'm sticking to this design.
26:34I just know the judges will be off it this week again.
26:36I'm sick of changing and compromising.
26:38Me too.
26:39Yeah.
26:40Another team who have been searching for a winning style
26:43are the boys in House 3,
26:45who tied for last place at judging with 26.5 points.
26:49Yeah, we wanted 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.
27:15House 3's main bedroom will consist of a portatimber feature wall
27:19sitting below their palm tree wallpaper,
27:21with light and white textures across their bedding and flooring.
27:25And this morning,
27:26the pair are currently discussing wardrobe layout with foreman Dan.
27:30What's on this wall?
27:31All cabinetry.
27:32That's going to be cabinetry the whole way.
27:34Yep.
27:35And cabinetry on that one too.
27:36So we've added these pull-out mirrors.
27:38I wonder if you buy a full-length mirror that just stands against the wall.
27:41A full-length mirror is a must.
27:43A full-length mirror,
27:44not just because 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 don't 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.
28:02LAUGHTER
28:07Over at House 5,
28:08Christian 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 Hayflea wardrobe upgrade.
28:21Wow, wait.
28:22Where's our walk-in robe start?
28:24Our walk-in robe is...
28:27..here.
28:28So from there, we've got, like, one, two...
28:31It's, like, three metres. It's big.
28:34Unlike the other houses,
28:35Christian and Mimi's main bedroom is upstairs on their first floor.
28:39Our prize this week was a $10,000 Hayflea 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. 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.
29:11We 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 will 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 because...
29:35Oh, it can definitely sell the house.
29:37..it's really grand, it looks really luxe,
29:39and I think that's the thing that's going to set us apart.
29:42Are you forgetting the other thing you won
29:44that is luxe and could set you apart?
29:47The winner of week four on the block
29:49and taking home the Gucci dress and earrings,
29:54Christian and Mimi.
29:56SONG PLAYS
30:16But we're very proud of ourselves. We're very proud.
30:18It's a very rewarding feeling.
30:20I just want to get these earrings off because they're hurting my ears.
30:23I need to get this dress off before I ruin it.
30:31Just like the blockheads, why not head to domains in the Know Hub
30:34for exclusive details on this week's rooms.
30:37Every week, there'll be expert advice, floor plans and much more,
30:41helping contestants navigate another huge week of renovations.
30:46SONG PLAYS
30:52T'was a public holiday with no power tools.
30:56But just down the road, are they breaking the rules?
31:04The rule is you can't be ordering the following week's materials
31:08the week prior to site.
31:10There's no way to store it and it's just a straight no-no.
31:13So you can't do that.
31:14It seems like they might be breaking a block commandment.
31:17Thou shall not build nor have materials delivered on a public holiday.
31:22So we've decided that we're going to get it dropped to Dunk's house.
31:27SONG PLAYS
31:30We're definitely not here to break any rules.
31:33We definitely want to know where the line is.
31:36And just like Dunk said to us last week,
31:38it's important to know where the line is, not to cross it,
31:41but just work in and around that line.
31:44SONG PLAYS
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.
31:58Yeah, OK.
32:00Oh, you can call it cheeky, but it's within the rules.
32:02We're pretty excited.
32:03We 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
32:16their infamous A&O suite as well.
32:19What the **** is this?
32:23Yeah, we want this bathroom behind us,
32:25the waterproof bathroom, no matter.
32:27So, if we can get this done, like, we have a lot to do today,
32:31but if we can get this done, the boys are a red-hot chance for a win.
32:34Yeah. Good stuff.
32:36Thanks, boys. Good work over the weekend.
32:38We'll see how this... You 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. Yeah.
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.
32:57I think there's going to be some shock. Yeah.
32:59And maybe some questions asked... Definitely.
33:01..whether we are playing within the rules or not.
33:05Technically, they are in the clear and haven't broken any rules.
33:17I'd be very surprised if someone didn't ask for some clarification.
33:23Which we will definitely enjoy giving.
33:26LAUGHTER
33:28Got some timber?
33:30Yeah, they had it delivered down the road.
33:32We'll be using that next public holiday, mate.
33:34Smart.
33:36Very smart.
