FunTranscript
00:00:00It was a heartbreaking way to start the week.
00:00:06Thank you very much.
00:00:09Nothing's more important than your mental health.
00:00:12And it is a big decision and a brave one that you both made.
00:00:15I hope so.
00:00:17Love you all.
00:00:19See ya.
00:00:21We've got a block to build, onward and upward.
00:00:24Jessie and Paige have left the block.
00:00:27For the other contestants,
00:00:29there was still a main bedroom and walk-in robe to deliver.
00:00:32Ah!
00:00:33Hey guys.
00:00:34Hi.
00:00:35Block royalty, Ronnie and George,
00:00:36have turned up for a winner's and grinner's dinner.
00:00:39Yeah!
00:00:42And I asked them to stick around.
00:00:44Guys, thank you so much for coming back for the whole show.
00:00:49This is house one and this is where you're going to be.
00:00:52Okay.
00:00:54What is going on?
00:00:56And we hatched a prank that went down like a lead balloon.
00:01:00If they come on, I'm leaving.
00:01:02But Queen Kylie threw her toys out of the cot.
00:01:05They're dropping me to the airport.
00:01:07She was having none of it.
00:01:09Our prank has backfired.
00:01:10Oh no!
00:01:11Yeah, I'm going to leave you.
00:01:13From here, it was damage control.
00:01:15Kylie, Ronnie is a bit of a prankster and so am I.
00:01:19I'm a bit of a prankster as well.
00:01:21Yeah.
00:01:22Ronnie and Georgia, and this is the honest truth,
00:01:24are here for one day only
00:01:26and then they're going home this afternoon.
00:01:29Then fresh blood arrived.
00:01:31Oh my goodness!
00:01:32Our youngest contestants ever.
00:01:35Maddie, 24, and Charlotte, 22, from Sydney.
00:01:39And they are house flippers.
00:01:41We've got renovating like down pat.
00:01:43I take the planning, I take the budgeting,
00:01:45whereas the practical side, you pick her before you get me.
00:01:48These girls will be a big threat.
00:01:51Nice to meet you.
00:01:52Everyone welcomed them, except guess who?
00:01:55Can you just play nice?
00:01:56No.
00:01:57I'm the block Grinch.
00:01:59Tonight, with only 26 hours to go,
00:02:02Maddie and Charlotte still don't have plasterers.
00:02:06The girls want to know if you're keen to help them out later.
00:02:08Not really.
00:02:09Should they calm down?
00:02:10No.
00:02:11Even if I like pay them extra?
00:02:12No.
00:02:16We're literally screwed.
00:02:18It's going all over my walls.
00:02:20Then the Grinch, a.k.a. Kylie, gambles big on a secret weapon.
00:02:25Would you believe, it's never been used on the block before.
00:02:30Teams battle through the night and into the morning.
00:02:36Right up until...
00:02:38Call stop!
00:02:39Call stop!
00:02:41Then the judges get their socks blown off.
00:02:44It's visceral, I can feel this room.
00:02:46This is the most marketable room so far on the block.
00:02:49This takes my breath away.
00:02:52And there's still a one-point penguin in play.
00:03:17This week is the biggest week we've had so far.
00:03:23It's going to be a massive day.
00:03:25I think it'll be the biggest day we've had on the block so far.
00:03:27Yeah.
00:03:31That's right, because these are the biggest rooms they've tackled so far.
00:03:35All of them are over 30 square metres in size,
00:03:38with ceiling heights of around four metres.
00:03:40That's a lot of plaster, a lot of paint and a lot of work.
00:03:46Oh, my lordy.
00:03:48Let's spend a full day getting our room sanded and ready for painting
00:03:53so we can absolutely nail it and start the styling
00:03:56and get the room ready for delivery tomorrow morning.
00:04:00Over in house one, the new arrivals on the block,
00:04:03Maddie and Charlotte, are in big trouble.
00:04:06Morning, girls.
00:04:07Good morning.
00:04:08Morning.
00:04:09Delivery of your hot choccies.
00:04:10Oh, wow, this is great service, isn't it?
00:04:12Oh, thank you.
00:04:13Thank you very much.
00:04:14How did we go with the plastering?
00:04:17Disaster.
00:04:18Oh, dear, that's my word.
00:04:19That means bad.
00:04:20Yeah, it is bad.
00:04:21At like 10 o'clock last night, we called the plasterer
00:04:23and he said he wasn't coming back.
00:04:25Because he didn't say goodbye when he left,
00:04:27and we're like, oh, we'll just double check that he's coming back
00:04:30because it's been a bit of a flaky situation.
00:04:32And then Charlotte called him and he was like,
00:04:34yeah, sorry, I'm not coming back tomorrow.
00:04:36And we're like, oh, OK.
00:04:38So all you've got to do now is hustle.
00:04:40Yeah.
00:04:41Hustle whoever's here.
00:04:42Yeah, literally.
00:04:43I think we'll just walk around.
00:04:44We'll make a round now.
00:04:45Beg.
00:04:46Yeah, please.
00:04:47That's all you can do.
00:04:48Maybe I'll go now.
00:04:49Yeah, good work.
00:04:50All right, thanks, Jan.
00:04:51No worries.
00:04:56So house one's biggest issue is they don't have a plasterer
00:04:58and they've still got a couple of hours of plastering to go.
00:05:02If they find a plasterer, there's two hours of plastering,
00:05:05then there's drying time, then you've got to sand it,
00:05:08and then you've got to start the painting process.
00:05:10Hey.
00:05:11Hey, honey.
00:05:12We're on the rounds to beg.
00:05:14Have you had any luck?
00:05:15No.
00:05:16The girls want to know if you're keen to help them out later.
00:05:19Oh, really?
00:05:20Probably just work on a back-up plan.
00:05:22Yeah, that's what I'm trying to work on.
00:05:24Yeah.
00:05:25Do you know where your plasterers are?
00:05:26In Melbourne.
00:05:27Should they come down?
00:05:28No.
00:05:29Really, no chance?
00:05:30Zero chance.
00:05:31Less than zero.
00:05:32The girls came in again to ask if the plasterer...
00:05:35It's a no.
00:05:36Love to help them, and if we had time,
00:05:38if the guys were done last night, they could have them.
00:05:41But we need them today, so...
00:05:43What was your name?
00:05:44Padna.
00:05:45You don't happen to think that, like, at some point,
00:05:48you could topcoat ours?
00:05:50Because our plasterer decided to ditch us last night.
00:05:52Oh, Jesus.
00:05:54And so we can't finish our... And we only got here on Wednesday.
00:05:58Um...
00:06:00I'm not sure.
00:06:02Trying to find a plasterer who can drop everything
00:06:05and get to Phillip Island at a moment's notice
00:06:08is going to be next to impossible.
00:06:11I rang every man and his dog.
00:06:13No, I'm sorry, we can't.
00:06:15There's no way we could get there. We're very busy.
00:06:18$1,000 in sand?
00:06:20We're not doing sanding.
00:06:22You won't do sanding?
00:06:24Oh, not today, sorry.
00:06:25I've already, um...
00:06:26I've already got plans.
00:06:28Hello? Now? Right now?
00:06:30Yeah, right now.
00:06:32Sorry.
00:06:33It's too far. They don't want to go now.
00:06:35Even if I, like, paid them extra for travel?
00:06:39No.
00:06:41I talk to people from Melbourne, from Phillip Island,
00:06:45from who knows where else.
00:06:47This is just, like, this morning, to random numbers,
00:06:50and I had a million yesterday.
00:06:53Oh...
00:06:54I don't even know at this point who I've rung, who I haven't rung.
00:06:57So...
00:06:59We're literally screwed.
00:07:05Over in House 2, Home Pro by DIY Blinds
00:07:08are working out how to install Courtney and Grant's recessed curtains
00:07:12into a very tight wall niche.
00:07:14We're going to have to adjust the track.
00:07:15I'll adjust the track.
00:07:16I think I might have to shorten it down a little bit
00:07:18so it doesn't go into the reveal as far.
00:07:21So the track's going to be shortened slightly now.
00:07:23All right. Yeah.
00:07:24These guys do an amazing job every week,
00:07:26installing all the blocks, curtains and blinds at the last minute.
00:07:32And Dan's concerned that House 2
00:07:34is trying to cram too many features
00:07:36into their main bedroom and walk-in robe.
00:07:39Have you guys bitten off more you can chew this week, you think?
00:07:41No, we'll be all right.
00:07:42We actually don't have as much as everyone else.
00:07:44Archways, curves.
00:07:45Got the big skylight feature wall, nib walls.
00:07:47Skylight's not us.
00:07:48Floor walls.
00:07:49A lot going on.
00:07:50Graphical's easy.
00:07:52To be honest, we don't have as much as other people.
00:07:54Oh, no, there's a lot in here.
00:07:56We'll get it done.
00:07:57We'll be fine, Dan. We'll be fine.
00:07:58One way or another, we'll get it done.
00:07:59Don't stress.
00:08:01It's a lot.
00:08:02But if you get it, that's all your block contest.
00:08:04You went all out.
00:08:05Mind games, Daniel.
00:08:06It's not mind games.
00:08:07I'm just pointing out the obvious.
00:08:08Nah, we'll be all right.
00:08:09We'll be sweet.
00:08:11Courtney and Grant's main bedroom
00:08:13is at the end of the house in the bedroom wing.
00:08:15And it's gonna be chock-a-block
00:08:17with a large mirror, fireplace,
00:08:19recessed curtains and lounge chairs.
00:08:22Plus a plush green fabric king bed,
00:08:25artwork and port-a-panel back wall.
00:08:28It's a lot.
00:08:30One way or another, we'll get it done.
00:08:31We always get things done.
00:08:32Not just on the block.
00:08:33We'll get it done.
00:08:34Absolutely.
00:08:36One way or another,
00:08:37I'll kill myself before this room's not finished.
00:08:40Don't say that.
00:08:52That one didn't work.
00:08:53I need plasterers.
00:08:55I rang every man and his dog.
00:09:00And then I went back around to the houses again
00:09:03because I'd already gone,
00:09:04I probably actually had gone like three times
00:09:06to the other houses
00:09:07to ask if they were done yet
00:09:09and we could maybe take their plasterers
00:09:11once they'd finished their house.
00:09:12So after this, I'm unavailable.
00:09:14Sorry, yeah.
00:09:15You don't have any other contacts
00:09:16that like even when we...
00:09:17Well, we're gonna keep trying for you.
00:09:19We're gonna have breakfast now
00:09:20and we'll bring a couple of people.
00:09:22So we'll keep trying for you.
00:09:24Poor Sam.
00:09:25I'd come and bugged him multiple times
00:09:27and his answer was no.
00:09:29He was catching a flight to Adelaide that day.
00:09:31Fully fair.
00:09:32And his boys had done like 12-hour days
00:09:34like two days before.
00:09:36So they were all knackered.
00:09:38But there was a slight chance
00:09:40even if you come for 15 minutes, half an hour.
00:09:42At this point, I was asking for a minute.
00:09:44I'll give you an hour now.
00:09:45I'll get in there and start trying.
00:09:47Are you sure?
00:09:48Yeah.
00:09:49Good work, mate.
00:09:50I could cry.
00:09:51That's so lovely.
00:09:52Good work.
00:09:53There's an hour.
00:09:54Yeah, that's a start.
00:09:55As long as you get an hour off everyone.
00:09:56I meant, I was like,
00:09:57I'll take an hour from you and you and you.
00:09:58One hour, that's it.
00:10:02And then I literally came back from my attempt
00:10:04with all my plastering stuff
00:10:06and I had two plasters.
00:10:07Sam, from getting you plastered,
00:10:09is an absolute legend.
00:10:13We've got reinforcements.
00:10:15Our plaster ended up there.
00:10:17Yeah, how did that happen?
00:10:18He was walking out
00:10:19and they must have accosted him.
00:10:21And begged him.
00:10:23I'm not sure.
00:10:25Really?
00:10:26Yeah, I'll give you a hammer, Sammy.
00:10:27Oh my gosh, thank you so much.
00:10:28What's your name?
00:10:29Jaden.
00:10:30What's your life saver?
00:10:31No dramas.
00:10:32Oh my gosh, okay.
00:10:33What do you need?
00:10:34Easy on my go, eh?
00:10:35I said I'd rather come in because you're here.
00:10:39And off they went.
00:10:40They were legends.
00:10:41What's wrong with being confident?
00:10:44We are confident that we are going to get this done.
00:10:46We are going to be up all night until it is done.
00:10:49We have the plasters from next door.
00:10:51They are going to save our butts.
00:10:52And then after that we are going to sand
00:10:54and then paint.
00:10:57It's a big call
00:10:58but what the girls are hoping to create
00:10:59is a luxurious coastal style bedroom
00:11:02with a neutral colour palette of white, cream and beige.
00:11:05Hardy group panelling on the back wall
00:11:07with sconce lights
00:11:08and sheer linen curtains to the ceiling.
00:11:14From week one our dark queen,
00:11:16Kylie's been determined to stand out from the crowd.
00:11:19Dark, textural, predominantly black.
00:11:22And her styling has been controversial.
00:11:25This is probably one of the best things in here.
00:11:27It's the black toilet paper.
00:11:29Rude.
00:11:30Gradually she's forged a path through the dark forest
00:11:33and is now producing competitive rooms.
00:11:38Let's start with that Trishugi barn timber.
00:11:43That is absolutely stunning.
00:11:45That's a big, big tick.
00:11:48Yeah.
00:11:55And today her latest stroke of genius has arrived.
00:11:59Well, Graphico, I've been speaking with Damien
00:12:02about doing sort of more of a metallic gold
00:12:05in our coffered ceiling.
00:12:07Goldy bronze I guess.
00:12:08Yeah, and inside of our,
00:12:10like the ceiling of our walk-in robe.
00:12:13It's going all over my walls.
00:12:15It's going everywhere.
00:12:16Don't tell me that.
00:12:18Just my little insert of my ceiling.
00:12:21Copper.
00:12:22Copper.
00:12:24Mmm.
00:12:25Would you believe it's never been used on the block before?
00:12:28It's going to be a statement, but...
00:12:30Statement.
00:12:32What?
00:12:34You look horrified.
00:12:35Kylie's brief was she's all about statements,
00:12:38so she wants statements everywhere.
00:12:40It's very metallic too,
00:12:41so it's going to be pretty cool when the lights shine up.
00:12:44I like daring.
00:12:45Oh, you've got to do something bold.
00:12:47You've got to, like, level it up.
00:12:49And because I've done black and white,
00:12:51so I'm levelling it up.
00:12:53To?
00:12:55To metallic ceiling.
00:12:57Like, what else would I do?
00:13:00Shane is going to love it.
00:13:02You chose the most interesting one.
00:13:04Never been seen.
00:13:05100%, never been seen.
00:13:06Never been seen.
00:13:07I like to do things like that.
00:13:09Never been seen.
00:13:10Nice.
00:13:11Good work.
00:13:17So you're right there, dragon.
00:13:20Is that all right?
00:13:21I can't hold in the width.
00:13:22Can you just put a hand in the middle?
00:13:25I'm glad I'm not doing that.
00:13:29This week, I feel much more at ease
00:13:32because this is way more me with this room.
00:13:35So I know the judges are going to be really off it.
00:13:38They're going to be like,
00:13:39oh, God, she's really unleashed,
00:13:41and we don't like it.
00:13:45This week, their main bedroom and walk-in robe
00:13:47will be up the end of the house in the bedroom wing.
00:13:50So Kylie's planning to cover
00:13:52her entire coffered ceiling in the main bedroom
00:13:55with the bronze gold wallpaper,
00:13:57and it will also feature on the ceiling
00:13:59and back wall of the walk-in robe.
00:14:01The rest of the bedroom
00:14:03will have the statement charred black timber
00:14:06called Shosugi Bar on the back wall with up-lighting,
00:14:09cascading pendant lights and pink tones on the bed.
00:14:12Why is it so important to you to stick to your guns, Kylie?
00:14:16It's important because I'm stubborn as hell,
00:14:20and I don't know what I want.
00:14:28In the last four weeks,
00:14:29Christian and Mimi in house five have won three times.
00:14:32It's Christian and Mimi!
00:14:36Christian and Mimi again.
00:14:39Christian and Mimi.
00:14:41Christian and Mimi.
00:14:45They are running super hot,
00:14:47and their styling choices have been brilliant.
00:14:50So what is it that they are doing right?
00:14:59I think what we've found for all of our rooms
00:15:03is that emotional connection.
00:15:05You want to walk into a room, and you want to be like,
00:15:08I see myself here, like, this is where I feel safe.
00:15:11This is my safe space, essentially,
00:15:13and I want everyone to feel that in all of our rooms.
00:15:16But this main bedroom is yellow, sandy,
00:15:19and sand, ground, where you're most grounded.
00:15:24Their main bedroom is located upstairs,
00:15:26and Mimi's sandy theme runs through the carpet,
00:15:29rug, ported timber feature wall, and artwork.
00:15:32It's offset by ochre and brown colours in the cushions,
00:15:35throw rug and armchair.
00:15:37And the cherry on top this week
00:15:39is a bedhead from former winners
00:15:41Steph and Gian's Japandi Estate Collection.
00:15:44Even this week, you know, everyone came in and was like,
00:15:47wow, why is it so quiet and peaceful up here?
00:15:49It's just the vibe. House five's got going on.
00:15:53Coming up, teams push through the night...
00:15:55Is there a reason you're naked?
00:15:57..and into the morning, frantic to deliver a winning room.