33:46Phillip Island is not only a beach town,
33:48but it also boasts beautiful farmland.
33:51And that's just where Christian and Mimi
33:54are heading in their Ford Ranger.
33:57Tonight, the couple will be staying 10 minutes down the road
34:01at Five Acres Luxury Farmstay
34:04and having a winner's or grinner's dinner
34:06with me and some block royalty.
34:09As I drove in, I turned and then I saw the back of their heads
34:12and lost my mind.
34:14Ah! Ah!
34:16Who is it? Ah!
34:17Who is it? Oh, my God, I swear to God!
34:20Who is it?
34:21Which is not very safe when I'm behind the wheel.
34:24So next time when we go to these things, you should drive.
34:28Hey, guys. Hi!
34:30Ronnie and Georgia meet Mimi and Christian.
34:33We did it! We did it!
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.
35:00Fashion!
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.
35:12Oh, my God.
35:13It's actually royalty.
35:15Now, why don't you guys go to your cabin...
35:17Yep.
35:18..and freshen up and get ready
35:19and then meet us in here in about 10 minutes.
35:21Beautiful. Sounds good.
35:22We were at Five Acres,
35:24which is a beautiful cabins, little cabins.
35:28Oh!
35:30Are you kidding?
35:31Oh, my God!
35:38Five Acres is...
35:40Five stars.
35:41..such a beautiful property.
35:43Like, very blessed to be here right now.
35:45We needed this.
35:52Hey, cow!
35:53Oh!
35:54Moo!
35:56Moo!
35:58Five star.
35:59Three star.
36:00Five kilos of mince.
36:05We love shopping at Odie,
36:06but 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.
36:13We've said that before, but, yeah.
36:15Next time, we shop as champs.
36:17Cos champs do the eating, chumps do the shopping.
36:20Yeah.
36:23Cheers to you guys.
36:27In 2017, we came third.
36:29Yeah.
36:30And in 2021, we came last.
36:32I was livid.
36:35Livid?
36:36I was so annoyed.
36:40As we said, Block Royalty,
36:42done it a couple of times before.
36:44Like, they've won,
36:45they've got the record for the most rooms won.
36:47Rightio, ask some questions.
36:50You'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, um, by Wednesday, I'm not shopping anymore
37:00cos I already know what my room's done.
37:02Yeah.
37:03Been on two blocks.
37:04They know the ins and outs.
37:06They know how to wheel and deal,
37:08and they're just experienced.
37:11What have you got to offer, Ronnie and Georgia?
37:14Well, funny you say that, Scotty.
37:15Knowledge.
37:16This is enough.
37:17Four weeks, free painting.
37:20I mean, you're off to a flying start.
37:22Four weeks in, you've won free.
37:24And, guys, cash is king.
37:26And on that note...
37:27There you go.
37:31Congratulations.
37:32There you go, 10,000 bucks from four.
37:37What else would you want to be doing on a Monday night?
37:39Better being here than on the block.
37:44Tools down.
37:45Where are they?
37:46I don't know how we find the time to do all this.
37:48Resident chefs.
37:49There's only one way to get out of being a chump,
37:51and that's cooking a champ dinner.
37:53And we've whipped up one of the great Aussie classics.
37:56I'm pretty sure this is...
37:58Aussie's invented spag bol.
38:00Go with it.
38:01Oh, for sure.
38:02So this is an Aussie nays.
38:03Corkage with your BYO.
38:04Enjoy it.
38:05OK, good.
38:08Oh, the chump's chomped down.
38:09Service with a smile.
38:11I love it.
38:13It's not long before they're all discussing
38:16who will be moving into house one.
38:18You know, he said,
38:19do you care if an ex-contestant comes in?
38:21The 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 or an all-star or an ex-contestant
38:32or someone like that.
38:42There's a whole heap of rain coming.
38:44This is only the beginning.
38:45I reckon in about...
38:48probably in about an hour,
38:50there'll be 20ml of water in here
38:52and then all of this water,
38:53cos there's a...
38:54there's a grate in the slab that's going back that way
38:57and we're just watching the water
38:58just make its way underneath our completed rooms
39:02and towards where we're working alone.
39:06Wild!
39:07Oh!
39:12We have, like, dripping down.