00:16:01The judges are gobsmacked.
00:16:03The fact that they can pull this together
00:16:05in the space of a week... Yeah.
00:16:07..blows my mind.
00:16:08This...
00:16:10..takes my breath away.
00:16:12It absolutely takes my breath away.
00:16:15The winner by half a point,
00:16:18and it's one of the tightest results ever.
00:16:21It is bad.
00:16:22It is bad.
00:16:32It's main bedroom week.
00:16:34There's a lot of work to do because these rooms are big.
00:16:37Most of them over 30 square metres in size.
00:16:40That's triple the average bedroom size in Australia.
00:16:47And in house three, Rikki and Hayden are under the pump.
00:16:50They've messed up their flooring order,
00:16:52so it's going in late, like right now.
00:16:57Floors have got to get installed.
00:16:59Plastering getting finished in a row.
00:17:01Curtains will get installed.
00:17:03We've got to finish off this feature that's poured a timber wall.
00:17:07Sparkies have got to fit off.
00:17:09Aircon's got to go on.
00:17:12Sanding's got to get done.
00:17:14Then we've got to paint.
00:17:16Then we've got to style it, put our artwork together.
00:17:19Yeah, make sure everything comes together.
00:17:21So there's a lot of stuff there.
00:17:24It's just managing your time and your trades better
00:17:26and just having a better plan.
00:17:28Yo.
00:17:29Did you know that there's carpet going in the main bedroom?
00:17:32We thought we had boards the whole way through.
00:17:34It's definitely mentioned in the email.
00:17:36Is it too late to change it?
00:17:44Because me and Hayden didn't pick up on the fact
00:17:46that our timber flooring hadn't been installed earlier in the week,
00:17:49there was a miscommunication and we were getting carpets installed,
00:17:52but we didn't want carpets, we wanted boards.
00:17:55So because of that, Flooring Extra were good enough to change that,
00:17:58but it couldn't happen to the safter.
00:18:01It probably cost us two or three hours.
00:18:03I reckon get the boys to help, otherwise...
00:18:05He's only on his own.
00:18:07Yeah, I know.
00:18:09Quicker is always better, Dan.
00:18:11That's it.
00:18:14Yeah, great idea, Dan, but it's fallen on deaf ears,
00:18:18and Sandu from Flooring Extra is left to do it all on his own.
00:18:27Lots of delays.
00:18:29That's the thing, like, generally most of the time it's going to be our fault.
00:18:33Yeah.
00:18:34The boys love a bit of Gravigo wallpaper.
00:18:37Week two they use it in their kids' bedroom
00:18:40and last week in their guest bedroom.
00:18:42So what's on the wall today?
00:18:46Oh, yeah.
00:18:47Looks nice, doesn't it?
00:18:48Very impressive.
00:18:51It'll look even better with the rest of the bed on it.
00:18:54Yep.
00:18:55Yep, so when you add the king bed, palm tree wallpaper
00:18:58and white quarter timber backdrop, floorboards, large rug
00:19:02and coffered ceiling, you've potentially got a winning room.
00:19:06If we can get this done, like, we have a lot to do today,
00:19:09but if we can get this done, the boys are a red-hot chance for a win.
00:19:14Over in house four, Brad's just walked into his main bedroom
00:19:18and he's seen this.
00:19:27Down lights are being cut out
00:19:29and they've drilled right where a truss is
00:19:32so the light doesn't fit through the freshly installed Gravigo.
00:19:40What are you going to do about that?
00:19:41I'm not going to do **** all about it, but it better get fixed.
00:19:49Yeah, so we're trying to repair the hole that's there.
00:19:52It's a bit of a shame, but, you know, these things happen.
00:19:54So we're going to try to cut a patch.
00:19:56Yeah, I haven't used this material like this before,
00:19:59so I'll give it a go.
00:20:01Fine precision work.
00:20:03We'll stick it up there and I think that'll take your eye off it.
00:20:06Especially once the lights are going down,
00:20:08I think it's going to work.
00:20:10I think it's going to be all right.
00:20:12How does it look from down there?
00:20:14It's a circle at once there.
00:20:16The thing is, like, at this stage, it's probably all we can do.
00:20:20Well, it looks better, maybe.
00:20:23So I guess we pray to the judging gods that no-one sees it
00:20:27and we get over the line.
00:20:30So that fixes the dodgy hole,
00:20:32but Kylie and Brad want another eight holes drilled for downlights
00:20:36that won't be blocked by the steel in the roof.
00:20:39Surely they're not going to make the same mistake twice.
00:20:42They're going to check and they're going to triple check.
00:20:44And if they need someone to get up in the ceiling and check again,
00:20:47then that's what's going to be happening
00:20:49before they put a hole in my ceiling.
00:20:51So Brad and apprentice electrician Stanley get up into the roof
00:20:55to check out the position of all the steel battens and trusses
00:20:58and relay that information to the guys below.
00:21:02So if me getting up there and double-checking the measurements
00:21:05is going to make it faster, well, that's what we did
00:21:08and that's what's been done.
00:21:12And finally, we have lift-off.
00:21:14Holes being drilled in the right places
00:21:17and downlights being installed.
00:21:19Hallelujah.
00:21:22Oh, holy...
00:21:24Look, they're fine where they are.
00:21:27I probably would have wanted them, like, in the back a little bit.
00:21:30It's fine, though.
00:21:32How much light do you really need...
00:21:34I'm happy where they are now. ..in a bedroom?
00:21:36I've still got pendants to go in, so...
00:21:39Are they big?
00:21:41Yeah, of course they are. They're big.
00:21:43That was a stupid question.
00:21:45I do everything oversized.
00:21:47So, wait, did you just pinch your wife's bum?
00:21:51No, I don't think he's ever seen one.
00:21:54Ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:21:59In house one, newbies Maddie and Charlotte
00:22:01are experiencing their first night,
00:22:03trying to get their room finished
00:22:05before judging at 9am tomorrow morning.
00:22:08It is currently 9pm and we are still prepping for paint.
00:22:15We have a long, long way to go.
00:22:24And over in house three,
00:22:26Rikki and Hayden are also pushing to get it all done.
00:22:42Is there a reason you're naked?
00:22:46It's hot in this wall. All that insulation.
00:22:48We did a good job.
00:22:50Yeah, it is real hard work sanding over the years.
00:22:53Please put some clothes back on.
00:22:56I think it's like 10.30 at night.
00:22:59Not one lick of paint is on the walls.
00:23:03After sanding, we started painting the room at 3.30 in the morning
00:23:07on, I guess, it's Sunday at this point.
00:23:10So, Sunday and reveals at 9am.
00:23:15Spraying definitely saved our butts.
00:23:19I was so confident in the fact that Charlotte
00:23:21knew how to use the spray gun.
00:23:23Painting, rolling, would have literally killed us.
00:23:26I didn't even know if we would have got one coat on.
00:23:28Let's get it. Let's do it.
00:23:30I just got my second wind.
00:23:32Hard. I'm jacked.
00:23:35I am going to literally just load the gun up and spray it a lot.
00:23:43It's a bad day to be an unpainted wall, let's just say that.
00:23:51And we didn't finish spraying until 6am.
00:24:00Coming up, judgement day waits for no one.
00:24:04We can do this.
00:24:05Some of the best rooms ever seen emerge from the chaos.
00:24:09I have not seen a room like it.
00:24:11It is gobsmackingly beautiful.
00:24:14Marty's actually thinking of asking Channel 9
00:24:17if he can be a bidder in this auction.
00:24:22I'm in love with this house.
00:24:24Hey, check the car.
00:24:37There's still a lot of unfinished rooms this morning.
00:24:40Newbies Maddie and Charlotte, who only arrived on Wednesday,
00:24:43are struggling to finish.
00:24:45And so are Rikki and Hayden.
00:24:47The rest are close. Very close.
00:24:50How are you?
00:24:51Good.
00:24:52Tired.
00:24:53Tired?
00:24:54Yeah, just final touches.
00:24:56Tired, sleep deprived, excited to see results.
00:25:06I don't like it like that.
00:25:08Quick, we're running out of time.
00:25:12As much as we're really far ahead a week,
00:25:15now that it's coming down to the nitty gritty
00:25:17and there's definitely some finer details
00:25:19that we can't perfect.
00:25:21You can only do what you can do.
00:25:22Yeah.
00:25:23Hi, Grantus.
00:25:24Hello.
00:25:25With her room under control,
00:25:26Mimi drops in for a sneak peek at house two.
00:25:29No, look, it's collapsing.
00:25:31Stop ****ing around and go and clean the window
00:25:33or do something.
00:25:34I'm doing something.
00:25:35I'm putting it on.
00:25:36I leave now.
00:25:39Grant, her tantrum.
00:25:40What's new?
00:25:41I'm going to have to put it on the floor.
00:25:43I don't care, just do something.
00:25:44I'm ****ing doing everything at the moment.
00:25:46Oh, the Grant room.
00:25:48It's a good one, I like that.
00:25:49You get really angry quickly
00:25:51and then a couple of minutes later, you're over it.
00:25:55Are you done?
00:25:56This is not therapy.
00:25:58It's actually an emotional roller coaster for me.
00:26:00This is not therapy.
00:26:01The key is just don't react.
00:26:03How many more minutes?
00:26:0417.
00:26:0517?
00:26:06This is actually what I was most excited about
00:26:08going on the block, is the behind the scenes.
00:26:10It's like, what is actually real, what is not?
00:26:12Can you pass me some things, Charlotte?
00:26:13No.
00:26:16It's harder than you think.
00:26:189am is a real time on the block.
00:26:21We can do this.
00:26:22We've got this.
00:26:26We were frantically, like, chucking boxes out of the room
00:26:29into the hallway.
00:26:30I'll get out of my room.
00:26:33If it's in the hallway, it doesn't matter.
00:26:35The judges won't be able to walk over it,
00:26:37but we can deal with that later.
00:26:38It was chaos.
00:26:39What's wrong?
00:26:40Lights.
00:26:41We're going to have condensers and down lights.
00:26:47Only hope.
00:26:48Yeah, at this sort of point, you probably
00:26:50feel more mentally beat.
00:26:52And when you've worked that hard for seven days
00:26:54to try and get a win, and you know you're so close.
00:27:03Whistle.
00:27:04Almost done.
00:27:06Almost done.
00:27:08Oh, I can't get down that far.
00:27:10My back's sore.
00:27:12Fuck.
00:27:15Yay!
00:27:16Oh my god, I love this room.
00:27:20We did it.
00:27:21Oh, you smell.
00:27:22I smell.
00:27:23Good work, boss.
00:27:27I am absolutely gutted.
00:27:30We didn't complete our room.
00:27:32We were this close.
00:27:42Hello.
00:27:43Hey, Scotty.
00:27:44She's saying hello again.
00:27:48Yeah, she's greeting everybody.
00:27:49Hello.
00:27:50Hello.
00:27:51Hello.
00:27:52Hey, Scotty.
00:27:53Hello.
00:27:54Hi, how are you?
00:27:55Come on back here.
00:27:57Hit your mark.
00:27:58Thank you very much.
00:27:59Hello, everybody.
00:28:00Hello.
00:28:01Hi, Scotty.
00:28:02Girls, welcome to your first experience
00:28:05at my makeshift hanging room.
00:28:07Girls, welcome to your first experience
00:28:10at my makeshift HQ, Maddie and Charlotte.
00:28:13Welcome to The Block.
00:28:19You certainly hit the ground running this week,
00:28:21arriving on Wednesday with 24 hours' notice,
00:28:24and you fell straight into the middle of main bedroom,
00:28:27the biggest room we've done so far in this competition.
00:28:30So how are you finding your time on The Block, girls?
00:28:33It's been great, but super chaotic.
00:28:35Yeah.
00:28:36Crazy.
00:28:37Overwhelming.
00:28:38Well, you know, you will hit the ground running tomorrow
00:28:41with a full week and a fresh start.
00:28:43We're excited.
00:28:44I mean, everybody tackled a lot of real estate this week
00:28:48and it tested a few of you, didn't it?
00:28:51Sure did, mate.
00:28:52Sure did indeed.
00:28:53Good practice for the weeks ahead,
00:28:55because the rooms are only going to get bigger and bigger
00:28:58as we go on.
00:28:59Kitchens, living, dining, not to mention upstairs as well.
00:29:02That's all happening,
00:29:04which is why you have to come in here every Sunday night
00:29:08and walk out with 10,000 bucks from Ford,
00:29:11so you can pay for all those big rooms.
00:29:13All right, let's find out who it's going to be.
00:29:15This is how it works, Maddie and Charlotte.
00:29:17House one is first.
00:29:19Oh, there we go.
00:29:20That's a bit nerve-wracking.
00:29:22You get out of the way, it's fine.
00:29:23Yeah.
00:29:24Oh, oh, oh.
00:29:26Let your body move to the music.
00:29:30Hey, hey, hey.
00:29:32Oh, oh, oh.
00:29:34Okay, Maddie and Charlotte.
00:29:43Love you all.
00:29:45See ya.
00:29:49House one, baby.
00:29:50Here we go.
00:29:51Yeah!
00:29:53Today our objective was to give the new team,
00:29:56whoever they are, a leg up
00:29:58and give them the best start to the week
00:30:00and see what happens.
00:30:04What are we doing?
00:30:06Fresh blood.
00:30:08Oh, my goodness.
00:30:10This is wild.
00:30:11Oh, my God, you're on the block.
00:30:13It's insane.
00:30:14I can't believe it.
00:30:15How are you, ladies?
00:30:16Hi.
00:30:17Nice to meet you.
00:30:18Nice to meet you.
00:30:19This is crazy.
00:30:20You're Charlotte?
00:30:21Yes.
00:30:22Are you nervous?
00:30:23Yes.
00:30:24We're all the feelings.
00:30:25Well, don't be nervous.
00:30:26It's just the block.
00:30:27Yeah, just the block.
00:30:28I know that this is not your first rodeo.
00:30:29No.
00:30:30No.
00:30:31We don't want anyone else to know.
00:30:32No.
00:30:33We live in Sydney, but we work in Newcastle.
00:30:35She's studying in uni and I'm, like, working,
00:30:37doing, like, finance and accounting.
00:30:39In 2020, we just were like,
00:30:41why not give this whole house-flipping thing a go?
00:30:44This, by Sunday morning, has to be a master bedroom,
00:30:48fully painted, decorated, and a walk-in rug.
00:30:53We haven't even had a full day on site yet,
00:30:55and we're already leaving to go for a challenge.
00:30:58And we thought it would be the perfect opportunity
00:31:01for you guys to make something magnificent
00:31:04to go in your main bedrooms, you beauty.
00:31:10This is, like, a shambles.
00:31:12Look, I think they did a great job.
00:31:14And for a first challenge as well,
00:31:16I would have liked to have maybe seen
00:31:18a little bit more colour in the lampshade.
00:31:24Wait for it, Chelle. Here it comes.
00:31:26We actually work for ourselves.
00:31:28We flip properties.
00:31:29Oh, no!
00:31:30How many properties have you done so far?
00:31:32We've renovated four.
00:31:33Three are still going at the moment.
00:31:35So how many?
00:31:3624.
00:31:37And 22.
00:31:38Wow.
00:31:39This is great.
00:31:40Georgia has created this beautiful room, right?
00:31:42Am I going to, like, flop even more
00:31:44if I try and, like, so last-minute change something?
00:31:46Are we, like, risking not even finishing?
00:31:48Stripes, for me, is just not doing it.
00:31:50Well, don't do it.
00:31:51It's modern, colonial,
00:31:53and we're trying to move away from that.
00:31:55I want James Hardy product.
00:31:57There's no reason we probably can't glue it to the plaster.
00:32:00I needed to buy linen, cushions, all the styling bits and bobs.
00:32:04I have the biggest pile of stuff there.
00:32:06The poor girls are like, oh, my goodness.
00:32:08There was definitely a bunch of things
00:32:10that we didn't execute to exactly how we wanted to,
00:32:13but that's OK.
00:32:14I'm proud that we just... we got there.
00:32:22OK, girls, your first feedback on the block.
00:32:27Well, Maddie and Charlotte.
00:32:31Look at this.
00:32:32It's fresh.
00:32:33Big ceilings.
00:32:35What a room.
00:32:38Big ceiling?
00:32:39I've got two people that started on Wednesday
00:32:42and they've got this?
00:32:43This is insane.
00:32:46Wow.
00:32:50Let's just acknowledge how much room...
00:32:53Yeah.
00:32:54..they had to do in how little time they had to do it.
00:32:57That's absolutely amazing.
00:32:59This is just such a fantastic result for the constraints they had.
00:33:04That's positive.
00:33:05You've got those beautiful sheers right to the ceiling,
00:33:09and it's a crushed linen,
00:33:10which just makes it feel so organic and beautiful.
00:33:14She thought it's really lovely.
00:33:16Yeah, the crushed linen sheers that we didn't steam.
00:33:19I think that's meant to be good, but...
00:33:21Yeah, we're going to take that as a compliment.
00:33:23This is definitely an evolution of that modern colonial style.
00:33:26I really love the hearty groove as part of that palette.
00:33:29That was my idea, wasn't it?
00:33:30Yeah.
00:33:31Kind of.
00:33:32I'll let you have that one.
00:33:33I'll take credit for that.
00:33:36The Queen of Style, Shana Blaze,
00:33:38has some advice regarding your styling.
00:33:41We have this huge room, but we have really low chairs.
00:33:45And then we have this huge ceiling, but really high lights.