39:15I 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
39:24this is going to be a holiday, eh?
39:26It would be like a holiday.
39:28It would.
39:32Imagine what's happening to our whole roof right now.
39:35But you guys are from Queensland.
39:37You're no stranger to a downpour.
39:39No, we're used to a lot of rain.
39:41And if it gets into the light,
39:42it'll trip the power and we won't have anything.
39:45Well, what are we going to do?
39:48I'm going to sort it out.
39:50Well, everyone seemed to blow up about 40ml.
39:5340ml!
39:54It's just a shower in cans, like it really is.
39:59What a waste of time.
40:06Is this going to accomplish?
40:08Yeah, that'll stop it.
40:25Oh, we stayed away again.
40:26Where did you go? On the island?
40:27Yeah, we...
40:28Did you have power?
40:29Yeah.
40:30Yeah, we lost power.
40:31Did you?
40:32Really?
40:33Have a great day.
40:38Last night was one of the best nights
40:40because even the rain was beautiful last night.
40:42It was loud.
40:44Any damage here?
40:46Not that I know of.
40:47I don't think there's any damage.
40:49I don't know.
40:50Looks good to me.
40:53Someone who isn't in a rush to inspect his site is Ricky.
40:57What's for breakfast?
40:59I had a light and easy ham and cheese sandwich.
41:02I had a light and easy shredded corned beef cheese
41:05and shallot omelette mix.
41:07Today?
41:08Yeah.
41:09Delicious.
41:10Shallot.
41:12Shallot.
41:13Better than shallittles.
41:16Well, there was shallotta rain last night.
41:20Better get in and assess the damage.
41:23Woke up, site was flooded.
41:24It's gone from a dust bowl to a mud pit and absolute chaos.
41:28Yeah.
41:30I think we copped, what was the last one?
41:3270.
41:3370 mil of rain.
41:34We had some things that were in great danger.
41:36This is our new landscaping structure.
41:39Oh, lawn.
41:40Lawn ornament.
41:41Yeah, it's called art.
41:43It's a similar story in House 4
41:45as Brad's efforts last night to cover his roof
41:48have not stopped his slab from flooding.
41:51Yeah, I'm used to rain, but I don't normally build a pool
41:54right up my back step, so...
41:56Our whole slab is a swimming pool with a 150 mil hole.
42:00Yeah.
42:01And the drain hole is at the high end, so...
42:04Nowhere for it to go.
42:05Don't know who picked that.
42:06But, yeah, I've got some sheets of gyprock
42:08that we plan on using for the week to come,
42:11so I'm trying to make sure that they're in some kind
42:14of usable state by the time it comes to it,
42:17which is not going to happen if the slab fills up with water.
42:21Over in House 5,
42:22Krish and Amini's attentions are solely on finding out
42:26who will be filling the vacancy in House 1.
42:29I'm really nervous about this new house.
42:32Really?
42:34What if it's Steph and John?
42:36Yeah.
42:37What if it's Ronnie and George?
42:38What if it's...
42:40I don't know.
42:41I don't know.
42:42I don't know.
42:43I don't know.
42:44I don't know.
42:45I don't know.
42:46I don't know.
42:47I don't know.
42:48I don't know.
42:50I don't know.
42:56Hey, guys, thank you so much for coming back for the whole show.
43:01Don't worry, Scotty.
43:02Is this third time lucky?
43:06This is Mimi and Christian, House 5.
43:08Double story.
43:09Double story.
43:10This is...
43:11This is House 1.
43:12This is where you're going to be.
43:14OK.
43:15All right.
43:16What if it's Ronnie and George?
43:19Whoa.
43:20What is going on?
43:22Holy...
43:23They're going to take over House 1.
43:25And they spend, like, an hour and a half in there.
43:27And they spend, like, the whole time in there.
43:28I was like, why aren't you looking at the other houses?
43:31I just wanted to get an answer.
43:35The main...
43:36Your main builder here is Zach.
43:37Yep.
43:38His off-sider is Nathan.
43:40Nathan, how are you, mate?
43:41Scotty, how are you, mate?
43:42Buddy, I'd like you to meet your new contestants.
43:44New contestants.