00:33:49So look at the proportion.
00:33:50And then we have wall sconces that really are too high,
00:33:53that they should be lower.
00:33:56The judges all realised it must have been hard
00:33:58to come into this week with Jessie and Paige's
00:34:01modern colonial style already well established.
00:34:06Marty Fox certainly doesn't think you have to stick
00:34:09to Jessie and Paige's style.
00:34:11Yep.
00:34:13There's actually another eight or nine weeks to go,
00:34:16so the whole modern colonial could actually be spun
00:34:19and they could run with their own style,
00:34:21because really the hero rooms of the property
00:34:24start from the main suite.
00:34:26From what I'm seeing now, Maddie and Charlotte
00:34:28could be a real contender to take out this competition.
00:34:31They've been here three days and you're giving them that call?
00:34:34Look at it.
00:34:35They've done this in three days.
00:34:40The judges also knew about the challenge this week
00:34:42at Clay & Co.
00:34:44I think that is a really cute lamp.
00:34:46I love the colour.
00:34:47I think that's beautiful and I love the shape of the lamp
00:34:50and the sense of play on the lamp and the artwork.
00:34:54I love that they have elevated the space.
00:34:57Like when I look at the previous rooms,
00:34:59they were fun and they were modern colonial,
00:35:01but this here, for me,
00:35:02it feels a little bit more expensive in here.
00:35:04This is a bit more elevated.
00:35:06Right, so plain, plain again.
00:35:08There's like beige upon beige, right, is elevated.
00:35:13I feel it is.
00:35:14I don't disagree with you.
00:35:16Oh, I might just go with that.
00:35:18No, I think there's always a place for beige upon beige,
00:35:21especially in a competition where we have five houses.
00:35:24They all have their own personality.
00:35:26I think a misstep would be to completely ignore
00:35:28what's been done in the past
00:35:30and then to sort of whitewash it with your own taste
00:35:32and ignore that completely, but they haven't.
00:35:34They've taken elements from it
00:35:36and I think if they continue in that direction,
00:35:38especially in the living spaces, that's a winning formula.
00:35:41On to the walk-in wardrobe
00:35:43and Kingsman really delivered for you this week.
00:35:53Wow.
00:35:56Warm up is definitely on trend.
00:35:58These warm greys, definitely on trend.
00:36:01They have been given a real gift here.
00:36:05They could have walked into something that was unworkable for them
00:36:08and it matches perfectly with what they've done in the room.
00:36:11As a suite, extremely marketable.
00:36:15The material selections have been pretty incredible.
00:36:18It's just the craftsmanship a little bit,
00:36:20but again, three days on the block,
00:36:23you're expecting to see the minor issues that we have here
00:36:27and they're minor.
00:36:29This is a very successful week for Maddie and Charlotte.
00:36:32Yeah.
00:36:33Welcome to the block.
00:36:34Not bad for a couple of accountants.
00:36:35Not bad for a couple of accountants.
00:36:37That's it, girls. Well done.
00:36:42I was happy with that. I was stoked.
00:36:44Ready for your first full week on the block?
00:36:46Yeah, a bit nervous, but excited.
00:36:49More time. Yay. Less chaos. Hopefully.
00:36:57It's time for you to decide which contestants you think
00:37:00have created this week's winning room.
00:37:03All you have to do is head to the block website now to cast your vote.
00:37:07And don't miss the results a little later in the show.
00:37:20OK, Courtney and Grumpy.
00:37:24Let's do it.
00:37:26I told you I was keeping it. It's staying.
00:37:35This week was chaotic, to say the least.
00:37:38Just everything was so rushed.
00:37:40And it was main bedroom.
00:37:42We've got our new builders building under construction,
00:37:45which is actually their name.
00:37:46We'll stay back, too.
00:37:47We're happy to work back a little bit, whatever we can work till tonight.
00:37:50Thank you. Whatever you guys need.
00:37:52Let's do it. Let's do it.
00:37:55So the fireplace we're getting from Schott's Home Emporium.
00:37:58And it has the exact same look as a real fireplace.
00:38:01So you still have the real timber logs,
00:38:04and then the rest, I guess, is electric.
00:38:10Kids, we came in and thought they wanted to install on Wednesday morning.
00:38:13I know. I feel bad.
00:38:14Are you guys ready?
00:38:15We don't even have green-tongue flooring down.
00:38:16Where are you going to put it in the insulation?
00:38:20They did drop off the wardrobes, and they look amazing.
00:38:25Look at this. That bed is beautiful.
00:38:28Where's that from?
00:38:29That's from the block shop.
00:38:30Look at that. Velvet. Green velvet.
00:38:32Like ruching.
00:38:33Ruching around the edge.
00:38:34The mattress is inset.
00:38:36And then you've got the velvet cushion.
00:38:38Fit around the outside.
00:38:39It's a bed fit for, like, king and queen.
00:38:42Oh, love.
00:38:43Wow.
00:38:44I think in terms of styling,
00:38:45we've definitely put a lot more effort into this room.
00:38:48We've got a fireplace.
00:38:49No one else has a fireplace.
00:38:51I think it's just a bit more exciting, this room,
00:38:53than our other rooms.
00:39:01Darren Palmuk was the first one through the door today.
00:39:09Yum.
00:39:10Wow.
00:39:11Oh!
00:39:18This is 2024 style.
00:39:20Next level.
00:39:23It's absolutely Courtney and Grant style,
00:39:25and it works beautifully with the bathrooms and the bedrooms.
00:39:33Oh, yum!
00:39:35Like, oh, it's visceral.
00:39:37I can feel this room.
00:39:40Wow.
00:39:41Shayna thought the style is quite modern, Italian,
00:39:45or what you like to call modern-terranean.
00:39:48It is nothing we've seen before.
00:39:50It has a very Italian feel to it.
00:39:53Like, that bed reminds me of a toga.
00:39:56You know, this is not an easy style to do
00:39:58because it could come across a bit gimmicky,
00:40:00but it's not trying to match, and I think that's the thing.
00:40:04It is unique.
00:40:05It's Courtney and Grant.
00:40:07This is a main bedroom that you actually come down the chute.
00:40:12Like, they've got that gorgeous little curved ceiling.
00:40:18They've created a mood.
00:40:19They've got the essence,
00:40:21and this is nothing we've ever seen before,
00:40:24and I am absolutely adoring it.
00:40:27This is the most marketable room we've seen so far on the block.
00:40:33A buyer will walk in here exactly like us,
00:40:35just react and think, I have not seen a room like it.
00:40:43The detail, the planning,
00:40:45the fact that they can pull this together in the space of a week...
00:40:48Yeah.
00:40:49...blows my mind.
00:40:50The build quality is insane for a single week,
00:40:54which is a great shout-out to you new builders.
00:40:57Definitely.
00:40:58Nailed it.
00:40:59Yeah.
00:41:00The detail on the craftsmanship, the textured walls,
00:41:03how they've built the walls out so that the shears then go in behind,
00:41:07which frames these windows and the vistas,
00:41:10it's just at a different level.
00:41:12These guys are operating in a league of their own.
00:41:16This is what I want to see if I'm going to a holiday house.
00:41:19It's something completely different, something unique.
00:41:23How much did you want to jump on that bed?
00:41:25I'm going to sit on this edge here because that's just...
00:41:27Oh, my God, that's so soft.
00:41:29That is just awesome.
00:41:30All the kids just sitting there,
00:41:32because there's nothing worse than the beds
00:41:34with the little timber on the side...
00:41:36You're bashing it up.
00:41:37...in your shins the whole time.
00:41:38And then Darren spotted what was on the floor next to it.
00:41:43Everything in here is excellent, except for that.
00:41:51There is a reason it is a shame to itself
00:41:53and it's facing the naughty corner,
00:41:55because it's gross and it should face the naughty corner.
00:42:00We agree with that point.
00:42:01Perfect.
00:42:03You can't polish a turd, but you can put glitter on it.
00:42:06Mate, I would almost take the one point off and get rid of it.
00:42:09I do think that that piece of art is a little bit big
00:42:12for that section of wall.
00:42:13It's just too high.
00:42:14It's too high.
00:42:15It's just that section of the room is not nailed
00:42:18and I really do not like fake flames in a fire.
00:42:23This, for me, decreases the elevation within the room
00:42:27because everything feels so luxurious.
00:42:29That certainly doesn't.
00:42:31I think aesthetically it does look right
00:42:34and I think it does give this purpose to look out these doors
00:42:38to have a little sitting nook.
00:42:40I think it anchors the space really beautifully,
00:42:43architecturally as well, building this wall out.
00:42:45So I'm cool with it.
00:42:47The judges then walked into your walk-in wardrobe
00:42:49and the praise kept coming.
00:42:58That palette is just divine.
00:43:01Love the consistency with the stone, the lighting.
00:43:06We've got real timber floors.
00:43:08The grain in here and the grain in here
00:43:10and the colour of that and the colour of that.
00:43:12Beautifully sought.
00:43:13And matched against this leather-look finish is just...
00:43:19The fact that these sweaters and tops
00:43:23are pristine ironed and placed to perfection
00:43:28and having the time to do that is ridiculous.
00:43:32This is a completed main suite
00:43:35and the moment you walk in and you look to your right
00:43:37and you see that bathroom,
00:43:39you look to your left and you see this walk-in
00:43:41and then you walk into that bedroom,
00:43:45I think you're just taken away.
00:43:47Marty's actually thinking of asking General Nahon
00:43:50if he can be a bidder in this auction.
00:43:56I'm in love with this house.
00:43:57Get your chequebook out.
00:43:58Yeah.
00:43:59That's it, well done.
00:44:05I'd like to win.
00:44:06I'd like to win.
00:44:07It's a competition.
00:44:08I'm not going to sugarcoat it.
00:44:10We want to win.
00:44:11We want to win.
00:44:18Welcome back to my HQ on Phillip Island.
00:44:20I've heard the judges sing praises for houses one and two.
00:44:24Now it's time for the boys in house three to face the music.
00:44:28OK, house three, Ricky and Hayden.
00:44:34This week has been something that we thought
00:44:38we were looking forward to,
00:44:40but ended with dreams smashed.
00:44:44This week we're doing main bedroom and walk-in rope.
00:44:49What's on this wall?
00:44:51Cabinetry.
00:44:52Cabinetry the whole way?
00:44:54Yeah.
00:44:55We've added these pull-out mirrors.
00:44:57I wonder if you buy a full-length mirror
00:44:59that just stands against the wall.
00:45:00A full-length mirror is a must.
00:45:04Today, guys, we're going to be making paper mache lampshade.
00:45:09How thick we going, mate?
00:45:10We're not going to have enough.
00:45:12I'm pretty thin.
00:45:13Are you?
00:45:14I'm going thick.
00:45:16If you were to put this in front of me
00:45:18and tell me two fellas had done this,
00:45:20I wouldn't believe you.
00:45:21And those winners today are...
00:45:23Ricky and Hayden.
00:45:28This is cool, too. I like this.
00:45:30And what's that going to be, a feature?
00:45:32It's a mirror.
00:45:33It's a mirror?
00:45:34It's a giant mirror.
00:45:35It is not a mirror.
00:45:37And what are you going to put up there,
00:45:38stars or something like that?
00:45:39Or what are you doing?
00:45:40Stars are here, mate.
00:45:42Just go for that real grand sort of look
00:45:45when you walk into the master bed.
00:45:48Just the perfect holiday resort living space.
00:45:50We wanted to take a risk
00:45:52and we wanted to go big to get it,
00:45:54you know, to get the win this week
00:45:56and I'm glad we did it.
00:46:05The judges walked in
00:46:06and they were immediately impressed.
00:46:12Look at that ceiling.
00:46:17And a shade of palm.
00:46:18They've listened.
00:46:23Absolutely appropriate to the coastal location.
00:46:26Feels so holiday.
00:46:30I think all the choices in here,
00:46:32the bedsides, the lamps, this mirror,
00:46:35it's all gorgeous.
00:46:42This, wow.
00:46:44That's the hero of the room.
00:46:46That is a lot of time and effort and craftsmanship.
00:46:50I wonder if the time and effort into that feature
00:46:54is the reason why we don't have sheer curtains hanging.
00:46:59No, probably not, mate, to be honest.
00:47:01We had a bit of a miscommunication with our flooring mob
00:47:04which probably cost us a few hours
00:47:05and if we had that few hours back,
00:47:07we probably would have finished.
00:47:08Because you didn't need much more, did you?
00:47:10No, a couple of hours if that, yeah.
00:47:12There's some things lacking in here too.
00:47:13I think there's a few things.
00:47:15We've got the sheers and the blinds aren't here.
00:47:18I tell you what, A for effort of hiding bits and pieces,
00:47:21but there's no doona cover on the doona.
00:47:24There's no sheets on the bed.
00:47:25Look at the pillows.
00:47:26Exactly, they're just shoved there.
00:47:28Just throwing them on.
00:47:31But the proportion of the bedsides are brilliant
00:47:34and the proportion of the bedhead is gorgeous.
00:47:40Despite the fact the room obviously wasn't finished,
00:47:44Marty thinks a photo of this room
00:47:47will look stunning on a domain listing when it is.
00:47:52A photo from the end of the hall looking at this room
00:47:55just shows how big this room really is
00:47:58and they just need to finish it off.
00:48:01I wish that I could give them a good score this week
00:48:05with a finished room.
00:48:06I can't because of the craftsmanship
00:48:10and that comes back to planning.
00:48:12But in terms of the direction that they're going in,
00:48:14you've got to commend them.
00:48:16If that stopped them finishing off this,
00:48:20I'm really happy
00:48:21because this takes it out of the ordinary.
00:48:24This is a detail that puts them on a level
00:48:28that they haven't done before.
00:48:31And I've got the winning lamp.
00:48:33They have the winning lamp as a little bit of personality.
00:48:38Darren is also disappointed for you both
00:48:40that this room isn't finished.
00:48:43I can see in my imagination
00:48:46what this looks like resolved and complete
00:48:48but I'm disappointed that I have to use my imagination to do that.
00:48:54They thought hopefully the Kingsman wardrobe
00:48:57wouldn't disappoint.
00:49:04Oh, this is grand.
00:49:06Nice big opening.
00:49:08Wow.
00:49:12So you get all of this additional storage
00:49:15that the other floor plan design does not give.
00:49:19Yeah, you do.
00:49:20And I love these doors.
00:49:21They are glorious.
00:49:25I do think it's interesting though
00:49:26that we've got the major steam generating space there,
00:49:30especially with two shower heads,
00:49:31I'm assuming there's going to be a lot of moist, warm air there.
00:49:36And this is the open section
00:49:37and this is the part that's protected.
00:49:40Whilst it makes sense visually to have it more open,
00:49:43practically this is one of my considerations, I think.
00:49:47How much of that warm air do I want exposed directly to my clothes?
00:49:51Not much.
00:49:53I'm trying to understand why they put carpet in here
00:49:58walking straight from the bathroom.
00:49:59Because to me, coming straight from the bathroom,
00:50:02I would have put timber here.
00:50:05Timber should definitely still be in here.
00:50:10I'm a bit concerned with the attention to detail.
00:50:14Unfinished symphony, this one.
00:50:16Yeah, yeah.
00:50:17I feel panic in these rooms.
00:50:19I really do.
00:50:20I feel panic.
00:50:21And it's not just not finishing off in the last bits of shears.
00:50:24We've still got a sensor hanging from the ceiling,
00:50:26we have a wall here that hasn't been painted
00:50:28and it's so dirty.
00:50:30They need to step up in their planning, their organisation,
00:50:34their attention to detail.
00:50:35This is a competition, not a game.
00:50:39That's it, boys.
00:50:40Well done.
00:50:44You've got what it takes to win a room.
00:50:46But yeah, just five weeks in a row of just being the chumps,
00:50:50more or less, and yeah, it does start taking a toll.
00:50:55It's starting to take a toll.
00:51:08OK, house four.
00:51:13This week, we really want to finish.
00:51:16So we're doing main bedroom and walk-in room.
00:51:21So do you want that white or sugar bun?
00:51:24Needs to be the sugar bun.
00:51:25We're having that all the way across our back wall.
00:51:28I just know the judges will be off it this week again.
00:51:31I'm sick of changing and compromising.
00:51:33Me too.
00:51:34Yeah.
00:51:35I've been speaking with Damien about doing
00:51:37sort of more of a metallic gold coffer ceiling.
00:51:41Yeah.
00:51:42Coffer ceiling.
00:51:43Coffered.
00:51:44Coffer.
00:51:45Coffer.
00:51:46Coffered.
00:51:47Coffered.
00:51:48Coffin.
00:51:49I think coffered.
00:51:50Coffin.
00:51:52Hi.
00:51:53Hi.
00:51:54Welcome to Art Lovers.
00:51:55It's all visual.
00:51:56And I know what I want.
00:51:57I just have to see it.
00:52:07This is it.
00:52:08I need to base my room around this.
00:52:12Whoa.
00:52:13Hello.
00:52:14Hello.
00:52:15Hello.
00:52:16Yeah.
00:52:17Love that.
00:52:18Oh, you do?
00:52:19Yes, I do.
00:52:20I love it.
00:52:21I love it.
00:52:22Hopefully the judges can appreciate the fact
00:52:25that I'm still daring.
00:52:28This is my room and my style, but...
00:52:30We'll be playing the penguin if we get close enough.
00:52:42Our judges walked into this dark and moody room.
00:52:51Oh, yes, they did.
00:52:57Talk about personality.
00:53:02I am so in love with this.