43:45Ronnie and George are up.
43:46Let's go.
43:47How are you, mate?
43:48Yeah, good, yourself?
43:49Amazing, mate.
43:50Amazing.
43:51And do you know who these guys are?
43:52No idea.
43:55That's fantastic.
43:56Love it.
43:57Love it.
43:58I've got a few other things to do.
43:59On your knave.
44:00Cheers, Scotty.
44:01Well done, mate.
44:02I love it.
44:03You didn't know that.
44:04It's always best to get off on the right foot with the build team.
44:07You guys want some morning tea?
44:08Yeah.
44:09Yes, sir.
44:10Banana bread, coffee.
44:11Let's do it.
44:12But being all-stars, Ronnie and George
44:14know they've got a huge task ahead of them
44:16to finish their room by Sunday.
44:18That's this week, master bedroom with our walk-in robe here.
44:22Yep.
44:23That's where we're at.
44:27I'm spiralling finding out that they're the new contestants
44:31because of their experience.
44:33Talking to them, like, the night before,
44:36they said they've flipped 18 homes.
44:39Cheers.
44:40Stop talking.
44:41They know the ins and outs.
44:42They have these relationships.
44:44But, Damien, like, I feel like, you know, we go way back.
44:47So I feel like you could just chuck us a little bit extra
44:50because, like, we're going to win this race.
44:52And for you, George, it's a...
44:53Yeah, yeah, thanks, Damien.
44:54What a legend.
44:55They know how to wheel and deal and...
44:57Yep.
44:58No, go for it.
44:59No, I'm just on Globe West.
45:00I'm just, like, saying the Chloe Arc bedside table
45:03is really lovely.
45:05They're just experienced, and that's pretty intimidating.
45:08That's mine, baby.
45:09There we go.
45:10Yeah!
45:11Let's win!
45:12We're on the egg!
45:13Last night was just, like, a fun dinner.
45:16Now it's game time.
45:17Buttering us up before they slaughter us.
45:19Yeah.
45:22Dam, did you hear?
45:25I haven't heard.
45:26What's up?
45:28They're the new contestants.
45:30Who?
45:31Ronnie and Jordan.
45:32Are they?
45:33Yeah.
45:34For house one.
45:36Well, they haven't won a block yet,
45:37so I wouldn't be too worried.
45:38But they win rooms.
45:39Eh?
45:40Well, no, I think both options have been disastrous for them.
45:45I wouldn't be too stressed.
45:47I spiralled.
45:49I went and told Kylie.
45:51Kylie spiralled.
45:53Even more.
45:55Kylie looks wrapped.
45:58You look stoked.
45:59It's not that bad, mate.
46:00Don't worry.
46:01I'm leaving.
46:02You're leaving?
46:03Yep.
46:04Why?
46:05If they come on, I'm leaving.
46:06I'm done.
46:07Hayden, Mimi and myself were off to 40 winks.
46:12As we were coming to leave,
46:14Georgia came up and introduced herself
46:16and announced that her and Ronnie were taking over house one.
46:19Hi!
46:21Hi.
46:22I'm Georgia.
46:23I know.
46:24Oh, nice to meet you.
46:25What's your name?
46:26Kylie.
46:27Are we friends or are we not friends?
46:28No, we're not friends.
46:29No.
46:30No.
46:31My guard went up and I did not want to deal with it.
46:34What's going on?
46:35I'm not happy.
46:36You're not happy about what?
46:37It's a competition.
46:38You guys.
46:39What's...
46:40It's not...
46:41I mean, we've only done it twice before.
46:42Yeah.
46:43I definitely was not...
46:45not a happy camper that day.
46:47They're dropping me to the airport.
46:50I'm getting out.
46:51Hey.
46:52Hey.
46:53Welcome to the vlog.
46:54See ya.
46:55Bye.
46:57We've all come in on an equal playing field
46:59and then all of a sudden they're coming in
47:01who already have how many years' experience
47:03under their belt at renovating.
47:06Kylie's the best.
47:07No, seriously.
47:08Like, I'm out.
47:09Like, I'm not even kidding.
47:10No, you're not.
47:11Yeah.
47:12No.
47:13100%.
47:14Why?