00:53:06Oh, my gosh.
00:53:07Yum.
00:53:12We're in a really classy, luxe, sophisticated
00:53:17main bedroom suite that could be in any holiday destination.
00:53:25And it feels just right.
00:53:28Like, yes.
00:53:30I'm so excited for it.
00:53:33OK.
00:53:35Shaina, in the first few weeks on the block,
00:53:37was probably one of your fiercest critics.
00:53:41I'm over the moon for them,
00:53:43because I feel like they've met us in the middle.
00:53:45I really am, because I feel like the heaviness is what they wanted.
00:53:49And for what we've got on the wall here is just so stunning,
00:53:52those little pin lights, just to give the detail.
00:53:57Not too proud of your electrician skills, are you?
00:54:02And get this, they all loved the lamp.
00:54:06They loved the lamp?
00:54:08Yes!
00:54:11I love that lamp.
00:54:13It looks like the barnacles on the pier.
00:54:19Is that, oh, is that what they made?
00:54:21That's their papier-mâché lamp.
00:54:22Oh, that's sick.
00:54:23I'm surprised that that's not the winner.
00:54:25That's beautiful.
00:54:26I love that.
00:54:27They must have been on drugs.
00:54:30Marty actually can't understand how you didn't win the challenge.
00:54:36Boys.
00:54:37That's because we know art, Scotty.
00:54:39And they clearly don't.
00:54:41No, absolutely no idea.
00:54:44I'm loving the scale of everything, and I just love these chairs.
00:54:48I love the colour.
00:54:49I love the fact the bed is off-centre,
00:54:51and I kept thinking that in some of the rooms,
00:54:53that if someone has a feng shui thing,
00:54:55because with the bed right in the centre of the opening,
00:54:58some people might feel uncomfortable.
00:55:00A lot of buyers value feng shui.
00:55:02You were so correct on that.
00:55:04Shona thinks you've delivered a room for an elegant man in smoking jacket.
00:55:11I'm walking in here with a burgundy smoking jacket,
00:55:16and I've just been to see Tom Ford.
00:55:20Yeah, it's all those cues.
00:55:22It's tailored, the tailored man.
00:55:24OK.
00:55:26This is what they were aiming for, I am sure of it.
00:55:29I'm sure this is what they wanted to do from day one.
00:55:32They just didn't know how to express it,
00:55:34and they didn't know how to express it in this home, in this location.
00:55:41Can we just look up and look at this metallic wallpaper?
00:55:48You might think that's bold. That is so bold.
00:55:51This wall is the hero, but it's also that ceiling.
00:55:54That ceiling is so unique and risky, but it's actually not off-putting.
00:55:58It's actually going to bring the buyer in and go,
00:56:00well, this is the house that has that quirkiness to it,
00:56:04but now they're nailing the materiality.
00:56:06Yes.
00:56:08And what I love is that we were so annoyed
00:56:11at the guests in the kids' rooms not having heating and cooling.
00:56:15Fans were just OK.
00:56:17The fact that we've got the Hitachi split system in here,
00:56:21finally, at least we can put that to rest.
00:56:24This amenity, phenomenal, because this is also extra storage
00:56:28and an area that was missing from the others.
00:56:31They had little sections of being able to get ready,
00:56:34which took away from enjoying the room.
00:56:36So these guys are actually allowing the buyer
00:56:39to enjoy the entire space, which is really unique.
00:56:42Everything wasn't 100% perfect for Shaina,
00:56:46and there's a couple of things that Shaina would change.
00:56:49OK. Yeah.
00:56:51I would bring down those lights,
00:56:53utilise one as the bedside lamp and just have them down.
00:56:57And I love...
00:57:01How sexy is it?
00:57:03I love how clever that is.
00:57:05But when I'm laying in bed,
00:57:07I don't want to see the mechanics of it,
00:57:10so I actually would make that a solid door and I'm...
00:57:13Fluted. I was just about to say...
00:57:15Fluted. There you go.
00:57:18Now into the wardrobe.
00:57:25Look at that.
00:57:26Just cannot, just cannot contain me.
00:57:30It's like walking into a jewellery box.
00:57:33It just works. They've nailed it.
00:57:35Yeah.
00:57:36I like the wallpaper in the ceiling in there.
00:57:39I love it in here.
00:57:41It just looks so opulent and luxurious.
00:57:44This rug is such a great inclusion.
00:57:49The drama of having that Grafico run along the ceiling,
00:57:52down the wall, into this rug...
00:57:54Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
00:57:56Dara, please.
00:58:00They've hit their look and feel now.
00:58:06Creatively, aesthetically...
00:58:08They're on the money.
00:58:10Yeah.
00:58:11That's it, Kylie and Brad.
00:58:13Wow.
00:58:16Look, it's actually nice
00:58:18and they can finally see where I'm trying to take the whole house.
00:58:25WHISTLE BLOWS
00:58:36OK, how's five?
00:58:38Christian and Mimi.
00:58:44This week was probably the longest week on the blog.
00:58:49This week we did a main bedroom and a walk-in robe.
00:58:59The winner of week four on the blog
00:59:02and taking home $10,000 worth of Gucci dress and earrings,
00:59:06Christian and Mimi.
00:59:08Will you have your Gucci on tomorrow?
00:59:10Of course.
00:59:11Of course I'm going to rock the Gucci with the earrings too.
00:59:18Gucci, I'm Gucci, I'm Sultan
00:59:20I'm the flyest girl you've ever seen
00:59:25Our secret weapon this week is the Porta Timba.
00:59:28Floor to ceiling!
00:59:30OK, so bedhead along this wall, 3,200.
00:59:33The king bed in the middle.
00:59:36Two bedside tables, Porta Timba all the way to the top.
00:59:39Wow, wait, where's the walk-in robe start?
00:59:42So from there we've got like one, two...
00:59:45It's like three metres.
00:59:47It's big.
00:59:52So today I'm going to, faithfully,
00:59:56to collect and claim our prize.
01:00:00Stunning.
01:00:01Love.
01:00:02Yes.
01:00:03Stunning leather detail on these beautiful Timba hangers
01:00:07from Solichi.
01:00:09$300 co-hanger.
01:00:12BANG
01:00:15My bedhead's here!
01:00:17From Japandi Estates.
01:00:19Thanks, Steph and John.
01:00:21I believe we've done enough for a win this week.
01:00:25Another one.
01:00:26Four from five would be insane.
01:00:28Let's just hope the judges agree.
01:00:36You've won three out of four rooms so far on the block.
01:00:39So the judges come with pretty high expectations.
01:00:45Last room of the day.
01:00:50Look at that ceiling.
01:00:52How's the rake?
01:01:00Whoa.
01:01:01See, not only architecturally is this house different from the rest,
01:01:05and that's a gift, but they are delivering on the finish.
01:01:10What the actual hell?
01:01:15Just talk about a high calibre of standard here.
01:01:19Like, this is the fifth house we've seen where it's not just great,
01:01:24it's excellent.
01:01:26Like, this is excellent.
01:01:28I was not expecting this.
01:01:30This takes my breath away.
01:01:34It absolutely takes my breath away.
01:01:37Calm down, Shona.
01:01:40Hey, it was pretty good.
01:01:41Bit over the top.
01:01:44This is so calming, it's so beautiful.
01:01:46That artwork, it is gobsmackingly beautiful.
01:01:51The waves of the bedhead.
01:01:53This is original Japandi from Steph and John's business.
01:01:57It's beautiful.
01:01:58I can see that selling out.
01:02:01And look at their lamp.
01:02:02Oh, my goodness.
01:02:03It's like a scene.
01:02:05It's calming.
01:02:06It's coastal.
01:02:07It's luxurious.
01:02:08And, again, it's a totally different personality from everything
01:02:12that we've seen today.
01:02:13Yeah.
01:02:14This is by far the most hotel-like room that we've walked into
01:02:18in terms of finesse, calmness and sophistication.
01:02:22This really is different.
01:02:28And look at those bedside tables.
01:02:30Like, I haven't seen them before.
01:02:32They are hot.
01:02:33Those brown colours, this ochre palette, the colour scheme in here,
01:02:38the rust, brown, ochre.
01:02:40Wow.
01:02:41Like, hello, velvet.
01:02:44The home-priced shears on the rake, incredible.
01:02:49All I can look at are those shears and the fact that they're on a rake.
01:02:54They've been made in this time frame to that standard on a rake.
01:03:00Insane.
01:03:01Like, incredible.
01:03:03Everything wasn't 100% perfect.
01:03:05Darren did think the light switch is way too far from the bed.
01:03:09That.
01:03:11Oh, well, that's too far.
01:03:12It's just, look.
01:03:13That's outrageous.
01:03:14Look, like, darling, can you turn off the light?
01:03:17You've got to get out of bed, right?
01:03:18Yeah.
01:03:19It's OK.
01:03:20I'd fall out of bed.
01:03:21And why just the one bedside lamp?
01:03:24Why they don't have a lamp there, I don't know.
01:03:26Asymmetry seems to be really consistent
01:03:29throughout this season of the block when it's not practical.
01:03:32And I don't actually think it looks that good.
01:03:35Have two bedside lamps.
01:03:36Form over function.
01:03:37And that's just not right.
01:03:41What?
01:03:42That was me.
01:03:43He said...
01:03:44I plugged it in and had it on.
01:03:45And I took it out.
01:03:46Put it in the bathroom.
01:03:47Did you?
01:03:48I did.
01:03:50But these were minor quibbles.
01:03:52Because in the wardrobe, they loved it just as much.
01:03:56I'm so into you
01:03:58I can barely breathe
01:04:02We have this massive walk-in robe.
01:04:04Like, this doesn't feel like a holiday house.
01:04:07At all.
01:04:08This is a hotel.
01:04:12I want to see what Mr Pitch is having.
01:04:14Oh, yeah.
01:04:15We've got a Gucci prize in here, right?
01:04:17I'm so into you
01:04:20Oh, look.
01:04:21I think they look really good.
01:04:23Oh.
01:04:24They match this outfit, don't you reckon?
01:04:26You found one bit of Gucci.
01:04:28Where's the other?
01:04:30I'm Gucci, I'm Gucci, I'm Gucci
01:04:33Oh, there you go.
01:04:34Oh, that's very theatrical, that one.
01:04:37I mean, it'd suit you better than me.
01:04:39Well, I think it would.
01:04:40A little mini.
01:04:41Look at those hangers.
01:04:42Oh, yeah.
01:04:43That is a luxury detail.
01:04:45Well, that's part of their winnings.
01:04:46Yes, it is.
01:04:47Yes.
01:04:48I wonder what else there is.
01:04:49All the inclusions.
01:04:50They not only found a beautiful Gucci dress and earrings,
01:04:53but some stunning Hafele inclusions as well.
01:04:56Oh, look at this.
01:04:57Oh, God, look at this one.
01:04:58This is beautiful.
01:04:59Look at all the inserts here.
01:05:04Oh, my goodness.
01:05:05So that's the $10,000 Hafele upgrade.
01:05:10How stunning is this wardrobe and the inclusions?
01:05:13Like, this is so beautiful.
01:05:16Christian and Mimi just rose to the occasion.
01:05:18They have absolutely adorned this house in the most beautiful way.
01:05:24This is going to be an absolutely photographable,
01:05:29saleable, beautiful home
01:05:31with proportions like no other house on the block.
01:05:35This is not just a holiday home.
01:05:38This isn't just a place to retire to.
01:05:41They have created a lifestyle in this house.
01:05:43It absolutely feels so coastal.
01:05:45It feels warm.
01:05:46It feels inviting because it says Phillip Island.
01:05:50I can imagine people wanting to buy this
01:05:53to eventually live in for the rest of their life.
01:05:55I really can.
01:05:56It's just stunning.
01:05:58That's it.
01:06:03That's another bucket list for the block.
01:06:05It is a 10.
01:06:14OK, scores, here we go.
01:06:20OK, Maddie and Charlotte.
01:06:22Deryn Palmer.
01:06:24This is just such a fantastic result
01:06:27for the constraints I had.
01:06:36Oh, wow.
01:06:38This is just fantastic.
01:06:41Oh, wow.
01:06:43I love.
01:06:44Courtney and Grumps.
01:06:50Oh, yum!
01:06:52Like, oh, it's visceral.
01:06:54I can feel this room.
01:07:01Good job.
01:07:02Good job.
01:07:03I want a 10.
01:07:04You want a 10?
01:07:06Rikki and I.
01:07:08I can see in my imagination
01:07:11what this looks like resolved and complete,
01:07:14but I'm disappointed that I have to use my imagination to do that.
01:07:25Kylie and Brad.
01:07:29This is what they were aiming for, I am sure of it.
01:07:37Oh, my God.
01:07:44Oh, my God.
01:07:45And Christian and Mimi.
01:07:48Talk about a high calibre of standard here.
01:07:51It's not just great, it's excellent.
01:08:01It's OK.
01:08:08OK, Marty Fox.
01:08:10Maddy and Charlotte.
01:08:13I'm so excited that they're actually part of this competition now.
01:08:17These guys know what they're doing.
01:08:25Courtney and Grumpy.
01:08:28The fact that they can pull this together in the space of a week
01:08:32blows my mind.
01:08:38Oh, ****.
01:08:40Rikki and Hayden.
01:08:44I wish that I could give them a good score this week
01:08:48with a finished room.
01:08:49I can't.
01:08:55Kylie and Brad.
01:08:59This is the house that has that quirkiness to it,
01:09:02but now they're nailing the materiality.
01:09:07Oh, my God.
01:09:16Christian and Mimi.
01:09:20Not only architecturally is this house different from the rest,
01:09:23but they are delivering on the finish.
01:09:27Oh, my God.
01:09:35Right.
01:09:36Now, before I go back here...
01:09:41Kylie and Brad.
01:09:42Nah, it's not quite close enough after that one, Scotty.
01:09:45It's not?
01:09:46No.
01:09:48Copy that.
01:09:49See you later.
01:09:51Sure?
01:09:52OK.
01:09:54Done. That is the answer. Final now.
01:09:57Fingers crossed.
01:09:58Look at me.
01:10:00Chain of Blaze.
01:10:02Maddie and Charlotte.
01:10:05We have this huge room, but we have really low chairs.
01:10:09And then we have this huge ceiling, but really high lights.
01:10:13So look at the proportion.
01:10:16Courtney and Grumps.
01:10:18They've created a mood. They've got the essence.
01:10:21And I am absolutely adoring it.
01:10:25Vivian Hogan.
01:10:28It's hard to tell whether these are the final decisions of styling,
01:10:33if there was more to come.
01:10:36Kylie and Brad.
01:10:38I'm over the moon for them.
01:10:40It feels elegant and sophisticated.
01:10:44Christian and Mimi.
01:10:46I was not expecting this.
01:10:48This absolutely takes my breath away.
01:10:53OK.
01:10:55The winner of Week 5 of The Block Main Bedroom Walking Road Week is,
01:11:00by half a point...
01:11:05God, that's bad.
01:11:08It's a tie between two and five.
01:11:13Oh!
01:11:14Oh!
01:11:19So what happens with the tie?
01:11:21Tie, split to ten grand, five grand each. Fantastic.
01:11:24I'm happy. We definitely are grateful for that five grand.
01:11:27But I'm a competitor, and we want to win outright, right?
01:11:30So, yeah.
01:11:31It's like in the footy when it's full time and it's a draw,
01:11:34and, like, you haven't lost, but you just don't feel like you've won.
01:11:39Coming in equal first,
01:11:40Courtney and Grant and Christian and Mimi on 28 points.
01:11:44Second on 27.5, Kylie and Brad,
01:11:47who would have won if they'd used the penguin.
01:11:50Maddie and Charlotte came third on 24.5,
01:11:53and, lucky last, Rikki and Hayden on 21.5.
01:11:59Kylie and Brad, you could have had it again.
01:12:02Oh, it is what it is, Scotty.
01:12:04Jeez, offload that penguin, kids.
01:12:07Keeping it.
01:12:08Just get rid of it and then win a pack.
01:12:10That's it.
01:12:11All right, there's no Ford getaway tomorrow,
01:12:13because I've got something very special in mind for everybody.
01:12:17It's going to be very exciting.
01:12:18And I've got some VIP guests turning up to join in.
01:12:23All will be revealed tomorrow morning,
01:12:25as will next week's room when you jump on to the Domain Hub.
01:12:30It's going to be exciting.
01:12:31I'm looking forward to next week.
01:12:33Get some rest.
01:12:34It's going to be a big one.
01:12:36Congratulations.
01:12:37Thanks, Scotty.
01:12:41All right, hug and walk out.
01:12:42That's it.
01:12:51Next week, it's everyone's favourite room
01:12:54and the heart of the home.
01:12:56So bring on the kitchen magic.
01:12:58Whoa!
01:12:59Like, holy...
01:13:00Wow.
01:13:01Yeah.
01:13:02It is so simple, but it's so luxurious.
01:13:06And our newest and youngest contestants will go from tragedy...
01:13:11Like, you're telling me, like, if you need something,
01:13:14then you need to come to me and be like...
01:13:16It's quite rude, and I really don't appreciate it.
01:13:18Do you need a hug?
01:13:19Come here, come here.
01:13:20..to triumph.
01:13:24Maddie and Charlie.
01:13:26But will it be enough with a penguin in play?
01:13:29Well done.
01:13:30Done and dusted.
01:13:31Done and dusted.
01:13:32Ripper.
01:13:33Our room reveal galleries are now open for inspection
01:13:36exclusively at the Block website.