47:15I'm over this.
47:16I was over it weeks ago.
47:17No, you're not.
47:22I'm a new soul.
47:24I came to this strange world
47:26hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take.
47:30There have been plenty of ups and downs
47:32over the last two days on the block.
47:34Art over in house two.
47:36It's nothing but good news
47:38as Courtney and Grant's new build team have started today.
47:41We don't have a backup, Len.
47:43We don't have a builder.
47:44I'll figure that part out.
47:46I'm calling it from now.
47:47Don't come back on Thursday.
47:48I don't need yous.
47:49It's all good.
47:50I'm done, thanks 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.
47:59I don't want to push you guys.
48:00Obviously, you 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 our site anyway.
48:09They work at a completely different pace
48:11to what we've seen in the past.
48:13We'll stay back, too.
48:14We're happy to work back a little bit,
48:15whatever we can work till tonight,
48:16so we'll do whatever you guys need.
48:17It's all right.
48:18Let's do it?
48:19Let's do it.
48:22No worries.
48:23Just another day.
48:25Art is the new block royalty contestants
48:27and have got one person all riled up.
48:31I see you're pissed off about the Ronnie and George thing.
48:33100% I am.
48:34Oh, okay.
48:35I told you last night, it'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.
48:41No, it's fine.
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.
49:01And 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
49:14to check out the in-store bed match system.
49:17Sitting on the 40 Winks bed, getting my bed match made.
49:21This is a wild experience.
49:24How a bed massages you
49:27is the perfect sleeping position for this dance.
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 f***ing 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.
50:24I'll tell you what.
50:25Come on the block, they said.
50:26Come help out.
50:27Well, that sounds a bit fun.
50:28Today, our objective was to give the new team,
50:31whoever they are,
50:32give them a leg up
50:33and give them the best start to the week
50:35and see what happens.
50:36And then drama ensues,
50:38which is, you know, very much like sport.
50:40Just another day on the block.
50:41Yeah.
50:46Hello?
50:48Is it Mimi?
50:49Yeah.
50:50Scotty?
50:51Yeah.
50:52Is Kylie there?
50:53Yeah, she doesn't want to speak.
50:55Can she hear me?
50:56No.
50:57She's walked away.
50:59Kylie.
51:01Well, can you go and get her?
51:02She needs to talk to me.
51:06Kylie.
51:08Kylie, are you there?
51:09Scott.
51:10Kylie, just calm down.
51:11Relax.
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.
51:18Ronnie is a bit of a prankster and so am I.
51:21I'm a bit of a prankster as well.
51:22Yeah.
51:23Ronnie and Georgia, and this is the honest truth,
51:25are here for one day only
51:28and then they're going home this afternoon.
51:30And I'm extremely busy,
51:32well, I'm not right now because I'm talking to you,
51:34but I'm extremely busy ringing around
51:37trying to find new contestants that are not ex-contestants
51:40to take their place.
51:43Do you get it?
51:45Yeah, I get that.
51:46Are you all right?
51:47Yeah.
51:48Are you happy with me now?
51:49Sure.
51:50All right.
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!
52:16With the arrival of real contestants,
52:18he'll take over house one.
52:20Everyone was like,
52:21ooh, what is happening here?
52:22Something big's about to happen.
52:24Fresh blood.
52:25Is there new contestants?
52:26We have new neighbours.
52:28Yeah, they seem so nice.
52:31But not everyone is on the warm welcome bandwagon.
52:36Can you just play nice?
52:37No.
52:38They did come into it.
52:39I don't care.
52:41I want Paige and Jessie back.
52:51Next time...
52:52Today is not going to be fun.
52:54It, like, scares me.
52:55..the nerves are high.
52:59Christian!
53:01With the arrival of real contestants,
53:03he'll take over house one.
53:05Everyone was like,
53:06ooh, what is happening here?
53:07Something big's about to happen.
53:09Fresh blood.
53:10Is there new contestants?
53:11We have new neighbours.
53:13Yeah, they seem so nice.
53:16But not everyone is on the warm welcome bandwagon.
53:20Can you just play nice?
53:21No.
53:23They did come into it.
53:24I don't care.
53:26I want Paige and Jessie back.
